Chapter 69: Sae Kotani

soon.

The announcement that the performance was about to begin came again, and the lights in the Empire Theater were turned off.

Suzuki Sonoko and others who were chatting shut their mouths and quickly turned their attention back to the stage.

The stage curtain slowly opened.

The familiar scene and the familiar blonde detective Miss Quinn appeared in front of all the audience again.

For this public performance of "The Lost City Girls: Voices of the Dead", more than 80% of the audience were those who had attended the first day of the performance.

Even though they had already seen the first few scenes of the play.

But after the stage play opened, most of the audience still focused on enjoying the performance.

Rather, it is because I have huge expectations for this stage play in my heart.

That's why they are still willing to come back to the Empire Theatre to watch the performance after a month.

Yoko Okino's acting is superb as always.

In the eyes of many viewers, Yoko Okino's performance, which was already perfect more than a month ago,
The effect of today's performance has been further improved.

It's not just Yoko Okino.

The other actors in this stage play did not become unfamiliar with their performance at all due to the one-month interval and the previous unexpected events.

On the contrary, the cooperation became more familiar due to the increased rehearsal time.

The performance of the first three acts ended quickly.

Then comes the fourth act, where Danny Heckel, originally played by Koichi Nishihara, appears.

After Koichi Nishihara was arrested for murder, director Takemura Mine found another friend to play the role of office worker Danny Heckel.

Although this friend of Takemura Mine is not as famous as Koichi Nishihara, who debuted as a child star.

But since he came from a theater troupe, his stage play acting skills are much better than Koichi Nishihara's.

This new Danny Heckel does a great job portraying the transformation of a social animal before and after get off work.

Being cautious at work,

And after get off work, after having a drink at a pub, he gradually regained his energy and spirit.

This also made many viewers quickly attracted to this character.

"Now that I think about it, Mr. Nishihara was able to perform such a vivid and joyful performance precisely because he had killed someone!"

"It's disgusting!"

After the fourth act,

Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth and whispered in Mouri Ran's ear.

Ran Mouri didn't look at Suzuki Sonoko, but just nodded silently.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan, you look a little weird."

Suzuki Sonoko noticed a subtle change in the aura around Mouri Ran.

Under normal circumstances, my good friend Mao Lilan would definitely agree with me.

"I always feel a little uneasy."

Mao Lilan covered her chest with her hands and spoke softly.

"Huh?! Why?" Suzuki Sonoko was puzzled.

"Because...isn't the actor who will appear in the fifth act the victim of the last murder?"

"I heard that this stage play was the actor's first job after becoming an entertainer. I didn't expect that he would suffer such a thing."

"Yeah, I heard that Xiyuan attacked him with the intention of killing him. I'm afraid it will have a psychological impact on him."

When Suzuki Sonoko heard what Mouri Ran said, she also began to worry.

"This is the first performance of Shinichi's father's work. The incident that happened last time has already had a great impact on the reputation of this stage play."

"It's only been a month. I guess the actor has just recovered from his injury and has no time to rehearse."

"Well, Xiaolan, you make sense."

As Suzuki Sonoko listened to what Mouri Ran said, she couldn't help but start to worry.

The actors' performances in the first four acts were much better than they were a month ago.

Therefore, if there were flaws in the performance of Act 5.

After comparison, the flaws will become very obvious.

Obviously.

There were many audience members at the scene who shared the same idea as Mao Lilan.

Because the performances of the previous actors exceeded expectations, everyone began to worry about the performance of the next fifth act.

"It seems like everyone is worried about Akikawa's performance."

Masumi Sera whispered to Conan beside him.

"During the intermission this time, the voices of everyone discussing were obviously much quieter than the previous times." "Yeah, after all, Akikawa is just a new artist, and he was injured and almost died."

Conan nodded.

The intermission of Act IV is finally over.

The atmosphere at the scene, which was already a little depressing, became even more tense as the stage curtain opened again.

There were flaws in the performance, which ruined the careful performances of the previous actors.

——This should have been something that Akikawa Sosuke, the main actor in this scene, should worry about.

But the audience at the scene was even more nervous than the actors themselves.

After the curtain opened.

Presented in the center of the stage is a classroom with a British atmosphere from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

There were several young girls in female school uniforms sitting in the classroom, happily chatting about trivial things in life.

The tense atmosphere in the theater did not soften because of the youthfulness emanating from these young girls.

after all.

Everyone knows that the protagonist has not yet appeared.

About half a minute later,

The door of the classroom suddenly opened with a "clatter" sound as someone reached out from outside.

A student walked in from outside the classroom.

"Hey, everyone, good morning~"

A clear voice that was a little immature but full of youthful vitality rang out in the venue.

Thousands of eyes, breathlessly focused, suddenly focused on the classroom door at this moment.

The only actor wearing a British male student uniform and having a unique chestnut hair.

And then they saw the high school student Sae Kotani walking into the classroom and greeting the other students in the class with a natural and sunny smile.
They all inexplicably felt that the light around this high school student seemed to be suddenly brighter.

"Hey~ Class monitor, good morning~"

"Good morning, monitor."

The girls who were chatting in the class turned their attention to Kotani Sae when they saw him come in.

The voices of the girls chatting disappeared instantly, and were replaced by cheerful voices of greeting that rang out in the theater.

"Milissa, you look good today. Is there anything good?"

"Hehe, I read Tarot cards this morning and learned that I will have good luck today!"

A girl in the class smiled shyly at Kotani Sae.

"Hey, Iori, you got a new corsage today. It's pretty nice."

"Wow! I told you, I told you! The monitor must have seen it right away! Come on, I win, pay up!"

The other girl, who was obviously more outgoing, looked at her friends around her with excitement.

The corners of her lips were clearly raised, obviously not because she won the bet,
Rather, she felt excited because Sae Kotani could see the subtle changes in herself at a glance.

No matter who performs this scene, I'm afraid it will make the audience feel that the protagonist, Sae Kotani, has a bit of the temperament of central air conditioning.

However, when it came to Akikawa Sosuke, it did not make any of the audience members feel frivolous.

It's not just because of Akikawa Sosuke's outstanding appearance,

This made the audience at the scene subconsciously feel that it was only natural for him to be treated like this.

Or is it because from the moment Akikawa Sosuke appeared,

The overwhelming presence that makes people unable to look away, and the temperament that will infect your heart and make you feel cheerful just by looking at it,

All of these made the audience fall in love with this lively and sunny high school student in a short period of time.

Conan, Masumi Sera.

And there was Misaki Itakura who was sitting in the back row and watching.

At this moment, they all opened their mouths unconsciously, staring blankly at the high school student Sae Kotani on the stage, who was completely different from the gloomy Akigawa Sorasuke in their impression.

I felt extremely shocked in my heart.

Mao Lilan stretched out her hands and covered her mouth which was slightly open due to surprise.

Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were shining, and her face was flushed as she was caught by the attention of Sae Kotani on the stage.

It wasn't that the lights around Kotani suddenly became brighter.

But from the moment Kotani Sae appeared on the stage, everyone else around her was instantly overshadowed.

No one had the extra time to worry about the performance of the fifth act.

Because it was just a few words and actions after Akikawa Sosuke appeared.
The whole audience was immersed in his performance in the fifth act.
