“If it’s not here, it might be in the attic. After I finished writing the script, I went to these two places.”

Having said this, Zosimos was a little embarrassed, “But, uh, the stage needs to be prepared a little more. I’m really a little bit too busy to move around. Can you two please…”

Ying nodded, “Okay…”

Paimon also agreed: “Well, we’ll come as soon as we go.”

Ying and Paimon set out to find the script.

Zosimus then began to examine.

“There should be no problem with the mechanism of the Thorn Board…the lights, and the radio…”

The water friends were all amused by Zosimos’ words.

“”should”.”

“no problem.”

“Can such an important word be used in this way? Are you really not afraid of something happening (doge)?”

On the other side, Ying and Paimon had arrived at the attic.

Looking at the full bookshelves in the attic, Paimon was very surprised, “Wow, there are so many books here… But where is the master script he wants?”

“Gu?”

Suddenly, a water-shaped phantom appeared.

Ying and Paimon came to the bookshelf area on the second floor where the water-shaped eidolon was.

“Goo!”

The water eidolon pointed to the script next to it and showed it to Ying and Paimon.

“Ah, there are several scripts here.” Paimon said with a smile: “It turns out that ‘Little Shuizhu’ has been managing the scripts written by Mr. Director…”

Paimon glanced at the scripts, “Well, it feels like most of them are only half-written…”

“Since it is the “master script” of the performance…”

Ying looked at the scripts thoughtfully.

Paimon added: “It must be a complete portion! Let’s look at the thickness first, and then look at the end…”

“Among so many scripts, there is only one that meets the requirements. And this one looks relatively new, it should have just been written.”

“Let’s take it to Mr. Zosimos!”

Paimon said to Ying.

Afterwards, Ying and Paimon returned to the theater with the script.

As soon as they entered, Paimon shouted: “Mr. Zosimos, we have brought the script back!”

“Thank you. It’s been a great help.” After thanking Zosimos, he said with emotion, “Sigh… time is short, and there is no way to restore the stage to its best condition. We can only take it one step at a time.”

“The important thing is not the stage, but the performance. Even if something goes wrong on the stage, as long as the performance can continue…”

Paimon couldn’t help but ask: “Why is your voice so lacking in confidence?”

“I figured it out, the performance itself is an accident!” Zosimos said seriously: “Even if it is the same play, there will be subtle differences in every performance, and those differences are what make it different from other performances! ”

Zosimos’s attitude made everyone start teasing him.

“Code that works is good code.”

“As long as you don’t report an error, it’s good!”

“You guys just improvise.”

But after hearing his words, Ying shook her head and said, “It makes sense, but you can’t convince me.”

“Alas…” Zosimos sighed, and then continued: “I have one last request, Ying, can you enter the “Pre-formed Picture”?”

“To be honest, my stage is actually made of “pre-made pictures”… I first use materials to make objects, and then turn them into part of the “pre-made pictures”.”

“Originally, ‘pre-formed pictures’ are used to construct mirages. Turning various things into ‘pre-formed pictures’ like I do is a bit putting the cart before the horse.”

“But Miss Edea said that if this is what I wanted to do, she reluctantly accepted it…”

“So that’s what it means to violate the original intention.” Paimon nodded, and then asked doubtfully: “Then what do you need us to do?”

Zosimos explained: “I would like to invite you to enter the stage of “Pre-Made Pictures” and operate the props during the performance…”

Ying joked: “This is the so-called ‘mastermind’…”

Zosimos scratched his head, “Oh, if there is a reason…”

“Is it to witness the performance on stage?”

Ying saw his plan.

“Ah, that’s it.” Paimon also understood, “Zosimus has always been a director, and he has to operate props and mechanisms on stage… he is simply too busy…”

Zosimos nodded, “Well, I know my ability is not as good as those mature playwrights, but…”

“Even if it’s an immature work that’s ‘incomprehensible’ and ‘I don’t know what it’s about’, I still hope to see it in person in the audience.”

Paimon spread his hands, “It’s all about this…”

Yingye nodded and said: “We are happy to help.”

“I’m so grateful!” After receiving Ying’s affirmative reply, Zosimos said excitedly: “Then I will inform the others now. When you are ready, we will start the performance immediately

! ”

After Zosimos called everyone to the theater, the performance began.

Ying entered the “Pre-made Picture” and prepared to operate the props.

Zosimos spoke first as the narrator.

“A long time ago, there was a great thief. He lived in a country without light, and everyone suffered from darkness…”

Thief Kaia: “The world calls me…”

Zosimos quickly reminded in a low voice: “Wait a minute, Mr. Kaia, you have to face the radio…otherwise the sound will be biased…”

Water friends were all amused by this small theater performance.

“A land without light, Kanria, right?”

“I also feel like it’s a hint to Canrea.”

“So cute hahahaha~”

At this time, the performance continued.

Thief Kaia: “The world calls me the ‘Dagger Thief’, but they don’t know my righteous deeds of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.”

“Alas, in this dark place, those who act in the shadows become more and more unscrupulous, and those who have to fumble forward become more and more miserable.”

Narrator Zosimos: “While the thief was in distress, something suddenly happened in the world, and a meteor streaked across the sky…”

At this point in the performance, Zosimos whispered to Ying in the first picture: “Ying, step on the moving mechanism in front…”

Ying followed his words and stepped on it.

When she stepped on the mechanism, the stars in the picture began to move, like meteors streaking across the night sky.

Thief: “Okay, even though it was only for a moment, the light shone throughout the world…”

“If I can find that light, I can illuminate the darkness, and then everyone will no longer suffer from the darkness.”

In the first picture, Kaia chases the meteor.

“Brother or sister who was summoned to Canria?”

“Isn’t this the story of Canrea?”

“Before the dawn comes, someone has to light up the darkness a little.”

As Kaia chases the meteor, the narration begins again.

“The thief immediately followed the trajectory of the meteor, and the star kept moving…and kept moving…”

Kanying didn’t notice the hint, so Zosimos reminded him in a low voice again: “Ying, that star keeps moving forward…”
