[Soul of Chess] What if

"Anyway, don't panic, you're not alone..."

This is the backstage of the Haze Junior High School auditorium.Tsutsui, who had already changed into his performance costume, sat there stiffly, watching the busy figures coming and going with his unfocused pupils, and muttering to himself in a low voice.

Perhaps in order to relieve the tension in his heart, he unconsciously tightened the book with a light blue cover in his arms.

It's [-]:[-] in the afternoon, half an hour before the show starts.

Since he was thinking about this performance all the time, Tsutsui was not in the mood to wander around like Hikaru and the others. Even though it was not two o'clock after lunch, he was already waiting in the backstage.

However, the result of coming backstage too early is—

He is really nervous ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! 〒▽〒

"Let's review it again before the performance..." After a long while, Tsutsui sighed softly and opened the script book in his hand, "There is no one who is not afraid of the lord. But——if you are resented by others, please pay more attention to yourself The safety of..."

"Yo~!"

Tsutsui was about to turn to the next page when he suddenly heard a sound from above his head.The voice was so sudden that he was inevitably taken aback and raised his head abruptly.

After seeing who is coming——

"Kaga——!(▼ヘ▼#)" He couldn't help standing up and shouting at the visitor.

Although Tsutsui realized that he was in the backstage of the auditorium instead of the physics and chemistry classroom the moment he opened his mouth, and he covered his mouth vigorously, but he still received a lot of attention.

However, after seeing the person standing next to him clearly, everyone looked away tacitly.

After all, Kaga is the existence that even the most crying child would be too scared to cry~*^____^*

Kaga ignored everyone's fearful or probing gazes.He bent down and picked up the notebook that fell to the ground following Tsutsui's action just now.

He glanced at the contents of the notebook and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? So you were rehearsing."

"So what." Tsutsui looked away and responded lightly.

Taking advantage of Kaga's unpreparedness, Tsutsui snatched the notebook over.He patted the dust on it, and whispered slightly annoyed: "I'm not like you, I can remember it after just one look..."

"Ok?"

Seeing Kaga looking at him with puzzled eyes, Tsutsui realized that he probably didn't hear what he just said.This realization made him a little disappointed for a moment, but he was more fortunate.

"It's nothing." He dealt with it casually, then lowered his head to memorize his lines again, and stopped looking at Kaga in front of him.

Seeing Tsutsui's gesture of refusing to continue communicating, Kaga didn't say anything, but took advantage of the situation and sat down on the side.

"Ttsutsui."

Before it was quiet for a while, Kaga's voice sounded again.

"Huh?" Tsutsui didn't look away from the notebook, but responded casually.

"The script book cannot be brought to the stage." Kaga put away his idle posture, and said a little seriously.

Hearing Kaga say this fact so solemnly, Tsutsui's face turned red.

"I...I know..." He explained awkwardly, but his voice became less and less confident, and at the end he lowered his head in frustration and held the script in his hand a little harder, "I know that lines cannot be brought I went up. But there is no other way, I can only feel at ease if I hold it in my hand..."

"Tsutsui-senpai, are you here so early?" Kaga opened his mouth, and was about to say something when he heard a familiar voice.

"Shinto, Mitani, you are here! :-D"

After seeing the person coming, Tsutsui quickly put away the somewhat depressed expression before.He took out two bags from his side and handed one of them to Ah Guang: "This is your costume."

"This is yours."

After Sangu also took the bag, he pointed to the dressing room not far away and said to the two of them, "Hurry up and change your clothes, it's almost time for us to play in a while."

"Oh."

"Ok."

After the two responded briefly, they left with their bags in their hands.

There shouldn't be any problem... Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Tsutsui thought silently.

However, not long after--

Ah Guang rushed out in a panic, mumbling incessantly: "Socks...socks...○○(＞＜)○○"

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tsutsui hurried forward and asked with concern.

"Senior Tsutsui, my socks are missing! (T▽T)" Hikaru looked anxious.

"Socks?" Tsutsui repeated in bewilderment.

Although he knew that it wasn't a sock, Ah Guang didn't know what to call it for a while.He can't say it's the kind of thing Zuowei wears on his feet... ==

Wear it on your feet?

Ah Guang suddenly had an idea: "It's the thing that was worn on the feet during the performance, and it looks like a bag in vain."

Tsutsui thought about it seriously according to Hikaru's description, and then smiled helplessly: "Shinto, those are not socks, but foot bags. (ー_ー)!!"

