Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

After all, the pressure was immense. The original cast for Momotaro's three companions was a smart dog, a teacher with exceptional athletic abilities, and a comedic genius, Sunohara; a trio of stars.

Now let him improvise to make up for the lack of a juggling performance!

"Chirp chirp chirp!" A mischievous little monkey, scratching its ears and cheeks, hopped and jumped onto the stage.

A little monkey appeared before Momotaro and the dog, looking quite hungry. Momotaro handed the monkey some bread and invited it to be his friend.

The little monkey sniffed the bread, took a bite, and then showed a look of disgust. That expression perfectly reproduced Qin Jing's previous disdain for Jiazi, completely unpretentious and incredibly real.

The little monkey seemed very dissatisfied with the bread and refused to go with Momotaro. It even blocked Momotaro's path.

The little monkey, dog, and Momotaro played a game of tag, chasing each other like an eagle catching a hen. No matter how Momotaro moved, the monkey would either nudge its bottom, dance strange steps, or grab the dog's tail and not let go. It always found a way to stop Momotaro.

The little monkey patted its bottom and stuck out its tongue at Momotaro, and Qin Jing's exaggerated expression made the old men and women laugh.

"Haha, this little monkey is so cute."

"I really want to take it home and raise it."

Having been stopped, Momotaro had no choice but to say:

"I really can't do anything with you! Well then, I'll give you my treasured glutinous rice balls."

The monkey took the glutinous rice ball, tasted it, and imitated the monkey teacher's expression of delight when eating a top-quality banana. Finally, it smiled happily and clapped its hands in satisfaction.

So the monkey joined Momotaro's group.

The monkey also got on the dog's back and continued moving forward.

"Hahaha, see? This is the victory of traditional sweets over bread. Traditional sweets are just better than imported goods!" Bai Beichuan, the owner of a Japanese-style sweet shop, laughed loudly as he looked at his rival.

"What nonsense are you spouting! You're the one who gave the kindergarten the sponsorship fee! That's why you came to my house to buy bread!" the bakery owner said unhappily.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Hahaha." Boss Bai Beichuan turned his head away, but he was overjoyed inside. Being able to defeat his mortal enemy in such a situation made the sponsorship fee worthwhile.

Next, the pheasant made its appearance. Sunohara wore winged gloves on both hands and a pointed beak on his mouth. All he had to do was flap his wings and imitate a few pheasant calls.

Looking around, 'Young Master Sunohara has arrived! Where's the talent scout?'

Just in case, Qin Jing had the adults design the chicken's beak to block its mouth from speaking. However, Chun Yuan felt that it was precisely in this situation that he should showcase his abilities in order to be spotted by a talent scout, enter the entertainment industry, and become a popular star.

"Giggle! Giggles!" Unable to speak, Sunohara deviated from the expected pattern, flapping his wings and running around the stage, solely focused on showing off.

'It's good to be optimistic and hardworking, but unfortunately he's working in the wrong direction.' Qin Jing jumped in front of him helplessly, pinched his ear, and pulled him back.

The audience watched as the pheasant was grabbed by the ears by a monkey, and finally lifted up by the collar by a dog and carried forward. Its clumsy appearance caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

And so, the pheasant became a companion.

Momotaro and his group arrived at the seaside, but were unable to cross the sea. At this moment, a boatman wearing a hat to cover his face appeared, and with the boatman's help, they arrived at Oni Island.

As soon as Momotaro stepped off the ship, he was surrounded by monsters dressed in animal skins.

The boatman took off his hat and threw it into the air, revealing the two black horns of the demon. It turned out that she was the demon that Momotaro and his men wanted to defeat. She smiled sinisterly: "I've heard that someone wants to defeat us. Foolish humans, we've been waiting here for a long time!"

Sakura, who played the ghost, perfectly portrayed the sinister nature of the villain. Qin Jing never expected that the gentle and virtuous Sakura would have such great acting talent in this area.

The Momotaros, surrounded by enemies, were in grave danger when Kintaro and his panda companion appeared.

Momotaro, Kintaro, and their animal companions finally defeated the demon and his henchmen.

However, Kintaro wanted to take the demon away, and Momotaro naturally refused to let him go, so the two engaged in a duel.

The boy wearing a golden wig is locked in a fierce battle with Momotaro, while a panda doll with a cute little girl's face peeking out from its chest is chasing monkeys, pheasants, and dogs around wildly.

The character Kintaro, who fights Emma Miyazawa, is played by Hanako. This fight was also professionally designed and looks very professional.

The audience members below the stage quieted down and watched intently.

"As expected of Teacher Hong, the action scenes are like watching a kung fu movie," Principal Gao praised.

