Chapter 228: Sudden Developments
This… I can, but what exactly is it about?”
Yagi Miyuki spoke cautiously. He already sensed the world’s malice; if it was something like an actor dropping out and needing him to temporarily play a prince, well… he could agree.
After all, dad and Aunt Ryoko hadn’t come to school.
“Brother, here’s the thing, we had a sudden issue here. Someone can’t perform on stage, and we’re short on people, so could you please help us out with a cameo?”
“Um…”
Yagi Miyuki blinked.
From the sound of it, it seemed it wasn’t Ayano who had a problem, so maybe a minor role?
“I can help.”
Yagi Miyuki hesitated for a moment but agreed, “But it’s not a major role, right? It’s sudden, and I’m afraid I won’t have time to memorize lines.”
“Don’t worry, it’s just the role of the prince’s attendant, no lines. You just need to follow Ayano on stage, keep a straight face and stay silent.”
“I can help with that.”
Yagi Miyuki nodded.
Being a “background character” on stage was a small matter; he certainly wouldn’t refuse Michako. Was there really a role like the prince’s attendant in the story, or was it something Michako’s class adapted?
“Then, I’ll rely on you, brother. Please be at the gymnasium by one o’clock.”
“Okay, I got it.”
After hanging up, Yagi Miyuki checked the time and realized it was already half-past twelve.
“Do I need to head over there now?”
Yagi Miyuki rubbed his forehead.
Ideally, it should be lunchtime, but he and Shion-senpai had been eating various snacks all morning, so he could skip lunch.
“What’s wrong, Yagi-kun?”
“It’s nothing.”
Yagi Miyuki glanced at the bucket beside Shion-senpai, which had seven or eight goldfish in just a short while, and with a forced cough, he said, “Michako needs my help with a role, so… we might have to pause for now.”

Yagi Miyuki said apologetically.
“Eh?”
Shion-senpai was momentarily stunned, then shook her head and smiled, “It’s okay, go to Michako-chan first. We can continue later. And I’m looking forward to the performance with Yagi-kun in it.”
“Thank you.”
Looking at Shion-senpai’s gentle smile on her delicate face, Yagi Miyuki couldn’t help but admire how great mature and understanding women were, almost making one want to marry them.
“No need to say that.”
Shion-senpai smiled, picking up the bucket beside her and said to the student in the shop, “Hello, please help me bag one fish to take away. Pour the rest back into the pool.”
After speaking, she looked at Yagi Miyuki and smiled, “I’ll bring one over to Michako.”
“Um… are you coming with me to the gymnasium, Shion-senpai? The performance hasn’t started yet, it will be boring.”
Yagi Miyuki said tactfully.
If Michako knew he’d been accompanying Shion-senpai at the school festival all morning, she might blow her top, right?
“It’s okay.”
Shion-senpai’s smile remained, her eyes full of affection as she softly said to Yagi Miyuki, “Where Yagi-kun is, I will be there too.”
“Uh…”
Yagi Miyuki suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Yagi?”
Before he could say anything, a familiar, deep voice suddenly came from the side, causing him to instinctively look over. His expression instantly froze.
“Dad, dad?”
He saw a muscular, square-faced, serious-looking middle-aged man making eye contact with him. Beside the man was a beautifully featured young woman.

“That’s not right, isn’t it? Weren’t they supposed to come back tomorrow at the earliest?”
Yagi Miyuki looked disheveled at his dad and Aunt Ryoko approaching, asking in a daze, “Dad, when did you come back?”
“We just got home at nine and then rushed over.”
Yagi Sohyon, kept a straight face, his gaze shifting to Shion next to Yagi Miyuki.
“You must be Yagi-kun’s parents, right?”
Shion-senpai maintained her smile, politely bowing slightly, “I am Yagi-kun’s friend—Shion. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Yagi, the lawyer, scrutinized the girl who seemed to have a special relationship with his son, then nodded in satisfaction, “Thank you for taking care of my child, Shion-san.”
Saying this, he gave Yagi Miyuki an approving look, as if to say: “You’re doing well, son.”
With his discernment, he could tell that Shion-san, from her dress and demeanor to her behavior, was probably not a high school student but more likely a university student.
Yagi Sohyon realized he might have underestimated his son. Instead of dating girls his age, he seemed to be pursuing a university student?
You’ve got it wrong~
Yagi Miyuki noticed the admiration in his stepfather’s eyes and felt somewhat at a loss for words.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Yagi Sohyon, shook his head and then suddenly said to Yagi Miyuki, “Don’t tell Michako I’m here. Your Aunt Ryoko and I want to give her a surprise.”
“Understood.”
Watching his dad and Aunt Ryoko leave, Yagi Miyuki showed a relieved expression, “That was close…”
If Michako had called earlier saying Ayano suddenly had a problem and wanted him to play the prince, to prevent Michako from being taken advantage of by any other potential actors, he would have likely agreed.

If Yagi Sohyon, saw him publicly kissing his daughter…
Yagi Miyuki shivered at the thought.
That would have indeed been a big problem.
Thankfully, it was just a minor role as the prince’s attendant. Otherwise, not to mention the selection competition the day after tomorrow, he would have been in deep trouble today!
“Uncle and Aunt seem very amiable.”
While Yagi Miyuki was still immersed in fear, Shion-senpai’s comment made him shake his head, saying sadly, “Don’t be deceived by appearances.”
“Ah?”
“It’s nothing.”
Yagi Miyuki forced a smile, “Let’s go, we should head to the gymnasium. It’s almost time for Michako’s performance.”
…
“Where’s brother’s costume for the performance?”
In a rest room at the gymnasium, Michako, already dressed in a pure white, gorgeous princess gown with her black hair up and a tiara slightly askew, asked Ayano, who was sitting nearby expressionlessly playing with a prop sword, dressed in a somewhat overdramatic prince costume.
“It’s over there.”
Ayano noticed her friend’s nervousness and reassured her with a composed face, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Yagi-senpai wakes you up with a kiss at the end as the prince.”
