10] Before the Third event, some not NWO related events
A.N: Yeah, Extras, not Omake level material.
A.N. 2: Anyone who reads YS fics will know EXACTLY from WHERE a certain thing comes from. Credits are on the Talented Gremlin Jack for that little gem.
Kaede POV
School was over, and now, only those in a Club w/ activities for the day would stay, Risa had her swimming exercises, so I was keeping her company before I went to my own club, the Arts and Crafts club. Then we end stumbling upon a scene straight from those Mangas I love. Adelaide, looking a bit weirded and annoyed, at a member of the Theater Club in a Seiza, BEGGING her for help.
"PLEASE! WE JUST NEED YOU TO-"
"Play the main role again. Did you guys NOT LEARN your damn lesson? WHY IN HELLS YOU TOOK the Neighborhood School's challenge AGAIN?"
Ahhhh, that again? I really am on Adelaide's side on that. Last year, her performance as the lead character was KEY for them to actually win their duel against the Theater club of the School in a province next to ours, and she literally chewed their crappy play script. Guess they will have to take the Loss this time.
"PLEASE! IF YOU HELP, WE WILL GET YOU THAT SUPER LIMITED PARFAIT!"
Oh well, food bribery, that's not how-
"- Instead of that, you will help ME with some purchases after that, and YOU and YOUR CLUB PALS will pay for that, understood?"
They happily agreed, and me and my dear friend Risa saw her very infamous smirk, ah well, those Theater guys will be the ones crying later, for now, we both hurry o get to the clubs on time.
Adelaide POV
Alright, they took the damn bait hook line and sinker. So now, I will fulfill my side of this demonic deal I made them agree on, I make my way to their Club, after messaging my own I would be temporarily helping the Theater dumbs with their problems. And once there, I will make them EXPERIENCE, firsthand what actual high-end Theater play is.
Once there at the School's Gymnasium, and where they would spend this last week before the School's Festival began, this place was reserved for only Four clubs: Theater, Music, Film and the BB Gun, all would make a play, the BB gun planned for a comedic Reenactment of Flemon's first book, and the very scene Jacob Fails miserably his one Job in specific.
"Alright, you want a win? Then let me see WHAT garbage you wimps wrote."
The Writer of the club gives me the script, a skim later and I see quite some issues, then I pull a mental enhancement spell to quickly get through all details of this masterpiece of Burnable trash. Yup, I just dump it in the trashcan, time to MAKE these guys make something PASSABLE for a Theater play.
Risa POV
The days went and the School Festival was nearing, of course our Class decided on a Maid café, and I am SURE it's because of Kaede's "secret" Fanclub wanting to see my Clutzy friend in a Maid Costume. She's ok and even happy with the idea, so I let that slide, Adelaide… yeah, she's been giving some Pointers on her class's idea, then she goes straight to the Theater club practice. She's always been like that.
Those members of the Theater club would CRY for MONTHS at what Financial Hole Adelaide would rip on them all, but she would go for nothing LESS than the VERY BEST play possible. Now that this came to mind, Adelaide's family was like that very much, they prize keeping the worth of their word as high as possible, if they agreed on something, they would ONLY break that off with IRREFUTABLE proof the other side broke their side of the deal first.
So I follow to see what's shaping up to be those Guys work. I would regret that dearly after.
"CUT! I TOLD YOU MANY TIMES! PUT SOME WEIGHT IN THOSE MOVEMENTS!"
I saw hell, Adelaide was whipping up all of them int shape, to act the script to perfection, weeps, cries and calls for mommy were flooding the Gymnasium, followed by more of her whipping them back to improving their acting. I wisely left there as sneakily I could, and advised both Kaede and Mary to AVOID the Theater club.
Mary POV
It was getting late, and now my dear friend had finally felt those Theater cub members had taken enough of an ass chewing, so she went to practice with her club friends for their own play, I followed as I was curious about what they were exactly going to do for their time in the Gymnasium during the Festival day. Once I arrive, they're already doing it.
"Jacques! Do the damn Jump properly, act like a DAMN FROG, not a Headless Chicken!"
WHACK
A Paper fan hits Hiro's head, of all members of the BB gun club, his preference for Francois guns, especially if they were chambered in 7.5mm Republican Long ammo, made him the go to Butt of any Jokes those gun Otakus threw around. I was sure he was a closet M since he took all that without a single complaint, and happily when Adelaide joined in.
"Alright, Jacob has to aim that RPG a bit better, and double check the Gas load ALWAYS before the play, training or real deal."
I keep watching, and it clearly is a comedic take on that very first book, not an original take, Many considered that to be Flemon's weakest ones of his Spy Thriller series due to how badly it tried to make the pitiful Threat to Germania's Chancellor such a serious thing, so Comedic parodies pop everywhere, even in Albion and Francois it did happen to the Point the Author resigned himself and orphaned that very book.
It was Two days before the Grand day, but they had polished the acting to perfection, so Adelaide made tomorrow a day of rest and the day after a more relaxed practice, but even I know that half-assing that would have her pull her best enacting of Argent Silver's best act of the demonic Drill Sergeant when she trained the 203rd.
Day of the Festival
Tanya POV
When Adie first told me she would help those Theater Club idiots with their pathetic play, I knew she would make them regret DEARLY to have dragged her into such amounts of work, so of course I would see HOW reshaped they would be once they played the script Adie personally made for this very day. She had been working on something like that for a while already, just in Manga format.
They would be the second one, and the BB gun club would be last. The Music club did an Ok play of "Cruel Angel Thesis" followed by a 'Motteke Sailor Fuku". And after a brief interval, likely to set all the Background stuff in place, it began.
