Un.even though they’re only making a set of movement tailored to the music.
Their individuality comes clear.
Yoshiko-san.you’d think that she’d have a generous and warm and comfortable personality just like her lord, Ruriko-san but. Yoshiko-san’s dance is very delicate.and detailed You can tell that her fingertips of her hand and toes dances without distraction. And yet.it doesn’t feel oppressive. Just like a big flower.glossy and gorgeous. Yoshiko-san’s a beauty that’s matured for her age.
.Haa
The dance ended and Yoshiko-san thanked the audience.
Mana leaks a sigh.
That’s unfair.it’s so beautiful and mature
She has shown a dance with a very high level difference compared to the first elementary school girls.
Along with the big applause.people with bouquets come together in front of the stage. There’s 7, 8 young men.
Yoshiko-san’s very popular
Michi said.
Whenever she dances every year.there’s that many men offering her flowers.
But.Yoshiko-san only receives bouquet from the elementary girls, then bows to the hall again.
Unlike Misuzu-sama.Yoshiko-san didn’t have Kouzuki-sama recommend afiancefor her
.I see
They’re not men who just like Yoshiko-san. If they marry Yoshiko-san.they can become acquainted with Kouzuki house through Ruriko-san. With that plot in mind.there’s a lot of them approaching her.
Therefore.Yoshiko-san never accepts bouquet from men
If you receive a bouquet from a man in such a public place.it’ll be misunderstood in various ways.
To avoid that.Yoshiko-san rejects the men’s flowers. That’s what happens every time and yet there’s as much as 8 men carrying a bouquet of flower. .That much It must be really attractive to become friendly with Kouzuki house. Yoshiko-san exits and the lights changed.
It’s Ruriko-san’s turn this time!
Mana looked at me with a smile.
Ruriko-san wearing white clothing appears in the darkness. She sits facing down on the posotion on the stage. Biin, the lute sounds. A strong light shines on Ruriko-san! Ruriko-san’s costume is embroidered with silver. The silver thread reflects the light and shine brightly. Ruriko-san looks up. .Then begins to dance.
.!!!
The atmosphere of the audience changed instantly.
Ruriko-san’s dance is beautiful. It’s like a beautiful flower blooming on top of the mountain where no one can reach. It’s a sacred flower that would shatter at the moment a person’s hand touch it. It’s a clear and pure soul incompatible to the world where humans live. Yoshiko-san’s dance shows that she’s an attractive girl who’s maturing but. Ruriko-san’s a fairy. She’s no human. Pure.no,I can feel her soul that’s just too pure.
.That girl’s so pitiful
Yukino mutters
Even though she’s so alone.she only thinks that it’s natural for her.
I’m surprised from what Yukino said,
Ruriko-san’s different from everyone. She’s living on a different world. Even if she looks the same.she seems different from other people. Even with Yoshiko-san, her attendanthas always been by her side. Ruriko-san, the successor of Kouzuki family is living on a different dimension. That’s the extent.Kakkahas isolated Ruriko-san from this world. The audience see the girl on the stage as a pretty and pure fairy. I was the same. Yukino’s the only one. She’s the only one who saw Ruriko-san as a 15 year old human girl.
.In that girl’s world, there’s no one but her
Ruriko-san’s dance continues.
.Un Only the stage feels like a different world. Ruriko-san’s in a really far away place. As if we’re watching a satellite broadcast. Yes.it’s earth and moon away. And yet.Ruriko-san is happily dancing in a sanctuary where she’s alone. She’s waving at us from the other world. She’s sending a one way traffic. What a sad dance. The spectators misunderstands her dance.misunderstanding the feeling out of place as a wonderful power of expression, they’re amazed by it.
Ruriko-san looks very cold
Mana’s mutter expressed everything.
Ruriko-san has no one to warm up together.
Even though it’s so cold.she’s smiling
An innocent soul that doesn’t notice that she’s lonely.
She only knows her solitary world. In her life, it’s natural for her to be in solitude. Ruriko-san smiles alone, plays alone in extreme solitude. And yet.she’s turning her face towards us. She’s smiling at our distant world .That is. The way of life KouzukiKakkaforced into her. As the daughter of Kouzuki house. .Before long. The communication from the distant world ended. Ruriko-san’s dance.
.Waa!
At the moment Ruriko-san bow to thank!
The entire hall applauded loudly. Everyone.what they saw just now. They only think of it as a wonderful dance. They haven’t noticed Ruriko-san’s expression of her solitary soul.
.!!!
.Then.
I’m surprised. Ruriko-san who finished dancing. There’s nobody coming with a bouquet.
.What’s going on?
I ask Michi
It’s considered to be a vicious performance if you give flowers to Ruriko-sama.
.Hmm
When you try to give the granddaughter of KouzukiKakkaflowers in public.you’ll likely to be resented and envied from the shadows. Therefore.it has become an untold agreement that nobody would give Ruriko-san flowers. .But. Is this okay? Will it benefit Ruriko-san to have such strange special treatment? Even though Ruriko-san danced with all her best. Not only applause from far away.shouldn’t you deliver your feelings properly? .I!
.Ruriko-chaan! That was awesome!
I stand up from my seat and shouted loudly.
This might be vulgar. This might be foolish. But, I didn’t think of those.
Hey, stop that. That’s disgraceful
Yukino tries to stop me but.
Like hell I care!
.That was very beautifuul!
I applaud Ruriko-san loudly while standing up.
I might be picked up by the guards. But.I had to do something. Ruriko-san makes a surprised face. The audience also fell silent in an instant from my barbaric act.
.Bravo! Bravoo! Ruriko-saan!
Nei-san followed me and stood up clapping her hands.
She understands my feelings.
.Ruriko-saan! That was so cool!
Following.Mana gets up and clapped her hands.
.That was wonderful!
Megu stands up.
.That was satisfying!
Michi too.
If I was alone, it would only look like a mischievous kid’s prank but. When everyone stands up.it’ll become a standing ovation.
BRAVO!!!
Margo-san stood up shouting in English!
Minaho-neesan and others know that they can’t move because there are the guests ofKuromorihaving eyes on them. Yukino.she shows a face of giving up. .then.
OH!BRAVO!BRAVO
A foreigner’s voice comes from a place different from us.
Looking at it.in the middle of the seats where foreigners gather, one white man gives a standing ovation. Perhaps.it’s someone from American government who came to see today’s performance. It seems he responded to Margo-san’sBRAVO Immediately after.the surrounding Americans stood up and applauds too.
.BRAVO!!!
After that, the atmosphere of the hall has changed.
The ordinary Japanese crowds stand up and give Ruriko-san an applause too. Lastly.even KouzukiKakka Of course, the elite group behindKakkareads the atmosphere and stood up as well. Finally.the whole venue storm up with a standing ovation. Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa and Mao-chan too are also clapping their hands. Yukino’s the only one sitting. Also.the three guards ofKakka. Ruriko-san seems to be embarrassed at the start but she soon calmed down and expressed her gratitude.
.Master, please seat down before others
Michi told me.
