Chapter 20: The Drama of Leting
The arrival of Erin and Lulu breaks the strong atmosphere of studying in the dormitory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you doing?"
When the door opened, Erin peeked inside. She felt the magic elemental fluctuations when she was outside the door, thinking that Mel was playing a game with magic. As soon as she poked her head in, she saw Ista behind Myer, and she forced a smile at the other party, and then quickly turned her gaze to Alice who was standing on the other side behind Mel.
"Yo! Alice, here we come! ”
"Welcome, welcome!"
Alice clasped her hands to her chest and shook them from side to side with a smile.
"Come in!"
"Then you're welcome!"
After Maier and the others make way for a path, Erin and Lulu enter the dormitory. They were followed by the four maids from yesterday, who saluted Mel and the others, and then stood obediently at the door.
After everyone sat down around the round table, the three maids brought tea and snacks to Erin and Lulu.
To Mel's surprise, Irene, who was always in a high mood, suddenly became quiet after sitting down. She blushed slightly like Lulu, lowered her head, and covered up her inner panic by drinking tea and eating snacks, not daring to raise her head to look at the boy in front of her, nor did she speak.
"Yo! Coincidental! There are just four men and four women here, is this a friendship? Beafort laughed, "But Maier and Alice are going to be left out, you two are silently sweet in the corner over there!" Ha ha! Ha ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"
Beafort thought his joke would provoke a lot of laughter, but he ended up laughing out loud, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
Ima's appearance made Bifuer feel strange, but Stranzie, a veteran of the love scene sitting next to him, knew where the embarrassment came from.
After Beauffle's words, Maier and Alice must not be able to laugh, and may even appear very shy. Ima's obvious interest in Ista is that Ista doesn't even look at him, which naturally makes him very disappointed. Ista couldn't have smiled because Ima's was here.
Stranzie doesn't know much about Erin and Lulu, but judging from their performance before and after entering the door, Lulu should have been very introverted in the first place, and Erin should have deliberately made herself very introverted for some reason. With Stranzie's understanding of women, Erin must have liked a certain boy in the room, and as long as she was in front of this boy, she would become very shy.
Erin behaves normally in front of Myer, so the boy that Erin likes can only be one of the other three. Judging from the fact that Erin chose to sit directly opposite Bifull after entering the door, and often took the opportunity to peek at Bifull when she took the opportunity to get snacks, the boy she liked must be Bifuer.
In this way, the two girls who are shy for different reasons can't laugh. Six of the eight people don't laugh, and the remaining two look silly if they do. So Stranzie didn't hesitate to sell Bifuel, who thought he could liven up the atmosphere, and didn't laugh.
Fortunately, Bifuer was thick-skinned enough, and after holding back the embarrassed laughter, he picked up a piece of crispy snack and simply changed the subject.
"Does Maier like Taeyong culture?"
"My mother is Taeyong." "When I'm at home, I often eat Tajon and Leting, and I only eat it occasionally. Tea and snacks are similar, and now they have become a habit. ”
"No wonder."
Bifur put the snack back on his plate and turned his gaze to the three maids.
"Well, Mel, I just found out that your maids are foreigners? Leaving aside the wingless Taeyong goblin for the time being, listening to the accents of the other two people, they should be from Ira, right? Didn't you choose a Leyting man to be a close attendant? ”
The three maids communicate in whispers as they work, sometimes asking, sometimes thanking. Kiki spoke with the accent of the Taeyong elf, and Koha and Kotori spoke with the accent of the Ira, and they didn't speak loudly, but they were still heard by Bifuor.
Maier smiled and shook his head, not answering.
Bifur just wanted to change the subject, and didn't even think to delve into these issues. Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing thing just now, he cleared his throat and raised his voice and asked.
"Maier, where are we going to play in a moment?"
Mel turned her gaze to Erin, who was too shy to speak. Seeing this, Beafort thought they had no plan, so he beckoned to the young maid. He spoke to the crowd as the young maid walked up to him.
"There's nothing fun in the academy, it just so happens that Maier and Alice are outsiders, let's go to Sackin City today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young maid stopped in front of Beafour. Bifur turned his face and said to the young maid.
"Call a few carriages according to the number of people in the room, and wait for us at the west gate."
Beathing paused, then said.
"Come along, too."
There were eight students in the room, nine servants. Xiaoxiao was not in the living room, but in Yanhe's room to play chess with her. The young maid silently counted the number of people, and hurried away.
About an hour later, two luxury carriages and a large carriage appeared in the city. Four people were seated in each of the two luxury carriages, one for four boys and one for four girls. There were nine servants in the carriage, only one of whom was a man, and the eight maids did not chatter on the road, but closed their eyes on the carriage like the manservant.
In contrast, the luxury carriage is much more lively.
Emma, Beavor and Stranzy were planning their actions in the carriage after entering the city, and Maiel, who was an outsider, could only watch from the sidelines, unable to interject at all.
