What the dancers feel - 1

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: We have our first request from Tokushima's Chamber of Commerce! They're apparently so busy they'd borrow a cat's paw if they could.

Son: Yay! Congratulations!

Kar: What's there to congratulate? We're going to be working! So, what did they want?

Fuu: They need people to guide visitors around for the Awa dance festival. The festival's going to be huge, so they need all the help they can get.

Gin: Ooh, Awa dance! I've heard about it! Never seen it, though.

Wak: It was famous back in the Christian Era too.

Mit: Even I know that Tokushima's Awa dance festival is a spectacle. Not that I've ever seen it myself...

Uta: Well, it's basically the same as danse de Bon, right?

Chi: Danse de Bon? ...Oh, you mean the Bon dance.

SON: Apparently it's different from the Bon dance. Let's watch a video.

Tam: Whoa!? W-What's this... What about this looks like the Bon dance?

Sum: Instead of dancing around the yagura tower, they're proceeding in a straight line down the streets, all while dancing...

Hin: I've read that there are a lot of dance troupes that unite dancers taking part in the festival.

Hin: They come from every area and parade down the streets. It seems they also show off their dancing skills at the allocated spaces.

Its: The video makes it look like there's a whole lot of people, both dancing and watching...

Tou: This is far beyond the scope of any festival held here in Sanshuu. Will we manage?..

Yuu: Yeah... We've helped out with festivals before, but it was just setting up the venue. We've never guided visitors around before.

Tak: We should do some research into this. I don't know much about the Awa dance.

Sek: The Awa dance came to be when the Tokushima castle was finished, and the reigning lord told everyone to dance as they wished in celebration.

Sum: Sekka-san, your knowledge in castle-related matters is impressive as always.

Kar: Dance as you wish, huh... Tall order there.

Nat: But... That's what dances originally are.

Wak: Natsume-san? You've been watching the video really keenly, did you notice something?

Nat: Everyone... looks like they're having a lot of fun. This is my first time seeing it, but it looks like a wonderful festival.

Yuu: Of course! Natsume-san is our expert on dances! Here she is, a person we can rely on!

Nat: Eh? No, but... I've never been to an event that involves so many people...

Anz: But I'm sure you'll still be able to pay more attention to the details than anyone else here.

Uta: Exacta! We'll do everything we can to help, so could you please be in charge of the things?

Nat: No, giving me an important role like this is...

Its: Natsume-san, please! Watching this video made me kind of worried...

Son: Pretty please?

Sek: How about it, Natsume-san? You're probably the only person here who understands how dancers feel.

Chi: Do the dancers' feelings have anything to do with guiding the visitors?..

Nat: They... do. Got it... I'll take this job.

Fuu: Alright, then Natsume will be in charge of planning this project.

Nat: Alright.
