Performer's Worst Nightmare

(MC POV)

"Remember, no rushing," I warned.

The other actors nodded at me.

That was my caution for them to not speak their lines too fast and to maintain the flow of the play.

Kiyomi strutted out onto the stage as the lights in the theatre dimmed and a spotlight focused on her from the rafters above.

She did the introductory speech as the troupe's leader and organiser, introducing our troupe and the title of our play to the audience and setting the mood for our play.

With her role as the leader, she was dressed in a very elegant black dress that complemented her white hair and tails.

She had even worn earrings for the occasion and done makeup as well, truly making her current visage breathtakingly beautiful, something that was different from her usual cool beauty visage.

I had to spend a good few minutes patting her after she heard me compliment her dress and she got so happy she just cuddled against me and wouldn't let go.
