The third day of the incense festival...... It was a rainy day.

The dark and oppressive clouds cover the sky, and the dense clouds do not rain, which makes people feel depressed, and even the lively atmosphere of the aromatherapy festival is difficult to dissipate.

The air is filled with moisture, but the heat of midsummer only makes people feel hot and humid, and walking around outside makes you slimy and annoying.

Therefore, most people go to large shopping malls, restaurants, theaters and other places with air-conditioning, and thanks to this, the dramas on display in the theaters are basically full, whether they are good or not...... So it's a good thing.

By the way, Miss Chiba, the producer of "Snow White and the Seven Pokémon", heard the news of Xu Qiansu's rehearsal in the theater out of nowhere, and immediately brought a large number of people to visit, and expressed her gratitude to Xu Qiansu with red eyes.

According to her, the subject they studied at university was drama performance...... In this world where Pokémon battles are prevalent, it is purely an unpopular profession...... Although they have solid basic skills, they do not have the talent and creativity to excel, and they do not have the opportunity...... The future life can be seen at a glance...... That is, no matter how hard they work and how much they love drama performance, they will be forced to change careers in the future because of their livelihood.

But that's the life of an ordinary person.

However, they were lucky to meet Xu Qiansu, and with a good script, they had the capital to continue to stick to their dreams in this industry.

Miss Chiba was so moved that if it weren't for Gadelia by her side, she would probably have dedicated herself on the spot to express her gratitude.

Xu Qiansu didn't let her dedicate herself...... just let her call a wave of people to act as a trick.

These tricks don't have lines, they are used to stand on top to support the field, and as professionals, they can have no stage fright with a little rehearsal.

Xu Qiansu stood in front of the window on the second floor, leaning over and looking down.

The stage of the theater is large, no less than a small Pokémon vs. Battlefield...... There is a reason for this, because in this world, even dramas have elements of Pokémon battles.

Therefore, it is not accurate to say that it is a drama, it should be called a drama.

In addition, the Carlos region is already a popular performing culture, and it is the source of Pokémon performers, and the world's most popular actors are also here...... Unlike the war-thirsty Galar, this is a cultural capital.

Under the stage, it is even more vast, at the moment the seats are full, black pressing, they are also holding all kinds of fluorescent cards to call for their favorite dramas, at a glance they still think this is the scene of a concert.

Shanaiduo put on a black tights, wrapping her slender and beautiful figure, and covered the lower half of her face with a mask, revealing a pair of bright golden eyes, and a leg ring was tied on the outer thigh of the tights, and a throwing knife and dagger were pinned to it...... She looks like a cold, restrained and low-key female assassin.

Karunai held his hands behind his back, looking back and forth around Shanaiduo like a parent, his eyebrows and eyes showed a little approval, and he said: "I have to say that the Pokémon of Shanaiduo's race are really very similar to human women...... When you dress up like this, you wrap yourself tightly, and at a glance you really think you are some kind of cold and arrogant female assassin. ”

Shanado was in no mood to heed Karunai's compliment, and she sat down in her chair a little nervously, her little hands tightly twisted together.

Fighting a Pokémon battle in front of so many people is easy, after all, it's really a fight, and it's all on the opponent, who cares if anyone watches the battle...... But performing a drama, every move, every word must be according to the script, and if something goes wrong, it will be too embarrassing for Su Su...... So Rao is Shanaiduo is also very nervous at the moment, and her heart is fluttering, just like a junior high school girl who is participating in the New Year's Day party for the first time.

Dale sat next to Shanaiduo, also wearing the exotic dark blue slanted skirt, revealing round and crystalline calves, and her skin was fair and smooth, like water tofu that came out of the water when she kneaded it.

She whispered to Shanaiduo...... Shanaiduo's scenes are in the first three acts, and they will be on the stage soon after the show starts, so it's normal to be nervous at the moment.

Xu Qiansu withdrew his gaze from the window, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.

The reason why he acted in the drama was just to fulfill Shanaiduo's cool chivalrous dream, but Xu Qiansu became the protagonist, which was really a mistake...... But since you decided to stand on stage and perform, you should go all out.

