Chapter 3: The Man Without a Soul
On the stage, a golden ceiling lamp symbolizing the sun and a cool white ceiling lamp symbolizing starlight shine at the same time.
Sun Maika, who has dazzling blonde hair and attracts others like the sun, and Star Maiden, who has bright black hair and is as weak as starlight, are two of them stretching their bodies and competing in dance skills.
As the backdrop, there is a palace that conveys the will of the gods in the play. This scene is the second most important scene in the whole play. The dance skills of the Sun Dancer and the Star Dancer are closely followed by the climax of the three dancers who add the Moon Dancer.
Lixia sat under the stage, nervously watching the performance on stage, her expression as nervous as the rest of the Rainbow Troupe around her, because of the peculiarity of the Star Dance......
Because of his status as a police officer, he couldn't have had much time to practice dancing.
Because of a man's identity, it is necessary to always pay attention to whether his body will reveal his gender.
However, these worries are unfounded.
This man is very powerful.
Like Illya Platier, he has the ability to control the stage. His dancing skills have grown to the point where he will not be inferior to Illya on the same stage.
"That's amazing......"
Lixia couldn't help but think of herself.
There are too many similarities between her and You.
Orientals, newcomers to the Rainbow Theatre, killers, and well-trained physically, all of whom were momentarily confused (Lixia felt he had a history of this).
Subconsciously, Lixia has regarded this "killer senior" as her competitor. Seeing him improve so quickly, Lixia was both happy and a little tickled, wanting to compete with him.
It seemed to be a gap in Lixia's mood, and Rui, who was sitting next to her, suddenly took her hand.
"Sister Lixia...... Please don't, embarrassed the master ......"
Lixia's eyes were immediately attracted by this weak girl, and the wonderful performance on the stage did not distract Lixia.
"Why? Would you say so? ”
Rui, who was asked, was startled, her shoulders shrank back cutely, her eyes were hazy, and she said with some grievances: "No, I don't know...... I don't know ...... either."
"Na, why do you feel that I will embarrass Youjun?"
Seeing that Rui seemed to be afraid of herself, the girl with light purple hair here showed a kind smile as much as she could, and asked again softly.
"I don't know...... It's just that I feel like Sister Lixia will do this......"
"Ahhh......h
"Cards! Time out. Take a break. ”
At the climax of the dance drama, suddenly, a high-pitched female voice interrupted the appreciation of everyone in the troupe, Rui was afraid to get into Lixia's arms, and Lixia had no choice but to hug her, as if comforting her daughter, gently patting her back.
In the Rainbow Theatre Company, there are only two people who can stop during rehearsals.
The first is the head of the troupe.
But it was clearly not him. Because the head of the troupe is a man.
The other one is Illya.
As the pillar of the Rainbow Theatre - it is said that it is the pillar, in the hearts of some fanatical fans, it is Illya who holds up the Rainbow Troupe. Although it is a bit extreme, it is also a fifty percent true. As a result, Illya has unparalleled privileges in the Rainbow Theatre.
Moreover, she is a person who strives for excellence on stage, and it is common to see that there is a dissatisfaction situation in rehearsals, and it is common to stop without hesitation. So everyone was taken aback, but they weren't too surprised. I just thought, "Ah, it looks like Illya is going to preach again." ”
"What's wrong, Miss Elijah?"
Lixia, who was sitting in the first row, hurriedly asked.
Illya walked to the edge of the stage and sat down on the edge with a big grin, not caring about the high exposure of the dancing costume, her legs kicking the air as if they were angry.
"Nothing, no one who can keep up with Illya Platier."
Full of regretful feelings, the super beauty with golden wavy curly hair said regretfully, shaking her head gently, her hair like a rising flame under the illumination of the light.
"Uh...... Ahaha......"
Lixia didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to smile. It's a fact. At the beginning, Lixia also felt that she was a person with a good foundation in martial arts! Anyway, you won't lose to an ordinary dancer who hasn't studied martial arts, right? But as a result, she simply couldn't keep up. Even now, there is still an insurmountable gap between the Moon Dancer and the Sun Dancer.
"I'm sorry, Miss Elijah."
You stood behind her and humbly apologized.
"No, you don't have to apologize. Because you're keeping up with me. ”
Illya seemed to be saying something that didn't concern her, and she looked a little sulky. But Lixia knows that this person only has a stage in her heart, and she is not the type to get angry because others can't keep up with her rhythm, and then say backwords to hurt others.
"Huh?"
It sounds like a contradictory word, so that You is also a little incomprehensible.
"I said, there is no one who can follow me, Illya Platier."
"But, I followed?"
You tried to pick her up.
Illya nodded.
"That's it."
The result is still confused......
What Illya wanted to say, Lixia couldn't understand at all.
However, You seemed to understand, and he was a little eager to cover up, and he looked away.
"Lixia, you're weird, you think I'm making trouble."
Illya suddenly turned away from You and threw the topic to Lixia.
"Ah...... Hmmm......"
"There is no one who can keep up with me, in other words, I am the only one who can keep up with me."
Illya sighed with some pity and continued: "You, I thought at first that you were a very talented person, but now I have found out that it is not a talent. You can follow me because you are Elijah Pratier. If you can keep up with me, it's understandable. Because, I kept up with me. ”
Illya said inexplicable sentences, and Lixia found it even harder to understand. So she looked at You, to see if he didn't understand as much as she did.
Yu's expression was completely different from what she had imagined. It was still an expression of being found out and having no choice but to tell it all.
"Ahh Miss Illya, who found out. ”
"yes, who do you think I am?"
Seeing Lixia's question, You also learned from Illya to sit down and explain to Lixia. His dancing costume is much more conservative than Illya's, and he's still a man, so there's no question of going naked.
"I'm not able to keep up with you because I'm good at dancing. It's because ...... I'm good at imitation. ”
"Imitation?"
"Hmm. It's not just the action, I'm imitating this person. So are you, and so is Eliya. Lloyd, too, and many others, can say that I have nothing that is my own, and everything I have is stolen from someone else. Including the attitude of the conversation with you now. ”
After speaking, Illya continued to add: "Moreover, you didn't just learn my movements, but modified my dancing skills for you to become the most suitable dance skills for Yuki Tatsumi, and more importantly, on the stage, you completely became Illya Platier, so I feel angry." No one can accept everyone in their entirety, but you did. You...... There is no soul. Yu-Tatsumi is a person made up of other people, and there is nothing that belongs to Yu-Tatsumi. ”
"I must describe that I am closer to a puppet who can think for himself than a human."
"Well, so ...... It's pretty cute. ”
Suddenly, Illya's state suddenly returned to the superstar who was full of confidence and talked to herself and pulled others into her own rhythm. Like a gangster somewhere, she stretched out her arm around You's neck, and rubbed his hair with her other hand, black hair leaking out between her slender fingers.
"Wow...... Miss Elijah? ”
"But it's okay if it's all stolen. I didn't stop because I was angry. ”
You and Illya sat with their arms around their shoulders as if they were iron buddies...... Corrected, Yu was sat with Illya around her shoulders as if she were an iron buddy.
"I just felt sad. If you want to master the role of the Good Star Dancer, neither 'Illya Platier' nor 'Lixia Mao'. It has to be played by 'Morning Hair'. ”
"Please forget that name!" X2
"So, Yu, your rehearsal is on hold! Now, go find the soul! Your own soul! ”
