As if realizing that she had overreacted, Mikoto blushed a bit, and said reluctantly, "Then you haven't gone out all this time."

Ayase nodded silently, Mikoto's eyes wandered, she did not meet her gaze, but took out the hand that had been behind her back.

In her hand, she was holding a transparent packaging bag, which contained the popular "Yakisoba Bread - Chef Madam's Improved Version" in the school canteen.

Almost the moment the yakisoba bread appeared in front of her eyes, Ayase smelled a delicious aroma, and her stomach, which was originally empty, became hungry, as if she had a frog gurgling in her stomach.

Meiqin held the chow mein bread, pinched the corner of the packaging bag with her fingers, her knuckles were faintly white and bloodless.

"Here." Mikoto turned her head out of the window and uttered a syllable in a vague voice.

"What?" Ayase was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked.

"I'll eat it for you!" Miqin's cheeks blushed uncontrollably, and the tips of her ears were even redder, as if she was about to bleed.

While talking, she threw the yakisoba bread in her hand to Ayase.It was completely throwing away, regardless of it, and Ayase was in a hurry to catch the bread she threw.

"For me?" Even though the bread was already in his hand, Ayase still asked stupidly.

"Otherwise?" Meiqin gritted her teeth lightly, glared at her angrily, and then said insincerely, "I just accidentally bought an extra piece of bread, and seeing you here alone without eating, Dafa mercifully gave it to you." You. No, don’t think too much about it. It’s definitely not for you.”

While Mikoto was talking, her face became more and more rosy, and when she finished speaking, her entire face became like a ripe apple.

Ayase looked at Mikoto speechlessly, this textbook arrogant reaction made her not even know how to complain.

"Look, what are you looking at? I just don't know what to do with the extra stuff." Mikoto emphasized, seeing that Ayase had already opened the package of yakisoba bread, she stiffly turned her head to the side.

"Okay, okay, thank you." Ayase said while taking a bite of yakisoba bread, and the fragrant juice immediately filled her mouth, instantly giving her a feeling of being alive again. "Eh? Delicious!"

I don't know what Mikoto was thinking, but when she heard Ayase's words, she hummed softly, then turned her head and said, "Then I'm leaving, otherwise Kuroko will be looking for me everywhere again. Don't let the show go this afternoon!"

After finishing speaking, Mikoto didn't need Ayase to answer, and walked out of the activity room with stiff steps.

Ayase ate the bread three times and two times, and her empty stomach was instantly filled.After replenishing the energy and heat, the classroom that felt a little cold just now didn't seem so unbearable anymore.

She looked at the time, and then sent an email to Shi Yu, wanting to ask questions that she hadn't finished talking in the morning.

Shiyu's reply was fast, but the content made Ayase quite entangled: At this time Shiyu had left Tokiwadai and was on his way home.

As for what Ayase wanted to know, Shiwa said in a subsequent reply: You can ask Ayase to go directly to her home to find her tomorrow.

Moreover, Shiwa seemed to understand Ayase's concerns first, and sent another email when Ayase was still struggling with whether to go and how to reply.

The content is very simple, only one line: Don't worry, this time I just explain things to you, and there will be no other accidents.

Ayase looked strange, thought for a long time, and finally agreed to Shiwa's proposal.It just so happens that you don't have to go to school tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you go to Shiyu's house again.

The lunch break passed quickly, and Ayase was sneaky, paying attention to stealth all the way, as if playing Assassin's Creed, sneaked into the preparation room from the back door of the auditorium, avoiding the possible problems of encountering Kirino and the others from the front door.

Sitting alone in the preparation room, Ayase felt a little cold for no reason, so she found another coat and put it on, and after lying on the table for a long time, she felt dizzy and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has passed, but in a daze, Ayase felt someone pushing her.

"Aragaki-san? Aragaki-san? It's time to change clothes." The voice in the ear was not very real. Ayase wanted to open her eyes, but found that her eyelids were unexpectedly heavy.

