”I haven't heard anything about that”
Yoshi+no-san said
”Neither have I”
shi+mako-san was in the same boat
”Yuantea”
That was the opinion shared by my two classmates
After calling the Roses, I'd phoned Yoshi+no-san and shi+mako-san at their houses, to tell theantea As a result, we ca a strategyin the library
The reading roo Still wearing our coats, we held a clandestine, face-to-faceBecause you could never tell when the boutons would show up at the Rose Mansion
”Since Yoshi+no-san hasn't heard anything from Rei-sama, I think it must be false information”
After thinking it over during the night, I was leaning towards it being a prank too That Sachiko-sa as she performed a ballet dance, was simply beyond belief
”But ”The Dance of the Little Swans” is real”
shi+h a ballet reference book On the page she held open was a color photograph showing four dancers in swan costuantly The library was a pretty convenient place for a , since we could look over reference material easily
”It is too”
I groaned Rosa Gigantea's lie had been a bit too specific
”But would Sachiko-sama dance it alone?”
She had a lot of pride, so it seeet of ridicule
”She would if Rosa Chinensis asked her, right? Or if they said she wouldn't be able to do it, she's the type of person ould just to prove the”
Oh Yoshi+no-san, sharp work
”When I think about it, there's a chance Rei-chan would get fired up too And since she's shy, she wouldn't want to tell me about it”
We'd done an about face and were now heading in the ”ht be true” direction In that case
”I guess we should prepare so then”
”Even if we don't need it, it's better than the alternative”
”Let's keep it a secret from our onee-samas”
We looked at each other and agreed With our plan in place, the next thing ould do what
”I'ood at comedy”
shi+mako-san looked troubled
”It's okay, don't worry”
Yoshi+no-san patted shi+mako-san on the shoulders, to reassure her nobody expected her to do a comedy routine
”Let's see shi+mako-san, you're a master of the arts, aren't you? You can perforht?”
”… Yes”
shi+reed dubiously In contrast, Yoshi+no-san see herself She looked like she really loved this sort of thing
”Can you dance improv?”
”What do you mean by improv?”
”I mean, could you dance to soraphy, could you make it up yourself?”
”If I knew the song, I could e”
”Okay Since you'll be as busy as the other boutons, how about you dance to soanize for the event”
Like a dictator, Yoshi+no-san was rapidlydecisions by herself Well, we didn't have
”So, I won't know the music until the performance itself?”
shi+mako-san still seemed uneasy
”Well, that'll ht?”
Really?
Yoshi+no-san was up to so nobody expected shi+mako-san to do a stand-up co to steer it in a comedic direction
”So then, Yuhs”
”Laughs, huh”
I got a very different treatment to shi+mako-san
”I'll do a ic show Yumi-san, you can do some kind of party performance”
”Wha, a party performance!?”
Yoshi+no-san took an ”Introduction to Party Performances” book off the shelf and held it out to ic, for her own use
”But I can't do a party performance”
I wailed I'd never done any kind of party performance in my entire life Not only that, but I'd never even seen one either
”Quit co, there's no time Yumi-san, I'm sure you'll be able to put on a funny show”
The Rose families were skilled at flattery
”I guess I haven't got a choice”
Reluctantly I took hold of the ”Introduction to Party Performances” book
Nevertheless Wasn't that a backhanded compliment?
”Yumi-san”
At lunchti my lunch, a voice called out to stop me
”Will Rosa Chinensis en bouton be present at the Rose Mansion during the lunch break?”
It was Saeko-san She was the petit soeur of the head of the flower arranging club Usually we didn't speak much, well, about as much as normal classmates
”Yeah, probably”
