Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Stelle’s honeyed tongue! The heartless line repeater, Dan Heng!

『 [ Next is the Wise Monkey who guides the hero... ]

[ Actor Dan Heng, I think your temperament fits perfectly. ]

After some thought, Mr. Reca assigned the role of the Wise Monkey to Dan Heng.

[ Feel free. ]

Dan Heng didn’t really care what role he played.

[ Finally, the antagonist, the Devil of Stress. I think... I’ll leave it to you—Actor Stelle! ]

Mr. Reca handed the role of the Devil of Stress to Stelle.

[ I’m the villain? For real? ]

[ Do I look like a Devil? ]

[ Also, this role doesn’t even have written lines! ] 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Stelle: "Damn, why do I have to play the villain?"

Stelle: "Does my temperament really scream ’villain’?"

Silver Wolf: "Doesn’t it?"

Silver Wolf: "I feel like as long as you just let yourself go, you’d be playing yourself."

Himeko Murata: "Haha, objectively speaking, among the few of us present, only Stelle can really bring out that villainous vibe."

Himeko Murata: "The others would probably be more or less held back."

Welt Yang: "Indeed, this only proves Stelle’s superb acting skills, worthy of the title of a superstar!"

Stelle: "Uh... even if you put it that way, a role with no written lines still makes it hard to get excited."

Mr. Reca: "In my view, that is actually a good thing."

Mr. Reca: "Without the constraints of lines, you only need to heartily express the villainous performance as you perceive it."

Mr. Reca: "And this demands even greater acting skills!"

Furina de Fontaine: "Improvising on the spot indeed tests an actor’s ability severely."

Furina de Fontaine: "From this perspective, among the people present, only Miss Stelle is up to the task!"

Dan Heng: "It’s quite good. After all, besides the narrator, this is the only role that gets to speak normal lines."

Dan Heng: "Like the Wise Monkey and Hero Monkey I’m playing, it’s just ’banan-banan-banana’ all the way through..."

Stelle: "Ah, well... that’s true."

Stelle: "Alright then, the hardest role indeed has to be left to me!"

March 7th: "This looks so fun!"

March 7th: "Too bad, why was I absent from this scene?"

Yunli: "Even if you weren’t absent, there wouldn’t be a role left for you here."

Stelle: "Isn’t that simple? Just add one!"

Stelle: "Wasn’t there some Banana Sacred Sword or something?"

Stelle: "Let March play the Devil of Stress, and I’ll play the Sword Spirit of the Banana Sacred Sword!"

Stelle: "Wouldn’t this script be way more interesting than the previous one?"

Qingque: "You genius! I envy your talent!"

....

『 [ A contradictory villain requires exquisite acting, and free lines demand even deeper expertise. This is the most difficult role, it must be you! ]

Mr. Reca patiently explained to Stelle.

[ Hold on! What about this one? ]

Rappa pointed to herself.

[ Oh, sorry, all the roles in the script have been assigned... ]

[ But we also need someone to play the narrator! ]

[ Actor Rappa, it must be you! ]

Mr. Reca handed the task of reciting the narration to Rappa.

[ As a grand Ninja Hero, I only get to recite the narration... Very well. ]

Rappa nodded and accepted the task.

[ Everyone, start when you’re ready. The assistant director’s camera is already eager to go. ]

Mr. Reca left some time for everyone to prepare.

Afterward, the three of them went to a corner, pretending to prepare while secretly discussing.

[ You two, if there are no surprises, the Dragon Fiendling will also show its tail in this classroom. ]

Rappa spoke first, saying with absolute certainty.

[ Just now, Mr. Reca took over the words of the BananAdvisor several times to control the direction of the teaching. Did he also notice something? ]

Dan Heng was pondering Mr. Reca’s behavior just now.

[ Are you all ready? ]

[ Don’t we need to rehearse a bit? ]

While Dan Heng and Rappa were thinking about serious business, only Stelle was genuinely thinking about the upcoming performance.

[ ...All the monkeys have the same lines, there isn’t much to prepare... ]

Regarding this question, Dan Heng shook his head helplessly.

[ Hmm, this one must carefully contemplate how to display the Dazzling Ninja Path in the narration... ] 』

『 ....』

March 7th: "Hahaha, Dan Heng’s helpless expression is absolutely hilarious."

Dan Heng: "For a role with no lines, there really isn’t anything to prepare."

Dan Heng: "It saved me some effort, too."

Paimon: "That’s great, it’s a role even Paimon could easily play!"

Lumine: "That’s way too easy, at least give them a few lines!"

Qingque: "They do have lines!"

Qingque: "’Banan-banan-banana’ are their lines!"

Yunli: "Hilarious, this kind of plot looks like playing house for three-year-olds."

Stelle: "Sigh, it’s not hot-blooded or exciting at all."

Stelle: "There are no ups and downs in the plot either."

Stelle: "If only this were a script written by Director Hanabi."

Hanabi: "Little gray hair, you quite like the scripts I write, don’t you?"

