Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 55

After a while, the greetings of the party started.

The person who appeared was a stern-looking bespectacled old man. According to Ricardo, he was the principal of this school.

He gave a long speech with formal atmosphere…

Moreover, even after him, there was a speech from a big-shot government official and an endless speech that went on and on from a professor who made a result, so the students were unable to cover their boredom.

(Even in this world, long speeches from some big-shots are painful.)

The ones speaking were also had various struggles to think about, but to be honest, these speeches were still tough to hear.

I wanted to do some muscle training, but I refrained from doing so since other people were looking.

After a long time had passed, the students were finally released and the party began.

The music was flowing and the dance had started. The orchestras were mixed with some students who were good at the arts.

The contents were quite different, but it might be similar to a school festival in Japan.

[Britney, why don't we dance to a song for the time being?]

[U, un… I'll do my best!]

Dancing with another man except for my teacher was a precious opportunity. So I nodded vigorously.

(Absolutely, I can't afford to break Ricardo's foot!)

It was rather embarrassing for me to start talking… Ricardo then humbly offered me a hand. Of course, I took it. Ricardo's hand was a bit warmer than mine.

We mixed in with the other dancing people while I desperately recalled the movements that my teacher taught me.

The song that was playing was a song with three beats, it was a song that was relatively easy to dance.

[Are you alright Britney? Your face looks stiff.]

[E, I'm calm, that's why.]

Compared to when I was fat, it was easier to move now.

Ricardo seemed to be really good at dancing, and when he moved, he seemed to be able to move fluidly.

[…Indeed, I understand the reason why you are not good at dancing.]

After dancing for a while, Ricardo unexpectedly opened his mouth.

[E, the reason?]

I focused my whole attention to my legs so as to not mistake a step, so I urged him to continue.

[You, have zero sense of rhythm…!]

[Wha, what! Vaguely, I also think so, but to think that's the reason!]

A very persuasive answer was given to me, so I was convinced.

Yes, I lack art-related talent. My poetry and music were especially terrible.

Although I was not good at it in my previous life, I was worse in this world.

As Ricardo had said, even with little effort, Britney's sense of rhythm was catastrophic.

[Uu, so it's that after all…]

[However, your kinetic vision doesn't seem bad. Even now, by watching my movements, you can match them at once right? I think it's a great feat.]

[E, is that so? I grew up in the mountains and I have good eyesight… eh?]

It was the boot camp with my ojii-sama that crossed my mind.

With that harsh training, I felt like I was thoroughly tempered to parts that had no relation with self-defense.

[Britney, be a bit closer to me. It's easier to lead you that way.]

[Ee!? You want me to be closer?]

I was told to be closer than usual compared to when I danced with my teacher, so I unintentionally raise my voice.

[…It's embarrassing for me if you react like that!]

[Because, this way, it's like we're hugging each other… you see?]

Since his persuasion grew, I approached the designated distance and extended my arms towards him.

[You, on purpose? Is it on purpose?]

[What is?]

[No, it's fine… I was seriously troubled for a moment and I became absurd.]

Ricardo who finished talking held me closer and restarted the dance.

(…Perhaps, he was seriously embarrassed?)

His ears were deep red, but it would be pitiful if I poke fun at him, so I kept silent.

Ricardo was a pure and shy nice boy after all.

TN: I don't know whether to laugh at Ricardo or pity him. Nah, after I thought about it, I'll laugh at him since he's so pitiful. I'm sadistic like that. XD
