I led Eldora into the living room and plugged the USB flash drive containing Shiorinâs rehearsal videos into the TV monitor.
As he watched Shiorin and the others dancing, I asked him.
ââŠSo, what do you think?â
Eldora put a hand on his chin, seemingly deeply interested as he watched.
âHmm, theyâre really cautious, I should say! They dance while checking their each and every move. These girls seem to have only just started practicing dancing, so if they slowly get rid of this habit of theirs, Iâm sure theyâll get better!â
âThey werenât really cohesive as a team before this. They then studied from a textbook and used the DVD that came with it as reference for their dancing.â
I gave a rough background of Shiorin and the othersâ dancing proficiency.
âI see! So theyâre like, putting what they learnt into practice first and reestablishing their understanding of the basics! Hmm⊠the way I see it, the textbook theyâre using as reference also seems to be of high quality.â
âYou managed to discern even the quality of the bookâŠ?â
âWell, yeah. They seem to be following their textbook quite closely, after all. There are a lot of bad and fake textbooks in circulation out there, but this one is the real deal.â
As expected of Hasumi.
She mustâve researched very hard, filtering down books based on their reviews and reputation, before finally giving a credible book to Shiorin and the girls.
Knowing that her unseen labor was acknowledged by someone made me happy, even though I myself had no part in it.
If Hasumi heard Eldoraâs words just now, she might cry again⊠I might even cry too.
âAlright, bro! Tell me the names of each of these girls.â
âFrom left to right, thereâs Akarin, Shiorin, and Mihorin. By the way, they will have their all-important solo concert in one month, and they want to improve as much as possible before then. Also, they want to switch up their choreography and try something new.â
Even I thought that my request was a bit unreasonable as I spoke, but Eldora just laughed and patted his bulky chest.
âAlright! Iâll teach them some suitable choreography for their skill level; one thatâs cool, cute, special, and incorporates the latest trends! It wonât be that hard, so theyâll be able to learn it in no time! Lend me your backyard, bro, Iâll record a video for them to learn.â
Thus, Eldora and I worked together to create an instructional video containing a set of choreography moves to go along a full-length song.
In this video taken in my yard, Eldoraâs face was hidden with a cap and scarf so that people wouldnât recognize him as Eldora.
Those clothes coupled with his buff and well-trained body made him look completely like a gangster from overseas.
But, well, it is better than his true identity getting exposed, I guess.
Eldoraâs real face was actually quite stern and handsome, like a kabuki actor. The type that Japanese gals would go crazy for.
At school, Shion was overwhelmingly popular, but among the more badass, brawny types of men who loved brawling, Eldora was secretly seen as a strong manâs dream.
Incidentally, Eldora also practices capoeira (that is, Brazilian martial art), so heâs actually really strong in fights.
I think that, forget dancing, he could even be successful if he started a career in martial arts.
âââ
ââŠFinally done, huh. All I did was record the video though.â
âAhhh, great work back there!â
Immediately after we finished recording the instructional videoâ
Eldora, who was currently in disguise, was about to head out the front door to hang out with me when suddenly, he found a man in a suit waiting for him.
Then, Eldora, who was planning on taking me with him and running, was grabbed by the man.
Looks like this man is his manager⊠So, just as I expected, he did come here without permission.
After one last goodbye hug with Eldora, the man grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and took him away.
Well, if his concert is on the day after tomorrow, then of course his manager would be like that⊠Plus, the scale of the concert this time is totally different from his usual concerts in Japan.
I guess the manager was hired because he could always catch hold of Eldora any time.
He was a foreigner who looked even more formidable than Eldora.
Actually, Iâm pretty sure Iâve seen him at a martial arts tournament a long time ago.
I guess one must at the very least be on that level if theyâre dealing with Eldora, huhâŠ
