The original work of "Three Years" is already a national-level masterpiece, and it was adapted by the Dream Travelers band themselves. With the blessing of the two, it has attracted unprecedented attention, and it is even more difficult to get a ticket in the theater.

If Chino hadn't given Aria a ticket, she, a common girl selling desserts, would have been unable to get a ticket even if she had to squeeze through the crowd.

Today is her first date with Chino, which can be said to be the most important day in her life. Aria took out the cosmetics that she was usually reluctant to use and put on a set of very delicate makeup, which made her look more refined than usual.

In order to look good, she didn't mind the heat at all. Not only did she wear a lace linen dress, but she also wore a white shirt underneath. With her warm-sun-like smile, she was full of the intellectual beauty of her youth.

Outside Aria's dessert shop, a luxuriously decorated carriage was already waiting here. This was the special car sent by Kino to pick up Aria. Under the envious gazes of the passing civilians, Aria was transported all the way to the entrance of the theater.

Outside the theater, the people responsible for the security check were all Twilight City soldiers. In addition, Aria was an acquaintance of Kino, so they let her in without even searching her body. There were also soldiers who were responsible for leading the way. They greeted her and treated her with courtesy and respect along the way.

Aria, a commoner girl, had never enjoyed such treatment as an "administrator's wife". She was flattered throughout the whole process, and felt like a deer in her heart.

Soon, she was taken to the most exclusive VIP box.

No matter in his previous life or now, Chino would sit in the top VIP seats for any performance - not to highlight his status or show off his wealth, but to enjoy the best effects of the performance. As for the price, he was never stingy.

For this Dream Traveler Orchestra performance, the box reserved by Chino is located on an elevated floor at 27.5 degrees directly in front of the stage. From an anatomical point of view, when watching a play from this angle, the neck will be in a naturally stretched state, and you can watch it for several hours.

You will feel tired, and because you are close to the stage, you can perfectly appreciate the actors' faces, dialogue lines, stage performance effects, etc.

As for the price, of course it’s free.

No matter how great the Dream Travelers are, they are still just a band after all. When they tour to Twilight City, they naturally want to please Chino, the leader of Twilight City. VIP box seats with top-level treatment like this have been locked up by the band and are not sold to the outside world.

Reserved exclusively for Chino free of charge.

If the local leaders have requests, such as bringing parents, children, colleagues, etc., the orchestra will leave a few more seats. Anyway, they will comply with all requests from the top.

Although Kino has no parents or children, he has many colleagues, but today is a date with Aria. In order to give her the best viewing experience, he did not let anyone accompany him. There were only two seats in the box for the two.

People create space for solitude.

Kino wore a tailor-made aristocratic dress today. The top-quality fabric was cut to fit perfectly. Her delicate face against the clothes was so haunting that she looked like a prince from a fairy tale.

As soon as Aria entered the box, Kino looked at her with a smile: "Good evening, Miss Aria, I hope you will enjoy the performance tonight."

Aria sat down next to Kino, with her legs together and lying on her side, her face flushed, and she smiled sweetly: "I really didn't expect that this day would really come..."

"You never know what will happen in the next second. This is life." There seemed to be some meaning in Kino's eyes, and his smile seemed leisurely and profound. "You said, if someone can predict the future, that person's life will still be better.

Does it make sense?”

Aria tilted her little head and said thoughtfully: "Well... everyone has their own opinion on this kind of thing, right? If I could predict the future, I would definitely predict many things, such as my future

Who is my husband?...Will my children be a boy or a girl, or twins?...Will I live a happy life?...At what age will I die?..."

"If I knew the future early, my life might lose a lot of freshness, but my mood would become calmer. I would think - oh, the future results are destined to be like this anyway, so I will quickly enjoy the present and then live in peace and quiet.

Just move towards this result.”

"Girls! Of course stability is the most important thing~"

Kino asked with great interest: "Really? Then I have a question. As the administrator of Twilight City, I look very prosperous on the surface, but you should also know that I have many enemies secretly. The political enemies within the kingdom are not needed.

Having said that, there are also those extraterrestrial visitors who come and go without a trace. I can say that they are walking on the edge of death every day, and it is very dangerous to get too close to me.

"So, when you are around me, do you feel a sense of crisis?"

"To be honest, there will be a little..." Aria pushed her hair behind her ears and said the second half of the sentence with a smile, "But there is also a sense of security!"

Kino: "How many?"

"It's also a little bit." Aria deliberately leaned into Chino's ear and whispered playfully, "But it's a little bit more of a sense of crisis~"

Kino smiled lightly and turned to face Aria. The two were so close, each other's lips were only an inch away from each other. His voice was full of magnetism and mystery: "Do you think we are now

What should be done?”

Aria's face was already red, as if she was about to bleed. She closed her eyes at a loss and murmured in a low voice: "I listen to you..."

Just when Aria was waiting for a kiss, it was not Kino's lips that touched her lips, but fingers wrapped in white gloves.

Kino tapped Aria's red lips, smiled and said, "Of course you should concentrate on the stage play now. This is a sign of respect for the actors."

Aria subconsciously opened her eyes and found that the performance had already begun. She stuck out her tongue, sat up straight, and looked at the stage.

There was no electricity in this era, so there were no such gorgeous stage lighting effects. The scene relied entirely on acting and soundtrack to support the scene.