"Huh?" Hearing what Tsutsui said, Aguang was stunned for a moment, but soon he was like an ant on a hot pot again, "You can call it whatever you want, the problem is that I can't find it now... (╥╯^╰╥)"

"It shouldn't be, I sorted it out yesterday, everyone's clothes are indeed a complete set..."

In order not to affect the performance, the costumes of several people have been kept by him.He checked it again yesterday, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems...

Or did I really forget to put the foot bag for Shinto's performance yesterday?The sudden situation made Tsutsui a little unsure.

"Are you looking for something with two toes?" Kaga, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

After hearing the voice, Tsutsui quickly turned to Kaga happily: "Yes! Where did you meet?"

"Here." Kaga slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to a position.

After hearing the words, both Tsutsui and Hikari turned their gazes to the direction Kaga was pointing at, only to realize later that the pair of foot bags they had been looking for for a long time were actually on Hikari's right hand... (; 一_one)

After realizing that this was just a false alarm, Tsutsui let out a deep breath.

"What are you doing? I heard you yelling from afar..." Sangu also came over at some point.He frowned slightly and looked at the three people in front of him. He was wearing an elegant kimono, and it seemed that he had already changed his clothes.

"Yo~ Isn't this Mitsuhide? You're still so confident and arrogant, it's really not bad~!" Kaga patted his chin and praised.

Listening to the provocative words, Sangu suddenly looked like a cat with fur.However, before he had time to fight back, he heard Tsutsui exclaim in a low voice: "Ah! You can't dress like this, Mitani."

"Ah?" Sangu didn't react immediately.

"The direction of the front of the kimono is reversed. It should be the left side in front." After a pause, he added helplessly, "You are the way a dead man dresses..."

"Huh?!" Sangu looked in disbelief.

"It's less than 10 minutes until the official performance... Ah, forget it, let's cover it with armor." Tsutsui said, and helped Mitani tidy up his clothes.

"Do you think Tsutsui-senpai and Mitsuko's mother look like..." Watching their actions, Hikaru asked Zuowei's opinion in his heart.

"Yeah, she really looks like a good wife and mother." A voice echoed.

Looking at Kaga with an approving face, and Tsutsui-senpai's flushed face, Hikaru just felt a little baffled.

"Ah Guang, you accidentally said what was on your mind just now..." Zuo Wei reminded in a low voice.

"Huh—?! Σ(°△°|||)︴" Now it was Ah Guang's turn to look unbelievable.

"Senior Tsutsui, listen to my explanation!" Aguang ran over annoyed.Kaga looked at a few people not far away with a smile.

As the performance time approached a little bit, several people were not in the mood to gag, and everyone just sat there silently.

In this slightly suffocating atmosphere, listening to the tight drum beat faintly coming from the stage, Ah Guang only felt his heart beating faster.

"Ahhh! I'm so nervous! ::>_<::" Zuowei said while waving his small fists.

Ah Guang was already nervous, when he heard Zuo Wei say this, he immediately asked angrily, "Why are you nervous?"

"But...you will be infected if you stand next to Ah Guang!" Zuowei explained aggrievedly.

"Idiot, don't!" Ah Guang wanted to cry even more, "If you are also nervous, then I will be even more nervous!"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Wei's small face wrinkled even more: "It's useless even if you say that..."

Not far away, Tsutsui tightly clutched the script book in his hand as if clutching a life-saving straw, and he was still chanting: "Compared to the enemy, the resentment of one's own people is more terrible. Do you remember that in front of everyone, you caught..."

"Ah!" The notebook in his hand was suddenly taken away, Tsutsui couldn't help but exclaimed, and then looked at the other party dissatisfied.

"I really lost to you." Looking at the crumpled book in his hand due to nervousness, Kaga sighed deeply, and then looked at Tsutsui with a slightly serious look, "Tsutsui, there are only performances that break away from the limitations of the script. That's the real performance. You don't want to have any regrets about your last performance in junior high school, do you?"

"But..." Tsutsui hesitated.

"When you say the wrong lines, just make mistakes and make mistakes~"

Before Tsutsui had time to say anything, Kaga added: "What's more, with a genius like me around, no matter if it's a wrong line or something, he can help you get back~"

"Okay, it's time, let's go!" Kaga said, throwing the script book into the wastebasket.

"Ah! My script book!" Tsutsui wailed.He wanted to rescue the notebook, but Kaga took it away without any explanation.