Xu Qiansu slowly walked to Shanaiduo and squatted down, pinched her soft little face, and didn't say anything pretty, just said briefly: "Come on." ”

Shanaiduo exhaled several deep breaths before slowly suppressing the thumping heartbeat.

"The crew of "Childe Stays" will be on the stage in half an hour." A theater worker knocked on the door and said loudly.

Ma Xiu hurriedly stuffed a white robe into Xu Qiansu's arms, "Hurry up, go change your clothes." ”

Ten minutes later, the crew downstairs had finished the performance, bowed to the audience and thanked them, and then ran away from the stage briskly, looking excited and relaxed that the performance was finally over.

The curtain was closed, and Miss Chiba led her team and hurriedly went to set up the stage.

Xu Qiansu sat in a chair, and Gadelia sat directly across from him, applying makeup to him.

"I didn't expect that it was just a drama, and I actually needed makeup." Xu Qiansu reached out and touched the unknown foundation on his face.

Gadelia slapped his hand away, and while concentrating on makeup, she casually explained: "If you don't wear makeup, you will be pale in the lights later, just like a zombie." ”

Zhulan, who was putting on makeup for Dale, looked at it and asked curiously, "What is a zombie?" ”

"Don't ask questions about things you don't understand." After putting on her makeup, Gadelia carefully looked at Xu Qiansu's handsome and dusty face.

"Hey, how do I feel that after you and Xu Qiansu are together, there are more and more things hiding from me!" Zhulan said dissatisfied.

"Does the audience really care about these details?" Xu Qiansu asked curiously.

"They don't care, what's my business?" Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu's face and showed a satisfied smile, "I just want you to become more in line with my aesthetics." ”

Zhulan stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, turned her head angrily, and continued to put on makeup for Dale.

Lilia stood aside holding a long sword, and looked at Xu Qiansu's face with a slightly red face.

Such a handsome face, dusty temperament, gentle person...... It's my boyfriend.

The man who is liked by countless people outside has a very gentle tone and a warm embrace when he talks to me, and when I speak, he always listens quietly and waits for me to finish...... When he was in bed, he was very different from usual, and he was close to ...... everywhere

Thundered.

There was thunder outside the window.

Ma Xiu opened the curtains, turned his head to look, the drizzle fell from the sky, and the whole aromatherapy city was shrouded in a hazy rain and mist, and the drizzle sprinkled on the window edge glass, making a slight sound.

Lilia came back to her senses suddenly, shook her head again and again, her little face turned even redder, and she secretly scolded herself in her heart for being really inappropriate, really, really erotic......

"The script of "Childe Stays" is ready to play." A staff member waited for the scene to be set up, then knocked on the door again and reminded.

The host's warm voice with a smile came from downstairs.

"The next thing to be staged is the action drama starring Xu Qiansu - "Childe Stays"!"

Whew————

The cold wind blew by, which seemed to lower the temperature of the air conditioner, making the audience tighten their clothes.

The lights of the theater flickered.

The curtain opened with the cold wind, and as far as the eye could see, there were layers of flying snow.

Someone couldn't help laughing, thinking to themselves why the script written by Xu Qiansu always snowed in the first act...... Could it be that he loves snow days?

But this time there was no plucking of the swan's hair...... With a snowstorm here, isn't the next snow easy?

With the presence of Pokémon, many troublesome things can be done simply.

Act I...... A jug of wine. ”

Miss Gadelia felt that her man's drama could not live without her own shadow, so she acted as a dubbing, her always lazy and elegant voice was full of seriousness and low at the moment, even if it was pleasant and good, but with the cold wind and heavy snow, the stage was filled with a sense of solemnity and coldness in an instant, so that the audience entered the play one after another, concentrated, and fixed their eyes.

In the midst of the heavy snowfall, a wine shop was in the middle of the stage, and an old man in his fifties and sixties sat alone in it, holding a pot of wine in his hand, "Today, I will tell you about a young man who saw injustice on the road and drew a sword to help. ”

At the old man's feet was a brazier, and wood rattled inside.

