57 Lesson 57: The True Villain (1/2)

As the curtain rose, the music began.

Of course, live music is accompanied by magical effects, such as magical instruments and chanting songs.

――――♪

The 'Mirage Ball' provided on the ceiling in the centre of the stage shines. On this stage, all performative magic was diffused via mirage balls, with astonishing effects.

The stage, the guest seat, changed its appearance in an instant.

The wedding venue, which was only in the set, was no longer even extended to guest seats.

Until recently, what was a special stage has been transformed into a wedding venue. The audience who came to see the show became participants in a whispering wedding, celebrating the ceremony of the two main actors.

――――♪

At the command of the conductor, the music switches. The dazzling light of the sun poured down on the wedding venue where he was born in the middle of the meadow.

There you are, two.

Noble and warrior, ”Ray” played by Franca.

Girl Wizard Bride, ”Pudding” played by Prine.

A dove flew simultaneously from behind the ceremony, as if to bless them.

A priest announces two marriages, and Ray raises the vale of the pudding.

At that moment,

”Ha-ha-ha!

It gets dark all at once around, and laughs like assholes.

”I'll take that beautiful bride!

An audience that sounds deliberately and pleasantly noisy.

I don't know who's betting on finding Phantom Z first, but I'm looking for ceilings, walls, columns.

”Right here!

The priest twirled and turned into a dubious masked man with a hat on his black cloak.

That's how he holds the bride and pokes the sabel at Ray.

”Oh, my God!

”Nooo!

The screaming of a delightful pudding and the half-seriously caustic voice of Ray.

Phantom Z mocks Ray by showing him the sabel he is raising on his hip.

”Come on, nobleman. What do we do? Is that hip thing decorative? No, no, it's for etiquette, so I'm pretty sure it's a decoration, but that's not what I'm trying to say. Bye. Nobles who are useless when they are at heart while I say Nobles Obriege, etc! This duel with me. But is it worth protecting this young bride!? Or use your age as an excuse to run away - whoa.”

The guests are nobles and merchants. The Phantom Z, who clearly named himself a 'villain' by making fun of them, retreats without difficulty from Ray's sabel rolled out in the middle of the dialogue.

It's an act, but the sabel is real. Using real weapons with magical effects is also an attraction for guild-sponsored show stages. If you take it badly, you won't be spared major injuries.

- Heh, let him talk to the end. Adrift, though.

Laughing under the mask, Phantom Z sees the bride in his arms.

”You're really light. Are you eating properly?

”Ha, I'm eating! No, get off me!

Whether it was an act or not, Pudding rocked his body with joy. I'm trying to escape today, but my chest is shaky and very horny with a full open chest. The Phantom Z, who doesn't like it, hides it with a cape. Booing happened in a different way but I don't care.

- What are you?

Ask Z for so much killing that Ray doesn't think it's a play. That's what I want to hear, but I'm not going to say - I'm going to answer you.

”I'm Phantom Z! A thief who robs you of something beautiful! So you're here today to grab the best bride in the country, nobleman?

”Good, you're here to get me killed.”

”Talk, are you listening?

”Have ears to listen to!

Hikaru, and the swinging sabel. I see three swordsticks at too much speed. No, you're absolutely serious about this. You're seriously going to kill me. Seriously, the Phantom Z that spreads magnificently while I think in the corner of my head.

”- Mm.”

”Whoa, it's dangerous.”

They cut off the end of the hat thoroughly and surprise me greatly. Even though I have spare manoeuvres, I am still sweating.

- You're really strong, Koz. There seems to be about a swordsmanship level 25.

In the script, after this, we slash each other appropriately, we fall pretending to be slashed appropriately, but can we afford that? Seriously though, they're going to kill me the moment I do it right.

I'm thinking about it. I'm going to slash it more and more.

Music turns into that for combat. In line with the fierce tempo, while holding the pudding beside him, Phantom Z receives the sword while being pushed.

I just thought it was time to fit in when I was deliberately hit, and Ray stopped moving.

Surprisingly,

”............ I see”

Boosh, and a small voice that doesn't even ride the sound collecting magic Mike, Ray - no, Lord Franca shrugged.

”Are you Larna Plata? I'm sure you're not alone.”
