Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:VolumeEF Chapter7 (section)

===Part 4===

News of the Academy holding a giant event instantly spread. Everyone who wanted to enter all crowded at the Sylphid Knights headquarters to register.

In any case, credit earned at the Elemental Festa would be added to their usual points, while emerging victorious could receive a blessing from top-tier spirits.

However, among the participants there were probably girls who wanted to attract attention as idols, to shine on stage too&mdash;

"...It feels like it's developed into something big."

Seeing the huge crowd gathered in front of the cathedral, Claire commented in surprise.

"Hmph, numerous rivals merely serve to motivate me more."

"Hey, we will be training over there, hurry&mdash;"

"I-I know."

Fianna was calling out from the center of the plaza. Claire and the girls obediently went over.

Indeed, no kidding, Fianna was an elite princess maiden from the Divine Ritual Institute. Undergoing harsh training since early childhood, she was truly an expert on kagura.

In terms of kagura talent alone, she would rank higher than the lecturers at the Academy. Under her instruction, Team Scarlet's kagura would surely reach a higher level of perfection than any other team&mdash;

"...I'm surprised. This could very well work."

Sitting on a bench to watch the young ladies training, Kamito remarked leisurely.

From what he could see, they all had excellent potential.

Claire and Rinslet were prodigies who were quick on the uptake. Although he was slightly worried about Ellis, who looked like dance was not her strength, Kamito knew very well that she was amazingly hardworking. No matter how harsh the training, she would grit her teeth and muster every ounce of her strength to push through&mdash;

"Kamito, can I eat this?"

"Yeah."

Kamito handed a lunch box of meatballs to Est, who was sitting rigidly beside him.

Chew chew... The sword spirit expressionless placed a meatball in her mouth.

Kamito was suddenly struck with curiosity and asked.

"Oh right, Est, you're on the receiving side of kagura offered to you by humans. What kind of dancing do you like?"

"..."

Est stared off into space, lost in thought&mdash;

"It starts with 'cappa'."

"Huh?"

"I like the one that starts with 'cappa'."

"...Umm, how does the dance go?"

"Cappa~, cappa cappa~, cappa~, dish on the head~, cappa~..."

Apparently enjoying herself(?), Est sang expressionlessly.

(...Hmm, I don't really understand Est's sensibilities.)

Fianna's strict voice could be heard from the plaza on this leisurely afternoon.

"First are the basic forms. Express yourselves like flowing water, like a powerful waterfall!"

"What the heck, that's too abstract!"

"Incomprehensible!"

"L-Like a waterfall would be... like this? Ho, ho..."

Ellis awkwardly twisted her body with doubt on her face.

"WRONG! A waterfall is like this, watch, dance more passionately!"

...It looked like things were more difficult than I had imagined.
