Chapter 913 The Last Daily Life 92
Youyou said this, but there was no frightened expression on her face. Xiaolin and the others even thought that she might have come to talk to them on purpose. Although it seemed a bit deliberate, Xiaolin and the others didn't care about it now. Having a hand was better than anything else.
"…Looks like there's someone here."
You Gou said this, and looked at Xiaolin and Aqua at the same time. Xiaolin and Aqua also looked at You Gou, and the three nodded at the same time. You know, Youyou is someone they are familiar with, and she is also a teammate. With her help, everything will be easier. At least, compared to looking for an outsider who is unknown and may fail at a critical moment, Youyou is more reliable.
"Have you encountered any problems?" Youyou saw the three people staring at her and seemed to be a little withdrawn, so she asked cautiously: "Um... do you want to tell me about it?"
She said this with every intention of helping.
This is really great!
Seeing Youyou appear, Aqua immediately told her about their current troubles, "Actually, we are preparing for the performance, but we are short of manpower, which is very troublesome."
After saying that, they looked at her expectantly again. Not only Aqua, but also Kobayashi did the same, but they did not directly ask for her help, and Youyou suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, is that so? Acting..."
That exaggerated look of surprise made people twitch their lips. Xiaolin and Yougou looked at each other, and after seeing some surprise and confusion in each other's eyes, he turned his head to look at Youyou who was pretending to be surprised.
"I say..." Xiao Lin said uncertainly, "Youyou, you're not really good at acting, are you?"
"No, I'm not very good at it, and I'm not used to facing the crowd." Youyou shook her head awkwardly. After all, she was shy and afraid of contact with people, so she naturally wouldn't be good at acting. But she still said, "But if you really want to ask me for help--"
"That's true." Xiao Lin interrupted her bluntly, sighed with some regret, and said: "Although Youyou is a Crimson Demon, her personality is rather timid. I think acting is an unnecessary burden for her."
"Eh?"
Hearing what Xiaolin said, Youyou subconsciously said "eh" and looked at Xiaolin in astonishment. Normally, shouldn't she be invited directly to act?
Aqua on the side was also understanding, and didn't want to force Youyou, so she said, "It would be embarrassing to force someone who doesn't want to be invited. Sorry, Youyou, we won't force you, don't worry."
"No, I, I think... that... this... uh...!!!"
Youyou stammered and was unable to speak. She looked like she wanted to express her thoughts, but didn't know how to say them. She looked quite troubled and embarrassed.
You Gou would also say at this time, "It would be great if someone could play the role of the princess. You You, if you have a suitable candidate, can you introduce her to us? Don't worry, that person won't feel cheated."
"Playing the role of a princess?" Youyou muttered softly, and then nodded seriously as if she had thought of something. "I see. If I find her, I'll bring her here! It'd be best if she's dressed like a princess, right?!"
"No, it's just an actor. There's no need to find someone who looks like the princess—"
"I'll go find it!"
Before Xiaolin could explain clearly, Youyou said this loudly and seriously, and then said, "Find someone like a princess! You must reconsider it when the time comes!?" Then, she ran out of the theater in a hurry without looking back.
"wait--?!"
Xiaolin held out his hand, because it was really confusing. What did he mean by reconsidering? What did it have to do with finding someone to play the princess? When he was confused, Aqua spoke uncertainly.
"I say, Xiaolin..."
"What's wrong Aqua?"
"Youyou... doesn't she want to act with us?"
"Uh--"
Kobayashi was stunned. He felt that something was wrong with Youyou from the beginning, but considering that this was a performance on stage, it was natural for him to force Youyou to join in. However, for a shy girl who dared not interact with others, it would obviously be a heavy burden. However, it doesn't seem to be the case now?
"That should be it." You Gou Hui also nodded and said, "But I have almost paved the road."
"What do you mean?"
Aqua had an idiotic look on her face, and I don’t know if she was trying to be cute on purpose. She even bit her tongue - was it because she was wearing a clown costume that she was pretending to be a clown?
He smiled smugly and said, "If my guess is correct, we don't need to prepare princess costumes. It will definitely be fun... hehe."
"right……"
Xiao Lin also came to his senses. Maybe they misunderstood Youyou's words just now as 'If you want to act with us, then we will reluctantly let you play the role of the princess, but the condition is that you have to dress yourself like a princess', and then Youyou would run out in a hurry and leave a sentence 'think about it carefully later', right?
"Since the meeting has said so, let's forget about the princess' costume and make the devil's armor." Xiaolin also guessed that Youyou would take the initiative to wear the gorgeous princess costume and report. He looked at the stupid goddess next to him and asked, "Aqua can be made with a milk carton, right?"
"Just give me some reference material and I can do it..."
Aqua said this confidently, as if no matter what kind of clothing it was, it wouldn't be a problem for her, like a goddess of clothing. But then, she changed the subject.
"But, what exactly does the Demon King's armor look like? I have no idea at all."
In other words, without a reference pattern, Aqua would have no way to make it, just like a good cook cannot cook without rice.
"Hmm..." Xiao Lin also said with an embarrassed look: "I haven't seen the Demon King in person, and the Demon King's armor... Hmm..."
Suddenly, Xiaolin's mind flashed with the demon kings in various works. The armor they wore was naturally powerful and strong, and had the aura of a demon king. But the problem was that such armor could not show the aura of a real demon king, and there was no way for people to recognize it as a demon king at a glance, after all, there was no way for a drama to introduce itself.
