As he spoke, the person in charge nodded to the assistant beside him, and the assistant walked forward holding a pile of documents and said.

"Next, please ask the person whose name is called to come up and receive the script for the role he or she is auditioning for."

Hoshino Ruby instantly became nervous when she heard that. She quietly nudged Ezaki Ryoma with her elbow and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, Ezaki-kun, what kind of work are we auditioning for?"

"To be honest, I don't know either. I only heard from other actors in the troupe that it seems to be a romantic comedy adapted from a comic book."

Ryoma Esaki responded in a low voice.

He was not lying. The stage play they performed in this world was also different from the original, so he really didn't know what it was specifically about.

The stage play in the original work is adapted from a fictional world hot-blooded fighting comic, and has nothing to do with the rumored love comedy, so it must be different.

However, this is a good thing for Ruby Hoshino. The original work is quite difficult to perform, but for a romantic comedy, it is not difficult to get a minor role.

"Next, Miss Ruby Hoshino."

At this time, the assistant also called out Ruby Hoshino's name.

"Then I'll go first."

She whispered, then trotted forward and took her script.

Then, she followed the other actors who had received the scripts, went to the waiting area on the other side, sat down, and started reading.

"The last one, Ezaki-kun!"

Finally it was Ryoma Esaki's turn. He stepped forward to receive the script and patted Ryoma Esaki on the shoulder when he passed by the person in charge.

"Ezaki-kun, you are the protagonist this time, so don't let me down."

"Yes."

Ryoma Ezaki responded, but he felt a little strange.

In his memory that he had not experienced, although he starred in many stage plays, the works he starred in were often those in which the person did not participate.

But today, that person also came to the audition, and he was actually chosen as the leading role, which was quite strange.

Thinking of this, Ryoma Ezaki looked at that person.

The real ace of the LALALAI troupe, Daiki Himekawa.

He is also Ruby's half-brother in the original work and the illegitimate son of Kamiki Hikaru.

However, perhaps because there is no Hikaru Kamiki in this world, Daiki Himekawa's appearance is different from that in the original work.

The biggest difference is that it feels much more mature.

This is also the reason why Daiki Himekawa has gradually reduced his appearances in recent years. For some roles that require a youthful feeling, Ryoma Ezaki would be more suitable.

However, this time, Daiki Himekawa took the initiative to audition and seemed to take this stage play very seriously.

I would even rather give the main role to him and still perform in it.

This also made Jiang Qiliang curious.

What kind of work is it that makes Daiki Himekawa attach so much importance to it?

With such curiosity, Ryoma Ezaki opened the script.

Then, his expression froze.

"Okay, everyone should have received their scripts, right?"

At this time, the person in charge also spoke.

"The stage play we are performing this time is adapted from the famous love manga "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" created by cartoonist Akira Akasaka."

"Akasaka-sensei will come to inspect the troupe in person during next week's rehearsal. I hope everyone can perform well then."

"Of course, that's only if I pass today's audition."

Ryoma Esaki looked at the script of the role he was playing in his hand and his hands clenched involuntarily.

He plays the protagonist, the president, Shirogane Miyuki.

But that's not the point.

The point is, he felt he had found the real murderer.

Speaking of the real murderer who killed "Love", who else could it be other than Teacher Daqi, the instigator?

Chapter 63: I accept your reward (9k7 big chapter) (End of Fader)

The previous audition ended smoothly.

Ryoma Esaki got the role of Shirogane Miyuki without any suspense. After all, the troupe had already chosen him and there was no one to compete with him.

Ruby Hoshino also successfully auditioned for the role of Kei Shirogane. Since Ryoma Esaki had made arrangements in advance, there was no competition for her role. And since she didn't have many scenes, as long as Ruby Hoshino could provide passing acting skills, she would be accepted.

However, the role of Daiki Himekawa was beyond Ryoshin Esaki's expectations. Ryoshin Esaki thought he was auditioning for at least an important supporting role like Yu Ishigami.

But in the end, the role he successfully auditioned for was Baiyin's father.

He is the father of Ryoma Esaki and Ruby Hoshino.

Ryoma Ezaki didn't care. After all, it was just acting, and it couldn't be considered as being taken advantage of by someone else playing the elder in the play.

However, Ruby Hoshino felt a little resentful. She had never called anyone "dad" in her life, and she didn't expect that the first time she called him "dad" would be in this stage play.

The auditions gradually came to an end, until finally, only two roles were left to be decided.

They are the heroine Kaguya Shinomiya and the secretary Chika Fujiwara.

The reason why it has not been decided yet is because Akane Kurokawa and Kana Arima are still competing for the role of Kaguya Shinomiya.

"I say, the troupe decided from the beginning that I would play the role of Shigong, right? What do you mean by coming in midway to grab it?"

Arima Kana glared at Kurokawa Akane with a stern face and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Do you think that if I play the leading female role, you will just become my foil? You should have some confidence in yourself, Kurokawa Akane."

"As an actor, don't you understand that even if you are a supporting role, as long as you give your all, you can become more dazzling than the main character?"

"In that case, why don't you give up this role and play a dazzling supporting role yourself?"

Kurokawa Akane did not give in at all and hit back.

Looking at the two people who were at loggerheads, Ruby Hoshino seemed a little at a loss.

The conflict has arisen before the show even started. On one side are the potential teammates she wanted to invite, and on the other side are the people she owes. How should she stand on the side?

"Don't worry, they are just like that."

Ryoma Esaki comforted him.

"Although they don't have a good relationship in private, once they get on stage and start performing, they will never hold each other back and will only compete to outshine each other."

“Is… is it?”

Hoshino Ruby expressed doubts.

