The girl returns to the old lady.

She thanked the audience as an old lady. Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance ends. The reverberation of the dance is too impressive. The hall was silent.

BRAVO!!!

The guest from US first stands up and gives a standing ovation!

The other spectators back up that voice. The grand applause and cheer wrap the theater A lot of children.and adults alike. They show up under the stage holding a bouquet. Nadeshiko-sensei smiles and accept all of the bouquets. She entrusted the bouquet she can’t hold to her disciples. Nadeshiko-sensei receives the flowers from each and every one personally. .It’s the opposite of Misuzu and Ruriko-san. Nadeshiko-sensei receives the flowers from the guests equally. She accepted all of the flowers.

Thank you.Makie-chan

Thank you, Yoshikawa-san. It’s been a while Thank you, Tano-san. Are you doing well? Thank you for every year. Kawasaki-san

She surely say something with a smile.

That is the person that stands on the school.the duty of the headmaster. When the bouquet presentation was over.the stage assistant handed the headmaster a microphone.

Everyone.thank you very much for watching till the very end

Nadeshiko-sensei bows her head and another big applause occurs.

This gathering is a presentation of my students. To be honest, for someone with my age, I’m no match against their young one’s vigor and greatness

Nadeshiko-sensei said with a smile.

In a normal dance, an old woman like me forces to dress young and dance but, everyone’s saying praises such asthe elders are always working very hard. It went wellhowever.this gathering is a place where genuine young girls work so hard to show their achievements to everyone, my usualdressing youngerloses to them. Therefore, every year, we show off a dance with a different taste than usual .We look forward for that every year!

A voice of an elder comes from the second floor seat.

Thank you for each and every year.

The audience applauds at the headmaster’s words.

A year period seems long but it’s over in an instant. The children are progressing very well. The children who performed their dance in front of everyone.next year, they’ll practice even more and will become a dancer who’ll make a big progress

I look at Misuzu.

Huh, the performers today won’t go up the stage to make a greeting?

Normally, isn’t that how you end the show?

Well.there are girls who have returned home already.

.whut?

The elementary school girls who came out first.when their turn is done, their family will pick them up and go out for a family dinner

Not watching the other’s dance at all?

They’re not interested in anyone but their own grandchild

Oh.so the rich people in the upper class

are that kind of people.

Of course, most of the girls remain in the end but there’s also a party that doubles a social gathering

But.if the performers are incomplete, the last greeting would be impossible.

RatherWhy is this girl not in there?.and it’ll be discovered. Rumors likeThat house is impoliteand it might develop into some strange opposition between houses.

The headmaster’s work is really hard

Yes

Misuzu answers.

.Then, see you next year. Please look forward to the further growth of the children. Thank you for coming today!

Nadeshiko-sensei bows to the crowd!

Thunderous applause comes from the audience seats. The stage curtain comes down. The headmaster keeps her bow until the curtains close down completely. When the curtain closed and the applause quiets down.she raised her face. She speaks to the staff with a smiling face.

Good job everyone

Today’s performers gather around the headmaster.

Girls who are still in their costume and girls who have changed their clothes as well. There’s also a girl who’s halfway in changing her clothes.having only make-up on her face.

Thanks for the hard work.Sensei

Thank you very much.Sensei

Diligent girls are in here as well.

They’re all not a child of an egoistic parent.

Yes, cheers for today. The staff will be cleaning up in here. It’s dangerous so let’s go back to the dressing room so you won’t get in the way of the men’s work

Saying that.the girls head to their dressing room.

On the way, she turned to us and smiled. We bow our heads.

She’s really a good person

She’s our teacher after all!

.Now then

Now that the curtains have fallen.the assistants comes to clean up things. Organizing props.removing the sleeve curtain. Extracting the color filter from the backdrop lights. We would just hinder them by staying here. For the time being.we go to the stage side where there’s no people.

.Thanks for the hard work today. Ruriko-san. Yoshiko-san

Misuzu thanks her cousin and it’sattendantonce again.

Thanks for the hard work. Misuzu-oneesama

Thanks for the hard work. Misuzu-sama

Both of them returned their greetings.

Today’s symposium was wonderful.I was able to get along with Onee-sama

Ruriko-san said.

Onii-sama.thanks for the flower

She also smiled at me.

There’s two roses from Ruriko-san’s hand.

Yoshiko.I want to keep this flower as a dry flower

That’s a good idea

I’m glad she’s that pleased.

.Now then,.

Misuzu.I should go back to the audience soon

Misuzu and Ruriko-san’s are still in their stage costumes.

Their faces are still white with make-up They’re going to fix in the dressing room. I’d be in the way. I’m worried about everyone in the audience too.

Danna-sama.it’s impossible right now

Misuzu speaks strongly.

That’s right! Onii-sama!

Ruriko-san too.

Eh.why?

Or rather.what impossible?

There are still some guests remaining.if you go back to the audience seat right now, Danna-sama will gather a lot of attention!

.Right

I started the standing ovation on Ruriko-san’s dance. I even handed a bouquet on Misuzu who’s not supposed to be given flowers.on top of that Misuzu embraced me and we disappeared on the side. Everyone wants to know my true identity. No, there would be some who’d like to kill me. Especially Misuzu’s fiance.

I think you should stay in our dressing room for a while

Misuzu proposed.

But.you three have to change, right?

Misuzu aside.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san must hate to have a man in their dressing room.

My, I don’t mind

.Ruriko-san

Kuromori-sama is Onii-sama.it’s a bit embarrassing but I don’t mind. Right, Yoshiko?

Yes. Kuromori-sama is someone Misuzu-sama trusts.so we do trust you

I’d be troubled if you trust me like that.

Well, if they tell me to close my eyes, I’ll just do that.
