Amusement Live - Chapter 9

[bakemonoremy]

Location: Ground (Dusk)

Nazuna: (Wow, the sun’s already completely set, huh~?)

(That just proves how hard we were concentrating, I guess. The live this time is fairly different from usual, so I thought those guys would be at a loss.)

(But thanks to Wataru-chin, we decided on a course of action and put our best effort into the lesson.)

(I’ll do my best to keep it up tomorrow, too~, hip hip hurray ♪)

Hajime (off screen): ….~♪

Nazuna: (...Hm? What was that just now?)

(I think it came from over there… Yeah, no mistake about it. I can hear someone’s singing voice from the dance room. Is this beautiful voice Hajime-chin…?)

Location: Dance Room

Hajime: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪

Nazuna: (As I thought, it’s Hajime-chin...!)

(We rented the dance room until night, so there’s no problem with him practicing...)

(But we’re having lessons again tomorrow, and I told him to rest early so he won’t be exhausted from today, right~?)

Hajime: One and two, three and four…

 

Hajime: Spin and tu-...

Auu!?

Ouchie… Uu, I fell again. I keep messing up in the same spot over and over, I’m getting so sick of how clumsy I am.

No, this isn’t the time to get depressed. If I can’t do it, I just have to keep practicing more than the others.

Alright. I’ll take it from the top once more~!

♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪

Nazuna: (Uu~... I get anxious just watching this. Hajime-chin really can’t help tripping and falling during that turn. I’ll go and give him some advice.)

Yuuta: Hajime-kun.

Hajime: Eh? Wa-, wawah… Hyabu!?

Yuuta: Are you okay!? I’m sorry, it’s because I suddenly called out to you… Are you hurt?

Hajime: I-I’m okay~. Umm, what’s the matter? Did you forget something here?

Yuuta: No, I was just walking down the hallway and heard someone singing. So I was wondering if there was still someone here.

So you’re still practicing all by yourself, Hajime-kun~. How admirable, that makes me not want to lose.

Hajime: Ahaha… It’s nothing as praiseworthy as that~.

I’m the only one who’s so crummy at dancing that I’m holding everyone else back… So I’m just practicing because I have to improve until our live.

I can somewhat follow the steps Nii~chan taught me, but I’m still no good at all at the turn… I trip half of the time I try it.

Yuuta: Hmm~... In that case, how about I teach you the dance?

Hajime: Eh, are you sure about that? You’d be a great help, but wouldn’t it be a bother…?

Yuuta: Don’t worry about it~. If I went home I wouldn’t have anything to do either, so staying here and instructing you is much more worthwhile, Hajime-kun.

So, can you try dancing it?

Hajime: Y-yes. Aoi-sensei, I’ll be in your care...♪

Yuuta: Sensei, huh… I’d prefer if you addressed me normally, or rather, called me by my first name. Since I also started calling you Hajime-kun of my own accord.

Hajime: Fufu, got it. In that case, Yuuta-kun, I’ll be in your care...♪

One and two, three and four...

Spin and tu-... Hyan!?

Yuuta: Are you okay~? Need a hand?

Hajime: T-thank you very much. Guess I tripped again… Just what am I doing wrong?

Yuuta: I think I figured that out more or less just now.

Hajime: Eh, really? After only watching me for such a short moment...?

Yuuta: Umm, before I tell you, can I have a moment? Come closer~♪

Hajime: Ye~s, what is it~...?

Yuuta: Don’t move. ...Alright, done! Suits you pretty well~, Hajime-kun ♪

Hajime: Wah, aren’t these the hairpins you always wear, Yuuta-kun?

Yuuta: Your hair was kind of getting in your way, so for now, this is a stopgap measure.

Hajime: Due to Ra*bits’ policy, I can’t cut my hair. But like this, I kind of feel like I’ve become serious ♪

Yuuta: Glad to hear it. I have lots of these hairpins at home, so you can keep these if you like, Hajime-kun.

Hajime: No way, I’d feel bad if I kept them~! Umm, is it okay if I just borrow them for today?

Yuuta: Geez, there’s no need to be reserved. Well, no matter~. Alright, let’s get down to business.

Hajime: Yes! I’ll be in your care, Yuuta-kun ♪

Nazuna: ………….

(TL Note: Nazuna is smiling in the last frame, don’t worry)