The reason why Akane Kurokawa would compete for the role of Kaguya Shinomiya is, of course, because she can play a love rivalry with Ryoma Esaki.

And Arima Kana simply didn't want Kurokawa Akane to take away her role as the protagonist.

The acting skills of the two were comparable, and after several rounds of auditions, it was Maganai who finally secured his role with a slight advantage.

However, her advantage lies in the fact that her personality has many similarities with Kaguya Shinomiya, and her performance is more natural.

It took some time for Kurokawa Akane to understand and get into the role, so it was not unfair for him to lose given the strengths of both sides.

Finally all the roles have been decided and the next step is rehearsal.

As the character with the worst acting skills among all the characters, Ruby Hoshino is lucky to have two male actors with the strongest acting skills, Ryoma Esaki and Daiki Himekawa, to act with her.

Under the guidance of the two, she did not encounter any difficulties in her performance.

The role isn't difficult and doesn't include many scenes, which really makes Ruby Hoshino less worried.

Naturally, all the energy she saved was used to build a good relationship with Arima Kana.

In this regard, Ryoma Esaki also gave Ruby Hoshino a lot of suggestions. Many of the suggestions were so detailed that Ruby Hoshino began to doubt whether he was interested in Kana Arima.

However, Ryoma Esaki quickly evaded the question by saying that he heard it from Akane Kurokawa, and at the same time betrayed Akane Kurokawa by telling Ruby Hoshino that she was once a fan of Kana Arima.

Ruby Hoshino went to Kurokawa Akane to test it out with half belief and half doubt. Through Kurokawa Akane's reaction, she easily confirmed that what Ryoma Esaki said was true.

Since Akane Kurokawa was once a fan of Kana Arima, it is not surprising that he knows Kana Arima so well, so Ruby Hoshino dispelled her doubts.

On the other hand, Ryoma Ezaki did not relax his investigation into the real culprit behind the scenes.

Although he entrusted the task to Akane Kurokawa, Ryoma Esaki himself never slacked off.

Just a few days ago, he had taken the hair of Daiki Himekawa and Ruby Hoshino for DNA comparison.

The result is consistent with the original work, Daiki Himekawa and Ruby Hoshino are indeed related by blood.

It seems that even though Shenmu Guang is gone, their half-sibling relationship has not changed.

With this additional clue, Ryoma Ezaki immediately gave it to Akane Kurokawa.

At the same time, he also contacted Daiki Himekawa privately and learned about the situation of Daiki Himekawa's family.

But the result is still consistent with the original work. Himekawa Daiki's father Kamimizu Seijuro and mother Himekawa Airi committed suicide for love when he was a child. Himekawa Daiki always believed that Kamimizu Seijuro was his biological father and did not realize that his biological father was someone else.

After thinking about it, Ryoma Esaki gave up on telling him the truth. After all, Daiki Himekawa couldn't provide any further help, and telling him would only cause him more trouble.

Similarly, he did not reveal that Hoshino Ruby and Himekawa Daiki were half-siblings, and both sides were kept in the dark.

A week passed quickly and the rehearsal of the stage play produced initial results.

On this day, the person in charge gathered all the actors together and told them something.

"Today, the author of the original work of this stage play, Kaguya, Akira Akasaka, will come to the scene in person to watch everyone's rehearsal, so today's rehearsal content will be to perform the entire play from beginning to end. I hope everyone will do their best and don't let Akira Akasaka down!"

"Yes!"

Everyone's reactions were enthusiastic, except for Ryosuke Ezaki, who had a slightly weird expression.

Although when he first saw the stage play "Kaguya", he really thought seriously about whether the real murderer was Akasaka Akira.

After all, in the original conception of "Pushers", the story was about mother Hoshino Ai taking her twins to the entertainment industry, but later Akasaka Akira felt that the character of Hoshino Ai was too dazzling and overshadowed the two children, so he simply killed her off.

From this perspective, Akasaka Akira is undoubtedly the real murderer of Hoshino Ai.

But after some further investigation, he discovered that the Akasaka Akira in this world was just a simple best-selling cartoonist.

Moreover, the progress of his "Kaguya" has not been abandoned, and he has not yet started working on the script of "The Pusher".

But he had become addicted to APEX and was only one step away from falling ill.

Before Akira Akasaka arrived, everyone rehearsed freely for a while to prepare for the full performance that was to follow.

Not long after, Akasaka Akira arrived at the scene accompanied by a group of staff.

"That person is Akasaka-sensei. I didn't expect him to be so ordinary."

Hoshino Ruby looked at the ordinary middle-aged man and complained.

"I thought the author who could draw such a delicate and interesting love story would be a person with more personality."

——Ruby, don’t judge a book by its cover. This guy is already very unique. If he had a little more personality, your life would be in chaos!

Ryosama Ezaki complained in his heart.

After a brief introduction between Akasaka Akira and the actors, the actors made final preparations and began rehearsing for the full performance.

Except for Ruby Hoshino, everyone else is a veteran actor, and Ryoma Esaki also has the [Superb Acting] skill.

So throughout the entire performance, apart from Ruby Hoshino making a small mistake due to being too nervous, there were no other problems.

As a rehearsal, it was quite successful.

After the performance, the person in charge gathered all the actors together and asked Akira Akasaka to say a few polite words.

However, Akasaka Akira seemed to be intrigued by everyone's performances, and he even took the initiative to suggest that if the actors had any questions about their roles, they could ask him for help.

The other actors consulted Akira Akasaka about the personality and background of the characters they played. Akira Akasaka also enthusiastically analyzed and discussed the characters with the actors, which benefited them all a lot.

Akasaka Akira, who has not yet become Ooka Sensei, still has the professional qualities of a creator.

When it was Daiki Himekawa's turn, he only asked one question.
