The next morning, Lutz visited the Daemon Temple.
Well then, as promised, instead of handing over the bill, I'll have you join the virtual spirit theater [Spector Theater].
Lutz groaned happily in front of the five of them.
"There's one more." Yeah. Monk will come too, won't he? "
Of course. Monks go to Lutz's theater every time.
The monk looks down at Lutz with a smile.
"Unlike last time, there are dangers, so be careful."
"How dangerous is it?"
Listening to Lutz's attention, Truth asked.
"I'm really going to attack you to make you feel more immersive." I'll try not to get hurt as much as I can, but be careful anyway. "
"I've done things that hurt each other so far."
Some of them were really trying to kill me.
When I heard Lutz's attention, I said Maja and Yaya in a somewhat ironic way.
Since there was time for the performance, the monk did not accompany him, and went to the theater with six people, Lutz, Makkasan, Midori, Mika, Yaya, and Maya.
The place where we arrived was different from the previous theater. It's a bigger building this time. It looks completely different. The exterior is a Western castle itself.
"Is this the theater?" "Sophisticated."
It's so big.
A line of people who look at the theater and feel uncomfortable. I felt the gap and imbalance caused by the sudden appearance of Western-style castles in Japanese-style rural villages.
Inside the theater - Six people enter the guest seat.
"The inside is also spacious." There's a lot of seats. "
I saw the size of the seats and the number of seats, and it was true. The stage is hidden behind curtains.
”Whoa, looks like we can accommodate all the villagers?”
"Yes, I can. I designed it to accommodate all the villagers." I don't know if they're all here.
Lutz replied to Midori. If you truly accept Lutz's words, there will be quite a few people visiting when you play the play.
Wow, that's amazing. There are ghosts in the theater ~
Midori looks around. I can feel the signs of an example on the top and in the billions.
"Spiritual guests are in the sky." These are the spirits that the village necromancers brought with them. "
"Not only the actors, but also the guests have spirits." Is that what you're doing to stimulate the spirits? "
"Yeah, yeah, that's it."
Lutz nods to true words.
(This village is full of gloomy people, and I don't understand the image of coming to see the theatre at all. But if you don't know if Lutz is coming, there's going to be a lot of people coming.)
And I think it's true.
"Yes, this."
Lutz gave them all the script.
The content of the play in the script was as follows. The general leads the knights in a battle against the witch who wreaks havoc on the country. The witch's power was immense, but the general had it all. While the witch's mind is caught in the cage, she sneaks into the witch's tower from the back and assassins the witch. However, the protagonist, who was entrusted with the task of the troops, resented the treatment of being tortured and turned the flag against the general.
“Why are you doing this? I'm just doing it for the spirit?"
After reading through the script, Yaya asked a question. If you're going to stimulate the spirit, there might be another way.
"Even if you ask me why... I can only answer because I like you." I can make plays by myself using necromancy. "
Lutz answers with a little confusion.
"But now you're trying to make us actors who are living people."
"Well... if I'm serious, I'd like to use a living human actor." In the first place, virtual spirits don't even have a soul, they're just substitutes for residual thoughts. "
Truthfully told, Lutz spills a lonely smile.
"By the way, this script doesn't have a dialogue written on it!" Progression only! "
Mika shouts.
Like last time, the virtual spirits will teach you the dialogues, so I want you to follow them.
Mika wasn't here last time.
"Oh, I see... well, I'll manage."
Pointed out by Yaya, Lutz whispered his head.
"What about practice!?"
I did it last time, do you want to do it again?
"That's why Mika wasn't there..."
Ah, that's right.
Mika shouted, Maya pointed out this time, and Lutz whispered his head again.
"Hmph... even the last practice was a different play than today, right?" In other words, we hit each other too, so we're not in production. "
"I thought it was better to be nervous."
To Midori's words, Lutz said lightly.
"What if the result fails!?"
Mika is stunned.
"I wonder if that will be a good memory." I've never done a play with a living person before. Until I learned how to handle virtual spirits, I used regular spirits, and at that time, I was quite unsuccessful. "
"That's a strange way of thinking!" We should avoid failure! "
Mika denies Lutz's words directly.
“If it's something you're going to show in front of someone else, you should avoid compromising as much as you can! In the first place, creativity, art, entertainment, to make people enjoy themselves, and to enhance the level of completion--"
"That's your way of thinking, isn't it?" My creative attitude is different from yours. "
Lutz let out a muffled voice, blocking Mika's cry.
"Entertainment and art will be subtly different. Even if you don't care about the eyes of others, you can immerse yourself in self-satisfaction and say," This is art. "Lutz is more of an art than an entertainment. You can do whatever you want, and if you have someone to watch and hang out with, that's fine, right?”
I see! I'm sorry!
"No... I understand what you're saying..." That's why I'm so confused. I'm sorry. "
Mika was truly persuaded, and Lutz apologized.
"It's me. My mother was crazy and I was building a theater just like me." I collected children who didn't go to the end of the year and prepared a forced play. A play that uses lions, drowns them, burns them with fire, or does something like that. Just to be realistic. "
Lutz starts talking with a distorted smile.
"Since Yuri-sama helped me, I've learned necromancy and lived in peace, but apparently I liked the stage itself." It was stained. My desire to play the stage in a different way than my mother has grown. That's how we open a theater in the village and use the spirits to perform. Well, even if Yuri-sama saved me, it seems that I made such a terrible mother. I try not to think deeply about it. "
Lily realizes that Lutz's mother may also be like Akiko and Mizuki.
"But as I said now, I really want to use the actors of the living, and this time, the actors of the living who are waiting for me will participate, so it is floating, and even if it looks like this, it is also nervous. I want to succeed."
"If you want to succeed, Mika-san is right. If you do it properly, you are likely to fail."
Midori listens to Lutz.
"Midori's right, we don't have time to get to the real thing, but I think we should practice once."
“It's troublesome, and I don't care if I fail, but I think what everybody says is true.”
I also agreed with Yaya and Maya.
“Okay, let's do that. I was wrong. Thank you for your input."
Lutz laughed shyly, honestly admitting his disobedience and thanking him.
"He's a lover!" Boys are the most honest! I would really like to cooperate with this kind of guy! "
Mika speaks majestically about what she feels. Not only Mika, but other faces also had similar feelings for Lutz.
