Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady Chapter 761: 332. A Sudden Gust of Wind (8)

The spacious stage of the gymnasium was set with a wooden table, chairs, and a kerosene lamp.

"Good morning, young lady," Dubian Che stepped onto the stage.

"Good morning, Mr. Devil," Jiutiao ijie, her hair quickly tied up to beco a village girl, responded with a smile.

Kiyono Lin sat below, with the script in her left hand and a pen in her right, watching the two actors' interaction closely.

"First act, cut!" she yelled, and the movents of the two on stage ceased.

Jiutiao ijie put down her luggage and glanced at Dubian Che's blood-red eyes, "Colored contact lenses?"

"This is my GEASS, gained over the weekend, its power is to make young girls fall in love with ," Dubian Che gestured with his right hand as if removing a mask, "Jiutiao ijie, I now command you—fall in love with !"

"The play's already over," Kiyono Lin reminded from below.

Dubian Che lowered his hand and said to Jiutiao ijie, "This person is so boring."

"You're the boring one," Jiutiao ijie didn't show any rcy to her own boyfriend.

The two left the stage and joined the others around Kiyono Lin.

"Remove the spotlight when the Devil cos on stage," Kiyono Lin thought for a mont, and added: "The Devil should stay in darkness the whole ti, without any lighting."

"But there are surely many girls who buy tickets just to see Dubian," Xiaoquan Aonai said.

Kiyono Lin looked towards Dubian Che, asking him, "What's your opinion?"

"How about giving the spotlight at the end?"

"When the Devil enters the Immortal Realm?" Kiyono Lin confird.

"Mm-hmm."

After thinking for a mont, Kiyono Lin nodded, "That's fine. Any other thoughts on the first act?"

"No," only Ichiki Aoi spoke up in reply, while the others were either silent or shaking their heads.

"Then let's start the second act," Kiyono Lin commanded, "Setting: the adow; Characters: the village girl, the first Secret Keeper, and the Devil."

The three unnad passersby, after discussion, were changed to Secret Keepers—those who knew the secret pathway to the Immortal Realm.

Although the second act included Dubian Che's part, much of it was Jiutiao ijie completing Xiaoquan Aonai's tasks. When not performing, he picked up the cara and started the video recording mode.

The two actors on stage, and everyone else watching the performance below, were all captured on film.

After the performance ended, Dubian Che even went up for an interview.

"Mr. Xiaoquan, are you confident about this play's performance?"

"I'll do my best!" Xiaoquan Aonai made a fist like a young girl.

"So cute~ Let's interview the lead, Jiutiao..." Jiutiao ijie's white hand blocked the cara lens, much like a big-na star who detests reporters.

After a round of rehearsals, their ti at the gymnasium ca to an end, and everyone went back to the Human Observation Departnt.

Twilight stread in through the windows like spilled egg yolk.

"The acting skills of Mr. Xiaoquan and Ichiki Aoi are still not up to par," Kiyono Lin said as she sat atop the elm desk.

"Sorry," Xiaoquan Aonai said with embarrassnt.

Ichiki Aoi bowed her head, pretending to study the script seriously, putting on an earnest atmosphere as if deeply contemplating the acting technique.

"Not just acting, but overcoming stage fright as well," Kiyono Lin continued, "From now on, we'll practice on the overhead corridor."

"Ah!" Ichiki Aoi exclaid in surprise.

"Do I have to?" Xiaoquan Aonai was a teacher after all, and practicing lines and voice projection on the busy overhead corridor full of students was an extrely embarrassing affair.

Even if one weren't a teacher, any ordinary student being asked to stand in front of a crowd and recite lines from a script was a challenge to their limits of sha.

"How about we just practice voice projection?" Dubian Che suggested to Kiyono Lin, "If we also practice the lines outside, it would definitely spoil the plot."

"That's right, that's right!" Ichiki Aoi hurriedly agreed.

Xiaoquan Aonai nodded in agreent as well.

Kiyono Lin accepted Dubian Che's suggestion: "Besides the critical acting and stage psychology, we also need to start making the promotional posters..."

After the eting, Xiaoquan Aonai and Ichiki Aoi procrastinated for a while before leaving the clubroom to head to the overhead corridor.

"Feeling shy?" Dubian Che asked Xiaoquan Aonai, who was trailing behind.

"Of course," Xiaoquan Aonai grimaced with her pretty egg-shaped face.

"Just think of it as teaching a class, then you won't be afraid."

"I'll give it a try!"

On the fifth-floor overhead corridor, the Wind Instrunt Club practiced, the Calligraphy Club wrote giant characters, and the Robotics Departnt experinted with their homade robot dogs.

Xiaoquan Aonai, who had mustered up her courage, suddenly reverted back to the sa expression as Ichiki Aoi.

The five stood in a row in the order of 'Dubian, Jiutiao, Xiaoquan, Mayi, Ichiki,' with Kiyono Lin standing opposite them.

"Voice projection exercises are basic, but also very important, let's begin!"

"a, e, i, u, e, o... ko, ka, ko."

Jiutiao i, Mayi Asuka, and Kiyono Lin projected their voices without any timidity.

Xiaoquan Aonai and Ichiki Aoi's voices were stuck in their throats.

"Mr. Xiaoquan, Ichiki," Kiyono Lin paused for a mont, "How can you perform in a play if you are afraid of speaking in front of people?"

"Yes!" both responded.

Their voices slowly grew louder.

Kiyono Lin continued, "To perform to your full potential on stage, you must overco shyness."

The two caught up with Dubian and the others in voice volu.

At that mont, so girls from the Wind Instrunt Club greeted Ichiki Aoi with a laugh, "Hey, Ichiki, what are you doing?"

Ichiki Aoi's face turned red, and her voice shrank again, looking down in embarrassnt.

Xiaoquan Aonai's voice also dipped, but after taking a deep breath, she quickly opened up.

"Ichiki," Kiyono Lin reminded.

"Yes!" Ichiki Aoi responded loudly, but no matter what, she couldn't project her voice freely.

"ka, ke, ki..." Dubian Che's voice suddenly grew loud, overpowering the choir group's voice in the atrium below.
