Chapter 201 Mortis topped the list
Chapter 201 Mortis topped the list
After washing off the black mud on his hands in the bathroom, Kashiwa Sanhui grabbed Lenai and brought her to Xiangzi by the collar - next to Xiangzi was the weak Mu, who was sitting quietly on the corridor outside the auditorium.
Seeing Mu staring at the white clouds in the sky in a daze with an expressionless face, as quiet as a beautiful girl from a small family, Xiangzi was completely dumbfounded - no, elder sister, you scared me yesterday?
"Um...Xiao Mu, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiangzi asked tentatively. After all, Xiaomu's changing state every day was really... too stimulating for everyone.
It was as if Xiao Mu had a nitrogen bar in his head. The nitrogen he had accumulated for a long time was all used up in one day, exchanging for a 24-hour Yangjiao mode. When the energy was exhausted, he returned to the form of a little follower that no one cared about. He didn't know how long it would take to accumulate nitrogen before he could see Yangjiao Xiao Mu again.
"fine."
Well, this is familiar - Xiangzi smiled with some complexity, touched Xiao Mu's soft blue hair, saw Kashiwa Sanhui and Xiao Le Na came back to their side and came into sight, and gestured to Mu: "Let's go, let's go to rehearsal."
Although Xiangzi has been very busy recently, after spending half an hour with Little Mutou yesterday, the priority of taking care of Little Mutou has been raised infinitely - things at home won't change anyway, and there's no rush for the band, but Mutou's side...
"it is good."
Today, the vice-principal will preside over the financial meeting in the school, and Kashiwa Sanhui will represent Yuqiu to socialize with the leaders of Tsukinomori and celebrities from all walks of life, so Xiangzi is the super king of children today.
Both little Lenai and little Mu, as well as Ryo who arrived from Fanxing shortly, were taken care of by Xiangzi - little Lenai was brought in by Su Shi (although Su Shi left immediately to go shopping and play with Aine) and Mu was supposed to come anyway.
Liang heard from Xiangzi that there was a free buffet lunch in Tsuki No Mori today. He said all the nice things he could and even bet his bass on it before asking Kashiwa Sanhui to get a one-time access pass to Tsuki No Mori, just so that he could have a big meal.
Unfortunately, Hongxia called and said that Liang had not eaten much for two days in order to make up for the loss. He had just fainted from hunger in Fanxing's toilet. He had just woken up after drinking some glucose and was now being driven here by the boss Xingge.
As for Xiangzi, he didn't throw away his old Tsukinomori school uniform, so if he touched it quietly, he would look more normal, and the security guard wouldn't care. Anyway, the junior high school students in Tsukinomori were probably the reserve high school students in Tsukinomori, and they would meet again in the future, so there was no need to make the situation so awkward.
However, Kashiwa Sanhui didn't think it was a bad thing to socialize on behalf of the entire school - at least he met all kinds of gods and people from all walks of life in the Moon Forest.
For example, the only beneficiary of the legendary 16.8 billion yen loss, and the legendary old teacher who has been teaching in Japan for 80 years.
Generally speaking, they were all well-known figures. The only one that surprised Baihe Sanhui was a thin man with a feminine appearance. No one really paid attention to him on the roadside, and no one even approached him within a radius of five meters from his seat.
"This guy," Headmaster Tsuki Mori explained cheerfully to Kashiwa Miki, "is a Go player from the Southern Peninsula, a newly crowned champion, who came to Neon to play against a Go player—but his winning methods aren't particularly glamorous, so few people want to bother with him."
"Our school's Go teacher is also a somewhat famous veteran player, and he wasn't happy to play Go with him, but after all, he's a guest, so we invited him to the show to make him look less pathetic."
Well... should we say this guy deserves it or should we say this guy is pitiful? This is the least valuable episode of Champions.
After exchanging pleasantries with others, the rehearsal continued from where the previous scene ended - the place where Xiao Mutou made his mistake last time, and this time everyone was on stage with full makeup and props, and even the scene props were all set up. It felt like with a few more people on board, we could immediately play real-life CS.
According to the script, the subsequent plot is that the officer climbed up to foreign forces through foreign merchants to get promoted and given titles, participated in a coup and stabbed the emperor to seize power, but was arrested and assassinated by the loyal blacksmith Xiao Mutou who sneaked into the mansion - what a magical plot, what else can I say?
Although there are indeed no scenes that require special emotions, Xiao Mu Tou's emotions are still unstable. He stumbles a bit when reciting the lines. Although he can remember them, there is no emotion at all - Mortis of the Groove, you don't go in when it's your turn to play for others.
Looking at the man on the stage, wearing a headscarf and dancing stiffly to the music outside the venue, with his samurai sword in his hand just waving dryly, Kashiwa Miki couldn't help but feel worried.
Mu...the pressure has increased again.
……
Breathing rapidly and sweating profusely.
I don't know when, but the surroundings have become dead silent - the spotlight came on at the right moment, illuminating Mu, whose pupils were dilated, his hands and feet were trembling, and his limbs were stiff.
The audience...disappeared, leaving only countless versions of myself, looking at myself with a teasing smile.
"Blacksmith!"
It was little Mu, wearing an army officer's uniform, marching in a serious and neat manner and standing one meter in front of the dazed Mu.
"Stand at attention! Salute! Army Officer Mortis reports to you!"
"officer?"
Xiao Xiao Mu snapped his fingers, and another spotlight came on, revealing another figure in a long Western dress... Xiao Xiao Mu.
"Hello, Mu Guian! I greet you!"
It is hard to imagine that little Mu, who doesn't even have fingers, can actually lift up her skirt and squat slightly to salute, with an expression as polite and gentle as a real noble woman.
"Who are you? Where's Anhe-senpai? Where's Subaru-nee?"
Mu was now in a panic. He squatted down in disbelief, covering his head, trying to convince himself that this was all fake, this was all an illusion - it was indeed an illusion, but for Mu, seeing hallucinations so frequently was definitely not a good thing.
"We are you! You are us!"
Thousands of Mu spoke in unison, but the real Mu could only hear the voices of the two Mu in front of him - and the fierce sound of the shamisen.
The shamisen strings were almost breaking.
"Go away—you are not me!"
Faced with Mu's hysteria, the two little Mus did not react excessively. They just... gently stretched out their fingerless round hands towards Mu.
"Hey, Mu."
"Leave you to us, okay?"
Although Mu had covered his ears, the sound seemed to penetrate his heart - just like before, he was unable to block out these annoying and disgusting sounds.
"Don't...don't..."
Although he said no, Mu had already opened his dim eyes and looked at the two little selves in front of him - just like a confused lamb, looking at the shepherd following the sound of the bell.
"I won't let Mu down."
"I won't let Xiangzi and the doctor down."
"I also...I wouldn't let the doctor down anyway."
The inner voice ended and returned to the real world. At this time, only Mu was left on the stage.
Mu, wearing a simple headscarf, with a faint smile on his lips and a hint of inexplicable confidence in his eyes, suddenly changed his expression, which made An and Tiantong, who played the officers, see the light - this kid seemed to have finally got into the state, and he could finally perform the role completely today.
Although... it feels like the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold, it does not hinder the normal advancement of the plot, and it even fits the atmosphere better.
