I'm very sorry and hope everyone can understand.

Main plot: Kitagawa Ryo's strength supremacy classroom: Chapter 9: Everything is fate

"Um, Vice-President Ichinose, there seems to be a rule in our school that pets can't be brought in."

The student council member who was traveling with Ichinose Honami was the first to react. He turned his pen and looked at the cat lying on the table again while asking hesitantly.

"As you said, I have already submitted the application to the school before. Your student union should still be able to check the documents at that time."

Kitagawa Ryo explained while stroking the cat's soft hair.

"It does happen. It seems that your drama department said it would be used in a play. I remember it was called "Cats"."

Honami Ichinose tried hard to recall.

"Cats? Isn't that a musical?"

On the side, Suzune Horikita couldn't help but say that although she has not been exposed to this field as a widely read person, as the most popular musical at the end of the last century, the popularity of "Cats" has swept the world, and it has set box office records. It wasn't until 2006 that it was surpassed by another famous musical, and the musical that surpassed "Cats" also carved its own name in history——

"Phantom of the Opera".

"Yes, so it's an adaptation. Isn't "Cats" in the form of a musical also adapted from Eliot's long poem?"

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at Horikita Suzune, not expecting that the other person would appear in front of him at this time.

He has no connection with Horikita Suzune. He just met Horikita Manabu during his second performance two years ago and had a brief exchange with him after the performance.

However, at this time, Horikita Suzune was already a bit paranoid, and her tone and words also made people feel a little uncomfortable.

I don't know whether it is because Horikita Suzune excessively pursues a solitary lifestyle that she always has some flaws in interpersonal communication; or whether it is because of her flaws in interpersonal communication that Horikita Suzune gives up all social interaction in such an extreme way. .

Horikita Suzune noticed something strange in the way Kitagawa Ryo looked at her just now. She frowned and retorted:

"The formats of drama and musical are too different, and the musical version of Cats is the best. It is meaningless to make such a meaningless adaptation."

At this time, even Ichinose Honami was a little dissatisfied. As the vice president of the student union, she naturally knew the identity of the transfer student Horikita Suzune, but she did not expect this girl who suddenly appeared at the beginning of school. On the first day, he showed his hostility towards Kitagawa Ryo. It was obviously the first time the two met.

"Horikita-kun, I think these words are too much no matter what you say."

"If we really have to pick one person in this school who has the ability to adapt, it can only be Ryo."

Ichinose Honami stood in front of Kitagawa Ryo and expressed his thoughts in a vague way.

"I don't think I said anything wrong. If the 'coolness' in your mouth is really that powerful, then why did you choose to quit the drama circle?"

"Wouldn't it be better for the whole city to see his masterpiece?"

Fourteen-year-old Horikita Suzune couldn't relate to the word 'mature', and even spoke in a much heavier tone because of the inexplicable dissatisfaction she had accumulated in her heart before.

Horikita Suzune's thinking logic is very simple. She is not denying Kitagawa Ryo's talent, because it has been verified by Horikita Manabu personally. The only thing she is upset about is what she heard today about Kitagawa Ryo quitting the drama circle and no longer acting. Dramatic news.

It was as if one day he suddenly saw that the treasure he had been pursuing and longing for was abandoned by others like a pair of worn out shoes.

Extreme self-confidence and low self-esteem were born in one person at the same time, which ultimately formed the current Horikita Suzune.

After roughly understanding Horikita Suzune's inexplicable hostility towards him, Kitagawa Ryo smiled helplessly.

It seems that leaving a deep impression on Horikita Manabu will be more memorable to Horikita Suzune. If he couldn't simulate it now, he really wanted to use the simulation to see what Horikita Suzune experienced in his childhood that led to this A paranoid and almost twisted character.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Ryo lost interest in fighting with Horikita Suzune.

"Well, you're right."

He nodded sharply and turned to talk to the people in the student union:

"How's it going? Have you finished checking?"

"If you think it won't pass, you can report it to the school and cancel me as the minister."

Kitagawa Ryo yawned lazily:

"Anyway, the school first asked me to name this thing. I haven't actually been to the drama department a few times."

