As soon as the curtain rose, the music began.
The music was not only live, but also accompanied by magical instruments, singing chants, and other magical effects.

'---- '

The "Mirage Ball" on the ceiling in the center of the stage shines. On this stage, all the production magic was diffused through the Mirage Ball to amazing effect.

The stage and the audience were transformed in an instant.

The wedding hall, which was only in the set, was now spreading to the audience.

What had been a special stage just a few moments before was now transformed into a wedding hall. The audience who had come to see the show had become wedding guests, celebrating the wedding ceremony of the two main actors.

'---- '

The conductor leads the music. The wedding hall, which was suddenly born in the middle of a meadow, was bathed in the dazzling light of the sun.

There are two people.

Rey, played by Franca, a nobleman and a warrior.
The girl mage bride, Prine, played by Prine.

As if to congratulate them, doves flew out from the back of the ceremony hall.

The priest announces their marriage and Rey lifts the veil of Prine.

At that moment,

'Hahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The area suddenly became dark, and the sound of idiotic laughter echoed through the air.

I'll take that beautiful bride!

The audience is buzzing with excitement and joy.
They are making bets on who will be the first to find "Monster Z", searching the ceiling, walls and pillars with bloodshot eyes...

Here it is!

The priest spins around and transforms into a man in a black cloak and hat and a suspicious mask.

He holds his bride and thrusts his saber at Rey.

'Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Nuh!

Pudding's scream of happiness and Ray's voice of half-serious irritation.
The monster Z taunts Rei, pointing out the saber on his waist.

'Come on, nobleman. What do you want? Is that thing on your waist a decoration? No, no, no, it's for ceremonial purposes, so it's definitely decorative, but that's not what I'm talking about. Noblesse oblige, you say, but you're useless at the critical moment! Is it worth it to protect this young bride even if she has to duel with me! Or use your age as an excuse to run away....

Our guests are nobles and merchants. The monster Z, who clearly identifies himself as a villain by mocking them, easily avoids Ray's saber, which was thrown out in mid-sentence, and retreats.

Although it is an act, the saber is real. The use of real weapons with magical effects is one of the attractions of the guild-sponsored show stage. You can't avoid serious injury if you take a bad shot.

--Let me finish. I'm ad-libbing.

Laughing under his mask, the monster Z looks at the bride he's carrying.

You're really light. Are you eating?
I'm eating! Oh no, let go of me!

Whether it was an act or not, Pudding wiggled his body happily. It was a gesture of trying to escape from the scene, but it was very erotic as her open bosom bobbed and swayed. The monster Z quickly covers her up with a cape if he doesn't like it. The booing comes from another direction, but I don't care.

What are you?

Rey asks Z with a deadly force that is hard to believe that it is an act. I'm the one who wants to hear it, but I'll answer without saying.

I'm Z the monster! I'm a thief who steals beautiful things! Today we are here to kidnap the best bride in the land, nobleman?
'Fine, you came here to be killed by me.
Are you listening to me?
I will not listen to you!

A saber is swung. It is so fast that it looks like three sword strokes. I'm sure he's serious. He's really going to kill me...seriously?

Muh-!
'Oh, look out, look out, look out.

He is surprised to see the edge of his hat cut off and he looks very surprised. He is smiling and smiling, but he is dripping with sweat.

--This guy is really strong. He looks like he has a swordsmanship level of 25 or so.

According to the script, after this, they will cut each other at random and fall down pretending to be cut at random, but I wonder if they can afford to do that. I wonder if they can afford to do so, though.

While I'm thinking about it, they keep slashing at me.

The music changes to that of a battle. The music changes to that of a battle, and the monster Z, with pudding under his arm, is pushed to the edge of the battlefield, but he takes the sword.

Just when he thinks it is time for him to be intentionally hit, Ray's movement stops.
I looked at him quizzically,

'............ I see.'

In a whisper, in a voice so small that it would not even fit in a microphone, Rey - or rather, Lord Franca - muttered, "I'm sorry.

You must be Rana Prata. You surely are a strange one.
'............ know me?'

In the same way, Rana replied in a voice that only the other person could hear.

'............ No wonder Assassin had a hard time.

--Assassin!

That was the first day, when Prine was kidnapped--

And a momentary flutter in Rana's heart. The lord of Franca did not miss it.

He said...

What?
'............ but a poke in the heart can kill you.'

The saber of Lord Franca pierced Rana's chest.
A nobleman whispers in Rana's ear as she falls.

You will be treated as an accident. I will take good care of the bride.

--Come on, ......!

His knees break and the monster Z falls to the ground.
Ray holds the stunned Puddin and raises his saber high toward the audience.

Wow! A cheer roared from the audience.



The righteous aristocrat has won, defeating the villain who has come to kidnap his bride.
The venue was once again filled with joy, fanfares rang out, and confetti danced in the air.

At the feet of the cheering crowd, Rana was stabbed through the heart,

--Oh, dear.

I was in a cold sweat.

--He really went for my heart. If I hadn't planted the "Blackbeard" trick, I'd be dead. .......

Sigh of relief.

Blackbeard" is a clown's skill to set a mark at a predetermined location in a garment and pass through another space only once when penetrated.

Simply put, it is to create a tunnel of another space in the body.

In this case, it was set at the heart, with the chicken tucked away in the pocket and the saber passing through the heart on the back.
The meat that Lord Franca got the feel of piercing was not the heart of Rana, but the chicken. It was enough to make three delicious fried chickens.

The "clown", who has reached level 15 in Lana's experience, is still very useful, although many of his skills can only be used once. I guess he can play dead as much as he wants.

--Anyway, Assassin or ....... This aristocrat is still a little bit suspicious.

Let's just play dead for now and let him swim, Rana thinks. Even if he gets up right now, he can't do anything. The other guy is a 'righteous friend' and I'm a 'villain'.

Even if he claims I tried to kill him, as he just said, it was an accident. An accident at the level of a 25-year-old warrior is impossible, but the world doesn't know that, and neither does the judge.

--So he wanted to get rid of the obstacles so that he could marry Prine. And he said he was an assassin. This guy's pretty messed up.

I guess I should get up and get Prine away from him now. But with ......, the clown in me doesn't want to ruin the show.
No - it seems to me that he's saying that if we wait a little longer, we'll have a better situation.

--Really, what is this job .......

I sigh secretly.

Lord Franca waves proudly to the audience on stage.
Prine, who was worried that I had been seriously stabbed, seemed to have noticed when I made a V-sign and was secretly relieved.

According to the script, the hero aristocrat Ray puts a ring on Prine and that's the end of it. .......

--If you try to kiss me, I'll turn into a zombie and beat you up, you bastard!

The two look at each other so that the audience doesn't notice. Lord Franca doesn't seem to know that Lana is alive.

Rey-Franca sheathes his saber, pulls a ring from his pocket, and takes hold of Prin's hand.

Prine does as he is told and tries to put the ring on her hand.

Prine-Prine shudders as she tries to put the ring on.

Prine tries to pull her hand back, but Lord Franca grabs her firmly and doesn't let go.

--What is it?

Something is obviously wrong.
As if trying to avoid being fitted with a ring, Lord Franca overhears her.
He grins, his cheeks upturned so that the audience can't see him, and says, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

He looks as if he has noticed, but it's too late now. With this ring you will be my wife.

The ring that Lord Franca was holding glowed with a terrible light,

'--!

Rana's body jumped up.
