I Reincarnated and Tried to Become a Genius Child Actor. I Want to Quit. Chapter 11

Last chapter before slower releases! (i.e. my vacation)
Only two chapters from the raws, yay!
Part 2 start.

After making a copy of the notes and returning to the cla.s.sroom, the boring cla.s.s resumed. It is horrible to go to elementary school lessons after becoming an adult. We do one-digit addition. I get sleepy because I get too bored, but I was desperately trying to pay attention seriously because I didn’t attend much. But, I was too busy to learn the ultimate skill of falling asleep with the eyes open. In any case, my cla.s.sroom behavior gets evaluated and reported on. Sorry, I fell asleep.

However, because of my test scores, I tried to take today’s math lessons seriously. I already knew about 90% of it, but I heard a number of stuff for the first time. I didn’t know about rounding half up. Did I learn such a thing in the past? I don’t remember.

I went lunch break after taking 4th period seriously. There is no free lunch in Sakuranagi Academy, but a cafeteria is there instead.

The food at Sakuranagi Academy is delicious and it’s made with the best quality of ingredients, expensive. It’s cheaper than eating at restaurants, but it isn’t something normal people can eat everyday. The seating arrangements are decided by the school cast. It’s painful to look at if someone doesn’t understand this.

I didn’t want people’s eyes in pain, so I brought bento. I don’t know where Ichinomiya’s group sat. Tehe.

If you have a reserved seat, put your name on it.

Well, as there are many students who eat school meals,  cla.s.srooms, terraces, rooftops, and all the other good eating spots are available. The weather was good today, so Sayuri-chan and I ate on the roof.

It wasn’t a roof with just grey tiles like public schools, it had green, and flowers and small trees were planted in various places, so it was like a little garden. There were also tables and chairs, so we could eat comfortably.

There seems to be few people at this time, so we put our bento down on a corner of the roof where there were no people. Sayuri-chan has a lacquered bento that looks expensive, and Ayano has a cute lunch box with the things inside being very small.

I have a so-called doka bento. (1) Even though I’m exercising, I don’t need to eat a lot. A simple bento without a piece of sweet cuteness was out of place, but the contents were packed sweetly with all my mother’s feelings.

Well, it would be great if there was more fried chicken.

“Does no one use that cla.s.sroom?”

“Yeah, I’ll soon have to get that guy in the room. Though, I’m probably going to beat him up.”

“…That guy is Kuroya-kun, isn’t he?”

“Yes, the science preparation room will have people, so does Sayuri-chan and Ayano-chan know of any good places?”

I finished eating and talked to Sayuri-chan and Ayano-chan. Hiroto will talk if we don’t have the “meet up and talk” thing that I promised soon. If Ichinomiya-san sees, it’ll be bad.

I thought that the science prep room would be good, but, since it’s used by Ichinomiya-san, Hiroto and I might be seen. It would be better to talk with Sayuri-chan since I’m not very familiar to the school. She knows the relations.h.i.+p between Hiroto and I.

“Uh, umm… Are Nanami-chan and Kuroya-kun going out?”

“Umm, I saw that Ayano-chan was going out with Hiroto?”

“…I didn’t see that.”

Ayano-chan, who asked that with a little expectation, felt dejected after thinking a little. I won

der if there is a couple that punches with a lever, hits the joints, and then mounts him.

(TL Note: Not that kind of mounting, you people with dirty minds.)

Or so I thought, but unlike a certain pro wrestler, I can’t do that unconditionally.

“We’re just friends. A long time ago, we used to co-star in many movies, and, in-between the filming, we played together.

“I see… Now that I think about it, I saw Kuroya-kun co-starring in a movie! Acting as a lover!”

We acted as lovers several times. We also acted as childhood friends. Once, we acted in a movie as twin brother and sister hit men; for some reason, Hiroto wore female clothes.

“Since Hiroto became an idol, it was only a matter of wanting to play with me because there was a sharp decrease in co-starring at work. I guess it was a matter of him wanting to play with me, but maybe it was that he had no other friends at school?”

Ayano-chan answered, “Umm, I used to see him playing with other boys, but, since he became an idol, Ichinomiya-san and other girls always flocked around him… That’s how it is up until now.”

I guess that was the situation ever since I transferred in. Hiroto, you can do it, ultra-you can do it. He was a little pitiful; I’ll listen to complaining.

“Indeed, if he’s surrounded all the time, he would’ve acc.u.mulated stress. I don’t want to listen to him complaining, what should I do?”

To invite him home is a no. In the unlikely event that we’re found, it could become the newest wide show, “Clandestine Meeting at Home.” Besides, my house isn’t known to the public yet, so that could come undone through Hiroto.

All in all, it’s best to finish it inside school. If I get into trouble, I only have to transfer again

Sayuri-chan said, “Then, what about the old school building?”

“Old school building? Is there such a thing?”

“Yeah, it seems that it’s also used for culture clubs, but, other than that, I heard that the building is rarely used.”

After Sayuri-chan said that, she smiled.

“Bu-but, students who aren’t in culture clubs are banned from entering… And, I heard that there’s ghosts.”

I said back to Ayano-chan, “Hmm, a ghost, huh…”

Ayano-chan squeezed her hands together tightly after she said that. The Seven Wonders of the Academy, I guess. If there is such a rumor, that means that not many people go to the old school building. I should go see it once.

“Then, let’s go to see it tomorrow, because I’m a little busy today.”

I said that then I started flipping through the book in my hands. Sayuri-chan and Ayano-chan looked over.

“‘Introduction to Acting,’ and  ‘Introduction to Directing’? They’re books that might be necessary to Nanami-chan, but…”

“I have to teach someone about acting after school. I’ve never taught other people formally, so I thought that I should give this a read.”

For now, my thoughts while reading were, “Indeed, I don’t understand.”

Stanislavski’s system? Bella Reine’s system? Underground theater? (2)

The books are written in various technical terms, though explanations were included, but everything got mixed up in my head. In the office’s acting lessons, the instructor gives advice on that occasion, for example, by giving a light script and doing improvisational plays, acting on the improvised plays properly at a later date, and so on. So, I’ve never used such technical terms

Well, since there is no reason to be successful if only doing office lessons, I am still practicing acting at home.

It’s easy to co-star. I get practice and I can ask the other actor for advice.

“Being an instructor is completely amazing!”

Ayano-chan’s eyes shone. It doesn’t matter how much you praise me. I brought bananas for a snack, want to eat?

“Well, today, I’ll be with a high schooler, so I’m a bit nervous.”

Like that time with Hiroto, it’s easy to catch a rhinoceros beetle, isn’t it?

There aren’t any other chapters out currently, unfortunately. How about reading a that I translated in the meantime?
