My Romance Simulation with Them

As she said this, she confidently waved her hand and said, "As for this time, I'll lend Shi Jun to you for now."

The blonde-haired girl laughed cheerfully twice, then released her arms from Nango and called out to Inoue Takina, who was bowing to everyone: "Oh dear, these guys are all rivals, why are you bowing? Takina, let's go, let's go."

"But...etiquette..."

"Oh, let's go, let's go!"

Inoue Takina's somewhat confused voice was mixed with Nishiki Chizuka's cheerful voice as she casually pushed her away, a voice that was by no means annoying.

The two of them turned around and left.

"These two people are truly incredible."

Kita Ikuyo watched Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina leave, letting out a small sigh.

Although she has a sunny personality.

But it would be highly unlikely that she would say the word "love rival" so openly and honestly.

After all, at least a superficial relationship must be maintained.

Such a straightforward way of referring to a "love rival" as Chizuka Nishiki is extremely rare.

But this is also what makes Chizuka Nishiki so incredible.

Even Akane Shinjo nodded slightly.

Even though this blonde-haired girl has already called others her love rivals, it's hard to feel any unpleasantness from her. Instead, her infectiously sunny and cheerful personality makes people smile and let it go.

This kind of charm that belongs only to one's personality...

Honestly, if Shinjo Akane were a boy, she probably would have been captivated by him too.

The 'RicoRico' group has temporarily left.

The remaining bands are Shinjo Akane, Nango Toki, and the End Band.

Both groups were heading to the stadium for a performance, so they decided to team up and head towards the stadium.

After identifying themselves, they entered the backstage preparation room through the back door of the stadium.

At this moment, the students in each class were already busy with their own tasks.

Nango Toki exchanged a few words with Shinjo Akane and the ending band.

They then split into two groups and said goodbye temporarily.

About ten minutes later.

"I really wonder what kind of performance Shinjo-san and Nango-san will bring..."

Having already changed into her 'End Band' outfit, Ijichi Nijika stood backstage with a sense of anticipation.

At this moment, the curtain at the front of the stage was drawn back.

Akane Shinjo, who is second in her grade, is currently having someone help her set up the scene.

"Special effects stage play."

Ms. Yamada, who had been eating non-stop, finally put down her snacks.

"Special effects stage play?"

Ichi Nijika didn't have any particular impression of this word.

"It's a tokusatsu series similar to Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and the Super Sentai series."

Yamada Ryo, who usually enjoys watching movies and TV series alone at home during his holidays, gave a simple explanation.

"Yeah...?"

Ichi Nijika looked like she understood but didn't quite.

After her mother passed away, she developed a love for traditional rock music under the influence of her older sister.

She knew very little about tokusatsu shows like "Ultraman" and "Kamen Rider," which were practically household names among Japanese children; she had only heard of them by name.

Not to mention going to the live performance to see a tokusatsu stage play in person.

"I heard that the script for the stage play was written by Ah Shi."

"I've also changed into the band's clothes," Goto Ichiri stammered.

"oh--?"

As soon as those words were spoken...

Not only Ichi Nijika, but also Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo, who were standing next to her, were clearly interested.

The last one, "Her Hidden in the Sea of ​​Azaleas," was only seen by Goto Ichiri, Iji Tomoka, PA-san, and Hiroi Kikuri.

I've heard that the writing quality is absolutely amazing, it's not like a novel that a high school student could write.

So, what's the script for this Nanxiang episode...?

Maybe it can really be something to look forward to.

We don't know what the final product will look like.

The band members instinctively looked up as the band ended.

Under their gaze.

There, the LCD screen that Shinjo Akane had rented at a high price was finally fully installed.

"It's about to begin..."

Looking at the city backdrop that has been completely set up, and the speakers ready to play monster sounds and music.

Then look at Rikka Takarada, who has changed into a military uniform and whose shoulder-length hair is tied up, showing a dashing and handsome young man.

In the end, Akane Shinjo's gaze settled on a corner.

There, a handsome young man was sitting in a chair, flipping through the narration section of the script that needed to be read aloud.

"Toki-kun..."

Softly murmuring the other person's name.

Akane Shinjo's gaze softened.

Everything before her eyes was the result of what she and Nango had built together.

I wrote the script, thought about the lines, and offered suggestions when the costumes were being made...

Nanxiang did not comment much on these behaviors.

But Akane Shinjo knew very well.

Without the other person silently supporting me from behind.

It would have been very difficult for me to get to where I am today.

Every day spent with Nango Toki, Takarada Rikka, and others was an unimaginable memory for her, who used to be good at disguising herself.

And then—

"That's when I took the first step towards my tokusatsu dream..."

She paused, then slowly shook her head, her gaze fixed on Nanxiang Shi.

She murmured softly, almost shyly, in a voice no one could hear:

"It's time to take that first step between him and me..."

Can it be successful?

of course can!

Even if it doesn't succeed, make it a success!

With this in mind.

The tokusatsu stage play "The Monster of the Human Heart" began under everyone's watchful eyes.

The red curtain was drawn.

As the clear, calm, and unwavering voice of Nanxiang Shi narrated, everything that had been still on the stage began to move.

"The story takes place in modern times, during the period when the Japanese government decided to release nuclear wastewater..."

Just as adept at social conversation, Nango Toki's storytelling was also exceptionally skillful.

That clear, calm voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, effortlessly and seamlessly established the background.

"Wow, that's amazing... Nango-san."

Kita Ikuyo, sitting in the audience below the stage, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Generally speaking, the most boring and uninteresting part of these tokusatsu stage plays is when the narrator is explaining the background.

If the content is lengthy and the tone and volume of the voice are not well controlled, it can easily cause people to feel tired.

However, Nanxiang overcame these difficulties almost effortlessly.

Although it's partly because Nango's voice is really nice...

However, it is also inextricably linked to the concise and excellent scripts written by Nango Toki.

Even Ichi Nijika, who originally had little interest in tokusatsu stage plays, was now showing great interest.

She was curious to see how the story would unfold next.

After all, Nanxiang Shi has already taken to the stage, and in a sense, "The Monster of the Human Heart" can be considered a rival to the End of the Band.

Under her gaze.

The stage play continued.

Marine life, gradually mutated by nuclear wastewater, is a result of the Japanese government's continued discharge of nuclear-contaminated wastewater, ignoring international maritime conventions.

The appearance of the Permian monster Thanasis...

The appearance of Rikka Takarada as the male protagonist, and his/her painful inner monologue about Thanasis's desire to protect the ocean at the cost of destroying Japanese cities...

it is good...

How wonderful!