Lumine: "Miss Hanabi’s rehearsed scripts are indeed good, but they are just too realistic."

Lumine: "They easily make the people involved break into a cold sweat."

Silver Wolf: "The thrill is the whole point!"

Boothill: "Son of a nice lady..."

Boothill: "You guys are still putting on a show here."

Boothill: "Folks, hurry up and do some real work!"

Rappa: "Silvergun Shura, this is precisely doing real work!"

Rappa: "The Galactic Ninja Scroll says: ’Knowing there are monkeys in the mountain, head straight for the monkey mountain!’"

Rappa: "We are currently in the process of heading to the monkey mountain, so we can gradually reveal the true Monkey King behind these fiendlings!"

....

『 [ Young actors, are you ready, bana? ]

After discussing for a while, the three of them came before the BananAdvisor.

[ We are ready. ]

Stelle replied.

[ Then get on stage quickly! ]

[ Mr. Reca, prepare to roll, bana! ]

The BananAdvisor urged Mr. Reca to start filming.

[ Actors, to your positions— 3, 2, 1... ]

[ ACTION! ]

Mr. Reca counted down, and the performance officially began!

[ The dreamland of flowing colors, the whimsical academy, the joyous party, the grand banquet, is about to begin! ]

After the camera rolled, Rappa first recited the narration in her rap style.

[ Wait, student, what are you reciting, bana? ]

The BananAdvisor urgently called a halt and looked at Rappa with a bewildered face.

[ This is the Ninja Mantra. Embellishing words with spells rich in Ninja Power will surely make the shadow play a hundred times more splendid. ]

Rappa explained quite seriously.

[ ... ]

[ I knew this student was unreliable... ]

[ Forget it, the content other than the Slumbernana Monkey isn’t important anyway. ] 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

March 7th: "Ahaha... that’s indeed a very trendy narration..."

Mualani: "Can narration be recited like that?"

Mualani: "So cool!"

Mualani: "I’ve learned something!"

Stelle: "Does the Dazzling Ninja consider debuting as a rap star?"

Stelle: "When the time comes, if you and I team up, we can definitely form a superstar ninja duo!"

Asta: "Eh? That actually seems possible!"

Asta: "Although rap seems quite niche, when put into the audience of the entire universe, it’s not niche at all!"

Rappa: "Become a rap star?"

Rappa: "But this is actually the Ninja Mantra, not rap."

Guinaifen: "Never mind what it’s called, at least it sounds similar."

Guinaifen: "Anyway, I think Miss Rappa’s rap... ah no, Ninja Mantra, is really professional!"

Guinaifen: "Debuting is absolutely no problem!"

Rappa: "Ahem... regarding this question, this one has truly never thought about it."

Rappa: "But if there’s an opportunity, this one can give it a try."

Rappa: "After all, for a Ninja Hero, letting more people hear the Ninja Mantra is also an honor!"

....

『 [ Then this one shall continue—Monsters breed in the hearts of people, the banquet turns to ashes, laughter turns to wailing, the passing hero lends a hand. ]

Rappa finished her narration, and it was Stelle’s turn to perform as the big Devil.

[ It’s my line... need to think of some arrogant words? ]

With no lines, Stelle could only improvise.

[ Ahem!! ]

[ I finally get to make a cosmic profanity* appearance! All you *cosmic profanity* students are a*cosmic profanity* bunch of losers! Yeah, go ahead, and *cosmic profanity* remember that! That I *cosmic profanity* cussed at you,*cosmic profanity* at your own *cosmic profanity* Paperfold University! ]

After much thought, Stelle believed she needed to be a bit down-to-earth.

So, she directly delivered a few warm greetings full of emotion! 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

March 7th: "?"

Silver Wolf: "?"

Qingque: "??"

Lumine: "Uh..."

Furina de Fontaine: "What a... realistic, simple, and down-to-earth performance!"

Paimon: "Why did I only hear bleeping sounds?"

Paimon: "What did Miss Stelle say?"

Seele: "Nothing, she just had a mouth full of honey."

March 7th: "So vulgar! Good thing there’s muting in the live stream, otherwise it would definitely corrupt the kids!"

Dan Heng: "Ahem, these lines were delivered a bit too wildly."

Dan Heng: "I suggest toning it down a bit."

Stelle: "Eh?"

Stelle: "There’s nothing wrong with it. What kind of nice words do you expect to come out of a Devil’s mouth?"

Stelle: "Aren’t I striving to realistically restore the image of a Devil?"

Yunli: "But why does your Devil have some strange accents?"

Stelle: "Oh, that’s called being down-to-earth!"

Stelle: "Performances must appeal to both refined and popular tastes!"

Stelle: "All these details must be controlled in every aspect!"

Lingsha: "Hahaha, you’re killing me."

Lingsha: "Your serious nonsense actually sounds quite reasonable~"

Hanabi: "Sigh, little gray hair, your lines lack depth."

Hanabi: "Remember, aggressive words are never just about swearing!"

Hanabi: "There must be a psychological attack involved, so that they can pierce into others’ hearts like sharp thorns, unable to be pulled out~"

Hu Tao: "Oh boy, professional!"

