Chapter 30: The Stage of Light
Reading, sleeping, watching movies, and reading can make people unaware of the passage of time, and when one is immersed in work, one forgets time and lets it slip away.
After Gu Wu went to the parking lot with Sui Naiguo and Xiao Bird to check, he ran into Nicole, Rin, and Hua Yang who were collecting seals.
Since Gu Wu was wearing the clothes of the operating committee, the three girls identified Gu Wu as an official and asked him if he had a way to quickly collect seals, and the result was of course 'NO', because Gu Wu didn't know much about it.
Although he wanted to go shopping around the festival with Sui Naiguo and the others, Gu Wu still had a job, after all, Miss Youzi sent a notice that she needed help.
However, there was still half an hour before he helped in the past, so Gu Wu had a competition with Xi and Eri, who he met by chance, that is, the more traditional festival envy goldfish, and the person who won the big victory in the end was Gu Wu.
As for the next airsoft shooting and sticker picking, it also ended in Gu Wu's victory, and he found that he was quite good at these games.
After giving the gifts and prizes to the girls, Gu Wu set off to the location of Miss Youzi and found that he was helping to prepare some puzzles.
Now many people are too busy to open the glue, and the work of preparing the puzzle falls on Gu Wu and the others.
"There's a lot more to the festival, and the lifts and circumambulations are over in the morning, but then there's the parade and the boat race."
After finishing speaking, Miss Wanderer began to write down the puzzles she had thought of on the paper.
Gu Wu remembered that the rowing competition was held near the harbor, and it was said that it was to keep the gods of the sea from hanging aside, thus conveying the lively atmosphere.
There is also a prayer event at the shrine, and there are some kagura dance performances starting in the afternoon.
"It's almost ΞΌ's showtime, right?"
In the room, Ryotaro, who was sitting on a chair pouring tea, muttered, his eyes falling on the sky outside the house.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded, and several security personnel appeared at the entrance of the room, who were originally in charge of patrolling this area, and came to talk to Miss Youzi.
"Miss Wanderer, we're ready to go to the stage!"
"Thank you for seeing a few news reporters, I was photographed, I don't know if it will appear on the news."
"Don't stink and be beautiful, it's just a small show on a local station......"
Miss Wanderer put down the things in her hand, and she took out her hand to look at the time.
"No problem, let's follow the predetermined plan."
Several security personnel nodded in unison, and then disappeared into the entrance.
Ryotaro brought the poured tea to Gu Wu and Miss Youzi, and he leaned against the window.
"It's almost dusk, so I'm going to see the girls perform."
"By the way, Mr. Ryotaro, what about the little boy you and Miss Yuko took care of before?"
"He handed over his mother to the lost center on the radio, after all, Tsukigocho is not big."
I see, this is the first time that two people have worked together? But Gu Wu couldn't feel how much the distance between the two of them had narrowed......
It took about twenty minutes, and after finishing the work, Gu Wu also left for the stage, and the people with him were Liao Taro.
As for Miss Youzi, she planned to talk to the reporter who had been invited.
Arriving at the stage, the security personnel who arrived here one step ahead of time were already on standby, not knowing how many spectators the free admission would attract.
"I'll wait here."
Liao Taro did not continue to follow Gu Wu to the backstage, but stood and waited in the 'audience seat' surrounded by the parking lot.
Gu Wu nodded and went to the backstage.
Since there was a sign at the door that said "Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter", Gu Wu knocked on the door cautiously, and it took a while for someone to respond.
"I'll be ready to change my clothes soon!"
It's Rin's voice.
The door then opened, and the girls who were already dressed in their costumes stood out more than before.
The costume is a one-piece dress with decorations added to the costume, and the costume part on the back is a cheongsam-like skirt with a fishtail pattern fluttering from the previous one.
"Come on!"
Honoka, who was the leader of the team, stretched out his right hand, and the others also stepped up.
"Mr. Gu Wu, do you want to come along?"
"I'm fine."
Gu Wu, who put his hand up, let out a cry to boost morale with them.
But when Gu Wu looked at the audience on the side of the stage-
ββ¦β¦β
The few are pitiful.
The scattered audience did not add up to 30 people, and counting the few people who were slowly entering, it would reach 30 people at most.
There are many, many more open spaces in the rest of the parking lot, which highlights the scarcity of spectators.
"No one?"
Sui Naiguo, who ran to Gu Wu's side, also saw the scene in front of him.
"It can't be helped, after all, we were invited here suddenly, and we won't get much attention when performing at such a festival."
"As far as I know, the Toyoyue Festival in Tsukigami is an ever-evolving festival."
Historically, the festival used to be monotonous, but now that there are so many more projects, it means that the residents of Tsukiyo Town can accept new changes in their bones.
"I'm trying to figure it out."
"It's too late to publicize now, it's enough to have an audience."
"It's okay."
The girls spent five or six days practicing the choreography for this performance with high intensity, even if it was not long, it meant that they had paid, even Gu Wu wanted to be recognized.
But how?
Gu Wu didn't know.
It is too late to distribute leaflets, and casual announcements are obviously not reliable.
With such a small audience, it doesn't play a propaganda role at all.
Just when Gu Wu was worried, Mr. Mitsumura's voice sounded not far away, and there were people from the shopping street standing beside him.
"Now you can get free vouchers and souvenirs by watching the show!"
"A free souvenir for everyone who attends!"
"The show is about to begin! Let's take a look! β
Helped......
Mr. Hikarimura and others, who were originally opposed, suddenly attracted the audience.
Gu Wu also ran over, and a group of people also passed by him at the same time.
"Mr. Mitsumura!"
"It's noisy! I only advertised it for Tsukiyo Town! After all, there are also our taiko drum performances! And so on, other shows will borrow your stage as well! β
"Thank you very much."
"Then, hand out the voucher."
"But who's going to pay for it?"
Gu Wu's question was ignored by Mr. Mitsumura, who didn't seem to want to say anything more.
Due to the role of souvenirs, vouchers, and other publicity, many tourists have moved to this area.
Clickββ!
Gu Wu heard the sound of the switch, and the stage behind him, which was originally illuminated by the afterglow of dusk, lit up.
The dazzling light dominated the entire area, and the stage that was drenched in light now seemed impossible to take your eyes off.
