Dance Party

"Ahem, I actually met a ghost..."

Furuhashi hurriedly explained.

"Ghost?"

Ogata was taken aback, but his body didn't jump, mainly because his chest bounced lightly.

"That happened yesterday night…" Furuhashi explained what happened last night, "Father sent a message saying that he wouldn't be home at night, so I was feeling a bit scared myself, so I went to Asakawa-san's apartment to spend the night. "

"That's right, it's just a sleepover." Naoki said beside him "I didn't do anything else."

Furuhashi glanced in embarrassment.

She actually didn't say anything, obviously using his mother as an excuse, and then deliberately bullied others, and didn't even blink his eyes when she lied, his skin was getting thicker and thicker!

Naoki answered with his eyes: "Then should I tell the truth?"

Furuhashi turned his face: "Don't talk."

"Why didn't you call me?" Ogata asked.

Furuhashi said "Ricchan is very scared of ghosts, what I told you might scare you."

"Ghosts are scary." Ogata nodded and admitted, "But if the three of us are together, I won't be afraid."

After a pause, Ogata continued:

"With Sawako, the four of us together."

Right now, Ogata still hasn't forgotten Sekijou, that yuri girl would be so touched that her nose would bleed at his words!

"Walking while talking." Furuhashi stomped his feet lightly, it was very cold that morning, "Let's go to school first."

....

The three of them walked together, through the cold and windy streets, and arrived at the school.

"Fumino-san, Rizu-san!" Sekijou waved happily at the school gate, "Here!"

"Ah, it's Sawako."

"Sawako, good morning."

When the four of them met, the three girls were of course very happy.

Naoki looks at Sekijou: "Why do you have dark circles?"

Sekijou covered his mouth with his hand and yawned: "Actually I was too excited last night and accidentally didn't sleep."

"Any major event must be calm." Naoki said, "The more critical the moment, the more you need to calm down."

"Anyone could say that." Sekijou curled his lips lightly when she heard this, "I can't sleep, what can I do?"

"You can use counting to help you sleep." Naoki suggested "For example, one Rizu, two Rizu, three Rizu..."

"W-why am I counting Rizu-san!" Sekijou's face quickly turned red "Isn't it normal to count sheep!"

Naoki: "I think the sleep aid effect is better."

"It won't get any better." Sekijou exclaimed, "That will only make me more excited, and make it harder to fall asleep!"

Naoki's eyes are full of meaning: "Have you tried it?"

....

Walking into the gymnasium, someone had arrived earlier, and happily greeted Furuhashi.

Naoki goes alone, and checks the gymnasium layout, lighting, sound, and piano are all set, just waiting for the ball to start.

Since it was the first time the school was having a dance party, quite a number of people came. Naoki glanced over and found the student council member in a corner. Among them, the stocking-stealing girl made eye contact with Naoki and immediately lowered her head

"Come here."

Naoki waved his hand.

The stocking-stealing girl had no choice but to walk.

"What are you doing here?" Naoki asked.

"Look at the event preparations." The girl whispered, "Pay attention to the safety of the ball too..."

Naoki nodded: "That is to ask about information?"

The girl wanted to argue so badly, but finally gave up struggling: "...Almost."

"There are very few of you, but I never expected to make the dance a success." The girl's tone was a little complicated, and she was a little surprised.

Costumes, props, venues, and so on. Only those who had actually put on an event knew how difficult it was. Anyone can talk about it, but very few people can actually do it.

Even though the dance party hadn't started yet, in the girl's eyes she knew that the winner had already been decided.

The student council member's time cabin is held every year, and everyone has long gotten used to it, and the dance party is a real surprise.

Naoki said: "You wouldn't make trouble on purpose, right?"

"Of course not." The girl said lightly, "We are the student council, not evil villains. The student council president just said that the ball had a lot to learn. If successful, it might become a regular event at the school in the future."

"Understand." Naoki waved his hand "You can go."

The girl left displeased.

Coming and going when Naoki calls, he truly treats herself as a human tool!

...

As time went on, more and more people came.

This is the first time the school is having a dance after all. Even though the main crowd was the third year students, people from other classes were not barred from coming. Naoki slowly discovered that there were many acquaintances from the second grade, and even first grade faces.

"Nanjo, why are you here?" Naoki looked at the cheesy little sister "Didn't draw a doujin today?"

"Draw a doujin record every day!" Nanjo folded his arms across his chest, with an 'I'm not happy' expression all over his face, "I've been drawing doujin notes for half a year, you've forgotten!"

"Sorry, I think I had an auditory hallucination just now…"

A flash of light flickered in the corner.

Naoki managed to catch it with jelly, and made his way to a corner. Behind the pillar, there was a little girl with long silver hair hiding.

"Koharu, what are you doing here?"

"Shooting material." Koharu raised the camera in her hand and said, "As a member of the news club, of course I'm here to collect materials for the first dance."

Naoki said speechlessly: "You can go out and shoot openly."

"No." Koharu hugged the camera with a serious expression, "Only a sneak shot can take the most perfect shot."

A pervert girl who likes to take secret pictures, because she is elusive and likes to stalk behind, Naoki only found her again today.

"Then you continue."

Naoki continues to patrol the gymnasium, and is surprised to find another familiar face that shouldn't appear.

Hair in braids, black-rimmed glasses, tall and tall, holding a book in her arms, she is the library lady Naoki hasn't seen in a long time.

"Pansy." Naoki was surprised "You came to the dance?"

"I will not participate." Sumireko pushed her glasses up to the bridge of her nose, her tone serious, "I'm just curious, come and see."

