Chapter 345

"Hello Aunt Claudia ~ I'm Helena's classmate and roommate, Noa K. Melkwy."

Claudia smiled and nodded. "Hello, Noa."

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Mu En, and I am Noa's younger sister."

"It's a beautiful name, it means moon. Hello, Little Mu'en."

"Me! Me! My name is Aurorla, and my nickname is Xiaoguang. Auntie, give me a hug—"

"Hey baby, you can't hug me like that!"

Leon quickly intercepted his younger daughter's suit.

If this triggers Xiaoguang's uppercut, they'll never be able to get any information from Claudia again.

Xiao Guang blinked his big eyes in confusion.

Leon immediately explained, "That's not very polite, Xiao Guang."

"Okay." Xiao Guang nodded obediently.

Unfortunately, the achievement "Conquering All the Beautiful Aunts in the First Time" was not unlocked, which is a regret in my short life Aurorla.

After introducing herself, Noa clapped her hands.

"Alright everyone, now that everyone's here, let's officially begin rehearsals!"

The first step in rehearsing a play is assigning roles and responsibilities.

"Noa-chan is the director of this play, and I am the playwright. Neither of us has a fixed role, but we will play some small roles to solve the problem of not having enough manpower."

Helena held the script in her hands. The first page wasn't filled with lines and scenes, but rather some little notes she'd made. "Mom will point out any shortcomings in the script during rehearsals. Uncle Leon and Auntie Losweiser can also offer their opinions on the plot anytime. Little Mu'en and Little Guang can too!"

After all, it was a drama performance organized by the academy's Young Dragon Department, so it's normal to let the children serve as directors and writers.

We can't leave everything to the adults to handle, or the competition will lose its original meaning.

Moreover, their personnel allocation is also very reasonable.

Noa had prior experience as a documentary filmmaker.

I remember it was a few years ago, when Leon and Losweiser went on their first date in Sky City to help her finish a school assignment.

Noa followed her Mom Dad whole time, trying to capture the most authentic side of their date – thankfully, it was the "most authentic" side that Noa understood, rather than the sordid secret the couple had been hiding.

Otherwise, this essay describing family harmony would turn into a brief history of the Human-Dragon War titled "The Silver Dragon lady Wants to Torture Me to Death."

However, in the end, Noa still wrote a high-scoring essay full of emotion, and the feelings between the ill-fated couple also warmed up a little bit during this date (Fingertip Universe).

There's no problem with Helena taking on the role of screenwriter, after all, her Mom works in the field, and she's been exposed to it since childhood, so everyone trusts her abilities.

"Okay, now that the director and screenwriter are confirmed, let's decide on the actors to play the main roles in the show."

Director Noa said in a serious tone, "My idea is that since our drama is based on the love-hate relationship between the male and female leads, it would be best to choose a couple who are actually a couple to play the roles."

After saying that, everyone turned to look at the Only One couple (husband and wife) present.

The couple had anticipated that they would be shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

Before the official decision is made, Leon wants to try his luck a bit more.

"Noa, Helena, do you think it's possible that the contrast between the character in the play and the actor playing him could catch the judges' and audience's attention and create an unexpected effect?"

Noa said with a straight face, "That's impossible, Daddy. Actually, Helena said that these two roles were originally tailor-made for you and Mom."

"..."

You've even gone so far as to tailor-make this play? Are you sure it's for a college competition, and not for your Mom to use as an excuse to show off their love?

"No problem, Noa, my Daddy and I will follow your arrangements," Losweiser said with a smile.

Leon looked at Losweiser and saw her nod almost imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Leon stopped making excuses.

Since we've already agreed to let Noa participate in this play, let's try our best to go along with her requests.

"Mu En's role is the heroine's maid. She is responsible for taking care of the Princess and will also help her bravely pursue love when necessary." Noa looked at her sister.

Mu En shook her ahoge (cowlick) happily and looked at Losweiser, "Yay~ It's Mu En's turn to take care of Mom ~"

Losweiser smiled and ruffled her hair. "Thank you in advance, Mu En."

Little Moon proudly put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and wagged her tail, "Taking care of Princess Mom is Mu En's duty!"

Very energetic!

You will definitely be a dedicated actress and a good daughter in the future.

"Xiao Guang's character is a little elf who guides the male protagonist step by step to escape his predicament and return to the female protagonist's side."

"I know that!"

Xiao Guang raised his hand, "The inspiration must have come from Cupid. I've seen him in books; he's the little fairy who helps adults find love!"

"Hmm...actually, your role is somewhat different from Cupid's," Noa said.

