The fact that the person you’re talking behind their back is living an honest life is already unpleasant at that point.

If you keep hitting something on the bulletin board every day, you’ll understand it, right?

It’s frustrating that there’s no resolution with the people who gossip behind your back; it’s the default situation.

The reason why names, appearances, and settings are not established is precisely because discussions about whether to come to a conclusion or not are not worth having for the author.

>>7

If it comes to this, it’s still better.

Once you are labeled as an enemy, many parents will continue to nitpick endlessly.

>>7

Those who can change their stance easily are the ones on top.

I thought there was something different about you compared to the other kids since the first time I saw you, or something like that.

>>12

If you can get there, in a way, you are invincible compared to any main character.

If you could go confront the author, editor, and readers in the style of Deadpool, it would be perfect.

There may have been other kids who could have improved if they had received guidance from Teacher Shi.

From here on, Hikaru-chan’s words and actions are too radiant.

Inori-san will explode in growth from here…

Parents ultimately think their own children are the cutest, so anything that disrupts that is seen as an enemy.

>>19

Those who interfere with my favorite are thinking the same as the enemy, so I can relate.

I don’t understand what it means to say it so that it can be heard.

In fact, because Dr. Shi has good eyesight, it seems that he could quickly identify and point out issues when guiding other children.

Well, since her eyesight is too good, she might quickly notice that child’s limits.

It’s unfair to be overtaken by someone who started later, isn’t it?

It must feel great, huh?

From the start, Lux Higashiyama itself is a club that focuses more on dance than on singles, so I feel that being a part of this place and being jealous of Inori-san is misguided.

The teachers who recognized Inori-chan’s talent are amazing and turn the tables.

Let’s just get it done quickly.

>>27

However, even amateurs know that there’s a bit of a talent barrier with quad jumps, so the number of voices there will probably decrease.

But it seems that Teacher Tsukasa also praises other kids with all his might…

They make you keep doing the basics over and over, so the popularity is what it is.

I think Inori Mama has been isolated and has remained ostracized from the village all this time.

>>30

Inori Mama is also on the introverted side…

It’s not so much backbiting, but rather an evaluation that was natural for the time…

>>31

Well, it’s content that would be tough for a child to hear… but I wouldn’t expect them to know that the person is listening in secret…

After this, one person will excel in the tournament, so rather, the hatred is likely to worsen.

First, it was Doctor Hitomi who placed the nail in first.

It’s quite bad that Teacher Tsukasa isn’t following that either.

It might be more convincing to say that we’re treating them specially because they have a unique talent and are being assertive about it.

>>36

Well, even if I seem to accept it on the surface, my trust in the club may decline…

After all, no matter the reason, parents think their own children are adorable and want to keep an eye on them.

I’m sure you have a personal coach contract now, but until I heard that you wanted to become number one at the Olympics, it was probably the usual path.

Well, back then, the coach had almost no track record, so to be honest, I wouldn’t really want to learn from Coach Shi.

>>40

I don’t particularly want to learn, but if I was obviously being treated specially, that would be annoying, I guess…

>>40

It seems that the lack of other students indicates that the parents’ reception is quite poor.

I think they’re probably being criticized on social media and forums.

If I’m paying a high price, I can at least complain a little.

>>44

I wonder how much the monthly fee is.

>>108

If you roughly research, for beginners who don’t participate in competitions, it would be around 20,000 yen per month.

At the novice level, it seems that the total cost for private lessons and other expenses is around 200,000 yen per month.

>>129

Wow… I heard there’s also a separate appreciation fee for this, but you can’t keep it up unless you’re wealthy…

It’s really just some light gossip.

After all, I’m paying for personal lessons with Teacher Tsukasa, as mentioned in the bonus comic of the first volume.

I think a big part of it is simply that it has grown immensely in a short period of time.

There are definitely kids who gave up and quit after seeing Inori-chan’s explosive growth, so well…

Mr. Shi is not the type to show favoritism, but his reactions are just too honest…

Inori Mama seems to be under some pressure, as she might be experiencing some snide remarks from other mothers in her social circle.

>>51

Actually, I can only get along well with the boy Sota’s mom.

I think it must be unbearable for the mob parents, considering that even readers who are more inclined towards Inori-san or Tsukasa-sensei sometimes have moments of shock.

It just seems that Professor Tsukasa is always closely involved in the depiction, but I feel like he is not only guiding others as well.

It means that they were sliding together while waiting for their turn with the other kids.

>>53

The children adore me, but what about the adults?

There was a depiction of a child quitting because their talent for light was just too amazing.

It’s not surprising that there are children growing up in the shadow of Inori’s growth.

I feel like this is enough because it’s a club with many fans of Coach Hitomi, mainly focused on ice dance.

>>57

From the perspective of parents who support Hito-sensei, Tsuji-sensei is the one who intruded on their favorite pairing and ruined Hito-sensei’s retirement match.

