Chapter 229: Prelude
Arriving at the rest room Michako mentioned in the gymnasium, Yagi Miyuki glanced at Shion-senpai beside him, then raised his hand to knock on the door while calling out.
“Michako—”
“Brother, you came…ah…”
The door of the rest room opened quickly in response, revealing a smiling Michako dressed in a white princess gown.
But the next moment, her smile gradually faded.
“Good afternoon, Michako.”
“Shion-san… why are you here?”
Michako asked, eyeing the mature and elegant girl beside her brother with a hint of displeasure.
“It’s the school festival of my alma mater, of course, I had to come back and see it.”
Shion-senpai innocently blinked, smiled slightly, and glanced at Yagi Miyuki, “But I didn’t want to trouble my former juniors, so I asked Yagi-kun to show me around.”
“I see.”
Michako’s eyebrows twitched, her heart filled with resentment.
She was so focused on today’s plan that she let this woman step in and take her brother away.
Michako felt somewhat exhausted.
Watching the number of girls around her brother increase while she made no progress, she worried that her brother would be taken away by someone else sooner or later.
“Cough…”
Seeing his sister’s unhappy face, Yagi Miyuki coughed and timely said, “Don’t you need
my help? I hope the costume for the performance will fit me.”
“The costume is inside.”
Michako’s wavering gaze slowly returned to focus, smiling, “The boy who previously played the prince’s attendant is about the same size as you, brother, so it should be fine.”
What she didn’t say was that the costume was rented according to her brother’s measurements – it would be a surprise if it didn’t fit. Knowing her brother’s body measurements well… wasn’t that a sister’s duty?

“Alright…”
Yagi Miyuki nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy that Michako might be plotting something. Thinking about their parents coming to watch, he became anxious.
He wanted to warn his sister that their beloved parents were coming, so she shouldn’t do anything rash.
But knowing Michako, the presence of their parents might not dissuade her, but rather excite her even more.
“Good afternoon, Ayano.”
Upon entering the rest room and seeing Ayano in an exaggerated prince costume with a red cape, Yagi Miyuki felt a bit relieved.
In the play “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” the only role that could put him in danger was the prince, as the story not only involved the prince waking up the princess with a kiss but also concluded with them living happily ever after.
Wouldn’t Yagi Sohyon explode on the spot if he saw his son and daughter end up happily together?
Yagi Miyuki shuddered at the thought.
“Brother, hurry up and change into the costume. The second act after the opening at 1:30 pm is ours.”
“Alright.”
Yagi Miyuki took the roughly made knight costume handed over by his sister, feeling even more reassured.
If this could go wrong, like having him kiss Michako playing the princess, he’d… make the scriptwriter eat this costume.
“Brother, let’s go to the changing booth over there. These costumes are a bit tricky to put on, let me help you.”
Pulled by Michako into a small booth, Yagi Miyuki quickly changed into the costume, finding it strangely fitting as if it were tailor-made for him.
“It fits perfectly.”
Michako smiled while helping Yagi Miyuki adjust his costume, casually commenting, “Hmm… Ito-kun, who usually plays the role, seems to have a similar build to you, brother. I didn’t expect it to fit this well.”

“Is that so.”
Under Michako’s tactic of creating a fictitious friend, Yagi Miyuki’s suspicion lessened, but he remained vigilant, “I really don’t have any lines, right?”
“Yep.”
Michako nodded, her smile unchanged, seriously saying, “You just need to follow behind Ayano for the entrance.”
“What’s the point of the prince’s attendant role then?”
Yagi Miyuki fell into thought.
A character without a single line, just serving as a backdrop – what was the point of its existence?
Seeing her brother’s doubtful expression, Michako’s eyes flashed with panic. She quickly changed the subject: “Brother, it’s almost time for the opening, we should get ready and head backstage.”
“Okay.”
Yagi Miyuki nodded, suppressing his confusion, and casually asked, “Where are the other actors?”
In the rest room, he had only seen Michako and Ayano.
“They just went to change their clothes; they should be almost here now. Let’s go out.”
Michako pulled her brother out of the booth. The rest room was now crowded with a dozen girls.
“Everyone’s here, huh.”
“Michako, we’re all ready.”
A girl with a bob haircut, wearing a school uniform, winked at Michako.
“Thanks, Hayakawa-san.”
“Hehe… I’m looking forward to it too.”
The girl named Hayakawa looked curiously at Yagi Miyuki, sizing him up and down, then seriously nodded, “Yagi-senpai is indeed handsome. No wonder Michako likes you so much.”
“Uh…”
Yagi Miyuki felt a bit awkward, not quite understanding why Hayakawa’s tone was so ambiguous, even though she knew he and Michako were siblings.

Yagi Miyuki cleared his throat and politely said, “Hello, thank you for taking care of Michako.”
“That’s true.”
A girl dressed in a queen costume approached, seriously saying, “We do take good care of Michako. If Yagi-senpai wants to thank us, please do your best to ensure the success of this performance.”
“Ah… Oh.”
Yagi Miyuki was even more puzzled.
He was just a minor character without any lines; how could the success of the performance depend on him? Or were they worried he couldn’t even manage to be a proper background character?
“I understand.”
Yagi Miyuki nodded, feeling increasingly uneasy.
“Alright, let’s not bother him anymore.”
Michako, observing her brother’s expression, sensed things going south and quickly interjected, “We should head backstage now. Let’s go.”
…
“This is a good spot.”
In the auditorium of the gymnasium, before the stage yet to open, Yagi Sohyon sat contentedly in the center of the first row, holding a DSLR camera.
“I heard Michako is the lead this time. I need to take good photos for keepsake.”
“Do we really need to come twenty minutes early?”
Sitting beside Yagi Sohyon, Yagi Ryoko, with shoulder-length hair and a face somewhat resembling Michako, spoke with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
