"If the movements are difficult to practice, try looking at your eyes first."
Kitagawa Ryo stood up and carried Hotaru to Horikita Suzune.
"I heard that many two-dimensional painters will refer to cats when painting, highlighting the eyes and narrowing the nose and mouth in the facial features."
Hotaru's colored pupils complemented her purple ones, and Horikita Suzune looked into Hotaru's eyes.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she even felt like she saw a human smile.
Horikita Suzune continued to practice thoughtfully for half an hour after that, until she could barely adapt to the way of moving on all fours, she happily called Kitagawa Ryo over.
"When I was reading the original work just now, I suddenly discovered a problem."
But Kitagawa Ryo smiled awkwardly but politely at Horikita Suzune:
"The heroine of "Cats" is an old cat who has returned to the tribe from the outside, so there are basically no passages in the whole play that require her to be on all fours."
"..."
Feeling the change in the atmosphere, Hotaru bristled and swished from Kitagawa Ryo's shoulder to the bookshelf on the other side.
"cold."
Horikita Suzune's smile was as dangerous as a wild cat:
"Which one do you prefer, pain and regret at the same time, or despair and regret at the same time?"
----------------------------------------
As a musical, the story structure of "Cats" is actually not complicated. It mainly tells the story of a cat tribe named Jellick, who holds an annual dance every year, and every cat can participate in the dance. Show yourself to your heart's content, and finally the highly respected leader cat in the clan will choose a cat to ascend to heaven.
Grizbella was a charming cat in the past but left the tribe. She tried to return to the tribe after she aged, but was not accepted by the tribe. Finally, she sang a song called "Memories" But he was recognized by his tribe and was selected to enter heaven.
Because it was originally adapted from a poem written for children, the whole play itself also has a child-oriented fairy tale color, and the ending is also a common happy ending.
"So that's probably it. The drama department's final review a few days ago mainly focused on selecting personnel based on this script."
Kitagawa Ryo and Ichinose Honami were walking on the tree-lined path of the school. They took advantage of their lunch break to chat casually about recent events.
"So that Horikita-san finally passed the final review, right?"
"Well, as a specially recruited actor for this script, her performance in the final review was passable."
Kitagawa Ryo took a bite of the pineapple bun in his hand. He didn't really like the double carbohydrate combination of fried noodles and bread. Occasionally, he would usually choose this sweet bread when eating fast food from convenience stores.
"She has a pretty good voice."
Ichinose Honami tilted her head in confusion, and she asked curiously:
"Is there any difference between this musical and the plays Ryo performed before?"
"Probably because musicals require more singing."
After giving a rather crude explanation, Kitagawa Ryo then added:
"Especially 'Cats', which is basically composed of dozens of pieces of music and dance."
"Speaking of which, I haven't heard Fanbo sing."
"Because I don't usually go to karaoke bars with my friends, so I actually don't know how I sing."
"Then let's go together after school today."
"The two of us?"
"certainly."
"Then there's no problem."
Ichinose Honami clapped her hands happily. She enjoyed being alone with Kitagawa Ryo more than karaoke.
As long as it's something two people do together, whether it's singing or anything else, it's something worth looking forward to.
Because this is the process of building memories between two people.
----------------------------------------
"Memory?"
Honami Ichinose looked at the next song on the karaoke table and turned around and asked:
"Is it the famous song in "Cats" that Liang mentioned?"
"Well, Fanbo can try it too. The lyrics are not difficult. Can you sing along?"
Kitagawa Ryo patted the microphone in his hand. The karaoke box was flashing with colorful lights, and junk food represented by French fries was placed on the table. Amidst the strange colors, he put the microphone to his mouth.
[Memory,Turn your face to the moonlight
Memories, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you.Open up enter in
Let the memories lead you, open up, and get in there
If you find there The meaning of what happiness is
If you find the meaning of happiness there
Then a new life will begin
Then, a happy life is about to begin]
This was the first time Ichinose Honami heard Kitagawa Ryo singing. At first, she gently shook the maracas in her hand to accompany the music, but soon she became completely immersed in the other person's gentle voice. Ichinose Honami He simply closed his eyes and listened quietly to Kitagawa Ryo's singing.
During the interlude of the song, Kitagawa Ryo took something out of his pocket. He walked over to Ichinose Honami and gently pinned it on the girl's head.
The movement was as gentle as the caress between lovers, yet heavy as if all the memories were injected into it.
He touched the soft hair.
Honami Ichinose never wore any hair accessories.
Hair ties, hair ties, hairpins, headbands.
She is the first girl Kitagawa Ryo met in this "Life Restart Simulator".
Unlike Karuizawa Megumi and others later, Ichinose Honami is an image outlined by words. Kitagawa Ryo collected fragments about this girl bit by bit in her three simulations, and then pieced her together. A complete human form emerged and she was brought back to life with his swiping fingertips.
They are all people who overestimate their own capabilities and try to protect their entire family and loved ones by themselves.
"cold?"
Ichinose Honami opened his eyes in confusion, and then saw his own appearance on the bright and reflective wall of the private room.
The pink hairpin is engraved with a delicate divine bird spreading its wings and about to take flight, with its tail wings carrying a gradient of bright red flames.
