The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

[Upon hearing A-Yuan announce his departure from the underground theater, he stood up, turned around, pushed open the door, and left, then sprinted down the corridor... What a smooth little combo!]

[Why does it seem like you're quite skilled at this?]

Ah, this.

What exactly is Koizumi's role? (Annoying)

[I feel... I feel... I'm almost at the ladies' section.]

[They're clearly the official couple, but because A-Yuan's pairing with other people is so appealing, she inexplicably ended up in the ladies' section... No way! (sad)]

[Hilarious, is he a three-year-old jealous monster?]

[Ah Yuan is truly a woman burdened with deep sins.]

[Hurry! Hurry! I want to pop the champagne!]

[I just want to see Koizumi catching his wife cheating on him at age three and having an affair with Silver Garden.]

Who wouldn't want that?

This kind of fickle woman is most alluring the moment she crashes and burns.

I want to watch it right now!

Koizumi stir-frying Ahara]

[One line of red and one line of white, right?]

【Koizumi, run! Koizumi, run! 】

Upon learning that Saki Koizumi was approaching, Kita Kirihara, who had been comfortably leaning back in his chair, suddenly stiffened.

Like a student whose name has been called by the teacher, she instinctively sat up with a start and straightened her back.

Kita Kirihara: ...Saki is coming?

This was something unexpected from her script.

To be honest, the biggest uncertainty in her script is not Saki, nor Chise from the association, but Ms. Mirai who is currently in charge of the high school.

Miss Future Vision's abilities presented a significant challenge for Miss Director's arrangements.

The director will set up obstacles and paths according to the script, guiding the characters to their destiny.

But the ability to see the future is like throwing a straight punch through all these obstacles, then launching the most troublesome situation directly to her side.

For example, right now, Saki Koizumi is rushing towards the underground theater at high speed. It seems she'll definitely miss it if she can't get in today.

Since that's the case, we can only adapt to the situation.

Sitting next to the photographer, Nana Oba lowered her voice, but with a hint of schadenfreude in her smile: "What are we going to do, Director? If we don't let Ms. Kamina in, you're probably in for a lot of trouble tonight, aren't you?"

For example, trying to explain his whereabouts to Saki Koizumi... and so on.

Kita Kirihara was also having a bit of a headache.

However, this is actually a very easy thing to handle.

By simply extending the entrance staircase to the theater and then setting a rule that actions can only be taken on the stage, Saki's abilities can be suppressed.

But, in that case...

Kita Kirihara sighed softly, then turned to look at Oba Nana beside her: "It's possible to split the stage and hold two revues at the same time, right?"

Nana Ohba exclaimed in surprise, "Director, are you going on stage...? With your current condition?"

Her response was met with Kita Kirihara's smiling gaze.

Nana Oba suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but lean back.

“It’s not me and Saki Revue,” Kita Kirihara said softly, then smiled and said, “It’s you, Banana.”

As she spoke, she stuffed the popcorn she hadn't finished into Nana Oba's arms: "This is for you too."

"...No way."

Nana Oba looked into Kita Kirihara's eyes, a look of astonishment appearing in them.

The latter nodded, quite satisfied with her arrangement: "It's all up to you, everyone's banana. For my sake, use the weird-flavored popcorn on Saki!"

"...Wait, aren't you going to go yourself this time?" Nana Ohba sensed something was wrong.

She didn't think Kita Kirihara was the type to make such a decision. Didn't the director insist on going last time despite her reservations?

How could the director miss this opportunity to have a scene with her?

Kita Kirihara said, "It seems that Saki noticed something last time. She's too sensitive to my presence. If you use your identity in front of her too often, she'll find out."

"I see." Nana Oba expressed her understanding.

“That’s it. You’ll be in charge later… The prop is this popcorn. Make sure to stuff it all into Saki’s mouth.” The director, always eager for a good show, instructed Nana Ohba on the next act. “It’s an improvisational play, so… Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that? It’s a little hurtful.”

“…Hey, Director, I’m not a tool between you guys, please make sure you understand that.” Nana Ohba found her role quite unbelievable. “If it’s really acted this way, I feel like my character will be in a pretty awkward position, the kind that I wouldn’t be able to show my face in the Silver Garden.”

"What are you talking about? Don't you understand your role?"

Kita Kirihara's gaze, so frank, seemed all the more hurtful.

Nana Oba began to recall.

