"Straighten your waist, relax your shoulders, head down, put your tongue on your palate, put your hands on your front knees, and put your left hand down. This is the basic sitting posture. Keep it for 10 minutes. If you relax within the time period, double the time. "The teak old lady said sternly.

"Yes!"

There was a bowl of water in Qiansaki's hand, if she made a big move, the water in her hand would definitely shake violently, which meant that the time would be doubled.

She secretly complained, this kind of study is really painful, but she dare not refute, anyway, the other party is an elder, her manners are lacking, but she can still do well in terms of manners.

She was wearing a light blue kimono, and sitting there quietly was considered a rare quiet beauty.Of course Chisaki herself didn't prepare this, but grandma is different. Grandma brought the kimono when she came to arrange the old lady teak, so Chisaki just needs to come by herself.Qiansaki was actually very speechless, she was an active child, she was not used to wearing this kind of quiet clothes at all, so, for her, this was really a kind of torture.

"It was too big just now. After 10 minutes, continue for 10 minutes."

"Yes."

She wanted to cry, but she didn't do it on purpose, but she had never sat in such a quiet and upright posture for more than ten minutes. It's normal to feel uncomfortable.However, the old lady teak wood is really not polite.

According to the plan the old lady made for her, Chisaki spent three hours studying etiquette every day, and for the first three hours, she did only this kind of thing, sitting all the time.When the old lady let her go, for a while, she couldn't bend down anymore.

The old lady asked her to go back after eating, Qiansaki wanted to refuse, but the old lady gave her a cold look.She was so silent that she didn't dare to make any other sounds, so she nodded weakly.

After the study is over, it is dusk.The courtyard of the teak house is very large, and the pond in the special atrium is shining with golden light in the evening light, which is very beautiful.After changing her kimono, Chisaki sat down against a pillar under the veranda of the atrium. Now that the old lady is not here, she won't know even if she is not sitting properly, so it doesn't matter.

"You must be tired, Chisaki-chan." The girl came from the Japanese room behind her.

"Ah, oh, it's Xiaoya."

Xiaoya, also known as Yumuya, is the sister of Yuki-senpai.She was beautiful, very much like a fine French doll.Her smile is very warm, although Yuki-senpai always smiles at ordinary times, but the feeling is subtly different.The two of them spoke very politely in front of the old lady, but now that the old lady was no longer there, their voices were a little off, but they still didn't dare to make their voices too loud.

"Grandma is very strict." She sat down beside Chisaki.

"Fortunately, I just feel that my body is a little stiff. In other words, I really admire you all. You can sit in such a posture at any time. Not only does it not feel stiff, but it is also very elegant."

"It's all from training since I was a child. In contrast, I basically don't have any athleticism. Unlike Chisaki-chan, my tennis skills are top-notch."

"It's not such an exaggeration. My tennis skills are still not good enough, but I will continue to work hard until I am satisfied."

Xiaoya smiled: "Well, I will cheer for you too. Can you let me know when the next game is going, and I will cheer for you."

"Okay, okay, if someone cheers me on, I will be more motivated."

When they were chatting very speculatively, senior teak wood came over.It was a little different from usual, he was wearing a plain kimono, his long lavender hair was tied behind his head, and there was a faint smile on his face.If he is usually gentle and elegant, his current appearance is a bit stern.From Chisaki's point of view, this appearance of Yuuki-senpai is closer to his original personality.

"What are you talking about, we're going to eat soon."

"Well, we'll be there right away." Xiaoya stood up and held out her hand to Qiansaki, "Let's go."

"Okay." She supported Xiaoya's hand and stood up. Xiaoya was really thoughtful. She still feels a little uncomfortable in her current body. Of course it is possible to stand up by herself, but it must be more difficult than it is now.

"Then let's go, Chisaki-chan, are you okay?" Senior Yuzuki asked with concern.

"It's okay, thank you senior for your concern."

They ate by kneeling and sitting at the long low table, because the teakwood old lady was sitting in charge, and she didn't dare to make any noise when eating.The silence at the dinner table was surprising. If there was any non-standard posture, the old lady would still stare at her. The meal was eaten with trepidation, and it was finally over without any danger.

However, Chisaki felt like crying but her feet were completely numb again.But even so, it must be ensured that there will be no mistakes. For Chisaki, this is definitely the most painful torture.