Many people nodded secretly, this brazier is the finishing touch, perfectly integrated into the heavy snow day of the story, and it is opened by a storyteller, which is relatively rare in drama.

There was only one storyteller on the stage, but it seemed that the audience was really sitting in a wine shop on a snowy day and listening to the story...... The sense of immersion is strong.

"It is said that three months ago, the river suffered a flood, and the people had no harvest, in this situation, the Yanhu water bandits took this opportunity to absorb the displaced people, strengthen themselves, and loot on a large scale, where they passed, there was no grass, and corpses were everywhere."

With the storyteller's deep voice, the heavy snow that originally only fell on the stage seemed to be blown by the cold wind and sprinkled onto the audience, and the cold and biting snowflakes seemed to really substitute people into that troubled world.

"Yan Lake? Isn't that the lake next to Aromatherapy City? ”

"There's a bandit there?"

"Thousands of years ago, the alliance was not established, the world was generally chaotic, and it was not surprising that there were water bandits."

"Also, looking at the dress, the background of the story is obviously ancient."

"No wonder, no wonder."

The audience discussed in a whisper, because the place where the story took place was not far from the aromatherapy city, so the sense of immersion was stronger for a while.

Moreover, there are endless cultural works about ancient times in this world, so I don't feel too disobedient.

Entertainment works, a hundred flowers are blooming, and a hundred schools of thought are contending.

Only the Pokémon looked dazed...... With their cognition, they have not studied history, and they still can't understand what kind of world the 'ancient troubled times' are.

The storyteller on the stage took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then said slowly: "That young man with a single sword, stepped into the water village alone, and ...... 108 bandits."

Speaking of this, the storyteller was stunned.

Some of the audience who were already in the audience were in a hurry, and urged repeatedly, "Keep talking!" ”

"What the hell is going on!?"

"Did you die there or did you come home victorious?"

The storyteller completely ignored the urging of the audience, and just smiled: "It's old, it's useless...... Before telling the story, how could you not know the name of that young man? ”

"Yes." The audience looked at each other.

Just as the storyteller was about to say the answer, a cool and slightly weak voice came from behind the stage, "Shopkeeper, do you have wine here?" ”

The audience listened to the sound.

A tall and tall white-robed boy stepped on the snow, and the falling snow piled up on his shoulders in small clumps, and then trembled slightly with his steps.

The white-robed boy carried a sword in one hand, with beautiful jade on the side, the sword eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were like stars, and his temperament was a bit extravagant.

"Xu Qiansu !!" The audience immediately exclaimed.

Xu Qiansu, as a trainer who has been in the limelight recently, has attracted the attention of countless people, in fact, if it weren't for him, the aromatherapy festival would not have come so many people...... To say that two-thirds of the audience is coming for him, it is no exaggeration, and the popularity is very high.

As soon as the exclamation started, a cold wind swept by, kicking up snow, making the audience calm down again, as if reminding them to watch the drama well.

The storyteller didn't continue, but smiled a little eagerly, and turned his head to look at the white-robed man, "All kinds of fine wines, everything." ”

It turns out that a storyteller is not a storyteller...... He is really a shopkeeper, but the young man he said before was obviously Xu Qiansu.

"That's not right! He's hurt! Someone exclaimed.

But when he saw the white-robed boy walking around, he left a pool of red marks behind him, and when he completely walked on the stage, he saw that his dusty white robe also had blood stains.

The white-robed boy was wounded and did not walk quickly, and when he sat down at the wine table, he put his long sword horizontally on his knees, and the shopkeeper had already brought him a full flask of wine, and took a few stacks of side dishes.

The white-robed boy rubbed his body, and then his movements stiffened slightly, and he was silent for a while, before he said with a little embarrassment: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry...... I fought with people before and lost two money. ”

After that, the white-robed boy was about to stand up, and the shopkeeper hurriedly pressed him down, and said with a smile: "A pot of wine." ”

"The eldest husband doesn't eat the food that comes to him." The shopkeeper's actions seemed to have touched the wound of the white-robed boy, making him gasp.

