Tokyo Tycoon, Start as a Writer

Chapter 91: Inside the door, the elder sister kisses; outside the door, the younger sister is cuckolded

At the first rehearsal on Monday, it seemed like everyone in the drama club came and the rehearsal room was packed.

The students were chatting among themselves. Although one person's voice was not loud, the voices of more than thirty people combined became very noisy.

"Please keep quiet, the meeting is starting now." Matsueda Luming raised his voice and shouted.

The people below looked at her and gradually quieted down.

"After what happened last week, I feel that some members are not that passionate about drama. In order not to waste other members' time, I have made the following decision." Songzhi Luming looked around and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "The performers for Julien and Madame de Renal will be replaced with other people."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the classroom.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, with the opposition talking among themselves, and even those who supported the minister looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this moment.

Before the voices of opposition were heard, the clear and cold sound of pine branches and deer calling was heard first.

"You don't need to think about why I changed players at the last minute. You just need to focus on your own roles. Also, obey my orders and strictly implement my arrangements."

The arrogant words, like those of a self-willed tyrant, echoed in the quiet rehearsal room.

"Why do you do this?" a voice came from the crowd.

She is the third-year senior who previously played the leading female role, and is also the leader of the opposition to the first-year minister.

"Senior Inoue, the reason I did this is because you failed!" Matsueda Luming said coldly, without any emotion towards this senior. Then he glanced at everyone in the classroom, "I don't care what you think of me. My only goal is to get first place in the cultural festival. I am different from some of you who are here to kill time. As long as I have a goal, I will definitely achieve it."

She was talking up there, and the people down there were talking too.

The scene seemed very noisy.

Regardless of what the people below said, Songzhi Luming announced to himself: "I never fail, and I don't allow myself to fail, so I will succeed this time as well."

"You are a genius in the eyes of your teachers. You are given preferential treatment in everything you do. How could you fail?" There was a shrill laughter from the opposition.

Songzhi Luming just glanced at him and didn't respond.

As a genius, she was indeed treated very well and had many privileges of a genius.

But she has never used any privileges so far. On the contrary, her efforts are often denied because she is too smart.

Do you get angry because of misunderstandings?

will not.

Giants don't care about ants at all.

Matsueda Luming didn't even look at those people, and picked up the gel pen: "First of all, if anyone has raised any objections, please withdraw now. Inoue-senpai, please take your supporters and leave."

This statement is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

“We don’t have a chance to play?”

"We are in the third grade, why should we listen to you?"

The opposition was in an uproar, accusing the minister and making stinging protests.

"What do you know as a first grader?"

"Even the counselor wouldn't dare to do this to us!"

"We really won't perform. There are only a few days left until the cultural festival. Who can you find to replace us..."

The seniors, led by Inoue, folded their arms and stood angrily by the window, making it clear that they had no intention of continuing the rehearsal.

The remaining people looked at each other and exchanged uneasy glances.

"Very good, is there anyone else who wants to leave? For the rest of you, let me remind you again..." Songzhi Luming still had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were calm. "It doesn't matter whether you hate me or hate me. I only ask that if you want to participate in this stage play, you must obey my arrangements!"

The rest of the people looked at each other and said nothing.

"Very good! Here are the new scripts." Matsueda Luming picked up a stack of freshly printed scripts and handed them to the nearest person, "Xiaosong-san, please distribute them to everyone."

"Oh, okay!" The cute and well-behaved student Xiaosong, who was wearing glasses, responded quickly.

After the new script was handed to everyone, Matsueda Luming spoke again and emphasized: "In the last few days left, everyone must remember their lines and the key points of the role performance and prepare for the cultural festival performance. Finally, I will say it again: I did not force you to participate. Since you chose to stay, I hope everyone will stick to it and don't betray your choice!"

"Good~"

"I understand~"

There were sparse replies from below.

There is less than a week left until the cultural festival, and now even the male and female protagonists are unknown. How can they have any confidence?

At the door of the rehearsal room, after a while, Matsueda Kiyoaki looked at them in the meeting and said helplessly, "Actually, there could be a better way to handle this..."

