Chapter 118 – Intimate and Meticulous Teaching

The pressure seemed to come to Aoi Natsuki’s side, but at this point, looking at his demeanor he didn’t show an ounce of urgency, and his afterglow met with Sakurajima, then he picked up the drink cup on the table and pursed the straw to take a sip.

But how long could such behavior be delayed, with several of the girls’ attention already falling on him, Sakurajima Apricot spared a thought to find out just what Aoi would be doing.

He put down his drink and pulled out his cell phone, then let out a soft “Oh” as he turned to look at the front of the store, “Already at the door.”

Doorway?

The girls were looking at the door again.

At this time, the wooden door was pushed open a little bit by a body distance, a familiar figure came in among the others, and after finding Aoi Natsuki’s position in the next second, he immediately raised his right hand, and his whole body jumped gently, “Guys!!!”

“Ayano?!” Takahashi Mito exclaimed.

That’s right, because after inviting Ryuusakura, Aoi Natsuki suddenly felt that he should also ask Ayano to come along, and he didn’t expect that she would even become his savior in relieving himself of the situation, so I should really say that it’s hard to tell what’s going on in the world.

“Yo.” Natsuki Aoi raised her hand in greeting.

Takahashi Ayano smelled the odor and her stomach started growling all of a sudden, her pace was agile and she quickly came to the table of a few people, looking at the table full of barbecue skewers, she gulped down a mouthful of water and immediately sat down in the middle of Hayakawa and Takahashi Mito, so it was good to see that no one was alone.

“Thanks! Lately I’ve been keeping in shape so I don’t even dare to eat fried and grilled things, today will be a cheat meal once in January, I have to make it up to myself!” At this moment, Takahashi Ayano worshiped Natsuki as if she were a god with her hands folded together, usually eating vegetable leaves all the time, she felt like she was turning into a rabbit.

“It’s fine, go ahead and eat, here, I just grilled this skewer, here.” Aoi Natsuki handed her the grilled chicken skewer on her plate.

Takahashi Ayano looked at him in a touched manner and stammered under her breath, “Natsuki~”

A big bite followed.

“Everyone also don’t move, quickly start eating.” Aoi Natsuki picked up a bunch of corn kernels herself, and the entire table had to start eating at that, and the atmosphere just now was steeply broken.

Sakurajima Apricot found this interesting, and in her heart, her opinion of Aoi grew higher and higher, her right cheek resting on her palm, gazing at him quietly with her head turned sideways, her heart again not knowing what she was thinking.

……

Day two.

Aoi Natsuki is finally in the school bulletin board to learn about the senior party, many students also heard for the first time, but see is to dance social dance, many students are eyes are shining, the interaction between male and female students campus activities are not many, every time can provoke a wave of not a small trend.

The results of the final exams are completely behind us, and now every student we see when we pass through the hallways has their own little agenda on their mind.

In the third period of the afternoon, Aoi Natsuki came to the activity classroom of the Exploration Club as promised.

Hayakawa and Takahashi were already waiting in the classroom.

Apricot Sakurajima sat in the seat against the corner, crossing her legs and gently bobbing her left toe up and down to the beat of her right heel.

The moment he saw Natsuki Aoi, the movement came to an abrupt halt.

Standing up, he looked at him with a grin.

Still the same look of impenetrability.

“Where’s Dragon Sakura?”

“She said she’d be there soon.”

Aoi Natsuki nodded, at this moment, the window and door of the activity classroom was wide open, the wind blew in driving the curtains, for a moment he had an illusion in his heart, it couldn’t be that Ryuusakura would jump in through the window, right? This is the third floor ah! But stepping on the air conditioner’s outer unit and climbing up a little bit seems to be the right way for her to open it, right?

Another two minutes passed before the door to the activity classroom was opened and Yugiri Ryuzakura stepped through the front door.

Whew …… seems to be overthinking it.

“Then let us begin.” Aoi Natsuki said.

Several people moved a chair and sat down, listening to Sakurajima Apricot and Takahashi Mito’s explanation.

“The social dance is actually divided into many kinds, blues, waltz, tango, rumba, Latin, etc., the degree of difficulty are different, beginners, the pursuit of elegance, I would recommend the waltz, the overall ornamental stronger.”

Sakurajima Apricot then extended her hand to Takahashi, who was beside her.

Takahashi Mito froze and put a hand on it, after which the two of them took up a stance.

“Waltz both men and women should have their backs straight, the whole body of the person is mainly tensed, the left hand holds the right hand of the woman, while the right hand gently rests on the woman’s left pipa bone, while the woman puts her hand on the man’s elbow, and then the basics I’m going to demonstrate with Takahashi once.”

