Chapter 88 A Dance Together

"Brother...brother?"

"What a tall Cinderella, this can't be called Cinderella, right, Gray Man?"

Xia Yu made a sharp complaint. Hearing this, Xiaoying didn't know what to say and could only respond with an unnatural smile.

But when the other audience members in the audience reacted, there was a continuous scream and cheers.

"Wow, it's Kinomoto!"

"Kinomoto-senpai!"

"Senior is so handsome!"

“(*￣3￣)╭”

Hearing the cheers coming from behind, Tomoyo smiled faintly at Sakura: "Sakura, your brother is so popular."

"interesting……"

Sakura laughed awkwardly and didn't answer. No wonder her brother didn't give her a ticket to the school anniversary this year. It turned out that he didn't want her to see this performance.

"Cinderella!"

Suddenly, another male voice was heard on the stage.

I saw three other cross-dressing guys appearing above the stage. These three cross-dressing guys were as tall as Touya, and their makeup was even more exaggerated than Touya's.

Although Touya was wearing women's clothes, he did not have heavy makeup on. However, the other three performers not only wore gaudy clothes, but also had makeup on their faces that made them look pale, ashen, dusty and unrecognizable.

Compared with these three performers, Touya's costume can be considered handsome.

If nothing unexpected happens, these three people are Cinderella's evil stepmother and two stepsisters.

After the stepmother and stepsister appeared, the plot began to move forward.

"Did you clean it carefully?"

“Ah, it’s still dirty here!”

"I really can't stand you."

As she spoke, the stepsister, who was a bit stronger than Cinderella, began to make physical advances, pushing Cinderella around, making Cinderella look very pitiful.

Voices supporting Cinderella were heard from the audience one after another, but most of them were girls' voices.

"Oh my god, the miso soup this morning was too salty!"

"Yeah~"

The classmate who played the stepmother pushed Cinderella hard, and Touya, who played Cinderella, took a step back weakly and let out a shameful cry.

Although he plays the role of a weak and vulnerable victim, Touya's apathy does not make him seem pitiful at all, and his entire performance lacks any acting skills or emotions.

"Do you want to kill us?"

One of the stepsisters kicked Cinderella hard, and the tall Cinderella immediately collapsed to the ground weakly, screaming in pain.

"Ah..."

The realistic acting was displayed in front of all the audience through the stage. Sakura below lowered her head and dared not to look, with her toes tightly gripping the soles of her shoes.

She had never expected that her brother would play such a role. It had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help but feel embarrassed about it.

If she had known this, she would not have come to see me. Now it is not right to leave, nor is it right to stay. If there is a crack in the ground in front of her, she will definitely crawl into it.

From now on, she, Sakura Kinomoto, has nothing to do with Touya Kinomoto.

The performance on the stage was still going on. During the performance, the two stepsisters suddenly held hands and started dancing. They were performing very happily and were very into it, which was incompatible with Touya who had a cold face the whole time.

Among the four performers on the stage, only Touya has no acting skills and is also unhappy.

"Hey, you just envy us." Seeing that Touya didn't react at all, the performer who played the stepmother reminded him with lines that it was now Touya's turn.

Hearing this, Touya looked indifferent, clasped his hands together, and said, "Wow, I want to go too."

"The three of us are going to the dance, so you just stay at home for me."

The show was still going on, but Sakura, who was sitting in the audience, was already blushing with embarrassment. She just felt like she shouldn't have come to watch this show.

It would be fine if she was alone, after all no one knew her, but the most important thing was that her friends were also here and they all knew her brother.

This feeling of being restless and uncomfortable cannot be described in words.

"Remember to prepare the midnight snack."

"I want ramen!"

After finishing the last lines, the two stepsisters and stepmother walked off the stage in an extremely devilish manner, leaving Touya alone on the stage.

"Hee hee hee……"

When only one person was left, Touya let out another emotionless and weird whimper.

