Chapter 359 BGM Magic? Waves Rush~ Waves Flow~
"Stop lecturing her, everyone come here."
On stage, Cinderella's wicked stepmother in purple robes makes her entrance.
He was still a large, imposing man.
He lightly tossed the invitations in his hand, then chuckled and said, "G, G, there's a dance in town today."
Two strangely shaped, vicious, and muscular women followed suit, pressing their cheeks together and holding hands.
Their eyes were very wise, and suddenly they began to sing.
"Yes, yes, there's a ball—the prince will choose his queen at the ball."
"I absolutely must attend this grand ball."
Several men dressed as women suddenly raised their legs high, their size 46 or 47 feet kicking and stomping in mid-air.
"I will become a princess!" The muscular man in the green group stuck out his buttocks.
"No, it can only be me!" The muscular man in the red group thrust his buttocks forward.
These two were constantly bickering, their faces almost touching, when suddenly they hooked their arms around each other's and started dancing.
Wang Changsheng sat in the audience, his expression a mixture of emotions, unsure of what to say.
The people around her were laughing heartily, which seemed completely at odds with the awkward expression on Sakura's face.
"I never expected Sakura's class to perform like this, it's really—" Tomoyo paused to find the right words, "...it's quite interesting."
"Hahaha————" Sakura could only nod and had nothing else to say.
Although it's true that we shouldn't criticize anything.
But her brother really made her lose all face —
It would be fine if she came alone, but the most important thing is that her friends were all sitting here with her watching this performance.
"T-T Waaah, will my image collapse in Xiao Wang's mind because of that stinky older brother?" Sakura thought bitterly to herself.
The performance on stage was still in full swing.
Haha! Look at you with such envy!
The burly stepmother in the purple skirt looked down at Kinomoto, who was reclining on the ground in an extremely alluring pose, and spoke to her.
At the same time, he turned his back and, from an angle where the audience couldn't see him, poked Touya with the fan in his hand.
When his companions mentioned it, Touya knew it was his turn to act.
So, Kinomoto-san remained expressionless and sat up, supporting herself with her hands.
He then clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and murmured lines devoid of any emotion.
"Wow."
"I really want to go too."
His tone was flat and cold, just like a machine reading from a script.
It lacked both emotion and skill.
But the more he performed like this, the louder the cheers from the audience became.
This left Wang Changsheng somewhat puzzled.
He rubbed his eyes.
I feel like I've been subjected to some kind of mental pollution.
"You think you're qualified to participate? We're leaving, you can stay here and watch the house!"
"And we're getting to have a late-night snack when we get back, so don't make the food so salty again!"
The burly women with size 46 or 47 feet took turns making threats, then walked off the stage with an arrogant and domineering gait.
Wang Changsheng did not focus too much on the performance.
Because rather than watching that incredibly awkward performance.
It's better to look at Sakura-chan, who's so shy she's about to run away.
This little guy had his head down, and his two little tufts of hair drooped down like a kitten's, making him look incredibly cute.
Seeing her like this, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but want to tease Xiaoying.
"What's wrong? Sakura-chan, why aren't you looking up at the performance? Are you feeling unwell?"

These were clearly gentle and caring words.
But to Sakura's ears, it only made her cheeks blush even more.

