Chapter 915 The Last Daily Life 94
After the new partner Youyou joined, Xiaolin and the others continued to practice. There was less than a week left before the official performance. During this period, Xiaolin and the others kept rehearsing and simulating the official performance. During this period, something not so good happened -
"Everyone, look!"
On the stage, Kobayashi, wearing the armor of a brave warrior, pointed at an unknown being in the distance. His eyes flashed with seriousness and determination. He said with a stable and resolute emotion, "That is the legendary ancient dragon...!!!"
You have to know that what their stage play lacks most is actors, and the orthodox story of a brave man embarking on a journey to save the princess cannot have only the scene of defeating the devil and saving the princess, so they cleverly added other scenes - conquering non-human creatures. Kobayashi and others like this kind of creatures that can't speak, don't need to perform and don't need to move the most.
The only problem is that it increases Aqua's workload - creating a lifelike dragon with a milk carton requires a lot of energy and time, but Aqua doesn't seem to be that reluctant.
He came to Xiaolin's side, with a determined look in his eyes, and said loudly: "Finally he appeared! The oldest and most powerful dragon...!!! The last gatekeeper of the Demon King's Castle!"
“Hoooooooooooooo——”
"Wow!!!" X3
As the model dragon let out a specially arranged deafening roar, the ferocious dragon head seemed to come alive and became extremely vivid, and the three people on the stage seemed to have suffered huge pressure from the superior race and took several steps back - with their acting skills, they were no longer just standing there alone reciting lines.
“Just the roar alone has such courage…!” He swallowed his saliva, hunched his shoulders as if he was a little scared, and said, “It’s a monster that is more shocking than the rumors!” Then, he shook his head as if to get rid of the fear in his mind, and said with courage, “But we must defeat it, so that we can enter the Demon King’s Castle!”
This means to fight.
At this time, Aqua sneaked behind Xiaolin and said with a frightened expression: "Hero, Hero! Did we really defeat that monster? If we want to escape, we have to take advantage of now!"
Although Aqua was acting strictly according to the script written by Gokuei, when Kobayashi thought about how Aqua's nature was so stupid and timid, he couldn't help but wonder if Gokuei had deliberately changed the script in order to allow Aqua to bring out her own nature.
As for Kobayashi, who plays the role of the hero, he struggled to resist the "pressure" that was coming at him. He shook his head with a determined look in his eyes and said, "No, no! Even if the chances of winning are slim, we must not retreat... because we are the only ones who can protect the kind and innocent people! Even if it costs his life, the hero must protect this world... protect everyone!!!"
Kobayashi clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, and his unflinching look really gave him the look of a brave man.
"... As expected, you are a true hero!" You Gouhui shouted loudly as if she was very satisfied. She served as a foil to the positive image of the hero who was resolute and determined not to retreat, and said loudly: "My thousand kinds of magic will always accompany the hero Xiaolin! Don't worry, there will always be a great magician behind you!"
"Although I am just a mere playboy, I will follow you to the ends of the earth!"
Aqua said the same thing right after.
Kobayashi's lines just now seemed to have inspired the courage of the two. If it was a normal performance, there would have been warm applause from the audience.
It was a little regretful that this was not the official performance, but at this moment, Xiaolin spoke again seriously, saying: "Thank you, my best partners... Come on, let's fight it out!"
After saying that, Xiaolin faced the milk carton ancient dragon and drew a long sword from his waist.
"Oh, could that sword be...?!"
Aqua said in surprise.
Someone was also very respectful and exclaimed: "That is the ultimate weapon created by the gods, the famous magic sword Jiong Jiong Wan?! I didn't expect it to actually exist...!"
Jiong Jiong Pills...
Xiao Lin had an embarrassed expression on his face. If calling it the Devil Sword Gram was a true infringement of the portrait rights and there was no room for excuse, he would rather call it Gram than Jiong Jiong Wan...
By the way, why not call it another sword, such as Alice - the artifact held by the royal family of this kingdom, the Holy Sword Curry Stick, etc., right?
But, forget it, since the script is performed this way, Xiaolin can't change it at will. If he has any opinions, he has to wait until the rehearsal is over before raising them. Xiaolin, who has gathered his mind, once again invested his emotions in the play, and said loudly: "The magic sword forged with the technology of a distant other world... at this moment, show your true power!!!"
Then, the magic sword burst out with bright light!
——Of course, it’s fake.
The weapon in Xiaolin's hand was just an ordinary long sword... No, to be precise, it was a weapon made of a milk carton. It was not even a decoration, but a prop or a toy. The magic sword in his hand could glow because of Xiaolin's own light magic - elementary light magic, which could not damage the inside of an object but could also emit a layer of white light on the surface, just pretending to be a miracle.
Aqua, however, seemed to have seen something extremely shocking. She covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, and exclaimed, "The Devil Sword is shining...?! This power... is too strong...?!"
I have to say, her acting skills are superb.
Although he was just pretending to draw the magic sword, Aqua was able to keep up with his acting skills, and it even seemed like it was real, giving people a sense of being there.
Besides, it wouldn’t be bad if she had enough. She walked forward unwillingly, as if she wanted to stop him but was forced back by a powerful force. She showed a worried but heartbroken expression and shouted, “Brave man, this is too dangerous! If you force yourself any more, your body will…!!!”
The appropriate pauses and enough blank space give rise to endless reverie. I have to praise that You Gou is a very qualified novelist who can lead the audience to think deeply... He didn't say anything, but he told the audience everything - if you abuse the power of the magic sword, you will definitely suffer the backlash of the magic sword. This is the price of the hero's use of power, and it is also his own destiny.
"Sorry, I'm really good at..."
