Chapter 84: Immediate Dissapointment
____________________________________
While working on the song there was still a whole other part of the musical performance. That being the performance itself, walking around the campus we passed by students working on their own stands.
"I knew the maid cafe was a better idea" Kaminari complained while accidentally bumping into a supplies cart
"Just because we have to share the stage with other classes doesn't make our performance worse" Jiro retorted
"Yeah, but 3 other classes are doing performances! And only 1 is doing a maid cafe! I had originality"
"The fact that nobody is doing a maid cafe maybe hints that it may be a terrible idea" I flicked Kaminari's forehead making him take a step back. But before the both of us could continue to argue Mina stopped the both of us
"Oui! We only have limited time to work on the stage! And I have to teach the others how to dance" Mina dragged the both of us forward, and with a pout, I relented and continued on our way. Kaminari still glared at me the whole way... For some reason, it's like he holds a grudge against me... I wonder why
Reaching the auditorium we were greeted by props lying around as some students worked on them. Recognizing some of the faces I groaned as I heard footsteps getting closer
"MY~MY~MY~ it appears class 1-A is spying on us trying to copy our guaranteed success! I am blushing!" Monoma covered his face like a schoolgirl as he stared at us with a mocking gaze
"No, we just have the auditorium reserved for the next hour... Speaking of which, you're making a performing too?" I pointed at the props class 1-B brought, it was obvious they weren't doing a music performance as there were way too many props. If I had to guess---
"Why yes! We are going to show the world the most fabulous story to have ever existed! And to even think you can imitate our genius is absolutely PREPOSTEROUS AND YOU CAN'T EV--"
*BONK*
"Sorry about him, he's been excited ever since he got a main role in the story" Kendo hit Monoma in the nape, which worked like a charm as he fell onto the floor face first.
"So you're doing a story performance? What's the genre"Jiro asked before looking at the props they brought however her eyes narrowed looking at them
'a magic hat, a sword in a stone, a lightsaber, and a laser gun... A bicycle..? Fake dragon... Is that a pokéball?'
"To be honest I have no idea either, I just help with the logistics" Kendo scratched her cheek before dragging Monoma and putting him on an empty table
"Ah right! You're probably here for the auditorium! Sorry for taking your time" Kendo snapped out of the thoughts as she led us to the entrance of the auditorium.
"Look at those gigantic steel doors! They must be heavy... And manly" Kirishima stared at the doors opening slowly as pullys struggled to move them... Nezu really went overboard with this one...
"So what do you say... We make music" ;)
".... That's why we're here..."
**********************************************
And thus it was just a day before the culture festival, unfortunately, nothing interesting happened during that time, except Eri finally arriving at the UA campus under the supervision of Aizawa
"Now that all the stands are ready why don't we explore a bit? It should be pretty fun" Midoriya suggested to the group part of the production, like special effects, music, and electronics
"That sounds fun... Ribbit, where should we start?" Asui asked while looking around. The campus looked much more lively than before, with all the students now resting after working tirelessly the whole week
"I heard Mirio-senpai's stand is over there" Midoriya pointed to a building in the distance, with its outside painted black
.......
"Welcome to Mirio's super spooky jumpscare mansion!" Being greeted by Mirio jump scaring us by popping out of the wall helped search in the atmosphere of a scare house, although the cheap props did look rather silly
"Why does that skeleton have ears?"
"Aren't those cobwebs just silly string?"
"Everything smells like burnt rubber"
Entering the lobby of the scary mansion the desk lady was just Nejire wearing a witch's hat... Which honestly made her much hotte---
"Focus Rimuru" I snapped out of my daze by Jiro hitting my side with her elbow. Nejire, who was terrible at acting tried to sound spooky while leading us to the entrance
"Be careful of what might jump at you! Because this place is... Um... Scary!" Nejire finished her introduction before moonwalking back... Yes, moonwalking...
"Woah it's really dark in here" Standing in the dark hallway with more than 8 people felt slightly suffocating, especially due to the low light. We would occasionally hear the sound of [Lightning.mp3]
"Kyaaa! Scary!" Mina suddenly shouted before jumping at Kirishima, who was caught unprepared.
Uraraka who saw Mina's strategy side-eyed Midoriya before waiting for the best moment
"Boo..." A muffled voice was heard as tentacles began reaching from the gaps in the door in front of us.
"Ah... Deku-kun I'm scared!" Uraraka took the chance and jumped onto Midoriya, which failed due to Midoriya being a complete pussycat. Instead of landing in the hands of her prince charming, she was greeted by Midoriya's terrified expression
"U-u-urr-raka... I-im---im scared" he muttered with his eyes tearing up. With the rest of the class not taking the spooky house very seriously we obviously advanced forward towards the tentacle door. Turning the doorknob the tentacles retreated at an alarming speed
"AHHH! Don't come through the door! I'm scared!" Amajiki shouted while aiming his tentacle arms at us, his face filled with panic as he stared at us
"Aren't you supposed to scare us?" Jiro asked
"You're way too scary! No way!" Amajiki ran towards the other side of the room and left the door, bumping into one of the students that was supposed to jumpscare us
"Kyaaa! Monster!" Amajiki curled up into a ball as he teared up. The other student stared at him with a strange expression behind the cheap horror mask
"We've only been here for a couple of minutes..." Our group made eye contact with the masked student, and soon the awkward silence got to him
"Uh... Um... We're going to need you to leave... We're really sorry and uh..."
