Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 223 The Rhapsody of Harmony
"Although I think this level is only normal, but the minister cried to me about the superficial things like too many lines and an exaggeratedly thick script."

Facing Shiwa who said this calmly, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but glanced at the group of students on the stage.

All I could see was a group of haggard people enjoying a moment of peace, their faces filled with the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

It's really hard to describe that look, it's almost as if the word "miserable" was engraved on his face.

So he moved his mouth and said, "I think that's not the only reason why the minister's girl is crying, but is their performance really that bad?"

“It should be said that it also surprised me.”

Shi Yu, who frowned slightly, pushed back the hair on her shoulders with a look of irritability, "Obviously he is a member of the drama department, but he can't even explain the key points of knowledge on how to highlight the tension. It turns out that these high school campuses Is the cultural club here just a family-like club?"

With the sound of "shua la la", the script paper tube in his hand finally couldn't bear any more beatings, and it fell apart completely in an instant.

And the girl didn't seem flustered at all.

In Kato Yusuke's eyes, he saw that the other party took out a brand new script from the shoulder bag very skillfully, and then put away the loose one.

The whole set of movements is natural and smooth, and one can tell at a glance that this is definitely not the first time this has been done.

At the same time, it also made him very intuitively aware of the extent of the so-called "exaggeratedly thick script". It is about the thickness of a textbook "Selected Mandarin Collection", and there are at least hundreds of pages at a rough glance.

The eyelids couldn't help but twitch, "...it's called "Hehe Rhapsody", right? How long did it take you sister to write this script?"

"Well... To be honest, I can't remember clearly. I originally took this errand to pass the time. It was a relaxation after writing a novel, but the time may be slightly wrong."

"Period?"

"The deadline and serialization of the novel."

Shiwa took a sip of coffee, leaned her seat towards Kato Yusuke, "Hey, Kato-kun. When we first met, do you remember...?"

Images of the past began to emerge in front of my eyes.

The hallway filled with orange-red light, scripts scattered on the floor, a house shoe that fell out, and that graceful figure.

Kato Yusuke then nodded lightly: "Well, it was in the stairwell, I just came out of the art room, and accidentally collided with the senior who just went upstairs."

"Hehe...Really, for a girl who met for the first time, it is really an unforgettable experience."

"First time, deep memory, experience... There is absolutely no need to add accents to these words, senior sister."

Gently raised his hand to wipe off the ups and downs on his legs, making the translucent black pantyhose make a slight rustling sound, and under the illumination of the light, there was a faint warm luster.

Shi Yu teased slightly narrowly: "What's the matter, are you already so excited?"

"Not at all, it would be better to say that this kind of teasing will only make people feel troubled."

"Teasing... Well, you are a bit boring and incomprehensible sometimes, Kato-kun."

Kato Yusuke frowned and looked at her, only to see that the girl raised her chin slightly and drank the coffee in her hand, revealing that fair and slender neck, her skin looked translucent and delicate.

The vermilion lips cling to the body of the metal can, creating a visual moistness under the reflection of the light, with a touch of lazy style.

"Although I prefer the brewed one, thank you for the coffee." After putting down the empty can, Shiyu turned her gaze to the stage.

"Then, 5 minutes is up, let's continue with No.30's rehearsal."

A paper tube rolled out of a brand new script made another clear sound, clearly signaling the end of the break.

So there was a sigh-like discussion on the stage.

"...Wow, that's already the fifth volume of the script, so how many copies did she prepare...?"

"And how much strength will it take to smash this, it's so scary, so scary..."

"Haha... Sure enough, I still can't hide..."

……

As for these complaints, Shiyu stared at the script in his hand as if he couldn't hear it at all, and kept marking some important places with a pen, with a serious and focused expression.

Looking alternately at the two sides on and off the stage, Kato Yusuke said: "There is also the matter about the student union, Shiba-senpai, you..."

"Sorry, not now."

The girl shook her head: "Let's talk about something later."

Starting with these words, Shiwa's temperament began to change.And Kato Yusuke also saw the terrifying side of the other party as a writer for the first time.

In the next two hours of practice, the actual plot shown was only about [-]% of the entire script, but it was stopped for various reasons.

"Didn't I tell you not to tie your mouth...!"

"I've been asking for it since just now, to ensure the rhythm and timing of the speech."

"Pay attention to the moment when the opponent's heart is beating, and actively express the impact of the lines at that time!"

"It's time to make up for the lack of emotional expression. Are you really members of the drama department?"

Words like these, which I don't know whether to say are suggestions or reprimands, echoed in the venue one after another.

Even the air seemed to smell of gunpowder.

During this process, Shiyu didn't yell, and she didn't go up to give personal guidance. She didn't express herself in that eye-catching way.

