Episode 52. Siren’s Song (3)
Although her eyes were looking out the window, all of Lois’s attention was focused on her sisters’ conversation.
“Are you really going to leave?”
“huh. “We’ll be busy with the festival starting tomorrow, so let’s have fun today.”
“okay!”
Lucia seemed to want to see the festival, so she quickly took off her apron.
At this, the corners of Lois’ mouth turned up.
‘Something… ‘Does it feel good?’
A feeling that something good will happen.
“Guys, let’s go out!”
Lois cheerfully responded to Moana’s call.
“yes!”
I hope my feelings are not wrong.
So after a while.
“Kaka!”
“Candy candy!”
The excited twins held Moana’s hand, and Lucia took Lois and left the inn.
Lois, who already wanted to see the first festival since being possessed, also got a little excited.
Royce and his party went out to see the beautiful sisters, holding their hands.
‘That’s amazing.’
The streets were filled with people everywhere, befitting the reputation that it was the best festival on the winter continent.
In addition, there were plenty of peddlers setting up stalls here and there and various things to see.
‘It’s like this even though it’s the first day of the festival?’
It is said that the culmination of the festival is on the fifth day of the prayer ceremony.
I already had no idea what the fifth day would be like in a place like this.
Lois and her group are busy watching the festival with the beautiful sisters.
As time passed, several candy skewers were held in the twins’ hands.
“huh?”
Something caught Lois’s vision.
Lufhagen’s square.
There was a stage spread out within it.
Lois asked Moana.
“What is that?”
“Oh, you’re doing it again this year. It’s called ‘Cain’s Night.’”
“What is that?”
“Just what… It is an event where prize money is given for playing instruments and singing. “When Lucia was young, she won first place there?”
“You too… … .”
“oh?”
When Lucia was embarrassed, a strange look crossed Lois’s eyes.
‘Is that so?’
When Lois showed interest, Moana and Lucia took a seat in front of the stage.
Recently, Lois mistook Lucia’s learning of the Barhume to mean that he was interested in musical instruments, so he tried to show her around ‘Cain’s Night’.
As soon as Royce and his group took their seats, many audience members began to gather around the stage.
Come alone or as a family.
Or even those who occupied the front of the stage with their lovers.
Quite a number of people gathered as Gain’s Night was a famous event in Lufthagen.
When the stage was buzzing, a host came up and announced that ‘Gain’s Night’ had begun.
Soon, several people with musical instruments went up and played or sang.
One person, two people, three people… … .
When the five people had just finished their performance, Lois asked Lucia with a questioning look.
“everyone… “Why can’t you do it like that?”
“huh? Ahaha, it’s a preliminaries. … Probably so? The finals will be held in a few days, so it will be worth watching.”
“Hmm… … .”
Lois shook her head.
As Lucia said, there were occasionally some who played quite well, but there was still no one who satisfied Lois’s ears.
Only then did Lois realize.
That Lucia’s performance was really great and that her skills, which she had only learned in a few days, were better than theirs.
The preliminary round continued for a long time after that.
Occasionally the audience clapped lightly, but there was no thunderous cheering.
‘Hmm, it looks like people just came to eat and drink with songs as background music.’
In fact, the audience was more interested in eating and drinking with other people than on the stage.
At some point, the music that was constantly playing stopped.
“Is there anyone else who would like to participate?”
The stage host looked around and shouted.
At that moment, the face of Lucia, looking at the stage with faint eyes, came into Lois’s field of vision.
The story of Moana passed through Lois’ brain at that time.
‘Did you say Lucia won first place there before?’
A look crossed Lois’s eyes.

‘This was it!’
His good premonition was not wrong.
I guess I had that premonition just for this moment.
Lois, who was so sure, grabbed Lucia’s hand.
“Yes? what’s the matter?”
“Sister, let’s go over there with me.”
“Where?”
In response to her question, Lois simply grabbed Lucia’s hand without further explanation.
Lucia was dragged away with a force that was uncharacteristic of a child.
Moana watched the scene with her eyes wide open.
Lucia accidentally follows Lois onto the stage.
“huh?”
The host, who was just about to set up the stage, looked surprised at the sudden appearance of a child and Lucia.
“uh? Lucia?”
The stage host recognized Lucia immediately.
Until a few years ago, there was no one who didn’t know about Lucia at the Siren Shelter.
In fact, among the audience watching the stage, there was someone who recognized Lucia and started whispering.
“Aren’t you Lucia from Siren?”
“uh? “Really?”
“Why him? Lucia, aren’t you singing these days?”
“I know that too… … . “They said I couldn’t sing after the accident.”
Lucia’s complexion turned pale when she saw the crowd whispering.
“Hey, Lois… … .”
Lucia, embarrassed, shook off Lois’ hand and tried to get off the stage.
It was then.
“Uncle, please lend me Bahume!”
Royce ran to the performer below the stage and borrowed the Barhume.
A performer whose attitude was so bold that he gave it up.
Lois, who had obtained Bafume, handed it to Lucia.
“Lois?”
“My sister plays.”
“but… … .”
“I’ve heard it all along, but there’s no one here who plays better than you, right?”
Lucia thought that Lois did not know her situation.
That’s probably why I say it so innocently.
I couldn’t be angry at a child who didn’t know what was going on.
Lucia sighed softly and accepted the BaHume.
