Although it was a bit rushed, in the end, everyone successfully performed the last scene of the Knight of Light leading the army to attack the Demon King's Castle, killing the Demon King of Night, and then rescuing the princess. Fortunately, Fang Zheng, Klos, and Tova were all smart people, and even changing the words on the spot was not difficult for them, so soon, accompanied by the audience's warm applause, the drama ended smoothly.
After everyone changed their clothes and came out, they were immediately surrounded by students.
"Ms. Chloë, you played the Knight of Light so well!!"
"Teacher, your Night Knight is so handsome!"
"It's just so-so, it's OK..."
Facing the praise and compliments from the students, Fang Zheng laughed. However, at this moment, a few little girls came out from the crowd.
"Brother Fang Zheng, you acted really well."
Tita clenched her fists and stared at Fang Zheng with wide eyes.
"The Night Knight is so handsome."
"Thank you... Well, don't forget to like it."
"Of course, Anjie and I have been applauding you before."
Enaya also interrupted with a smile.
"It's not easy to seize the opportunity. Mr. Fang Zheng, you are the villain. If you just clap your hands, it will have the opposite effect. Anjie and I have been trying very hard to seize the opportunity, okay?"
"Thank you very much... huh?"
Fang Zheng then realized that Ling and Tio did not follow him.
Where did these two little guys go?
At the same time, two petite figures dragged Alyssa to the corner behind the auditorium.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing?"
Looking at the two figures with black smoke all over their bodies, Alyssa was also a little frightened.
“Didn’t I ask Sister Alyssa to keep an eye on Big Brother? Is that how you stare at people?”
"Hey? What, what happened?"
Hearing Ling's complaint, Alisa was confused, and Tio also asked at this time.
"Who is the sister who plays the princess?"
"Princess...ah, you mean President Tova."
"President?"
After hearing Alyssa's answer, the two were stunned for a moment, and Alyssa nodded.
"Yes, Towa-senpai is a sophomore. Although she looks younger than me, she is an out-and-out senior and the student council president. And don't be fooled by her appearance, she is very popular among the students. The reason why she can play the princess this time is because of everyone's request."
“I see…”
Hearing this, the two girls nodded, and then suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No, wait, that's not what we're telling you! What happened in the end? The big brother and that sister kissed each other!!"
"Ah, that... that was just an accident."
At this moment, Alyssa finally reacted, and her cheeks flushed. After all, because of the mistake in the middle of the play, she was also very nervous, so that until now when she heard the two girls mention it, she recalled the previous scene again.
"Does the sister named Tova like big brother? Does she want to be big brother's girlfriend?"
"I don't know about this...I don't think so, right?"
Alyssa waved her hands and denied it hastily. Although she did blush and feel shy in front of Fang Zheng Tova when practicing the performance, that was because Fang Zheng was playing the Knight of the Night at the time. Alyssa asked herself if she was in Tova's position, she would probably be more nervous than her, so she didn't think about it.
As for their usual interactions, they are also very normal, and it seems that there is nothing special about them...
"But maybe Mr. Fang Zheng likes her."
However, at this time, Theo said something that made the two of them nervous again.
"Otherwise he wouldn't have used this method, at least he doesn't hate that girl. No matter who she is, he won't kiss someone he hates."
"That's not wrong..."
Ling muttered a few words, then sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, that's it, let's go back."
"Hey? Aren't you going to ask Mr. Fang Zheng for clarification?"
"It's nothing, we're not kids anymore."
At this time, Ling remembered that she met Restia and Esther in Yumire Hot Spring Village. Although she never saw the two sword elves appear around Fang Zheng again after that, she recalled what Restia said to her at that time - well, big brother already has many girls by his side, so one more is not too much.
Besides, this is a secret between me and my elder brother.
Noticing the puzzled looks from Theo and Alisa, Ling proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head.
"let's go."
“……???”
Seeing Ling humming a song and turning away briskly, Theo and Alyssa looked at each other in confusion, but in the end they said nothing and just followed silently.
However, when the girls came back, they found that Fang Zheng was entangled by another unfamiliar woman.
"Why don't you join our troupe? I think you have a lot of talent and you can definitely become a star!"
"Miss, I'm a teacher..."
"Wouldn't the show be more suitable for you?"
Looking at the blonde woman who was holding onto his arm and refusing to let go, Fang Zheng was speechless. He had just finally gotten rid of the students' entanglement, but as soon as he stepped into the teaching building, this blonde woman suddenly pounced on him and grabbed him, saying that she wanted to take him to the theater troupe to be an actor because he had a talent for acting... Do you need to tell me that?
"I'm sorry, Miss, I really don't have such plans at the moment. Could you please let me go? I am only here to play a role at the invitation of the students."
"It's just such a waste. You could have shone even brighter on the stage!"
At this point, the blonde hesitated, then took off her glasses and stared at him.
"So, let me invite you to join the troupe. I promise you can become a star!"
"……ah!!!"
At this time Ling, Tio and Alyssa also came over. When they saw the blonde woman was pestering them, they wanted to go up and stop her. However, after the blonde woman took off her sunglasses, Alyssa screamed when she saw her face.
"You, you are not Ilia Platye?!"
"Why?"
"Um?"
Hearing what Alyssa said, Ling, Tio and Fang Zheng were all stunned. Fang Zheng was stunned because the name of the woman in front of him was exactly the same as his own cute magical girl, while Ling and Tio were obviously focused on other aspects.
"Are you the Flame Dancer?"
"Why are you here?"
"……who?"
