Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

The various moves made them nervous, fearing that one of the Pokémon might accidentally use a move that hit the audience on the head.

The live stream audience was also quite surprised.

"Are you sure this isn't special effects? Is this really not a pre-recorded video?"

"Good heavens, this is no stage play, it looks more like a grand fashion show."

"The ticket is only 150 yen, why wouldn't I be in Kanto!"

"The performance seems to last for three days. I'm planning to book tickets in Golden City, hehe."

DianDian Live Room.

Qishu took a sip of water, grabbed a handful of snacks, and watched the scene with great interest.

"That kid Quanshu, he's making it all rather fancy."

Knowing that he was preparing for the Hua Lan performance, Qi Shu decided to come and support him on the opening day.

At the same time, she was also curious about "The Little Mermaid," and deliberately did not ask Izumi for the full version of the story in order to maintain her anticipation.

I plan to chat with my fans while watching today.

A stage play that combines visual and auditory elements is always much more appealing than a purely text-based play.

Qi Shu was just watching for fun and taking a break from the live stream; maybe the audience would like watching this.

I never expected they actually love watching this; now they won't even let us switch screens.

Current situation: I'm watching Quanshu's live stream in my own live stream room.

Even when she has a spare moment, Qi Shu can still check her phone. She has Xiao Xia's contact information and her navigator friend.

I was just wondering if she had posted anything related to performance these past few days, but I discovered that the number of accounts Xiaoxia Navigator is following is skyrocketing.

Refreshing the page increases it by several thousand; in just a short while, it has increased by twenty or thirty thousand.

"Goo~"

Qishu suddenly felt that the snacks he was holding no longer tasted good.

Actually, the Brewmaster Gym and the Cerulean Gym have been on good terms for generations, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for her, as the gym leader, to make a cameo appearance.

Would the audience believe such a statement?

And where is her new game? I remember the game project started first, so how come the stage play was completed first?

I was here first...

She was heartbroken.

Quanshu, you started out making games, don't forget that games are the foundation of your business.

I must remind him properly next time.

The viewers in the live stream were completely unaware of the complex inner turmoil that Qi Shu was experiencing; their attention was entirely focused on the stage play.

Watching the mermaid princess cautiously emerge from the sea for the first time, approaching a large ship where a banquet was being held.

Through the ship's window, the Little Mermaid saw a prince dressed in magnificent clothes.

Played by one of the water ballet performers, her brows exuded heroic spirit.

Countless fireworks burst forth from the ship, blooming into dazzling clusters of light in the night sky woven by the "Dark Night Shadows".

The viewers in DianDian's live stream all smiled like doting aunts.

They know the princess and prince story all too well.

Especially when the rainstorm comes, dark clouds hang low, and the large ship floats like a leaf amidst the towering waves.

Not long after, the ship broke apart, and the prince fell into the sea.

The mermaid princess swam toward him.

"Here it comes, here it comes, a classic scene from a fairy tale."

"Fast forward to the happy life of the prince and princess after their marriage."

"One question is whether they lived on land or in the water afterwards."

"Wouldn't it be better if the princess just used a wheelchair?"

There were minor disagreements, but the overall atmosphere in the live stream was positive, and fans hoped that the Little Mermaid would find happiness in the end.

Qishu, of course, also felt that a happy ending was best.

Although some dark fairy tales were published in the past, they have been banned as books that negatively influence children.

Most fairy tales are beautiful and positive.

But... she couldn't help but think of the previous stories written by Izumi no Ki, each one with its own unique characteristics.

If the stage play "The Little Mermaid" could smoothly reach a perfect ending, could it be ranked alongside the previous stories?

Obviously not.

Qi Shu had thought of this, but she had no idea what would happen next.

"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, and I'm afraid to watch it."

She covered her eyes, but through her large fingers she could see the chat room filled with people wildly popping champagne and celebrating.

Not only the viewers in the live stream, but also those at the scene, were all all smiles.

She had already begun to mourn for Izumi.

"This guy is probably writing a messed-up script again. I hope he doesn't get caught after the performance."

Chapter 43 The situation really took a sharp turn for the worse.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

The little mermaid carried the prince as they floated on the boundless sea.

After a night of drifting, she spotted a bay below a reef.

The little mermaid couldn't walk on land, so she had to leave the prince on the beach.

Several young women crossed the cliff and found the unconscious prince when they passed the bell tower.

The Little Mermaid hid behind a large rock on the sea surface, peeking out to see who would come to the poor prince's side.

Soon the prince woke up and smiled at the young women surrounding him.

But he didn't discover the little mermaid behind the reef, nor would he know who had saved him.

