My second life is a bit strange?

"Fujiwara-kun, why don't you act out the princess's monologue?" Kaguya suddenly said.

"Hey hey hey??? Why can't I act with Ah Feng?"

Looking at the script that was shoved into her hands, Fujiwara pouted, a little unhappy.

"Let the squad leader take a rest."

“Okay.” Chika flipped through the script, then suddenly had a wicked idea and grinned wickedly.

"Kukuku~ Run, where can you run to?" Fujiwara Chika's actions and expressions were spot-on, directly pinning Kaede against the podium.

"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out." Fujiwara Chika's smile grew increasingly wicked: "I'm going to make you my servant, kukuku~"

As Chika was acting, she realized something was wrong. Had she picked up the wrong script?

"Wow~ Fujiwara-kun, you acted so well. The role of the Great Demon King is practically tailor-made for you."

The students in the audience were overjoyed, and laughter filled the air.

"The role of the Great Demon King is entrusted to you, Fujiwara-kun."

Xiao Jin joined in the teasing: "Fujiwara the Great Demon King!"

"..." Hearing the applause from her classmates, Fujiwara Chika's eyes became glazed: "Why did it turn out like this? I wanted to play a princess."

When it was Eriri's turn, many childhood friends excitedly clasped their hands together, this was exactly the scene they wanted to see!

Eriri, however, seemed a little nervous and stammered as she spoke. When Kaede knelt down on one knee, she just stood there in a daze. A gust of wind blew in and lifted the curtains.

A blush crept up her face to her ears, and she pictured them in their wedding dresses on a grassland.

"Eiriri?"

"I am willing."

Feng looked at the other person with a puzzled expression: "Willing to what?"

Eriri's face was covered in sweat, making her skin look like blood. "It's nothing, you misheard!" she said, then pushed through the crowd and ran away.

The girls' eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.

Ah~ this is the true innocence of youth!

Two more students from different classes took on the role, but neither met expectations. Finally, it was Kaguya's turn.

They were going to act out a scene where the prince grew wings and rescued the princess from the evil sorcerer.

Kaguya's body was very light, and Kaede easily lifted her up by the waist. The classmates immediately started to cheer, and Sumire shyly covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers.

[We were just going over the lines, they didn't say the actions had to be perfect too!]

Kaguya wrapped her arms around Kaede's neck, feeling incredibly shy, her palms sweaty: "How did you get in?"

"Love gave me wings, and stone walls cannot stop love. For you, I dare to try anything."

"I love you, take me away, fly far away, to a world where there are no more shackles."

"Ahhh!" A girl in the audience screamed, clutching her heart. The flashes from the cameras were so bright that Feng could barely open his eyes.

"You acted so well, I'm entrusting the role of the princess to you."

Xiao Jin found suitable candidates for the remaining supporting roles.

"Alright, there's one more program left. Any objections?"

The students looked at each other and exclaimed, "We want to hear our class monitor play the piano!"

"I heard that the class monitor has won many awards."

"Class monitor, you can do the last project. I want to hear you play the piano!"

"That's a good idea."

As Feng watched everyone's enthusiastic discussion, he muttered to himself, "Looks like the cultural festival will be very tiring."

.........

With the cultural festival drawing ever closer, each class has begun preparing decorations, and students are showing off their talents, using their family connections to bring in all sorts of supplies.

They offer everything from high-polymer paint spraying and 3D projection to custom-made clothing.

"Thank you for your hard work, students." The shop owner walked in carrying two bags filled with balloons of various colors.

"Not miserable."

"Teacher, everyone's thinking of going out for dinner tonight, would you like to come?"

"I won't participate in your young people's gathering; I have to rush home to take care of my child." The old man adjusted his glasses and smiled happily.

Everyone knows he has a virtuous and beautiful wife and a five-year-old child.

"The homeroom teacher has started feeding us dog food again~"

"I'm so envious."

"Haha, you guys go home early and be careful."

"Good~"

Chapter Thirty-One: A Sensitive Heart

"Ta-da~ The little bear balloon is finished~" Fujiwara Chika made a little bear out of balloons as if by magic.

"Oh, I didn't realize Fujiwara-san was so skilled."

