"Senior, I...I am Erika Toda, first time...first time meeting..."

Seeing Miki Nakamura appear in front of her, Erika suddenly became very excited, her eyes full of surprise.

"Nice to meet you, Eri-chan. Since you are Arata's friend, don't be so formal. How about we all relax!"

"Huh? Hi!"

Faced with Miki-san's kind attitude, Erika felt flattered in her heart. Arata looked around strangely, and then suddenly curiously asked Nakamura Miki:

"Master, didn't you say we would watch a show together? Why did you bring us to the restaurant?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you will be laughed at!"

Suddenly hearing Arata ask a layman's question, Miki quickly turned her head and lowered her voice to remind him. Arata looked at Miki's reaction and felt very curious. However, she did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Didn't I tell you? What we are here to watch today is a drama of poverty!"

"Poverty drama?"

Hearing Miki's words, Arata and Erika asked in confusion. Miki, who felt a little embarrassed, couldn't help but sigh, and then lowered her voice and whispered:

"This is a bit complicated to explain, but it can be regarded as an experimental avant-garde art! Just sit here and don't talk for a moment. Let me remind you that these people around you are not waiters, they are all actors!"

"Eh?"

Arata looked around in surprise and saw people walking around casually carrying plates everywhere. These people were not wearing any makeup. Some people were leaning aside and chatting quietly, while others seemed to be talking with a lamp in their hands.

We were playing around, and there were a few of them standing in the restaurant, oh no, in the middle of the theater, doing weird and unbelievable things.

"I don't understand what this is at all! Only a literary youth like Sister Miki would like these things!"

Just when Arata was feeling strange, someone suddenly came up to him and filled his cup with juice. Arata was about to thank him when he saw the person casually touching his face, and then took it with him

He walked down to the next table with a smile.

"Uh... Sister Miki! I..."

Arata pointed to the cup in front of him, Miki turned around and nodded affirmatively, then Arata picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Okay! It's better than the grunt juice I drank at the maid restaurant last time!"

As Miki's little fan girl, Erika looked at the restaurant with great interest, ah, no, it was everything in the theater. After a while, as the chatter gradually disappeared, the few people standing in the middle finally started to perform.

I saw a man who looked a bit like Uncle Takahashi kneeling on the ground with his bare feet. Suddenly he started singing, and the actors around him who Arata mistakenly thought were waiters also began to join in. As the uncle

After rolling up from the ground, a slender woman began to dance on the spot again. After a while, the two men began to wrestle in the middle as if they were fighting. And just then

When Arata felt bored and was a little surprised, someone actually brought a cake.

The people carrying the cake first sang a song, then blew out the candles, then cut the cake and gave some to each table.

…

After watching the play, the three people walked out of the theater. Miki and Erika were seen discussing the details just now, looking like they still had something to say. Arata sighed very frankly:

"I have a vague idea! It's even better than the cake shop near my home! But I didn't expect that there would be such an edible drama?"

"Ah, it's such a shame to bring you here!"

Miki looked at Arata helplessly, and upon seeing this, Arata quickly apologized seriously:

"Ah, I'm sorry! I've actually been studying very seriously, but I have no idea what these people are doing?"

"Okay! It's all my fault. I should have given you some extra lessons in advance before I asked you to come! But now while you still have an impression, I'll explain it to you patiently! We just saw that this drama is called "The Living Room",

To put it simply, it’s like you went to a friend’s living room, where everyone drank, chatted and sang.

, some dramatic things happened during this period, and this play presents such an effect. The reason why it is called Arte Povera is because this form of drama abandons gorgeous costumes and gorgeous light and shadow effects, making

The audience focused on the actors' performances..."

Miki explained the concept of poverty drama to Arata and Erika seriously. It must be said that Arata was really eye-opening, but he didn't have much interest. On the contrary, Erika looked at it with admiration.

Sister Mei Ji.

"It's amazing! I didn't know that actors could perform like this! Today is really an eye-opener!"

"Okay! Since you are coming to the theater with me, I will treat you to a good meal. How about you go to my house and cook with me?"

"Agree!"

"Absolutely agree! By the way, I still have questions about the script that I want to ask you about!"

"Script? What's it this time?"

"Ah, Mr. Cangtian sent it to me, asking me to think about it carefully!"

…

After coming out of the theater, Miki drove the two of them back to her apartment. When Erika walked into Miki's apartment expectantly, she sat on the sofa a little reservedly, and then noticed the wall at a glance.

's collection of books.

"Senior, these... are all books related to drama!"

"Well! I started out as a model, and then I was lucky enough to become a soldier. I just thought that I must not betray the trust of others, and then I started studying all kinds of acting knowledge!"

"Eh..."

Erika looked at the collection of books in surprise, and upon seeing Erika's reaction, Arata took out a book and put it in her hand.

"Look, this is it. Sister Miki has been urging me to read it carefully before, but unfortunately I can't read it at all!"

""The Technique of Performance""

"Um!"

After Erica took the book, she couldn't wait to flip through it. But soon she carefully closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. When I go back, I will find this book and study it carefully... Now I want to communicate more with my seniors!"

"Arata...can you open the red wine for me?"

"Hey! I'm coming over right now!"

"Come along and help, Toda!"

"Um!"

Hearing Sister Miki's call, Arata brought Erika to the restaurant. Then he saw Sister Miki pointing to the steak and red wine on the table and said:
Chapter completed!
