They all pushed me!

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the "Watermelon Kitten" in the other person's words referred to the ice cream handed to her or to herself. When MEM啾 came to her senses, she was already holding an ice cream handed to her by Beichuan Ryo.

"Ah...thank you."

"It's provided by the manufacturer anyway, so it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

Kitagawa Ryo took off his leather case and licked the ice cream in his hand. On the other side, Hoshino Ai seemed to be still struggling with which flavor to eat, picking up this one and then that one.

Two days ago, Kaburagi Katsuya shared an interesting piece of information with him.

It seems that some members of B Komachi where Hoshino Ai is located have become dissatisfied with Hoshino Ai herself because of the imbalance of resources, and have maliciously stolen her cosmetics. President Saito is investigating the matter and the results should be out soon.

Internal relationship problems in idol groups have actually never been an isolated case. Kitagawa Ryo himself knows that many idol groups that appear to have close relationships are not happy in private, and stabbing each other in the back is also very common.

Thinking of his sister's previous declaration that she wanted to become an idol, Kitagawa Ryo felt a headache.

It is no longer the same as it was decades ago. Idol groups have replaced individual idols and become the new darlings of the era. If Kitagawa Rumi is to debut as an idol one day in the future, she will most likely form a group with others.

However, Beichuan Liang was still a little worried about whether his sister could get along well with others.

Therefore, in order to avoid this possible problem, Kitagawa Ryo prefers to personally create an idol group for his sister in the future. Anyway, he should have accumulated enough money and reputation by then.

Beichuan Liang licked the ice cream and looked at MEM啾 who was a little uneasy on the side. During the half-time break, he specifically asked the field staff for her personal information and basically understood her family situation.

Just think of it as a seed of kindness left for the future.

After Beichuan Liang finished the ice cream in his hand, he stood up and walked to the nearby staff, stood on tiptoe and said something, then pretended to be depressed and walked back.

"What's wrong?"

Hoshino Ai finally chose the [Orange Bear]. She had just finished eating half of it and looked at Kitagawa Ryo with some confusion.

"I didn't win the prize, what else can I do?"

Beichuan Liang shook the popsicle stick in his hand:

"The ice cream hasn't been released yet, and the event hasn't officially started yet, so I could only ask the staff and have them check the database, but it turns out I didn't win."

"It's not that easy to win the lottery."

Hoshino Ai rolled her eyes at Kitagawa Ryo, but immediately said confidently:

“But I’m sure I can win!”

As if to verify her statement, it seemed that even the speed of her mouth increased a bit. She licked the last bit of juice and set off quite confidently.

"Haha, third prize!"

After a while, Hoshino Ai raised her head and chest and declared her victory.

"real or fake……"

"of course it's true."

Hoshino Ai put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction. She looked down at Beichuan Liang:

"Hehe - I told you I've always had good luck."

The other children also finished eating the popsicles distributed by the staff, and ran over happily to ask, but most of them did not win the prize like Kitagawa Ryo. Hoshino Ai watched from the side with her chin supported by a smile, and it felt like her tail was about to stick up.

Although a rabbit's tail is only that long.

"Congratulations, first prize!"

MEM opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Please fill in your home address, and once the event starts, we will immediately arrange for staff to come and install the air conditioner for you."

The staff member reminded with a smile.

Ever since he started watching TV programs at the age of four, MEM啾 has always fantasized about whether he could be selected by the production team of "Hatsusen" one day.

But she has not had this luck until now, when she is about to reach the upper age limit stipulated by the program.

But now she felt that all this luck must have been accumulated until today.

Beichuan Liang, who was not far away, looked at the little girl standing there in a daze, and suddenly smiled for no apparent reason.

If possible, he would prefer that his sister's future teammates be girls he is familiar with and who have no problems with their character.

Although the other party may not be willing to join this circle ten years later, it is good for self-satisfaction.

But the feeling of helping others is still very simple——

Will feel happy.

-------------------------------------

"Thank you, [Orange Bear] and [Watermelon Kitten]."

Kitagawa Rumi handed the money to the store clerk.

"Ruby really likes both flavors."

“The Strawberry Bunny is actually selling very well.”

The salesperson handed two ice cream sticks to Kitagawa Rumi and promoted them with a smile.

"No."

Kitagawa Rumi pouted and looked at the ice cream advertisement playing on the store's TV.

The rabbit and the bear are working together to try to attract passing guests.

"I don't...like that."

Chapter 23: The Source of All Evil, Ryo Kitagawa

LALALAI Theater, in a soundproof room dedicated to rehearsal.

After an intense preparation phase and actor auditions, rehearsals for the new play "Forbidden Game of Youth" have entered the final period before the official performance.

The troupe's general manager, Toshiro Kindaichi, narrowed his eyes slightly, stood in the corner of the room with his arms folded, and tried to concentrate on making his evaluation from the perspective of an audience member.

The plot on the field has reached the last part of the whole play. Valodia threatened his "companion" Lara and issued a final ultimatum to teacher Yelena.

If Yelena didn't hand over the key, she would have to watch one of her students commit a brutal act against another.

"Filthy scum! I just don't believe it..."

The moment she finished her lines, Hoshino Ai, who was being pressed forcefully on a folding chair, realized her slip of the tongue and omitted the word "scum" to emphasize the meaning.

However, no one seemed to care or notice this. Everyone's attention was drawn to Kitagawa Ryo. In the face of his absolutely overwhelming expressiveness, the presence of all the actors, including Hoshino Ai, seemed to be deprived and moved into another space.