Although it was someone else’s instrument, it gave off a familiar feeling.
“Whoa… … .”
Lucia glanced at the audience staring at the stage.
As a slight feeling of anxiety leaked out of her heart, Lois’ voice was heard.
“If my sister plays, I will sing.”
“sing… … ?”
Lucia tilted her head.
Lois smiled brightly at this.
“yes!”
It was when Lois and Lucia were looking into each other’s eyes.
The host’s voice was heard from below the stage.
“Are you not ready yet?”
“ah… sorry.”
Lucia slightly bowed her head and apologized.
She is now in a state of disorientation because she has been dragged onto the stage.
The host and audience gave a suspicious look at the delayed stage situation.
Even Lois gave him a look that said ‘Hurry, hurry’.
“Whoa… … .”
Lucia exhaled calmly.
As if there was nothing she could do, she held up her barfume and took a stance.
Immediately after, I lightly plucked the string.
Diriling-.
A clear sound echoed across the stage.
Lucia asked after checking the condition of the instrument.
“What song do you want to sing?”
This time, it was Lucia who decided to join in on the cute rascal’s antics.
Lois looked worried at this.
‘I know… ‘What do you call it?’
When Lucia tried to run away, she said she was going to sing, but she never thought about what she was going to sing.
I just did it recklessly.
Moreover, the only stage I have ever experienced in my life was at a little school performance in my previous life.
Lois lightly scratched her cheek.
‘Well, is there anything special about the stage?’
Even though it was a stage with many eyes watching, Lois strangely did not tremble.
‘Well, isn’t this a school art festival in its own way?’
Did he become a dragon and his heart become stronger?
Lois was too calm to be calm.
‘Anyway, what do you really call it?’
Lois asked, looking up at Lucia.
“Can I call you anything?”
“anything? hmm… Just call it first. “I’ll take care of the accompaniment.”
“yes!”
Lois nodded.
To begin with, he didn’t know many songs.
At least I could count on one hand the number of lyrics I had memorized.
He decided on a song and stepped forward slightly.
‘Let’s call it roughly.’
Many people’s attention was focused on the bright and cute child standing in the center of the stage.
“Is that kid calling me?”
“Not Lucia?”
“I guess so?”
“Who is he? really pretty!”
At first, the fact that Lois, not Lucia, came to the front of the stage.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Lois’ very pretty appearance.
And that was it.
No one was particularly interested in what song Royce would sing.
“Whoa… .”
Lois, who stepped to the front of the stage, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Soon the first line flowed from his small lips.
[It’s okay… Of course.]
A calm, clear voice.
It’s clear and thin, but strangely heavy and dark.
It was a strange voice with quite a contradictory feeling.
[Why do you want to live for 500 years?]
The song Royce chose was none other than ‘One Five Hundred Years,’ one of Gangwon-do’s traditional folk songs.
Despite the clear and beautiful voice, it was the first verse that touched the heart.
“… … ?!”
The crowd looked at Lois in surprise.
Even Lucia was clearly surprised.
Either way, Lois was singing, drunk with her own voice.
‘Ohh?! Hey?! Is the song easy? Was your voice pulled out like this?!’
It was the moment when the dragon correction exploded again.
Royce, who fell in love with her own song, put a lot of emotion into the lyrics.
When it comes to lamenting about life, is there anyone else who has as much to say as Lois?
From past life to present life.
The life and emotions of a terminally ill person are fully reflected in the lyrics.
In addition, the lyrics that Royce added on the spot were a perfect match.
[I said I’d try to live, but that’s not very acceptable-]
While Lois continued singing, Lucia, who came to her senses, began to add appropriate accompaniment.
Even though it was clearly the first time she had heard the song, Lucia’s talent for adding appropriate accompaniment was surprising.
Dirring- Diriring-.
The slow but low clear sound of Barhume.
[I want to live this life just as well as others]
In contrast to her beautiful voice, Royce’s lyrics, filled with hundreds of years of hardships and sorrows from her past and present lives, harmonized exquisitely.
The audience, who at first wondered what the song was about, quickly became immersed in their performance.
“Ugh… “Why is there so much joy and sorrow in a baby’s voice?”
“Wow, this little boy with a long life is singing as if he’s about to die… … ?”
“I’m heartbroken… … .”
No matter what, the number of people clutching their hearts or shedding tears while listening to Royce’s song has increased.
Royce repeated the refrain several times.
[No more, no less, just live for 10,000 years]
He finished the song.
For a moment, there was silence around the stage.
There was no cheering.
There is only a whimpering sound.
‘… Was it not that good?’
When the audience, who had applauded roughly until now, showed no response, Lois scratched the back of her head sheepishly.
‘Did you do it for no reason?’
By the time he thought that.
Hwiik-.
A whistle was heard from somewhere.
“The best!”
“baby! “Are there any other songs?”
“One more song!”
Soon, thunderous shouts and cheers erupted.
Lois was dumbfounded by such a reaction.
He looked around with a bewildered expression.
Then I got drunk from the cheers from the audience.
“lol.”
The corner of Lois’ mouth twitched.
‘Ehehehehe.’
Lois smiles brightly and cheerfully.
Finally, his face went blank.
‘I guess I… ‘I guess I have stage constitution!’
Lucia just looked at Lois with a strange expression of surprise and confusion.
