"How did you come?"
In response to Kyousuke's question, Curse Arm replied respectfully: "Because I saw that you were here, Master Kyousuke, so I came over to say hello."
"No, what I want to ask is why you came to participate in this competition."
Kyosuke really couldn't understand what appeal this competition had for the old man.
"Hey, I thought we already knew that Kyousuke-sama would represent Camelot in the competition. Actually, it seems that the first generation and the others made a bet on the ranking of this competition. As for what they bet on, we don't know. Anyway, Kyousuke-sama just needs to get the highest score possible."
Kyosuke still felt something was wrong. If the bet was really that important, the store manager would definitely come out in person. Gil, the showy guy, probably wanted to show off, but why would the old man come out in person? Is his greatest pleasure to stand aside and watch the show in cosplay armor?
Seeing that Kyosuke was still somewhat puzzled, Curse Arm could only whisper in Kyosuke's ear so that Mordred, the big mouth, wouldn't hear: "Actually, the first generation didn't want to leave the competition. But when Little Jack saw the prizes, he begged Baimao for the limited edition ●S set for the second place. As a result, the first generation overheard it."
Then the granddaughter-obsessed man called all the 19th generation Hassans? Kyosuke could probably imagine how the old man threatened his men. It was nothing more than heads, heads, and heads.
Kyosuke even imagined the scene where the old man got ●S and happily played the two-player version of O●der with little Jack.
"So besides you, Jill, and Nero's girlfriends, is there anyone else here?"
Since Cursed Arm knows the inside story of this competition, he should also know that in addition to the teams he already knows, there are other idle heroes who have also taken part in the competition.
"This... doesn't seem very convenient..."
"Ok?"
When Curse Arm saw Kyousuke's eyes glaring at him, he felt a little uneasy. He secretly gestured to Kyousuke.
"That's the number, there's nothing else."
Then, without giving Kyosuke a chance to ask more questions, Curse Wrist turned and left.
"Am I that scary?"
Looking at the fleeing figure of the Cursed Arm, Kyosuke felt somewhat dissatisfied with this guy.
Mordred chewed a cookie and replied vaguely: "Yeah. Woohoo... Kyosuke you are really scary. Ouch~"
"I want you to be troublesome."
···
The teams after the Hassan Troupe led by the old man did not perform very well. After all, with the example of Gil and Grandpa, they could not compare with the two top-level giants in terms of the exquisiteness of props and the temperament of cosplay characters. In fact, because of the influence of the two giants, they did not show their original level, which made their scores even lower than the first few teams.
Kyosuke could see that this match was basically dominated by the Heroic Spirit teams. No other ordinary people could compete with the Heroic Spirits except his team. After all, his team had Yukino as the trump card, and Kyosuke believed that Yukino's cosplay of Fumino would not lose to them.
Yes, that's right, Wen Nai is good.
Apparently Kyosuke selectively ignored the presence of Mashu in his team, and the character that Mashu cosplayed was the heroine in the work.
After a few lackluster performances, another group of heroes finally came on stage.
The performer in this group is the famous pharaoh - Ramses II.
I saw Ham Sausage Laer appear on the stage surrounded by a group of dancers covered in white sheets. He was dancing an extremely weird, even weird, dance while laughing continuously.
“Hahahaha, hahahahahaha! What a coward, such a coward!!”
Although the praise from Laji was extremely strange and incomprehensible from the lines to the movements, his handsome appearance did win him a lot of popularity. I don't know if it can be considered lucky, there happened to be an anime about Egyptian mythology on TV recently, so the Meids who danced with him were just ordinary Cosplayers by the audience. They gave him quite enthusiastic applause. Kyosuke just hoped that the few who applauded the most would not be targeted by the Meids.
After Laer's performance, the next group of Heroic Spirits was from Japan - a purple-haired security guard and a pink-haired swordsman who was obsessed with shota. These two showed everyone the wonderful battle of Yanliu Island that year on the stage... No wonder, these two sword geeks drew their swords and competed in martial arts as soon as they came on stage, and started fighting directly on the stage.
Kyosuke had reason to believe that if it wasn't for the upcoming performance time, these two guys would definitely fight it out on the stage.