"I think this is a good idea." Songzhi Qingxue looked at her sister with a smile in her eyes. "Instead of letting the conflict break out during the performance, it is better to directly bring it out now, resolve the internal conflict, and then work together to achieve the team's goals. This is also good."

"It's not impossible, but even if Xiaolu gets first place, he will still be hated later."

The senior-senior system in Japanese schools is also very strict.

As a freshman, Zhi Luming treated an old student like this. Once the news got out, people would definitely gossip about him, talk about him and curse him behind his back.

Songzhi Qingxue turned his head to look at Songzhi Qingxian and said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this. Xiaolu is just like me. I care about the people I care about. I don't need to take to heart what other people who don't care think."

In fact, everyone understands the truth.

For example, most people know that you don’t need to care too much about the secular gaze, but when you actually do this seemingly simple thing, you will find that people are bound by various social relationships and constraints, and it takes a lot of determination to persevere at critical moments.

For example, he, Kiyoaki Matsueda, wanted to eat sisters' rice bowl.

It sounds simple, but when you actually do it, you will find that there are resistances everywhere. The first one to object is Masako. She will definitely ask why you only eat your daughter and not... ahem, it seems I have gone off topic!
Kiyoaki Matsueda shook his head, bringing his thoughts of eating the Matsueda family bucket back to reality.

"It's time for us to go in too." Songzhi Qingxue smiled at him.

"Good~"

The light of dusk flows into the room.

As the curtains sway in the wind, their lustrous, flowing texture looks like beaten egg liquid.

Songzhi Luming still stands in the front.

She has a slim and beautiful figure and wears the same school uniform, but she stands out from the crowd, revealing an ethereal and elegant temperament.

"Buyer, who will play the male and female protagonists..." Finally, a member of the department couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, who will come?" The rebels on the other side laughed, "I want to see who dares to take this position..."

The slightly threatening voice filled the rehearsal room with a tense feeling as if a storm was about to break out.

"Ah, there are so many people~"

A bright voice interrupted forcefully.

A tall and elegant older sister walked in and immediately looked towards the rebels, sizing them up.

The look in his eyes, as if he was measuring a person's weight and preparing to kill him, chilled Inoue to the bone.

"You screamed very loudly just now." Songzhi Qingxue said with a smile.

"Ah, I, I didn't..."

Inoue was frightened by her gaze and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"It's so rude that you don't even respect the minister." Matsueda Kiyoyuki said lightly.

"That, that's..."

Inoue was desperately trying to think of how to defend himself. At this moment, Songzhi Qingxue suddenly smiled again: "Leave quietly, we don't need you here anymore."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, with the texture of ice hitting each other, yet it was also majestic.

Although he was clearly laughing, that terrifying feeling of oppression could penetrate into the listener's body along with the sound.

The reason why the elder sister is stronger than the younger sister is that the elder sister has a stronger aura and her dark side is not concealed at the same time.

My sister said: I don’t care what you do, I just need to do my own thing.

My sister's message is: obey me and I will maintain a friendly relationship with you; if you have any objections to me, I will strike you down mercilessly.

Inoue, who was still a student, was no match at all. His face turned red and he was speechless.

Matsueda Kiyoyuki was not very interested in her. After a slight shock, he looked at the well-behaved students and said, "At my sister's request, I will play the role of Madame de Renal in the drama club's cultural festival performance."

"Wow~"

The students exclaimed.

"In addition, he will play the role of Julien." Matsueda Kiyoyuki pulled Matsueda Kiyoaki, who was watching the play, to his side with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

The students' attention immediately focused on Kiyoaki Matsueda.

"Wow, so handsome~"

"He should play Julien..."

"This is Matsueda-san's brother-in-law..."

"Ah, it's Mishima!" A fan of Mishima's books screamed and was about to rush over to ask for his autograph.

"Okay, everyone, please practice on your own first!" Matsueda Luming stepped forward in time to calm the commotion of the members and handed the script to his sister. "I have to hurry up and draw the promotional poster. You two can rehearse on your own."

