CH 85.1

Winter in Torquiva, where there is no snow on the ground, is almost over and people walking the streets are already dressed in a little lighter clothes these days.

The theater troupe was more enthusiastic than ever as we practiced for the completion of the Schenker Theater.

「What’s supposed～ to be done～♪」

「Youuu～♪」

「Ano～are you afraid of hamburgers～♪」

「Ah～♪　I’m so scareddd～♪」

The musicians master brought with him were so overzealous that the play turned into an opera….well, that’s okay.

If it were a play like a prestigious classic or popular work, this would be a problem but our troupe is just doing the usual promotion play written by master.

I told them that since we are going to build a magnificent theater, I would like to see a more prestigious play.

Everyone agreed that the first play must be master’s work so I guess it can’t be helped.

Being the leader of a troupe doesn’t give you power.

I’m sure it’s just a position for others to complain to…..

「Troupe leader Shiro! We are going to show this to our patron, Sawadi-sama, next week. Is this really what you want us to do?」

With a scary face, Zepe-san, the leader of the orchestra, said that to me.

He is passionate about his work but he is too passionate or perhaps he is not interested in anything other than music…..

Anyway, he’s a bit difficult to work with.

「That’s……what’s we’ve been doing.」

「They are all fundamentally out of tune and their pitch is too sweet」

「It can’t be helped. This is the girl’s first opera.」

「You were the star of the Kuratoga troupe. Can’t you do something? Can’t you guide them to be better?」

「Zepe-san, it’s Ku.ba.to.a desuwa. Kubatoa troupe.」

「Ah! Sorry! Anyway, we’re running out of time. Please be better!」

「However, not all troupe members are full time actors.」

「Kuh! Do you think Sawadi-sama doesn’t know that!」

Our troupe hasn’t even made a single penny yet and I think master is a good person to overlook it all……

However, I don’t think this artist-sama understands.

I watched Zepe-san return to the orchestra with an angry expression. I can only give off a small sigh.

Our rehearsal place is close to the main street so we often go to Astrobucks or Animal Café after practice.

Of course, we can go to regular restaurants as well but the company discount at Schenker’s is big.

In order to strengthen the unity of our troupe, it is necessary to interact with each other in detail on a regular basis. If you don’t know the personalities of your troupemates, you won’t be able to deal with any problems that may arise.

I knew it would be hard to be the leader.

It was so much easier when I was just an actress and all I had to do was practice.

「By the way, I had this friend and she has a boyfriend who is begging her for a magic sword…..」

「A magic sword, is it? But isn’t that kind of sword can only be used by a limited number of people?」

「Yeah, but the guy said he had mage blood in him.」

There was a play like that too.

It’s a wonderful love story between an illegitimate noble man and a commoner girl.

「He has a very commoner-like face….but it can still be considered good looking desu yo」

「Leap, do you really want to talk about a friend?」

Ara ara, I also had that feeling but I held back from asking.

「What do you mean! I’m not going to fall for a guy with a face like that!」

「You are really a face person huh」

「…………」

Why aren’t you replying now?

「So, what’s this man’s name? Maybe I know him.」

「Ah, troupe leader is known and knows a lot of people. Hs name is Bodrice…」

I stirred my coffee with milk and made a mental note of what Leap-san had said.

As the leader of the troupe, it’s my job to gather this kind of info, right?

Well, I’ve never been a fan of gossip to begin with so this much should be fine.

But still, special blood huh.

I’m sure the devious Pisquez-dono will be pleased with it……