Seeing his little girl's expression of shock as if she had seen a superstar, Fang Zheng was even more confused. He said that he had no impression of this name, and Fang Zheng was sure that he had never heard of this name - otherwise, based on the fact that this woman had the same name and pronunciation as his own Illya, Fang Zheng would definitely have no impression of her.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, don't you know her?"
Seeing Fang Zheng’s confused look, Alyssa hurriedly introduced him.
"This lady is the top star of the Rainbow Troupe! She's known as the 'Dancing Princess of Flame'!"
"…Wait, the Rainbow Troupe?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned, then looked at the blonde woman again.
"The Rainbow Troupe in Crossbell?"
“That’s right!”
Seeing that Fang Zheng finally reacted, the blonde woman proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, while Fang Zheng was silent for a moment and then sighed.
"Then I should introduce myself. My name is Fang Zheng. I am currently a part-time teacher at the Johnnys Royal Academy. My main job is the president of Starlight Technology... Hello, it's our first meeting, Miss Platier."
"……Why?"
Hearing this, the blonde woman did not react, but the man next to her turned pale and hurriedly grabbed the Flame Dancer.
How could he have thought that his own artist would persuade his own boss? !
In order to build the Starlight Tower, Starlight Technology spent a large sum of money to acquire the Rainbow Theater and the Millennium Hotel. Fang Zheng originally wanted to wait until the Starlight Tower was completely completed before meeting them, but he did not expect to meet them in this kind of occasion.
"So you are our new boss."
After being persuaded by the man next to him who was suspected to be his agent, Ilia seemed to finally understand Fang Zheng's identity and finally stopped pestering him to join the troupe.
"By the way, how long will it take before we can officially perform in the new troupe? I am almost getting impatient!"
"After the Starlight Tower is built."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then he looked at the blonde woman in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"By the way, Miss Ilia...can I ask you a question?"
"Hmm? What's the problem?"
"Do you prefer to receive applause and cheers from the audience in the theater, or do you want your performance to be seen by more people?"
“…Is there any difference between the two?”
Hearing Fang Zheng's inexplicable question, Ilia stared at him in confusion, while Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"Of course there is a difference. Let's put it this way. No matter how big a theater is, the number of audiences it can accommodate is limited. And in order to ensure the audience's viewing experience, it is impossible to design a stage that is too large."
"Well...that's true."
When it comes to her own expertise, Ilia also nodded.
"What if I could get tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people to watch your performance at the same time?"
"Is it really possible?"
Hearing this, the blonde woman's eyes lit up, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Of course, but unlike the live audience, they won't buy tickets to enter. Are you willing to do that?"
"That's fine, but you want tens of thousands of people to watch my performance at the same time? How are you going to do that? If the place is too big, people won't be able to see anything if they get smaller."
"Haha, the mountain man has his own ingenious plan, please look forward to it."
In the end, Fang Zheng relied on this big pie to finally make the Flame Dancer give up the idea of recruiting her to join the troupe. However, she still couldn't help but ask Fang Zheng to come and play a few guest roles occasionally, because it would be a pity if someone with his expressiveness didn't appear on the stage... Well, Fang Zheng said that he would talk about it when he had time.
After that, everyone enjoyed the school festival to their heart's content. Fang Zheng then drove Ling and the others home, and then returned to the academy to participate in the after-night festival. This was a festival that only students from the Royal Academy would participate in. Everyone sang and danced in front of the bonfire, bringing this lively festival to a close.
Fang Zheng rejected the invitations of several girls and went back to his office yawning. After all, he still had his own work to do.
“Uh… um…”
However, just as Fang Zheng walked to the door of the office, he suddenly heard a vague, seemingly painful groan coming from inside the door. Hearing this, Fang Zheng stopped, then he quietly pushed open a crack in the door and looked inside.
Then, Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.
Through the crack in the door, I could see a petite figure with her back to me, moving back and forth at the top corner of the desk. It was a girl with long brown hair. She had put on her original school uniform, and at this moment, she was holding the hem of her skirt with both hands and gently lifting it, swinging her slender waist. Under the dim light, I could see the girl's graceful legs wrapped in black stockings trembling constantly.
"Umm... um... teacher... teacher..."
The girl's face was gloomy and she murmured incoherently.
"Housing type...housing type...it's been renewed...it's going to be renewed...wuu ...
Finally, under Fang Zheng's gaze, the girl's body trembled slightly, and she stood up as if stiff. After a few seconds, she fell on the table, gasping for breath.
At the same time, Fang Zheng opened the door and walked into the room.
"Teacher?!"
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the girl was startled and turned around hastily. After seeing Fang Zheng, her face suddenly turned red.
"I, I'm not...that...not..."
"I saw clearly what you did, Tova."
Fang Zheng closed the door with his backhand, then walked to Tova's side, reached out his hand, and gently stroked her cheek. Tova stared at him with a dazed look in her eyes.
"I, I don't know what happened to me, teacher... I can't forget what happened at that time. I... I feel like I have become a different person. I..."
"I know what you want to say."
Fang Zheng stretched out his finger and gently pressed it on Towa's lips. Then he lowered his head and stared at the girl in front of him.
"So, do you want to confirm it again?"
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Tova did not speak, she just turned her eyes away with a red face and slightly clicked the picture. Seeing Tova's answer, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then he put his finger on the girl's smooth chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"Look at me, Tova."
"teacher……"
Looking into Fang Zheng's eyes, Tova seemed confused and whispered to herself. Then she reached out and hugged Fang Zheng's neck.
“Teacher…Ah…!!”
The girl's scream turned into a low moan halfway through, and under the bright light, two black shadows could be seen entangled together.
Accompanied by the sound of tearing, the atmosphere in the whole room soon began to become hazy and hot.
