Chapter 403: A Trip to the Skating Rink
Handshake and holding hands are very similar, only the angles are different.
After subconsciously holding hands tightly, Shiroha Miki quickly reacted, felt ashamed, and wanted to let go.
Even if she had been looking forward to holding hands with Senior Kurosawa, her behavior was too direct, right?
However, just as she was about to pull her hand back, she was caught.
When she looked up again, she saw Senior Kurosawa turned his head and took her hand and walked away.
"What? What? What is this?"
Being pulled away by him, Shiroha Miki subconsciously followed his steps, looking at his back and the back of his head, a little confused.
But then, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and her delicate and fair face flushed.
In fact, not only boys would desire physical contact with girls, girls would also have similar ideas.
"You said you wanted to be my girlfriend yesterday, so directly and boldly, but you are so easily shy?"
Hikaru Kurosawa walked in front, slightly tilted his head and saw her blushing face with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but smile.
Boldness and shyness are actually not contradictory.
Boldness is courage, shyness is embarrassment.
When he came to the edge of the ice rink, Kurosawa Hikaru stopped, looked at the hard plastic protective cover under his feet, and looked back.
Faced with this situation, Miki Shiraha had to let go of his hand.
Then, the two stood at the entrance of the ice rink, holding the fence, raised one foot sideways, removed the hard plastic protective cover on the ground, and then threw it to the side where it would not block the road.
In fact, ice skates are divided into flower skates, ball skates, and speed skates according to different sports categories.
The ice blade of the flower skate is wider, with a groove in the middle, and the blade body has a larger arc, which is convenient for completing small radius turns and realizing various complex footwork.
Although the upper limit is higher, the lower limit is also high, which can meet the entertainment of most people on the ice.
Before, Kurosawa Hikaru and his group went to the Gaien Skating Rink to rent ice skates, all of which were flower skates, even when speed skating.
The moment Kurosawa Hikaru put on his skates, the skating experience card skill had already been activated. Standing on the ice, he felt like walking on flat ground, and even felt more graceful and stable than standing on the ground.
"How do you usually play?"
Stepping onto the ice rink, Kurosawa Hikaru stood steadily and asked.
Although he had a skating skill experience card, Miki Baiyu definitely knew the skating rink better than him.
"Skate for a while to get a feel for it, and then start daily training."
Miki Baiyu, who also walked onto the ice rink, answered obediently because his shyness had not completely subsided.
"For you, training is playing?"
"Playing figure skating is a process of learning and training. If you skate without a purpose, you will be confused."
"Indeed, it feels good to learn a new move."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and soon understood what she meant.
Thinking carefully, they had been on multiple dates before, and when a group of people were playing on the skating rink, although everyone interacted a lot, they were basically learning how to use skates and developing more moves.
Every kind of skating method, even standing still and bending over, will make people feel full of accomplishment.
"Yeah."
Finding that he could understand, Miki Shiraha immediately forgot about being shy and nodded happily.
"Then let's find the feeling first."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her smile and suggested starting.
Unlike her usual casual clothes, Miki Shiraha, wearing a coat, looked particularly stunning when she smiled, as if she was shining.
"Yeah."
Miki Shiraha nodded slightly, and then began to skate.
Her speed was very slow, just alternating between her left and right legs, skating like walking.
But even with such a simple movement, she gave people an extremely amazing feeling.
She seemed to have been living on the ice all the time, and the smooth skating was natural.
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru also followed her steps and walked with her.
Skating is similar to swimming. For ordinary people, it is completely contrary to the innate land walking, another form of exercise.
That's why most people who want to skate usually have to spend time to find the feeling.
However, Miki Shiraha and Kurosawa Hikaru were too familiar with skating. They found the feeling after just two steps.
"Kurosawa-senpai, your technique is really good."
Miki Shiraha turned around and looked at him, who looked good even when he was skating casually, and couldn't help saying.
In fact, she didn't dare to say one thing, that is, your body proportions and manners are too good.
Without complicated steps, with that outstanding appearance and skillful techniques, Kurosawa-senpai's posture on the ice is simply fairy-like.
