After the performance club training ended, Kamikawa High School fell into complete silence.

Although Yotsuya Station is a very important station in Tokyo, with four lines passing through it, it has very good greenery. On the way to the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department, you can even hear frogs croaking in the distance.

The three of them sat around the beech wood table.

"The most recent dance," Qingye Rin thought for a while, "if I remember correctly, it should be the day after tomorrow."

"Isn't that just today and tomorrow? Is there enough time?" Watanabe Toru asked worriedly.

"It's just a very regular dance, and the etiquette doesn't need to be exact. Even," Qingye Rin laughed, "you can stay in the corner with me and eat."

"It's not impossible, but are you willing to take the responsibility of calming Kujo Miki's anger?"

Qingye Rin sneered: "Why should I accommodate her?"

"Then there's no other way. I actually really want to be your eating buddy...wait, are you going to the dance too?"

Qingye Rin sighed helplessly. Although he still straightened his back, he felt a little tired.

It seems that this eldest lady is having a hard time - maybe it's because of the matters in the music department that she has been exhausted physically and mentally for a long time.

Rin Kiyono did not complain about his own affairs and continued to say to Toru Watanabe: "Two days should be enough, as long as you don't only know how to read and play the oboe."

"You underestimate me too much." Toru Watanabe said confidently, "As long as I think about it, I can do anything easily."

The corner of Qingye Rin's mouth raised a contemptuous arc: "Why don't you lie?"

"..." Tetsu Watanabe was speechless, "Kyono-san, I must clarify some facts: lies are not as evil and unforgivable as you think."

After talking about his point of view, based on the idea of ​​​​writing essays in his previous life, Watanabe Toru naturally started to give examples.

"For example, a young and beautiful girl ran past me, and a gangster came behind me and asked me which direction the girl ran. I told him that the girl ran in the opposite direction. You see, the lie at this time

How noble and lovely I am, full of sense of justice, the government can even award me a certificate for my bravery in righteousness."

"Ignoring the examples you gave, there are many other ways to avoid lying. I admit that for ordinary people, it is unrealistic to avoid lying at all." Qingye Rin nodded.

"look."

"But," Kiyono Rin stared at him with a puzzled expression, "What about people who often lie in daily life or even in love?"

"...Are you just talking about me?"

"That's right." There was undisguised pride in Qingye Rin's smile.

"We are not debating whether lies have any value..."

"Both of you!" Hanada Asako suddenly spoke, loudly interrupting Tetsu Watanabe's words.

Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin were shocked.

"What's the problem, Hanada-senpai?" Kiyono Rin asked.

"You two," Asako Hanada grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and glared at the two of them like a rabbit with red eyes, "you are indeed doing something that is sorry for Kujo-san!"

Qingye Rin opened his mouth, surprised and didn't know what to say.

"The debate is over." Toru Watanabe also couldn't understand the idea of ​​​​this emotional mysophobia, but he was not interested either, "Let's start teaching directly, Mr. Kiyono."

Qingye Rin crossed his arms: "Let me train you well."

"...Suddenly you feel a little scary."

Qingye Rin showed a gloomy smile: "Because your words made me feel very unhappy."

Why is she as twisted as Kujo Miki?

"Senior Kiyono!" Hanada Asako even revealed her identity as a senior in order to interrupt the two of them from continuing to chat.

"Oh, I know."

Seeing Rin Kiyono's attitude as if he was accommodating a child, Toru Watanabe couldn't help but laugh, but in order not to get a roll of the eyes, he tried his best to vent his laughter with his breathing.

After chatting for a while, the topic finally got back on track.

"Etiquette and dance posture, I don't think these two are the most important things."

"Well...continue."

"Is this the tone of asking someone for advice, Watanabe-san?"

"I'm sorry, I have a problem with my attitude. Please continue, Mr. Kiyono." Toru Watanabe bent down and performed a gentleman's courtesy as seen in TV dramas.

Qingye Rin nodded: "I didn't expect you to have talent in this. Then teacher, I..."

"You two! Enough is enough!" Asako Hanada burst into tears, "If I hadn't come today, you would have been playing a teacher-student pretending game!"

Watanabe Toru: "???"

