As the narration began, the performer's eerie wailing echoed throughout the stadium through the microphone.

Hearing that familiar voice, Sakura looked at the performer in a daze: "Whose voice is this?"

"Hee hee hee……"

The actress playing Cinderella was still sobbing with eerie whimpers, while the narration continued.

"Although Cinderella was bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters every day, she still worked very hard to do housework."

As the introduction reached this point, Cinderella, who had been kneeling on the stage with her back to the audience, slowly stood up, then turned around and looked at the audience with a blank expression.

It was so captivating that even the air seemed to be filled with flashing lights.

Sakura: (*☉_☉)

Her large eyes held an even greater question; what had she seen?

The Cinderella who made that eerie sobbing sound was actually her older brother?!

Chapter 88 Dancing Together

"Brother...brother?"

"What a tall Cinderella! This can't be called Cinderella, it's more like a tall man!"

Xia Yu made a sharp retort, and Xiao Ying, upon hearing this, didn't know what to say and could only respond with an unnatural smile.

But when the other audience members realized what was happening, a series of screams and cheers erupted.

"Wow, it's Kinomoto!"

"Kinomoto-senpai!"

"Senior is so handsome!"

“(* ̄3 ̄)╭”

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

"interesting……"

Sakura gave an awkward laugh but didn't answer. No wonder her brother didn't give her a ticket to the school anniversary celebration this year; it turned out he didn't want her to see this performance.

"Cinderella!"

Suddenly, another male voice rang out on the stage.

Suddenly, three more cross-dressing men appeared above the stage. These three men were as tall as Touya, and their makeup was even more exaggerated than Touya's.

Although Touya was dressed in women's clothing, he did not wear heavy makeup. However, the other three performers were not only dressed in gaudy clothes, but also had their faces painted with makeup that made them look pale, ashen, disheveled, and unrecognizable.

Compared to the other three performers, Touya's appearance was quite handsome.

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

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

Did you clean with care?

"Ah, it's still dirty here!"

"I really can't stand you."

As she spoke, her stepsister, who was even stronger than Cinderella, started to physically assault her, pushing and shoving Cinderella around, making Cinderella look very pitiful.

Speeches of support for Cinderella gradually rose from the audience, though most of them were from girls.

"Honestly, the miso soup I made this morning was way too salty!"

"Yeah~"

The classmate playing the stepmother gave Cinderella a hard shove, and Touya, who played Cinderella, also took a weak step back and let out a shameful cry.

Although he plays the role of a weak and vulnerable victim, Touya's indifference makes him seem pitiful in the slightest. His performance lacks any acting skills or emotion.

"Are you trying to kill us?"

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

"Ah..."

The incredibly realistic acting was displayed on stage for all the audience members. Sakura below kept her head down, too afraid to look, her toes gripping the soles of her shoes tightly.

She never expected that her older brother would play such a role. Even though it had nothing to do with her, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him.

She should have known better than to come. Now she's stuck, unable to leave or stay. If there were a crack in the ground in front of her, she would definitely crawl into it.

From this moment forward, she, Kinomoto Sakura, and Kinomoto Touya have no relation whatsoever.

The performance on stage continued, and suddenly the two stepsisters joined hands and started dancing. They were very happy and engrossed in the performance, which was completely out of place with Touya, who had been keeping a cold face all along.

Of the four performers on stage, only Touya lacked acting skills and joy.

"Hey, you're just envious of us, aren't you?" Seeing that Touya didn't react at all, the actress playing the stepmother reminded him with her lines, "It's time for Touya's scene."

Upon hearing this, Touya remained indifferent, clasped his hands together, and said in a monotone voice, "Wow, I really want to go too."

"The three of us are going to a ball, so you'd better watch the house for me."

The play continued on stage, while Sakura in the audience blushed with embarrassment, feeling that she shouldn't have come to see it.

If she were alone, that would be fine, since no one would know her. But the most important thing is that her friends are here too, and they all know her brother.

This feeling of restlessness is beyond words.

"Remember to prepare a midnight snack."

"I want to eat ramen!"

After delivering their final lines, the two stepsisters and stepmother walked off the stage in an extremely mesmerizing way, leaving Touya alone on the stage.

"Hee hee hee……"

With only one person left, Touya let out a strange, emotionless whimper.

Then the stage lights shone on him, and he once again read in a monotone, emotionless voice, "I really want to go to the ball too."

offstage.

"Although he has no acting skills whatsoever, he remembers his lines perfectly, which is quite professional."

Xia Yu, holding the camera, casually commented, while Li Xiaolang, standing beside him, couldn't help but retort, "I can't tell at all that he wants to go."

Upon hearing this, Sakura, who was standing next to her, wanted to hide under the bench. Even the few strands of hair on her head drooped limply.

"Hello there!"

Suddenly, another gentle male voice rang out on the stage, and gasps of surprise followed from the audience.

The gasps of surprise this time seemed even louder than when Touya appeared, which shows that the actor playing this character is also a very popular one.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sakura, who was so embarrassed that she wanted to leave, couldn't help but look up at the person who had come.

The snow rabbit was dressed in a school uniform, with a light blue sash, a blue and white fish can headdress, and a small fish staff in its hand.

However, despite being called a staff, it's actually just a wooden stick with a paper-cut fish attached to it.

Upon seeing that the new character was Yukito, Sakura and Syaoran both smiled and looked at Yukito happily.

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

"Uh-huh!"

Sakura nodded repeatedly: "Because Yukito is so handsome."

Upon hearing this, Syaoran, who was sitting next to Sakura, nodded in agreement without thinking. However, he realized what was happening a second later and turned his head away unhappily.

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

Seeing this, 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 was with turning the Fairy Godmother into a can of mackerel?

On the stage.

Yukito, dressed like this, approached Touya and said, "You seem to be in trouble, Cinderella, here."

As he recited his lines, Yukito handed a note to Cinderella.

Cinderella took the note and read it aloud as if reciting lines: "This is an invitation to the ball, but how did you get it?"

Upon hearing the question, Yukito pointed to the mackerel can sticker on his head and replied, "Because I can use magic."

Noticing Snow Rabbit's actions, Cinderella first glanced at the ball invitation ticket in her hand before reading it aloud, word by word.

"What's that on your head?"

Snow Rabbit turned to face the audience, pointing to the sticker on his head as he explained, "This is canned mackerel."

"This discarded can, over a long period of time, has become a can with magic."

Upon hearing this, Sakura and Syaoran simultaneously slid off their stools, with Syaoran asking in bewilderment, "Why canned mackerel?"

"It probably has a satirical meaning about society, reminding everyone to cherish resources," Tomoyo guessed with a smile as she looked down at Syaoran and Sakura.

"It could also be an advertisement. Maybe the sponsor of this play is mackerel cans, which is why they replaced the fairy godmother with a magical mackerel can," Xia Yu, who was next to Zhi Shi, casually guessed.

Upon hearing their guesses, Sakura and Syaoran exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond. While their guesses were absurd, upon closer examination, they did indeed make some sense.