Xiao Guang tilted his head. "Huh? How are they different?"

"Cupid is naked, but you aren't."

Xiao Guang:...

"Haha, big sister, you're so funny."

Leon secretly suppressed a laugh behind Xiao Guang's back.

There aren't many people who can make Little Pink Hair lose her temper, and her older sister is one of them.

"And what about Ms. Claudia?"

Losweiser asked proactively.

Actually, Noa was going to bring up Claudia anyway, so there was no need for her to ask that question.

But in order to make a lasting impression on her during this first encounter, Losweiser plans to mention Claudia from time to time.

And Losweiser will also keep things in check so as not to offend Claudia.

"Aunt Claudia... she's here to play the male protagonist's Mom!"

Leon:?

"Why does a love story include elements from the previous generation?" Leon asked.

"Love stories aren't always smooth sailing; there's always someone who has to step in and cause trouble."

Noa said, "This can raise expectations and also show how difficult it is to achieve a happy ending."

Losweiser's thoughts stirred slightly. "Obstruction? That means... Ms. Claudia is going to play a non-positive role in the play?"

"Well... he's not entirely a villain."

This time it was Helena's turn to explain, "After thinking about it, I realized that my Mom is the only one who can portray this kind of intense pressure while also showing concern for the male protagonist."

I understand.

It's a villainous role that tests acting skills, Dragon girl couldn't handle it, so it had to be given to the adults.

"Helena."

Claudia, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Mom?" Helena looked up at Claudia, who had a serious expression.

Leon, meanwhile, was secretly worried for the little Sea Dragon girl.

As the screenwriter, it's normal for you to design a multi-layered villain character in the show; it's also a major highlight of the show.

Moreover, if the plot is well-arranged and the characters are well-developed, it can greatly enhance the play.

But my little one, you just bluntly said something like, "My Mom is perfect for playing intimidating villains"...

If Noa said that your Auntie Losweiser is suitable to play a villain, guess how this Dragon Queen would take her anger out on me at night?

Now we can only hope that Ms. Claudia understands the principle that children's words are innocent.

The beautiful young woman lowered her eyes and asked in an extremely serious tone,

"Does Mom look like a villainous queen?"

"Emmm..."

Little Sea Dragon girl began to think.

Please, child, your mother is giving you a chance, but you must think it through carefully before you speak!

Finally, Helena nodded very seriously.

"Yes, it does."

This time, not only Leon, but even Losweiser was stunned by the kid's shocking remarks.

Rather than hoping Claudia understands the wisdom of children's innocent remarks, Losweiser hopes she isn't someone who likes to take her anger out on others.

Otherwise, after rehearsals, there won't be many opportunities to talk to her about things outside of the play.

This feeling is truly wonderful—

Although the people talking were the Sea Dragon mother and daughter, it was the Silver Dragon couple were drenched in sweat.

"Yes, Mom is very pleased, Helena, you have learned the most important thing in 'creation'."

Claudia patted her daughter's head, a smile appearing on her face for the first time. "I won't change my original intention because of anyone's doubts."

"But..."

"Mom still needs to explain."

"Mom may look a little fierce, but Mom is actually a very good person."

"Do you understand?"

Helena nodded vigorously, "I understand, Mom."

Claudia smiled with satisfaction, then looked up at Leon and his wife.

Although she didn't say anything, it was as if she was silently repeating what she had just said to the couple—

"But Mom is actually a very good person."

Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, puzzled as to why Claudia would use such an obvious hint to emphasize this point...

After the roles were assigned, Noa's small troupe immediately began rehearsing the first act.

First, Director Noa explained the scene to everyone.

"The first act is the first encounter between the male and female protagonists in the dungeon, and there are three actors who need to appear on stage: the Daddy, the Mom, and Mu En."

"At the beginning, Mom brought Mu En to the dungeon, and then Mom wanted to talk to the enemy knight who was captured there alone, so she sent Mu En away."

"After Mu En left, Mom went into the knight's cell and had a brief conversation. Since it was the first rehearsal, we just read the lines from the script."

"Once you've memorized the lines, it'll be time for the actual performance."

Does anyone have any questions about this section?

Question...

Liu Lin'er 2III Shiba Basi Nanjin, there is none.

The sense of déjà vu in this first scene is just too strong.

How do you know that your Mom just wanted to have a private talk with your Dad back then, and that's how you and your sister came to be?

"The inspiration for this script really does come from real life..." Leon thought to himself with a touch of emotion.

"No problem, Noa," Claudia said.

"Alright, let's begin the first act."

At Director Noa. 1's command, rehearsals officially began.
