Chapter 970 – #209_Dancing With the Black Swan
#964
One.
Beautiful dance moves performed by men and women as one in a melody flowing in 3/4 time.
The flower waltz of a ball or social gathering is largely divided into two categories.
One is the standard waltz, which requires accurate technique in a formal format.
The other is a Viennese waltz that is casual and open in a slightly freer atmosphere.
To put it more simply, the standard waltz is a dance with strict restrictions that can only be seen in competitions, and the Viennese waltz is a dance romantically performed by male and female characters to the thumping rhythm of a romance movie.
In Gehenna, both are mainstream, but if you play 10 songs, it was common for 5 to be standard and 5 to be played in Viennese style.
“Let’s start with the standard. Because that side is much more difficult and there are many things to protect.”
Of the two, Albireo is most concerned about the standard waltz.
As for Albireo, when she was an apprentice witch, she practiced with blisters on her feet for close to a year before she got a passing grade from her master.
That’s why the goal is a level that doesn’t become a joke.
If it falls short of the standard, you should even consider removing the prom from the after party.
“I’ll start with the hold first.”
“Please take good care of me. Albireo.”
Siwoo greeted them politely and both of them performed the basic waltz movement, the hold movement.
The terminology is difficult, but the action itself is simple.
Follower Albireo holds leader Siwoo’s left hand with his right hand, and gently raises his left hand on his chest.
Siwoo’s remaining hand supports Albireo’s center back to help him balance.
As the basis of waltz is for men and women to be in pairs, each starts with a posture as if hugging each other, and this is the hold.
“Laugh…”
The hands holding each other didn’t wear gloves, so they said it couldn’t be helped, but since Albireo’s dress had a cut in the back, his strong hands naturally touched his bare skin.
At this point, Albireo felt sluggish.
If you ask why it’s a procrastinating feeling, it’s because it’s a strange feeling that can’t be clearly defined.
It is not suitable for us.
If it had been Siwoo just a while ago, he would have said something like ‘Is that okay?’.
If so, Albireo would say, ‘This is art. Siwoo-kun, can’t you tell the difference between art and obscenity?’
However, Siwoo now does not have the hesitation of a newbie.
Boldly going through skinship that is bold at first glance.
This is correct, but…
It was awkward too.
“Is there any problem?”
Albireo shook his head and shook his head at Siwoo’s gaze, which seemed to cast a puzzled look at him.
It also removes messy thoughts that were like tangled threads.
“It’s good. It’s a position that has been practiced quite a bit. But like this, when you support your back, it’s like raising it from the bottom a little more… Yes.
And my hand shouldn’t be clenched too tightly. Gently like holding an egg, right. Keep your left and right elbows as far away from the center of your body as possible. That’s fine.”
Albireo, who directed the detailed movements, took out a handkerchief and told him about the contents of the class scheduled for today.
“Today, I will only learn about holds, contact, eye handling, forwards and back steps.”
The biggest difference between the Standard Waltz and the Viennese Waltz is the contact between men and women called ‘contact’.
Viennese waltz includes movements such as spinning around or letting go of the hand for a while, but in the standard, the upper body must always be clinging together with a certain amount of pressure while facing each other.
If so, what areas should I stick to?
Albireo pointed out Shiu’s posture.
“Right now, the contact surface is too low. If you stick closely at the navel, the back balance is caught, and the motion is disturbed and the movement of the legs is restricted. So here.”
Albireo tucked his handkerchief under his chest, near the pit of his stomach.
Although Albireo is quite big like Deneb, this ball gown holds his chest tightly, so the two of them are in close contact without any obstruction.
“I’ll put a handkerchief here and train with the goal of not falling to the floor until one song is over.”
“I don’t think it will be difficult. I will try.”
“Don’t be cocky. Keep your head slightly back as much as your chest sticks out. That’s right, good job.”
Albireo, who had corrected Shiu’s posture, slightly tilted his back.
As if the arms holding hands belonged to the leader from now on, completely relax them.
Keeping in contact, pull his hips out and open his chest to create a soft curve.
Indeed, it was a perfect textbook for a follower that would be included as an illustration in a textbook.
The moment when Siwoo’s strong hands supported him as much as Albireo pushed his back.
“…”
What is this.
Albireo couldn’t help but be surprised inside.
The waltz is done in a rather interesting way as it is Gehenna, where there is no such thing as ‘equal men and women’.
Even if she alone has perfect movements and dance lines, she must be able to get her male role in the end so that she can dance or whatever.
First of all, in the case of a powerful family with a great family, a dance teacher in the family is accompanied.
It is to form a partner with a dance teacher who exists only for the witch, such as a maid or a cook.
However, Count Gemanai did not have a separate dance teacher, so he partnered with a dancer prepared by the organizers.
The witches of Gehenna usually enjoy watching plays, dances, and ballets, so there are not a few who are only engaged in the arts.
Most of these dancers are good-looking guys, and they’ve been obsessed with dancing all their lives, so their bodies are also very good.