Sakurajima apricot finished then and Takahashi locked eyes, the two of them followed the start of the dance, even without the use of music, you can feel the rhythm from the two of them in the pace, the foot to foot cooperation is very smooth, there is no previous grinding can be to this extent, it seems that the previous practice time is not short.

Upon stopping, all three of those seated applauded.

It was the first time Ryuusakura had seen Waltz so close, and her eyes were filled with wonder.

“A school party would be relatively less difficult, and mastering a basic dance step would suffice; to begin with, everyone learns from the standing position, I think.”

Anyway, club activities are until the end of school, so there is plenty of time.

Under the guidance of both Sakurajima and Takahashi, the trio gradually got a bit of a look, only their arms were a bit sore from holding them up all the time.

Sakurajima Apricot faced Aoi, who was standing still, and her body met him, raising her head slightly, her lips just less than five centimeters away from his jaw, “Then let me teach you the basic dance steps.”

Her voice said especially softly, only Aoi Natsuki alone could hear it, followed by before he could react, her left hand lifted up to hold his right hand, her four fingers resting gently on his tiger’s mouth, the two of their bodies close together, unable to help but look into each other’s eyes.

At such a distance, Natsuki Arai could clearly hear her nostrils, flat and long.

“Is that right?”

The behavior of the two Aoi Natsuki quickly drew the attention of the others, and Takahashi Mito held Hayakawa’s hand and instructed him attentively when he realized that Sakurajima was already teaching Aoi the dance steps and moving so intimately!

Hayakawa turned his head and saw the scene, his face instantly roiling with shyness, but Natsuki seemed to be really learning the ropes.

Sakurajima apricot first to teach Aoi to follow the steps, the first few times would not control the distance well, accidentally stepped on her feet, Aoi Natsuki only remembered that he was constantly apologizing, but on the contrary, Sakurajima’s expression did not have any change, as if there was only one person in his eyes, as if he was the only person in his eyes, and it would always be the same bland sentence.

“Never mind.”

It was very different from her usual self, she was genuinely trying to teach herself, and Aoi Natsuki then became more serious.

Takahashi Mito had a displeased look on her face, but in her heart she abided by her earlier promise to Ayano not to lose her temper randomly again, so now she could only keep her emotions inside and swallow them hard, not even a small movement of secretly stomping her feet.

“After the posture and heel steps are somewhat basic, it’s the basic dance steps, I’m only teaching you two of them here, master them well and it’s totally more than enough to use them for this party.” Sakurajima Apricot stood still, and Aoi, who hadn’t braked, nearly fell on top of her.

“Can we get a heads up?”

The corners of Sakurajima’s mouth turned up without answering.

Then he continued to explain the dance steps, “First is the left-right and change step, on the basis of the heel step just now, follow the beat, step forward, right foot out, left foot step to the left as you follow, here pay attention to tiptoe, after that, the right leg and step.”

Sakurajima Apricot teaches very carefully, correcting some of Aoi Natsuki’s mistakes in a timely manner, and at this point after Takahashi has watched it for a while, he has to admit that Sakurajima’s level of play is indeed quite a bit higher than hers.

Aoi Natsuki now felt like a child still in Handan, his whole body was very stiff, and his many mistakes had made him nervous.

“Ease your mind and take your time.” Sakurajima Apricot said.

“The sense of rhythm here you are always following an ascending amplitude, starting with the outgoing leg, stepping to the left and starting again, and then finally the whole thing dropping down again after the end of the parallel step, and that’s why the waltz gives a sense of rhythmic movement in the senses.”

Sakurajima Apricot then gave him a lecture on right and left turns, which was obviously more difficult, but without talent, it was always right to work hard to make up for it, and since she was so serious about teaching herself, Aoi Natsuki was even more into it.

The party is a week away, so I’m sure more practice during this time will bear fruit.

After an hour and a half of training, Aoi Natsuki was panting heavily under her breath, while Sakurajima Apricot wasn’t much better, although she was very good at ballroom dancing, she was a bit weaker than the average girl in terms of stamina, it was really hard on her today, she hadn’t had a rest for such a long time.

“That’s enough for today, you should get some rest.” Aoi Natsuki said.

Sakurajima Apricot nodded, a drop of sweat slid down her cheeks all the way to her jaw, her long, arched eyelashes fluttered and fluttered, stained with a bit of sweat, and her whole look and feel inexplicably more lustful.

Afterward the whole body spun on a circle, and swaying with a feeble step to the table-top, the whole body lay down on the table-top, the exertion causing her chest to rise and fall continually up and down, and the high bulge of ……

“Ahhhhhh!” Seeing the situation, Takahashi Mito immediately covered Sakurajima’s upper body with her body, and her gaze immediately shot to Aoi Natsuki.