"Oh right! I just happened to find some good information! Let's refer to that guy!!!"
Kobayashi suddenly had an idea, and clapped his hands as if he had thought of something, and decided to make that guy the Demon King - although to be precise, that guy was just a cadre of the Demon King's army, but his appearance at least put Axel in the novice village in a dangerous situation for a time, so if he showed up, it would definitely make the audience feel extremely oppressed!
However, Aqua shook inadvertently, and said with some discomfort: "I always feel that there is a bad premonition..."
Kobayashi didn't even look at her. He ignored Aqua's suspicious face and smiled confidently as he began to finish the script.
As the day of the official performance approaches, various preparations in the small theater are gradually progressing. Kobayashi is issuing reservation tickets for the small theater, decorating the small theater, and rehearsing to a certain extent with Aqua and the others. In short, he is very busy.
Of course, he was not the only one, Aqua and Yugoku were also busy. Yugoku was naturally finishing the script and leaving enough blanks for the final mediation, while Aqua began to set up the scene at Kobayashi's suggestion. After all, it was a stage play like a drama, and if there was no background wall... the dry performance would really make people feel uninterested.
"Okay, it's done!" Aqua cheered happily. She asked Xiaolin and Yougouhui who were discussing the script, "I spent half a day making the Demon King's Castle. What do you think of it?"
"So strong!!!?"
Xiao Lin looked up at the stage, and saw the exquisite Demon King's Castle that seemed to have been taken out of a book. He immediately exclaimed, "I say... How on earth did you make something like this, and it only took daytime?"
I have to admire this silly goddess, her skills are so amazing that one can't help but sigh that she should just change her career to become an artist.
"This finished product is really amazing." Seeing the Demon King's Castle that was almost the same as what he remembered, the perfect replica was amazing. At the same time, he asked curiously, "We don't have much materials to use. How did you do it? It's a miracle."
"It's a miracle!" Aqua said proudly, puffing out her chest. Then she turned her head to look at the background of the Demon King's Castle behind her and said happily, "In fact, even I think it's a great job under the circumstances. Next, I want to build a moat and a drawbridge around the castle!"
No, no, no, there's no need for something like that, and it takes up a lot of space and is very troublesome. It's just that this guy is usually lazy and lazy like a loser, but once he starts working, he becomes super particular. Maybe he'd be happier if he switched to another job...?
You Gouhui looked at all this with great satisfaction, and sighed, "We are all laymen, and we are seriously short of manpower... I was worried about whether it could go smoothly, but now I feel that it should be completed smoothly. Although it is just some scene arrangement, I suddenly have enough confidence..."
"Thanks to Aqua." Kobayashi also nodded, highly praising the stupid goddess, and then looked at You Gouhui and asked, "The scene layout, props, and costumes seem to be fine, so what about the most important script itself...?"
Xiaolin was a little worried.
Even though she is a talented writer, she doesn't have any well-known works, and she is also a member of the Crimson Demon Clan. If she comes up with some weird plot... the script of a brave Crimson Demon Clan saving the princess may also be different from the usual impression of a brave plot.
"The script is already written. It's the same as Ms. Aqua's scene arrangement. It's my masterpiece." She was just as proud as Aqua, as if it was her masterpiece. She said this with pride, and then took out a manuscript from her bosom and handed it over. "Come... read it carefully!"
Kobayashi and Aqua took the script and began to read it.
Time passed little by little.
As time passed, the day was almost over. After the sun set below the horizon, I felt that time was almost up, so I said, "Have you two read the script? While there is still some time left, let's start rehearsing!"
Although there is still a lot of time left and there is no guarantee of any results, their purpose is to familiarize themselves with the script. It does not mean that they will have the emotions and full feelings to perform all at once. All they need to do now is to go through the process.
After understanding this, everyone began to rehearse.
Aqua was the first to read her lines from the script, saying loudly: "Brave man~! The princess has been kidnapped~!" However, as she spoke, she felt something was not right. She pointed at the lines on the script and asked if it made sense. She said: "... I think this should be a heavy scene, after all, the princess has been kidnapped, but is it really okay to speak in such a stupid and cheerful tone? In my opinion, it seems more like gloating. Maybe the audience will dislike it?"
In terms of talent, Aqua is a professional! That's why she was able to immediately spot the anomalies in the script and put forward her own opinions. And Yougouhui also shook his head, indicating that there was no need to pay attention to such details, and also explained:
"No problem, the dumber the better." You Gou has his own understanding, "If the player speaks too seriously, it will be too different from the character image."
"Is that so..."
Aqua looked thoughtful.
Having said that, Kobayashi took a quick look at the script. The stupid goddess' lines are almost all in such a stupid and cheerful tone. Will the audience really not like it? Forget it, don't think too much about it for now.
The next one is quite capable.
She was seen posing in a strange posture, and she read aloud in a hoarse voice: "Ah, how could this happen! In order to rescue the kidnapped princess... Well, as a member of the kingdom, I will go with you, brave Lord Kobayashi! Although my strength is not enough, I can still do my part!"
Why does it feel like he has a role as the Pope or the King in addition to the role of the mage? Xiaolin was very keen to catch this point, and at the same time he understood that this was the result of a shortage of manpower, so he could only divide the lines among several other people and quickly get to the point.