However, the girl never allows slight differences or rhythm errors in the performance, so she will insist on letting the actors practice repeatedly until the performance is satisfactory to her.

Even if the club members vehemently refute those requests that are too narrow and too strong, Shiwa will never compromise.Instead, they will point out the shortcomings of those people's acting skills one by one in a low-pitched, detailed and vicious way, as well as their shallow understanding of the script and the lack of basic skills.

But no matter in terms of vocabulary or experience, these actors who only have experience in high school clubs are naturally no match for the commercial writers who have won the title of newcomer from the publishing house. .

This situation made Yusuke Kato look sideways, and wanted to say something several times, but his mouth closed again.

until a certain moment...

"wrong……!"

Accompanied by a certain devil script writer's quiet mutter full of anger, a certain extreme balance was finally broken at this time.

"One more time, keep going."

After the cold voice spread, the scene was silent for a moment, and then——

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it...! Thank you for taking care of me all the time, but... goodbye!"

A boy wearing a second-grade school badge suddenly stood up and said loudly, then he picked up his schoolbag and walked outside without saying a word, completely ignoring the persuasion of the people around him, and his steps were very decisive.

Looking at his leaving back, someone couldn't help but whispered: "Ah... this is already the third person, it's just a performance at the cultural festival, is it really necessary to be so strict?"

Everyone was silent for a while, with different expressions on their faces.

On the other hand, Shiyu seemed to be completely unaffected, and just calmly arranged for the rest of the students to fill in the role of that person.

"...Then that's it, remember what I just said, and continue." The girl flipping through the script wrote lightly.

The students on the stage looked at each other for a while, but no one spoke, but at the same time, they did not show the same posture of cooperation as before.

The only girl present reacted to Shiyu's words and walked out from the crowd.It's just that it was not cooperation, but an angry question.

"Looking at what you've said, I want to ask you, do I have the ability to play such a role well?" said the girl with her arms crossed, her eyes full of anger as if she was real.

"Has it developed to this point in the end..." Kato Yusuke sighed softly in his heart, but it was impossible for him to ignore this scene.

It is said that interpersonal relationship is a kind of fragile and fragile thing. It is obviously illusory and misty, but it can sweep the vast majority of people into it, and put everyone's own role shackles on everyone regardless of personal wishes. People have to live in this kind of relationship. operate under the rules.

And Shi Yu is like the kind of person standing outside the circle, always carrying a kind of belief that carries through his body, appearing lofty and tenacious.Even if other people only think that she is too evil to be touched, it will not have any influence on her.

Even though this girl has a black belly and a poisonous tongue, Kato Yusuke still appreciates the nobility in her.

But just as he was about to say something, Shi Yu, who was being questioned, responded one step ahead of him.

"Yes, you asked me if I have the ability to play the characters I wrote well."

The girl who put down the script in her hand looked up at the stage, and said calmly, "Well, I can act as long as I want."

As if deterred by the strong confidence in that gaze, the girls on the stage couldn't help but pause, and then continued: "It's so easy to say, then you should give it a try!"

"Try it...?"

Shi Yu gently raised her hand to her chin, her gaze first looked around the stage, and then turned to her side.As if thinking of something, a deep smile appeared on her face.

"It's not impossible, so I'll show you a little demonstration."

Kato Yusuke pointed to the stage: "...you are talking to the wrong person, Shiwa-senpai."

"Hey, Kato-kun... no, president~"

The girl was noncommittal about this, and the smile on her face became more obvious, "My subordinates encounter difficulties, I think you, as the president, will not sit idly by?"

Eyelids twitched twice quickly, Kato Yusuke felt an ominous premonition, and then swallowed the words: "Although I don't want to think so, but senior sister...?"

"Hehe, that's the one that shouldn't be."

"...The problem is that I don't know how to act, and I can't do it to the level required by my senior."

"There is no need to worry about this, because I am the one who will demonstrate, you just need to cooperate with me to read the lines."

"...as long as this is all right??"

"Well, as long as this is the case."

"In that case, not everyone above..."

"Hey—President."

The beautiful face quickly approached, "So you will help?"

"........."

"Absolutely, will help~?"

"…………"

An inexplicable sense of oppression came to his face.

"This kind of tone really doesn't suit you, Shiba-senpai."——Thinking about this, Yusuke Kato sighed and decided to tell the truth, because he really didn't think he could play a good rivalry scene.

At this moment……

"It's not easy to ask you to help for nothing, so this matter should be counted in today's overtime pay."

"?"

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help shaking his head slowly, "I'm sorry senior, but I really don't have much experience in this area."

"Is that so..."

The light in Shi Yu's eyes dimmed suddenly, but she still nodded slightly to express her understanding.

But then, a faint voice immediately rang in the ears.

"But I can learn..."

……

　Thanks to [Aredhel] for the reward.