Aoi Natsuki naturally had the sense to look away.

All of today’s crowd had gained something, and Aoi Natsuki subconsciously opened Hayakawa’s data panel to look at it.

Specialties: 17 points in Cooking, 4 points in Fishing, 14 points in Sports & Projects, and 5 points in Comics.

(A total of 360 points is required for promotion to S-class, and the current total is 261 points.)”

The difference had moved to within a hundred points, and Natsuki Arai saw more hope.

There were no points on the dance specialty yet, but he was sure there would be soon.

“Don’t open the window yet, put your clothes on, it’s still less than five degrees outside.” Aoi Natsuki rested for a few moments, his condition returned a bit, after that, he took the first step to propose to go home, now that his parents are at home, cooking is on time, it’s better not to miss the meal time.

Takahashi looked at the time at that moment, it had been more than half an hour since the school bell rang, it was time to go back.

Ryuusakura’s ability to learn is very strong, the best of all, some down despite the intention to stop the action, pack up her things, to Takahashi and Sakurajima to express their gratitude to the people who practiced martial arts, must always keep an open mind to learn the heart.

Natsuki Aoi bids farewell to a few people and leaves the activity classroom, followed by Takahashi as well as Ryuusakura.

Only Hayakawa and the lying Sakurajima were left in the classroom.

“Sakurajima, aren’t you leaving yet?”

“……”

Seeing that she didn’t answer, with Hayakawa’s knowledge of her, he didn’t continue to ask, turned around, and walked towards the door.

“Hayakawa ……”

Sakurajima Apricot suddenly called her.

Hayakawa looked back, only to see that Sakurajima had switched to a side-lying position, raising his left arm and supporting his head, sweat still pouring down his cheeks.

“Do you have time to talk to me now?”

Keiko Hayakawa glanced at the time on her cell phone and thought about it before nodding her head in agreement and retracing her steps back to the table, “Is something the matter?”

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that I have some doubts in my heart that I want to answer through you here.” Sakurajima Apricot sat up, her cross-legged posture a bit domineering, and her eyes were even looking at her with some obsession-like.

“Well …… that, then you ask.”

Sakurajima apricot with fingertips pointing to the chin, then said, “since a long time ago I feel that you and Aoi’s relationship has been going for a long time, you often have go out to play together, to you Aoi to be more than to other people are more attentive, it is not difficult to see that he must be a little bit of the heart, and you, the same is like Aoi, in your home’s balcony you so loud to show their own feelings, but Why, you haven’t put it into action yet?”

“The action you’re talking about is ……”

“Confession.”

At the mention of that word, Keiko Hayakawa’s expression suddenly tightened, and her look became hesitant, as if she was recalling something.

There really is something in this that Sakurajima doesn’t know about!

“Is something wrong?” Sakurajima Apricot asked, slowly leading the way.

Hayakawa was silent for a moment and eventually told Sakurajima the truth, that there was about the very beginning when she had indicated that she liked him, and at that time, although Natsuki didn’t answer, the rejection was very obvious, so she hadn’t had any thoughts of confessing since then.

“Is it afraid of failure? What’s the matter, I’ve seen many men chasing women who failed at first, women chasing men failing once is nothing, you can still make another attempt.”

“No.” Hayakawa Keiko suddenly shook her head, followed by looking straight ahead, taking a deep breath and exhaling it gently as she continued, “The reason I didn’t confess wasn’t because I was afraid that Aoi would reject me again, it’s just that I wanted him to take the initiative to find me and confess.”

“Looking for a confession?”

“Well, I can feel his relationship with me is slowly pulling in, I’ve already made a decision in my heart, since I chose him, I have to believe in him unconditionally, until then I’m going to work hard to improve myself, work hard to improve my wardrobe, buy some skincare and maintenance products, work out more, have some hobbies of my own, I want to become a girl with a sparkle in Natsuki’s eyes, until that time. Let Natsuki confess to me, that’s my determination too!”

Hayakawa Keiko clenched her small fists, Sakurajima Apricot looked at the little girl in front of her, who was only five meters tall, and once again she felt that under Hayakawa’s shy character, hidden underneath was such a tough heart.

“Not passive pursuit, but efforts to improve themselves, active to attract each other well …… interesting.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Sakurajima Apricot’s mouth, after which she laid back down on the tabletop, her eyes closed tightly as she rested her eyes.

“I’ve asked what I wanted to know, so you go back too.”

“Then you …… “Hayakawa looked at her still fatigued state, and did not continue to ask, “Do not lie down for too long, you also go back early oh.”

With that, he grabbed his stuff and walked straight out of the activity room.
