Megumi and Mizuki continued with their classes till it was time for lunch break. After the bell rang, they went to sit with Nobara and Yuji as usual. Just after 5 minutes of them sitting down at their table, Jurina stood beside the table.

"May I borrow Shiraishi for a minute?", said Jurina.

"Guys, I'll be back.", said Mizuki as she got up and went with Jurina.

Miyamoto Jurina was a third-year student and the head of the dance club at Jujutsu High. She was a good leader. There wasn't much toxicity in the dance club. Fashion and music clubs often tended to be more toxic than dance clubs due to their focus on individual appearance and talent. Fashion clubs emphasized personal style and social status, which led to competition and judgment among members. Music clubs, with their focus on solos and individual performances, fostered rivalry and jealousy. Both clubs also had subjective measures of talent, creating perceptions of favouritism. In contrast, dance clubs emphasized teamwork and collective effort, requiring members to collaborate, which helped create a more inclusive and supportive environment.

"What is it, Miyamoto-senpai?", asked Mizuki.

"Our dance club, along with the music and karate clubs, will be volunteering to conduct workshops in orphanages, junior high schools, and even primary and elementary schools across some selected parts of Japan. Other high school students will be there too. Here, see the invitation notice.", said Jurina as he handed the poster to Mizuki.

The younger girl read the invitation notice, which read:

"Come on, Shiraishi, say yes. You are one of the best dancers in the club. Everyone wants you to come. You have been dancing since you were young, and you know a variety of dance styles."

"How many days, will it take place for ?"

"Almost 7 to 9 days."

"Ahh...Can I answer after two days?"

"Yeah, sure! I really hope that you say yes. "

"I will see...I need to talk to my..cousin first and then my boss."

"No issues. Just remember the last day of entering your name is The following Monday."

"Okay, thanks senpai."

"Mention not.", smiled Jurina before leaving.

"What happened?", asked Nobara as Mizuki sat down beside her.

"Miyamoto-senpai wants me to take part in this.", said Mizuki as she showed her the notice.

"Oh, this!!! I am willing to take part in this! Fushiguro, you are in the karate club, right?", asked Nobara.
