98. Dance Party Rhapsody (Part I)
After the training of the wind club, Kamigawa High School fell into complete silence.
Yotsuya Station is a very important platform in Tokyo, with four lines passing through, but it is very green. On the way to the Human Observation Department's activity classroom, you can even hear frogs chirping in the distance.
The three of them sat around a beech table.
"The most recent dance party," Rin Kiyono thought for a moment, "if I'm not mistaken, it should be the one the day after tomorrow." β
"Isn't that just today and tomorrow? Is it too late? Toru Watanabe worried.
"It's just a regular ball, and the etiquette doesn't need to be perfect. Even," Rin Kiyono laughed, "You can stay in the corner with me and eat." β
"It's not impossible, but are you willing to take responsibility for calming Kujou Miki's anger?"
Rin Kiyono sneered, "Why should I accommodate her? β
"Then I can't help it, I actually want to be your eating friend...... Wait, you're at the prom too? β
Rin Kiyono sighed very helplessly, although she still straightened her back, she felt a little tired.
It seems that this eldest lady is not easy - it may also be because of the orchestra department, which has caused her to be physically and mentally exhausted for a long time.
Rin Kiyono didn't complain about his own affairs, and continued to say to Toru Watanabe, "Two days should be enough, as long as you don't only read books and play the oboe." β
"You're underestimating me." Toru Watanabe confidently said, "I can easily do anything if I want to." β
The corners of Kiyono Rin's mouth raised a contemptuous arc: "Don't lie?" β
"......" Toru Watanabe was speechless, "Kiyono-san, I must clarify one fact: lies are not as vicious and unforgivable as you think. β
After talking about the point, based on the idea of writing essays in his previous life, Toru Watanabe naturally began to give examples.
"For example, a beautiful young girl ran in front of me, and then a thug came from behind me and asked me which way the girl was running, and I told him that the girl was running in the opposite direction. You see, the lies at this time are so noble and lovely, full of a sense of justice, that the government can even award me a certificate of merit for righteousness and bravery. β
"Regardless of the examples you gave and the fact that there are many other ways not to lie, I admit that it is unrealistic for the average person to try to not lie at all." Rin Kiyono nodded.
"Look."
"But," Rin Kiyono stared at him with a puzzled expression, "What about people who often lie in their daily lives, even in love?" β
β...... You're just talking about me, aren't you? β
"That's right." There was undisguised smugness in Rin's smile.
"We're not debating whether or not lies have a ...... to exist."
"Both!" Hanada Asako suddenly spoke and loudly interrupted Toru Watanabe.
Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono were taken aback.
"Is there any problem, Hanada-senpai?" Rin Kiyono asked.
"You two," Hanada Asako grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and glared at the two of them like rabbits, "Sure enough, you're doing something sorry for Kujo-san!" β
Rin Kiyono opened her mouth, surprised and didn't know what to say.
"This is the end of the debate." Toru Watanabe also couldn't understand the idea of this emotional cleanliness, but he wasn't interested, "Let's start teaching, Kiyono-sensei." β
Rin Kiyono hugged his arms: "Let me train you well." β
β...... Suddenly it feels like you're a little scary. β
Rin Kiyono smiled gloomily, "Because your words make me feel very unhappy. β
How is it as twisted as Miki Kujou?
"Kiyono Sena!" In order to interrupt the two to continue chatting, Asako Hanada even revealed the identity of the senior sister.
"Well, I see."
Seeing Rin Kiyono acting like accommodating a child, Toru Watanabe couldn't help but laugh, but in order not to get a blank eye, he tried his best to vent his laughter with the sound of his breathing.
After chatting for a while, the topic finally got back on track.
"Etiquette and dancing, I don't think these two things are the most important things."
"Hmm...... Go on. β
"Is this the tone of the counselor, Watanabe-san?"
"I'm sorry, I have a problem with my attitude. Please continue, Kiyono-sensei. Toru Watanabe bent down and performed what appeared to be a gentleman's salute in a TV series.
Kiyono Rin nodded: "I didn't expect you to have talent in this, then I ...... the teacher"
"You two! Enough is enough! Hanada Asako teary-eyed, "If I don't come today, you're completely playing a teacher-student game!" β
Toru Watanabe: "??? β
Rin Kiyono put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Watanabe-san, I think the first thing you need to guide is mentality. Legally, there is no difference in people's status, but in the economy, there will be classes, and you, who are already high school students, should be able to understand what I mean, right? β
"When the time comes, someone will use power and money to make me ugly?" Toru Watanabe is now in a state of being checkmate by the rights of Kujo's family wealth.
"There are many reckless and stupid people in this world, but they will not appear at the dance the day after tomorrow."
"How can you be sure?"
