"Achoo!"
Mo Tu, holding newly bought dessert ingredients, walks on the street. After sneezing, he falls into deep thought.
"Is someone plotting against me?"
Strange, he doesn't recall having any enemies, and being in Yunzhang City now, those in the capital shouldn't be bothering with him.
Then Mo Tu walks to the side and starts divining.
The divination of [He Tu Luo Shu] has always been a convenient divine skill, helping him avoid many crises.
Moreover, if someone intends to target him, he can quickly know who it is, thus considering countermeasures.
However...
This time the divination has no effect at all, completely failing.
Mo Tu raises an eyebrow, feeling something's amiss.
Although he tries several more times, they all end in failure.
"Am I not qualified?"
Mo Tu remains silent for a moment, roughly guessing who wants to target him.
Not surprisingly, the person targeting him should only be a certain loli who's bored.
That girl is probably complaining that he hasn't been helpful in this incident, suspecting he's slacking off, so she has some mischievous intentions.
Guessing this, Mo Tu instead relaxes and laughs.
Anyway, that loli's pranks are limited to that level, it's not like she can break his defenses.
With her intelligence, Mo Tu is fully confident he can resolve whatever strategies she comes up with.
After all, she's still a young loli, even if that loli's true age is a bit older than him.
Thus, Mo Tu maintains a relaxed attitude as he returns home.
He had just put down the dessert ingredients when he hears a certain call.
It's coming from the Rising Sun Theater, the Spectator's summons.
Mo Tu doesn't feel any resistance and casually opens the theater door to enter.
After transforming into a troupe member, Mo Tu becomes Mo Tutu.
Wearing plain black casual clothes, Mo Tutu appears behind the stage, looking towards the stage position to find all troupe members present.
A certain silver-haired, red-eyed loli stands in the middle of the troupe members, with a gray pigeon sitting on her head, serving as a pigeon's nest.
"What's this about?"
Mo Tutu is somewhat puzzled.
He remembers tomorrow is the performance day, why is everyone out now? Are they rehearsing?
Thinking this, Mo Tutu walks over.
Seeing the Announcer arrive, Ye Xing happily greets him.
"Announcer, come quickly, we were just waiting for you."
Hearing this, Mo Tutu simply stops and directly teleports over using the theater's authority, truly quick.
"I remember the performance is tomorrow, is this a rehearsal?"
Ye Xing smiles and shakes her head.
"No, actually I want to organize all troupe members to go out and play, no one can be absent."
Mo Tutu raises an eyebrow, feeling something's not right.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Xing immediately puts on an innocent expression.
"I just want to organize an activity to enhance feelings between troupe members! Because we rarely have chances to communicate, I'm worried if this continues, our relationships will become more and more unfamiliar, so I want to change that!"
Mo Tutu chuckles, finding this reason somewhat amusing.
"I reckon as long as you're here, the troupe shouldn't become like that. You're the bond, aren't you? As long as your true heart doesn't change, it's fine."
Mo Tutu's observation is quite thorough.
She can fully see what the true factor supporting the troupe's integrity is.
The Spectator's existence is indispensable, this is why the Rising Sun Troupe won't fall apart.
If the Spectator were to leave the troupe, the twist maintaining the troupe's balance and stability would completely break.
After all, apart from the Troupe Leader and two others, the other troupe members aren't pure Star Eclipses.
They, who possess human parts, would be very sensitive to these changes.
It can be said that the Spectator's existence is their main reason for staying in the troupe.
The Singer, Puppeteer, and Playwright have deeper connections with the Spectator.
Incidentally adding a certain pigeon serving as a performance prop.
If no one brings it fries, this pigeon probably has no reason to stay in the theater either.
The Makeup Artist is a bit special, even if it's difficult, she would probably stay in the theater, following the Troupe Leader.
And the Announcer?
Would only leave if the troupe's fun decreases.
It's that simple.
So to make the current troupe collapse, one only needs to target the Spectator.
Back to reality.
Regarding Mo Tutu's words, Ye Xing decisively changes the subject.
"Who understands what you're saying? Anyway, I want to take everyone out shopping, no one can be absent, Announcer, you too!"
"Fine then."
Mo Tutu casually agrees.
It can be considered entertainment, there's nothing to do recently anyway.
And maybe some fun can be found in this process, now there's some anticipation.
"What about the Troupe Leader and others' thoughts?"
Mo Tutu looks towards the quietly standing Troupe Leader, Gentleman, and Deceiver, finding they have no objections.
The Troupe Leader says gently: "The Spectator's idea is good. If it can enhance feelings between troupe members, I strongly support it."
The Gentleman says politely: "Because this is the Spectator's request, a polite gentleman wouldn't refuse a lady's invitation."
As for the Deceiver's reason: "Our audience is human, and my deception performance is also for humans to watch. In this process, I can better understand human culture, thus updating deception techniques. Perhaps I can better deceive humans, this is also for myself."
Well, it seems these three most difficult people have no objections.
Then Mo Tutu looks towards the Makeup Artist.
"What about you, Makeup Artist? Are you going out too?"
The Makeup Artist doesn't know how to answer.
"I really want to go out, but my existence is bound to that painting the Spectator gave. You seem to have said I can't go out."
"Then just bring the painting out, go take that painting down."
"Can I really?"
"As long as you don't find it strange to carry such a large picture frame with you on the street."
"That's wonderful."
It seems the Makeup Artist can go out too.
Ye Xing watches this scene, raising a smile.
"Then let's prepare to set off. The location will be Qiyuan City, there are many things to play with there."
At this time, the Makeup Artist raises a hand and suggests: "Um... should I help you apply some light makeup? Girls should look prettier when going out."
During this time, the Makeup Artist has gradually understood this era's culture and studied this era's makeup techniques.
She was very interested in many unseen cosmetics, so Kong Yubai, the super rich lady, bought them for her.
With her makeup skills and diligent study, she's now familiar with this era's makeup.
Now whether it's stage makeup or light makeup for going out, the Makeup Artist can quickly help people apply it.
As for male members, there's probably no need.
Regarding this, Ye Xing and others gladly agree, all willing to let the Makeup Artist apply makeup for them.