"Eh? Isn't Xiaolu coming first? I want to see you and my brother-in-law act out a love scene..."

Under her sister's "Why don't you just die" look, the elder sister's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she pouted in boredom, took the script and looked at Songeda Qingxian, her rosy lips slightly opened, and she recited the first line of her and Julien's meeting.

Madame de Renal was a naive, shy and somewhat timid woman.

She was an overly sensitive woman. When she heard that her husband had found a carpenter's son to be a tutor for their children, she immediately thought of him as a disgusting guy, rude, unkempt, and who might even whip her children if they were disobedient.

With this fear she saw the face of the young countryman walking from the garden into the drawing-room.

His cheeks were rosy, his eyes were drooping, his brows were delicate, he was wearing a snow-white shirt, and his eyes were so gentle.

At first Madame de Renal thought that this was a girl disguised as a man, but he looked as if he had just cried, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"What are you doing here, my child?" (Tenderly, motherly.)
This tone, which was very similar to Arun's, startled Songzhi Qingxian for a moment. He looked at Songzhi Qingxue, but was moved by her tender eyes. He was surprised by her beauty and gentleness, and for a moment he almost forgot that he was acting.

At this time, the students nearby were all paying attention to them. After all, they were the male and female protagonists, and they were a combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

Matsueda Luming also looked over, hoping that Matsueda Kiyoaki could give him a surprise.

"What are you doing here, my child?" (Madame de Renal repeated her question)
Only then did Kiyoaki Matsueda remember that he was acting, and his emotions began to brew slightly.

The sun was setting, and the training room was dyed with madder color. The young man immersed in the honey color said in a voice that was sweet enough to melt the hearts of girls: "I will be a tutor, ma'am." (Good reading)

"..."

For a moment, the whole place was quiet.

The students all looked at him, with some relief in their eyes unconsciously: See, it turns out that there is no such thing as a perfect person.

The opponents, on the other hand, looked like they were watching the fun.

...Choose such a good-looking but untalented guy as the male lead, just prepare to make a fool of yourself!
"Ah~"

Songzhi Luming covered his forehead in pain.

She realized belatedly that a play could not be performed just by saying so, at least not by Kiyoaki Matsueda, who had no acting skills at all...

"You seem disappointed?" Kiyokatsu Matsueda looked at the deer.

Songzhi Luming's face was dark, and he looked at him as if he were looking at a corpse: "Do you want me to laugh? The performance is less than a week away, and I still can laugh? I want you to learn acting from scratch, is it too late?"

"Maybe it's not too late?"

"Oh!" Songzhi Luming felt completely hopeless.

"How about this, if my performance on stage satisfies you, you can do housework for a day." Kiyoaki Matsueda said provocatively.

"Ah!"

Songzhi Luming sneered and said with some disdain: "My requirements are very high. If you can satisfy me, let alone doing housework for a day, I can even be your maid for a day!"

"Hey, there's a surprise!"

"Stop wishful thinking!"

"Let me confirm first. You are not saying one thing and thinking another, or lying?"

"I, Songzhi Luming, never lie!"

"I feel relieved when you say that." Kiyoaki Matsueda smiled happily.

He has tasted Masako's maid before, but he wonders what it's like to have a maid like Koshiro. He's looking forward to it...

"Let's practice again!" Songzhi Qingxue said cheerfully, with a hint of excitement and anticipation, as if she really wanted to see her sister in a maid outfit. "Why, sir, do you know Latin?"

"Yes!" (Continue to read)

Kiyokatsu Matsueda tried to fit in with the emotions, but he couldn't be as natural as Kiyokatsu Matsueda in such a short time.

"You won't scold my poor child too much?" (asking with concern)
"Why did I scold them?" (Read with a puzzled look.)
"You will be gentle with them, right, sir?" Songzhi Qingxue paused for a moment, and his voice became more and more excited. "Can you promise me?"

Madame de Renal was completely bewildered by Julien's good-looking face and his large dark eyes. She was delighted that this tutor looked as shy as a young maid, and a pure and pleasant feeling touched her heart.

