Chapter 175: 15-year-old Inglis and the Two Leading Actresses (28)
「Ladies and Gentlemen. I bid you welcome!」
Count Weissmall stood on the stage and bowed deeply to the audience. It was a speech before the raising of the curtain. All eyes from the near-full capacity of the Theatre were focused on him at once.
Inglis and the others were watching it unfold from the gap of the curtains in the wing of the stage.
「U-, uwaah……so many people! It’s really unnerving, isn’t it……」
Pullum swallowed her saliva. She was dressed in the same dancer’s outfit as Rafinha, Leone, and Liselotte. In the end, it was decided that Pullum would also take part in the dancing behind Inglis. Ian suggested it, saying that it would surely make Lahti happy.
Lahti opposed the idea, but Count Weissmall readily agreed to it. Thus, even though he was complaining all the while, Lahti memorized the whole choreography and patiently went along with Pullum’s practices, who herself was just a little bit of a klutz and having a hard time remembering the choreography. While indeed he couldn’t be true with himself, he seemed to fully support Pullum to get her on stage.
「You idiot, I’m the one getting nervous here! I can’t help but worry that you’ll just trip Inglis and the others……」
「I-, I’ll do my best!」
「It’s alright! It’s not as unnerving as stopping a falling airship or having to fight a Magic Stone Beast, right?」
