Episode 53. Siren’s Song (4)
Lucia returned from the festival and entered her room without saying a word.
The back looks somewhat weak.
Lois noticed a change in her mood.
As Lois was staring at Lucia’s back, Moana smiled and stroked his head.
“are you okay. “It’s because it reminds me of old times.”
It was Moana who mistakenly thought Lois was worried about Lucia.
She gave Lois a thumbs up.
“Lois, you did great today!”
It was a compliment that meant a lot.
I was momentarily taken aback by Royce’s unexpected behavior.
Many thoughts ran through Moana’s mind when she saw her younger brother on stage for the first time in a long time.
At the end, she remembered one thing.
‘For Lucia… After all, a stage where I can sing is suitable.’
Lucia stopped singing after an unexpected accident.
If Moana had a small wish, it was to watch her younger brother sing on stage again.
And today, with the help of a little gentleman, I was able to find hope that that wish would come true.
Of course, she could not have imagined that all of this was what the ‘little gentleman’ had intended.
Therefore, Moana asked Lois without any doubt.
“Lois… … .”
“huh?”
“My sister has a favor to ask.”
“ask?”
“You passed the preliminaries today, right? So, won’t you continue to go on stage with Lucia in the future?”
To Moana’s request, Lois answered blankly, wondering what kind of cake this was.
“Hehe, yes!”
“Aww, it’s pretty. “My sister will cook something delicious for you.”
“huh!”
Lois nods eagerly.
The twins whined next to them.
“Moana… I am?”
“Me too… … .”
As the twins clung to her, Moana smiled brightly, said she understood, and left.
Moana, who quickly made snacks for the children, went to visit her younger brother.
smart-.
“It’s me, can I come in?”
“… … .”
There was no answer.
Moana sighed lightly and opened the door.
Then Lucia, covered in a blanket, came into view.
Moana gently sat down on the bed.
she asked, stroking what she assumed to be her sister’s back.
“How was your day?”
“… … .”
There was no answer from Lucia under the blanket.
Moana smiled softly.
She could somewhat understand Lucia’s feelings now.
“Is it good?”
My younger brother must have fallen into a deep sense of self-destruction because he loved the moment he went on stage today.
At Moana’s question, the blanket slightly lowered, revealing Lucia’s eyes.
Lucia hesitated as her sister looked at her, then confessed softly.
“huh… “It was good.”
“It’s been a while since you’ve been on stage? Or playing in front of an audience?”
“… both.”
As Lucia answered, her face became even more gloomy.
Moana caressed her younger brother’s forehead.
“thank god.”
“… “Don’t you hate me?”
“why me?”
“Yeah… because of me… … .”
Lucia is now 22 years old.
However, in Moana’s eyes, she still looked like a ten-year-old Lucia.
Moana smiled kindly and said.
“I’m telling you this… It’s not because of you. That was something the two of you chose for yourself to protect the person you love most in the world. I never hate you for protecting them. “Because I care about you the most in the world, just as much as my mom and dad.”
“… … .”
“I told Lois. From now on, the two of you will go out to Ga-in’s night together.”
“uh?”
“You said it was good? “Standing on stage and playing on stage.”

“but… … .”
“I liked it too… “It’s been a while since I saw you on stage.”
“… sister.”
“Even though I’m going on stage now to perform… Still, it’s a lot better than before, right? You, who was pale and tired just by looking at the stage, are now on stage. Is it because of Lois? Hehehe. Anyway, if I keep going on stage, someday… “Maybe you can sing?”
“… … .”
Lucia’s brows furrowed slightly as she heard Moana’s calm story, and she shed tears.
They were tears filled with gratitude for my sister.
“sister… … .”
“don’t cry.”
“sister… … .”
“After all, our Sirens are prettiest when they sing, right?”
The sisters from my parents’ high school depended on each other.
Moana gently hugged her little brother who came to her.
And Lois and the twins were quietly watching through the door.
“Moana is nice… … .”
“Lucia is nice too… … .”
The sensitive twins sniffled.
Lois said, putting her arm around the twins’ shoulders.
“You guys. “Would you like to do something nice with me?”
“Good deed?”
“What?”
The twins tilt their heads while looking at Lois.
“There is something like that, hehe.”
Lois’s eyes, planning something, were curved like a pretty crescent moon.
* * *
It was from that day.
This is why Lois and Lucia consistently appeared on the stage of ‘Cain’s Night’.
“Don’t forget! you!”
I’ve been on stage several times already.
On this day, Royce was showing off her amazing bending skills on stage.
“I did it with you!”
Today, Royce successfully sang ‘Southbound Train’, her favorite song number 18 from her previous life.
When Royce’s song ended, cheers erupted from all directions.
“Today was the best again.”
“Lois! Look here!”
Lois was almost unable to control her pounding heart from the enthusiastic cheers directed at her.
“swimming… … .”
He tried to somehow control and hold back the corners of his mouth that naturally rose.
But I just couldn’t bear it.
Lois’ body twists and turns.
“Oh my gosh, do you think I’ll be happy about that?”
Should I wave my hand at the audience or control my twisted body like a twist?
Even in the midst of her busy schedule, Lois’ eyes were sparkling.
‘I guess… I guess he really had stage physique!’
In the end, Lois raised the corners of her mouth.