However, the performances of these two people are really wonderful, at least much better than the muscle brother, the skeleton death god and the Egyptian ghost. Their group also scored the highest, with 93 points.
“So handsome!”
"--(nod)"
Yui and Rio, who were sitting in the audience, had stars in their eyes when they saw Musashi and Kojiro chatting and resting backstage after the competition.
"I wonder if I can get these two's autographs."
Yui was eager to try out her idea.
Unfortunately, Kyosuke poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
"Don't think about it, we are about to go on stage, come here quickly."
"Pfft~ Xiao Jing is so stingy~"
Kyosuke pulled Yui towards the backstage entrance, and Rio-chan followed the two of them in small steps.
"This has nothing to do with being stingy. We are about to go on stage. I will take you to get autographs after we get off the stage. I know both of these people."
"Really?!" Yui's tone immediately became excited.
"——Stare (expectant eyes)"
Kyosuke was a little frightened by the two people's eager eyes.
"Yes, so you (Yui) should perform well on the stage."
Yui Manabu gave Kyosuke a weird salute, which seemed to be imitating the military salute of the previous members of the hockey team.
"But speaking of it, I always feel like Xiaojing is at home today. I see Xiaojing's acquaintances everywhere."
"Don't be so long-winded, it's just a coincidence."
Yes, if Kyosuke had known that these evil gods would appear, he would never come to compete.
PS1: You can refer to the dance of Laer in the official sixth chapter stage play. Well, this should be considered the official dance.
PS2: This chapter was written after Mi-chan came back from overtime. I don't feel very good, and the code is a bit messy. The work in March is surprisingly heavy and annoying. I don't know when Mi-chan will stop updating. When I think that this state is likely to last for half a year or even longer, Mi-chan really has the urge to resign. _(:з」∠)_
Chapter 18 Yang Nai: Sister, do you have any dreams?
In Kyosuke's original expectation, the Service Club's program was no different from that of other ordinary teams, they would just go on stage and perform a few poses.
However, the appearance of the heroes changed his mind. Let's not worry about whether these lunatics can be considered as cosplay, and whether Yi Jianlian, bell ringing, awkward dancing, and martial arts competitions can be considered normal programs. At least the audience found it lively and interesting (except for the old man's bell ringing).
What's more, these heroic spirits are blessed with various treasures or divine special effects. If the Servant Club still performs according to the original arrangement, even if Yukino is very beautiful, she will not get a very high score.
But it’s too late to do any rehearsals now, so we can only start with the performance.
For this purpose, Kyosuke invited Gawain and Miss Meili to be the special effects artists of the Service Club.
When everyone came on stage, Gawain used his treasure to create a strong flashing special effect. Although it was a bit blinding, the effect was still pretty good. At least when Kyousuke and Mashu came on stage with Yui and Hachiman, the audience's applause was much better than the previous groups.
The highlight of the performance was Yukino's appearance. In order to make Yukino's appearance shocking to all the audience and present this kimono beauty to everyone with the most perfect picture, Kyosuke asked Miss Meili to use magic skills to make a fine "rain" of cherry blossom petals fall on the stage. Then Kyosuke asked Yukino to lead Rio to slowly appear in the flying cherry blossoms, which made all the audience feel amazed.
In the end, the performance of the Service Club won unanimous praise from the audience, and the long-lasting applause was the best proof. Of course, the most popular person among the audience was definitely not Yukino, but the heroine Mashu-chan who had no presence throughout the whole show.
It's not that Mashu's performance and appearance weren't outstanding, but she was overshadowed by Yukino's sun-like radiance on the stage. However, despite this, everyone present still remembered this somewhat weak "heroine" because of Changjiang's endless praise.
"Mashu-chan! Mashu-chan! The best Mashu-chan in the world!"
Our dear stupid father, Knight Lancelot, pulled out a banner with the words "世一の馬楊" (World One Mash) after Mash appeared. Let's not talk about why this French British knight used Japanese words to make a banner. His extremely vulgar taste made Kyosuke disagree. Who would use golden cloth to make a banner? You can't use the scraps of Jill's clothes.
