Chapter 920 The Last Daily Life 99
Today is the small theater's day off, and Kobayashi is discussing the next performance with Aqua, Darkness, Lynn, and others. That's right, because there is a real shortage of people, they have no choice but to invite other people to participate.
At first, Cecily and the others were chosen, but that guy always added unnecessary roles for himself for no reason, and often made Aqua do stupid things together, disrupting their scripts and even making them fail miserably. In the end, they had no choice but to abandon her. Aqua was unhappy at first, but she immediately calmed down after Kobayashi said that if she dared to make trouble, he would exclude her.
But since the others were either not good at acting or had no interest in it, they could only choose Dust and the others - to be precise, Lynn, Taylor, and Chis who had acting talent. As for Dust... this guy was just a by-product.
"I say, who should stand in the middle of the next performance? Cool Dust? Or dashing Dust? After all, handsome Dust, right?"
"You're all talking about yourself, aren't you?"
Kobayashi rolled his eyes at the impatient Duster. This guy has been paying close attention to the performances of the hero and the demon king recently. He looked reluctant when he asked him for a favor before.
Maybe it was because he was welcomed by the audience and felt like a real hero, that he became so keen on playing the roles of the devil king and the hero.
By the way, wasn't this guy originally a serious dragon knight? Why did he still want to experience this kind of plot of being sought after? If he turned around and returned to the kingdom and the knights, he would definitely be more popular than he is now, right... Could it be that he didn't want to go back because he made a promise with the princess?
"Shouldn't opportunities like this be distributed equally?" Xiaolin looked at the two people beside him and said, "Next time, let Chis and Taylor perform the roles of the Demon King and the Hero."
The so-called performance does not mean that everyone wants to play a supporting role, some people also want to play the leading role... No, it should be said that most people want to play the leading role, but they cannot do so due to various reasons. Kobayashi believes that since there is such an opportunity, their wishes should not be denied, and should be satisfied as much as possible. Only in this way can the troupe continue to perform for a long time.
"Me, me!?" Taylor became nervous upon hearing this, and said with some concern: "My acting is too ordinary, is there really no problem...?"
"Have some confidence. Taylor has a lot of fans supporting her." Lynn gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile, "You have to work hard for your fans."
"That's right, I have to perform well next time. I can't let my fans down, right?" Chis also said this, looking very confident.
Although Qis' acting is just average, it is much better than Youyou's. After having a clear comparison, even the picky Kobayashi has a lot of tolerance.
At this moment, the door of the guild suddenly opened, and then a man dressed like a postman appeared here, waving an envelope in his hand and asked loudly: "Excuse me, is Mr. Kobayashi here——?"
Everyone in the guild looked over subconsciously, and the postman did not show any nervousness or fear, but said loudly: "I heard that you were here, so I sent a letter here specially--"
"I'm Xiaolin." Xiaolin stood up, walked to the postman, took the letter, and asked in confusion, "If it's a letter, it can be delivered directly to my house, right? Why did you come to the guild?"
Logically speaking, there are mailboxes at the door of luxury houses, and most letters should be sent there.
"No, no, no." The postman shook his head in fear and said, "If this letter is not delivered to you in person, my head will be..."
"A human head? Is it that important..." Xiao Lin subconsciously lowered his head and was shocked when he looked at the envelope in his hand. He exclaimed, "Wow! What is this? There is a royal emblem on the envelope!?"
The envelope is made of pure white and wrapped with golden lace. Although it looks a bit luxurious, it is no different from the envelopes of ordinary nobles. The problem is that the wax used to seal the envelope is printed with the royal emblem!
"Yes!" The postman nodded decisively and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the royal family...! Please sign here to prove that you have received it."
"So that's what's going on...Okay, I've signed it."
Kobayashi quickly signed his name on his receipt.
"Thank you, I've confirmed that there is no problem." The postman solemnly put the receipt into his arms with a gratified smile, then bowed slightly to Xiaolin and said, "Well, I'll take my leave first..."
Then the postman left.
Duster looked at Xiaolin and the envelope in his hand in surprise, and asked curiously: "Why would the royal family send a letter to you? Xiaolin, are you so amazing?!"
"No, no, no, I'm not that great..." Xiao Lin replied casually, then looked at the signature on the envelope and said suddenly, "It looks like this is a letter from Alice."
After all, the only person he knew was Alice from the royal family.
"Alice...!?" Keith looked at Xiaolin in astonishment, and then exclaimed: "Could it be Alice, the first princess!?"
"You can actually address the royal family by their names. Xiaolin, you are definitely not an ordinary person..."
Taylor also said this with some regret.
"Let me see..." Xiao Lin did not comment. He opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter Alice sent him. "To thank you all for your care and concern, I will hold a dance party soon. I sincerely invite you to attend..."
As expected, it was indeed a letter from Alice.
However, what Xiaolin thought was ordinary made Duster exclaim in shock. He said in shock: "The elder brother in the letter, is he talking about Xiaolin!?"
"That's right, Alice calls me brother." Xiaolin proudly swung the envelope and boasted to Dust: "Our friendship is so good, so what, are you jealous?"
Dust was so stunned that he couldn't speak.
"Your Highness..." Taylor said in a low voice, somewhat unsure, "Could it be that you, Xiaolin, have caught her in some way?"
"No way!" Xiao Lin retorted loudly, and said unhappily: "It's just that we are very close friends!"
"Well... to put it simply, you received an invitation to the dance."
"It seems so..."
Xiao Lin looked at the envelope in his hand, and then said, "It seems that the invitation letter attached to the letter can only accommodate two people at most..."
"I I I-! I want to go-!"
As soon as Xiaolin finished speaking, Dust raised his hand frantically, indicating that he wanted to go along. Then, a philistine smirk appeared on Dust's face.