…
Well, Well, Well…. My dear Adie has quite the tenacity, huh? The Play was nothing less than a Dramatized play of The Infamous Arene Incident, were this to be done in a Germanian or OZEV School, much less one of our not so nice Neighbors, Screams and Cries against such would come, deafening the Local Social medias and spamming the National Journals for a week. Here in the Lands of the Samurai, Tentacle Porn, and Love of Germania-Chan? You would be LAUGHED into NEET life if you raised a fuss over such.
The best part was pretty much the Ending Climax. The poor Soldier, defeated and now at the Mercy of Tanya von Degurechaff, played by Adelaide of course, Asks why she is keeping the Destruction of the once Beautiful Arene going even as the Imperial side won a long time already.
"Why are you doing this? We already Lost, so Please!"
The poor schmuck's voice really was coming like a beaten and about to die sod.
"Why? Huh?" Adie Glances at the Soldier lying under her Boots. "Normally I would talk of Patriotism and that those are my orders – But since it's just us and You're a dead man already…"
An Indifference in her delivery, near Robotic, but cold and sharp, ah, that reminds me of those damn days I would curse left and right, then focus solely on the tasks at hand.
I see a Grin that of course makes anyone but me and dear Husband shiver. "I grew up in an orphanage where I was lucky to eat twice a day and not freeze to death in winter. And then I joined the army. Hot food, warm clothes, a steady paycheck, even a pension! It was everything I dreamed of, and that... is worth fighting for."
A shot, made with a simple Illusion spell, and an echo of a Scream, from the distant landscape out of what we are viewing as spectators.
"Worth Killing for."
Another shot, more distant screams, and now, the Mock Rifle is pointed at the Already dead Soldier's face, as he lets one last pitiful cry, as "Tanya" readies her next and final shot.
"Worth Going to Hell for."
BAAAANG
The last shot echoes even harder, as the Set plunges in darkness and the Curtains drop.
Silence, it was of course quite the play no one would expect a School level Theater Club to do, and of such Intensity it was good enough to MAKE you feel like you had been dragged to that version of Arene. As a Hopeless Citizen who sees that City Burn, all because one side played a stupid game, and the Imperial side delivered their stupid reward.
And as the Lights come, I realize that there's a huge set of vacant chairs around me and Husband, oooops, my fucking Smile came out, my bad, Tee hee.
Adelaide's Father POV
The Theater Club play had been… a shocker, more so knowing it had been a rush job of an Adaptation of the Hobbyist level Manga Adie had been working for a good while already. But she has one more round. The Film Club recorded flick paled in comparison of the powerful hit made by the previous entry, and unlucky be them, Our daughter has them Encircled and ready to become a Frog sandwich.
No one in the School took the BB gun club super serious, after all, their usual Antics were more or less not the worst nor best, so whatever happened to be done by them was forgotten by the piles of whatever else the other clubs or classes did. That's what the Degurechaff Tactical doctrine is suited for, shocking and heavy hitting sudden turnabouts. The many School Students still present were all waiting for some Game like skit that would be the low point of today's plays.
And it was a very strong and sudden break of expectations. A comedic Parody of Flemon's most Infamous "The Spy who didn't love me" entry, and it had been his very first published book no less. The play had as always a Jacques as the promising and ambitious star of the Francois Intelligence service, backed by the AK's Naval Intelligence command. Only for his Job to be stop a hit on Germania's Chancellor.
It's a flawless play of roles, Jacques worsening his situation by causing problems for the BND's counter ops at the would be assassins, him almost triggering the Explosives that would demolish the Bundestag and so much more…. And all those are about the Final Third of the Source material's plot. Then comes the very best part, for the Comedy parodies that is.
Illusion spells make an impressive explosion, as Jacques dropped a whole Ming Vase filled with Nitroglycerin on top of the Chancellor, also Player by Adie. Only for it to do no harm at all, The balcony the now butt of any Intelligence agency's jokes is standing, gives him prime view of Adie, as the Chancellor of Germania, surrounded by half a dozen men armed and ready to gun her down as their last ditch plan Z.
What comes is THE PEAK of a choreographed Fight where Germania's chancellor singlehandedly wipes the floor with those six armed Mages, gunshots ring around, screams and even some perfect imitation of Wilhelm's screams happen, and then six terrorist lie down, beaten by a woman who by all accounts hadn't even used her own Orb.
"WATCH OUT!"
Jacques, stupidly leans over and falls, as a Surprise last Terrorist readies to fire a RPG at her, the rocket pops and Illusion Magic makes it looks as if it is a rocket propelled one. In a swift motion, Adie Feedbacks that rocket back to sender, and jumps catching Dear Jacques in a Bride carry, landing at the Rocket guy just ends exploding, making for a very scenic moment, of Humiliation for the Francois agent, and awesomeness for the Germanian Chancellor. The explosion was of course an Illusion spell, no one would use real firearms here. Aside true Terrorists of course.
"My, My, what we have here? A Frog in Distress?"
The scene cuts right at that scene. Many watching Burst out in laughs at that.
Two Weeks later
Degurechaff's home and Adelaide's life had become under fire of Studios, publishers and even some Famous Movie and Anime big names IMPLORING them for Adie's presence in working with them. All because both Plays she took part in that day blew up in a Viral manner around the entire web. Of course, refusals came aplenty, and all Materials of what Adie worked on, were secretly "sold" to the Degurechaff Estate. That Tanyaism churches played those two aplenty for the Kids who went in their buildings was merely a goodwill gesture by the estate with no hidden intentions whatsoever.