"It's Fanbo's turn to sing."
Kitagawa Ryo showed his brightest smile to Ichinose Honami, and he gently shook the maracas in his hand.
"This is my first time singing. Don't laugh at me if I don't sing well."
Ichinose Honami stuck out his tongue.
"Absolutely not, don't worry, and maybe Fanbo is very talented in this area."
[Memory All alone in the moonlight.I can smile at the old days.
Memories, alone under the moonlight, I can face the past and smile]
Ichinose Honami's character is quite generous. Although it was his first time singing, he didn't show any stage fright.
Kitagawa Ryo smiled and looked at Ichinose Honami who was singing. Although he was singing in a noisy karaoke, infinite peace and tranquility surged from the depths of his soul.
The song "Memory" was the song that touched all the cats in the musical, and successfully helped the heroine become the only cat chosen and reach heaven.
So this is not a song of self-pity, but a song about recognizing all the suffering and still deciding to take steps toward tomorrow.
Just like the phoenix engraved on the hairpin he gave to Ichinose Honami.
"If you touch me. You'll understand what happiness is.
(If you touch me, you will understand what happiness is)"
"Look a new day has begun (Look, a new day has begun)"
The shadow of Honami Ichinose was stretched very long under the effect of the lighting. She held the microphone in both hands and sang the last line with her eyes closed. Then she slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Kitagawa Ryo.
The girl's blue eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.

Main plot: Ryo Kitagawa's strength supremacy classroom: Chapter 31: Megumi Karuizawa·Guardian
Seven-year-old Karuizawa Megumi was lying on the ground, seemingly watching the ants move attentively.
She used the branch in her hand to open up the thick fallen leaves under the tree, and then brushed off a few layers of soil on the surface. Sure enough, there was a small wallet underneath.
There should be fifty-three thousand eight hundred yen inside.
This was private money that her father had hidden in his yard. In theory, it should have been discovered by her mother who was cleaning up the yard a month later.
Karuizawa Megumi sighed and buried her wallet deeper. It probably took her more than a month to slowly accept the fact that she was reborn with memories.
After confirming the authenticity through several events in his memory, Karuizawa Megumi began to think while drawing random shapes on the ground with tree branches.
Perhaps it was because he had too many regrets in his previous life, but now Karuizawa Megumi is more excited and excited.
There are roughly two problems that need to be solved at present:
1. I will experience serious school bullying in the future, and this will create an extremely twisted character.
2. Where is Liang now?
Karuizawa Megumi was very sure that this was not the world line of her first memory, because she had never been in contact with Kitagawa Ryo until now, let alone his childhood sweetheart.
If this was the world line of the second memory, then I should be in the same junior high school as Ryogami.
But now I have just entered elementary school.
Although so far, the flapping of Karuizawa Megumi's butterfly wings doesn't seem to have changed anything, including the fact that his father's private money is still hidden here.
But she still couldn't wait to confirm and confirm Kitagawa Ryo's existence.
Megumi Karuizawa used a tree branch to write his name on the ground.
In other words, she just wanted to see him again.
Karuizawa Megumi knew which elementary school Ryo Kitagawa went to, and she even skipped the last class in the afternoon in order to go to the school in her memory.
She guarded the gate of the school in advance. Considering safety issues, Karuizawa Megumi kept close to the guard at the school gate. She looked like a little girl waiting for her brother or sister to get out of school.
But the wait never came.
Many children rushed out of the school after school. Karuizawa Megumi looked at their faces one by one, but no one was familiar to them.
In the senior class, there seem to be many boys and girls who are already twelve or thirteen years old who are already suspected of dating. Karuizawa Megumi can always see a pair of "couples" walking together with blushing faces. Under cover, they secretly held hands and walked through the short path from the teaching building to the door.
Inexplicably, Karuizawa Megumi began to wonder if Kitagawa Ryo might have dated others before she didn't know about it. After all, Ryo seemed to be the type that was very popular with girls.
She pursed her mouth, feeling that her teeth were a little sore.
After waiting for several days and the fact that he skipped class was discovered by the school and reported to his parents, Karuizawa Megumi finally stopped this unnecessary behavior.
Maybe it's not time to meet yet.
Karuizawa Megumi comforted herself in this way, as if she was deliberately diverting her attention, and she began to focus her life on problem one.
Address the school bullying you will suffer in the future.
Deliberately showing weakness to win sympathy and deliberately being strong are the opposites.
Two wrong methods that had been practiced were quickly rejected by Karuizawa Megumi.
Whether it's showing weakness or pretending to be strong, it actually comes from one's own shortcomings. If one can be like Ryo, it should be avoided.
So Karuizawa Megumi first started doing the most basic physical exercises. Her physical fitness level was evaluated as D in the future interview at Tokyo Advanced Education Middle School, although Karuizawa Megumi herself felt that this score was lower than her true situation. , but it's really not much lower.
The one with the highest physical ability in the class is Horikita Suzune, who has a B+. Karuizawa Megumi heard Kitagawa Ryo say that this is closely related to the other person's high self-discipline living habits since childhood, and is the result of accumulation.
So after getting the chance to come back, Karuizawa Megumi also began to seriously train himself again.
