Afternoon.
After lunch, Kitagawa Kai and his group took a bus to the activity experience center not far from the hotel.
There are many projects in the museum. In addition to dance, recording, and real-person script experience, there are also projects such as perfume mixing, jewelry making, and bean-making.
The girls choose the projects they are interested in and bring their companions to experience them separately.
Kitagawa Kai looked at Tachibana Akane, who was still browsing the project introduction, and took the initiative to walk to her side.
"Senpai Akane, do you have somewhere you want to go? Let's go together."
These days, everyone always moves together, and he also wants to find a chance to spend some time alone with Tachibana Akane.
Tachibana Akane raised his head, with a smile on his face.
"I can do anything. What do you want to play, junior?"
"Little Kitagawa, you said it this morning, you can't forget it!"
Hoshinomiya Chie walked over from the side and waved to the two of them with a smile.
"Let's go to the dance studio first, Xiaoqian will come with us!"
Kitagawa Kai remembered the agreement in the morning and turned to ask Tachibana Akane for his opinion, "Then let's go over and take a look first?"
"Okay."
Tachibana Akane put away the introduction sheet and followed his footsteps.
Although it was a little different from what she expected to do alone, she was happy to play together.
The three of them came to the dance experience area together.
The dance studio here is divided into many independent single rooms. You can choose your own music, or you can pay extra to have a professional dance teacher come to guide you.
They only rented a dance room.
Come out to play, just dance around. There is no need to arrange another class for yourself.
Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the room and looked at the bright floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the wall. His interest was clearly rising and rising.
"Little Kitagawa, Xiaoqian, you sit down first and I'll dance for you!"
"Okay, then we are just waiting to enjoy Chie's dance." Kitagawa Kai said with a smile.
She took off her coat, briefly moved her shoulders and ankles a few times, and walked to the control screen to select music.
"Let's talk first. I haven't danced for a long time. If my movements are out of shape, you are not allowed to laugh at me."
Tachibana Akane shook his head seriously. "No, come on, teacher Chie."
After calling her, she still felt that the title was a bit strange, since she had called it several times.
However, looking at the Class A class teacher in front of me, Class D has a strong figure, a cute face, and a cheerful and smiling look, it seems quite appropriate to call him "Chie".
Contrast and stuff are the most fun.
After a while, a nice music melody sounded. Hoshinomiya Chie walked to the mirror and tapped his toes twice to follow the beat.
At first, her body was still a little unable to let go, and many movements were not done properly.
Hoshinomiya looked at himself in the mirror, smiled sheepishly, and found that his body was not as flexible as he remembered.
However, she didn't stop and start over.
As the rhythm of the music progresses, Hoshinomiya Chie gradually regains its previous feeling, and its movements become smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.
Kitagawa Kai's body, which was originally sitting up straight, is now sitting even straighter. In this form, Chie is even more attractive.
He knew that Chie's body was very flexible, and he also knew that she had practiced dancing for many years.
But at this moment, Chie, who is dancing, has a dazzling confidence that is rarely seen in daily life.
As the music gradually came to an end, Hoshinomiya Chie stood in a graceful spin and slowly lowered its raised arm.
The dance room suddenly burst into warm applause.
"Elegant, so elegant!"
Tachibana Akane's eyes shone with admiration. "Teacher Chie, I thought you could do a cute dance, but I didn't expect it to be classical dance."
"Indeed." Kitagawa Kai also smiled and nodded in approval, "Especially the last part, even I was fascinated."
Hoshinomiya Chie smiled happily and bowed to the two of them in an elegant dance salute.
"Little Kitagawa, Xiaoqian, I haven't danced a complete dance like this for many years. You are the first audience after I reopened! How do you feel, are you moved or not?"
"It's very beautiful and eye-catching." Kitagawa Kai praised it without hesitation.
Hoshinomiya Chie took a sip of water, and the proud look on his face became more and more obvious. "Of course, I used to aspire to become a professional dancer!"
"Then... why did you choose to be a teacher, Teacher Chie?" Tachibana Akane asked with some confusion.
"Because after seriously considering the reality, I found that that circle is not that suitable for me."
Hoshinomiya Chie glanced at himself in the mirror, slightly sweating.
"Among the people I practiced dancing with before, they were indeed pretty good dancers. But compared with those monsters, the gap is actually quite big."
It's one thing to like it, but it's another thing to be able to live a stable life on it.
If you really want to take this path, you have to continue investing in training and selection.
If you can't join a professional dance company and rely on sporadic performances to maintain your income, your work arrangement will be more difficult to stabilize.
Even if you join a dance troupe, you may not always be able to get the performance opportunities you want.
Sometimes after months of hard preparation, the program may be adjusted due to someone else's words.
"Also, although I like dancing, I don't like it enough to be willing to sacrifice other things for it."
Hoshinomiya Chie said seriously, "I want to have a stable income, have my own free time, and not have to worry about where the next performance will be every month."
Tachibana Akane listened and nodded slightly with empathy.
As I get closer to graduation, I feel more and more how much employment pressure Japan is.
"What about opening a private dance studio? If the teacher dances so well, he should be able to teach the students with ease, right?"
"I have considered it before."
Hoshinomiya Chie smiled and shook his head, "But in that case, you have to recruit students, schedule classes, and think about how to teach students well every day. What you want to dance, you have to put it back."
"What I like is that when I hear music, I want to move. If I am happy today, I will dance a few more times. If I don't want to dance, I will do something else."
"If you really rely on this for all your food money, you can't be so willful."
She said and winked at the two of them playfully, "So just find a stable job and leave dancing to make yourself happy. Look, isn't it pretty good now?"
Tachibana Akane fully understands her choice.
Although she has never been exposed to the entertainment industry, she has heard many stories about opportunities, sponsorships and hidden rules since she was a child.
Japan has its own national conditions here.
Besides, Japan's variety shows and other shows really treat people like Japan.
Thinking about it this way, Teacher Chie's sober exit back then was actually a kind of smart and transparent wisdom.
Kitagawa Kai Listening, another reason came to mind.
When she failed to graduate from Class A, Chie also lost some opportunities. That experience had some impact on her subsequent choices.
However, he did not say these thoughts out loud.
Chie always feels natural when talking about the past.
She can openly admit that her talents are limited, and she can also explain with a smile what kind of life she wants to live, and there is no trace of unwillingness in her words.
It seemed that she had really given up.
Tachibana Akane was still digesting these words seriously, but Hoshinomiya Chie burst into laughter first.
"Why did the conversation suddenly sound like a professional interview? Don't you two think that the teacher is feeling very sorry and pitiful?"
"I just feel a little curious..." Tachibana Akane explained with a blushing face.
"Don't worry, now I have food and drink every day and can tease Kozue, Little Kitagawa, Honami... Oh, and Xiao Qian, I'm having a great time!"
"Teacher Chie, there is no need to give so many examples!"