"Even if there is, it won't show it."
"But I've seen a lot of ...... Well, you go ahead. β
Rin Kiyono put away her cold eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose with a painful twist.
"In reality, the so-called upper-class people are more insidious than the characters in it, and they will only use means behind their backs if they don't like people. What I really mean by mindset most importantly is that you don't have a mentality that they are out of reach. β
"Out of reach?"
Toru Watanabe thinks he has a good mentality.
Without the pride of a traverser, the pretentiousness of being a system player, and even being low-key and humble, but he is never so humble as to think that someone can keep him out of reach.
Temporarily succumbed to Kujo Miki, also because of the consideration of his parents, who raised him for sixteen years and had been a farmer for most of his life.
"Money and status aside, seeing them wearing expensive and beautiful dresses, ordinary people generally feel that the other party is out of reach." Rin Kiyono suddenly lowered his head and pondered, "That's right, you behaved very naturally at the tea party last time, so it seems that you don't need to care about this step." β
"That's easy." Her expression relaxed slightly, "If you don't think highly of each other mentally, your behavior will be very natural, as long as you don't dance suddenly or whistle." After all, it's not a particularly serious occasion. β
"You don't need to go into such detail, do you? And what's wrong? World-class music! Toru Watanabe was unconvinced and fought for the two.
"Not much, it's just that the upper class people look down on it." Rin Kiyono ignored Toru Watanabe's displeasure, "Alright, now stand up straight and do as I say." β
There was nothing to say about the standing posture, and Rin Kiyono just said a few words to make Toru Watanabe change his habit of wanting to yawn when he was bored.
"The upper class is really anti-human." Toru Watanabe said sarcastically with a pun.
"I don't deny it." Kiyono Rin nodded, "It's enough for you to imitate table manners, although there are also very impolite places in it, but now many rich people with a long history, such as your Kujou Mihime, only follow some simple etiquette, and those that are too cumbersome have been eliminated." β
"Then I'll go back and take a closer look."
"Next, master the dance steps. Before attending the prom, you must learn some of the classic dance steps commonly used at the prom, such as the waltz. Considering that your girlfriend may deliberately make things difficult for you, it is best to also practice the basics of dance steps such as tango, samba, rumba, salsa, foxtrot, etc. β
"So much?" Toru Watanabe was surprised, "When I watch TV, don't I just hold my waist, hold my hand, and take two steps?" β
Rin Kiyono gave him a blank look, and for a while, for a while, for a TV series, she really had nothing to say to Toru Watanabe.
It's like a patient saying to a doctor: I can't find this disease online, you won't misdiagnose it, right?
She said angrily: "Instead of talking nonsense there, it's better to start practicing immediately." Raise your hand! β
"Yes!"
They practiced until eleven o'clock, and then the three went home.
The next morning, Toru Watanabe meets Rin Kiyono at the shoe closet, and she hands him a booklet.
"What is this?"
Rin Kiyono yawned restrainedly: "Take it down." β
Toru Watanabe opened it, and there were a lot of precautions written about prom etiquette.
For example, before eating, greet the host of the ball, hold a drink in your left hand, remember to put the shared utensils back in place after selecting food, put up to four items of food on the plate, and wipe your mouth with a napkin after eating......
"Why is it all about eating?"
"There are other rules for inviting dance partners."
"Thank you."
Rin Kiyono was about to say something, but she couldn't help but open her pink lips and yawn again.
Toru Watanabe's heart was full of gratitude, so he said, "Kiyono-san, your lazy appearance is also unique, and it is ...... cute."
"You don't have to talk about it." Rin Kiyono waved his hand in disgust.
ββ¦β¦β
Taking advantage of the teacher's time to analyze the final exam papers, Toru Watanabe memorized all the pamphlets that Rin Kiyono gave him.
However, just memorizing it does not necessarily guarantee that it will be able to be done at tomorrow's ball.
After all, if you remember that you won't make mistakes, the current civilization of mankind has at least gone out of the solar system.
The dance steps are also unsatisfactory, because there are many things to learn, and each one can only know how to dance.
Toru Watanabe was ready to step on Mihime's feet.
In the blink of an eye, on the day of the prom, after listening to the principal's speech in the gymnasium, after the cleaning, the summer vacation began.
While the other students were immersed in a happy atmosphere, Toru Watanabe followed Miki Kujo to her cottage in Chiyoda with a sense of unease.
"The clothes are ready for you, go change them." Miki Kujou pointed to a room.
"That, Mihime," Toru Watanabe hesitated, "in case, I mean, in case, I step on you while I'm dancing, will you squeeze me dry?" β
"Hmm-" Miki Kujou held her arm in one hand and stroked her chin with the other, pretending to think, "It mainly depends on my mood." Be in a good mood and make you comfortable; If you're in a bad mood, you'll be comfortable to death. β
"I found you very literate!"