Qingye Rin put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Watanabe-san, I think the first thing you need guidance is your mentality. Legally, there is no difference in status, but economically there will be class. As a high school student, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"When the time comes, will someone want to use their power and money to make me look bad?" Toru Watanabe is currently in a state where the Kujo family is using their wealth and power to make him look bad.

"There are many reckless and stupid people in this world, but they will not appear at the dance the day after tomorrow."

"How are you sure?"

"Even if there is, I won't show it."

"But I read a lot of novels...Okay, you continue."

Qingye Rin put away her cold eyes and pinched the bridge of her beautiful nose nervously.

"The so-called upper-class people in reality are more insidious than the characters in novels. They will only use tricks behind their backs if they don't like others. What I mean when I say the most important thing about mentality is to prevent yourself from having the mentality that they are out of reach.

"

"Out of reach?"

Watanabe Toru thinks he has a good attitude.

He doesn't have the pride of a time traveler, nor the pretentiousness of a system player. He is even low-key and humble, but he is never so humble as to think that someone can keep him out of reach.

The reason why he temporarily succumbed to Miki Kujo was because he had raised him for sixteen years and had been a farmer for most of his life.

"Let's not talk about money and status. When seeing them wearing expensive and beautiful dresses, ordinary people will generally feel that the other person is out of reach." Qingye Rin suddenly lowered his head and thought, "That's right. You acted very naturally at the tea party last time.

It seems you don’t need to worry about this step.”

"That's easy." She relaxed slightly, "If you don't think highly of the other person, your behavior will be natural. As long as you don't suddenly dance to "Chibi Maruko-chan" or play "Jingle Bells"

Just whistle. After all, it’s not a particularly serious occasion.”

"You don't have to go into such detail, right? What happened to "Chibi Maruko-chan" and "Jingle Bells"? World-class music!" Toru Watanabe defended the two unconvinced.

"Not much, it's just that the upper class people look down on it." Kiyono Rin ignored Watanabe Toru's dissatisfaction, "Okay, now stand up straight and do as I say."

There was nothing much to say about his stance. Rin Kiyono simply said a few words to ask Toru Watanabe to change his habit of yawning whenever he was bored.

"The upper class are indeed anti-human," Toru Watanabe said sarcastically with a pun.

"I don't deny it." Kiyono Rin nodded, "It's enough for you to imitate "Downton Abbey" for table manners. Although there are also very rude things in it, there are many rich people with a long history, such as your Kujo Mei

Ji, I only followed some simple etiquette, and those who were too complicated were eliminated."

"Then I'll go back and take a closer look."

"Next, master the dance steps. Before participating in the dance, you must learn some classic dance steps commonly used in dances, such as waltz. Considering that your girlfriend may deliberately make things difficult for you, it is best to practice dances such as tango, samba, rumba, and salsa.

Basics of dance steps such as the foxtrot.”

"So many?" Toru Watanabe said in surprise, "When I watch TV, don't you just put your arms around your waist, hold hands, and take two steps?"

Kiyono Rin rolled her eyes at him, sometimes novels, sometimes TV series, she really had nothing to say to Watanabe Tetsu.

It’s just like a patient saying to a doctor: I didn’t find this disease when I checked online. You won’t misdiagnose it, right?

She said angrily: "Instead of talking nonsense, why not start practicing immediately. Raise your hands!"

"yes!"

They practiced until eleven o'clock before the three of them went home.

The next morning, Toru Watanabe met Rin Kiyono at the shoe cabinet, and she handed him a pamphlet.

"What's this?"

Qingye Rin restrainedly yawned: "Put it down."

Watanabe Toru opened it and found a lot of notes on dance etiquette.

For example, before eating, you should greet the host of the dance, hold a drink in your left hand, remember to put the shared tableware back to its original place after selecting food, put a maximum of four foods on the plate, and wipe your mouth with a napkin after eating...

“Why is it all about food?”

"There are other rules for inviting dance partners later."

"Thanks."

Qingye Rin was about to say something, but he couldn't help but opened his pink lips and yawned.

Watanabe Toru's heart was full of gratitude, so he said: "Kyono-san, you are so lazy and charming, so cute..."
