Chapter 54 (54) Cultural Sacrifice
"I've finally made up my mind to get a feel for life here...... Kagome said helplessly, "but it's time for such an inconsequential time......
"But wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the annual cultural festival with your classmates?" Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Oh......" Kagome didn't seem interested.
"Well, let's go to the cultural festival!" Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Huh?" Kagome looked at Chu Yue strangely.
"Let's go to the cultural festival!" Chu Yue said loudly again, "Kagome, you are just in time to participate in the cultural festival now, and besides, all programs need reserves, don't they?" ”
"Reserves?" Kagome asked Chu Yue.
"Hmm...... Are you here or am I here......" Chu Yue couldn't help but complain.
"Well, it's probably logistics supplies, substitute players or something, right?" Kagome smiled awkwardly.
"Well, almost." Chu Yue nodded, "Besides, I'd love to see your school's cultural festival!" Without Kagome, this cultural festival would not be complete! ”
"There's such an exaggerated ...... there," Kagome turned her head and complained, but she also regained her strength, "Okay! I'll just participate in the cultural festival! ”
"Hmm!" Chu Yue cheered Kagome up.
……
The next day, at the school gate.
"Ah, it's Kagome!" Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi came together.
"Ah, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi." Kagome greeted the three of them, then looked back and said strangely, "Huh? What about Chu Yue's seniors? ”
"Is Chu Yue's classmate here too?" The three of them were immediately excited.
"Ah, I was supposed to be here...... "Kagome explained, "but I was still here just now, but I didn't expect it to be gone......"
"Really?" Yuga and the three looked at each other.
"It looks like it's really a cultural festival...... "Kagome said as she looked at the school that was preparing for the cultural festival.
"That's right." Eri said, "Kagome, you've been sick for a long time. It's time for the cultural festival. ”
"Hmm......" Kagome couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she thought that she hadn't been able to return to the life of an ordinary female junior high school student when she came back this time.
"What's wrong, Kagome?" Yuka asked, "You don't look good......"
"That's not going to work, Kagome." Ayumi also said, "Ah, by the way, why don't you come to the cultural festival Kagome!" ”
"Participate in the cultural festival," Kagome repeated, "...... you don't really want me to be a reserve, do you?" ”
"Ah, Kagome, do you want to be a reserve?" Eri immediately asked.
"Kagome's words will definitely be done." Yukama continued.
"Then, Kagome, you're going to participate in the cultural festival!" After Ayumi finished speaking, the three of them pulled Kagome into the school together.
In the classroom, three girls surround Kagome.
"What do you need me to do?" Kagome asked.
"Chorus." Ayumi said.
"Chorus?"
"Cuisine on display." Yuga said.
"Cooking?"
"Stage play." Eri said.
"A stage play?"
"Play the heroine's friend, Briliant." Eri explained again.
"Briliant......" Kagome thought for a moment and said, "So, what do I do of these three?" ”
"All of them, of course." Yuga said.
"Why?" Kagome was shocked.
"Because you're in reserve." Eri said first.
"I'd love you to sing." Ayumi said with a smile.
"We've been preparing and practicing until now." Yuga explained, "You only need to practice for a few days before you start in earnest, and the three events are also very easy. ”
"Yes......" Kagome agreed Dead Fisheyes......
……
On the other side, Chu Yue was still wandering around the school......
"Wow, sure enough, the school is the most beautiful place......" Chu Yue sighed as she walked.
"Huh? This is ......" walked in front of a haunted house, and Chu Yue couldn't help but poke her head inside.
"Hey! Who are you?! "A one-eyed long-tongued monster is called Chu Yue in the house.
"That...... I'm here to visit......" Chu Yue smiled awkwardly.
"Visited?" The one-eyed long-tongued monster said, "Are you from another school?" The festival hasn't started yet, so please don't come in yet. It's not ready here. ”
"Yes...... Chu Yue hurriedly responded and retreated.
"Hawkers, I thought there were any very fresh monsters...... Chu Yue said helplessly, "I didn't expect that modern people still think about that, and they don't ......have any creativity at all."
At this time, a girl in a princess dress walked over.
"Huh?" Chu Yue immediately noticed the girl, "Is it a stage game?" Or is it a costume exhibition? Or is it...... Anime cosplay? ”
"Well, let's go check it out." With that, Chu Yue followed the girl to a place full of COS.
"Hmm...... It seems that it's not just the COS of the anime......" Chu Yue said as she looked at the scene in front of her.
In a corridor in front of me, there are all kinds of COS, although this world is not the same world as Chu Yue's original real world, but Chu Yue, as an otaku, can still see at a glance that there are not only anime COS, but also some game COS, or some exotic costumes, there is no plot at all, just good-looking dress.