It’s not that I’m favoring them, but both Inori and Tsukasa are incredible, so their results are growing at an unbelievable speed. However, it’s typically unrealistic for growth to happen in such a way, so one might wonder if I’m cutting corners in teaching or being too biased, which is understandable emotionally.

If Inori-san is going to create achievements, then Tsukasa-sensei will also want to see other students, right?

The mothers who are gossiping say they care for Inori, but since they also say it’s fair, could it be that they’re not showing favoritism?

I think they are the type of people who always find some excuse to complain.

So when you say, “Let’s aim for a quadruple jump!” there’s always someone who hesitates.

Well, isn’t it normal for what parents say to not be wrong at all?

It just happens that Hattasho-chan had some talent, doesn’t it?

>>71

It seems you haven’t read it.

>>63

Die

This is a complaint made in a situation where, even in the worst case, the person involved couldn’t possibly be listening.

This page was the one in a million case.

Humans can’t see themselves from a distance, you know.

Inori’s mom couldn’t make any mom friends in the club and it seems that she only opened up to Sota-kun’s mom, becoming friends with her.

Inori Mama was pitied by the other moms, and her mental state was quite affected…

I think it would be awful if it got known that Ryou-san improved in a week.

My child is also asked to do it.

Well, since Inori rarely learns from Teacher Hitomi in place of others, it’s quite rare for other parents to do something so unusual just for Teacher Hitomi, so it’s probably more of a genuine complaint than anything serious.

It seems that Inori Maman has quite a few traits of Inori-chan’s mother…

Mr. Shi is not biased, and it’s not Inori-san’s fault, but it’s a matter of how it looks from the outside and how other parents feel emotionally, so there’s nothing to be done about it.

I don’t think they depict anything after that.

Just because Inori-san is getting critical hits, I’m completely focused on the latecomer.

It’s natural for complaints to arise about not receiving guidance for our own children.

If Sōta-kun and the others were to be assigned to Teacher Tsukasa, they would probably get thrown off balance…

That teacher is quite particular about who he/she chooses.

>>76

Simply put, because there is really little practice for jumping, even though it’s understood that using Sensei Tsukasa’s methods would lead to improvement, there’s a feeling of being unable to actually do it.

Don’t talk behind someone’s back where they can hear you! I think that, but it’s a somewhat tricky issue… It’s unavoidable in terms of the timing of when it started, and it makes me feel down.

Even if we look at it solely from the perspective of the outcome, it’s not an amount that can be easily dismissed…

I like Inori’s mom because she’s cute.

It’s a conversation that can’t be shared with others, saying it’s pointless to raise a child with no talent, so I should pour that effort into my own child instead.

>>82

Talking to someone else…

>>82

Yeah! I’ll pour into the talented kids!

The only problem is that Inori-san was asked directly, but it was an accident.

The content of the gossip is pretty much as expected.

Inori Mama, it can’t be helped… Normally, if someone clearly behind in their studies wants to do skating, you would usually stop them.

Well, it’s not like they’re trying to bother us, and it’s normal for my child to want more attention.

“The panel with ‘A child who hasn’t even done a single rotation at that age can’t possibly have talent’ overlapping with Teacher Sugi is really intense…!”

So, what is it?

Are you saying it’s good to do a “medalist and serve them right” development?

I believe that if I were to study closely with Teacher Tsukasa, I would improve even more, but I also think that even Rion, who is so enamored, wouldn’t be able to tolerate Teacher Tsukasa’s methods.

This kind of person is just someone who talks too much, so even if you dig deeper, it’s a mystery whether they even exist now.

It seems like quite a few people have quit at Inori-san’s place, just like the kids who left after seeing Hikari-chan.

>>90

The growth rate and greed are too abnormal for me… I feel like it’s impossible.

>>92

Even the kids who came to the training camp are thinking that my energy might not be enough…

>>90

There are definitely some kids who look like they might break at the sight of Nori starting later…

>>96

I really think Goat-chan is strong.

There’s no need to slow down the growth speed out of consideration for those who give up.

It’s unfortunate to be in the same club as those aiming for gold medals! Luck is also a part of talent, you know.

I really think kids like Emma are strong.

It’s surprising that you have talent but never show up for the morning private practice.

It doesn’t really feel like the parents are putting in enough effort, unlike Inori Mama, who is doing a crazy amount of backups.

>>100

Well, that’s a different story; we, the readers, don’t know anything about this mob in the first place.

That being said, it would be troublesome if we were to cut into the story for the sake of sharing details about the mob’s family or the reasons behind this gossip, or what happened afterward.

>>105

I just wanted to say that parents who say things like this often think about it even less than their children do.

I don’t want to read a story that focuses on gossiping mobs either.

“In fact, Yuuna-chan said she doesn’t want to lose to someone who started later and doesn’t know the fear of being overtaken!”

