(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Practice Makes Perfect

While she may have promised to teach them to dance, he still had his obligations to her. Tending to the flowers, he looked over at the two chatting up a storm. They seemed to be getting along. In the shade, no less. It was still May, so the hottest days were still ahead them. Something that he was not looking forward to in the slightest.

"All right you two, I'm done now." He brought back his dirty tools to them. Using the hose to clean them off, he asked what they were talking about.

"Oh not much. Erina was just telling about this boy named Yogi."

"Of course she was." It was like she was a music player stuck on repeat. "Did you talk about the dance?"

"Nope, we were waiting for you to finish first." Erina answered.

"You know, it would've been done sooner if you helped."

"Not my job." She replied in her singsong voice. She always did it to mock him. Hine looked over their bickering, smiling all the way.

"Let's get started, shall we?" She grabbed their attention with a simple statement. She knew that they were driven to their goal.

The first thing she had to do was explain to them how this dance went. In this dance, the students were going to begin with partners of their choosing, assuming they had a choice. However, once they started, one would change dance partners by transferring between pairs.

The skill needed to do that perfectly was beyond what normal humans could do, especially with complete strangers. So she told them that mistakes were bound to happen, and not to worry to much about them.

All this would be happening under the eyes of the school's first years, primarily. Of course other students were encouraged to enjoy the show, but in the end, it was going to be voted on by the first years.

"Sounds like this is going to be harder than I thought." He said. "Also with people where most, if not all, have no experience dancing. Being able to get them to vote for Erina and Yogi is going to be downright impossible."

"True, but I think that those students aren't voting for dancing skills anyway."

"What do you mean?" Asked Erina.

"I mean that there's a lot to dancing that the two of you clearly don't know about." She explained. "While solo skills can be impressive. Something like dancing in pairs, there's more than just knowing the right moves. You have to understand your partner, or else it'll all just be a mess."

"I imagine that even if you got the two best dancers, if they weren't in sync, it would look pretty bad." He commented. Knowing this, only filled him with more doubt on them being successful in their training.

"We only have a few days until the dance. Do you really think we can do it?" Erina asked.

"Oh I'm sure you two will be fine. After all, you'll have more time than I did when I was preparing for it myself." He thought that this confidence was misplaced, but he was still going to try his best. He was certain that Erina felt the same way. "Alright you two. Get together and start dancing."

"Huh? Is that really the way to learn how to dance. Just do it without any preparation?"

"Well actually, it's not like I've ever taught dance. So I don't know." She laughed, maybe this was a mistake to ask her. "Go ahead, don't be shy now."

Easy for her to say. She wasn't going to dance with some girl that she disliked. Erina was equally as nervous. They grasped each others hands, looking her in the eye was almost too much for him.
