Chapter 12

"Since it will be unfair for some of us to do the play while others don't, I am going to choose a play in which each and every one of us will be able to participate."

"Oh, come on. Why don't we pick, like, five and make them…"

"If you keep interrupting, I'll make you be the princess."

The protesting student immediately shut up to see Yuja write the word 'princess.' Anything but the princess. Everyone thought so. Yuja finished writing the roles. The prince, the princess, dwarf 1, dwarf 2, dwarf 3… He was probably thinking of Snow White.

Myohan laid his head on a hand and closed his eyes. He wished he could be 'tree' or 'passerby 1.' Both memorizing the lines and practicing were too much work to him. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and then narrowed his eyes.

May sunlight was warm, and it was hard to imagine that it had snowed only a few days ago.

Myohan looked outside, enjoying the view of falling cherry blossoms.
