Let’s go to the side together

Got it

Misuzu pulled my hand and we went to the stage side.

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san too. After we left, the stage assistants prepare for the next dance in panic. The next dancer.the granddaughter of the headmaster, Manami-san’s already in standby.

I’m sorry, Manami-san.I’ve disturbed the atmosphere

Misuzu apologizes to Manami-san.

It’s okay.please don’t mind it

Even though it’s her turn.Manami-san smiled at us with a soft expression.

Rather than that.I’m moved. Your beloved has come and you jumped on his chest. I envy you. Misuzu-san, please be happy!

.Manami-san?

Manami also can’t decide her own marriage partner on her own.

.I see. Her too.

She’s forced to marry against her will for the sake of Konpeki school?

Don’t assume that it is your fate.

Misuzu said.

I’ve always thought of the same thing. That I have no choice but to live in the condition set by my Grandfather. But, I’m mistaken

Misuzu’s seriousness is being conveyed to Manami-san.

On the side, Ruriko-san is listening to the conversation of the two.

Then.I can’t be happy

Misuzu’s happiness.

Even if the house is peaceful.I.there’s no meaning if I’m not happy. We are all born to be happy after all

.Misuzu.

Therefore.love and courage. If you have to se two, no matter what happens, you’ll be able to live happily!

Manami-san’s body trembles.

You’re right, Misuzu-san.I must not just arbitrarily decide that the it’s inevitable because it’s my fate

Manami-san smiles.

Love and courage to be happy.Manami has learned something. Thank you very much

Manami-san shows a refreshed look.Ruriko-san’s face isn’t clear.

Manami-san.please

The stage assistant talks to Manami-san.

Yes.I’m coming right away!

Manami-san turned back to Misuzu and Ruriko-san.

I’m going.Manami will dance with her best. With love and courage!

Then.Manami-san heads to the stage.

We watch Manami-san’s dance from the stage side.

Then.everything has gone away. At the moment she started dancing.she grasped the hear of the audience. After thirty seconds.everyone’s concentrated on Manami-san’s dance. Nobody’s thinking about Misuzu and me anymore. No.they can’t think. The dance of the future head.is on a completely different level from the disciples of the class. Until earlier, I thought that I can see the person’s nature by watching their dance. Every Japanese traditional dance has it’s own story. The dancer is playing the character in the story. Even though they should be dancing as someone not themselves. For some reason, you could see through the dancer. Yoshiko-san’s dance.and the current Yoshiko-san. Ruriko-san and the current Ruriko-san Misuzu’s dance and the current Misuzu’s mind and body. They’re exposed. The more they perform.as if taking of their clothing piece by piece. The mind and body of the dancer has become naked. As for Misuzu’s dance.I see a naked Misuzu. Therefore.I thought that she’s expressing her naked mind and body. But.looking at Manami-san’s dance. That thought of mine is a mistake.

Our dance only passes as an amateur’s practice.

Misuzu mutters.

Manami-san will become a first class Japanese dancer.

Manami-san on the stage.

She’s completely nude at once. After revealing Manami-san’s nature. She has dressed as the person in the story expressed by dancing.

Everyone’s wearingclotheson top of their true nature

Misuzu said.

On their naked self.they wear clothes that wouldmake them dominate sociallyorI’d like to look good in front of everyoneso they wearclothesto hide their heart. Dressing up that way.it’s our usual appearance of concealing our true self .Un

When trying to express something.the fakeclothesget in the way. Wearing those clothes for your daily life, you become a creature that must act one’s expression on top of wearingclothes But, just by wearing it.you can’t express yourself freely anymore While Manami’s dancing seriously.Ruriko-san’s also listening to Misuzu’s talk.

Therefore.the headmaster told usWhen you’re dancing, you must release your mind and body first. You should take off all of the fake clothing you usually wear

You can see it well when you’re watching from the stage side.

Manami-san’s completely holding the atmosphere of the theater. Manami-san’sQi.and all of the audience have theirQiconcentrate and matches with Manami-san. The weight of the stage is equal to the weigh of the audience. The dance of the girl swallows hearts of this many people.

We’re still inexperienced.our hands are already filled by just taking it off. But, Manami-san’s a genuine dancer.she can take everything off, get naked.and wear the clothesof the person she has to act!

That’s right.

The dancing Manami-san right now can’t be seen as Manami-san at all. I can only think of her as a completely different person from the one we talked to just a while ago. No.she’s not a girl living in the modern day Japan. The story of the dance.is a woman living in the ancient era. A very attractive person from the first time you see her. It’s not Manami-san.it’s a charming woman dancing on the stage.

I also want to dance like that

Ruriko-san said

I want to become.not myself

.Oh

As expected. She’s suffering from the life forced to be the daughter of Kouzuki house. Just like the former Misuzu

.It depends on Ruriko-san

Misuzu said.

I have changed. No.nothing has essentially changed. I have taken off my falseclothing.and Danna-sama has accepted the naked Misuzu

Misuzu said.Ruriko-san turns around

I’m always naked in front of Danna-sama. It feels very pleasant. I won’t let go!

Misuzu cuddles to me.

And.Danna-sama as well. Danna-sama is someone who’s always naked in front of anyone at anytime. I love that part of him!

Misuzu rubs her cheeks on my chest.

Ruriko-san didn’t reply. Her face shows she’s thinking. After that, she returned her eyes to Manami-san’s dance. Manami-san’s expressive dance that goes beyond space and time continues .Before long. Just like the flow of water. Without any stagnation.Manami-san’s dance ended. At the moment Manami-san bows to give thanks. The hall was filled with thunderous applause. .Un The event with Misuzu and me was completely blown away. Manami-san’s has small children bringing her bouquet. Since young men didn’t come.she’s on the same situation as Misuzu and Ruriko-san, she’s not allowed to freely mingle with men. Holding the bouquet, Manami-san once again thanked the audience. A big applause happens in the theater again. Pushed by the cheers.Manami-san comes back to the stage side.

That was wonderful.Manami-san

Misuzu praises Manami-san.

It’s love and courage.Misuzu-san’s words has cut off something

She said and laughed

You danced carefree more than usual. It was a good dance but don’t be conceited

Turning back tot he voice.The headmaster of Konpeki school, Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei stands wearing her costume.

Right, for the conclusion of today’s event. The head will be dancing after this

Yes.grandmother

Manami-san lowers her head to her grandmother

.Nadeshiko-sensei. I’m very sorry for making a fuss

Misuzu apologizes to the headmaster.

My.did anything happen?

Nadeshiko-sensei plays dumb

I might not be able to attend the class anymore.

.Misuzu

She’s prepared to be chased out of Kouzuki house after invokingKakka’swrath. I hold Misuzu’s hand softly

Thank you for everything up until now. I won’t forget Sensei’s kindness

Misuzu’s not thinking about the possibility that I’ll be forcibly separated from her byKakka