"If I can build a good relationship with the royal family, maybe I can take advantage of the opportunity to get a chance to win a prize and make a fortune! Even if I can't make a fortune, I can still take the opportunity to eat and drink for free, right!?"
"There is no such good thing in the world."
Okay, it’s decided. I will definitely not bring Duster with me this time.
"However, if you and Dust go together, Alice will definitely be very happy." Kobayashi pinched his chin. Although Dust and the others have all kinds of bad qualities, they are still normal people after all. The girl trapped in the royal city must be eager to make friends with them.
"I won't go. I don't really like dances..." Chis shook his head decisively and said, "If Dust wants to go, I'd be happy to give him the spot..."
It seemed that the misunderstanding among the nobles made him feel unhappy. In short, his expression was a little gloomy. Kobayashi guessed that he might have some unspeakable secret, but did not ask the reason.
"Although I am not completely uninterested, if Duster wants to go, I am willing to give him the spot." Taylor shrugged as well, as if he saw what Xiaolin wanted to say, but he continued, "And if no one disciplines him, Xiaolin, you should know what will happen..."
"Thank you!" Dust shouted happily, "Then it's decided, let me go to the ball this time!"
He looked very happy.
Kobayashi was a little conflicted. It was possible, but it seemed strange to only bring two people out of a team of four... and they didn't seem to be uninterested in the dance. Based on this, Kobayashi made a decision.
"...No, the four of you together make a complete team. If you want to go, just go as a group of four!"
"what?"
Hearing Xiaolin say this, Duster was also a little surprised and said, "But, that invitation letter can't bring four people!"
"What are you afraid of? I am Lord Kobayashi who has defeated even the generals of the Demon King's army. I will find a way to deal with this little thing. So!" Kobayashi put his hands on his waist and said to the four people, "I may ask you to perform a drama in front of Alice, so you must adjust your condition first so that you can be on stage at any time!"
"Okay, leave it to us!" X4
The four people agreed readily.
Then, Kobayashi himself was in trouble.
"Although I boasted in front of Dust and the others, what should I do in reality... Should I perform at the city gate... No, no, that would be too..."
"Xiao Lin? Hey, isn't this Xiao Lin!?"
Just when Xiaolin was struggling with how to lead Dust and the others to the royal city, a familiar voice came from behind him. Xiaolin turned around and found a familiar person - he was wearing black armor and had a magic sword on his waist. Yes, it was the magic sword hero Yuken Hibiki! And he was the prototype of the hero played by Xiaolin and others in the small theater.
"Hey, Xiaolin." Yu Jian Xiangye walked up to Xiaolin. He looked at Xiaolin's envelope and asked curiously, "Could it be that the invitation letter sent by Her Highness Alice is in your hand? I didn't expect that you also received it."
"Even you...?"
Xiao Lin was a little curious about his words. At this moment, he realized that Yu Jian Xiangye was also holding an envelope in his hand. From the outside, it looked exactly the same as his. He was surprised and asked, "Is that an invitation letter in your hand as well?!"
"Hehe, I've been involved in the battles of the Demon King's army, so I've had a relationship with the royal family for a long time."
"Yes, yes, you are worthy of being the Demon Sword Hero."
Hearing Yuken Hibiki's somewhat boastful tone, Kobayashi blinked his dead fish eyes and curled his lips in a nonchalant tone, which made him sound a little angry and irritated.
"I'm planning to buy new clothes for the ball. After all, it's really impolite to wear my usual clothes to meet the nobles. Moreover, although I'm called the Magic Sword Hero, I have to follow the corresponding etiquette to be the dance partner of a beautiful woman."
He first showed off to show his attitude, then looked at Xiaolin and asked, "Xiaolin, what are you going to do? If you don't know any clothing stores, I can recommend one to you."
This guy--!
He actually took the opportunity to show off his relationship with the royal family and even said he would recommend a clothing store to me. It made me angry just hearing that!
As for clothes, Xiaolin can use stone slabs to make them. Besides, even if he doesn't use the stone slabs, he knows people. Even Aqua can make good clothes, right?!
"Oh." Seeing Xiaolin not speaking, Yu Jian Xiangye immediately looked at the sun above his head and said, "I'm almost late for the agreed time. Excuse me for leaving now."
He waved his hand casually and turned away.
"Let's meet in the capital, Kobayashi!"
"Oh, goodbye—"
Xiao Lin also waved to Yu Jian Xiang Ye who left gracefully, but his calm face showed another thought: Yeah, although I feel guilty about doing this, it's all for Dust and the others, and also for Alice's happiness! I definitely don't want to take this opportunity to vent my anger, so... forgive me, Yu Jian Xiang Ye, we probably won't meet at the venue.
Steal————!
Kobayashi quietly activated his skill from behind the running Yuken Hibiki, and then an invitation letter appeared in his hand.
When Kobayashi saw the invitation in his hand, a smug smile appeared on his face. He felt as if he had eaten a piece of cold chocolate ice cream in the sultry summer. His whole body felt clear and refreshed.
"Very good!" Xiao Lin shook the envelope and said proudly, "My stealing skills are still in great condition today. Now I can take Dust and the other four to the dance together!"
Turning his head, Xiaolin looked at Mitsurugi Hibiki who was walking away briskly without knowing anything. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "Although it might cause trouble for Mitsurugi of the Demon Sword Hero... However, with his friendship with the royal family, it won't be a problem even if something really happens!"
To be precise, it should be because of Claire's relationship. When that guy heard that Yu Jian Xiangye was trapped outside the ball, she would definitely use her position as a noble daughter to let Yu Jian Xiangye in. Knowing that this would happen, Kobayashi no longer had any psychological burden.
Xiaolin imagined the dance party in the capital in his mind, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