Then the stage lights shone on him, and he once again said emotionlessly: "I want to go to the dance, too."

offstage.

"Although he has no acting skills, he remembers his lines perfectly, which shows that he is quite dedicated."

Xia Yu, who was holding the camera, commented casually. Li Xiaolang beside him couldn't help but complain: "It doesn't seem like he wants to go at all."

When Sakura, who was standing next to her, heard this, she wanted to hide under the bench directly, and even the few strands of hair on her head drooped down weakly.

"Hello there!"

Suddenly, another gentle male voice appeared on the stage, and there were continuous exclamations from the audience.

This time, the exclamations seemed to be even louder than when Touya appeared, and it can also be seen that the character appearing this time is also played by a very popular actor.

Hearing the familiar voice, Sakura, who was originally so embarrassed that she wanted to leave here, couldn't help but raise her head and look at the person who came.

I saw a snow rabbit in a student uniform with a water blue ribbon hanging from his body, a mackerel can headdress on his head, and a small fish staff in his hand.

However, it is called a staff, but it is actually just a wooden stick with a paper-cut of a small fish pasted on it.

When they saw that the new character was Yukito, Sakura and Syaoran smiled at the same time and looked at Yukito happily.

Seeing this, Tomoyo smiled and said, "It seems that Tsukishiro-nii is also very popular."

"Uh-huh!"

Sakura nodded repeatedly: "Because Snow Rabbit is very handsome."

Hearing this, Syaoran, who was sitting next to Sakura, subconsciously nodded in affirmation, but he reacted the next second and turned his head away in displeasure.

"So, Snow Rabbit is playing the role of the Fairy Godmother? This is clearly Fairy Yeast..."

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu couldn't help but complain. He had wanted to complain before. He could accept the localization of miso soup and ramen, but what the hell was it that the fairy godmother turned into canned mackerel?

On the stage.

Dressed like this, Yukito came up to Touya and said, "You seem to be in trouble, Cinderella, here."

While speaking the lines, Snow Rabbit handed a note to Cinderella.

Cinderella took the note and read it as if she were reading a line: "This is the invitation to the ball, but how did you get it?"

When asked, Snow Rabbit pointed to the canned mackerel sticker on his head and replied, "Because I know magic."

Noticing Snow Rabbit's actions, Cinderella first glanced at the ball invitation ticket in her hand, and then read it word by word.

"What's that on your head?"

Snow Rabbit turned to face the audience and pointed at the sticker on his head while explaining, "This is a can of mackerel."

"After a long time, this discarded can became a can with magic."

As soon as these words came out, Sakura and Syaoran slid down the bench simultaneously, and Syaoran even complained in confusion: "Why is it canned mackerel?"

"Maybe it's meant to satirize society, reminding everyone to cherish resources." Tomoyo lowered her head and looked at Syaoran and Sakura, and guessed with a smile.

"It could also be an advertisement. Maybe the sponsor of this drama is canned mackerel, so the fairy godmother was replaced with magical canned mackerel." Xia Yu, who was next to Tomoyo, also guessed casually.

After hearing the two people's guesses, Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other, neither of them knowing how to answer. Although these two guesses were outrageous, they did make some sense when they thought about it carefully.

But the next moment, Xiaoying suddenly reacted. She looked at the camera in Xia Yu's hand and asked in surprise: "Xia, when did you take the camera to shoot?"

"Just when the play was about to begin."

Xia Yu steadily pointed the camera at the stage and said with a smile, "Although this performance is weird, I find it quite fun to watch. I can watch it as a funny video when I have nothing to do, so I plan to record it as a souvenir."

"By the way, Sakura, if you want, I can make a copy for you. You can go back and watch it with your uncle and have fun together."

Hearing this, Sakura recalled her brother's lifelike acting on the stage, and she suddenly became embarrassed and blushed.

She wanted to refuse directly, but the words were in her mouth and she didn't say them out loud because she suddenly remembered that her brother didn't have many opportunities to embarrass himself.