"So to be honest, I didn't originally plan to adapt "Cats", just so that I could raise cats in the school openly."

After speaking, Kitagawa Ryo used both hands to pick up Hotaru who was lying on the table and prepared to leave. He waved the cat's right front paw as a farewell.

"etc!"

Horikita Suzune actually persisted and caught up again. She stopped in front of Kitagawa Ryo and looked at him from top to bottom again.

He even put his right hand flat to compare their heights.

Hey, hey, girls develop earlier than boys, right?

Kitagawa Ryo was a little amused by Horikita Suzune's childish actions, and stood there intending to listen to what the other party had to say.

"I want to see a performance of Oedipus Rex starring you."

Horikita Suzune said with a sullen face.

"You should be able to find relevant videos of Liang's performance on the Internet."

Ichinose Honami finally came to his senses. It turned out that he was still a fan of Ryo Kitagawa, so he suddenly transferred to another school because...

Suddenly thinking about the whole drama, and combining it with Horikita Suzune's previous speech, Ichinose Honami also stepped forward and said.

"I want to sit in the audience and watch one with my own eyes."

Horikita Suzune shook her head, as if to prove her sincerity, and added:

"I can also pay for the tickets."

"But seeing one of my plays and inviting me to perform are two completely different prices."

Kitagawa Ryo replied with a smile. He opened his mouth and announced a number that was completely unimaginable for the current Horikita Suzune. Then he hugged Hotaru and watched the change in Horikita Suzune's expression.

Her purple pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to refute, but her lips moved twice and then closed again. She made a slight smacking sound, her eyes wandered to the ground, her small nose twitched, and she took a deep breath. Take a breath, and finally glare at yourself.

This kind of detailed facial expression changes is really fun to watch no matter how many times you watch it.

"The drama department is recruiting new students. I want to join the drama department."

But Horikita Suzune's mind is still bright. Since Kitagawa Ryo is the director of the drama department, if she can join the drama department, there will always be a chance to see his performance.

And maybe I also have drama-related talents, isn't it "Oedipus King"?

He, Ryo Kitagawa, can act, why can't he act?

And he has to act better than the other person, so that his brother can see that he is no worse than him.

"If you want to join, just contact the relevant people yourself. I'm just a no-brainer."

Kitagawa Ryo didn't want to get angry with Horikita Suzune, but couldn't help the other party acting like she was quarreling with him, so he simply decided to leave her to the drama department to deal with.

In the final analysis, drama requires the cooperation of actors, directors, logistics and other personnel. With Horikita Suzune's character, there is a high probability that she will hit a wall.

Kitagawa Ryo recalled the conversation he had with Horikita Manabu two years ago. At that time, Horikita Manabu asked him during the acknowledgment session after the performance:

"What does the Sphinx's puzzle mean?"

"Is it that puzzle where you walk on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and one leg in the evening?"

"Well, I know the answer to it is 'people'."

"The Sphinx is a monster, a monster with the body of a lion and the face of a woman. It represents fear and temptation."

"But when King Oedipus figured out the riddle, he fell off the cliff and died."

"This means that as long as people understand themselves, they can overcome temptation and fear."

Beichuan Liang said with a smile:

"This is also one of the famous oracles of Delphi: Know thyself."

"Many plays in ancient Greece were keen to highlight the glory and greatness of people."

"I wish my sister could come to see your Oedipus King."

Horikita Manabu held Kitagawa Ryo's hand, and he who knew Horikita Suzune quickly understood what the other person meant.

Just like King Oedipus has been burdened with the oracle's identity as "the man who kills his father and marries his mother" since birth, Horikita Suzune also bears the somewhat ridiculous name of "Horikita's younger sister". But it's real pressure.

Kitagawa Ryo knew very well how it felt to have a genius brother and sister, which meant an ever-present shadow. Perhaps it was because of this that Horikita Manabu chose to actively stay away from Horikita Suzune. He did not want his equally talented sister to be with him. He became a victim in the shadow, but he didn't expect that his departure would further distort his image in his sister's heart, even approaching perfection.

Therefore, what Horikita Manabu hopes is that Horikita Suzune can truly "know herself" and defeat the "Sphinx" played by herself, which represents desire and fear.