Ayase hummed unconsciously, propped up her body which felt many times heavier, and climbed up from the table.

The vision in front of her eyes was a little blurry. She waited for a while before her brain reacted slowly.

"Eh? Is it time already?" Ayase looked at the girl next to her who woke her up, nodded, and got up to go to the costume for the performance.

Just when she stood up, her feet suddenly went limp, and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

"Eh? Aragaki-san?!" The girl who was talking to her rushed to pull her, but the moment she first came into contact with Ayase, she exclaimed, "It's so hot!"

Chapter 570 debut

"It's time to change clothes?" Ayase stood up in a daze, the inexplicable heaviness of her body made it difficult for her to lift her eyelids.She left the chair, took two steps forward, suddenly her feet went limp, and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

"Aragaki-san?!"

The girl who woke Ayase up hurriedly went to help her, and the moment she touched Ayase's exposed skin, she exclaimed, "It's so hot!"

The girl helped Ayase up, sat back on the chair, looked at Ayase's complexion, and asked worriedly: "Student Aragaki, your face is so red, are you okay?"

"Huh?" Ayase tilted her head, her mind a little confused.She obviously fell down a moment ago, but the interesting thing is that she didn't feel much pain, but her hands and feet felt soft, like stepping on soft bread.

Since the next show will be a performance by Ayase's class, the preparation room is already full of people.Hearing the movement from Ayase, everyone put down what they were doing and looked at her with concern.

"What's going on?" Mikoto walked over with a long princess dress, looked at Ayase who was half leaning on the back of the chair, and asked the girl next to her.

"I don't know, that's what happened when I woke up Aragaki-san just now." The girl shook her head, pointing at Ayase's cheek worriedly.

At this time, Ayase's face was abnormally morbidly flushed, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but her lips were white and chapped.

Mikoto frowned, stretched out her hand, and as soon as she touched Ayase's forehead, she gasped.

"It's so hot?! Is it a fever?" Mikoto said in a low voice.

"Right? I remembered that in the morning, there was a warm wind in the room, and Xin Yuan was still saying that it was cold." Among the people gathered together, a girl wearing a green peaked hat suddenly stretched out her hand and said.

"It seems that Xin Yuan has been sneezing when reciting the lines." The crowd of onlookers said one after another.

"Cold and fever?" Meiqin took a deep breath, looked around and asked, "Does anyone have any medicine?"

Everyone shook their heads, and one of the girls who seemed to be in charge of logistics said, "I'll go to the medical teacher." The voice was very similar to what Ayase heard in the infirmary in the morning, and it was probably the same person.

With the slamming sound of the door, Ayase came back from a trance.

She blinked, looked around at the people around, and said to Meiqin: "Huh? What are you all doing around me? I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."

As Ayase spoke, more and more sweat flowed down the sides of her cheeks and into her clothes.

"Here, hot water." The girl in the black and purple queen's costume came over, holding a paper cup in her hand, steaming.

Mikoto took the cup, blew on it, squatted down next to Ayase, "Drink some water first." She supported Ayase's back with one hand, and carefully brought the paper cup to Ayase's mouth with the other.

While Mikoto was feeding Ayase to drink, the crowd of onlookers started whispering.

"What should we do? If Aragaki-san falls, the role of the prince will be vacant."

"Yeah, it's too late to find someone else now."

"I have adjusted the costume according to the size of Mr. Aragaki. It is very difficult to find someone with the same figure as Ms. Aragaki."

Thanks to the foundation left by her previous modeling work, even if she doesn't like sports and likes to sit in front of the computer now, she still maintains a perfect body curve.

"Misaka-san, what should we do in the current situation?" After Mikoto got up, everyone's eyes were on her.As the protagonist of this performance, plus the executive member of the class, Meiqin became the backbone of everyone at this time.

"Are you going to tell the student union that something is wrong and then abstain?" asked the person playing the witch.