But the Dream Travelers Orchestra is worthy of being a veteran orchestra. They have prepared a large number of candles made of alchemical substances, which are colorful after being lit. Together with the flying rope hanging curtain and dry ice fog, the stage effect is no worse than the top opera that Chino watched in his previous life.

How many.

On both sides of the stage, candles lit up a vast white light, filling the entire stage like milk. Combined with the dry ice mist floating out, and the sound of frogs, birds chirping, and insects singing from the backstage... suddenly there was a sense of night.

The beauty of the moonlight.

As the figure swayed, the male protagonist of "The Years Gone" wore a dark cloak unique to the devil, with two horns on his head. He walked out of the mist like an owl beast, and said to himself sadly: "I can't sleep tonight.

Just because I caught a glimpse of her face, but we are like the sun and the stars and the moon, and it is hard to describe when we meet."

The devil walks alone in the fog, a creature that is born without understanding love. When it encounters love, it becomes confused and lost, unable to understand, but unable to resist.

Accompanied by the clear moonlight, an angel as white as winter snow came slowly from the other side, walking lightly. She gently held her hands in front of her chest and whispered faintly: "I can't sleep tonight, just because I looked at each other by the window."

, but we are born different, we can only pity ourselves."

The angel stood covered with moonlight, looking up at the vast night sky. The white light reflected in his pupils seemed to blend with the clear water eyes, flawless and pure.

The first scene at the opening of the stage is gripping, as the devil and the angel form a bond because of one look at each other.

Because of the inherent lack of emotion, the devil doesn't know that he has fallen in love with the angel, and he doesn't know what the inexplicable throbbing in his heart means.

The angel is different. She knows very well that she has fallen in love with the devil, but because she is worried about her identity, she dare not face the emotions in her heart, so she can only feel sad under the moon.

In the vague lingering, under the watery moonlight, the two people who were alone and sad obviously did not meet in advance, but they seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, and they both came to this garden for a stroll.

Finally, under the moonlit apple tree, they met each other...

...

The main content of the first act is the emergence of love between the devil and the angel. They guard each other even though they are apart, spend a lingering time that I don’t know whether it can be called love, rely on each other, achieve each other, and finally end up kissing each other.

The song brings the first act to a climax.

However, there was something wrong with the final performance. Judging from the action design, the heroine needed to make a ballet-like swan pirouette, fall into the hero's arms, and the two completed a romantic kiss.

However, during the actual performance, the heroine accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. The atmosphere that had been built up previously was destroyed by this fall and turned into a farce.

For the Dream Travelers band, this kind of mistake is not a rare problem, but absolutely impossible. No member will tolerate others or themselves making such low-level mistakes.

Even if this type of low-level mistake occurs during rehearsal, the lightest consequence will be forced practice behind closed doors and a ban from the stage for two years. If the consequences are serious, you will be directly expelled from the orchestra, or even blacklisted by the performing guild.

And like now, wrestling in front of the top leaders of the touring city during a performance, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

But the reality is so shocking. This kind of low-level mistake only made by rookies appears in the major adaptation of "The Years and Times" and among the top dancers of "Dream Traveler".

At this time, fine beads of sweat appeared on the neck of the heroine and the actress, shivering like a fledgling, her eyes evasive, not daring to look at the box where the executive was.

Fortunately, the male and female protagonists are both experienced actors. If they make mistakes, they will not panic and apologize like rookies. They have completely assumed the roles and directly added temporary scenes on the scene. I saw that the male protagonist took advantage of the situation and incorporated the accident of "falling" into the plot.

Lovingly, he leaned over and picked up the heroine, holding her in his arms and kissing her.

In this way, with the adaptability of the two actors, the scene was more or less restored, and the overall effect was not significant.

What's more subtle is that, whether it was the accident of falling just now or the wit of the temporary rescue, the performance on the field did not seem to cause much emotional feedback from the audience. Everyone just looked at the stage silently, silently...

...

The first act ends with a ten-minute break.

You can't eat too much in the theater, but you can eat some small packaged things. Chino picked up a toffee from the plate next to him, tore off the package and put it in his mouth, biting it with his tiger teeth. He didn't give one to Aria either.

Instead, he asked casually: "There are often performances at the Twilight City Theater. Do you usually come to the theater?"

"Yes." Aria said with a smile.

Chino: "What show are you watching?"

Aria: "Love drama~"

Kino: "Why?"

Aria pursed her lips slightly, leaned into Chino's ear, and said in a naughty tone: "In a romantic drama, learn how women deceive men~"

"Click." Kino crushed another toffee with his tiger teeth and chewed it slowly, but still did not pass the candy to Aria.

Aria blinked and asked curiously: "What about you? Will you come to watch a romantic drama?"

Chino: "Yes."

Aria: "Why?"

Kino turned his face sideways, his eyes flickering under the candlelight, dark and mysterious: "A romantic drama, let's see how men are deceived by women."

The two faced each other with smiles, no one said anything, and there was only the sound of candlelight flickering around them.

...

Soon, the second act began.

Logically speaking, the second act should be the most exciting part, because from here on, "The Years and Times" integrates the love in the first act into the huge world pattern.

Demons and angels face an era of constant war. They rise and fall under the huge waves of the era, and various characters rise and fall around them, depicting scenes of epic scenes that are both evocative and tragic.
To be continued...