On the girls' side, because no other girls saw her, Erin and Ista had a good conversation. Lulu doesn't talk much because of her personality, it's basically just Erin, Ista and Alice talking. They talk about topics that seem irrelevant or even meaningless to the boys, and occasionally complain about the interests of most of the boys.
The motorcade slowly stopped in front of the "Sounds of the Sky" theater in the sixth district of Sackin City, outside which hung a Letingwen sign that read "Now Performing: The Death of Slat", and a man in a funny costume with a messy face painted with oil paint on his face shouted loudly in the doorway, with exaggerated movements.
"The next show is the famous romantic comedy "The Magician Couple"! Tickets are selling out! Everyone, go buy it! If you don't buy it, you won't be able to look at it! ”
After the group got out of the carriage, Beavor had the coachman drive the carriage back to the station of the Namix family. He led everyone into the gate of the theater, and when the men inside the gate saw Beamore and Stranzie, they immediately lowered their bodies, greeted them with a smile on their faces, and saluted them.
"Greetings young master and young lady Ann!"
"How long will it take for this tragedy to end?" Bifur asked.
"About a quarter of an hour, Master Bifuer." The man replied respectfully.
"Then let's go upstairs and wait."
"As you wish, Master Bifuer."
The man made a "please" gesture toward the stairs to the side, and Beavor led the group up to the second floor. After everyone went upstairs, the guys on the second floor all bowed their waists to greet them, and they didn't dare to raise their heads when they walked.
A middle-aged man who looked like a steward led Bifur directly to a break room, ordered someone to serve Leting sake, fruit, and snacks, and then waited outside the door with two men.
The return of eight people in the same space made the atmosphere in the lounge seem a little dull. This is because after Emma entered the lounge, she wanted to sit next to Ista, but Ista got up and left directly, sitting next to Mel and Alice, which made everyone feel very embarrassed.
Fortunately, a quarter of an hour later, the last play was over. The middle-aged man in charge respectfully informed everyone in the lounge about the incident, and then led everyone to the grandstand on the second floor and sat them in front of the stage.
After another quarter of an hour, only about half of the seats in the theater were occupied, and most of the audience was concentrated on the first floor. After the performance began, a man wearing a black shirt, black pants, black shoes, a black hood and a black mask appeared in the center of the stage. He saluted the audience, and then announced the repertoire loudly in a magnetic baritone.
"Next, please enjoy the romantic comedy, "The Magician Couple"!"
After this, the man retreated to the back of the stage and climbed a high platform with great ease. He saluted the audience again on the high platform and said in a loud voice.
"Once upon a time, in a city called 'Snowy Night', a male magician named 'Labuccino' fell in love with a female magician named 'Maureen'......"
As he spoke, two actors in magic robes entered the stage, one on the left and one on the right. On the left is a man, on the right is a woman, the man covers his heart with an exaggerated gesture when he sees a woman, and the woman appears shy.
Leiting's drama is a very common thing, there is no obscure dialogue in the play, there is no flowery rhetoric, and it is not sung from beginning to end like Tayyong opera. Leiding's drama attaches great importance to storytelling, but also to the presence of actors. The man in black is the narrator in Leitin's play, and the actors on stage are expected to perform according to his lines.
The actors' lines are not fixed, and sometimes the narrator makes a slip of the tongue, and then the actors have to "save the scene" and rationalize the narrator's mistakes. Those who have not seen this scene will not notice anything, and those who have seen this scene will applaud the actor who saved the scene. Sometimes the narrator will deliberately make a slip of the tongue and let the actor save the scene, so as to earn applause.
Sometimes the narrator will also play on the spot, playing the actor below to make everyone laugh. Actors sometimes use the same way as narrators and other actors, such as in this scene, where the actor who plays Rabchino deliberately says "I don't have any interest in that girl" as "I think that girl's legs are beautiful" when he says his lines.
After the actor said this, it was supposed to be the actress who said "I knew you only loved me one" and threw herself into the actor's arms. But the actor's lines have changed, so the actress can't pick up. Seeing this, the narrator immediately preempted the actress and said.
Labuccino said so, but in his heart he loved Maureen alone. Maureen was convinced of this, so she didn't believe Labuccino's words. ”
The narrator unravels the actress in this form, and by the way, gives the actress hints. After the narrator finished her lines, the actress immediately adjusted her state and asked by looking directly into the actor's eyes.
"Are you serious?"
The actor knew that he would definitely have to play it if he continued to play, so he quickly shook his head and replied.
"No, of course I lied to you, I only have you in my heart."
In this way, the plot is back on track, and there is thunderous applause in the audience.
Ima, Beafour, Stranzie, Erin, and Lulu have all seen the play, so they applauded as well. Myer, Alice, and Ista had never seen the play, and they saw the other five applauding and applauded. (To be continued.) )