"No it's fine..."
Leaving the horror house which was an immediate disappointment we were apologized profusely by Mirio who felt guilty. Making it back outside searching for other interesting things
"Most of these stands are just small stuff... Though the business course is going all out" Midoriya muttered while staring at a mini carnival which was most definitely rigged against you. Which we of course skipped
"Is that what I think this is" Kaminari then decided to open his mouth while pointing at a small restaurant on the side of the path
"Maid cafe...?" Reading the sign everybody felt slightly curious however Rimuru had a completely different reaction.
With goosebumps rising and a chill going down his spine, he knew his intuition was telling him of the danger that lurked inside that place
"Hey... Kyouka... Can we not go inside?" Rimuru pulled Jiro aside and requested, unfortunately separating from the group was a terrible idea
"Hey, you!" Hearing a woman's voice Jiro and Rimuru turned to see a short girl dressed in a maid costume point at Rimuru
"Who me?" Rimuru questioned while sweat began pouring down his forehead
"Yes, you! Put this one!"Rimuru was hit in the face by something, quickly catching it he stared at the thing held in his hand
"A m-maid uniform" Rimuru gulped down before glancing at Jiro, who had a cheeky smile on her face.
"K-Kyouka..."
"I've always wanted to see you wear one"
"Wait wait wait! WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT PLEASE!" Despite Rimuru's begging Jiro and the girl both dragged him into the restaurant
"Kyouka! Don't leave me here! Kyouka please!" Unfortunately, that was the last time Rimuru Tempest was heard from. By the way, have you heard of the new hot maid in the nearby cafe?

[Denki_Kaminari: THATS RIMURU?
"Snap out of it Rimuru, the performance is about to begin!" Slapping the phone out of Rimuru's hands and putting it in my pocket, I glared at Rimuru with a disappointed expression
He has been like that ever since my most recent trolling. And he clearly hasn't recovered since... Honestly, I feel really guilty but I couldn't help it! He's so hot when he dresses like a girl
"Ahem anyway can you bring the aux cord" I snapped out of my thoughts and quickly wiped the drool out of my mouth. Like a zombie Rimuru stands up and shambles towards the wall plugs, where the cables are.
Looking closer at his face, he seemed to have heavy bags under his eyes... Poor him, to be honest, he has been overworking himself trying to 'Frankenstein' Midoriya's song, he's also a part of the production team! Why buy a smoke machine when he's right here?
"Here..." I grabbed the cable out of his hands before connecting it to the microphone on the stand, however, I quickly realized I had forgotten another thing
"Ah! Can you bring me my bass?" Honestly, Rimuru is perfect for retrieving things, he can teleport anything that isn't connected to the ground!
"Hm? Why? You aren't playing bass" His words surprised me for a moment... Won't I be singing and playing bass?
"Who's going to play the bass then? You emphasized the importance of the bassline remember?"
"Oh yeah, I'll be playing the bass" He scratched the back of his head, completely ignoring how ridiculous that sounds
"So you wrote the song, working in the special effects and playing the bass?"
*3!* *2!*
"Sh*t no time" Rimuru quickly went to his spot before smoke began to surround him and rise in the air... His quirk really is a cheat
*1! Goooooo!*
"Let's go! We're going to murder them with music!" Bakugo suddenly shouted before slamming the drums with terrifying force...
"~what am I to be?~" Quickly remembering my lines I completely focused on singing
'damn this song goes kinda hard'
********************************************
"Woo! That song was fire!" Mirio raised his fists in the air while Eri sat on his shoulders, apparently she was brought here to familiarize herself with the campus
"That song was sooo cool! Especially when it went all boom boom boom and then wah woah woah!" Eri joined in with stars shining in her eyes. A proud smirk painted my face as I gave an elbow to Jiro
"See told ya this song was fire" I really outdid myself this time... I even heard some people recorded the performance and uploaded it to MeTube
"Yeah but this song was specifically made for Eri" Jiro retorted making me in freeze in place... Then I realized she was right... Midoriya wrote it with Eri in mind
"And I like it so much! I weaaaallly loved the part when the smoke danced to the music and then lightning flashed and Kaboom!" Eri professionally mimed what she remembered. Her horn began shining as she continued rambling about the performance making my heart jump
"Really Eri... What a coincidence, Rimuru here was the one who did all that!" Mirio patted my shoulder while giving her a smirk, Eir's eyes turned to me with a huge smile plastered on her face
"Really Rimuru? You're so cool! Just like Shadow Man! You know he has red eyes too!"
'uhhhh....who?'
