Whatever happens.I know that she intends to be by my side. Nadeshiko-sensei.
Misuzu-san.the wafuku’s kimono is structured to envelop the human body, isn’t it?
.Yes?
Misuzu’s puzzled from the sudden words of the headmaster.
When dancing, the dancer gets distracted by the state of their bodies but.the guests can only see the body line of the dancer wearing the Kimono
The headmaster smiles.
Therefore.try to devise and dance showing the kimono line clearly. Then.concentrate on the thumb of your foot when turning. Think of it as an axis.
.Nadeshiko-sensei There’s no need to stop.let’s see. Suppose that happens, you can pay for the tuition when you succeed in life. From now on, come to practice like usual. You have danced so much already, it would be a waste to stop Nadeshiko-sensei said.
thank you very much
Misuzu’s moved.
Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san.Manami-san too
You.what’s your name?
The headmaster looks at me.
.Kuromori
I have no choice but to answer that
Please help Misuzu-san okay.
Yes, I’ll make her happy!
At that moment.it seems that setting the stage has finished.
Then.I’ll be going
Watching the young disciples.Nadeshiko-sensei heads to the stage.
Chapter 237
Nadishiko-sensei.has given me the oral tradition
Misuzu’s having tears in her eyes.
What do you mean?
I asked.
In the Japanese traditional dance, there’s no such thing as manual or instruction book. Everything that’s important is taught by the master to her disciple.directly by word of mouth
In the current situation where Misuzu might be chased out by Kouzuki house and have to quit the headmaster’s class.
And yet, Nadeshiko-sensei gave Misuzu the oral tradition.
Isn’t that great.Onee-sama. Nadeshiko-sensei has recognized Onee-sama as her disciple
Ruriko-san said.
Misuzu’s no longer a student on the classroom for the children of political and business bigshots. She’s officially recognized as a disciple of Nadeshiko-sensei. Therefore, she said that she can pay her tuition when she succeed in life. She’ll teach Misuzu after this regardless of her relation with Kouzuki house.
Danna-sama.I!
Misuzu cries in my chest.
It was conveyed to Nadeshiko-sensei that Misuzu worked her hardest
Misuzu nods.
To be honest.I’m a bit envious. Right, Yoshiko?
Yes.Ruriko-sama
The master and theattendantthree years older smiles at each other.
Both of them are smiling for Misuzu.
Here.don’t cry. Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance is starting
Misuzu.
Yes! Danna-sama!
She looks up at me with her moist eyes
.It seems that the stage is prepared Konpeki school headmaster – Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance begins.
.!
From the moment the lute sounds.sensei lifts her face.
I feel my body pierced. No, it’s not just me.’ The entire hall shook from every stroke of Nadeshiko-sensei. .what’s this? Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance changed to a young maiden’s dance. She looks like a teenage girl. An innocent girl who doesn’t know love. Behavior.movement.and her heart. It has become a young maiden. The girl soon.discovers love A shy gesture. Eyes yearning for a man. Then the girl is also stared by the man she loves. From there, she immediately became amother From a small child to a young mother That amorousness. The glamour.and her affection for her child. The love for her husband The mind and body at the prime of womanhood dances beautifully. Then light narrows from there. In accordance to the change of light.the woman turns old. The old lady staring at her grandchild dearly. She would like to play with her grandchild but the old lady can’t catch up the movement of the grandchild running around her. The old lady stops and puts her hand on her waist. She recollects her past days. When she was still young, a small girl. .Then. The olod lady turns back to a girl again. Returning to the innocent bright girl, dancing.dancing. Then, climax. At the moment the lute’s sound stopped.
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.