Faced with Toru Watanabe's clumsy sycophancy, Miki Kujou said with a smile, "There is nothing that makes me feel bad more than being ugly." β
"Uh......"
"Looking forward to your performance."
In front of the full-length mirror, Toru Watanabe straightened his cuffs.
The young man in the mirror is handsome and tall, but his brows are furrowed and his expression is serious, as if he is thinking about something important.
After arranging the bow, Toru Watanabe walked out of the room and walked towards Miki Kujo's room.
He had to confirm it again.
This time, no one ran out to stop him, and Toru Watanabe smoothly walked into Miki Kujo's room.
"Just in time, come here." Kujou Miki commanded in front of the mirror without looking back.
She wore a burgundy long-sleeved shirt with very beautiful and fussy folds at the chest and cuffs;
The shirt was tucked into a very exaggerated and extravagant black dress, the hem of which was fluffy and bulging, swaying lightly with the writhing of the owner;
The long black skirt with a belt, as wide as Toru Watanabe's palm, tightly cinched the waist of the nine mihimes, and perfectly outlined the straightness of her breasts.
Burgundy, black, and her snow-white skin, the whole person is like a bewitching black rose blooming.
Only then did Toru Watanabe realize what Rin Kiyono meant when he said 'out of reach', and it was indeed difficult for normal people not to have an inferiority complex when they saw such exaggerated and beautiful clothes and people.
Kujou Miki was adjusting the position of the black dress, and she didn't wait for Toru Watanabe to come over for a long time, and she was angry, but when she looked up in the mirror, Toru Watanabe was standing there staring at her.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"If you behave well today, I'll wear this outfit and reward you for ten minutes."
"Really? Uh-huh, what to say! β
"Don't you want to?" Kujou Mihime's tone was ambiguous, and her hand gently brushed her bulging breasts, slender waist.
"Whatever performance is good or not, I can play whenever I want!" Toru Watanabe had a big word in his mouth, but he just wrapped his hand around her thin waist from behind.
After getting started, I really knew how wonderful her body was.
Kujou Miki smirked disdainfully and handed him a black string: "Tie me a bow." β
Out of male instinct, Toru Watanabe was a little reluctant to let go of her waist.
He walked over to the front of Miki Kujo, first put up the collar of her burgundy shirt, spared the black rope, and then clumsily tied a bow on his hands and feet.
"Alright." Watanabe breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a sweet neck, and he had to work very hard to resist the urge to strangle it with a rope or bite it with his mouth.
Kujou Miki reached out and grabbed Toru Watanabe's wrist, buttoned the silver cuffs again, and helped him straighten his neckline.
"Mei Ji, I will discuss something with you."
"Say."
"If I behave well, don't be rewarded, and if I behave badly, can I not be punished?"
"Nope." Miki Kujou patted Toru Watanabe's chest, "I'm looking forward to tonight." It doesn't matter if you're doing well or badly. β
Compared to her happy expression, Toru Watanabe's face was ugly.
"Don't keep your face down, I allow you to laugh tonight."
Toru Watanabe showed a reluctant smile, and Miki Kujo nodded in satisfaction.
After changing their clothes, the two went to the dance site. Toru Watanabe felt unwell in the car, and his hands were slightly numb.
One is because of the dress suit that I am not used to, and the other is because of what Kujo Miki just said.
She said it in a flirtatious tone between lovers, but Toru Watanabe will not forget her true face as cruel as a witch.
Through the car window, you can see the embassies of various countries, and it seems that today's dance will be held in Minato-ku.
As there were more and more luxury cars and the speed of the car began to slow down, Toru Watanabe confirmed to Miki Kujo again.
"Is the fool really going to drain me?"
"Die, it's not negotiable."
β...... In that case, I had no choice but to choose the reward. β
Toru Watanabe straightened out his suit jacket, got up and got out of the car first, and then reached out to Miki Kujo in the car.
Q: How can I not make a fool of myself at the prom?
A: It's very simple, just become a god of the new worldβso handsome that you will be forgiven for whatever you do.
'Redeem the charm. β
"Are you quite confident?"
βIβmthekingoftheworldγβ
Toru Watanabe is full of unrivaled confidence.
Just like the sun that has now sunset, no one can stop it from rising the next day - that is that confidence.
Kujou Miki leaned up on the swan's neck, put her hand on his, and got out of the car gracefully.
"I'm the queen. And you can only be a prince. β
β...... Of course. β
Miki Kujou smiled and hooked Toru Watanabe's arm.
Before entering the venue, at the entrance of this ball, the two have become the focus of the audience.
