Chapter 34: Life Is A Stage!
| Before class ~ High School Theater backstage room~
Mika reflected to himself, 'Hmrmr... Now then. How should I play`eth out the part in this script? *Coughs throat* Before I start, I'd better do`est my morning warmups.'
He repeats, ''A - E - I--O----🎵U🎵 A-E--I-O-U. *Clearing swallow* A~E~I~O----AAAh! (((Feminine like shout!!!)))''
''*Ehehe-Eheh--Ehrrr!* You shout like, like... ~a human girl.'' Eri cluelessly belittled him.
After a heavy breath, Mika said, ''It is you... Wait, wait, waittt... Please refresh my memory on thyself again. Haven't we met not too long`eth ago?''
▪️ ▪️ ▪️
Merrily, Eri replied, ''We haveee. The other day, You and Eri walked right into Each-other. Ring any bells?''
Sparklely, Mika said with a welcoming hand, ''Indubitably, it does. It does... Time is short though for me, so why is it that thou`est Eri, is here?''
''*Ehr-ehe* Welll~'' Eri Chortled, before she explained.
| After that, Eri got Mika to agree, agree to learn more about who he is. -Later in that same day.
| Lunchtime ~ Stairs...
Contently, Eri said, ''Eri thanks you for joining her to have some lunch. Please say, what is it you have in your box there?''
Surprised, Mika answered, ''Thou art engaged about what thy meal is? Hrm, take note. This is but a bare rice ball, with soy and -a dash_ of pepper. *Bites overdramatically*''
Blankly, Eri asked, ''Whaaa..... ''
With silence, Mika stated, ''A plain soy-stuffed rice ball, is but one of thy cherished meals, that thou dines on with regularity. -Utter regularity.''
Puzzled, Eri replied, ''Eri is lost..... Could you resay all that?''
''*Sigh* ...a tragedy..... '' Mika stated, feeling sullen.
| After lunch ~ While cleaning up~
Queryingly, Eri asked, ''So, ueh.. You're a drama club actor right? What kind of act are you all going to do? *Pencil tap x2*''
Charmed, Mika said, ''Mhrm-hrm! How forward of thou, my dear lady. Let me merely reach`eth inside my bag, and retrieve it.''
((Pages ruffle))
Mika said, ''Here. Our next play.''
: Script title 'Shinsengumi Tales'
As Eri saw its contents, '*Reading sounds*'
🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹
Gleeful, Eri expressed, ''It sounds_ Sounds so_ _ Eri thinks it sounds superb! Becauseee.. she enjoys those stories, Shinsen`gumi is one of those teensy big words that Eri can really say~! ''
After a forced double-cough, Mika said, ''Duly noted. Inn.. any respect. The word is Shinsengumi.''
Eri replied, ''Yeah... That is what Eri said. Shinsen`gumi.''
Bothered, Mika rebutted, ''No, noo. Thou art stressing the word, where there should not be any breaks. -Shinsengumi.-*Recites fast and clearly*''
Confused, Eri repeated, ''Shinsengum`i.''
Mika humbly tears up, ''*Sniffs*''