Feng's praise pleased her greatly, and she held her head high with pride.

"Squad leader, it's our turn to use the venue. We can go rehearse now."

Feng: "Are the costumes for the exercise all ready?"

"Okay." Mina, who was in charge of the props, gave an OK sign.

"Okay, everyone, please change your clothes and gather in the auditorium."

Because the script was fairy tale-like and the costumes had a cartoonish feel, it attracted a lot of attention along the way. The students in charge of the venue worked quickly and finished setting up in no time.

Feng picked up a pine cone from the ground. The pine nuts had all been eaten, leaving only the shell.

"I found this on the hill behind the school. I thought it would be great as a prop." Eriri's pen tip was covered in paint, making her look like a little kitten.

She didn't act in the play; instead, she was in charge of the class's specialized design.

"I found a nice place in the back mountains. Shall we go check it out after school?" Eriri asked softly, her eyes darting around, her hands behind her back.

"Okay."

"I'll wait for you at the gate after school." Eriri took a few steps, then turned back, blushing, and said, "Good luck with rehearsals!"

Feng watched her leave with a smile. Another classmate who was also in the cast ran over and said, "Class monitor, can we go over the lines together?"

"Of course~."

Just as they were rehearsing their lines, Fujiwara Chika came over, wearing comical clothes that immediately made everyone laugh.

Fujiwara Chika blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and shifted her shoulders: "I always feel that the clothes are a bit small, and I feel like I can't stretch out comfortably."

"The size of the clothes was made according to your instructions, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Fujiwara Chika assumed it was because the clothes hadn't fully opened up yet and didn't pay much attention: "Kukuku, you mere humans, kneel down at my feet."

"Hahaha!"

Chika's expression was very exaggerated, and her tone was also very strange. Kaede was holding her stomach and laughing so hard that tears were about to flow.

Seeing that everyone was amused by her, Chika laughed along. Perhaps the movement was too exaggerated, because with a crack, her back split open.

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed even louder, and Qianhua's face turned even redder. She stood there helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Kaguya stepped forward to check the tear in the clothes. The tear wasn't too big and could be repaired. She wasn't worried about being exposed since she was wearing clothes underneath. "Take your clothes off, and I'll fix them for you."

"Thank you." Fujiwara Chika's voice wasn't as energetic as before. She started taking off her clothes, but the zipper she was trying to put on got stuck on her inner garment.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it down, and she was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead.

"Don't worry," Kaguya comforted her, helping her separate the clothes inside.

The onlookers laughed even louder, and the students quickly dispersed the crowd and closed the auditorium doors.

Fujiwara Chika tugged at Kaede's clothes. She felt a burning pain on her face and wanted to escape: "Come with me to the toilet."

"Okay." Feng walked ahead, and Qianhua followed behind, clutching his clothes. She thought many people would laugh at her, but when she went outside, she found that the people who had been gathered outside had already left, and Qianhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng patted her head: "Everyone will just laugh it off and it will all be over. Nobody will remember it."

"Well.."

As Fujiwara Chika recalled the embarrassing scene from just now, her scalp tingled, and she muttered to herself, "How embarrassing!"

"I'll wait for you here. Go ahead." Feng leaned against the corridor, gazing out the window.

As I approached the restroom, I heard a sharp laugh coming from inside: "Hahaha, that's hilarious, you're so clumsy."

"I remember she originally wanted to play a princess, and this is what she looks like? She's just a comedic actress, she's so ridiculous."

"Alright, you two, stop laughing."

Fujiwara Chika could no longer hold back. She lowered her head, her bangs covering her face, and every now and then a couple of crystal drops fell to the floor, shattering into pieces.

"Squad leader, come here for a moment."

The homeroom teacher, who was passing by, called him over and spoke to him about some matters, unaware that the girl in pink had already run away.

Feng returned to his previous spot and waited for a while, but Qianhua didn't come out. He quickly asked the cleaning lady who was cleaning.

Is anyone still inside?

"Nothing."

"Okay, thank you." Feng texted Fujiwara Chika on his phone, but there was no response when he called.

He ran to the classroom again: "Have you seen Fujiwara?"

"No."