This is still wearing rented adult ice skates. If he dressed up and wore customized matching ice skates, how handsome Kurosawa-senpai would be, she couldn't imagine.
"Can you see the technique like this?"
Kurosawa Hikaru watched her skating posture from a close distance and was caught by her performance.
Perhaps because she has been practicing dancing since she was a child, Miki-senpai has a good temperament and figure.
Whether the figure is good or not, you can't just look at the parts, but the whole.
Miki-sensei has a very thin and delicate figure, giving people an extremely light feeling. On the ice, she gives people the feeling that she is not skating at all, but more like flying.
"Of course, just like playing the piano, the difference between a novice and a master can be clearly seen when doing the same thing."
Sanmu Shiraha nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
"Indeed."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked around and looked at Sanmu Shiraha again, agreeing very much.
At this time, the ice was already a bit lively.
Maybe it was Monday, but during the summer vacation, there was no restriction or saying on which day of the week it was.
That's right, because of the time of changing clothes, warming up, and chatting, there were already more than 20 people on the ice.
Among them, there were quite a few young girls, and the number of boys was relatively small.
Regardless of their appearance, several girls could be seen as novices at a glance.
Because they were already tense even to keep their bodies completely stable, and it was impossible for them to skate gracefully and smoothly like Sanmu Junior Sister.
"Why are you looking at me and nodding?"
Originally, Sanmu Shiraha wanted to praise him, but he praised him back with his eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Is there anyone else who has the best skills in the whole venue besides you?"
"My current skills are not good."
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse."
"I'm not a camel."
"Then what are you?"
"I don't know."
"The elf on ice?"
"Don't mention this nickname..."
The two chatted while skating.
As they entered the venue, they caught everyone's attention for a while.
You know, figure skating is just like dancing, and the requirements for appearance are extremely strict.
This appearance is not just about the face, but also about the figure.
Whether it is Kurosawa Hikaru or Miki Shiraha, their appearance conditions are too superior, and even their looks are handsome men and beautiful women.
Because of this, even if they don't have gorgeous moves and show superb skills, just skating casually on the ice is already a big kill and amazing.
Originally, everyone was skating on their own. After all, this is a sport that requires a lot of concentration, and you will fall if you are not careful.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was attracted uncontrollably as if they had encountered a magnet.
"I remember, she's Miki."
Just now at the gate, I felt that the girl looked familiar. When I saw Miki Baiyu wearing a coat and putting her hair up, I immediately remembered her.
"Miki?"
Her friends had no idea about this name.
"She used to be very famous, known as the Hokkaido figure skating princess. She had three unique features: technique, talent, and looks. When I was a child in a figure skating training class, the teacher played her competition video for everyone to watch and learn."
"So amazing... What about that guy? Do you know who he is? He also looks very good at skating, and his aura is different."
Girls are not that interested in girls.
In fact, the opposite sex is the most attractive existence, not much less than gold, silver and treasures.
If gold, silver and treasures are more attractive, then it can only be that the opposite sex is not good enough.
"Then I don't know, maybe she is also a professional player?"
The girl who recognized Miki Baiyu was actually quite curious, but after seeing her appearance clearly, she still shook her head.
Athletes are different from celebrities. If they want to enter the vision of ordinary people, they must win the championship of phenomenal competitions, such as the Olympics and Asian Games.
Even more, even if an athlete wins the Olympic championship, others may not know you.
Although this skating rink is more affordable, the area of the venue is still smaller than that of the Gaien skating rink.
Skating around the rink, Miki Shiraha would occasionally make some moves to adapt to the various moves of figure skating.
"It's so beautiful, what is this move?"
Seeing her elegant and graceful moves, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but admire.
It has to be said that watching Miki Shiraha's figure skating is really a visual enjoyment.
"This is the swallow-style skating."
Miki Shiraha heard his praise and responded happily.
The feeling of being seen and recognized by the people you care about for your skills will give people a special sense of satisfaction.
In fact, people live in this world and are looking for two things throughout their lives.
One is a sense of value, and the other is a sense of belonging.
The sense of value comes from being affirmed.
A man will die for his confidant, and a woman will dress up for the man who pleases her. This is a similar mentality.