“lol!”
The cheers coming from below the stage made Royce’s shoulders shake.
This was the first time in Lois’ life that she had received attention from so many people.
So it was natural for me to be distracted by this kind of attention.
‘So this is why people become celebrities!’
Royce’s popularity soared as people responded to her.
Thanks to their popularity, Royce and Lucia easily passed the preliminaries and advanced to the finals, and this was the final stage of the finals.
“Hehehe!”
As if responding to the audience’s response, Royce slightly waved her hand and walked off the stage.
Seeing Royce like that, the audience cheered even more, saying it was cute.
As Royce waits for the results of the finals, intoxicated by the audience’s cheers.
“Roy.”
“Yes?”
Lucia asked, slightly lowering her head and looking down at Lois.
“Are you happy?”
“huh! “What about your sister?”
Smiling broadly, Lois watched Lucia’s reaction.
“… me too.”
Short answer.
However, it was a statement filled with many emotions.
Lois stared at Lucia as she stood up.
‘It’s not easy.’
Trauma refers to an event or accident that creates a wall in one’s mind.
Lucia had to vividly watch her parents die before her eyes in the past.
That terrible memory hit a wall in her mind, and she concluded that the cause of all the incidents was her song.
I don’t want to think about it.
For some reason, I feel like something like that will happen again.
I want to forget it.
Thoughts like these must have tormented Lucia endlessly, putting a lock on the song section in her mind.
‘Well, there is still hope.’
Lois was trying to get Lucia to unlock it on her own.
It gives you the motivation to overcome the fearful memories that are the basis of trauma.
That’s what Lois was going to do.
‘The best way is to make people realize that trauma is not trauma… … .’
Lois’ face became grave.
When he first appeared on stage at Gain’s Night, he thought Lucia’s trauma would soon go away.
Even though he couldn’t sing, I saw that he still had lingering feelings for him.
But that was it.
Even after performing stage after stage, Lucia did not attempt to take any further steps.
Because of the situation, Lois also started to feel a little nervous.
‘I don’t have time… … .’
He couldn’t stay in Lufthagen for a hundred or a thousand years.
It was soon the day when the ship to the autumn continent would depart.
Before that, I had to make Lucia sing and get Siren’s tears from Carrie.
While I was thinking that, a loud voice came from the stage.
“Lois! Lucia! “We’re in the finals!”
The power of popularity was incredible.
Royce, who had never sung in her life, easily advanced to the finals.
A look crossed Lois’s eyes.
‘done!’
The corners of Lois’ mouth slowly rise.
“Congratulations, Roy.”
“Sister too!”
Lois thought as she held Lucia’s gently extended hand with a wide smile.
‘If you don’t want to unlock it yourself, I’ll break it from here.’
The long-awaited D-day to break Lucia’s lock.
That will be the day the finals are held.
* * *
The day after Royce & Lucia’s advancement to the finals was confirmed.
“What are you doing here?”
Lois, who was returning to the siren rest area after going outside, saw the back of the head of someone wandering around the inn and asked sullenly:
“Huh?!”
In-young is startled by a sudden voice and starts the game.
The person who covered her face with a cloth was none other than Carrie.
Lois, who had her hands in her pockets, gave her a curious look.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh, how did you recognize me?”
“… “Are you saying that was a disguise?”
“huh… “I was paying some attention.”
“If you were going to care, why didn’t you spend a little more? Anyone who sees me will think I’m a thief. … Could it be that those lumpy men told you that too?”
“… … .”
As soon as Lois finished speaking, Carrie’s mouth fell shut.
“Tsk tsk.”
Lois clicked her tongue in silent affirmation.
Carrie sullenly lowers the cloth covering her face.
Lois asked while looking at this.
“Anyway, so what’s going on here?”
“Yes, I came to see how you were doing!”
“If you watch from here, will you be able to tell whether I’m doing well or not?”
“Well, that’s… … .”
“Well, that’s good. “I was already going to visit you.”
“… me?”
Carrie made a questioning expression at the unexpected remark.
Lois said with a slight smile.
“uh. “There is something I need you to do.”
“I? “What is it?”
“You know it’s Ga-in’s night finals tomorrow, right?”
“Of course! “I wonder if I don’t know that Lady Lucia is going on stage!”
“Yay yea, I guess so. It’s no longer a useless thing. Then tomorrow, do your best to fill the square with an audience.”
“audience? why?”
“I’ve always known that singing becomes more enjoyable when there is a large audience.”
“… Just because of that?”
“Don’t ask for details, just do as you are told. Because it helps us achieve our goals. “You’re not saying it’s going to be difficult, are you?”
“It’s hard! “If we just mobilize our family members, we can fill that square!”
“Good. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After saying that, Lois turned to go her own way.
Lois, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
He hurriedly shouted back.
“Oh right. Carry.”
“It’s my brother! “Brother Carrie!”
“Prepare two bouquets tomorrow.”
“… why?”
“Just do as you’re told. If you listen to me carefully, cookies will fall even while you sleep. “Prepare a bouquet that is not flashy.”
“okay… I get it.”
Carrie, who had now decided that Lois was the kid she wanted, didn’t ask any more and nodded.
When I asked why, it was because my head only hurt.
The two parted ways and prepared for tomorrow in their respective places, and the day passed quickly.