"It seems that it's a kind of costume exhibition......," Chu Yue said, "I directly included the anime COS, and I watched the performance without a special anime COS." ”
However, Chu Yue is still quite excited, she has always longed for COS in the original world, but she just arrived at the university and had the opportunity to participate in some COS in person, so she was brought here by Gaia and Alaye, and now there is another opportunity in front of her, how can she waste it?
"Hehehehe......" Chu Yue walked into a room with a smile.
"Hmm......" Chu Yue was stunned as she looked at the scene in front of her......
A room full of skirts......
"I seem to ...... Entered the wrong room......" Chu Yue said helplessly. Just as he was about to open the door and go out, he suddenly heard the voices of several girls outside the door, and Chu Yue hurriedly hid behind a pile of clothes.
"Okay, I'll just go in alone." Outside, Kagome greeted the others and walked in by herself.
"Huh? Is it Kagome? Of course, Chu Yue heard Kagome's voice, but Kagome walked in immediately, so it was directly confirmed.
"Hey, Kagome." Chu Yue called Kagome softly.
"Huh?" Hearing Chu Yue's voice, Kagome looked left and right, and immediately found Chu Yue.
"Senior Chu Yue?!" Kagome exclaimed in surprise.
"Shhhh
"Oh oh...... Kagome covered her mouth and said again, "Senior Chu Yue, why are you here?" Why did you just come to school this morning and you disappeared? ”
"Hehe......" Chu Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "Because I'm afraid of those classmates of yours......"
"Mine those, classmates?" Kagome's mind came to the image of Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"They...... Not...... It's nothing...... It's just that I can't handle it. ”
"Huh?" Kagome immediately understood that even if she was a girl, and she had been with them for a long time, she couldn't cope with the three of them many times, let alone Chu Yue? However, Chu Yue, who has always been almost omniscient and omnipotent in that world, would be afraid of the three little girls in this world, Kagome sighed a lot......
"Then, Senior Chu Yue, how did you get here...... Kagome looked left and right, "here...... Hmmm......"
"This ......" Chu Yue said, "I was originally wandering around, and when I got here, I saw that there was a place with a lot of COS, so I also wanted to wear a dress or two to see......"
"Hmm......" Kagome looked at Chu Yue with strange eyes......
"Hey, hey! You are misunderstood! Chu Yue hurriedly explained, "Because I'm not from this school!" Of course, I couldn't ask anyone directly, so I had to sneak into a room by myself...... I didn't expect to get into such a ...... Not...... A room full of girls' clothes......"
"Hahahaha......" Kagome directly covered her stomach and laughed when she heard it, but because Chu Yue didn't let her make a sound and couldn't laugh out loud, Kagome was very uncomfortable......
"Hey, hey!" Chu Yue reluctantly called Kagome twice.
"......Uh-huh," Kagome tried to stop laughing, "but, even though it's all from this school, I have a lot of people I don't know, and many of them are not in the same class." ”
I'm going to ...... How did I forget this stubble!! Chu Yue shouted in her heart, but quickly changed the topic, "Kagome, why are you here?" ”
"I'm going to perform a stage play, so I came over to get the costumes." Kagome replied.
"Are you here to get your costume so early?" Chu Yue asked with some surprise, "Isn't it just as long as you wear it during the official performance?" "In my own world, when there is a performance, I only wear formal clothes when I perform in a formal performance. Because those clothes are only used for so little time, and most of them are rented, I don't usually wear formal clothes for practice.
"Well," Kagome nodded, "Eri said, bring the costume first, and you'll be able to use it soon when you need it......"
"Hmm......" Chu Yue immediately understood, other people's clothes are their own, they don't need to rent it, they can wear it whenever they want! After thinking for a long time, Chu Yue finally said, "It turns out that Kagome is going to perform a stage play." When the time comes, I will definitely go to the party. ”
"Soon it's going to be a stage play!" Kagome immediately said, "As soon as I said this, I was angry, the three of them actually asked me to participate in different shows, there was a stage play, there was a chorus, and that food!" ”
"Hehe," Chu Yue smiled, "Who made you a reserve." ”
"It won't be Senior Chu Yue, you expected it a long time ago, right?" Kagome suddenly had a sign of blackening......
"Of course not!" Chu Yue said immediately.
"Well, forget it......" Kagome lifted her blackening, "Does Chu Yue's seniors also want to participate in the cultural festival?" ”
"Sort of...... Chu Yue said, "I like the COS here." ”
"COS......" Kagome looked at Chu Yue, and then began to look at Chu Yue......
