Chapter Text
" Oh wow, surprised, aren't you hehe.. " Idia said, laughing
" That's awesome, Ortho! I didn't think you'd actually bring him in! " Yuuko ignored him and walked past Idia without a second thought
" ..ehh ?! Are you really not going to care?! " Idia quickly turned back to Yuuko, his eyes filled with near-complete shock
" Nah... Whether you come or not, I don't care. I only care about Ortho " Yuuko responded so quickly that Idia was caught off guard
" Sigh, whatever. So what do you want me to do? " Idia abandoned the idea that he would be complimented
" It's very simple. You just need to help with the background, lighting, music, actor movement, an— " Yuuko was about to speak further, but Idia covered her mouth before she could
" What's wrong with you? " Yuuko removed Idia's hand, her face showing a questioning expression
"What's wrong with me ?? Ask yourself! You're going to make me do almost everything! This is just shifting responsibility away! " Idia spoke, moaning and groaning, his words coming out so quickly that the other first-year turned to look at them
" Whoa ... , I didn't think he'd talk that fast, " Jack said. Then Ace and Deuce nodded in agreement
" You'll get used to it! My brother usually speaks fast, but statistically, this is much faster than before. I suspect he's really angry! " Ortho , who came out of nowhere, suddenly joined the group of first-year
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, but you have no right to complain You're already here, and if you don't help me, I'll make you suffer in hell Idia-san " Yuuko spoke with a smirk, putting immense pressure on Idia, and also on Sebek Ortho The fact that she had driven him into a living hell was far more terrifying
" ...... Okay, I'll accept it. And what kind of storyline are you guys going to play? " Idia openly surrendered to Yuko, which pleased Yuuko, while the first-year students were very surprised
" I can assure you, you'll be impressed ! " Yuuko spoke with a cheerful smile, which caused the first-year students to avert their gaze abruptly. I mean, who would want to hear more nauseating stories anyway?

" Oh shit.. That's a crazy ahh story, and I really liked it. It reminded me of an anime I used to watch " Idia was so excited about the story that he completely forgot about being overworked by his (adorable) junior
" See? I told you it was very interesting! " It was the first time she had talked about the story and had people show the same interest as her, which made her feel much better than before
"From what I've heard, I know how to make it interesting. Hehehehe" Idia began to laugh hysterically, something that already looked quite insane. That made the first year turn to look again
" Dude I think those two get along strangely well," Ace said
All the first-year nodded quickly

[ [Towards the 100th Anniversary Event]
Located at NRC A huge number of people came to this event, including friends, siblings, and parents of some of the students
Everything was perfectly arranged, and the RSA performance was excellent, even though it was a bit repetitive, but many people were impressed with it
Now it's time for the NRC's closing show. There are quite a few people now because it's getting dark, and the stars are much more beautiful than before
" Cater, have you seen Trey?" Riddle said, looking around for his childhood friend
" Hmm, I don't know! Maybe he's already in the first-year theater group~ " Cater said, while holding a poster titled " ALIEN WONDERLAND "
"But honestly, it's a really, really strange name to me, and exciting at the same time. So let's hurry up and go!" After Cater finished speaking, he quickly took Riddle's hand and led him away
" Eh?! .... " Riddle was startled by the action but did not resist

[ At the theater ]
" Wow, there are so many people! Should we sit over there? " Cater looked on in great shock. He hadn't expected there to be so many people!
Although most were students, there were also many families. Luckily, Cater's family wasn't here That's really good....
" There are so many people I'm starting to have high expectations for them " Riddle added, before walking to find a seat nearby
" Ehhhhh....... Is that really who I think it is??? " Cater whispered in Riddle's ear
" Trey and Leona, huh? That's... quite surprising... " Riddle was still reeling from the sight before him. His best friend was sitting right next to Leona Kingscholar ! And they looked completely smitten!
" Excuse me, may we sit with you?" Riddle nudged Trey to get his attention (That means Leona turned around too...)
" Oh, Riddle Cater, I forgot to tell you guys! Sorry, but you can sit with us! Right, Leona? " Trey said with a smile, then turned to Leona, who initially hesitated but felt sorry for the herbivores who had nowhere to sit, so he agreed
" Okay, but please sit a little further apart from us." Leona spoke while placing his other hand on Trey's shoulder
" Sure! Come on, let's go sit down, Riddle~ " Cater grabbed Riddle's hand and led him to sit nearby, but still a little distance away
" Huh.. Isn't that an unusual pairing? Hehe... " Cater turned to speak to Riddle Riddle nodded slightly
" They looked completely shocked, didn't the— " Trey spoke, turning to his friend, before Leona's hand forced him to look at him , his eyebrows furrowed
" Don't pay too much attention to them, my love. Just focus on me " Leona spoke while removing his hand from Trey's face. This action made Trey laugh and feel even more affectionate towards Leona.

