My girlfriend is actually myself.

Chapter 69 Those Straight Women Who Have No Judgment

Mercury Opera House is a renowned theater in the industry, with top-notch facilities in terms of stage, sound, lighting, and other equipment.

Even more famous than the opera house itself is the Mercury Opera Company, a professional company composed entirely of women, where all the male characters in the productions are played by women in drag.

Even Shiraishi Saku, who had never seen a proper stage play, knew the name of the Suigin Opera Company. In the list of drama club members submitted by Yamashita Asami, many members aspired to enter the Suigin Music Academy and join the Suigin Opera Company.

"When I was young, the Mercury Opera Company was already very famous, no less so than today's stars," Miyoko Tsukimiya said, looking down at the stage through the box window and reminiscing about the past.

Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune sat on the sofa. The girl yawned, still a little sleepy after just waking up.

"It'll start in a little while," Miyoko Tsukimiya said, looking at her granddaughter. "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Yukimiya Natsune shook her head: "I don't drink bitter things."

The old lady laughed: "Neither Liuli nor I like to drink it, only Kui loves that stuff."

She turned to the waiter beside her and asked him to bring three glasses of sparkling water.

Shiraishi Saku looked up. Although he had never been to a theater before, he figured this wasn't a place where you could order food.

The waiter responded and went out. A short while later, he brought out three flavors of sparkling water, three cups of each flavor.

Those despicable capitalists! They've turned the theater into a beverage shop!

Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune each took a cup, tasted it themselves first, and then passed it to their other selves so that the girl/boy body could also taste it.

Both bodies preferred the taste of the drink in the other's hand, so they swapped drinks.

Miyoko Tsukimiya smiled as she watched the interaction between the two.

"Today's play is 'Elizabeth'," she introduced to the two. "I grew up watching this play."

"Elizabeth," a musical about the legendary Austrian Empress Sisi, is a very old production. Every generation of the Mercury Opera Company performs this musical. The old lady said she grew up watching it; she truly watched it throughout her childhood.

Shiraishi Saku had no interest in stage plays and no intention of learning about the life of the Austrian Empress; he was simply there to keep the old lady company.

He thought to himself, the agreement with his proud mother was that she would accompany him in her young body, but now both bodies were accompanying him at the same time. Should he double his working hours?

When the performance time arrived, Tsukimiya Miyoko led the two out of the VIP box and sat down in the center of the front row on the first floor.

The box seats are located on the side of the stage, which is not ideal for viewing. Only the front row on the first floor and the front row on the second floor are the best seats. One is closer to the actors, and the other offers a panoramic view of the entire stage.

Not long after we sat down, the play began. The stage went dark, and the lights illuminated a prison cell and a prisoner. The story of Princess Sissi slowly unfolded from the mouth of the prisoner who assassinated her.

The exquisite stage, outstanding actors, and classic script quickly drew the audience into a dreamlike world. The unique singing style and lively dialogue were intertwined with a tragic fate.

Two hours flew by, the lights came on, and the actors took their bows and gave their thanks on stage.

"How is it?" Tsukimiya Miyoko looked at Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune.

"Excellent," Shiraishi Saku replied.

In two and a half hours, Princess Sissi lived her entire life on stage. The young girl, yearning for freedom, struggled under the oppression of family, etiquette, and status, resisted the temptation of death, briefly escaped the court, and ultimately ran towards death with nothing.

"Where's Natsume?" Tsukimiya Miyoko asked, looking at her granddaughter.

"Me too," Yukimiya Natsune replied.

Although it was his first time seeing a proper stage play, he had seen his classmates perform it at school events, and the two were not even in the same league.

No wonder there's an involutionary faction led by Nanase Kanade in the drama club. The gap between recreational stage plays and professional stage plays is too vast, and people with self-pursuits naturally can't stand it.

The audience members around them got up and left one after another. Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune looked at Tsukimiya Miyoko, who was still sitting.

"No rush," Miyoko Tsukimiya shook her head.

The theater emptied out; apart from the three people, all the other audience members had left, and the stage curtain had been closed.

Silence fell all around, then footsteps sounded.

The red curtain was drawn back once more, and the main actors returned to the stage, respectfully greeting Tsukimiya Miyoko.

There was even a private encore performance!

Despicable capitalists! They've turned actresses into chat companions!

"I heard you chose the drama club, so I brought you here to see it," Miyoko Tsukimiya explained. "I haven't been here in a long time either."

It wasn't a long time, at least the main actors on set still recognized Tsukimiya Miyoko and chatted familiarly about their recent situations.

"My name is Nanase Akane." The actress playing Princess Sissi introduced herself to Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune.

The old lady briefly introduced the two men and talked about their preparations for a stage play. The actors became enthusiastic and chatted with Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune about the secrets to their success.

Shiraishi Saku's feelings were complicated. It felt like when the kids wanted to participate in a competition, their parents immediately brought in experts in the relevant field for guidance.

Those despicable capitalists!

Moreover, he and she haven't decided whether or not to join the drama club!

This wonderful musical, instead of strengthening Shiraishi Saku's beliefs, made him want to give up.

A pragmatic person who looks up at the sky will not feel longing, but will only realize how distant and unattainable the sky is, and will feel a sense of retreat.

Shiraishi Saku wasn't going to fool the old lady, nor was he going to put himself through hardship, so he wanted to find a better group activity to achieve "excellence." Besides the drama club, the student council was also an option.

"Miss Yukimiya," Nanase Akane said, pulling on Yukimiya Natsune's hand and interrupting Shiraishi Saku's thoughts, "please come and try it out. The costumes and stage props are still here!"

They only invited Yukimiya Natsune; the Mercury Opera Company is an all-female troupe, and it's not convenient for men to enter the backstage area.

Several actresses pushed and shoved, pulling Yukimiya Natsune onto the stage and towards the backstage dressing room.

Shiraishi Saku switched the perspective from the girl's body to God mode, letting Yukimiya Natsune act on her own.

Through the synchronization of his memory and senses, he watched the images transmitted from the girl's body and felt the touch from there.

"Miss Yukimiya, please don't move. These clothes are quite troublesome to put on. We'll help you."

"Miss Yukimiya has such beautiful skin."

"Let me touch it too!"

"I want to touch it too!"

"Maru, the spare outfit is too tight at the chest."

"Akane, quickly take off your clothes and give them to Miss Yukimiya!"

"..."

Good news! I got to enjoy the undressing and dressing services that the maids don't offer.

The bad news is that these straight women are reckless and went even further than yesterday's haughty mother.

Speaking of which, isn't that Nanase Akane the famous actress older sister of Nanase Kanade, a key figure in the drama club's competitive faction? They even share the same surname.

He stopped thinking about the drama club and downgraded the stage play to a backup project, letting the girl body try it out, just wanting to see the girl body cosplay as a noble lady.

While waiting, he recalled what happened in the car and thought of the sleeping Yukimiya Natsune.