"......" Because she was afraid that someone would come in again at this time, Chu Yue had been hiding behind a pile of clothes, and at this time, Kagome looked at Chu Yue all over her body, which made Chu Yue very uncomfortable......
"Hey...... Kagome, what are you looking at? Chu Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm...... I think, Senior Chu Yue, you are very suitable......" Kagome nodded and said.
"Suitable?" Chu Yue asked strangely at first, and then immediately understood, "Isn't it?" I'm a man! ”
"Well, don't worry about it, come on, come on, try this dress......" Kagome smiled evilly, took off the skirt in front of Chu Yue, and said to Chu Yue.
"Hey! Don't bring such! Chu Yue shouted directly, and it didn't matter that this was the girl's clothing room.
"Huh?!" Outside the house, many girls opened the door and came in immediately after hearing the voice of a boy in this room.
"Are there any boys? Kagome? "Girls who know Kagome immediately see Kagome's dress.
"Huh? That ...... "Kagome wanted to say that there was, but Chu Yue directly teleported and disappeared, and there was no evidence to say that there was!" And Chu Yue also helped herself a lot...... Forget it......
"No," Kagome said, "what's the matter, so many people coming in?" ”
The girls who came in looked at each other, and then most of them walked out, leaving a few people who came in with Kagome, and a few of them told Kagome that they heard the boys' voices outside, so everyone came in.
"Really?" Kagome smiled awkwardly.
"Anyway, let's be careful," one girl said, "let's get the clothes for the show with Kagome." ”
"Hmm." The other girls all nodded, and Kagome, of course, didn't say anything more.
Outside the house, Chu Yue was also relieved after watching Kagome and a few girls leave with their clothes, and finally didn't cause any big trouble.
Of course, this time Chu Yue asked a few students directly, and found some costume rooms of anime COS, these costume rooms not only have costumes, but also many comic books......
On Kagome's side, the chorus is not loud enough, the performance amplitude is not big enough, and the voice is not emotional enough......
As for the cuisine......
"It's like making a rare dish...... Yuka said, looking at the recipe.
"I'm pretty good at wild cooking." Kagome said with the skin of the potato.
"Is it anything like barbecue?" Yuga asked.
"For example, grilled fish on a bonfire, wild vegetables on a bonfire, etc." Kagome paused to explain.
Yuka continued to look down at the book, "Shut up and get to work." ”
“……”
……
In this way, Kagome, who was tired for a day, and Chu Yue, who had read a book for a day, returned to Kagome's house.
"I'm back......" Kagome walked into the house leaning against the wall.
"Oh! Sister, I'm back. Kusa said hello.
"You look tired...... grandpa said.
"yes......" Kagome said weakly.
"Because Kagome participated in a lot of events today." Chu Yue explained later.
"Kagome, this one you brought is delicious." Grandpa said with the dry goods that Kagome brought from the Warring States.
"Ah, that...... It's the 'White Monk'. Chu Yue immediately saw the dry goods in her grandfather's hand and said.
"'White Monk'?" Grandpa asked strangely, "What is it?" ”
"It's a youkai!" Chu Yue replied truthfully.
"Youkai?" Grandpa and Kusa looked at each other.
"Senior Chu Yue, what's going on?!" Compared to Grandpa and Kusata, Kagome immediately became serious, if it was really a youkai, it would be troublesome.
"Well, it's nothing, it's just some miscellaneous monsters." Chu Yue explained, "It's a monster mycelium called 'White Monk', and it's okay to eat it directly. However, if you cook it, you will become a new white monk. ”
"Huh?!" Kagome was immediately stunned.
"In other words, as long as you don't cook it, you'll be fine, right?" Grandpa finds the point.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "The same goes for other dry goods. It's okay to eat it straight, but don't heat it up. Generally, as soon as it is heated, it becomes a new youkai. ”
"Really? I'll pay attention to that. Grandpa said.
"Well, grandpa, since it's so dangerous, don't eat it!" Kagome said with some dissatisfaction.
"But, this one is delicious." Grandpa said with a smile.
"Uh......" Kagome was speechless.
"It's okay, sister." Kusata also said, "As long as it's not hot, isn't it okay?" ”
Kagome had no choice but to turn her head to Chu Yue for help.
"It's fine." Chu Yue smiled brightly......
Well, I'm defeated...... Kagome thought, however, with Chu Yue's seniors here, there was no danger.
"Forget it, I'm going to rest for a while." Kagome walked upstairs.
"Well, I'll try it too." Chu Yue walked to the table and sat down.
……
The next day, school.
Choir Division.
"Okay, a little bit louder." Ayumi conducts the chorus.
There was a knock on the door.
"Huh?" Ayumi stopped conducting, and everyone stopped singing.
By the door, a girl wearing a mask said, "Ayumi, I'm sorry...... I have a cold......"