Miqin's expression was tangled, and her eyes slowly swept over all the people around her, taking in their eyes and expressions—annoyance, uneasiness, and unwillingness.

After rehearsing the play for half a month, in the end, because of two accidents in one day, there was no one to play the prince.In the end, they had no choice but to abstain, not only them, but even Miqin herself was very unwilling.

Mikoto took a deep breath and said decisively: "No, we will continue the performance."

"Huh?" The other people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"But... Xin Yuan is like this, what should the prince do?" asked the same witch.

"Regardless of whether there is a prince or not, we must continue to act. Everyone knows our hard work for half a month, no one will be reconciled, right?" Meiqin's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and her powerful spirit turned into dancing sparks In Yuedong, "It's fine to abstain even after finishing the previous scenes. In short, we can't let everyone's efforts go to waste."

As the person who was dubbed "princess" by the Tokiwadai girls in private, Mikoto already had a strong appeal.After a commotion and whispering, the others nodded.

——Anyway, the worst case is just to abstain. Since everyone is ready to abstain, it is better to show the previous efforts before abstaining.

Besides, the most embarrassing thing to do should be Misaka-san who played the princess, and played the role of Snow White who lay awkwardly in the crystal coffin and didn't meet the prince.

"Then other things remain as usual. Those who have nothing to do stay here and take care of Ayase. Those who have performance tasks, hurry up and change clothes. It's time for us to enter the venue." Under the arrangement, the preparation room quickly returned to its previous state.

Five minutes later, Mikoto glanced at Ayase who was lying on the table and fell asleep again, and the prince's costume next to Ayase, let out a foul breath, and walked out of the preparation room.

……

When Ayase was woken up again, she found herself lying on a clean white bed, the ceiling—somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it this morning.

"This is..." Ayase sat up with her weak arms propped up, feeling dizzy in her mind, and the bright light made her squint her eyes and look around.

"Ah, Aragaki-san, are you awake?" There was a familiar-looking girl sitting next to her, Ayase endured a headache and recalled that she seemed to be her classmate.

"Where is this? How can I..." Ayase looked at the familiar bed opposite, and figured out where she was now, "Nursing room?"

"Yeah, Mr. Aragaki, you suddenly fell down in the preparation room in the afternoon. It seems that you have a cold and a fever."

"Preparation room...preparation...by the way, what about the performance? Has it been postponed?" Ayase's memory began to recover, she turned her head and asked curiously.

"No, the performance has already started." The female student shook her head and replied.

"Is that so... I'm so sorry," Ayase asked apologetically, "I wanted to help, but it turned out to be a waste of help. So in the end, who did I find to take over for me? Hei... ah, Shirai Kuroko classmate?"

After hearing Ayase's question, the girl didn't answer, but lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Huh?" Ayase looked at the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart.

Under her questioning, the female classmate murmured, "Because time is too late...so, Misaka-san went to the performance directly, there is no prince..."

"What?" Ayase raised her head suddenly, looked at the time, and found that nearly half an hour had passed since the opening of the play.

In other words, it's almost time to end.

"Eh? What are you doing, Aragaki-san?" the female student said anxiously, she stood up and tried to stop Ayase from getting out of bed, "The school doctor said you need to rest, otherwise the temperature that just dropped will..."

Before the girl finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ayase, who stood on the ground and jumped twice, "Look, I'm fine now."

Resisting the urge to sit on the ground, Ayase forced a smile.

"Eh? But..." The female classmate obviously had never experienced such a scene, she looked at Ayase helplessly. "There's nothing but, you see there's not much time left now, maybe it's still too late for me to run to catch up with the last prince's appearance."

"But the school doctor just went out to get the medicine, and you need an infusion..." the female student stammered.

"So, don't you think I'm ready?" Ayase picked up her school uniform jacket from the side, and went straight past the female classmates, "Then I'll go back to the auditorium first, and you can help explain to the school doctor here, please la~"

After saying this, Ayase ran out of the health room in a hurry before the female classmate could react, turning a deaf ear to the shouting of the female classmate behind her.

