Tokyo Soft Rice King

Oh my god, the monitor's cesium point is the same as mine!

Is there any resonance in this kind of place?

"But liking to watch and participating are two different things. Our school's women's cheerleading club has quite a few members, but the men's cheerleading club is pitifully small. This year, there weren't even any performances."

"Because boys are very thin-skinned and afraid of losing face during puberty, they probably feel very ashamed."

"So, the same goes for dancing. Maybe only boys who like to show off would like to do street dance or something like that, but they would be very shy if they were asked to dance hand in hand with girls... Mingjun, look, most of the people dancing by the bonfire right now are girls, with only a few being boy-girl pairs. And they all seem very shy, don't they?"

"Yeah... But for boys, dancing itself isn't important. What's important is who you dance with."

Just being able to hold hands with the girl I like and make memories is enough.

Then a more innocent boy might think, "I won't wash my hands today," while a more vulgar boy might think, "I'll just use this hand today."

"Actually, girls think the same way. Who you dance with is more important, because it's actually a kind of 'simulation' process."

"simulation?"

Hei Yuming didn't understand what it meant.

Speaking of which, the class monitor should be quite good at dancing. I have seen her proficiency in it before, and it is a difficult dance like ballet.

"Dancing itself is an activity where you let your body sway to the rhythm of music, expressing your emotions and yourself. Dancing with two people is actually a bit like that...you're both trying your best to cooperate with each other while also satisfying yourself."

What Anri Hitomi was talking about was naturally the last type of interaction between couples that goes straight to home plate.

Speaking of which, animals only dance when they are courting, and after the courtship is successful, the training phase begins.

In other words, the men and women dancing around the bonfire now will go to a hotel later?

After she said this, Hei Yuming suddenly felt that a very lively party was taking place downstairs.

"So, if only one party is satisfied, while the other party feels restrained because of the fear of embarrassment, I would feel a little regretful..."

"I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself..."

As mentioned before, a long time ago, Kuroba Akira still cared about other people's opinions, but after completely saying goodbye to his first love, he turned around and no longer cared about other people at all.

For example, he used to dislike taking photos as a souvenir, thinking it was too deliberate, so he would try to avoid the camera. But later he felt that there was nothing embarrassing about just taking photos.

Some opportunities, if you miss them at the time, will never come back.

But, class monitor... Anri Hitomi is someone that Kuroba Akira cares about very much now, so he still wants to try not to cause trouble for her.

"However, I really can't let go completely. Maybe I'm too focused on avoiding stepping on your feet, squad leader..."

"Now that I mention it, I suddenly want to see Mingjun clumsily trying to cooperate with me and keep up with my pace. I think it would be very cute, hehe~"

Asato Hitomi laughed happily.

"But... I still hope that you, Mingjun, can also be satisfied, and not just make a 'sacrifice' to please me."

"Sacrifice is an exaggeration..."

"Even though you don't like dancing, you still invited me. This thought alone makes me very happy."

So Anri Hitomi didn't want to dance, she just didn't want Hei Yuming to do something he didn't like for her.

And if you want to make memories, you don’t have to participate in the cultural festival activities.

Just like now, being alone in the deserted library, the two of them were memories that belonged only to the two of them.

"Besides, we don't need this simulation process between us, right?"

"makes sense……"

The reason why the bonfire party at the cultural festival is called a confession party is because boys and girls who have never had the chance to meet can use this opportunity to get together.

But Kuroba Akira and Asato Hitomi's hands were already holding together, with their fingers intertwined, palms touching, and tightly clasped together.

"If you, Mingjun, are simply interested in dancing, I can teach you step by step."

"No need... As you said, I really prefer watching others dance."

"Then if there's a chance in the future, I'll dance for you, Mingjun, alone, okay?"

"That would be great."

Hei Yuming had already imagined what the class monitor would look like in a dance costume.

She must be very graceful when dancing ballet...

"Mingjun, which one do you want to see? House dance? Pole dance? Or striptease?"

"Is it actually like this?!"

Even I never thought it would be this kind of dance!

Too much cesium!

What the squad leader said about himself being a H person is absolutely true!

Although it was obvious from the style of her underwear that the class monitor was a reserved person, she had no intention of hiding it in front of him now.

"Class leader, do you even know how to dance like this..."

"Of course I can't dance now, but if you want to see it, I can start practicing now. That way, I can dance just for you."

Even the reason I learn dance is for you.

"I'm flattered..."

"Then it's a deal. After I finish practicing, shall we go to KTV together?"

"Okay, I'll stay with you until the end."

The first day of the cultural festival is coming to an end, and the promise to visit the cultural festival together has been fulfilled.

So, the two made a new agreement.

When one promise is fulfilled, a new one is made, and so on, one after another, the promises will continue...

"Looks like the show is about to start...Ah, I saw Shiori and Moe."

"Oh, I saw that too. Are they looking for us?"

"That should be the case... But today, Mingjun belongs only to me."