"Haha, you flatter me," said Teacher Hong, who often also served as the gatekeeper, with a smile.

On stage, Kintaro says, "I'm here to take this runaway ghost back to the mountain. His mother is looking for him everywhere."

Momotaro said, "This demon has kidnapped the princess. He must release the princess before he can go home."

"I don't want to go back! I've done so many bad things, Mom will definitely beat me to death!" The ghost tried to break free and escape.

"No mother in the world doesn't love her own son, not even a ghost. Go back and apologize properly, and start anew as a ghost!" Kintaro said, grabbing the ghost.

The captured ghost cried, "Waaah, I didn't kidnap that willful princess! It's all the humans who are clinging to me. That princess also ran away from home, and I've been supporting her lately! She's in the house up here. You can go ask her if you don't believe me."

Momotaro went into the house and, as expected, saw the princess.

"Are you the hero who rescued me from the clutches of the demon? Can you take me to some fun places?" Princess Rin, dressed in a dress, asked expectantly, clasping her hands together.

"No! Princess, please go home quickly." Momotaro refused the princess's request.

"Hmph, how boring! Ghosts are really useless! But I don't want to go home," the princess said stubbornly.

“Princess, I heard from the officials in the village that the island lord and king have already sent people back the beautiful clothes you wanted, which are only available in the Tang Dynasty.”

"I don't want it to be that!"

“I heard that you’ve been away from home for a long time, and when you see the white clouds in the distance, you think of your home below. Parents miss their children when they see their clothes when they’re away. Your family must be very worried, Princess. The King is waiting for you at home right now.”

"Really? Then please take me home, Momotaro!" The princess pulled Momotaro out of the house.

So Momotaro said goodbye to Kintaro and took the princess home. The king, who had been waiting for the princess, ran over, and the princess ran up to him. Father and daughter embraced tightly.

"I'm sorry, my princess is finally back. I've bought you the gift you wanted."

"No need! I'm sorry, Dad, I just want you to come home and spend more time with me."

"Princess!"

"father!"

"Momotaro, would you like to stay at my house? You can live in a big house here, and you'll have plenty of delicious food and fun activities!" To express his gratitude, the king invited Momotaro to stay.

"No! Your Majesty, my grandparents are waiting for me at home. There is nothing more precious than being reunited with them."

Upon hearing Momotaro's words, the king stopped trying to persuade him and ordered someone to deliver a reward for saving the princess, allowing him to go home.

So Momotaro carried his gold and silver treasures, along with his monkey and pheasant, and rode his dog home, where he lived happily ever after with his grandpa and grandma.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

【over.】

As the curtain fell and rose again, all the children lined up and bowed to the elderly people below the stage, shouting, "Happy Holidays, Grandpa and Grandma!"

The elderly men and women smiled with emotion and clapped their hands.

At that moment, Qin's father, who was frantically pressing the camera and didn't even realize his palms were sweating, was called to a stop.

"Mr. Qin, could you please make a copy of the photos you took? Actually, I've been working on this recently."

The person speaking was an acquaintance who lived nearby and handed Qin's father a business card—a broker from Inari 428 Agency, affiliated with the Penglai Group.

"Oh, long time no see. You're not working at Fox TV anymore? You've become an agent? Penglai Group, that's a remarkable multinational corporation. Are you a talent scout?" Qin's father looked at the business card and asked in surprise.

"Yes, the company is changing its development strategy, so I've also changed jobs and am now looking for promising talents everywhere," the agent said.

"Which show's contestants have you taken a liking to?" Qin's father asked, opening the camera's photo album.

“Yes…” The agent flipped through the photos, looking at the performers in each show.

................

The performance continued after that, and the kindergarten children returned to their families after changing out of their clothes.

"Nini's portrayal of the little monkey is so funny," Xiao Kui said with a smile.

"Haha..." Qin Jing chuckled dryly. Sure enough, she couldn't escape this evaluation in the end. But it was really good that she wasn't treated as a weird character.

After chatting with his acquaintances, Qin's father came over and said with a big smile, "Alright! As a reward tonight, Dad will treat you to all the snacks here. You can eat whatever you want!"

"That's awesome!!" Qin Jing and Xiao Kui cheered, raising their hands.

"Xiao Kui wants to eat that one that looks like a cloud!"

"That's cotton candy! Okay, let's all go!"

That evening, Qin Jing and Xiao Kui tried all the food from the vendors at the market. Their hastily prepared fried noodles were a bit undercooked and nowhere near as good as their mother's. However, the takoyaki and marshmallows received high praise from both of them.

From that day on, Qin Jing felt immense respect for Jiazi's fiancé, Akutsu Akira. She had always suspected he might have been caught doing something wrong, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. In the near future, Jing would truly see them get married and start a family.