Songzhi Qingxue's expression and tone perfectly portrayed what a gentle woman who was overjoyed should look like.

In comparison, Songeda Qingxian is just average. There is nothing wrong with his expression, but his tone is obviously bad.

"Hey~"

Songzhi Luming shook his head tiredly.

Unable to bear it any longer, she turned around and went out to the art department next door to borrow a drawing board, paints and pens. She sat down at the front desk and prepared to draw a promotional poster using her sister and brother-in-law as models.

"Sir, please don't whip my children for the first few days, even if their studies are not good." Songzhi Qingxue came over and said to Songzhi Qingxian in a gentle, almost pleading tone. The fragrance of her hair made Songzhi Qingxian feel particularly good.

He felt his face flush slightly, sighed, and said, "Don't be afraid, ma'am, I will obey your orders."

The expression and tone of this sentence were very consistent with the script, which made a glimmer of wisdom flash in Matsueda Kiyoyuki's eyes... Matsueda Kiyoaki was not very good at dealing with this kind of intimate and gentle offensive.

"How old are you, sir?" she asked Julien.

"Soon to be nineteen."

"My eldest son is old enough to be your friend. You can reason with him... What's your name, sir?" asked Kiyoyuki Matsueda. Her tone and demeanor all made people feel the innocent and lovely charm of Madame de Renal.

"My name is Julien Sorel, ma'am. This is the first time in my life that I'm entering a rich person's home. I'm scared because I'm too poor. If I did something wrong, please forgive me, ma'am. I never had any bad intentions." Kiyoaki Matsueda said according to the lines in the script.

The reminder of [Acting Skills +1] kept passing through his sight.

Next, according to the script, Julien had a bold idea in his mind to kiss the mayor's wife's hand.

In the original novel, Julien had a fierce inner struggle before kissing, but there is no psychological analysis of Julien in the script.

Kiyoaki Matsueda briefly recalled the content of the original work, the core idea of ​​which is: If you don't kiss your wife's hand, it is a cowardly act.

"You are going to do this to my child..." said Kiyoyuki Matsueda.

"Madam, I will never hit your child. I swear before God." Matsueda Kiyoaki said, grabbing Matsueda Kiyoyuki's hand, pulling it to his lips and kissing it.

Her hands were white and tender, and her skin was cold.

Like a piece of frozen tofu.

Songzhi Qingxue was surprised.

In the script, Madame de Renal was surprised and felt offended.

What surprised her was that Kiyoaki Matsueda's acting skills had improved rapidly and he had already begun to get into the role.

In front of the activity room, Songzhi Luming, who was watching this scene, frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and quickly wiped the back of his hand - the back of his hand felt sticky, as if he had been kissed.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door. It turned out that the mayor came out.

The student who played the mayor had a few words with Kiyoaki Matsueda. Kiyoaki Matsueda stepped aside, looked around boredly, and saw that the deer was preparing to draw.

She grabbed her hair with her tender little white hands, flipping it flexibly through her black hair a few times, then picked up a paintbrush and inserted it into her hair.

The movements are smooth and coherent, full of beauty.

The originally messy hair was turned into an elegant bun.

The snow-white neck is exposed to the air and bathed in the sunset, looking very attractive.

"Have you seen enough?" came a cold voice.

Songzhi Luming looked at him unhappily, as if he was looking at a stink bug.

"I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing you in a maid outfit..."

"You can tell me only when you satisfy me!"

"It's your turn~" Songeda Qingxue shouted.

"I'm here." Matsueda Kiyoaki walked over quickly. He had a photographic memory and no longer needed a script. When he came to Matsueda Kiyoyuki, he spoke directly: "Ah, madam, have you encountered any misfortune?"

Madame de Renal couldn't help crying when she saw how poor Julien's family was.

Seeing this, Julien sniffed and said sheepishly: "No, my friend, let's go for a walk..."

For the first time, she called Julien "my friend" and took his arm, her cheeks flushed, shy and sweet... At the end of the walk, she said to Julien: "Under your teaching, my child has made great progress... To express my gratitude, I want to give you some money. But..."