Although she was very embarrassed this time, she finally got to see the embarrassing side of her brother.

This is such a good opportunity. I must go back and share it with my dad, and then make fun of my brother.

"Xia, please give me a copy."

Thinking of this, Xiaoying said to Xia Yu with a firm gaze, and Xia Yu nodded happily. Smiles are meant to be shared to generate more laughter.

A world was created where Touya was the only one hurt, but he probably didn't care.

The performance in the stadium was still going on, but outside the stadium, the light green mist was spreading and increasing little by little, and then invaded the venue through various ventilation vents.

Where the light green mist passed, some iron mesh railings and the like were gradually corroded and were completely corroded in just a few seconds.

On the stage, the dance begins.

The actor who played the prince walked out surrounded by lights. Unlike Cinderella who was played by a man, the prince was played by a woman.

This time the drama is a cross-dressing performance, that is, a costume performance with men dressing as women and women dressing as men.

As soon as the woman playing the prince appeared on stage, cheers broke out from the audience, and the prince began his performance under the lights.

The actor who plays the prince is also very talented in acting. In the entire drama performance, it seems that only Touya has no acting skills.

When the prince finished his lines, he looked to the other end of the stage. At this moment, Cinderella also changed into a brand new pink princess dress and walked up.

With an indifferent look on her face, Touya lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the center of the stage step by step with her big feet. She looked just like a runaway Disney princess, except that this princess had a dark skin.

Seeing Touya dressed like this, Sakura started to feel embarrassed again as expected.

On the stage.

The princess came to the prince, then stretched out her arms and hugged his shoulders. The prince leaned in the princess' arms with a shy look on his face.

Although Princess Kinomoto had a cold expression, the prince was still fascinated by her. It was not until the princess reminded him that he remembered to recite his lines.

"Oh, what a pure and lovely girl. Let's dance first."

After finishing his lines, the prince took Princess Kinomoto's hands and danced with her as the background music played.

Xia Yu: (-ι_-｀)
"Hmm... innocent... hmm... cute... my aesthetic taste is really still backward."

Sakura and Syaoran, who were stunned by the performance, said in unison: "What a strange play."

After they finished speaking, they both suddenly reacted, looked at each other blankly, and then turned their heads away in dissatisfaction, quite synchronously. Suddenly, at this moment, they both sat up at the same time and looked around at each other.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Sakura and Syaoran's reactions were a little strange, Tomoyo couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and asked.

Syaoran was still there, looking around warily, while Sakura frowned a little, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head: "I don't know, I always feel that there is a strange feeling nearby, I don't know if it's my illusion."

Xia Yu, who was sitting next to Tomoyo, frowned and thought for a moment when he heard this. Usually when Sakura felt something unusual, it meant that the Clow Cards had appeared.

But which card is the Clow Card this time?
As for the Clow Cards related to the drama, he could only recall the last light and dark cards that appeared in the Clow Cards. However, that drama was rehearsed by their class, so the Clow Cards that appeared this time were definitely not those two cards.

The performance on the stage continued, and soon it came to the final scene.

The stage was filled with fairy air and mist.

Although this is artificial fog created by the props team using dry ice, the stage effect is indeed better surrounded by white fog.

The princess and the prince have now walked hand in hand up to the high tower, ready to end the whole drama.

However, at this moment, a light green mist mixed into the mist created by the dry ice.

When the light green mist touched the pillars building the platform, cracks suddenly appeared on the originally strong pillars, and then they broke with a loud bang.

Click——!
With a cracking sound, the platform collapsed instantly, and the prince and princess on the stage staggered, as if they were about to fall from the platform.

The platform is about five or six meters above the ground. Falling down like this may not necessarily be fatal, but it will definitely result in injuries.

When they saw the accident happen, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

Fortunately, the connection points of the platform were fixed with steel bars, so the platform did not collapse completely. However, the accident just now caused the prince to fall off the platform. It was only because Touya was quick-witted and grabbed the actor who played the prince, preventing him from falling to the ground.