The shopkeeper gently spread his hands, "It's not right for me to affect Childe's injury...... This pot of wine should be an apology. ”

The white-robed boy pondered a little, smiled heartily, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, which attracted a burst of exclamations from the girls in the audience.

"But I'm being too hypocritical."

"Of course, it's just a pot of wine, and it's hypocritical to push and shove...... I'll pay for the drink, okay? Suddenly, a figure appeared beside the white-robed boy, and then threw a tael of money.

It's Shanaiduo...... She didn't wear that stabbing customer, but wore a simple and elegant crimson dress, facing the audience sideways, and she was cute and cute, so no one even found out that she was Shanaiduo for a while.

However, Shanaiduo can't speak, and the lines are dubbed by Zhulan.

The white-robed boy looked sideways, and then raised his eyebrows lightly, "Girl...... The button around your waist is not buttoned......"

After that, the white-robed boy started to button the girl in red......

The girl was slightly stunned, and then suddenly became embarrassed, and scolded, "Lust! ”

Immediately a palm slapped, the wind and snow were stirred by this palm, the white-robed boy's face changed slightly, turned his hand and raised his sword to block, only to hear the bang, the force passed through the white-robed boy, and it was directly smashed the wine table, and then the white-robed boy was like a kite with a broken string rolling half a circle in the snow, and then stood up with one hand on the snow, and some red blood was sprinkled in the snow.

"Mom! Shanaido beats up his own trainer! Someone with a sharp eye recognized Shanaiduo, and immediately exclaimed, and then couldn't help laughing.

Everyone knows that Shanaiduo is Xu Qiansu's trump card, and the relationship must be very good, but now he is fighting on the stage...... Not to mention, it's very interesting.

"You! Are you hurt? You okay? The girl in the red dress seemed to be possessed by Shanaiduo at the moment, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, her tone was slightly worried, and then she reacted, went directly into the play, and snorted coldly, "Your hands are not clean!" That's how it ended! ”

This is not a line in the script, it is that Shanaiduo is really afraid that she will hurt Xu Qiansu, that is, Zhulan reacted very quickly and hurriedly dubbed, otherwise she would be exposed.

On the second floor, Karunai sighed lightly, and then gave Zhulan an approving look.

The white-robed boy stood up, as if he was affected by the injury, his qi and blood were unstable, he gently raised his hand towards the girl in red, and said: "The palm technique is good, but look at the appearance, the girl is from other places?" I don't seem to be used to wearing clothes here......"

After that, the white-robed boy shook his head lightly and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Thank you for the shopkeeper's wine, it tastes good, I will come again." ”

The words fell, and the white-robed boy left directly.

"Childe stays!" The girl in red took a few steps forward in a slightly stunned manner, obviously not expecting this person to leave so quickly.

Seeing that the white-robed boy didn't turn back, she immediately chopped her feet, and then turned her head to look at the shopkeeper, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and then she snorted coldly and left directly.

The audience burst into laughter.

"Xu Qiansu and his Shanaiduo are going to act in an ancient idol drama?"

"Childe stays! Hahahaha. ”

"It seems to be an old-fashioned romantic comedy!"

"The trainer fell in love with his own Pokémon, and it was really a shame that Xu Qiansu could come up with it."

"Eh~ That's not right, the aromatherapy festival was originally prepared for Pokémon, how could Shanado not play the heroine?"

During the audience's discussion, the lights of the audience suddenly dimmed, and even the stage could not be seen clearly, and the audience was fascinated, looking at each other at this moment, stunned, but just a minute later, the stage lights came on again, and the background was a dark room.

But seeing the girl in the red dress directly lift her skirt, it made countless audiences' hearts jump immediately...... But when I looked closely, I was wearing a night dress under the red dress, which made the audience feel relieved and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

The girl in the red dress took off her dress and wore a night dress alone, but she was half-kneeling on the ground, lowered her gaze, and said in a respectful tone:

"I just borrowed it there...... The hand of a stranger tested the target once...... According to the intelligence, he was a world-famous poison player twenty years ago, and his martial arts were also good...... Even if you haven't done it for 20 years, you should still be able to do it...... But just now, the conflict broke out at close range, and he didn't even feel muscle tension...... Presumably he has really returned to the market and put down his martial arts. ”

This sentence is intermittent and long, but it reveals a lot of information, which makes the audience look at each other one after another, and then continue to read it carefully.