The distance from the medical room to the auditorium is not far, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk, but it takes less than 5 minutes to run.

However, for Ayase, these 5 minutes were an extremely long 5 minutes.After running less than 100 meters, she realized what it means to "sweat profusely".In normal times, even if Ayase's physical fitness has regressed a lot, she can still run to the auditorium in one go.

"Whoa, whoa..." Ayase panted heavily, and the cold air rushed directly into the respiratory tract, irritating the thin tracheal wall painfully.As her body shook while running, her head was about to explode in pain.His legs seemed to be filled with lead, and sweat dripped down his forehead, blurring his vision.

Ayase only felt that her mouth was dry and her throat was on fire, and in a trance, her body temperature, which had returned to normal, showed signs of rising again.

But there was no time for her to stop and rest, or to find a thermometer to take her temperature.Ayase was panting heavily, her chest was heaving violently, she was standing at the back door of the auditorium with her hands on her knees.At this time, 7 minutes had passed since she came out of the infirmary.

She put the phone back in her pocket, casually wiped the sweat off her forehead, and walked into the backstage of the auditorium panting like a broken bellows.

At this time, Ayase's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, her hair was wet against her neck, and white smoke was billowing from the top of her head.

"The fever seems... more serious?" Ayase let out a breath and murmured in a low voice, leaning on the wall with one hand to support her body so as not to fall to the ground halfway.

Fortunately, the distance from the back door to the preparation room was not far, so Ayase quickly walked to the door, opened it and walked in.

In the preparation room, several girls in charge of logistics were watching the broadcast on the wall-mounted TV. When they heard someone open the door, they turned their heads to look at the door, and shouted in surprise: "Xin, Xinyuan?"

Ayase waved her hands, looked up at the TV, panted and asked, "Where is the show now?"

"Are you okay?" The girl in charge of modifying Ayase's clothes walked towards her and replied at the same time, "Now Snow White just ate the poisoned apple given by the Queen."

"You still have time……"

"Eh?" The girl in charge of clothing was taken aback and asked, "What's too late?"

"I'm changing clothes now, so I should be able to catch up with the prince's appearance in the last scene." Ayase left the wall with her hands, moved her legs with difficulty, and walked towards the table where the clothes were placed.

"But Aragaki-san, you are in this state..." The girl followed beside Ayase with her hands raised in mid-air, not knowing whether to stop her or help her pass.

"No problem, it's just that I'm a little tired from running here. In the infirmary just now, the school doctor said I'm fine." Ayase lied and explained with a smile on her face.

"Ha... is, is that so? Haha." An embarrassed smile appeared on the girl's face—compared with her current appearance, Ayase's words were not convincing at all.Whether it's a pale complexion or sweating on his forehead, it doesn't look like he is in good health.

Ayase glanced at the TV screen again, at this time Snow White had eaten the apple and fell to the ground.

"Help me, I can't wear this dress myself." Ayase felt that without saying a word, all the strength in her body was exhausted, and she needed to spit out all the air in her lungs to let her voice pass to the side in people's ears.

Putting her arms on the table so that her body would not shake, Ayase looked sideways at the girl who was in charge of clothing, "It's just an anticlimactic end, is that okay?"

Compared with Ayase's sick face, her eyes seemed to be burning, and she looked directly at the female classmate beside her with determination.

"This..." The girl in charge of clothing hesitated, tightly pursed her lips, and looked at Ayase.In the end, she clenched a fist in one hand and hung on the palm of the other, and said to the other logistics staff who were watching: "Come here and help! Time is running out, we only have..."

She paused, looked at Ayase, calculated in her mind the time from the preparation room to behind the stage, and then said: "We only have 3 minutes, and we should try to omit the steps that can be omitted."

The other girls looked at each other and nodded at Ayase, with an excited look on their faces.

Seven minutes later, Ayase, wearing a prince's costume, came to the back of the stage with the support of several other logistics girls.