Hu Tao: "It still has to be Miss Hanabi who knows her stuff!"

....

『 [ Fail! ]

[ Too vulgar! ]

Hearing Stelle’s outburst, the BananAdvisor commented angrily from the side.

[ Bana, bana! ]

It was the Hero Monkey’s turn to speak, and Nanabloom-chan quickly uttered a few bana sounds.

[ Fail! Brave Monkey is the savior of our university! It would never utter such dainty Banagibberish! ]

The bana sound made by Nanabloom-chan left the BananAdvisor very dissatisfied.

[ S-Sorry, bana! ]

[ Let me do it again—Banan, banan-banan! ]

Nanabloom-chan adjusted her state and made a few more bana sounds.

[ The shameless cold sneer of the evil creates boundless misery, the selfless holy sword of the hero unsheathes, vowing to dispel the poison. ]

Rappa’s narration continued, and the performance moved to the next part.

[ Bana bana! ]

This time, Nanabloom-chan made a very imposing bana sound.

[ You’re messing it up again! ]

[ Brave Monkey hasn’t gained the power to defeat the Devil of Stress at this point. How can it possibly have so much grit? ]

Just as Nanabloom-chan finished her bana sound, the BananAdvisor scolded again!

[ S—Sorry, bana... I’ll try again... B—Bana, bana... ] 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Yunli: "I’m completely dumbfounded..."

Yunli: "Is this really not insulting our intelligence?"

Yanqing: "If you treat it as a comedy... maybe it’s passable?"

Yanqing: "Mainly because this script is just too much..."

Yanqing: "The key characters can only make meaningless bana sounds..."

Qingque: "The lines are almost non-existent, but that BananAdvisor’s requirements are quite high!"

Boothill: "Son of a nice lady, what’s with all this banan-ing around?"

Boothill: "If I were there, I’d definitely make this fool listen to the sound of bullets!"

Boothill: "Let’s see if it still has so much crap to say!"

....

『 [ (It’s my turn now. I should say something demeaning to Brave Monkey...) ]

It was the turn of the big Devil, played by Stelle again.

[ You little *cosmic profanity*! Give up on that *cosmic profanity* act of yours already, or I’m gonna *cosmic profanity* you upside-down! ]

Looking at Nanabloom-chan, Stelle gave another friendly greeting with an arrogant expression.

[ O mighty Aeon of The Hunt! Such vile tongue-lashing! Surpassing that of even Evil Ninja’s Dispiteous Curse! ]

Stelle swore so dirtily that even Rappa’s face changed!

[ Fail! If I hear one more swear word from you, you’ll be penalized for breaking the school rules! ]

The BananAdvisor was about to die of anger! 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

March 7th: "The episode where I support the Adviser the most!"

March 7th: "That swearing was indeed too dirty!"

Stelle: "?"

Stelle: "That’s exactly what the script required this time, wasn’t it?"

Stelle: "To make me insult the Hero Monkey."

Stelle: "Also, the sound was muted, and there were no subtitles. You don’t even know what I said, so on what basis do you think I swore dirtily!"

Stelle: "This is slander!"

Dan Heng: "It can be seen from the fact that Miss Rappa’s face, which has barely changed, suddenly became extremely shocked this time..."

Amber: "Miss Rappa’s expression just now was indeed quite shocked."

Stelle: "Ah, well..."

Stelle: "Don’t misunderstand, don’t develop any bad filters on me!"

Stelle: "I am actually a very civilized person, this was all for the performance!"

Paimon: "Mm-hmm, we don’t doubt Miss Stelle’s character at all!"

Paimon: "And indeed, it was required by the script!"

Stelle: "Exactly!"

Stelle: "I couldn’t just say, ’Hero Monkey, you’re such a silly billy’—a line with absolutely no aggressiveness, right?"

Stelle: "Then it really would be playing house!"

Mr. Reca: "Striving for realism!"

Mr. Reca: "Actor Stelle’s performance concept is perfectly fine!"

....

『 [ Bana, bana... ]

After being scolded, the Hero Monkey, played by Nanabloom-chan, angrily made a few bana sounds at the big Devil played by Stelle.

[ Accidentally falling into the abyss, bearing the humiliation of defeat. ]

[ The master visits this place, the hero listens and watches closely— ]

After the narration, it was finally Dan Heng’s turn to perform.

[ Bana, bana bana. ]

[ ..."Bana bana," bana. ]

With an expressionless face, like a heartless repeater, Dan Heng finished reciting his lines.

[ You... tsk, your lines are fine, next sentence! ]

The BananAdvisor nodded in satisfaction. 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

March 7th: "Pfft!"

March 7th: "Oh my god, I really can’t hold it in!"

Stelle: "Dan Heng actually remembered exactly how many banas’ there were in the lines and where to pause!"

Stelle: "So dedicated, I’m crying!"

Welt Yang: "...Dan Heng, you’ve really worked hard."

Dan Heng: "(bitter_smile.jpg)".
