Chapter 62: The Island Opera
The cruise ship sails through the waves, and with the sound of seagulls, the outline of a small island gradually comes into view.
"That's Ota Island?"
"Looks so good," Iori Hidaka said excitedly as she walked to the bow of the boat, "It's great to be able to rehearse in a place like this for a week!" ”
"The sea breeze feels pretty good, too."
"Look over there!"
Nanase Jiro blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Mr. Ogata, whose long hair was fluttering on the bow of the boat, and touched Gao Cheng with his elbow: "How is it?" It's nice to be here, right? ”
"You're not going to be interested in teachers, are you?" The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched, "It's really ......"
"That's enough!" An old-fashioned girl with glasses came from behind, glared at Jiro Nanase and said angrily, "What the hell are you doing here?" I'm betting on this rehearsal, there are only two weeks left in the drama competition, how can I participate like this! ”
"Yes, I'm sorry......"
Gao Cheng pulled Nanase away in a curtled manner: "What a terrible woman, like an Obasan." ”
"Don't say that," Nanase looked back at the old-fashioned girl and said, "Kiryu-senpai is just too serious, don't look at her like this, as long as she is on the stage, she seems to be a different person......"
"Really?" Gao Chenghu looked at the stereotyped girl suspiciously.
There are only 3 girls on the ship except for Mr. Ogata.,Plump and cute little girl Hidaka Orie.,Takashima Yuyo who doesn't talk to people like a big lady.,And then there's this dull and inconspicuous glasses girl.。
Soon the cruise ship arrived at the pier, and everyone went ashore with their luggage, and followed the uncle who led the way to the only hotel on the island, which is also the location of the drama department's training camp.
The group walked through a forest and found that there were almost no people on the island.
"It's deserted."
"There are not many people living on this island," the uncle explained, "and there are only four people living on this island, including the boss and me, and I have to run a cruise ship for food and food, and there are not many tourists lately." ”
"There are still people in this place?"
"Of course, there were already a few people living before you...... Alright, we're here! ”
The uncle said as he walked, and finally led everyone straight to a magnificent villa.
"Welcome to the Opera Block!"
"Wow! It's almost like in a movie...... It's so luxurious, there is such an exaggerated hotel on this kind of island! ”
Everyone stood at the door for a while with shocked faces, walked into the villa, and looked at all kinds of Western aristocratic decorations.
"It's amazing......"
"This used to be a capitalist villa, and the owner bought it ten years ago and renovated it into a hotel," the uncle laughed, "and there is also a theater here, I heard that the previous owner was very fond of theater and built it, and this is where you rehearsed this time." ”
"Really?"
Gao Cheng was already smacking his tongue just by looking at the luxury of the villa, and when he heard this, he followed everyone through a long corridor, and sure enough, he saw a large theater, which was built on the side of the villa, which was also quite magnificent.
Rich, too rich......
Gao Cheng followed through the audience and walked to the edge of the stage, his mind full of thoughts.
He didn't know how rich the owner of the place was, but he felt that he was really poor......
"Alright," Mr. Ogata, looking at the theater with satisfaction for a moment, turned to the crowd, "don't be surprised, let's clean up our rooms first, we have another week to be busy." ”
"Good!"
On the second floor, Gao Cheng picked a random room, put his backpack on the sofa, and lay on his back on the big bed like a pleasant feeling.
Even the guest rooms are super luxurious, and his kennel in Tokyo is completely incomparable, and this trip is really the right one......
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door outside.
"Castle ...... Ah Yi, have you got it right? It's time to meet at the theater. Nanase Jiro shouted outside.
"So fast? Don't you eat first? Gao Cheng reluctantly left the big bed and opened the door.
"What are you talking about, haven't you eaten in the car before? And it's not dinner time yet," Nanase urged, "let's hurry over, we've all been waiting." ”
Gao Cheng closed the door and followed Nanase through the corridor, suddenly noticing that there was the sea outside the window at the end, and looking down was a high cliff.
"It's built on the edge of a cliff! It's dangerous! ”
"But the scenery here is very good, and I have longed for it since I was a child to be able to look at the sea like this," Nanase said with an envious face, "Shiroto, you are so famous now, you should be able to make a lot of money, right?" Maybe there will be one like this in the future. ”
Gao Cheng smiled bitterly: "You think too well, I'm just a detective, how much money can I make......"
"What detective?" Several seniors from the drama department happened to come over from the theater and looked at Gao Cheng and the two in surprise.
"It's a drama, we're talking about the drama of the last Didan University campus festival," Gao Cheng said with a dry smile, "Last time we performed a detective drama together. ”
Several seniors didn't care, they just called Gao Cheng and said, "You guys can also come and help, and then go to the sound room later." ”
In the annex theater, several theater actors have already started rehearsals, and they want to enjoy the performances of the senior sisters offstage at a high cost, but they are reduced to moving props and equipment with Nanase.
"Really, didn't you say you're in charge of the sound? Why did you become a coolie? ”
"There's no way, there's a serious shortage of manpower," Nanase said with a bitter face, "For the sake of free travel and staying in a luxury villa, don't complain." ”
"It looks like it's going to rain outside, and it's so windy." Gao Cheng looked at the wind blowing outside the corridor, looking like a rainstorm was coming.
"It's not an open-air theater, what are you worried about?"
"But I still want to go outside......"
"There's still a week to go, and when it's over today, there's still a few days to play," Yuji Arimori, a sophomore in charge of the props, said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the sound room first, Mr. Ogata will guide them in rehearsals, and I'll teach you how to make the sound." ”
"I'm sorry for you."
Gao Cheng followed Yuji Arimori up to the sound room facing the stage, and through the glass window, he could clearly see the audience and the stage where the lights gathered.
Hidaka Senpai is still so cute on stage, wearing an off-the-shoulder white dress to play the role of a weirdo who wears a hood, a high hat, and a white mask on his face...... This kind of role is almost like this, and it's not scary at all, as if it was played by the former head of the theater department, Mitsuhiko Fushi.
"In this building, there are really opera house weirdos, just looking at you quietly in the dark, something terrible will happen......"
"Ah——!h
"Wait a minute, Hidaka!" Mr. Ogata shouted, "The other party is an opera house weirdo, so you have to be more scared, and it was a scream of a pervert just now...... Let's do it again, just like that! ”
Gao Cheng looked at the stage through the glass, with no interest on his face: "Is this kind of drama really popular?" ”
"It's just rehearsals right now, so it might be boring, but when you put the sound effects in the show, you will feel good." Yuji Arimori blew the dust off the equipment.
Gao Cheng choked and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose to help clean up: "This place seems to have not been used for a long time." ”
"yes, I heard that the theater will be demolished after this holiday, and we may be using it for the last time."
Yuji Arimori tried the stereo, and suddenly said to Gao Cheng: "Kanedaichi, can you help me pick up the script?" I'll teach you the order in which the sound effects are played...... Kazukun Kaneda? ”
Gao Cheng was looking at the stage, and reacted to calling himself, and quickly nodded: "Okay." ”