"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned.
"I'm sorry...... Ahem......"
"Needless to say," Ayumi said quickly, "this is something that can't be helped, so you can rest first." ”
"......" Ayumi thought for a moment, then turned to Kagome and said, "Kagome, please leave the chorus of the contralto part to you." ”
"Huh? What is a solo?! Kagome was immediately surprised.
Stage plays.
"Maki, don't you matter?" Eri and a few girls said around a girl holding her ankles.
"It hurts......" the girl named Maki said immediately.
"Anyway, get to the infirmary first." Eri said to another girl.
"Hmm." The other girl nodded and sent Maki to the medical room. And Maki happens to be the heroine, and without the heroine, everyone's drama will be delayed.
After a while.
"What's wrong?" Eri asked the girl who came back.
"It's a sprain." The girl who came back replied, "I can't move these days." ”
"......" Eri frowned and looked down for a moment, then turned to Kagome and said, "Briliant." ”
"Huh? What the? Kagome replied.
"From now on, you are no longer Briante, but the main character, Princess Escarugo."
"Ah???!!!h Kagome exclaimed, "How can this be?!" ”
Cooking Department.
"Don't you think it's too much?" Kagome kept pounding the sugar noodles in her hands, as if she wanted to tilt her anger on the sugar noodles, "In this case, it can't be regarded as a substitute at all, it's a substitute!" ”
"Right?" Kagome asked Yuga next to her.
"No...... I can't find any good food," says Yuka.
"Really...... I didn't listen at all......" Kagome reluctantly continued to pound.
"It's impactful, it's eye-catching, and you've never seen anything like that, you know?"
"I don't know." Kagome didn't lift her head.
"Then you can look for it!" Yuka said with a smile.
"Huh?" Kagome immediately listened to the work in hand, "I'm done with this, I have to do solo practice, and I have to go back to rehearse the stage play......"
"Please!" Yuka directly told Kagome to shut up......
……
On the rooftop.
"Don't say anything like 'please'!!!!!!"
With a loud yell, Kagome felt a lot more comfortable, lying on the railing and gasping for breath.
"Yo, it's you." Chu Yue teleported to Kagome's side.
"Senior Chu Yue?"
"I've heard that you've participated in so many activities, and you're really energetic."
"It was forced!" Kagome immediately shouted.
"Yes, but you can handle it." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Ahh I seem to have a good idea. Kagome suddenly turned red and looked at Chu Yue expectantly.
"Uh......" Chu Yue had a bad premonition......
……
In one room, Kagome handed Chu Yue a piece of clothing.
"Huh? What is this? Chu Yue asked Kagome strangely.
"Well, don't worry about it, Senior Chu Yue, didn't you already promise me that I could help me? Besides, you persuaded me to participate in the cultural festival in the first place, didn't you? Now that I need your help, shouldn't you help me? ”
"Oh......" Of course, Chu Yue didn't know what the hell Kagome was thinking, but she couldn't refuse. Seeing Kagome walk out, he had to put on the casual clothes that Kagome had given him.
"I'm ready!" Chu Yue replied.
"Hmm." Kagome walked in from outside the house and said, closing her eyes.
"Close your eyes?" Chu Yue was even more strange.
"yes, what's so strange about that." Kagome said directly in a commanding tone.
"Okay......" Chu Yue closed her eyes helplessly. Then it felt like Kagome was on her face, her eyes, and her mouth not knowing what to fiddle with.
Thankfully, it didn't take long, though, and when it was over, Kagome said, "Okay, you can open your eyes." ”
Although it was a little uncomfortable to be fiddled with by Kagome, it was still bearable, Chu Yue opened her eyes and saw Kagome.
"Let's go! Come with me to the cooking room! Kagome nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled Chu Yue towards the cooking room.
Cooking room.
"I'm back!" Kagome said as she walked in.
"Huh? So fast? Yuka looked at Kagome in surprise, "Did you find something that is both impactful and eye-catching?" ”
"Found it!" Kagome said, "That's him!" As he spoke, he pointed at Chu Yue.
"Huh?" Yuga said with some surprise, "Kagome...... Cannibalism is a crime......"
"When did I say we were going to eat him!" Kagome immediately shouted, "He's the one who cooks!" ”
Chu Yue was about to say something, but Kagome immediately went over to cover Chu Yue's mouth.
"But...... Can this girl do it? Yuka looked skeptical.
However, this sentence was a bolt from the blue for Chu Yue!
She said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl, she said girl......
In an instant, Chu Yue only had such words in his mind......
"Well! Trust me! Kagome winked at Yuga.
"Hmm...... All right. Yuka nodded helplessly.