After dinner, it was completely dark outside, Chisaki wanted to walk home by herself.However, Senior Teak Wood said that he would ask the housekeeper and driver to take her off anyway, and the old lady also said the same, so that she didn't even know how to find the reason.

So, the next day, Chisaki got up, only to find that her whole body was sore.It seems that the body is not his own at all. It has been a long time since the excessive tennis training.

"What's wrong with you, Chisaki, it's like your bones have softened."

At the dining table in the school cafeteria, Chisaki almost ate on her stomach.Hino was puzzled after seeing this situation, and then thought of another possibility——

"How did the teak old lady train you? Was it very painful?"

"Very quiet training method."

"Quiet?"

"It's just the way of sitting upright, for three hours at a time, that's all."

She said the words "nothing more than that" very emphatically.

"Three hours? Keep a very upright posture?" Hino was surprised. If it was her, she would definitely not be able to do it.It should be said that if someone who is doing this for the first time is asked to do it, he will definitely not be able to do it.

"Well, if the water in the bowl on your hand is accidentally shaken or spilled, the time will be doubled."

Hino patted her on the shoulder: "It's really hard for you."

"Sister, don't stand and talk without back pain. By the way, how is your violin learning now? I haven't heard it for a long time."

"There is still time, why don't we go to the music classroom now and I will play for you?"

"Okay, okay." Chisaki jumped up excitedly, but the next moment, "It hurts——"

"Really, who made you so careless. I'll help you there."

Hino played "Canon", which is a piece she has played in concerts. Although it is different now and then, in Chisaki's ears, Hino's performance is better than ever before Yes, it's smooth and dripping, basically there are no mistakes.It is not easy to make such great progress in a short period of time. She has played the violin before, and she understands how hard it is. Therefore, she admires Hino even more.Not only has a heart that loves the violin, but also has the courage to persevere.

At the end of the song, Chisaki involuntarily applauded for her.

Chisaki's favorite is "Canon Song". It's not too complicated. The relaxed tune can always release people from fatigue easily. The warm feeling is her favorite.

"Senior Kahoko is amazing, she has made great progress."

"Hehe, I also want to thank Chisaki for your help."

"Um?!"

"Didn't you give me the music score you made up yourself for practicing fingering? It really helped me a lot."

"You don't need to be so polite, it's good if I can help you." She scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Recently Mr. Kanazawa asked me to consider whether to join the music department. I am hesitating." Hino forced a smile. She really likes the violin, but she has no idea whether joining the music department is good or not.

"How does Kahoko-senpai feel about the current situation?"

"Very good, through my own study, and then mark what I don't understand and go to the violin classroom to ask Teacher Reiko."

"Well, let's do it, senior. Although you can learn a lot in the music department, but by learning by yourself and asking questions actively, you can really remember more things that are useful to you. Because in the process Among them, senior sisters have their own thinking and understanding, which is more useful than passively accepting what the teacher teaches you. Of course, senior sisters can consider joining music-related clubs."

"join the community?"

"Well, like the orchestra. Of course, this is just a little suggestion from me, and the senior sister has to decide how to do it."

"Oh no, what you said makes sense. Let me try then."

"Since you plan to join the club, how about looking further away?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like targeting the principal violinist in our school orchestra."

"What? No way, I'm just a general student. There are so many people with better violin skills than me. How could it be possible?" Hino quickly waved his hands.

"I said senior sister, you have to show confidence. Don't even think about it, you are actually very good. You have never touched the violin before the concert, but now it is less than a year, and your violin level is just above With such progress. This is not something everyone can do. Although I don’t know why the senior sister started to learn the violin, I believe that the senior sister I have seen has been working hard. If you deny yourself Isn’t that even more hopeless? No matter what the result is, it’s always right to work hard in this direction.”

Hino lowered her head and thought about it, she nodded: "Yes, yes. I have to work hard with my violin, and I must not let it down?" She looked at her beloved violin with a smile on her face.

Chisaki didn't want to stop her tennis training by learning etiquette, so she called Tezuka.

"Hey, Tezuka. Do you have time between eight and ten?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"I was thinking, if it's possible, can you go to the club with me for tennis training during this period of time. Maybe this will last longer—" If you refuse, it is also acceptable.

-

After a long silence, Chisaki closed her eyes and waited for the trial.

"it is good."

The answer on the phone is affirmative.

"Huh?!" Agreed?

"Ah, thank you so much, Tezuka. See you at the club at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Ok!"
