Chapter 60 Who Knew It Would Come To This

After breakfast, the two groups did not continue with the task. Instead, they went outside and found a space to rehearse for the afternoon performance.

Simone and her group started by rehearsing the shadow puppetry, and then they watched their group mates practice for their own performances.

Whenever they noticed a problem, they pointed it out so that improvements could be made.

On the other hand, the other group practiced individually since they all had solo performances.

Afterwards, Simone made several appetizing dishes using the ingredients given by the villagers as a reward for their hard work. She didn’t want the ingredients to go to waste.

Zac and the rest sat down happily and enjoyed the food.

As for Jodie’s group, they didn’t have time to cook as they had two performances.

In the end, Jodie made four PB&Js for lunch.

Her group found the lunch to be bland compared to the delicious aroma of Simone’s cooking. They planned to enjoy a feast when they returned to Cebros.

At 2:00 PM, the production crew set up a stage and placed chairs in a field in the village.

The village head used a loudspeaker to announce in the village for the villagers to gather and watch the performance.

Jonah then asked both groups to draw lots. The group that picked the longer stick would perform first.

Eric represented Simone’s group, while Leon represented Jodie’s group.

In the end, Leon got the longer stick and asked, “We’re performing first. Who wants to go first?”

Jodie looked around and raised her hand. “Maybe I can go first.”

Leon and the rest had no objections.

So, she walked up to the stage to perform a traditional dance in traditional attire that she had specially asked the production crew to prepare.

Having practiced from a young age, she delivered a brilliant performance.

The villagers clapped loudly, and Jodie was satisfied as she watched their applause.