The lady's face turned even redder.

"But what, madame?" asked Julien.

【Ding】

[Acting skill lv1/100]

[Acting lv1→Acting lv2]

"You don't need to tell my husband," the lady said, lowering her head in shame.

"I am of humble origin, madam, but I am not lowly!" said Kiyoaki Matsueda, straightening his body.

All of a sudden, the voice of the poor young teacher echoed passionately.

That scene filled with the charm of a handsome man captivated many young girls, but it also made Matsueda Luming's heart skip a beat - Oh no, I'm not really going to wear a maid outfit, am I?
As the cultural festival gets closer, the autumn typhoon will soon make landfall.

The week has come to Friday in a flash.

In the previous four days, two and a half hours of rehearsal every day had allowed Kiyokasaki Matsueda to improve his acting skills to level 3.

With acting skills at the level of a professional actor, it's no mistake for her to act in a drama. Although Xiaolu is still stubborn and says she is not satisfied, it doesn't matter. There are still three days to rehearse. Once she has achieved level 4 acting skills, we'll see what she has to say.

As for those opponents who wanted to see the joke, they disappeared without a trace and never even stepped into the rehearsal room.

On Friday, the sky in Tokyo was very gloomy and the wind speed gradually increased.

According to the weather forecast, the typhoon will make landfall in the early morning of tomorrow.

It was almost time to go home from school, and Kiyoaki Matsueda and Kiyoyuki Matsueda came to the activity room as usual to prepare for rehearsal.

As a result, after a while, he received the news that the school asked students to go home. Matsueda Luming had no choice but to let other members go home first and stay in school to continue rehearsing.

According to the plan, today was the rehearsal for her as the second female lead and the first male lead.

"You guys get ready first, I'm going to the bathroom." Songzhi Luming said and walked out of the activity room.

There were only two people left in the activity room.

The sky outside the window was dark, strong winds were beating against the windows, and raindrops as big as beans were falling down.

Looking out the window, it was windy and rainy outside, and it felt like the storm was about to swallow up the entire Tokyo.

"We have nothing to do anyway, why don't we rehearse the scene for the night party." Songzhi Qingxue hooked her finger at Songzhi Qingxian.

Kiyoaki Matsueda walked towards her.

According to the script, at this point he opened his wife's door in the middle of the night.

"Mad man!" Songzhi Qingxue was upset.

"Madam..." Matsueda Kiyaki knelt at her feet and hugged her knees.

Matsueda Kiyoyuki's expression was extremely stern, showing the determination of a woman to defend her chastity, but she was defeated by the poor young teacher.

"Sir, I'm too old. I'm ten years older than you..."

"Madam~"

"Alas! I am ten years older than you! How could you love me?"

"Madam~"

The lady pushed him away angrily, then threw herself into his arms at his passionate call, caressing her young lover with all her tenderness.

Kiyoaki Matsueda held the woman in his arms, enjoying her embrace.

There was a storm outside, but the lights were on inside, making it like a small isolated island, very warm and romantic.

"Oh, my God," Matsueda Kiyoyuki said excitedly, "If my husband hears that sound, I'm doomed."

Under the light, her face was flushed, her expression mixed with sweet happiness and a hint of fear and self-blame. The light illuminated her demure eyebrows and long eyelashes, casting the shadow of the trembling eyelashes on her cheeks.

"Do you have any regrets about your life?" asked Kiyoaki Matsueda.

"Oh! How wonderful this moment is! I will never regret meeting you." Matsueda Kiyoyuki said, with a sweet and moist tone, which was consistent with the plot in the play where she had just been moisturized by her lover.

Kiyoaki Matsueda lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms.

A tender gaze and lips with shining lip gloss.

The beauty of her eyes is rare in the world, like two springs, with fateful eyes that always flow out.

Faced with such a pair of bright eyes, Songzhi Qingxian felt a little hot.

His arms felt Songzhi Qingxue's soft body, her body temperature and her breath, and he suddenly understood why some actors fall in love during a play.