"No, I'm fine, it's just that my brother and the others' performance was just too—"
Sakura paused for a long time before finally coming up with a word.
"This is so refreshing that I'm a little unaccustomed to it at first."
"Refreshing, isn't it? —" Wang Changsheng chuckled softly, "Indeed."
It must be said that in this day and age, the idea of dressing up as women in a large-scale performance is indeed very progressive.
After the three burly women left, a boastful shout could still be faintly heard: "Let's go dance with the prince!"
After an interactive segment ended and a part of the play's plot came to a close, the shouts from the audience finally subsided a little.
However, every now and then you can hear comments like, "Kinomoto is so handsome, I want to bully him when he's dressed as a woman."
Wang Changsheng could feel that Xiaoying was exerting all her strength.
He lowered his head slightly, watching Sakura's shoes seem to be moving around, and her toes seemed quite restless.
He hesitated for two seconds.
He comforted her, "Just relax, Sakura-chan, it's okay. The performance was actually quite good, there's no need to be so shy, and—"
"Your toes will get tired if you exert yourself for too long."
"————（，"
[Message]: Your friendly interaction made Sakura want to leave the venue. [Message]: You have obtained a level 4 magic spell—Summon Siren!
[Message]: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +5555
[Summon Siren]: Consumes mana to summon a sea siren to fight for you. The duration of her existence depends on the mana consumed, and she can be refreshed immediately after being killed.
I glanced at the magic reward from the system.
It is quite satisfactory.
However, the fact that you can immediately summon another one after it's been killed is actually quite good.
"Little Wang, stop talking." Sakura, unusually, stopped Wang Changsheng from continuing.
There's nothing we can do about it.
She was already feeling embarrassed, and then Wang Changsheng asked if her toes would get tired—
Ahhhhh!
(:w:) What a disgrace!
Sakura really wanted to burst into tears right then and there.
However, with so many people around, she could only try her best to suppress the mixed emotions in her heart.
Finally, I moved my feet around a bit.
"But what Xiao Wang said is right, your toes really do get tired!"
On stage, Sakura's older brother, Touya, continues his storyline.
She propped herself up and stood up. The lights shone down on her, and Kinomoto faced the audience below the stage, covering her mouth with one hand while letting out bursts of sobs.
Wang Changsheng really couldn't tell whether his "hee hee hee" was crying or laughing.
"Snap"
Suddenly, almost all the lights in the arena went out.
As in the beginning, only a searchlight remained, shining down from above.
Bright light fell on Touya.
His angular, resolute face did indeed make the image somewhat more appealing.
"Kinomoto-san's acting is so funny!"
"Yeah, listen carefully to that mournful crying, it's hilarious!"
"Hahaha, my jaw is about to dislocate from laughing so hard, can someone stop me?!"
Ms. Kinomoto seemed completely oblivious to the jeers from the audience.
He continued to perform his role conscientiously.
"The prince's ball? I really want to go and see it."
Touya closed his eyes and recited the lines he had memorized.
The little wolf had been holding back for a long time, but he couldn't take it anymore.
He also didn't really want to give up this opportunity to mock Touya.
"I have absolutely no idea what this is about. They keep saying they want to go to some kind of ball, but their expressions are as resolute as if they've joined the army."
Sakura covered her face.
"Huh? Isn't that Yukito-san?" Tomoyo's voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying quickly looked back at the stage.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
Snow Rabbit's very distinctive voice rang out.
However, his address caused Touya, whose expression had been relatively calm, to darken considerably.
Another beam of light shone down.
The snow rabbit was wearing a can-shaped outfit and holding a stick with a small fish stuck in it.
He slowly walked towards Touya.
"Really? Is this what he meant by canned mackerel?" Little Wolf asked, looking confused.
Judging from the current storyline, is Yukito going to conjure up some kind of prop for Touya to use at the ball?
"But if I remember correctly, wasn't that some kind of fairy godmother? How did she become canned mackerel???" Little Wolf couldn't understand.
However, the crowd below the stage did not seem to be affected by Yukito's strange appearance, and a gasp of amazement, no less than that for Touya, suddenly rang out.
"It's Tsukijo!"
"Ah, he looks so cute in this outfit!"
"I wish Yuecheng were my boyfriend 555~"
Feeling the screams of the girls around her, Tomoyo couldn't help but smile and say to Sakura beside her, "Oh, so it's this kind of mackerel canned food. It's actually quite cute, and it seems to suit Yukito's image perfectly. Plus, it looks like Yukito is quite popular."
"Mmm!" Sakura didn't deny it. "Yukito looks way cooler than Onii-chan in this outfit!"
"You seem to be having some trouble." Yukito, standing on the stage under the spotlight, walked up to Touya.
His snow-white skin almost glowed under the bright lights.
Touya silently watched Yukito.
The other person had a gentle smile on their face.
She was wearing a round, can-shaped outfit.
It wasn't funny at all; on the contrary, it seemed quite cute.
"Cinderella, here you go."
Yukito handed Touya a note.
Touya took it without even looking at it, but his gaze remained fixed on Yukito.
Seeing that the other person seemed to be gesturing for him to look at the note, Touya quietly lowered his head to look.
The note was actually a cheat sheet.
It contains the lines that Yukito prepared for Touya.
I'm just afraid he'll forget his lines.
"This is your ticket to the Prince's Ball today. With this, you can enter the ball," Snow Rabbit said without changing his expression.
"But this thing is very rare, how could you possibly have it?" Touya recited his lines.
"Because—"
Snow Rabbit waved the wooden stick with the small fish stuck in it, then gently tapped his temple.
"I can use magic!"
The snow rabbit had a piece of paper, similar to the kind worn on birthdays, wrapped around its head.
However, unlike the crown, it was just a can shape printed on a piece of paper.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a discarded canned mackerel! After sitting there for who knows how long, I acquired magic!"
This statement was addressed to Touya, and also to the audience.
Furthermore, Yukito's delivery of lines is far superior to Touya's; his lines are full of emotion, as if they were infused with a soul.
Although he was in good spirits, his lines were still so awkward that it made you want to dig something out of your toes.
"So that's the connection between canned food and Cinderella." Tomoyo smiled gently.
She was holding a video camera in her arms.
This was recorded at Sakura's request.
Sakura's original intention was to record Yukito and her unfortunate older brother's theatrical performance so she could show it to her father.
Unexpectedly, the entire performance turned out to be so breathtaking.
However, Sakura did not stop Tomoyo from recording.
The reason is that her older brother has a lot of dirt on her that made her look bad.
Although it was embarrassing this time, at least she caught me red-handed.
"Hmph, we'll give it to Dad when we get back! We can't be the only ones embarrassed!"
"I still don't understand why they changed the fairy godmother's role to a can of mackerel," Little Wolf said, puzzled.
"If I had to guess, it's probably because Yukito and the others wanted to promote the concept of protecting the environment or saving food, and also to satirize the shortcomings of our current society," Tomoyo said.
"Um?!"
Her words made Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying and the others look over involuntarily.
"So—how does canned mackerel relate to environmental protection?" Wang Changsheng asked.
Touya and his friends' performance was so awkward it made your scalp tingle.
A satire of society?
Society has to say something about it.
Please, can't you find something else to satirize?
"Think about it, didn't Brother Snow Rabbit just say that he was an abandoned can of mackerel? It was because he was left unattended for too long that he developed magic."
"So is it possible that Yukito and Sakura's brother are trying to express the idea that people shouldn't litter and should finish the food they buy?" Tomoyo guessed, keeping the camera steady with one hand and tapping her cheek with the other.
Wang Changsheng looked at Zhi Shi as she spoke these words with a serious expression, his eyes filled with a hint of astonishment.
No wonder Zhi Shi always gets full marks in Chinese exams.
He paused, then said to the little wolf beside him, "Tomoyo's words make a lot of sense. I actually think so too. What about you, little wolf?"
Little Wolf: (o⑧) That's not what you just said!

"Huh? Background music??"
Wang Changsheng was taken aback when he saw the system notification.
"Isn't this similar to Tomoyo's bubble effect?"
Wang Changsheng's first reaction upon seeing the reward was to recall the scene where Tomoyo would be surrounded by a bunch of pink bubbles at certain special times.
