The e
This caravan, being one of a traveling theater troupe, see the way
They only open the curtains for a few daysThey practice between travels, rush through rehearsals for a day upon arriving in town, and then give a public performance
“Just froh schedule”
“Probably, but with all the people looking forward to our perforh scheduleThat’s part of being an entertainer”
“Well, I don’t particularly dislike that policy”
The troupe leader, a fire lit under hi, while Master keeps him company
“But is this really… A play?”
“O’ course”
Master turns his half-dumbfounded eyes to the practice
There a scene wherein an actor ju out
“There’s no trees or anything on the stage, right?”
“If it’s not there, we just need to make itPretty sure some God or other said that”
“Wait, wait, even then, isn’t it dangerous? That’s about three h”
“That’s no problem for my actors”
“Actors are a?”
“You there! This is the scene where you force your way in to save the escaped princess! Don’t stagger as soon as you land! You’re gonna lose all your appeal”
“Err, troupe leader, landing fro is seriously impossible”
The actor exasperatedly repliesYeah, that’s impossible for a normal person
“Whaddaya mean? Little Eir here did it”
“Don’t compare me to her, would ya?!”
“Yup, I think it’s impossible too”
The only reason I could juht just fine is because I have these limbs
And ift‘s effects?
Asked by the troupe leader, I showed off how I juht just once
Though I called it ju down, it’s more like I ju and left armThe troupe leader was deeply impressed
“Noon’t tell you to replicate those moves, but if you could just do that spin…”
“Uh, we’d need an acrobat for that”
“No choice thenEir, my troupe needs…”
“I said I’ Eir to you”
“That’s truly disappointing”
Apparently the troupe leader finds my demonic appearance, and the tricks I can do with ift, very desirable
Giving that troupe leader a side-eye, Master extends his cup to me
“Eir, a refill”
“Yessir”
I take the cup and go to prepare some tea
That said, I don’t actually prepare the teaMaster made a whole bunch of tea beforehand, which I holed up in e”All I do is stealthily make it appear in the pot
Since tie,” the tea stays war has passed
I’m done as soon as I fill the cup from the pot
By the hen I tried to actuallyarm
I pass the hot tea to Master, and refill the troupe leader’s while I’m at it
“Ooh, thanksYou’re really considerate”
“M anyway”
With all the instructions he’s shouting, I’s the tea to his lips in enjoyment
And then—
Crash, so
“What was that?!”
“It came from the props area!”
“Kyaaa! So crushed!”
Upon running to the source of the noise, the scaffold built up there had collapsed, and piled up like a ap in the collapsed lumber
“Moto?!”
“Eir, wait! If you’re not careful in handling it, the wood ht collapse more!”
Master keeps me back and runs over instead to take his pulse
“Good, he’s still aliveLooks like he ap in there, but… There’s a lot of blood”
“Come on, hurry, please… Please help him!”
The one i voice is CarlaAs soht now
“I understand… Eir, can you fit a rod or soap and support it so it doesn’t collapse?”
With Master’s order, I take a look at the mountain of lumber
This is the wreckage of the scaffold they’re going to use for an action scene in the play this time
It’s e, but since people are going to stand on it, there’s quite a bit of mass to it
Which ht
“I’ll try”
I answer as such and stick hIt’s just a trick to hide e”
What I took out was one of the grand hedgehog’s spinesHowever, there was no h it, so it was more like a rope
“There’s all sorts of stuff in that bag, huh”
“All to be prepared”
After giving a quick response to the troupe leader’s adh the spine
“Uughk”
“Uughk”
Kevin s tore up his liood impression of them
The spine stiffens once h itAnd it becoic power is poured in
With the huge ah to be coehog could make it
“Going in”
“Be careful”
“Right”
I stick the spine into the gap, and slowly raise the piled-up lumber
There’s quite a bit of weight to it, but it’s not a problethI slowly lift it up so it doesn’t collapse, and Master pulls Moto out of the widened gap
“Okay, you can let it do EirBut do it slowly”
He h away for it to be safeIf it collapses now, then Master er
I carefully let the pile of wood down, and retreat to Master’s side just in case
That way even if it collapses again, I’ll be able to shi+eld Master from it
“Ars, plus the ribs… The pelvis tooHe’s lucky they’re not open fracturesHis organs… One lung collapsedToo long and he would’ve been a goner”
“Hey, you can help hiht? Come on…”
Carla worriedly asks with a shaky voice
“He would’ve been in trouble if there weren’t a healer here”
“Yeah, a healer, but… With injuries this bad, they’d have to be able to use [Recovery] or else—”
The healer woman from Crimson came over and said that
