327. Sudden Gust 3 [Double Monthly Pass](1/2)
On Saturday and Sunday, Toru Watanabe has been studying the script.
In order to calm himself down, he left his apartment in Shinanocho and did not go to Jimbocho, which was more easily distracted. Instead, he found a quiet cafe.
When students perform plays at cultural festivals, there is actually no need to be so strenuous.
Find a famous book at random, such as the classic "Romeo and Juliet" or "The Little Prince".
Or take the story of Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, change a little here, delete a little there, and sprinkle with rose petals. For high school students, it will be a good play.
The ones who performed particularly well in the drama were three people from the Human Observation Department.
Even if Toru Watanabe goes up with a wooden stick and says "Hey!" and "Ha!" twice, when it's over, someone will probably say, 'Wow! It looks good!'.
As for whether the drama is good or not, people who will watch it probably won't care.
But Toru Watanabe is not just trying to cope with the school's rule that "all clubs must hold activities during the cultural festival", he has a wish he wants to achieve:
Rin Kiyono and Miki Kujo reconcile.
""The End of the World and Grim Wonderland"?" During club activity time on Monday, Rin Kiyono turned over the script written word by word by Toru Watanabe.
The handwriting is neat and neat, and at first glance it looks like printing.
"First of all, let me state that this has nothing to do with Haruki Murakami's book of the same name." Toru Watanabe said seriously, "Just like many songs are called "Sakura", but the lyrics and songs are completely different;
'YUKI', but there are more than 250 ways to write it, such as 'Yuki, Yusi, Yumi, Yuwei...Yumi, Yumei'."
Rin Kiyono ignored Toru Watanabe, who kept explaining, and kept reading the script.
"Miki, this script is the first draft, and it will definitely be revised in the future, so it is not printed." Toru Watanabe explained to Kujo Miki, who was rarely reading a book.
"Just give me the final version. By the way, my role doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of scenes, but it must be outstanding, otherwise I won't be able to play it."
"Of course, you are the heroine who starred in the Oscar-winning film "Iwate to Tokyo, 400 Kilometers". You won the Academy Award for Best Actress last year, the Berlin International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award...
....”
"Can you please be quiet, Toru Watanabe-san?" Rin Kiyono raised his eyes and gave Toru Watanabe a cold look.
"Okay, last year's Oscar for Best Director."
Qingye Rin sighed deeply, rubbing his eyebrows as if he had a headache, full of helplessness.
Watanabe Toru fell silent, and the only sound in the mobile classroom was the sound of pages being turned.
When the clock made the distinctive clicking sound on the hour, Rin Kiyono knocked the script twice on the beech wood table, and the script immediately became neat and tidy.
"How?" Watanabe Tetsu closed his book and read half of it.
Rin Kiyono put the script on the table, holding his right elbow with his left hand, and stroking his delicate cherry blossom-colored lips with his right hand, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Looking for the girl at the end of the world, the girl in Wonderland, is quite interesting," she said.
"Passed?"
"Let's leave it like this for now." Qingye Rin put down his hand, picked up the script again, and flipped through it. "A script is a script after all. Only by actually acting can you know what is appropriate and what is inappropriate."
"It's just like painting. The draft looks good, but when you actually paint, you still have to keep revising it? When you encounter Party A who keeps making demands, the painter..."
"Let's talk about this topic when I have time."
"Okay, I'll write it on the calendar for you."
"After the script is finalized, the next step is to assign roles, as well as costumes, props, lighting effects and other trivial matters."
"As for the role, the girl who is looking for the end of the world will be played by an Oscar-winning actress; and I think you are the only one in the world who can play opposite her, Kiyono-san."
"There are four roles left, which one do you plan to play?" Rin Kiyono asked Toru Watanabe.
"There's only one male character, right? The devil."
"You have experience in women's clothing." Qingye Rin explained, and then said: "Who should I look for for the remaining three characters?"
"Mai-senpai, Koizumi-sensei, the last one doesn't matter, Ichiki Aoi or Tamamo are so beautiful, anyone can do it."
"Ask how many people are willing and let them audition."
High school students actually need to audition for a play at a cultural festival?
