[Ballet Elite] Rondo of Dreams

?Moscow, covered by ice and snow, is gradually revealing spring, and it's time for me to embark on the road to England.

Teacher Serkeyev, Kusakabe, Aoi, and Kyogoku, who was still wearing a cane, all came to see me off at the airport, and Kyogoku whispered thank you in my ear.

I covered my face in shame, and when I was about to board the plane, someone ran over calling my name.

"Huh? Liliana? Are you coming to see me off too?" I greeted her in surprise.

"Yeah... on the road...traffic jam...it's so easy to be with you...friend..." I still understood part of her crackling Russian.After this period of time, in an environment where I speak Russian every day, my Russian, which is so bad at home, has finally improved!

"Thank you, Liliana." I hugged her. Although the two of us often talk about each other, fortunately, we have a good relationship and get along very well.

"By the way...a gift...a gift." Liliana took out a small bag and handed it to me, "The plane...open..."

Mysterious gift?I thanked me with a smile and put it in my bag. As the boarding announcement came, the moment of parting came.

"Teacher, then I'm leaving!" I was a bit reluctant to leave for England, but luckily I would be back in a month.

Teacher Serkeyev grabbed my arm just like the time at the Japanese airport, "Margaux Fonteyn is from the UK, and so is Nureyev! Although she is over 50 years old, she is still called For the greatest ballet dancer of this century, and Nureyev who is called the reincarnation of Nikiskin! Use your eyes and look carefully!"

"Yes."

"No matter how good a course is, if you don't open your heart to accept it, you will never learn it! Listen, learn it with your eyes and soul!"

"Yes, it is!"

"Go," the teacher let go of me, "I'll wait for you in Moscow!"

"Yes!" With a firm answer that I have never had before, I burst into the brightest smile, "I'm leaving! Goodbye everyone!"

Liliana's gift was candy and a letter. I finally read it half-understood through the dictionary, and it turned out that it was written by Larissa.It was about taking back what she had said to me before, but at the same time admitting frankly that she didn't like my dancing.

I laughed and leaned back. It turned out that Larissa is such a straightforward person, which is really interesting.

However, after learning the lesson from this time, one month later, she will definitely be a more difficult opponent.Therefore, I can't lose her, I have to work harder.

Besides, the teacher also said that he is waiting for me!

Huh?

I just discovered now that Mr. Serkeyev's voice is a very pleasant baritone, especially when he is not yelling at me and speaking in a low voice.

For example, he said: I am waiting for you in Moscow!

Staring at the roof of the plane in a daze, for a while, I covered my hot face and wanted to slide under the chair, my God, what was I thinking! !

When I got off the plane, I had a map of London in one hand and an English-Japanese dictionary in the other. I looked left and right, subway, bus... How can I get to the Royal Ballet Academy?

Otherwise, ask the next way?Although my English is broken, I can still ask for directions!

While I was struggling with my brain, a horn sounded. I turned around and saw Fernant's familiar face protruding from the car window, "Masumi, I'm here to pick you up!"

"Fernant!" I cheered and jumped into the car, "Great, saved!"

"I knew it would be like this. It was like this in Moscow." Fernand had an expected expression.

"Ahem, my Russian is relatively broken, but it has improved a lot now, and my English is better than Russian!"

"Okay, then you can find the way by yourself." He gestured to open the car door.

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, Fernand is a good man! Please forgive my mistake!"

"Hahahaha, come on, everyone is waiting for you." Fernant started the car.

"Wait for me?" I looked at him puzzled.

"That's right, this time in our class presentation, you're going to dance——"The Crooked Pony"!"

"Ah? Ah? Ah! Ah!"

As soon as I arrived at school and met my classmates, I was immediately dragged to change clothes.

"Me, me? Do you really want me to dance "The Crooked Pony"?" I pulled the fake ears on my hat, and said a little uneasy.

"Haha, that's right. This role must be cute but not beautiful. Look at everyone in our class, none of them are suitable, only you are the most suitable! Look, it really looks like a pony!" Fernan Te patted my shoulder hard.

"..." Fernand, I hate you!

The practice at the presentation meeting of the class for international students was very interesting. Everyone did everything by themselves, which shocked a person like me who can only dance, but I also learned a lot.

The student dormitory of the Royal Ballet is not bad, but my roommate went home today, and it is said that I can see her tomorrow.

One night in England, I was a little lonely, I don’t know what everyone is doing now, Kyogoku, Kusakabe, Aoi, Yuka... And, Mr. Serkeyev...

Early the next morning, I was woken up by a familiar voice. When I opened my eyes, I sat up immediately, "Sid, Sidony?!" Could it be that she is my roommate? ?

I got it right, but I'm not happy at all.

I hope Sidoni can get along better!

The courses of the Royal Ballet School are very closely arranged, and many of them are courses that I have never taken.

God, I've never touched a piano in two lifetimes, why is there a piano in a ballet school?Huh... and history, that pile of English, I almost fainted...

Fortunately, during lunch, Fernand gave me tickets to "Romeo and Juliet" performed by Margaux Fontaine and Nureyev, which healed all my traumas.

These two are the ones that Mr. Serkeyev asked me to keep my eyes open and learn with my eyes and soul...

In fact, Sidoni is much easier to get along with than I imagined. After the day's practice, I happened to watch her dance the firebird. After returning to the dormitory, she would discuss her experience with me on this topic. Although some did not understand, it was still very rewarding. Sure enough, sometimes discussion is also a way of progress.

In anticipation, "Romeo and Juliet" started. Unlike the tension I felt watching Yoko Morishita last time, I was brought into the world of Margaux Fonteyn's ballet almost from the very beginning.

She's playing Juliet... no, she's not playing Juliet, she's already Juliet, that 14-year-old girl who loves Romeo so much and is willing to die for him!

"Is this how you feel?" Sitting in the dining room, Fernand listened to my thoughts on "Romeo and Juliet".

"Yes, I don't know if it's right, but it's the first time I feel this way!"

"You feel right! That's Juliet," Fernand said affirmatively. "We usually dance and act like it. Although some people are good at dancing, you will feel that the likeness is real." Yes, but that is fake after all. Margaux Fontaine is the one who can transform into a character in the play. This kind of person is very rare in the world. To reach this level, it depends on the creativity of dancers! If you are not creative, your whole life will be false!"

I got goosebumps when I heard it, "It's so scary!"
