Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 814 - 804: The Stage Play Begins

Time passed little by little.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Ayatsuki Ayaka became very nervous.

She used her hand to loosen her collar, then grabbed the drink beside her and took a big gulp. The cool juice slipped down her throat, not easing her thirst at all.

She still felt very thirsty, wanting to drink water.

Takahashi Saeko watched as Ayatsuki Ayaka treated herself like a water buffalo, continuously gulping water.

She grabbed her wheat-colored wrist and glared, saying: "Alright already, with that much water.

When you go on stage, what will you do if you urgently need to pee?"

Gulping, Ayatsuki Ayaka swallowed and spoke with a gloomy face: "Saeko, I'm so anxious right now!

If I can't win, what am I supposed to do?"

Takahashi Saeko wasn't surprised at all by seeing her turn cowardly in the face of things.

Before things start, Ayatsuki Ayaka's attitude often makes a complete 360-degree turn.

Only when there's no room for retreat, when it officially begins, can she let go of all distractions and choose to move forward resolutely.

Ayatsuki Ayaka is the kind of person best suited to be thrust onto the stage.

Takahashi Saeko patted her back, speaking gently: "Don't be nervous, haven't you been practicing Western sword for a long time?

With your physical fitness, you won't be that much worse than the young ladies."

"That's right."

Miyahara Kaoru also encouraged from the side, not wanting to see Ayatsuki Ayaka get cozy with Aozawa but even less wanting to see her lose, "We believe your efforts these days won't go to waste.

Come on, you're not fighting alone!"

Encouraged by the two, Ayatsuki Ayaka clenched her fist and said solemnly: "Alright, I'll fight them!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As the words fell, she widened her eyes, like a bull about to enter the bullring.

Thinking carefully, she hasn't wasted her days recently and may not necessarily lose to Phoenix Academy Maggie and them.

Moreover, she at least has Tama Chan and Takahashi Saeko on her side; she's not fighting alone.

She can win!

...

The Sleeping Beauty stage play is at 1 PM.

Before one o'clock, the necessary preparations naturally need to be completed.

Aozawa put on a princess costume made by a girl named Nishida Kana.

It was a pure white dress, its skirt puffed up with a complex lace pattern on the surface.

He wore a golden wig, with side-swept bangs, his well-defined features highlighted by the wig and princess dress made him look quite pretty.

"Wow, Mr. Aozawa, you're really beautiful!"

Nishida Kana clasped her hands, surprised by his beauty. It's a pity he's not a girl.

"I feel that's not a compliment for a guy."

Aozawa retorted.

Looking in the mirror again, he had to admit that in drag with a wig on, he looked even better than Nishida Kana.

"Wear this too!"

Nishida Kana held up a fake chest enthusiastically.

She felt that once Aozawa wore this, a beautiful princess would appear before her.

Not a single person in the audience would question the princess's gender.

"No way!"

Aozawa waved his hands, unwilling to put on such a thing.

Wearing the princess dress, and the wig already felt uncomfortable.

If he had to wear the fake chest too, Aozawa couldn't imagine how much Morimoto Chiyoda would ridicule him later.

Nishida Kana put her hand down, a hint of regret flashing across her face as she said: "Well, in that case, you should lie down here, remember, don't move at all."

"No problem."

Aozawa lay on the prop bed, covered himself with a blanket. The scene made Nishida Kana want to take a picture, but considering his privacy, she didn't do such a thing and turned to leave.

Next is the front-stage preparation.

...

Phoenix Academy Maggie dressed as a prince, wearing a pure white outfit with a Western sword at her waist.

Besides the odd feeling in her chest, everything was fine.

Mainly, Phoenix Academy Maggie's size was too large to be concealed by binding, and forcing it was inappropriate, so she chose to leave it alone.

It's normal for the prince to have developed chest muscles.

"Wow, Maggie, you're so handsome dressed as a prince!"

Yoshikawa Sayuri looked at Phoenix Academy Maggie in her prince outfit, her golden hair tied up, looking heroic between her brows, a spitting image of a prince from a fairy tale.

With an expression full of envy, she could only say, beauty knows no gender.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was somewhat uncomfortable with that outfit.

Playing a male character as a female is still quite challenging for her.

Not to mention, she would have to face Hojo Shouko and the others head-on in the end.

The other three might be just minor players in her view.

As soon as the fight starts, they might be eliminated.

Though it sounded dismissive of Nomura True Wave, she indeed could easily be eliminated by the other three.

The ones Phoenix Academy Maggie really paid attention to were only three.

She wasn't sure if the three would team up.

If they teamed up to sideline her, Phoenix Academy Maggie felt she'd likely be eliminated.

With similar physical fitness, even if her skill level might be slightly higher.

But it's hard to resist the sheer number on the other side.