The Little Mermaid was very sad. She tragically jumped into the sea and returned to her father's palace.

The colorful plants and the swimming water sprites in the garden, though the scenery was the same, could no longer arouse the little mermaid's interest.

They surfaced with great enthusiasm, only to return dejected.

Viewers who have been following the Little Mermaid's story from her perspective can't help but worry about her.

"Does the prince still not know who saved him?"

"I've been in a coma. If I wake up and mistake someone for my savior, I'm doomed."

"I can't think of any way for the Little Mermaid and the Prince to meet again except to sink the ship again."

A sense of unease filled the stands at Cerulean Gym, realizing that the prince might misunderstand.

The little mermaid, always a quiet and thoughtful child, suddenly became even more taciturn. Her sisters wanted to know what she had seen on her first voyage, but she refused to say anything.

The narrator's voice grew hoarse, as if he were sympathizing with the little mermaid's plight.

The night sky, woven by shadowy figures, gathers and disperses above the stage, symbolizing the constant movement of day and night.

The Little Mermaid often sat sideways on a clam shell, perched on a branch of a sea tree closest to the sky, gazing silently at the magnificent palace.

Every night and at dawn, she would surface and swim toward the bay where she had once left the prince.

She saw the fruit trees growing on the high cliff ripen and have their fruit picked, and she saw the distant mountains and forests wither and fall.

But she never saw the prince again, so every time she went home, she was in even more pain.

The little mermaid could no longer carefully tend the garden; the branches and leaves of the trees and the roots of the flowers intertwined and spread everywhere, like wild grass growing rampant in the wilderness, revealing a sense of desolation.

She swam on the seabed, every movement and every glance telling of the sorrow of unrequited love.

In the solo dance, the image of an introverted, inarticulate, kind-hearted mermaid princess filled with curiosity about the land gradually emerges.

"The prince who knows nothing, the little mermaid who gives silently, why does my stomach hurt?"

Female viewers with a strong sense of empathy were already clutching their stomachs, chewing on the bitter taste.

However, they could endure everything because they knew it was a fairy tale, and that the misfortune was temporary and paving the way for future happiness.

Sure enough, things took a turn for the better.

The little mermaid's sisters, unable to bear seeing her grow increasingly haggard, and the little mermaid herself, finding the pain unbearable, poured out her heart.

“My foolish sister, you are a mermaid, and falling in love with a walking human is destined to be a tragedy.”

The older sisters knew how stubborn the little mermaid was; no one had ever been able to change her mind since she was little.

“We cannot bear to see you grow thinner and thinner, nor can we bear to see you suffer day and night. Perhaps the sea witch who lives deep in the forest can relieve your longing.”

The little mermaid found the witch who worshipped the sea god.

“Princess, I know why you have come.”

The witch resembled a giant stinging jellyfish, with a dozen tentacles concocting her magic potions.

"You want to remove your fishtail, grow two pillars to live like a human, and win the prince's love."

The medicine pot, being stirred, was bubbling and bubbling.

"Drink this potion, and your tail will split in two, allowing you to walk like a human."

The witch admitted, "But it hurts a lot, like a sharp knife cutting into your body."

"You can still maintain a swimming-like gait, and no dancer can dance as gracefully as you, but every step you take feels like walking on a knife's edge, with blood flowing freely."

Can you tolerate it?

The little mermaid's voice trembled but was firm: "I can!"

"Remember, once you lose your tail, you can't go back to the seabed."

The witch pointed to her fish tail: "Mermaids have no heart and cannot live on land. If you cannot win the prince's wholehearted love, you will still turn into sea foam."

"I'm not afraid!"

The little mermaid spoke, but her face was as pale as death.

"Even after all that, you still have to pay me."

The witch was the most wicked seller ever; she was calculating: "I want your captivating voice."

This time, the little mermaid hesitated.

"Even without a voice, you have a beautiful figure, captivating dance moves, and expressive eyes."

"Let's do it this way."

The little mermaid took the potion and left. That night, she drank the potion in front of the prince's palace.

The medicine bottle slipped from his hand and crashed heavily onto the marble steps.

As the sun rose, the little mermaid who had been sitting sideways in front of the palace grew legs, just as she had wished.

The audience members below the stage had mixed feelings.

They thought it would be a story of two people truly falling in love, but they never expected that just meeting the prince and the little mermaid would come at a huge price.

I really hope the Little Mermaid gets a happy ending.

The little mermaid became completely mute.

Therefore, when the prince found her, she could only look at him with tender and sorrowful eyes.

The two met but could not recognize each other, and the anxious atmosphere in the audience grew stronger.

The little mermaid accompanied the prince in and out of the palace, and her graceful dance won the favor of everyone.
