Short Short: "The Heart-Throbbing Toe Shoes"

That ballerina is unfortunate.
She was chosen by the heart-throbbing toe shoes.
Those who wear the heart-throbbing toe shoes
must dedicate their lives to ballet.
Those who wear these generation after generation must carry the ballet company on their shoulders
and strive for the improvement of ballet.
But it is also an honor. I was not chosen.

That is why I am here now, holding a fan, my body and face flushed, and my nose growing long.
Since I was chosen by the heart-throbbing geta, I must carry the Tengu troupe on my shoulders and strive for the improvement of the Tengu.

That ballerina was spinning around while looking at me with envy.

The ballerina's dance is wonderful, but it seems somewhat distant from the heart-throbbing.
My fan-wielding must surely look the same way to her. Even though I must become a more imposing Tengu.