Xiaolin showed a sad but serious expression, and also tightly grasped the magic sword in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he once again showed a resolute look of determination. He raised his head like a true hero and said: "At this time, if I don't force myself, then I am forcing myself. Because-"
Kobayashi paused for a moment, and then the magic sword made of the milk carton in his hand burst out with a brighter light, accompanied by Kobayashi's words with an indomitable momentum.
"——The fate of the world rests on my shoulders!"
"Y-Sir Yong?!" X2
Gokuhui and Aqua both covered their mouths and looked shocked, as if they were deeply moved by Kobayashi's determination.
Under the expectant and blessing eyes of the two, Xiaolin raised the magic sword Jiong Jiong Wan made of milk cartons in his hands and shouted loudly: "I'm going to attack, Ancient Dragon! Experience the power of the brave! Super Xiaolin Cosmic Destruction Slash!!!"
The name of the move is a bit tacky and makes people want to complain.
Xiaolin wanted to say that such a move name is extremely easy to be criticized, but it is enough to say that a hero must have his own characteristics - even if the move is very powerful, the name of the move must be simple or even too ordinary, because this is the only way to show the hero's extraordinaryness. Most importantly, it is in line with the naming style of the Crimson Demon Clan.
Of course, Kobayashi protested many times, but in the end his protests were ineffective. It seemed that this guy had strict standards for scripts, but they were only for other people.
As Kobayashi swung the sword fiercely - it looked like he was swinging hard, but in fact it was light, and there was no light released at the same time, the ancient dragon in the milk carton in the background fell down, and was considered to be solved by the brave man in one move.
"——Okay, Ka!"
Seeing that the performance was over, You Gou raised his right hand to indicate that it was not necessary to continue. Kobayashi and Aqua also relaxed their tense nerves.
The screenwriter, who was also very experienced, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, it looks like it's already taking shape."
"Ahh, that's great... that's great!"
Xiaolin was also enjoying it. He couldn't help but shouting loudly, as if his whole body was sublimated. He sighed: "This is the life I should have after reincarnation. This is my ideal life in another world...!!!"
God knows how miserable Xiaolin was. What kind of cheat was it that allowed him to travel to another world? It also delayed his development time for a long time. But everything was resolved on this day.
"Ideal size!"
Unlike Kobayashi, who was so cheerful that he couldn't be happier and his whole person was sublimated, Aqua said that she had something to say, and then turned to look at Yougouhui and asked, "By the way, can you change the way I talk? No matter how you look at me, I sound like a little guy? And the way I talk lightly, isn't that just a weird atmosphere?"
Indeed, as a playful person, Aqua was just a member of the atmosphere group throughout the show. Except for saying she wanted to escape at the beginning of the battle, or cheering loudly after the battle, she was usually detached from the drama and no different from an outsider.
"Aqua, you don't understand this." You will say in a tone that you don't understand, as if admonishing or persuading: "You have also had the experience of bursting into tears after reading a fairy tale book, right? Similarly, because the player is a small-time star, the audience will not have too high expectations of him. That's why when they see the player fighting with his life at stake, they will shed tears."
It seems that everything is a foreshadowing of the last scene. Indeed, this approach is very tear-jerking. In the beginning, he is a small character, a marginal character who always thinks of escaping during the battle instead of facing it. In the end, he stands up and dies for the hero. The huge contrast will bring a more passionate climax. It would be best if he could block the bullet in the process of fighting with the devil to stimulate the hero's strength.
"But even so... it shouldn't be popular to say 'de la' at the end of a sentence anymore, right?" I thought Aqua was dissatisfied with her character's plot, but I didn't expect that she was dissatisfied with the interjection at the end of the sentence. This guy is always serious about inexplicable things.
"Really?" She blinked her eyes and said, "I think it's pretty good..."
I even made fun of the ending of this sentence myself.
"From the perspective of the Crimson Demons, maybe that's right?" Xiao Lin knew that this was a difference in cognition, so he spread his hands and said, "However, you can change the ending of the sentence according to your own preferences."
Xiaolin also played it once.
The reason for such arrangement is nothing more than to strengthen the image of a playful person, deliberately highlighting her own unreliability and cowardice, just to create a strong contrast in the last scene and earn the audience's tears. Since Aqua doesn't like the "de la" at the end of the sentence, it can be replaced with other interjections, such as "meow", "rabbit" or "fall dead tile"... etc., but it doesn't seem to fit.
"Well, if that's the case..."
Aqua seemed to accept this arrangement and decided to add modal particles to the end of her sentences according to her own preferences. We don't know what they are for the time being, but she seemed to have some ideas in mind.
After seeing Aqua was satisfied, Xiaolin nodded and said, "Okay, let's rehearse the scene again!"
“Eh————?!!!” Aqua let out a long, loud sound of disgust. She put her hands on her waist with a look of resistance and said impatiently, “We still have to rehearse… We’ve rehearsed so many times, I’m almost fed up with it!”
"What does it matter? I'll never get tired of this feeling no matter how many times I relive it!"
Kobayashi said this with slightly rosy cheeks and excitement. After all, he was not an orthodox hero, and it was not the king's special arrangement for him to set out to defeat the Demon King. It was rather that after coming to this world, Aqua said on the surface that she would give him the task of defeating the Demon King, but in fact, it didn't matter even if he didn't go to defeat the Demon King. In addition, Kobayashi had nothing to do now, so he became addicted to it.
"Really..."
You Gou would sigh helplessly and say, "Not wanting to take the initiative to become a true hero is very much like what Xiaolin would do."
Perhaps the practice paid off, for during the actual performance, only the scene that Kobayashi liked was completed to an exceptionally high degree. But that’s a story for later.