"Can you tell?" A low and suppressed voice slowly came with an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The female assassin immediately lowered her head, "Can't ...... But I'm not going to fail. ”

"When you were a baby, the organization brought you back to raise, and for more than 20 years, let you learn martial arts, but never let you perform a mission...... For today. ”

"Yes......"

"What is the origin of that stranger in your mouth?"

"A frivolous ranger." The female assassin hesitated for a moment, then said with a slight disdain, "But he is observant, and he will find out my identity if he is not in the way, he is seriously injured, how can he come to die?" ”

"If he comes, kill him as well."

The cold words fell, and the field fell into darkness again.

But no one laughed this time, I thought it was a happy romantic comedy where a boy met a girl, but it turned out to be this kind of dark wind?

The audience began to get serious and take the play seriously.

When the lights came back on, it was snowing heavily, and the stage was relatively dark, obviously dark, with only a slight fluorescence that seemed to be moonlight falling.

The white-robed boy sat on the couch, after changing the medicine, put on a clean white robe, drew his sword out of the sheath, and flicked his fingers, and the Qingli long sword instantly emitted a buzzing sword sound.

Seeing this, a little girl who walked into the room with a decoction was so frightened that she hurriedly threw the decoction in her hand, "Senior brother, what are you doing with your sword?" ”

The little junior sister, played by the friendship of Zoroya...... It is in the shape of a maple.

The white-robed boy stopped, "Kaede, I drank wine...... If you accept the love, you naturally have to pay it back. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white-robed boy strode away in the face of the layers of flying snow.

"You're going to fight again, aren't you!? The wounds on my body are not healed yet! Brother! You're going to die! Brother! I'm going to file a complaint with Master! ”

With Kaede's anxious shouts, the curtain slowly closed.

The curtain was closed, but the audience was inexplicably excited.

"I don't know how to say it, but I'm so excited at the moment!"

"The second act is a play!"

"Is the point of play!? Isn't the point of Xu Qiansu's last sentence 'If you accept your love, you will naturally have to pay it back'? It's so handsome! ”

"Happiness and revenge, chivalrous and courageous, but that's it!"

"No wonder the title of Act 1 is 'A Pot of Wine'!"

"Chivalrous!"

"Shanaiduo shouldn't be the heroine at all, right?"

"It's hard to say, it seems that Shanaiduo is obviously a poor person."

"What heroine do you want? I just want to see the blood flow! ”

"That's right, this is obviously to tell a chivalrous story, what kind of heroine do you want?"

"I read the leaflet that it says there are nine acts in this play...... This is the second act. ”

"Who is Xu Qiansu's master? It must be amazing, right? ”

"If you are a master, it must be the ceiling of combat power, and it will be used to save the field in the end!"

"Huh? Why hasn't the male protagonist said what his name is? ”

"It seems that it should be said in the ninth act, with such an echoing effect from beginning to end."

"I see."

Before the second act even began, the audience enthusiastically discussed the follow-up plot...... The first act was meant to arouse the audience's interest...... Now, it seems that it has been very successful.

Karunai stood on the second floor and looked down, breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed to the crowd.

Zhulan took this opportunity to tease her collar and fan herself with her other hand, "I'm so nervous...... Why am I sweating too? ”

Ma Xiu and Miss Chiba took their Pokémon and hurriedly set up the stage below.

After the stage was set up, Gadelia glanced at the script, her soft pink lips were aimed at the microphone, and she said coldly:

Act II...... Snowy night with a sword. ”

——————————————————————

It is estimated that the drama chapter will be written in about three chapters.

Because I have already thought of the theme of my next book, which is "Childe Stays...... An outline is currently being prepared.

So this is an easter egg, and it is also a practice.
