Chapter 26 A Frog in a Well
"Nakajima?"
Mizuki never expected this to happen.
The deal fell through.
With just this one sentence, she could conclude that Nakajima Hiroshi had absolutely no idea how difficult the dance was.
Moreover, this choreography has never been publicly performed, so it's impossible for Nakajima Hiroshi to have practiced it beforehand.
"Mr. Shigeru Yoshioka, he..."
"ha!"
Shigeru Yoshioka looked as if he had heard the best joke of the year, and the few remaining hairs on his bald head seemed to tremble.
"one day!?"
"I'll say it again, I'm giving you a month. If either of you can quit, I, Shigeru Yoshioka, will be at your office whenever I call!"
"You wanted me to sign, right? Fine!"
"But if you can't jump, then in a month, obediently hand this child over to me. Do you dare?"
It was impossible for Nakajima Hiroshi to jump down. He could tell from a glance that the guy had absolutely no dance background.
It's a complete joke.
That's for the best, so that this clueless guy won't waste the girl's good looks.
"Asuka, do you believe me?"
Nakajima Hiroshi turned to Asuka.
He wasn't sure if this would work out. Even if he could share the other person's talent through the system, the dance was clearly not designed for his body type.
However, even if it fails, that will be a month from now, while the deadline for disclosing the purpose is only eleven days.
As long as Asuka is willing to gamble with me, then I can go all in on this!
Because other choreographers would likely have the same concerns.
As I said before, time is of the essence, so we must seize every opportunity!
"Yes, Nakajima!"
but……
Looking at the figure on the screen, which was clearly that of a young girl.
It's hard to imagine either the overweight Shigeru Yoshioka or the tall and slender Hiroshi Nakajima dancing this...
and many more!
That girl, no, that boy, the girl...
That girl is Ms. Yoshioka Shigeru!?
Asuka also fell into a daze.
Only Mizuki still tried to stop it: "Nakajima, you have no idea how difficult this dance is!"
"We agree, please sign here, Mr. Yoshioka Shigeru."
"Alright, alright! I'd like to see how you're going to perform this dance!"
He grabbed a pen, signed his name in a flourish, and stamped it firmly.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the contract signing mission. Sharing the other party's talents..."
Nakajima Hiroshi leaned back on the sofa, holding his breath, waiting for the excruciating pain to strike.
He already had experience from the last physical modification.
Wait, it seems like physical modification wasn't mentioned this time...
However, a vast amount of knowledge quickly flooded into his mind.
The videotape of "Electric Mouse Fantasy" was quickly broken down into muscle memory, beat points, and... creative insights!
He could even understand the core concept of the dance, as if he had choreographed it himself!
Even without watching the entire videotape, Nakajima Hiro knew all the subsequent actions.
Without a doubt, once you get used to it a few times, you can even jump it out using your own body!
However, muscle strains are inevitable.
It is designed based on a flexible body, and without any corresponding training, the dance would probably be very painful.
The video playback ended quickly.
Shigeru Yoshioka snorted and slammed the videotape in front of Hiroshi Nakajima.
"Go back and practice hard. Keep the contract with me for now. Come back to me when you've thought things through!"
"By the way, keep my videotape safe, it's a rare find..."
Hiroshi Nakajima took the videotape, but instead of putting it in his bag, he put it back into the machine.
"Excuse me."
The melody began.
The three of them widened their eyes instantly.
Although it's incongruous for Nakajima Hiroshi, with his tall stature, to make such girlish movements...
But this is undoubtedly the dance that just played!
His movements were somewhat stiff, a result of the mismatch between the memories in his mind and his body.
But soon, the movements gradually became more coordinated.
From this moment on, every complex cross step, the angle of hip twist, and even the wink during high-speed rotation has been reproduced one-to-one!
"This, this is impossible!"
Shigeru Yoshioka slapped himself hard across the face.
pain.
It's true, I'm not dreaming.
It's a ghost! It's a ghost!
Even he wouldn't jump out after seeing it only once!
No, that's impossible. It's a hallucination; it must be due to excessive stress.
me……
This.
Mizuki Onodera was also dumbfounded.
She has formally studied dance and knows the level of training required for this dance.
Moreover, Mizuki could also tell that Nakajima Hiro had never had any dance training...
She's not sure now either.
Perhaps there exists a dance style in this world that doesn't alter one's physique?
Or perhaps, Nakajima Hiroshi possesses extraordinary athletic talent.
wrong.
This isn't just a matter of innate talent; it's also about an astonishing memory. Having only seen something once, he can perfectly replicate every detail, even the facial expressions…
She looked at Shigeru Yoshioka in disbelief, only to see that he also had a petrified expression, before stiffly turning to Hiroshi Nakajima.
It was a dream...
Yes, it must have been a dream.
Take a deep breath, Mizuki. You're dreaming right now. You've been under too much pressure lately. Forget about it, forget...
"puff."
Only Asuka doesn't understand what this means.
She just thought Nakajima Hiroshi's behavior was ridiculous.
After all, a 1.8-meter-tall girl in a suit is still too ahead of its time.
Wow, that's amazing! I didn't remember most of the moves...
She blankly followed Nakajima Hiro's gestures, but couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
Of course, this isn't Asuka's fault; being able to replicate even a few moves already demonstrates her talent in this area.
With the final movement frozen in time, Nakajima Hiroshi let out a soft sigh of relief.
pain……
This dance is indeed very demanding on the body; many of the movements are forced out of the body by relying on misaligned muscle memory.
If it weren't for his strong will, he probably would have stopped halfway.
"hiss……"
Taking advantage of his pain, Nakajima Hiroshi gave Yoshioka Shigeru a way out.
"Mr. Shigeru Yoshioka, I was arrogant. This dance does indeed require a high level of physical fitness."
Do you have any medicine for external injuries? It seems like I've twisted my ankle a bit.
"have."
Shigeru Yoshioka hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and answered instinctively.
Yes, yes, yes!
"Mizuki, quickly help Nakajima-sensei sit down, I'll go get the medicine!"
As he spoke, he tiptoed and hurriedly rushed into the inner room.
Nakajima Hiroshi did indeed sprain his knee. He rubbed his knee and frowned as he looked at the sofa.
The two women quickly got up to help him up, and then sat down next to him, one on each side.
"Nakajima, I never knew you could dance!"
Asuka, her face beaming with excitement, hugged Nakajima Hiroshi tightly, completely unaware of how close she was.
She knew nothing about dance, only that Nakajima's imitation was very good and he looked very impressive.
"Nakajima..."
Mizuki still felt like she was dreaming, or at least hallucinating.
This defies common sense.
"Mr. Nakajima, I'm so sorry, I never imagined you would choose to dance when I was selecting the dance..."
"Considering your physical condition, you definitely wouldn't choose this kind of dance music!"
Shigeru Yoshioka completely shed his contempt.
Just kidding, he knows perfectly well the value of his dance.
This thing is only used to intimidate others, unless Asuka is truly a god...
No, it's just that I'm ignorant. I didn't expect someone could replicate it after seeing it only once.
This is really...
If Hiroshi Nakajima is this terrifying, what kind of genius must the candidate he has chosen be!
How could she have the audacity to say she was afraid he would delay Asuka's arrival?
That's a joke!
Outrageous!
A frog in a well, looking at the sky from the bottom!
"Please allow me to apply the medicine for you as an apology!"
"Mr. Nakajima!"