Only Qingye Rin in the world dares to think like this.
"The role allocation will be like this for the time being," Qingye Rin continued to order. "For props and costumes, you can ask the Art Department and the Crafts Department for help."
"Director." Toru Watanabe raised his hand.
Qingye Rin gently raised his perfectly curved chin and gestured to him.
"The current territory of the empire is only the Music Department. The Art Department and the Handicraft Department have not yet been included in the territory."
"Try to talk to them, but if it doesn't work, we can do it ourselves." Qingye Rin didn't care at all, and didn't take the small matter of designing and making props and uniforms to heart.
"I don't use them for my clothes," said Miki Kujo, a craftsman and mysophobic princess.
Rin Kiyono and Toru Watanabe set off to find the art department and handicraft department.
The art department is on the second floor and uses the usual art classroom.
Toru Watanabe once imitated Picasso here and drew ape-man with a very personal style, which earned him the highest rating ever - B.
Until now, B is still his highest score.
Fortunately, Kujo Miki is very talented in painting, so their children will not have to lose at the starting line in the future.
Before entering the art classroom, I heard noisy discussions and smelled the smell of paint on my nose.
But as the two of them entered the art room, the voices of discussion immediately disappeared.
In this silence, the culprit, Kiyono Rin, spoke in her heavenly girl-like voice: "Who is the director of the art department?"
She was very polite and had no other meaning, but the listeners felt that they could not refuse from her words.
"I, I am!" A short girl with a round face and bob hair stood up.
"Hello, I am Kiyono Rin from the Human Observation Department." Kiyono Rin's self-introduction was a complete waste of time.
Except for Toru Watanabe, who was studying hard because she missed the opening ceremony, no one in this school didn't know her.
"I am Kiyomi Ogawa, the director of the art department." The girl with the bob hair nodded quickly in return.
"Senior Ogawa, if I'm going to take you a little longer, can you come outside for a moment?"
"Well."
Poor Miss Kiyomi Ogawa, like a junior student who was overwhelmed by the imposing manner of the senior senior students, obediently followed the two of them out of the corridor.
"Ogawa-senpai, does the art club plan to help other clubs design props and costumes during the cultural festival?" Kiyono Rin asked, crossing her arms.
"Yes." Ogawa Kiyomi nodded obediently.
Toru Watanabe, who is less than 1.5 meters tall and has a bob haircut, standing behind Rin Kiyono, has the illusion that he is ganging up to bully elementary school students.
"The Human Observation Department is planning to perform a drama at the cultural festival. Can you help us design it?" Kiyono Rin asked.
Ogawa Kiyomi had a hesitant look on her face.
"Don't be embarrassed, just say it if you can't do it. We never force others." Watanabe Toru comforted.
"No, no!" Ogawa Kiyomi waved her hands quickly, "That's not what I meant!"
"Are you worried that the design won't look good?" Toru Watanabe asked.
"Yeah!" Ogawa Kiyomi nodded hurriedly.
"Watanabe-san," Kiyono Rin turned around, "you are the script writer, and you used your clever but dirty mind to calculate the measurements of our bodies. I leave the costumes and props to you."
"I think 'obscene' is redundant."
Rin Kiyono ignored Toru Watanabe's words and continued: "The art department provides the plan, and you are responsible for checking whether it meets the character's requirements. Can you do this simple job?"
"That's fine, but what do you do?"
"Lighting, venue, sound."
"You have worked hard."
"You stay here, I will go to the handicraft department alone. These matters must be resolved as soon as possible, and then we can start rehearsing."
After watching Rin Kiyono walk away with her most beautiful legs in the world, Toru Watanabe looked at Kiyomi Ogawa.
"Senior Ogawa, please give me your advice next time," he said politely.
"Ah? Hmm, please give me some advice."
"Don't be nervous, senior." Although Toru Watanabe didn't smile, his tone was quite friendly, "I'm not the iceberg beauty Kiyono-san. I never do anything that forces people to do anything. Clothes and props are more or less enough."
Ogawa Kiyomi started to smile and subconsciously said happily: "That's great."

"Still designing so late? Thank you for your hard work, senior!" (20:15)
"Nothing~~"(20:15)