The desire to prove himself to his brother and the fear of realizing that he may never be able to surpass his brother.

To this day, Horikita Suzune still stops in front of the Sphinx, not daring to take another step.

----------------------------------------

Azabu Junior High School, drama club.

"Thank you for your hard work today, little Kikyo. There are so many freshmen who have signed up to join the club this year."

A senior girl organized the materials in her hands and placed them on the table. She couldn't help but rub the hair of the girl in front of her.

In fact, not only her, but the entire drama department is very fond of this girl. After all, a child like this who is good at studying, good at sports, has a good personality and can take care of others will always be favored by others.

"It's okay, senior. It's probably because the news about Minister Kitagawa spread this year, so there are so many people here."

Kushida Kikyo quickly waved her hand to show that she was not working hard.

"Speaking of Beichuan, it's true. He has never been to the drama department twice, but because he is a famous actor, the school actually asked him to be the director."

"This year's recruitment was also a mess. I received a lot of complaints from freshmen."

As soon as she heard Beichuan's name, the senior sister complained angrily.

After all, anyone who encounters such a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care at all will be a little resentful.

Of course, except for the little angel in front of him.

"Actually, Minister Kitagawa probably has his own difficulties, and being a professional theater actor must be super hard. I can't blame him for not having the time and energy to come here..."

Sure enough, Kushida Kikyo quickly defended Kitagawa Ryo, who he had never met twice.

"Oh, so Kikyo, you are just too kind."

Kushida Kikyo laughed secretly in her heart, but she still maintained a shy and sweet smile on her face.

After all, if you want to gain everyone's respect and trust, necessary acting skills are indispensable.

In fact, she first joined the drama club just to get in touch with Kitagawa Ryo, the most popular person in the school. As a good person at interpersonal relationships, Kushida Kikyo knew very well that if she could gain Kitagawa Ryo's friendship and even favor, her popularity in the school would also increase. It will improve quickly, it is really a shortcut.

But what Kushida Kikyo didn't expect was that Kitagawa Ryo was actually a minister in name only. After a year, let alone friendship, they only met each other twice, and maybe the other party didn't even know his name. Remember.

Just when Kushida Kikyo was a little distressed and was about to quit the drama club, he accidentally discovered another benefit here:

Suitable for decompression.

As a person who has established friendships with students in the whole class and even the whole school, while absorbing the nourishment called "trust", she also accumulated a lot of pressure. In the past, Kushida Kikyo always chose to anonymously post them on her blog. It was cathartic, but after entering the drama department, she was pleasantly surprised to find that drama performance was also a good way.

Because it is a fake performance, there is no problem in expressing your emotions however you want. Even if someone sees inappropriate behavior, you can just say "prepare for the performance" and "want to understand the thoughts of the characters in the play" to get over it. .

Looking back, I realized that I actually stayed in the drama department for a whole year.

Kushida Kikyo breathed out softly, and after saying goodbye to her senior sister, she started sorting out information related to new recruits in the drama club.

She thoroughly enjoyed the act of peeking into other people's privacy. Kushida Kikyo found out the other person's secrets, and then she felt a trembling pleasure that ran through her skin like an electric current.

[Horikita Suzune, a second-year junior high school student, transferred to our school this semester. ]

Naturally, Kushida Kikyo had heard some news about this unique transfer student, but she never expected that he would choose the drama club.

Even if it's just a formal ID photo, you can still see the beauty of this girl.

Kushida Kikyo licked her lips. The more perfect a student looked like this, the more she wanted to explore his secrets.

Just like when he once learned that the most popular boy's crush in the class was actually a girl who was not beautiful or even very ordinary, Kushida Kikyo looked through the other person's information.

With this bloodthirsty curiosity, she wished she could turn into a bug and get into Horikita Suzune's blood vessels in order to pry into deeper and darker secrets.

[Preliminary review passed]

She put a stamp of approval.

ps: It is said that Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune are from the same school in junior high school in the original work, so it is not considered a magic change.

ps2: Thank you for reading and subscribing. I am thinking about whether to change the cover, and if so, what cover should I change (:з」∠)_