At the same time, Jing developed a sense of doubt and inexplicable fear about dating and marriage.

She is different from ordinary people in many ways. Just as the perceptive Emma Miyazawa felt, she is not only herself, but also a combination of countless reincarnations and countless chaotic desires from past lives. She is an abnormal being.

Or perhaps one day, if certain memories resurface, or if one grows tired of reading, then one day, tranquility will no longer be the tranquility it is now.

Once other children realize his true colors, will they also start to dislike him?

Including Mr. and Mrs. Qin, and Xiao Kui...

This mindset prevents him from fully opening up to others, and to this day, his only close friend is his dog.

If no one liked her the way Mr. Akutsu liked Mr. Monkey, Shizuka felt she couldn't possibly feel at ease liking him. Perhaps her abnormal nature meant she could never experience normal love, but if abnormal love meant like Yoshiko's, then perhaps it was better to have none at all.

Perhaps he will live out his life alone. Although it is lonely, he can get by as long as he has books to read.

But isn't the fear of being disliked proof that she wants to be liked? Perhaps Jing can no longer find satisfaction in reading alone, and can no longer be indifferent to everything except reading.

What can comfort me is perhaps the very fact that I have troubles; it is proof that I am human. It's okay, I will get through it someday.

Life is full of contradictions. If you don't develop feelings, you won't get hurt; those who can hurt you are often the ones closest to you. But people can't live alone. People who are easy to get along with at first become difficult to get along with after you get close to them.

Qin Jing has found new enjoyment in group creation, but at the same time, she will also face the negative aspects that come with this enjoyment.

Maintaining the appropriate distance will ensure everything proceeds smoothly.

Be wise. When seeking warmth, remember to keep a proper distance from the fire. Don't get too close, lest you get burned and then plunge into the cold, lonely world complaining about the fire's heat. Yes, to avoid being harmed, you must remember to maintain a proper distance.

After all the performances concluded, the judging officially began.

In the end, the kindergarten's performance unexpectedly received unanimous praise. It wasn't the third prize reading card that Shizuka wanted, nor the encouragement prize banana that Yoshiko wanted, but it actually won first prize.

The principal was delighted all evening. He planned to bring the 4K screen back to the school and specially set aside a space as a screening room. Of course, the children weren't unhappy either, as every child had a great time that night and received a reward from their parents.

Unbeknownst to anyone, that very night, in the pitch-black tent, a small figure, seemingly a girl, was rummaging through a box containing costumes. She pulled out two items, held them to her face with both hands, her nose twitching, and took a deep, ecstatic breath…

Section 23.23 The Impact After the Performance

The next morning, the teachers went to the school's storage room to organize the props and costumes that they had left in the car the night before.

Last night, after watching the performance, the children and the elderly went home to rest around 8 p.m., but the young people who stayed behind continued to party and the festivities remained as lively as ever, turning the festival into a celebratory banquet.

After most of the customers had left, the food vendors also joined in, bringing with them leftover ingredients to make takoyaki, kebabs, grilled fish, fried noodles, and other snacks.

Because the performance was so popular, the school received unanimous praise from parents. What was originally an activity to promote children's growth unexpectedly yielded prizes and excellent publicity – a triple win!

Principal Gao immediately decided to continue this activity as a school tradition.

So the kindergarten teachers are only arriving at school now to take inventory and record the data for later use.

"That's strange. Where did the little monkey's earmuffs and tail go?" the teacher asked curiously as she adjusted the clothes.

"Could it have gotten mixed up with the other boxes?" another teacher nearby asked with a laugh.

"No, I clearly remember putting it here. After all, it's an important character's costume, and Qin Jing handed it to me very politely, so I remember it very well."

"Yes, the children were so adorable last night, especially the naughty dog ​​and the little monkey. Many of the children said they wanted to take them home as pets."

"Could it have been accidentally dropped somewhere during the move?"

"Well, we can do it later if needed, let's hurry up and count it."

"That's true."

Meanwhile, in the office,

"Ms. Jiazi, why did you go home early last night? I heard your fiancé took you away?" A teacher who likes to gossip came over and asked.

"I didn't expect Amin to be so proactive last night. He actually carried me home... Ah~!" Jiazi covered her face shyly, twisting her body back and forth.

"Oh, it's so warm!"

"Young people are so different! When are you getting married?"

“Amin said he needs to prioritize his studies now and is preparing for a combined master’s and doctoral program! But he’ll have to graduate sooner or later.” Jiazi was full of hope for the future.

"..." Qin Jing, who was passing by, remained silent. Why is the truth always so cruel?
