Chapter 284 Stage Play Performance
"Dear audience, thank you for your long wait. The Sleeping Beauty presented by Class 2 of Grade 5 will now begin."

As Chise's sweet narration sounded, the stage darkened and the dark red curtain opened.

"In a certain castle, there lived a king and a queen. Their country was rich and peaceful, but the king and queen had never been able to give birth to a child."

"Then one day, the princess they had been waiting for was born. The queen named her Aurora. The king was very happy about the birth of the princess, so he held a grand banquet."

Accompanied by the leisurely narration, the stage is fully revealed. Rika, the queen, is holding a doll in her arms, and the king beside her is the big liar Yamazaki.

"Ah, today is a banquet to celebrate the birth of the princess. Let's all bless the princess!" King Yamazaki waved his cloak and said with great devotion.

The next moment after the king spoke, three fairies in yellow elf costumes came over with their skirts lifted, and each of them recited a sentence.

"Lovely princess~"

"This is us elves~"

"A gift for you~"

Below the stage, Touya looked at the three fairies that appeared, or rather one of the three fairies, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Wait, that boy is playing a fairy?"

Looking at Xia Yu who was playing the fairy on the stage, Touya couldn't help but twitching his lips. Why did both his class and Sakura's class like cross-dressing performances so much?

Damn it, those unbearable memories came back to me.

Looking at Xia Yu wearing a fairy costume on the stage, Touya had a blank expression on his face. He silently raised his camera and captured the scene.

Very good, now he has the boy’s dark history in his hands. Although it is probably useless, it is better than nothing.

On the stage, the performance continues.

After the three fairies appeared, they began to wave their magic wands according to their positions and gave the princess their blessings.

"I wish the princess to be as beautiful as the northern lights~"

"I wish the princess a song as beautiful as any bird~"

The fairies played by Chiharu and Naoko each waved their magic wands and spoke their own blessing lines.

Just as the fairy played by Xia Yu was about to express her blessing, a beam of light suddenly shone down from above the stage, and at the same time, a rather arrogant laugh was heard.

“Ohhhhhhhhhh~”

Following the sound, I saw Li Meiling, dressed in a witch's costume, appearing below the stage. She was holding a magic wand and walking towards the stage, talking with great involvement.

"There is such a grand banquet today, but I don't seem to have received an invitation."

Facing the performance of witch Li Meiling, fairy Xia Yu took a step forward and began her own impromptu performance.

Just like my aunt's Down's Acting Rules said, don't give the right to speak to your opponent, the play is taken back, and never let the audience guess how the plot will develop.

"Hey! The evil witch is here. What are you doing here? Witch, this is our territory!"

Fairy Xia Yu pointed her magic wand at the witch played by Li Meiling and said arrogantly, since the witch is so arrogant, then as a fairy, shouldn't he be even more arrogant in order to suppress the opponent's momentum?
"Huh? Wicked witch, who are you talking about?"

Although Xia Yu's lines were slightly different from those in rehearsal, witch Li Meiling still took over easily.

Seeing this, Fairy Xia Yu said again: "Do you know? You are not welcome here. Listen carefully, witch, the king and queen are holding a great party on the day the princess is born. All fairies will attend, but guess who won't receive an invitation?"

"??"

Hearing the sudden extra lines from Fairy Xia Yu, Witch Li Meiling was confused. She always felt like she was being ridiculed. What was going on?

Behind Xia Yu, Chiharu and Naoko couldn't help but whisper to each other when they saw Xia Yu's devoted performance. "Xia Yu is amazing. He didn't even say these lines during rehearsal, but he was able to improvise them."

"Yes, and I always feel that the fairy played by Xia is so strong that it directly overwhelms Mei Ling's performance."

In front, the fairy Xia Yu, who had just finished reading her lines, looked at Li Meiling's dazed expression and pointed her magic wand arrogantly.

“You~~~~~~~~!”

"Get out of here quickly, witch, or you'll be caught by the king!"

"what!?"

Hearing these lines, the witch Li Meiling raised the long magic wand in her hand and glared at the king and queen with great unhappiness.

"I thought something went wrong and that's why I didn't receive an invitation, but I didn't expect you didn't invite me at all."

"If you want to take me down on the spot, then come and try!"

Hearing this, Queen Lijia quickly said: "I'm very sorry, I heard that you don't like lively occasions, so..."

"Yeah, yeah, I hate noisy places the most."

Witch Li Meiling first affirmed it, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I hate being ignored even more!"

After finishing her lines with great devotion, the witch Li Meiling's expression relaxed, and she said lightly, "Then, I will also give the princess a gift."

"You were born with great difficulty, my dear princess of this kingdom. You will be loved by the people for your beauty, elegance and gentleness, and spend every day happily."

"But only until you're 16!"

At this point, the witch Li Meiling's voice suddenly rose: "Princess Aurora will be stabbed in the finger by the needle of the spinning wheel on her 16th birthday, and then she will die!"

In an instant, terrifying background music sounded, and the beam of light that was shot down instantly turned red, illuminating the figure of the witch Li Meiling.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh~”

In this tense atmosphere, the witch Li Meiling let out an arrogant and evil laugh, then took small steps back behind the curtain.

Looking at the witch Li Meiling's superb acting skills, Chiharu and Naoko, who had been stunned for a long time, huddled together and whispered.

"Mei Ling's acting was great, too. There was no awkwardness at all."

"Yes, and she was still at ease in the face of Xia's powerful performance. She was even better than in rehearsal."

On the other side, Yamazaki, as the king, got into the state in time. He said in a sad tone: "How could this happen? The evil witch actually cursed the princess!"

Queen Lijia also looked down at the doll in her arms, frowned slightly and said, "Princess Aurora will die..."

"Don't worry. As the saying goes, there is always a silver lining. Complete despair will not come. Hope still exists."

Fairy Xia Yu, who had not yet blessed the princess, recited some tongue-twisting lines, lifted her skirt and walked to the king and queen in small steps.

Hearing this, the sad King Yamazaki looked up and asked, "Do you have a way to break the curse of the evil witch?"

"Of course."

Fairy Xia Yu waved her magic wand and said, "My gift has not been given away yet. The princess's fate has already been revealed, and I am the teller of that fate."

"On her 16th birthday, Princess Aurora was stabbed in the finger by the needle of a spinning wheel, but she did not die, but fell into a deep sleep."

"Then the princess will be awakened by the kiss of the prince who truly loves her and defeats the evil witch."
