Before she could even ask, the passing Drama Club President Takeuchi Momo suddenly stuffed a script into her arms.

On the first page, it read —— [Uka Cultural Festival Drama Script "The Phantom of the Opera" (True)]

?

(True)?

"What’s this...?"

"As you see, a new script, hurry up and memorize it now."

Having said that, Takeuchi Momo slipped away.

Like a little bear cub afraid of being hit, her two little short legs moved at lightning speed.

Ayakoji Chiyoko stared at her retreating figure, then reacted, flipping open the script fiercely.

[Raoul: "Why is this happening, why does fate treat me this way, Christine!" (Steps back half a step, in pain, hiding anger)]

Christine: "I’m sorry, Raoul, I can’t reciprocate your feelings." (Sorrowful, leaning into the Phantom’s arms while speaking)]

Christine: "Because I already belong to the Phantom." (Gently looking towards the Phantom)]

The Phantom: "My love, we shall never be apart again." (Also looks back at Christine tenderly)]

What is all this nonsense??!!

Ayakoji Chiyoko’s eyes bulged with fury, and she unintentionally creased the thick script with her too-tight grip.

She read through the script carefully, focusing on the part after Christine leaves the Phantom’s Bat Cave, which is the real script the Drama Club seemingly wrote long ago but deliberately kept secret from her.

Christine doesn’t fear the Phantom as in the original, but instead falls in love with him.

The Phantom, out of self-denial, continuously rejects her but secretly rejoices in her understanding, maintaining a push-pull relationship with her.

But Raoul, Christine’s childhood sweetheart, mistakenly thinks the ugly phantom has stolen Christine away, and ignores her pleas to chase and kill him.

The arrows of the love triangle have completely reversed.

Over there, Kagura Hikaru also got the new script and looks stupified, his mind in total disarray.

The Drama Club people deceived him and Ayakoji Chiyoko by changing the script without permission, arbitrarily pairing Christine with the Phantom.

Holy shit, is "The Phantom of the Opera" going to turn into "Beauty and the Beast"??

Moreover, this new script twists things even further; Raoul, the official match, turns out to be the annoying villain blocking the young lovers, jumping around like a flea.

This is nothing like what was agreed upon in the beginning.

A sudden script change, Ayakoji Chiyoko must be about to explode.

Kagura Hikaru looked up towards her.

Sure enough, Ayakoji Chiyoko, holding the new script, was shaking with anger, her eyes red as if she was a predator ready to strike, exuding an aura of magic as formidable as Two-faced Sukuna.

Her anger is understandable, after all, if they were to perform according to this new script, Ayakoji Chiyoko wouldn’t just be the male lead anymore; she’d directly become the clown of the play, subject to the collective ridicule from the audience.

Her childhood sweetheart stolen away, her love failing yet refusing to yield to her rival, and eventually getting a harsh lesson and left behind underground, watching helplessly through the bars as Christine and the Phantom blissfully unite.

Who wrote this twisted plot! Can it truly not be intentional revenge?

Carefully assessing Ayakoji Chiyoko’s mood, Kagura Hikaru didn’t dare approach her; instead, he shot a questioning look towards Kohinata Motoyo and Kiryu Hina on the other side.

"Sorry, Kagura, this was decided from the very beginning." Kohinata Motoyo put her hands together and, tilting her head slightly to one side, closed one eye to feign cuteness, laughing as she said, "You’ll forgive us, right?"

Kagura Hikaru: "..."

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Heh, hehe, hehehehehe..."

Seeing something amiss, Kohinata Motoyo and Kiryu Hina subtly stood up and moved their feet, hiding behind Kagura Hikaru and grabbing the back of his chair to peek out.

Kiryu Hina: "Ayakoji Chiyoko, you’d better go and memorize your lines quickly; the third act’s plot is quite long."

Kohinata Motoyo: "Yeah, yeah."

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "Heh, hehe, hehehehehe...!!"

With no choice, Kagura Hikaru stood up and said, "Alright, stop provoking her. Ayakoji, you too, start memorizing the script. There’s only ten minutes of rest time; if you don’t hurry up, you’ll run out of time."

Having her boyfriend say this, Ayakoji Chiyoko’s expression twisted awkwardly, and she pouted discontentedly, "Are you taking their side?"

"I have no reason to favor them, it’s just that time waits for no one, and the problems are objectively there, be rational."

"But... Tch, fine, I got it."

Ayakoji Chiyoko glared fiercely at Kohinata Motoyo and Kiryu Hina, who sighed with relief and stood up, her face like a wrathful Prajna mask: "Later, I’ll settle the score with you."

Kohinata Motoyo returned a very forced smile, while Kiryu Hina let out a dissatisfied snort, folded her arms, and turned her head away.

Watching the nasty atmosphere between them, the air backstage also turned abnormal, and Kagura Hikaru sighed, thinking to himself that it served them right for provoking her for no reason, then sat down, scratching his head and looking at the script.

He was seriously worried; to memorize the entire third act’s lines in ten minutes was a daunting task.

Although he had mind-reading abilities that allowed him to copy others’ skills and theoretical knowledge, at the end of the day, this ability did not transform his body itself.

In other words, what Kagura Hikaru possessed was, at most, just a technique.

His memory was the same as it had always been.

However, he had previously read the minds of people who were adept at speed-reading, and he had copied their abilities, so given some time, memorizing the script shouldn’t be a problem.

Seeing Kagura Hikaru sit down again, seriously flipping through the script, Ayakoji Chiyoko had no choice but to follow suit and look at it herself.

She was somewhat confident in her memory; otherwise, she wouldn’t have consistently ranked near the top academically at Yuqiu High School, a school known for its emphasis on advancement to higher education.

Kiryu Hina and Kohinata Motoyo, both women, were sensible enough not to disturb them anymore, quietly sitting in the corner, one reading the script and the other reading a book, thinking and passing the time.

Ten minutes later, a "bah—" sound signaled the reopening of the stage was timely broadcasted outside.

Takeuchi Momo Department Head rushed backstage, only to see Kagura Hikaru and the others already neatly prepared, checking each other’s costumes.

After confirming there were no issues, she gestured, "Come on, the third act is about to start."

Ayakoji Chiyoko and Kiryu Hina simultaneously straightened their collars and exchanged a glance.

The third act was their main stage.

Raoul would be confessing to Christine in this act.

Let’s see how I deal with you.

Ayakoji Chiyoko sneered inwardly, glanced at her archrival, then grabbed Kagura Hikaru’s collar, pulling him close and kissed him fiercely.

Naturally, it was on the lips.

And it was in front of Kiryu Hina, Kohinata Motoyo, Takeuchi Momo Department Head, and even other Drama Club members who had just come off the stage.

After their lips parted, Ayakoji Chiyoko licked her lips expressionlessly, straightened Kagura Hikaru’s disheveled collar for him, then ignoring everyone’s shocked gazes, she strode out of the backstage area.

Kiryu Hina pinched the corner of her eye, smiling helplessly.

She then stepped forward, took Kagura Hikaru’s hand, bent her knees in a curtsy, performing a standard one-handed skirt-lifting gesture, and ascended the stage like a princess.

Once the two ladies had left, all eyes backstage naturally fell on Kagura Hikaru, whose facial expression was frozen stiff.

...Eh?