Although Albireo had danced in pairs with such dancers many times, it was the first time in her life that she felt this kind of stability in the hold stage.
She was only gently supporting her back, but Albireo was supported by strong strength that would not be disturbed even if she relaxed and lay down like this.
An image of her appeared in her mind.
– Clap, clap, clap
– Hee hee!
The vast Mandel Hills at sunset.
A healthy wild horse running wild.
A fine horse with glossy black fur and a mane that flutters more beautifully than silk runs through the hills.
Above him is Albireo sitting on the side saddle…
“Albireo?”
“What?!”
Albireo’s eyes returned to focus.
Seeing her fall into such an absurd delusion, she must have been quite impressed.
“Siwoo-kun has good strength.”
“It’s a witch’s privilege.”
After all, he trained his original body and excellent spiritual body without neglecting a single day.
The pectoralis major muscle, which is as hard as a stone that can be felt when he puts his hand on it, also makes sense.
Again, there is a strange sense of disharmony.
The twins who wouldn’t hurt even if you put it in your eyes, and since your days as an apprentice witch, you’ve been doing 19 gold acts.
Even that was not enough, and even her sister was bewitched.
That’s not enough, doing up to 4P with Deneb and her twins in the same bed.
If that’s not enough, they’ll go missing and make you suffer.
It’s not enough, it’s the troublesome thing that becomes the center of all kinds of incidents and accidents.
Originally, to Albireo, Siwoo was an ugly son-in-law.
It was completely out of the question what kind of aspect he had as a man.
He didn’t hate him, but he had never paid attention to whether he was handsome or fit.
However, now that the two of them are looking at each other and holding their bodies closely, he has no choice but to be conscious even if he doesn’t like it.
Why do rumors of a romantic relationship between a warrior and a witch occur so often?
Was this the reason?
At the time of the invitation, he was just handsome, but now he has a face with masculine beauty and thick lines.
Her hair was naturally pulled back and an eyepatch obliquely covered her eyes.
It is not the usual timidity that can be felt from the outside facing each other at close range.
A hot red that melts down to the spine.
Okay.
It is passion.
“Siwoo-kun, when it’s standard, he doesn’t look at my face, but around my right shoulder. Eye contact is only between lovers or when you feel something.”
“Oh, I see. It is more difficult than you think.”
“Sure. You will probably get scolded a lot.”
There’s nothing you can’t understand
Isn’t he half-hypnotized for mind control now?
It was Albireo himself who took it upon himself to become a dance teacher.
Still, it was a bit burdensome, so I corrected my gaze.
“I will learn the basics without singing. The left foot moves forward, the right knee brushes the left knee, the right foot follows the right foot, and the left foot follows the right foot again.
These are the basic steps. Put your weight on your toes, not your heels. Whenever your heel touches the ground, only a light touch. One two three one two three. That’s right.”
Albireo is conducting classes to get rid of his blandness.
The two bodies move back and forth as if they had become one.
“I think it has a steel frame from the tailbone to the top of the head. I’m not saying to be stiff. Sometimes softly and flexibly, but in moderation. If a follower is a flower, a leader should be a straight stem.”
When Siwoo moves forward, Albireo steps back in reverse order.
Conversely, when Albireo advances, Siu retreats.
“It’s three beats, but it’s good to have a little time distribution. Take the first beat slightly longer, the second beat the longest, and the third beat the shortest. The weight transfer is as smooth as sliding on ice. The steps always consider the balance.”
After about 15 minutes.
Albireo gave a satisfied smile.
“Siwoo-kun, is it great?”
“This is the most basic part. You gave me your precious time, and I have to live up to this level.”
While practicing forward and backward steps, the handkerchief never fell to the floor.
There was no unseemly incident of getting each other’s feet tangled or losing their balance.
She is also a witch, but she is also a disciple of Tifereth, a master of martial arts.
Her sense of controlling her body has already far exceeded that of a criminal.
It was a waltz that made it seem as if Albireo had become one with no sense of incongruity at all.
“Anyway, don’t be overconfident.”
Albireo’s chestnut, laughing lightly, tapped Shiu’s forehead.
A moderately cheeky son-in-law.
No matter how you look at it, Shin Si-woo now looks awkward.
“It is still far from perfect. Keep your ears and shoulders as far apart as possible. It’s good to look good when you pull your neck out as much as possible. Shall we keep that in mind and try again?”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind. Previously…”
“Uh?”
At that time, Siwoo snatched the handkerchief that had been between the two of them a while ago from Albireo’s hand.
– Pat Pat
A handkerchief that quietly patted Albireo’s forehead.
A strangely seductive scent wafted through the sleeves of his shirt.
“You must be very hot. It seems to be summer soon.”
It was only then that Albireo realized that the identity of the moisture that welled up on his forehead was sweat.
However, this is a strange thing.
For Albireo, the lesson just now was the basics of the basics.
To think that the spiritual body was sweating with just this amount of exercise.
Albireo hurriedly looked at the side mirror.
Albireo Jemanai, unusually flushed like her flower, was looking at her with her surprised rabbit eyes.
