CH 85.3

「Don’t we already have that? We have our own orchestra.」

「That’s one thing but we need something more fundamental. We need something that will attract even people who are not interested in plays……」

Specifically, we need top notch actors.

We need actors who are popular and can attract theater goers.

If we put together everyone’s opinion here and propose them to master, maybe he’ll buy slaves like that.

「We are going to build a pretty luxurious theater, won’t that be a good selling point?」

「I am certain that some customers will come to see the building once or twice but that’s it. If the play they’ll watch don’t stand out……」

「Right……」

「As far as I’m concerned, if we could bring in even one top notch actor, that would be a good selling point.」

「Actor, is it……」

「I know nothing aside from music」

「I know nothing aside from painting」

In the midst of the deadlocked discussion, a loud “pan” resounded. It was Moimo-san clapping her hands.

「It’s time. Let’s take our discussions back and discuss it with your team. Are you fine with that, Shiiro-san?」

「Of course」

I’ve done what I can.

Now, all we need to do is to appeal to master during the trial play.

「Ah, I’m going for a drink with Zepe, do you girls want to join?」

「Are you going to buy us our drinks?」

「No」

「I think I’ll pass. Sorry.」

I dodged the two elderly men’s kind invitation. Moimo-san and I left the practice area together.

Before we knew it, it was spring and we didn’t even need coats even though it’s night.

「Moimo-san, please think about what I said.」

「Personally, I’m not too worried about it……if guests don’t come in, then don’t. Master will probably come up with something out of ordinary solution.」

「Still, it’s worth thinking about.」

「Alright. See you.」

I saw Moimo-san off as it was already late at night.

While I was thinking about it……warm breeze lured me to a bar near my house.

This should be the first sign of spring, right?

I should have invited Moimo-san.

The day of the trial viewing turned out to be a warm, sunny day.

Master, madam, and their twins were already seated and waiting for the curtain to rise.

Moimo-san was doing a fine job of handling the situation but the performers were tense and stiff.

I tried talking to them and rubbing their backs but it didn’t seem to calm them down.

It can’t be helped……this is what it means to be on stage.

However, you just have to do it.

If you falter due to nervousness, that means you have reached the limit of your ability.

The performers, who were not moving well, were pushed to the stage and as lights went out, the play began.

The play was “Scary Hamburger”, a new piece written by master.

While women were talking in a group about scary things, one of them started saying that she was afraid of hamburgers. That made the other girls there play a prank on her……

The woman ate a lot of hamburgers, who she was supposed to be scared off, said another thing without feeling bad about lying. She said, “I’m actually really scared of Schenker Cola.” Which is something indescribable.

「Ahhh〜♪　What the〜♪」

「This bitch〜♪　She ate it all〜♪」

「Bitch〜♪」

「She ate them all in one go〜♪」

「Sorry〜♪　Sorry〜♪」

「Well then〜♪」

「Ouch〜♪」　

「YOuuu〜♪」

「Were you really scared〜♪」

「Ah〜♪　I〜♪　I〜hey〜♪」

「「「What〜♪」」」

「Those things around〜♪」

「「「What〜♪」」」

「Schenker cola scares me〜♪」

「「「What the hell〜♪」」」