"S'il vous pla?t, Madame. (Please, ma'am)"

Kitagawa Ryo invited her in a graceful manner in French. If you only listened to the sound, you might imagine that the elegant boy was holding a rose and reaching out to the girl he met on the street.

But this is not the case.

"Lara, now you know what I want from you, right? Take off your clothes."

"Since Elena Sergeyevna won't help, you must be sacrificed. Kill a lamb, so to speak, for the salvation of society."

Like whispering in a lover's ear, Kitagawa Ryo reached out his hand gently and slowly and placed it on Hoshino Ai's shoulder.

"... Well, hurry up, hurry up, otherwise... come on, your coat, stockings and... well?"

He could feel the girl under him trembling slightly. Just as Kitagawa Ryo was about to continue his lines, Kindaichi Toshiro next to him suddenly interrupted the rehearsal.

"Omi, you're distracted."

Omi, who was called, is the actress who plays the teacher Yelena in this play. She has extensive stage experience and should not make such low-level mistakes as being distracted.

"Sorry, I was a little attracted by Kitagawa's acting."

Omi shook his head. In this scene, the camera was focused on threatening Valodia and Lara, who seemed to be about to commit violence. However, Yelena's psychological defenses actually collapsed completely at this moment, so the change in her expression was also very important.

It's just that she was so stunned by Kitagawa Ryo's acting skills just now that she almost forgot that she was still an actor on the stage and didn't perform in time, which was pointed out by Kindaichi Toshiro.

"Let's take a break first. The current progress is still good."

Toshiro Kindaichi didn't intend to scold any further. After checking the time on his phone, he announced a break.

"Hooah..."

Hoshino Ai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the chair. The posture of being pressed on the folding chair was quite awkward, and it was naturally uncomfortable.

After rehearsing for a whole morning, Hoshino Ai, who was sweating all over, took two steps and sat directly next to Beichuan Liang, and took off the white stockings on her legs quite naturally:

"Why...the Soviet school uniforms look so much like maid outfits—and they have white stockings."

Hoshino Ai, whose pair of white stockings were torn up by Kitagawa Ryo during every rehearsal, asked a soul-searching question.

"I don't know, but it's a cute outfit, isn't it?"

Beichuan Liang drank two sips of mineral water, turned around and answered.

"I don't deny that."

Hoshino Ai lowered her head to play with the red scarf on her collar. "Forbidden Games of Youth" is a play written by a former Soviet writer. The clothes worn by the four students in the play are naturally the school uniforms of the former Soviet Union.

“Maybe that’s why it looks quite trendy even though it’s from the 1980s.”

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at the white stockings that Hoshino Ai had casually put aside. In the script of "Youth Forbidden Game", in order to deliberately break through Yelena's psychological defenses, Valodia almost peeled Lala cleanly like peeling an onion, and the first to suffer was this pair of white stockings.

All I can say is that after these few days of training, Beichuan Liang felt that he had mastered a new strange skill.

Tear stockings apart in seconds with bare hands.

It always sounds very inappropriate.

However, the scale of the original work is actually very small. After the stockings are torn a little bit and the buttons of the coat are pulled off, Yelena in the script has already surrendered and handed over the keys.

“But I always feel that Ryo’s expression is too strong.”

Hoshino Ai pointed her finger at her lips and said:

"It always gives people the illusion that something is really going to happen."

The scene just now still lingers in Hoshino Ai's mind. Everything was plundered by Kitagawa Ryo. He used his acting skills to overwhelmingly demonstrate his unparalleled presence to the audience and even other actors on the stage.

In a sense, at that moment, she was swept up in Kitagawa Ryo's performance and became his accessory.

Even Toshiro Kindaichi only pointed out the gaffe of Omi, who played Yelena, and no one noticed Lara who was pressed under Valodia at the time.

Maybe just like that pair of torn pure white stockings, it just needs to be like a beautiful vase that falls to the ground and shatters into pieces at the right time.

Perhaps even the lines can be omitted. In this section of the script, Lala's lines are actually just a simple description.

The sound of panting.

perhaps……

"That's not the case."

Kitagawa Ryo stood up and handed the script to Hoshino Ai.

Although in this climax-filled scene, the most important shots are always focused on the male protagonist Valodia, the abuser, and the female protagonist Yelena, whose mentality has changed drastically.

But Lala still has two short lines.

First, she asked for help from her "boyfriend" Basha who had allowed the violence to happen, a short and pleading "Basha, Basha".

And when the other party continues to be cowardly and dare not act.

This girl, who came from a poor single-parent family and had previously told Yelena that she looked down on her mother and that she would work hard to climb into the upper class, unconsciously made a pointless request for help from her mother who did not even exist.

"Mother--"

"right here."

Beichuan Liang said softly:

"After failing to save Basha, Lara fell into a state of extreme self-destruction and doubt."

"But it was also at this moment that she realized that the person she truly loved, who also truly loved her, still existed in this world."

"It was this cry for his mother that made Vijia, who had become an accomplice, wake up and want to stop Valodia's atrocities. It also made teacher Yelena make the final decision and choose to hand over the key."

Beichuan Liang explained the play to Xingye Ai seriously. After he finished explaining his understanding, he smiled and encouraged:

"Love can definitely be acted out."

Hoshino Ai took a deep breath and nodded again.

After the break, they continued to rehearse this scene.