Then, she realized that she seemed to have been positioned as a "love rival" by Saki Koizumi.

Moreover, from the very beginning, he was doing things that were no different from those of a "love rival".

He gave the director chocolates, saved her, and later protected her...

Therefore, we must now play this role well and, according to the director's plan, include Saki Koizumi in this revue as well.

Nana Ohba: ...Ah, so this is the kind of script that Director is good at?

She started to get a headache, but since it was the director's order, she had no choice but to play her role conscientiously.

"I really can't do anything with you..." she sighed helplessly. "I'll agree to your request since it's somewhat interesting."

After a pause, Nana Ohba still felt complicated. Just in case, she reminded him, "At the most crucial moment, if possible, please don't make me do it myself."

Kita Kirihara made an OK sign, then smiled and said, "I'm counting on you, banana."

Nana Oba gave her a deep look, then couldn't help but sigh.

She received the script from Kita Kirihara and had some ideas.

Then, setting the popcorn aside, he nimbly took a long stride and stepped onto the edge of the stands.

Kita Kirihara remained seated in the same spot. The white-haired girl, wearing a turtleneck sweater today, casually crossed one leg over the other. As she watched Oba Nana's back as she prepared to go on stage, her vision began to sink.

The lift in the audience seating area lowered her down, along with her comfortable seat.

Then, Kita Kirihara will appear on the highest platform in the center of the stage.

As a "caged bird," she awaits rescue by Saki Koizumi.

150. Love Rival's revue 6K

(Recommended song for this chapter: You are aghost, I am aghost ~Theatre no Gost~, artist: Starlight 99 Group, album: "Shoujo☆Kajuku Revu Starlight" Best Album. Imagine Stephanie as Koizumi and Ghost as Banana, and the viewing experience will be 100% enhanced.)

Saki Koizumi received an invitation to the theater.

Although she was more like an uninvited guest, she still received an invitation from the theater owner when she approached the theater entrance.

Saki Koizumi took out her phone and saw her name on the invitation.

"..." That was quite thorough.

Saki Koizumi frowned, her wariness of Nana Oba growing even stronger.

What exactly is this person trying to do?

She wandered around the school building a couple of times but couldn't find the theater entrance. However, after the invitation arrived, she easily found the "elevator leading to the underground theater" mentioned above.

Saki Koizumi looked up from her phone screen and saw the elevator entrance. At that moment, the red light next to the elevator door lit up, and accompanied by a piercing whistle signaling permission, the gray elevator doors slowly opened.

There was originally no elevator here.

She had just passed by this corner; it was just an ordinary storage room door, and there was absolutely no elevator there.

But it appeared right in front of Saki Koizumi without her noticing anything unusual.

Despite feeling somewhat anxious, Saki Koizumi maintained a certain level of vigilance and composure as she stepped into the elevator.

She sensed something was wrong the moment she stepped into the elevator.

“…Ability…” Koizumi Saki murmured, her expression growing even more serious.

Just like when she entered the floating prison, her abilities were suppressed.

From the small speaker above the elevator came Nana Ohba's cheerful voice: "Please read the theater rules carefully, Ms. Kamina. Once you enter the theater, you must abide by the theater's rules."

Accompanied by a not-too-intense feeling of weightlessness during the fall, Saki Koizumi steadied herself and shifted her gaze to her left.

She saw the theater rules that Nana Ohba had mentioned.

[1. Please turn off your phone's ringer and turn it to silent or vibrate mode before entering the theater.]

2. Please refrain from loud talking or making noise in the theater.

3. Please do not put your feet up on the seat in front of you, as this may inconvenience other guests.

4. Please do not engage in conflict with others outside of the stage area.

5. Dangerous actions such as flying, shooting, and using telekinesis to attack staff are prohibited inside the theater.

"...Doesn't that mean we can't do anything?" Koizumi Saki carefully read through the theater instructions, feeling quite regretful.

Nana Oba, who was watching this scene closely: ...

Miss Kamina really seemed to want to teach her a lesson.

Fortunately, this stage now belongs to Nana Ohba herself, and she can modify the theater rules herself to avoid being harassed by Saki Koizumi offstage.

To be honest, offstage she's just an ordinary person, and can't possibly compete with a superpowered person like Ms. Kamina.

The director really did... throw her a hot potato.

The feeling of weightlessness stopped, and Saki Koizumi realized that the elevator had reached the target floor.