Songzhi Qingxue stood on tiptoe slightly and brushed her lips against his cheek.

"What are you doing?" Matsueda Kiyoaki's body suddenly stiffened.

"This is a fake kiss, using the angle difference to give the audience the feeling of a real kiss." Songzhi Qingxue stood on tiptoe in his arms, and her warm breath blew on his earlobe. "This is not in the script, but I think it would be better if it existed."

"..."

Kiyoaki Matsueda felt his ears tingling.

The breath of the pine branches and snow was like ants biting his ears.

And her body was so warm and soft, as comfortable as hugging a piece of freshly baked rice cake.

"Hmm~ Why don't you react? Don't you think it's exciting enough..." Songzhi Qingxue put her cheek against his and smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, "If you want to kiss me for real, I don't mind."

"Do you think I believe it?" Matsueda Kiyoaki asked back.

"Of course you have to believe it. I'm not as dishonest as you~"

"You got it wrong. You are the most cunning in the entire Matsueda family..." Matsueda Kiyoaki hugged her waist, reluctant to let go.

At this moment, the door moved slightly.

The two of them turned their heads to look over, only to see Songzhi Luming standing blankly at the door.

what happened?

This doesn’t seem to be in the script?
How come they kissed each other while going to the toilet?

Could it be that the fake play became real?

At this moment, many possibilities flashed through my sister's mind.

From her angle, her sister and Kiyoaki Matsueda were hugging and kissing each other, so she was stunned, with a look of confusion. She gently touched her lips with her right index finger and felt numb and warm, as if she was also kissed.

"..."

The scene was somewhat stagnant for a moment.

Under the illumination of the emergency exit light above the door, my sister's face seemed to turn a little green.

"Why are you still here?" The club counselor passed by the corridor and came over when he saw some people here. "Other clubs have finished work early, so you should also go home quickly. Go back before the typhoon comes."

Songzhi Luming turned around instantly and ran away.

However, he was too anxious and lost his balance, and fell down with a thud.

She didn't care about the pain, she stood up and continued to run forward.
This frightened the sister so much that she quickly let go of Songeda Qingxian.

"Little deer, wait!"

The campus was already dark at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The wind was howling and the rain was hitting the teaching building, pouring down like a waterfall.

These horrible sounds echoed in the dim campus, rising and falling like the roar of waves.

Songzhi Luming's mind is very, very confused.

He ran out of the club building and plunged into the wind and rain.

I ran towards the school gate against the wind with all my might. The heavy rain hit my body mercilessly, and my school uniform was completely wet in the blink of an eye.

——What are you doing!

——Why would they kiss each other?
——Didn’t we agree on a contract? Didn’t we agree to just act? Why did you just kiss me?

The howling wind almost knocked the girl over. She quickly hid behind a house, wiping the rain and cold sweat from her face with her small hands, but she was still in a state of confusion.

——My brother-in-law is so annoying.

The howling wind drowned out all other sounds, and the rain made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The wet clothes took away my body temperature and my vision became blurry.

In the heavy rain, all her thoughts were disrupted. The accumulated water continued to flow to the ground, washing away a bunch of things.

She was the only one left in the storm.

"Little fool, what are you doing..." Her sister's laughter appeared like sunshine, pulling her back from the wind and rain.

When Kiyoaki Matsueda walked downstairs, he saw the two sisters talking in the back of a corridor where they were sheltered from wind and rain. The younger sister seemed a little agitated and was loudly questioning her older sister.

"Sister, how could you do this..."

"You, you want to..."

"I wouldn't say anything at home, but this is school. If someone sees this, how am I going to explain it..."

"Eh?" Songzhi Qingxue was a little confused. "Isn't it normal for Qing and I to kiss? What do you need to explain?"

"..."

The pine branches and deer were speechless.

She couldn't say that in her eyes, her sister was her, so Matsueda Kiyoaki also kissed her...

The girl blushed and kicked the wall hard: "Anyway, Matsueda Kiyoaki is a pervert!"
