[Net King] The girl who clashes with the sun

When the curtain finally opened slowly, the host of this competition was already standing in the center of the stage in a neat suit.

Leaving aside the abstinent temperament brought by the suit, just the pretty handsome face alone caused a little commotion in the auditorium.

"I didn't expect to invite Yijian to be the host of this competition!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the cost of hosting a meeting in the valley is very high."

The sound of such a discussion from behind reached the Liangjing girl's ears verbatim.

See you in the valley?

After repeatedly filtering the name in my mind, I found that it sounded familiar.

Maybe I saw it on a show?

"I feel that the organizer of this competition is a bit big. Let alone the venue of the competition is Takarazuka, and the valley doesn't just invite you as soon as you see it." The people behind continued to forcefully explain.

"Could the organizer find some group as a sponsor?"

"Well... If this is the case, I guess it is the Atobe Foundation, and only the Atobe family can be so powerful, but how can the Atobe Foundation sponsor a dance competition? It hasn't happened before, right?"

The Liangjing girl felt that she was forced to listen to the babbling explanation with one ear, and listen to the opening remarks of the host on the stage with the other ear, which was really tiring.

It would be okay if the voice of the discussion later was a little lower, or it would be better if the distance was a little farther away. Unfortunately, the discussant was sitting right behind, and the voice inevitably made people a little distracted.

"Sorry, your voice may be a little loud."

Yukimura, who was sitting in the same row, suddenly spoke, causing the girl Ryoi who had been focusing on the stage to look at him.

Although he still had a gentle expression as usual, there was also a faint smile on his face.

But the Liangjing girl felt that something was different when she saw it.

She thought that if one day Yukimura showed this expression to her, she might not be able to say a word.

After this little episode, Liangjing girl was finally able to put all her attention on the stage.

"Okay, now please allow me to introduce this game!"

"First of all, welcome everyone to this future dancer contest hosted by the Atobe Foundation! Yes, the Atobe Foundation, the Atobe Foundation! Well, I have no other intentions, but I just think that the Atobe Foundation appears on the list of sponsors. After so many years of hosting experience, I need to tout it. After all, there may be a chance for a salary increase, don’t you think so? I hope the organizer who pays the salary can hear what I have to say hahaha.”

Liangjing girl seems to remember where she saw this host, which funny variety show should it be?The kind of show my mom watches at home all the time.

What he said next was a whole paragraph after paragraph about the selection rules of this competition, as well as the benefits after winning the prize and so on.

"The first group invites a player from Akiyama No. [-] High School——Takashimahara! And her partner!"

The host, wearing a neat suit, left the stage from the right side, and the lights gradually dimmed until it was completely dark.

After more than ten seconds of silence in the venue, a beam of light big enough to accommodate one person was suddenly lit in the middle, and under the light, there was a girl with a very delicate face crossed legs straight, standing on tiptoe under the light, as if Like a proud white swan.

As the music started, another beam of light illuminated another person on the stage.

It's a boy, doing an inviting gesture, raising one arm and pointing in the girl's direction.

There are only three designated tracks, namely - G'schichtenausdemWienerwald [Story Waltz from the Vienna Woods], MoonRiver [Moon River], Voices of Spring [Sound of Spring], all of which are waltzes without exception.

These are what Mei Mazi told herself.

She also proudly told Liang Jing that the track she chose was one of her favorite waltzes - Voices of Spring, so she must be able to perform well.

In the field of art, Liangjing girl has little knowledge of painting, music or dance.

She couldn't tell which designated track the people on the stage chose. She only knew that after several performances, no one chose the one by Miasako.

If it wasn't for the fear that she would miss Miasako's performance, the melodious dance music would have made her close her eyes long ago.

Yukimura, who was at the side, saw that the girl from Liangjing was sleepy, so he glanced at the match list that Liu had sent him earlier on his phone.

In order not to disturb other people watching the game, he leaned over and whispered softly, "The next group will be Jiang Quansang, bear with it."

The Liangjing girl who felt a trace of heat in her ears opened her eyes wide, and half of the drowsiness was instantly driven away.

He sat up straight unnaturally and nodded.

In the darkness, she raised her hand and touched her ear.

I don't know why, especially the earlobe, it's very hot.

The lights on the stage lightly shone on everyone's faces, when Yukimura saw the twinkling eyes of the Liangjing girl, he hooked the corners of his lips.

Hmm... how to say?

She looks shy and looks cuter than usual, doesn't she?

After another few minutes, Mimako finally appeared in the center of the stage in a water green tunic dress, and her partner was putting his right hand on her waist.

The two stood still, like puppets in a crystal ball waiting for their master to turn the spindle before they could dance.

Liangjing girl met her male partner several times when she went to the dance class to see Mimako.

On weekdays, he wears ugly training uniforms, but today he is wearing a white tuxedo and black pointed leather shoes, Liang Jing almost thinks that Miasako has changed his partner temporarily.

When the cheerful rhythm of the dance music sounded, the two danced on the stage in response.

I don't know if it's because I know them, but their dances attract my attention more than all the previous ones.

