I breath in deeply and breath out just as Michi told me.
There’s no problem.
Michi said
It’s Master’s Misuzu
My Misuzu
Misuzu-sama has really gotten stronger
1. Chuugoku is also read as China
2. Not that English readers will notice 3. Like fighting spiders with healthbars on top of their heads
Chapter 235
There’s a total of 50 performers coming from Konpeki school who will be dancing.it’s approaching climax soon
In the program, the last dancer would be Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance. Before that.Manami-san who’s the granddaughter of the headmaster. Since Manami-san is a candidate for the successor of Konpeki-style, the dance of the two are treated as an exception. In the sense of the presentation of the disciples who go to the dance class itself.there will be three last dancers after this. Yoshiko-san, Ruriko-san.and Misuzu. In short.the granddaughters of Kouzuki house will be presented to the leaders of government and financial circles gathering in the hall today.
Is Yoshiko-san a daughter from a noble family too?
I asked Michi.
Of course. She’s the daughter of Komori-sama.one of Kouzuki-sama’s aides
.What?
.There’s a rumor that he’s Kouzuki-sama’s child
Kakkahas raised Misuzu and Ruriko-san crookedly for his own pleasure.
From the time when they’re born until the two year age difference, that’s all instructed by Kakka Then.even theretainerYoshiko-san who’s been serving Ruriko-san since childhood must also have been born fromKakka’splan Yoshiko-san’s currently 18 years old, a third year high school student. Misuzu’s 17 years old, second year high school student. Ruriko’s 15 years old, third year middle school student.
.It’s starting
Megu whispers to me.
Then.first, Yoshiko-san’s dance begins. Yoshiko-san’s bathing in white light. The performance of the lute prosper the atmosphere
Wow.so gorgeous
Mana admires.
A katsura1 attached to her red kimono.Yoshiko-san’s face made white with make-up. The humbleattendantof Ruriko-san until a while ago, is now a completely different person. So she has this much presence. Normally.she’s trying to erase her presence in front of Ruriko-san as much as possible. That’s not Yoshiko’s deliberate behavior but.she has assumed it’s natural since childhood. She has acquired it habitually. Therefore.when Yoshiko-san dances in the stage alone, her original charm is exposed at once. Beautiful, good style, honest and serious.the ideal girl shows up.
.To dance is to act. If you act something, that person’s original figure will come to surface
Michi said.
.If you have a delicate personality, you’ll dance delicately. If you’re usually deceiving, you’ll only dance crudely in front of people A broad-minded one will dance greatly. Even if you have a good physique, if you’re narrow-minded, you’ll only make a small dance Dancing shows people’s heart.
The dance choreography is traditional so it hasn’t changed from long ago.and yet, the reason why there’s someone superior or inferior when dancing is because they have different minds
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.
