Buying admission tickets, we went inside and took our seats. Most of the seats are already occupied, although I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the place is packed. As was the case at the target shooting tent, the inside is far more spacious than it looks from the outside, as if it had been expanded with Spatial Magic. This place looked like it could be as vast as a large theater.
And the fact that so many seats are occupied ans that the theater company performing the Heroes of the Forest must be quite a popular troupe.
Incidentally, the fact that there are exceptionally good-looking seats available must be thanks to the support of the Gods.
Not long after we sat down, the lights dimd and only the stage was illuminated, and the play began.
To be honest, I was slightly apprehensive at first. Knowing that the source material is based on , I wondered if I could truly be able to enjoy it…… but it turned out to be a completely unfounded fear, as once the play started, I was imdiately absorbed by the brilliant acting.
I an, the original book itself is a book that has been considerably dyed with exaggerations, so when they change that up further, you can almost say it’s a different story.
It’s a story that is like a typical adventure, a hero tale with a protagonist who has co from another world, and I was able to enjoy it normally. Well, there are parts along the way where the original source becos apparent, such as fighting what are obviously Black Bear-like enemies and visiting the King who rules the forest to seek salvation for the destroyed Elven City. It’s a bit itchy knowing the source material though……
At any rate, the theater was truly outstanding, with a variety of magical effects and realistic acting, and I lost track of ti and beca absorbed in the performance.
After a while, the stage lights went out and I thought that was the end of the performance…… but a little later, I heard so light music and the stage lights ca on again at about the sa ti.
[Oh, it’s still going on!]
As it seed to be the sa people from the previous theater company who had co out, the play was still going on. This ti, the atmosphere changes completely to a musical, as it progresses with lively dances and a fun mood.
The content seed to be a musical version of the earlier Hero of the Forest, and the atmosphere was very interesting and was unlike that of the previous performance. Even battle scenes also held songs and dances, which are light-hearted yet tense, making it very interesting.
And once again, I lost track of ti and enjoyed…… enjoyed…… n- no? Wait, as expected, aren’t things taking too long? Is this performance really just an hour long? It feels like much, much more ti has passed, but the audience seats are dark, so I can’t really check my watch and tell the ti.
[The ti? It’s been almost “two hours” since we entered. By the way, I’ve made sure that people can’t hear the conversation between and Kaito-san right now, so you can talk normally.]
[…………Eh? W- Why? The sign outside said that this performance would last one hour.]
[Do you want to know?]
[I- I do.]
[I looked into things like the theater for today’s date, so I know about it. This theater company is known for performing the sa play as a musical after their theatrical performance. Their popularity exploded when they surprised the audience with their first performance, and it beca a staple afterward. However, it seems that, just like their first performance, the musical isn’t listed in the program. And so, you see, quite a bit of ti is taken up until the play after this troupe’s performance.]
S- So that’s how it is…… W- Well~~ As expected of Shiro-san. It’s admirable how she’s conducting prior research…… A- Ahaha…… If it’s possible though, I would have liked to have been told about this before the play started…… What should I do?
It would have been fine if this play just lasted for an hour. It’s only about 10 minutes from here to the clock tower, and we’d be well in ti for the sunset. However, if two hours had passed, things would be very different.
I don’t know exactly how long the sunset lasts, but I know it’s not that long. If that’s the case, the worst-case scenario being that the sun has already set is highly likely.
[……S- Shiro-san? Umm, I think the night view is beautiful too, you know? I think it’s suitable for couples to watch together…… W- We don’t really have to be fixated on the sunset, and I do feel sorry for letting ti slip away due to my carelessness…… but if possible, umm, can you not do sothing like rewind ti?]
[It’s alright. I won’t be rewinding ti.]
As expected, if the descended sun were to rise in the sky again, I would be worried about the stomachs of people Like Laguna-san and Chronois-san. And so, when I suggested to Shiro-san if she could just bear with the night view sohow, she readily agreed without much hesitation.
T- That’s good. I thought she was going to be fixated on the situation written in the magazine, but with this being the case……
[Anticipating sothing like this happening, “I’ve stopped the sun exactly just as it was setting”, so we can enjoy the perfect sunset without rewinding the ti.]
[…………………….]
I’d like you to stop looking so smug while saying such nasty power words. My thoughts can’t keep up here……
Serious-senpai : [The power word “stopping the sun as it was setting”. Even if the Gods wanted to stop this, as they just can’t get in Shiro’s way, they can only stare at the sunset with dead fish eyes.]