"What a nice view……"

Yukimura, who heard this exclamation, looked at Ryoi who was on the side. Her gaze at this time was a kind of pure appreciation, just like the last school dance.

At that time, she seemed to have stopped the movements of her hands in the same way, with dessert in her mouth, her eyes were fixed on Kugimiya and Nioh in the center of the dance floor.

What was she sighing at that time?

[The fox turned into a prince... so handsome...]

So—do you think that boy on the field is handsome again now?

Yukimura, who was slightly dissatisfied with this guess, suddenly regretted a little, why he chose painting instead of listening to his mother to learn dance when he was a child.

Because the designated repertoire is all waltzes, the audience almost experienced a kind of aesthetic fatigue.

So when it comes to the custom repertoire, when there are dances like Cha Cha and Latin, the auditorium often seems to breathe a sigh of relief.

And because it is a self-defined repertoire and dance type, each contestant naturally chooses what he is good at.

This directly led to the performance on the field becoming more and more inseparable from the eyes, and each end attracted bursts of applause like waves.

And even so, Liangjing girl's mental strength only lasted until Miasako finished her own song, and she passed out completely. It was not until the host announced the promotion list that she was shaken a few times by the mountain and woke up leisurely.

When she propped her head on one hand and heard "Lihai University Affiliated Middle School—Ezumi Asako", the Liangjing girl felt that her hard work of getting up at 07:30 on a rare weekend and then traveling all the way to Tokyo to watch this dance competition was not in vain.

"Let's go, let's go to the dressing room to surprise Miasako." After the audience had dispersed, Yamashita stood up and said to Liang Jing who was sitting next to him.

Nodding his head, Liang Jing yawned again, and then followed behind Shanshita.

After walking a few steps, Yamashita suddenly realized something was wrong, turned his head to look at Yukimura and Yanagi, "You...?"

"It's not convenient for us to go to the girl's dressing room, so I'll wait for you at the theater lobby, Jingshi, what do you think?" Liu asked.

"I have no objection." Yukimura nodded, no matter what, he stayed here for an afternoon, and it's okay to stay for a while.

When Yamashita and Liangjing girl went backstage.Most people have changed their clothes back to their daily clothes, while some are still taking off their make-up, Miasako is one of them.

The girl from Liangjing took a closer look and found that the makeup on these people's faces was much thicker than what she saw offstage.

As a girl who doesn't even touch cosmetics on weekdays, when she saw the thick eyebrows and big eyes on Miasako's face, she couldn't help but leaned forward and touched them, "Wow——Miasako, you are so beautiful."

"..."

Are you sure I'm halfway through removing makeup?

Originally, when she saw her friend appearing here, Miasako wanted to pounce on her and give her a bear hug.But when the Liangjing girl touched the half of her cheek that hadn't removed her makeup with one hand, the excitement disappeared immediately.

"By the way, you didn't tell me when you came here?" Mimako finally couldn't hold back and began to "condemn" Yamashita and Liangjing, "Especially you! Liangjing sauce is not as straightforward as before! You actually learned to lie to me, Um?"

Mei Mazi clearly remembered what Liang Jing said to herself yesterday that she would not come to cheer for her.

It suddenly appeared here today.It made her almost think she was hallucinating just now.

"It's a pity that I have been lost for a long time!" Mei Mazi put her hands on her hips, looking at her two friends with half joy and half depression.

"Isn't this, I want to give you a surprise..." Yamashita reached out and patted Mimako's shoulder in relief, then looked behind Liangjing who suddenly became dazed for some reason, and asked, "Is that right?"

"Ah-hmm."

"Hmph...Okay. Then Miss Ben will barely forgive you~ Do you know that I am so happy that you come to watch my game!! I love you to death!!!" Said and rushed up and threw the two people in front of me The friends were hugged into their arms and rubbed and rubbed.

Yamashita couldn't stand such a greasy atmosphere, and retreated from Miasako's arms after being rubbed for a while.

He took out a beautifully packaged small box from his canvas bag and handed it to Miasako. "Kanai asked me to bring it. She said that if you don't make it to the semi-finals, you won't be allowed to give it to you."

"Cut~ I am! How could I not be able to enter the semi-finals! The king Li Haida has no dead ends!" Mei Mazi raised her fist in the air.

Liang Jing felt that his nerves were thick enough at ordinary times. Looking around, it was obvious that this was not a dressing room for one person.

Mei Mazi's rhetoric made her happy, and the eyes of other people around her were instantly unkind.

"By the way, what is this? And why didn't Kana come here?" Walking out of the dressing room, Mimako, who obviously didn't realize that she had pulled a lot of hatred just now, shifted her gaze to the box in her hand, and weighed it up and down. .

Yamashita shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know what was in it, "She has something to do today, she still knows that I will come to my house in the morning—"

"Wow--!"

Yamashita, who was interrupted in the middle, looked helplessly at Miasako who was still agitated, and she felt that she might as well not waste her words just now.

And the Liangjing girl said that now she really wants to cover Miasako's O-shaped mouth, and the eyes around her have become more and more unkind.

Inside the velvet box lies a necklace with a three-dimensional crystal crown.

It looks good and is very suitable for today's Mei Mazi.Liang Jing thought so.