He wants his own value to be affirmed and wants to be praised by him.
"Is this the swallow style? Why is it different from what I learned?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised when he heard this answer.
"What kind of style did you learn?"
Miki Shiraha was a little curious.
In response to this question, Kurosawa Hikaru followed the movements that Yamamoto Daiki had done before and did a swallow style skate.
"Your is a non-supported swallow style step, and I just did a sword-lifting swallow style step. There are many kinds of swallow style steps, which can be regarded as advanced differences."
Miki Shiraha explained after watching his performance.
"I see, I thought he didn't do it standardly."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know much about the doorway, and he seemed to have some enlightenment.
When he dated Miki Shiraha, the skills he got were skating and ballet.
Although he can skate and should be able to dance ballet, he doesn't have much theoretical knowledge before the experience card becomes permanent.
If he is interested in figure skating, I am afraid that even if he completes the date task, he must practice and learn for a period of time.
Because the two skills of skating and ballet are combined to become figure skating... In other words, he just got the ticket to figure skating.
"who is he?"
Miki Baiha was a little curious about who his figure skating teacher was.
"This is the guy who competed with me in speed skating before."
Kurosawa didn't name it, just a brief summary.
"Oh...hasn't he always insisted on figure skating?"
Miki Baiha had some impression of this person. After all, he had seen Kurosawa-senpai's speed skating competition with others in the outer garden that day.
"He's not here. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he probably understood her subtext.
"The swallow step means that the player uses one side of the blade to glide on the ice, and raises the floating leg above the hip, so that he can be as elegant and graceful as a swallow... What he did was not very standard, and it was a little bit worse."
Miki Baiyu nodded slightly, and after a rigorous explanation, he expressed his opinion.
"Is it difficult to be like him?"
"It's still difficult, because it's easy to lose balance when gliding on one leg, and you have to raise your floating leg... How long did it take you to learn?"
"I'll know it after reading it once."
"oh oh."
"Why don't you compliment me on my talent?"
Kurosawa Hikaru originally thought that he would be pretty good as soon as he learned it, but seeing her mediocre reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"In the field of figure skating, the unsupported swallow is an entry-level move for novices. If the seniors are so good at skating, it is normal for them to learn it."
Miki Baiyu is well aware of how powerful his skills are, and is not surprised by this.
"Then is it difficult for you to do the Swallow Step with a Knife?"
"What do you think, senior?"
Miki Baiyu did not respond, but asked instead.
"It should be quite difficult... Just teach me a few moves that are difficult to see at a glance. After I learn them, I can open up that guy's eyes next time."
Facing her expectant gaze, Kurosawa Hikaru recalled her action of spreading her legs to the side and raising the knife across her neck. He laughed dumbly and asked for advice.
"OK."
Upon hearing his request, Miki Baiyu did not shirk, but nodded happily.
"Miki-sensei, what should I do next?"
I found that she seemed to be looking forward to the teaching session, and Kurosawa Hikaru quickly entered the scene.
"Take my hand and raise your legs behind your back first to see how flexible you are."
Seeing his serious look, Miki Baiyu also plucked up the courage to say.
She is really looking forward to the teaching session, because under normal circumstances, figure skating should avoid physical contact with people as much as possible.
Like now, she has a reasonable excuse to have physical contact with her senior.
"good."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the hand she extended and shook it again.
"I'll take you to slide slowly, don't be anxious, stabilize your center of gravity first and then float your legs."
Holding his hand again, Miki Baiyu's heartstrings rippled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Skating hand in hand with Kurosawa-senpai has appeared in her dreams a long time ago since she confirmed her love for him. Now, it can be said that it is a dream come true.
As she slid back, Kurosawa Hikaru held her Qianqiansu hand and was led by her to slide forward, and the system's voice sounded in his ears:
Mission progress update: [Let her hold your hand and skate together] has been achieved.
Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru lowered his eyes and looked at Miki Shirayu's soft and delicate lips.
Because if he remembered correctly, his date mission with Miki Baiyu only had one mission goal left, so it was considered completed.
The final mission goal is [Let her kiss your face]