The sudden accident made the audience nervous. The next second, the steel cable connecting the stage curtain was corroded by the green mist and broke with a snap.

Without the support of the ropes, the entire curtain fell down, blocking out what was happening on the stage.

The sudden accident caused the audience to talk a lot, panic, and they didn't know what to do.

Sakura and Syaoran hurriedly stood up, frowning as they sensed the sudden magical aura nearby.

"The Clow Cards again!"

"We need to find a place where there is no one."

After hearing what Syaoran said, Sakura looked around and immediately found the window with the searchlight. That place seemed to be unattended.

"where to!"

As she spoke, Sakura ran towards the stairs next to her, and Li Syaoran hurriedly followed.

"Xia, what about us?"

Seeing that Sakura and Syaoran were ready to solve the problem, Tomoyo frowned and looked at Xia Yu, wondering whether he should go with them.

"You stay here to avoid any accidents. I'll go over and take a look."

Xia Yu patted Zhishi's shoulder and gave him a firm look. Seeing that Zhishi was still frowning worriedly, Xia Yu chuckled and gestured to the camera in his hand.

"Don't worry, I will take pictures of Sakura's heroic appearance for you. After all, I am a professional."

Hearing this, Zhishi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the worries in his heart disappeared.

Then Chishi shook his head gently: "You know, I'm not worried about this, forget it...you must come back safely."

"Order."

Xia Yu waved to Zhishi and hurriedly followed.

On the other side, Sakura and Syaoran had already run to the glass window, and Sakura was calling Kero at the moment, asking which Clow Card was causing trouble this time.

After Xiaoke's explanation, they learned that the one causing trouble this time was the Fog Card, and the fog created by the Fog Card could corrode everything it touched.

If you want to seal the fog card, you need to wrap up all the fog.

"Wrap it up...wrap it up..."

"Use the wind card!"

While Xiaoying was muttering, Xia Yu had already rushed over and reminded her: "You can use the wind to gather the fog together and then seal it."

"That's right!"

Hearing Xia Yu's reminder, Xiaoying hurriedly took out the wind card she carried with her and unsealed the magic wand.

"Wind, please gather all the fog together."

"wind!"

The moment the tip of the magic wand pointed at the Wind Card, the Wind Card, which was originally a paper card, instantly turned into flowing wind, and then the flowing wind turned into chains, sweeping all the mist into a light green wind ball.

Then the wind brought a light green wind ball to the window, and Sakura chanted while smashing the bird-head magic wand at the wind ball.

"Return to your original form - Clow Card!"

Ding--!
The virtual card appeared, and the wind brought a large amount of light green mist and poured into the virtual card.

And when all the mist was swallowed by the illusory cards, two Clow Cards appeared at the tip of the bird-headed wand and then floated into Sakura's hands.

"Success!"

After getting rid of the chaotic fog card, Sakura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"what--!"

But the crisis was not over. A scream was heard, and the already shaky platform cracked again, and Touya and the prince on the platform fell down.

Seeing that the two were about to get hurt, Xiaolang raised his sword high and stuck a talisman on the sword.

"Fenghua is coming!"

In an instant, a breeze gushed out from the talisman, turning into a flowing wind ball that protected the fallen Touya and the prince. Then the wind ball slowly floated down, and the fallen Touya and the prince also gently landed on the ground.

No one was injured, which is good news.

Seeing that her brother was not injured, Xiaoying felt relieved and turned to smile at Xiaolang: "Thank you, Li."

"Well……"

Being thanked suddenly, Xiaolang blushed and couldn't help turning his head away: "I... I just don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Xiao Ming, you should accept the thanks with a clear conscience at this time. It's not cute at all to be stubborn." Xia Yu tapped Li Xiaolang with his magic wand and teased with a smile.

Just when he pulled out his wand and was about to use "Shock Absorption and Speed ​​Stop", Li Xiaolang's "Fenghua Summoning" had already been used. Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Xiaolang's reaction speed was indeed a little faster than his.