"Um……"

Hei Yuming subconsciously lowered his head, then quickly raised it again, his eyes filled with a mixture of joy and shyness, as if he could not bear such pampering.

The music starts.

The student band's performance began.

……

At the outermost circle of the temporary stage, Aizono Moe and Shirai Shiori were looking for the other two members of the literature club.

In order to prevent getting separated, Moe Aizono and Shiori Shirai also held hands.

After searching for a while without finding the target, and with more and more students gathering around, the two of them simply stopped searching and decided to watch the performance from the outside.

Moe Aisono squeezed her best friend's hand and said with a smile when Shirai Shiori looked over.

"Hitomi and Kuroba-kun...it seems they're not here...That's great, Shiori."

"What's good about that? I don't understand what you're talking about, Mengmeng."

Shirai Shiori replied a little arrogantly, but she was actually relieved in her heart.

But on second thought, if the two of them were not here, they must have gone somewhere else to have a secret 'rendezvous', and most likely to a private place where no one else was around.

In that case, anything those two people could do would be possible... Shirai Shiori's delusion was once again in full swing, and her face turned red and her heart beat fast at the thought.

But this time was different from the past. Before, I had simply been excited by the sensual plot, but now it was also mixed with a sense of humiliation of being 'taken away'. Superimposed on the original excitement, it became an even more special stimulation...

Suddenly, Shiori Shirai seemed to be able to understand those novels whose core selling point is netoru.

I understand a new feeling...but, this doesn't seem so good, right?

This depressing and twisted feeling, as if one has sacrificed something important and fallen completely into madness... is definitely not a normal emotion.

Shirai Shiori quickly shook her head, trying to throw all the delusions and dark feelings out of her mind, and then she happened to see Aizono Moe beside her looking at the students dancing around the bonfire with envy.

"Mengmeng, do you want to go dancing?"

In fact, it’s not that no one invited them just now, but they all refused.

Shirai Shiori's stern face and icy aura are enough to scare away boys, and she will not let other boys get close to the soft and cute Mengmeng.

However, this time, when Shiori Shirai was about to stand up for her best friend who was not good at dealing with boys, Moe Aizono actually, contrary to her usual behavior, rejected her.

This surprised Shiori Shirai.

Although Shiori Shirai had sensed her changes since Moe Aizono started illustrating Kuroba Akira's light novels, she didn't expect it to be so obvious.

Originally, only the dimensions of her body grew rapidly year by year, but her spirit did not keep up with the growth of her body, and she always remained a little girl.

However, she has grown up internally now, probably due to the influence of the only boy in a certain literature club.

Has Mengmeng gradually stopped needing her protection... Shirai Shiori felt relieved but also a little lonely.

Maybe it's time to let go.

"Eh? Ah, no, I, I'm not suited to dancing..."

"It has nothing to do with whether you're suitable or not. If you want to dance, go ahead and do it. If you're worried about not being able to dance well, I can accompany you, even though I haven't danced before."

"... As expected, Shiori is really amazing. She can do anything she wants..."

The corners of Aizono Moe's mouth rose slightly, forming a bitter arc.

"I don't want to dance... I just envy them... being able to boldly express their own personality..."

"Mengmeng, you can do it too. It's just a matter of whether you want to or not."

"Yeah... maybe I can start over and do what I want to do..."

Aizono Moe's face was full of sincerity, and her eyes were slightly red, which was the trace of emotions surging in her eyes.

"Shiori... I haven't been able to tell you properly before... but I really, really appreciate you... If you weren't by my side, I don't know what I would become..."

"Mengmeng..."

"Thank you, Shiori. We will always be together in the future."

"Well...as long as you still need me, Mengmeng, I won't let go of your hand."

It seems... it's not time to let go yet.

Shirai Shiori decided to hold it a little longer.

……

"Ming-kun, what do you think of Shiori and Moe-moe?"

"Eh? What about them? Do you mean my opinion of them? Or the relationship between them?"

"The biggest hidden danger between Mengmeng and Shiori, the hedgehog effect, has been resolved by you, Mingjun, so there is nothing to worry about between them."

Although at the same time, Mingjun, you have also become a 'new hidden danger'... Anri Hitomi did not say this out loud.

"I know, Mingjun, you value them very much."

"Well... because they are all genuine geniuses."

"So you value them more than me."

"Uh! No! I just..."

"I know, because you, Mingjun, can see their talents."

I was shocked. It turns out that the monitor had already discovered it?

"...When did you know this, squad leader?"

"After all, Mingjun, you always want to find an opportunity to look at the palms of others. Palmistry is just an excuse. Although I don't know what you can see, the change in your attitude after each reading is obvious."

"I see... Actually, this is a power I acquired by chance."

Since the squad leader has already found out, there is no need to hide it any further. Besides, since I have already decided to start a business with the squad leader, it is time to tell her.

So, Hei Yuming told the class monitor about the cheat he had.

Apart from his fellow time travelers in Kobayashi's family, this was the first time he told his cheat to the locals, and Asato Hitomi became his first target.