>>102

It’s also a bad aspect that there’s no presence coming from below to intimidate Inori.

>>107

I can’t bring it up in conversation… First, I need to catch up to Hikaru-chan.

>>107

Inori-san has a strong belief that I, who started late, am in the position of chasing after what is lacking.

In Inori’s case, it’s definitely true that her growth is the result of sheer determination rather than just talent.

>>103

They’re really coming after me with the intention to win… amazing…

It’s not about having talent or not; I’m just teaching kids who have enthusiasm.

Individual competitive clubs are extremely messy.

That’s something you do in a story on Narou where the protagonist gets revenge…

Because parents are paying a lot of money, it’s natural for them to think that the reason their child isn’t improving as much as they expected is due to the coach’s mistakes, from their perspective.

In reality, factors such as talent or the individual’s motivation being disconnected from the parent’s motivation play a role.

In the end, it’s the child who receives guidance and skates, so if the child doesn’t have the motivation, it won’t work.

Professor Shi said that kind of thing is necessary.

If they’re at a level where they can literally aim for a medal, it seems like it would be inevitable to show favoritism.

If it’s a story about doing it to look back, then a refreshing development towards an absurd turn is necessary, but this is not that kind of work…

>>115

Everyone is already bored with those kinds of one-pattern works…

Professor Shi’s usual demeanor towards everyone will likely become apparent after a while.

>>116

(Is this teacher like this when sober? Scary…)

When you review the first edition, it’s really gloomy, isn’t it?

Right now, that’s not an option anymore.

>>117

Honestly, I think it was a wise decision to cut out excessively dark parts in the anime.

It will definitely alienate viewers.

I forgot it existed, just as the essence of a story.

When it comes to Inori-san’s sense, it seems she doesn’t have the ability to instantly memorize choreography just by watching it, and since Teacher Tsukasa thinks that if he could teach that to Inori-san, she would be the strongest…

It seems that I have been treated as a dedicated member early on, so these kinds of complaints will likely stop soon.

Koi-taso~

I’m empathizing with the child who has the talent to be talked about negatively.

You’re forgetting that you’re on the side of talent that puts in a desperate amount of cost but still doesn’t succeed.

>>126

If I were spending money on costs, I wouldn’t be here, would I?

What I’ve been doing since I was little becomes an accomplishment, but it’s obvious that not all 5-year-old kids are practicing that seriously; that’s just a harsh reality I’m stating.

Inori’s growth was so rapid that I didn’t have time to pay attention to the gossip.

It’s a parent’s love wanting to take the time to help their child grow.

In terms of a sense of taking lessons, favoritism applies, but if it’s at a level that can compete in the Olympics in the future, it becomes more like a natural distribution of strength rather than favoritism, as achievements silence everything.

>>132

So I will dive into this story in the early stages to nurture Inori’s cold feelings.

If I were in the position of these moms, the first thing I would do is suspect the relationship between Hitomi and Tsuji-sensei.

The key point is about what kind of world it is and how to prove the correctness of oneself (and the teacher) in that world, so I don’t really care what happened to these people later on…

Is that child capable of that much? That’s why they will be convinced if they achieve results.

>>140

There’s no way that would happen.

It’s because I’ve been constantly involved that the results have come about.

>>140

There’s no way that’s going to happen.

“Why isn’t my child in that position?”

I can endure it myself, but it must be painful for my child to be surpassed by other children.

Inori Mama is the only mom who has her heart open, and that’s Kouta-kun’s mom.

It’s understandable that there would be some commotion when a coach suddenly comes in and treats one child as special.

It seems that Hitomi has also worn herself down quite a bit.

>>143

I told you to stop that kind of thing earlier, but you still won’t stop…

After all, the quadruple jump… the quadruple jump solves everything.

Well, since there’s a situation where a coach whose name I don’t even know is closely working with the children who started late, it also becomes a matter of kids not being able to learn from Teacher Hitomi, so there’s probably even more room for various comments.

If it were really serious, wouldn’t they have put it with Sonidori-sensei?

You don’t have to listen to the words of a person who doesn’t jump!

If anything, not saying it directly is quite kind.

There are people who say that.

Emotionally, it might be hard to accept, but realistically, it’s understandable that starting at the age of 11 and reaching that level of improvement is quite rare, so it must be incredibly complicated to recognize that.

I have worked part-time at a skating rink for 3 years, so I haven’t heard the details about the prices.

I was told by my senior, “Just one lesson on the moon is more expensive than your part-time job salary.”

In addition, there are various monthly costs such as link usage fees, travel expenses, costume costs, and shoe costs, amounting to tens of thousands of yen.

“I’ve seen many mothers yelling, ‘Do you have any idea how much money you’re costing me!!!!'”

I liked how the figure skaters would bow to me, even though I was just a humble ice rink monitor.

I feel like there are still people saying it now, but they’ve probably become so irrelevant that I no longer notice them…