Yet she believes that such a thing won't happen.

The personalities of Hojo and the others aren't like that, the only uncertainty is Arakawa Reina.

Her personality is a bit distorted, not something a normal person can understand.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was thinking about these things when Furusawa Kyoichiro, responsible for preparing the stage play, came over and shouted, "Alright, you need to get ready to go on stage."

"Hmm."

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded, her eyes becoming extremely sharp.

Under Yoshikawa Sayuri's gaze, she and Nomura True Wave walked towards the stage together.

...

In front of the stage in the grand hall, there wasn't an empty seat.

Mainly because of the poster made by Year Two Class C, it was too beautiful.

Seven princes in disguise, a sleeping beauty lying on the bed.

Who can awaken the princess with a kiss?

Just the question at the top of the title was enough to attract those people to come and see if they really used the kiss to awaken the princess.

Emily looked at the title, a smile appearing on her little face as she said, "Haha, Morimoto, your beloved little puppy is about to be deeply kissed by someone else right in front of you. How do you feel about that?"

"Nothing much, I'm not that kind of petty woman."

Morimoto Chiyoda casually responded to her tease, then glanced at Riki beside her and said, "I also want to thank you for pushing such an interesting stage play, allowing me to witness the scene of three people failing."

Riki sat next to her, smiling and said, "You're welcome, I'm just fulfilling a teacher's duty, helping students with their problems."

"Oh, is that so?"

Morimoto Chiyoda deliberately elongated her tone, with eyes that seemed to see through Riki's thoughts.

She could only respond with a gentle and innocent smile.

Morimoto Chiyoda withdrew her gaze, saying nothing more.

She knew who Riki was suspicious of.

And she knew that Riki's suspicion wasn't to catch the real culprit, but simply to verify whether the professor's theory was true.

For those scholars, nothing is more satisfying than proving their theories correct.

But Morimoto Chiyoda doesn't think highly of Riki's behavior.

In human history, there have been many bold and outrageous papers.

Being contrary to the mainstream doesn't mean it's correct.

Many things, in the eyes of later generations, those who were contrary are foolish, ridiculous dinner table jokes.

Just like someone once tried to invent a perpetual motion machine.

At the time, everyone thought it was impossible, and indeed, it was impossible.

Reality never judges correctness based on whether one's thoughts are beautiful.

The professor's unique ideas don't mean they're right.

She turned her gaze towards the stage in front.

The crimson curtain still concealed, and in the soft music, the curtain slowly opened.

The background painted with blue sky and green grass.

As for the tree, it was played by Hojo Tetsuji, who wore a tree costume, standing quietly there.

"Once upon a time."

Nishida Kana, wearing a headset, recited the lines, "In a distant Western Continent, there was a princess with a beauty that could ruin a country.

Because of her exceptional beauty, she was envied by an evil witch, who cast a curse that put her to sleep on a tower bed.

Only her beloved prince could awaken the princess with his kiss.

The king, loving his daughter dearly, declared that whoever could awaken the princess would inherit his kingdom.

The seven princes from surrounding countries all embarked on an adventure to save the princess."

As the lines reached this point, Phoenix Academy Maggie and others strode onto the stage.

"Truly impressive in their demeanor."

Emily showed an interested expression, nudged Morimoto Chiyoda beside her with her elbow, and jokingly said, "Who do you think can awaken the princess?"

"Not sure."

Morimoto Chiyoda shook her head, not quite able to guess who would win in the end.

At this moment, a passionate voice came from behind, "In my opinion, there's an ancient saying in the distant East: 'A tree stands out in a forest, and the wind will definitely destroy it.'

Among the seven princes, the one who stands out the most will definitely be jointly eliminated by them."

Morimoto Chiyoda glanced back, a tall boy sat behind her, his blond hair and blue eyes showed he wasn't Japanese.

Peter wore a serious face, looking at the stage, secretly hoping Phoenix Academy Maggie would fail.

But he also felt that such a mindset made his heart too narrow.

If you love flowers on a high mountain, should you pick them, let them wilt in your palm?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind again, causing Peter to feel conflicted.

Sophia beside him had already fallen asleep when the stage play began.

She had no artistic talent whatsoever.

For this type of performance-based stage play, as long as someone recited a line, she would fall asleep instantly.

"Is that so."

Morimoto Chiyoda's eyes slightly squinted, noticing the boy's abnormal expression, suspected he had feelings for a certain prince on stage and therefore didn't want to witness that scene.

The losers in this world are really countless.

Morimoto Chiyoda pondered this, and her gaze shifted back to the stage, wondering if the most outstanding one referred to the young lady.

She showed a bit of contemplation.

"The seven princes gathered in the royal capital, and the king handed them the map of the tower, letting them embark on the journey to save the princess."

"And so a romantic adventure unfolded."