" That's an unusual theater, isn't it? What do you think? " Vil said
" Of course! Roi du Poison It must be something incredibly beautiful! "
Rook, sitting beside him, spoke softly, his gaze lingering on an interesting couple
" But did you see that ? Roi des Lions and Chevalier des Roses Sitting next to each other... Isn't that very interesting? " Rook pointed to his left, which surprised Vil quite a bit
" When did they start dating ? ....... Ahahahaha! " Vil spoke while crossing his arms, then turned to face Rook. The two looked at each other and chuckled softly
" So when will we be able to be together Roi du Poison ? " Rook smiled for a moment before asking, his face closer to Vil's
" ......... " Vil's smile instantly turned into a frown
*Sigh* " so we're not dating anymore, Rook? " Will sighed before reaching out and cupping Rook's face, causing Rook to blush intensely
" Oh.. oh, oh! Of course! We're already dating.ฃ Roi du Poison hahaha! " Rook spoke with a flushed face

" I'm so tired of these couples... Kalim, come back and sit here!!! " Jamil glanced at almost every couple he knew before shaking his head slightly and turning to the stubborn guy, telling him to return to his seat
" Ehhhhh... (｡•́︿•̀｡) " Even though he was sulking, he reluctantly went back to his seat as instructed by his best friend
" Please, don't go anywhere alone!? " Jamil spoke in an annoyed tone, which made Kalim give him a wry smile
" Sorryyyy ... " Kalim responded to the apology so quickly that it slightly surprised Jamil
______________________________________________
" Oh dear, it looks like Kalim-kun got scolded by Jamil-kun Ahaha " Jade spoke while secretly glancing at his crush and his best friend (nah) who were having a giggling conversation
" Umihebi-kun~!! " Floyd, who appeared out of nowhere, walked over to Jamil with a very happy expression
" Oh..shit.... " Jamil, turning towards the source of the sound, broke out in a cold sweat as if he had witnessed a disaster
" Oya It looks like it's just the two of us left, Azul hehe.. " Jade turned to Azul, who now had a weary expression on his face as he dealt with Floyd
" Ugh... Floyd, get back to your seat!! " Azul, slightly annoyed, caused Floyd to turn around with a sulky expression
" But I still want to talk to Umihibi-kun :(( " Floyd turned to Azul, giving him a pitiful look, and perhaps Jade as well. That caused Azul to glare at Floyd even more intensely Seeing Azul's reaction, Floyd stopped smiling and turned to Jamil instead
" Okayyyyyy bye-bye Umihebi-kun! " Floyd spoke while waving goodbye to Jamil, who, upon closer inspection, sighed heavily, causing Kalim to chuckle slightly
" Actually, I haven't seen Idia-san yet Do you think he'll come, Azul? " It was Jade who spoke up while Floyd was sitting there bored
" Hmph, someone like Idia-san coming to an event with so many people... No way. Or maybe he's here but hiding in some corner of the theater " Azul spoke while looking left, right, and even where he thought the person he was talking to might appear, but there was no sign of him
" That's true, but don't forget his younger brother will be performing too " Jade responded softly to Azul
" Jadeeeeeeeee, I'm so sooo boreddddddd " Floyd interrupted the two of them, causing Azul to shake his head, while Jade chuckled softly

" Hmm, what a huge theater this is! " Lilia spoke excitedly Beside him were Malleus and Silver, or rather, his sons
" I'm getting excited now! Fuhufuhu! Don't you think so, Malleus ang Silver ? " Lilia turned and asked unexpectedly, which slightly startled both of them (without showing any emotion)
"Yes, Lilia is right. This is really exciting, especially..When Sebek also participated in the performance.." Malleus replied politely, with a slight smile about his adorable younger brother
"I'm sure Sebek will be happy that you guys came to watch " Silver added, glancing towards the stage where Sebek would perform...
" That's right! So, let's find a seat! " Lilia nodded before heading to find an empty seat for the three of them

" Wow, there are so many people ...I'm starting to get goosebumps Brrr! " Epel looked at the numerous seats in the theater, feeling a little uneasy Many people he knew were there, especially his family
" Calm down, Epel, and let me tell you, Idia-senpai has taken the theater far too far " Jack placed his hand on Apel's shoulder, causing Epel to flinch slightly. Jack then looked towards the theater, which was as large as the school's Croissant
" Well well Well, if you guys are going to do something really cool, I'm going to give it my all, right? Hehe. Even though you're performing in a video, the big stage is for the big screen too. Plus, it's a competition, isn't it? So, Ortho and I secretly put glow sticks in the audience's hand rest area. It added a lot of fun. And since the performance will be live and possibly a mix of edited video, there will also be a voting process " Idia continued speaking, while the other actors quietly joined the circle, nodding and listening intently
" Whoa! , Idia-san, I never thought you'd be so dedicated to us. I'm so glad you came to help! " Yuuko Without hesitation, she gave Idia a big thumbs-up. This action startled Idia, causing his face (and his hair) to turn bright pink
" Hu- huh I um.. i - I did it because it was interesting, that's all. I don't care about you guys at all. Hmph " Idia crossed his arms and turned away from the troublemakers who were grinning at him
" Nie-san really did it for us, even though he acted that way. Hehe " Ortho flew behind Idia, pointing his finger at his brother
1
" HUH?!!! That's not true! Don't say that, Ortho?!!! " Idia, now acting so flustered that the other first-years were laughing at him, felt even more humiliated
" Okay, okay, stop teasing him now. Alright, now it's time for us to start the performance " yuuko She cleared her throat before pointing towards the stage, and the others nodded, getting ready
" Finally, it's time to begin. The monitors, display screens, sound system, and everything else are ready. Basically, you can just stand there whenever it's about to start " Idia, whose mood changed so quickly that Deuce was shocked, began walking around checking different areas and finally pointed to a platform on the other side of the backstage
" Okay, before we begin, I hope we all get through this well " Ace spoke up as everyone was walking towards the platform, which made everyone smile before they said...
" Of course! We're the school troublemakers! "