"I... No, my name is not Xiao Ming, my name is Li Xiaolang!"

"Okay, Xiao Ming, no problem, Xiao Ming."

Seeing that Li Xiaolang was about to quarrel with Xia Yu again, Xiaoying hurried forward to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, we should leave, otherwise it will be bad if we are discovered."

After the few people left the window, Touya, who was rescued, looked up at the window and seemed to have discovered something.

Stars and Stripes High School, playground.

Dusk hour.

The platform for the drama performance suddenly collapsed, causing the stage to be damaged, so the following performance had to be cancelled.

However, although the following performances were cancelled, the bonfire party in the evening was not affected and could even start earlier.

With the students' construction, in a short while, a simple stage had been built on the empty playground, and even the sound equipment had been set up.

In the center of the playground, a bonfire shot up into the sky. The orange-red bonfire illuminated the surroundings, making the evening warm.

Xiaoying and the others had already left the gymnasium by now, and after walking around for a while, they arrived at the playground.

"Hmm... Sakura's heroic appearance is indeed very handsome, but it's a pity that she is wearing a normal uniform, not the battle uniform I designed."

Tomoyo took Xia Yu's camera and watched the previous recordings. After watching the process of Sakura sealing the Clow Cards, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

In response, Sakura smiled helplessly.

But Tomoyo changed the subject and said with a smile: "But fortunately, no major accident happened."

"You're right."

Sakura nodded as well, but the next second, her eyes lit up and she waved happily, "Brother Snow Rabbit!"

Not far away, Xuetu, who had already taken off his costume, walked towards them and said to them with a smile: "It was really dangerous just now."

Sakura also smiled and nodded, "Yeah, luckily no one was hurt."

Seeing the snow rabbit coming over, the little wolf next to him blushed again, then bowed slightly and complimented: "The canned mackerel performed very well."

Snow Rabbit also smiled and bowed in return: "Ah, thank you."

Only then did Sakura realize what was happening and asked, "By the way, where is my brother?"

"He's fine, but someone is looking for him now, and it's something very important."

"what?"

Sakura was a little confused after hearing this answer. Someone was looking for her brother? Or was it something important?
Is her stinky brother so popular?
Time passes slowly, the setting sun gradually sinks into the horizon, and the afterglow is about to take away the last trace of warmth covering the earth.

The bonfire party has begun. The speakers on the stage play soft music, and people dance simple dances around the blazing flames to the beat.

Among them was Touya Kinomoto, who was dancing with a female classmate.

When the dance ended, Touya stopped dancing and walked towards Sakura and the others.

Seeing her brother coming over, Sakura couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were participating in the play?"

Touya didn't answer Sakura, but looked at Yukito and said in dissatisfaction: "You told her."

Yukito smiled and nodded, without making any excuses. But the next second, he had already taken Sakura's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go dance."

After that, before Sakura could react, Yukito pulled Sakura in front of the bonfire and started a simple dance with the crowd.

Watching Yukito pulling Sakura to dance, Syaoran's face showed three parts of shock, three parts of envy, three parts of disbelief, and one part of jealousy.

Xia Yu noticed Xiaolang's fan-shaped statistical chart expression, grinned, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Zhishi.

"Tomoyo, can I invite you to dance with me?"

Zhishi was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Sure."

After saying this, Zhishi took Xia Yu's outstretched hand, and the two of them walked into the dancing crowd together.

Syaoran first looked at Sakura who was dancing with Yukito, then looked at Xia Yu and Tomoyo who had already started dancing, and suddenly felt as if he was a little redundant.

Fortunately, he was not alone here.

Thinking of this, Syaoran couldn't help but look at Touya beside him, and coincidentally Touya also looked over at this time.

Touya: (ー`ー)
Little Wolf:

"Why, kid, forget it. I won't dance with you."

"Humph, who wants to dance with you?"