"There is a dressing room on the second floor. If you are curious, you can change clothes and try dancing."

"Sounds like fun… but I refuse."

...

10:00 AM.

The curtains closed, the lights turned on, and the moment the third year student in charge of emcee stepped onto the stage, the dance party officially began.

Amidst the cheers, the five girls from the light music club first appeared on stage. Unfortunately, there was only one accident. This time the dance party didn't trigger the blue white bowl incident. Even so, the atmosphere of the dance party was boisterous instantly when the guitar and bass sounded.

After the performance from the light music department, it was Naoki's turn to play the piano.

"Asakawa-san, cheer up."

Ogata clenched his right fist and cheered.

"There are lots of people." Sawako looks at the gymnasium "Don't be nervous, just like yesterday."

"It's fine if you don't say it." Naoki looked at Sekijou "I was nervous when you said that."

Sekijou couldn't believe it at all.

Naoki said opening the harem so boldly, how could he be nervous over such a trivial matter!

"Is Asakawa-san that nervous?" Ogata raised his little face and said. "I was reading yesterday, and I happened to see a way to ease the tension."

Naoki asked curiously, "What way?"

"It's very simple..." Ogata's face was a little red, "Bend down."

Naoki bowed after hearing this.

Ogata covered his chest with his right hand, and stood on tiptoe.

Sekijou opened his eyes wide and hastily looked around.

(Fortunately, no one else was around...)

This is a gymnasium, it will be troublesome if anyone sees it, Ogata has no restrictions!

About the kiss on the cheek, Sekijou didn't take it seriously.

When she met Hanako's ghost before, it wasn't that she didn't kiss him in front of her, she was used to it.

The lips remained on Naoki's cheek for a few seconds, Ogata stood up straight, his little face slightly red: "Is this useful?"

Naoki wiped his cheeks: "It tastes really good."

Of course not bad!

Sekijou was envious and jealous.

If Ogata could take the initiative to kiss her, she would be so excited that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.

"Sawako." Ogata turned his eyes and looked at Sekijou. "Now it's your turn."

"Eh?" Sekijou was taken aback, and said blankly, "My turn?"

Ogata's tone is serious: "Give Asakawa-san courage and encouragement."

"Wait a moment." Sekijou hastily extended his right hand, the temperature on his face rapidly rising, "Why would I do such a thing?"

Ogata tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Because Sawako also had a hand in it."

"That kind of thing…"

Sekijou hesitated.

"Just forget it." Naoki says "Don't push Sawako, go and get Fumino."

Sekijou immediately got angry.

True, she's not quite as cute as Furuhashi, but it's too much for Naoki to substitute for her so openly!

"Fumino-san has important business upstairs, so she didn't have time to come here." Sekijou puffed out his cheeks slightly, "Leave it to me."

Naoki raised his eyebrows and looked: "Are you sure?"

"Certain!"

It was just a kiss on the cheek, not like she had never kissed before.

As long as Ogata can be happy, it doesn't matter what she does.

After completing the psychological training, Sekijou raised his hand to hold the hair by his ear, and leaned forward with a red face.

The tenderness and warmth are fleeting.

"Okay." Sekijou quickly straightened up, blushed, and quickly wiped his lips, "The light music club's performance is about to end, it's your turn to play!"

"I understand." Naoki touched his cheek and said softly "Why did you kiss the same cheek as Rizu?"

"I want you to take care of it..." Sekijou argued, "I'm too nervous to forget about it."

....

After a while.

With the light music club leaving, Naoki steps onto the stage and begins conducting the piano recital.

Tension is naturally not tense.

Fingers landed on the keys, invisible ripples swayed in the air, and notes began to emit from the fingertips, intoxicating people.

Naoki looked down while playing the piano, there were quite a few students in the third year participating in the dance, and winter break would be in another week or two. For the first and second graders, they were simply winter break, but for the third graders ahead of them, it was the last high school time.

After the winter holidays is the New Year. After the New Year, they have to take a fateful national exam in January. In February and March, each university holds separate exams. The test locations are generally at universities, they have to move between different universities. In other words, the high school life of the third year students is coming to an end.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the number of people who came to the dance was quite large.

Many people muster up the courage to extend an invitation to someone they like or have a crush on.

Naoki saw in the corner, a man walked towards Asumi and said something. Even though he couldn't hear clearly, there was no doubt that he had invited Asumi to dance with him.

Asumi looked surprised and looked up at the stage.

The four eyes face each other.

Asumi withdrew her gaze, gently played with the hair beside her ear, and replied: "Sorry, I already have someone I like, so I can't accept your invitation."

The boy who invited Asumi left sadly.

After a while.

Naoki who finished playing two more pianos and found Asumi who was drinking in the corner.

Asumi glanced and said jokingly:

"Kouhai-kun, just now a boy wanted to ask me to dance, do you think I will agree or not?"

"Didn't you already refuse?"

"Maybe I'll change my mind later."

Other people are also people who want face, you just refused, and you want to come back later, ask others if they agree!

"I'm curious." Naoki lowered his voice, "Who does Asumi senpai like?"

"Hah?" Asumi suddenly—with a playful expression, "How could you hear it from that far away?"

Naoki: "As an Esper, it's normal for me to have better hearing."

"Hatred!"

The temperature on Asumi's face rose rapidly, and she became furious with embarrassment: "You are actually eavesdropping!"

"I'm listening from above." Naoki said "Senpai hasn't said who she likes yet?"

Asumi turned her head away in embarrassment, "He is a shameless and hateful bastard."

"Even if it's trash, it's top grade trash."

"…Shameless!"