"Miss Jiang Quan, are you still taking off your makeup?" The makeup artist, who had been basking in the sun by Mei Mazi's seat for a long time, finally couldn't bear to speak.

Although this kind of scene where friends come to congratulate is very warm, but she also wants to finish and go home soon!

"Ah, I'm here, I'm sorry..." Mimazi remembered that she got up and left the seat suddenly in the middle of removing her makeup, so she quickly sat back.

About ten minutes later, Mimako, who had removed her make-up and changed into her dance clothes, returned to her fresh student look and walked in front of the two of them.

"It still looks good with makeup... ah!"

Yamashita looked at the person who was covering his head, his eyes were pitiful, and couldn't help but tsk-tsk twice in his heart.

Yes, yes, our Liangjing girl was sanctioned by "Burst Chestnut".

So, when Yukimura and Liu stood in the hall and saw the three girls coming out, they saw the girl named Ishida Ryoi rubbing the top of her head with one hand, her eyes seemed to be glistening.

They are not unfamiliar with this dynamic, and it can be said that they can often see it.

Because when the tennis club is training, everyone who is sanctioned by Sanada Iron Fist will do this move.

After walking out of the theater, Liang Jing realized that not only were there many people on the way back, but there was also a beautiful pockmark.

Walking in a row of five on the street was a bit blocking the road for pedestrians behind, so consciously, everyone walked back and forth in threes and twos.

But the Liangjing girl originally thought that the natural formation should be - herself, Miasako, Yamashita in a row, and the two boys Yukimura and Yanagi in a row.

But the actual formation was that he, Yukimura and Mimako formed a row.

Everyone, are you so afraid of being kicked by a donkey?

Because of all the embarrassments before, Liangjing girl always felt that even her walking posture had unconsciously become standardized.

Walking upright on the road, Liang Jing couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Although I am indeed often nervous, it is often the case when there are many crowds or when I need to talk to strangers.

It stands to reason that Yukimura-san has been with her for a while, even if she was a little embarrassed before, she would not be so nervous.

Could it be—the aura is not in harmony?

With this mentality, Liangjing girl approached Mei Asako silently, until Mei Asako couldn't help staring at Liangjing girl and told her that she was about to be squeezed onto the main road, Liangjing had no choice but to restrain herself a little.

Yukimura was walking forward with his hands in his pockets with his usual expression on his face.

Naturally, he noticed the sudden estrangement from the Liangjing girl.This kind of deliberate avoidance has happened more than once before, when he thought that this new transfer student was disgusted with him.

But since she admitted that she wasn't annoying last time, it was obvious that she couldn't be this time either.

According to Yukimura's observations of Liang Jing these days, she is not a character who is prone to disgust or hatred for a certain person.

Even if it was the man behind the campus forum or the two seniors involved in the black box incident, she didn't seem to have explicitly said that she hated that person.

So - on a fair guess, is this excessive shyness?

Because I was too close to her just now?

As for the situation of the three people in front, Liu Lian'er and Qingquan Shanxia, ​​who were walking behind, were all aware of it.

As one of the people who can often see Yukimura and Ryoi interacting, Yamashita has a little understanding in his mind of what made the current situation seem strange to outsiders.

After all, the bystanders know.

And Liu Lianer beside her silently wrote down in her heart that the Minister's attention to Ishida-san has increased again; Ishida-san may have a sense of repulsion towards the Minister for unknown reasons.

The return tram didn't make them wait for a long time. A gust of wind blew in the tunnel. After a few seconds of "ding dong ding dong", the train pulled into the station on time.

When several people stepped into the tram car one by one, Liangjing girl, as No. 1 who walked into the car, took Miasako's hand and sat down on a side seat.

There is no empty seat next to him, so Yukimura-san will not be very close to him after all.

People with a discerning eye can naturally see the Liangjing girl's careful thinking at a glance, and even Mei Mazi, who was involved in the middle of the journey, has somehow noticed something is wrong.

So Yukimura began to feel a little psychologically unbalanced. For the first time, he felt what it was like to be "disgusted".

Young people have a little hope that they can be valued all the time, not to mention Yukimura himself has always been praised by everyone in the sky.

Therefore, the long-standing sense of superiority made him subtly feel that others would not reject him.

but now……

For some reason, a very childish thought suddenly appeared in Yukimura's mind: You want to alienate me, but I won't let you.

In the past, Yukimura Seiichi felt that he would not be so naive.But this time, since the birth of this idea, it began to dominate every corner of his heart bit by bit, and he couldn't be pulled away.

Liu Lianer sat next to Yukimura, but she didn't dare to open the notes, so she had to calculate silently in her heart.

Um--

If he analyzed Yukimura based on the data in his notebook, he felt that Yukimura would be more alienated from this girl than this girl from him, but now, it is obviously not the case.

How could he have the illusion that Ishida-san would become Yukimura's prey?

Once again, Liu, who found that the data he recorded about Yukimura Seiichi was useless, was inexplicably hit, and vowed that he must work harder to improve his data system.

Otherwise, the probability of defeating the minister by relying on the existing data is - 0%