Did it?
In short, no matter how much this great father showed his love for his daughter in front of everyone, he would definitely have to kneel on the washboard when he got home at night. Anyway, Kyousuke had heard Mashu's mumbling.
"It's better to sink it after all."
When Kyosuke heard Mashu, who was wearing a long black wig, say this, he really had the illusion that a yandere had run away from Sakakino Academy.
The Service Club's performance ended with a team scene - Kyousuke and Yukino holding Rio's hands and gradually disappearing on a road paved with cherry blossom petals.
Just as everyone thanked the audience and prepared to leave, Yang Noi, who was on the judges' panel, called them over.
"Well, can I ask this kimono-clad contestant a few questions?"
Xueno was stunned for a moment after hearing her sister's question, and then her expression became stiff. She believed that Yang No called her at this time not to express her sisterly love but to embarrass herself.
Kyosuke coughed softly before asking the question and then gave her a subtle glare, asking her to pay attention. But it was unclear whether she was pretending or really didn't see it. Anyway, she completely ignored Kyosuke's look and asked Yukino in a fake and excited tone, "Madam in kimono, what exactly made you come to participate in this young man's competition?"
After hearing the question, veins immediately covered Yukino's face. Although she had expected her sister to have bad intentions, the other party still crossed what she thought was the bottom line.
Don't you know how old your sister is? You want to call me Madam? Or do you think your mother has become too gentle recently and you can't adapt to it, so you want me to become your mother and scold you, a masochist?
"Sorry, I'm a high school student."
Yukino thought she should save some face for her sister in public, but it was a pity that Yono didn't understand her sister's good intentions. After Yukino gave the answer in a cold voice with a blank expression, Yono responded with an exaggerated expression like those entertainers in TV variety shows: "Really?! I can't tell at all?! Are high school students having children this big now? Is the person next to him the father of the child?"
It’s you, you big head ghost!!!
Kyosuke felt his teeth itching, and he swore that he would talk to Fumino about Haruno's education issue after he stepped down.
"We are just classmates."
Yukino's voice was already shaking, but Haruno was still adding fuel to the fire.
"That's hard to tell. It takes some talent for a high school student to look this old."
After saying this, Yang Nai kept nodding.
"This judge seems to have a deep prejudice against me..."
After hearing what Haruno said, Yukino folded up her open paper umbrella and held it with both hands as if she was holding a samurai sword.
In order to prevent Yukino from throwing the paper umbrella at Haruno as a weapon and being accused of killing her sister, Kyosuke and Mashu did not give the two sisters a chance to continue talking. They each grabbed one of Yukino's arms and dragged her off the stage. Fortunately, Mashu had C-level strength, otherwise Kyosuke alone would not be able to drag Yukino.
"You two let me go, I want to fight that woman to the death!!!"
Yukino, who had been dragged backstage, continued to roar at the audience where Haruno was, which made the other contestants backstage a little scared.
"Okay, just calm down. Don't you know what kind of person your sister is?" Kyosuke patted Yukino's back and comforted her.
Yukino looked at the judges' seats through the backstage curtain with angry eyes, her eyes full of unwillingness.
"Kyosuke, you saw it too. She really went too far."
"Yes, yes, I know. I'll tell Fumino later."
After hearing Kyosuke's answer, Yukino calmed down a little, but suddenly she realized that her tone when talking to Kyosuke was a bit like a spoiled child, and her face immediately turned red with shame. In order to hide her embarrassment, Yukino stepped on Kyosuke's instep with her shoe and said fiercely: "Who are you calling Fumino? Huh? I think you've been getting more and more aggressive recently."
Kyosuke didn't want to argue with Yukino about this matter, so he could only shut his mouth and quietly accept Yukino's abuse.
PS: I don't know what happened today. The black room system was stuck all the time and even crashed suddenly in the middle of writing. Although the words I had typed were not lost, the computer restart and system self-check still delayed a lot of time. I'll check it out tomorrow. If it doesn't work, it's a bit troublesome. Without the black room, Mi-chan's typing speed will be at least twice as slow. _(:з」∠)_
