Chapter 61: After the Awards Debate, Celebrate the Big Selling of Light Novels

On stage, not only to receive the award, but also to take a group photo, to add material to the promotion of the cultural festival of Mikagehama High School.

It also gave a commemorative look to the students who participated in the stage performance.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked everyone to wear the costumes they wore during the performance.

"Oh no, Yu, did I make Yayoi-san angry?" Muraichi Konda asked a little nervously.

Narumi glanced at him, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem." ”

Knowing that Kinda Muraichi and Yayoi Autumn are not in good shape, he has to ask Kinda Muraichi to help him take care of the stall.

"Oh......" Konda, who almost all the skill points are on the movement, nodded as if he didn't understand.

Asahi Kurako took the crew of Class C of the second year of high school to the stage, and Shiina Weiyang was pulled to the front by them, and he silently followed at the end, trying to maintain an unobtrusive and transparent state.

"Hey! Knight San, the protagonist has to stand at the front! ”

“……”

There is no way, so you can only stand in front.

It didn't matter if he attracted the audience's attention, he just didn't want to get too close to Yayoi Akiza.

As is customary, someone needs to deliver the acceptance speech.

And Yayoi Akizao is probably lazy, and will only hand the microphone to the person closest to her.

When the third place in the high school group came on the stage, she handed the microphone to a supporting character with only one line, and passed it around before reaching the protagonist.

The first row now stands the little witch, the narrator, the king, and the mage.

Yayoi Aki was already next to the mage, and Narumi silently walked to the little witch on the other side and stood still.

He glanced at Yayoi Akihaya, only to see that she was walking towards him with the microphone.

"I heard them say that Narumi-san is the main character, then, let's talk about it."

The girl, who was forced to be the host as the president of the student union, stuffed the microphone into his hand expressionlessly, glanced at Shiina Weiyang next to her, and said in a flat tone.

But definitely.

Narumi Yu felt a headache.

He was forcibly dragged over in the last few days of rehearsals, and he only practiced for two days, so naturally he couldn't say anything like hard work.

Whether it is the time and energy paid, or the performance on the stage, it is not his turn to take the microphone.

Shiina Miyo next to him was nervously clasping his hands together, and Asahi Kurako was too far away from him to hand it over.

He looked at the girl in charge of the narration and saw that she was also staring at him.

The girl saw Narumi Yu looking at herself, and pointed to the script in her hand that proved that she was a narrator and not an unrelated person.

The open script can be roughly seen to be the last page, because the last three lines are handwritten, and it is the only place where he has taken the initiative to propose changes.

[……]

["So, what is right and wrong......]

[At this moment, more than ten years after the girl came to the forest, the witch asks again.] ]

[But this time, it's not the girl who asks, it's herself.] ]

Narumi came back to his senses, organized the language, and looked at the audience and spoke:

"Everyone, do you remember the last question raised by the little witch's teacher in "The Knight and the Witch"?"

"Do you think the invading side is right? Can the lack of supplies and the lack of livelihood be a reason to invade other countries? ”

The students in the audience clearly didn't expect the question to come to them out of nowhere.

There were loose "can't" voices, and there were no sounds, silently shaking their heads and denying it.

But there are also students who nodded their heads.

Narumi Yu picks a student who nods to roll call him and let him have his say.

"Since that snowy field is also the territory of the kingdom, why did the kingdom choose to abandon those who lived on the snowy field instead of helping them? Isn't it the responsibility of the kingdom to have a poor livelihood for the people? ”

The short-haired boy who was named did not have stage fright, and put forward his own point of view after receiving the microphone.

"If the kingdom has abandoned them, then why leave an oasis beyond the borders for them to live in? Why do so many people still emerge from the snow to survive in the oasis? How many of the corpses buried in the snow field were the people who came to the rescue of the kingdom? ”

"But...... It is also possible that the oasis was fought down by people living in the snowfield. ”

"Without the equipment and mages aided by other countries, can they really take the territory with almost no defense?"

"This ......" the short-haired boy scratched his head and bowed to Narumi to apologize, "I'm sorry, but I didn't think well enough." ”

It's not to blame him for this reaction, Narumi Yu is indeed a bit like a teacher asking questions to students at this moment.

"So, ask again." Narumi Yu's voice was gentle, "Is it right to invade the kingdom's snow country?" ”

"That's not right."

Putting aside the students who have been distracted and just want to end quickly, this time the voice is very neat, but there are still students who hesitate and do not respond.

"Since we have received equipment from other countries and have the mages they sent, it is also possible that the people of Snow Country were also coerced to have to invade."

A boy with glasses took the initiative to retort.

"Do you remember what the peasants the little witch met on the road said?"

[Are you also a mage who came to help us?] ]

This is the case even for civilians, let alone soldiers and soldiers who go to the front line.

Where there is a talk of coercion.

"Ah......h

Yayoi Akizao glanced at Narumi Yu with some confusion.

Just now, I deliberately avoided her, and I thought it was troublesome to make a speech, but now why did she suddenly change her appearance, and even had the leisure to start a debate......

"Again, is the invasion correct?"

"That's not right!"

Muraichi Konda led a group of people below, and his neat and loud voice startled the absent-minded students.

Then, whether it's coaxing or echoing, or wanting to let Narumi end his speech as soon as possible...... The other students in the audience also shouted out.

"Hey! Narumi asked because she was a knight of the kingdom! "The invading side defense mage fought for himself.

"Then Master Mage thinks it's right to invade?" Yuya Narumi pretended to bring in the role of a knight to ask her.

"That's not right...... Hehe...... "The invading dialectist abandons the darkness and turns to the light."

The narrator looked at him with a little more admiration, and smiled a little awkwardly when he saw him looking at himself.

"What about Yayoi-san?"

"'The Knight and the Witch' ends well in this way." Yayoi took the microphone back early, "The invasion is wrong no matter what, and the script glorifies the invasion as a desperate last battle, which is a complete failure." ”

"If Narumi can reasonably add all the things he just said to the script, it is natural to get this first place."

The girl with a double ponytail who was in charge of the script stood next to her, blushing when she was said.

But the short story award where she won the silver award, Yayoi Akizao, also participated, and finally won the silver award, but it was in the adult group, and she was not at the same level as the youth group at all.

Yayoi Autumn got out of the way and left the photo range.

After a slight adjustment, the photographer pressed the shutter to announce the end of the cultural festival stage drama competition.

Narumi Yu went to the changing room to change back into his school uniform, and when he came out, he found Yayoi Aki standing in front of the door waiting for him, looking down at his mobile phone, as if there was no one around.

I didn't care if the boys who came in and out of the changing room were frightened.

"What's wrong?"

"The editor of Wencun wants to invite us to dinner to celebrate the big sale of "The Demon King and the Angel"."

The girl's fingers tapped quickly on the phone screen, as if replying to a message,

"You, me, Ichijo-san, Bunmura Editor, Kamigawa Editor, and ...... It should be Shunsuke Emori, the teacher in charge of illustration. ”
