Episode 54. Siren’s Song (5)
The night of the long-awaited ‘Ga-in Night Finals’.
As time passed, the number of tourists coming to the festival increased, and as a result, the festival also became more lively.
This was the same for Gain’s night stage.
Aren’t drinking and singing and dancing essential at festivals?
Ga-in’s night, which was responsible for singing and dancing at the festival, attracted the attention of more people than expected.
People who came out to enjoy delicious food and a festive atmosphere with their families, acquaintances, and lovers gathered at the square after seeing the promotional flyers for ‘Cain’s Night’ scattered throughout Lufthagen.
The number of spectators was completely different from that of the preliminaries and finals.
Seeing this, Lucia looked slightly surprised.
“That’s a lot? “It wasn’t like this even on the last Ga-in night.”
Carrie’s words about being able to fill the square were not lies.
He really did everything he could to fill the square.
Not only did they distribute promotional leaflets to Lufthagen, but they also mobilized all members of the family.
Lois smiled slightly as she looked at the crowd of people.
‘Okay, the table is set.’
Lois glanced sideways at Lucia, who was surprised by the crowd.
Now she needed a little more stimulation.
This number of audiences would be a good stimulus for Lucia.
Lois was very pleased with Carrie’s faithfulness in carrying out her request.
‘then… ‘Is it my turn now?’
A little while ago, the Ga-In Night participants were going on stage one by one.
And perhaps because of the organizers’ plan, Lois and Lucia’s turn was the last on stage.
If the order of this stage was the organizers’ intention, Royce wanted to praise the organizers.
‘Is this what you call the finale?’
Originally, the main character appeared last.
Royce was planning to decorate the finale of Ga-in’s night stage in a splendid manner.
Time passes by so gradually.
Lois, who was in the waiting room, had a comfortable time lying down with Lucia’s legs on her back.
Lucia also smiled as she gently stroked Lois’ head.
She looked down at the innocent-looking face with its eyes closed and was lost in thought.
‘A fascinating child.’
A little fairy who came to Siren’s shelter.
When Lois first walked on stage, holding his hand, he felt like the sky had become distant.
But looking at Lois’ bright face, I felt calm.
When Lois rescued Bahume and offered it to him, he was surprised at himself for taking it as if he were possessed.
When I think about it now, I am so grateful to Royce for helping me through the entire process.
‘thank you. ‘For letting me go on stage again.’
If it weren’t for this child, I don’t know if I would have forgotten Ga-in’s night again this year.
I was able to go on stage because of Lois, but… … .
Stand tall.
Lucia stopped stroking Lois and looked beyond the waiting room tent.
“Waaah-.”
There was cheering as if another performance had ended.
Lucia’s face looked vague as she looked in the direction of the stage.
Performance, stage, and… sing.
The moment I think about this, the horror of ‘that day’ passes by.
Lucia’s face turned pale.
“Haaak-.”
In an instant, I was out of breath and my heart was beating violently.
At the same time, her hands were shaking.
The moment when Lucia hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand.
Soak-suk-.
There was a small white and smooth hand holding her trembling hand.
Lucia’s gaze turned to the owner of the hand.
“Lois… … ?”
“sister.”
Lois, holding Lucia’s hand, erased the childlike appearance she had shown so far and became serious.
He gazed at Lucia with calm eyes.
“It’s no big deal.”
“… huh?”
“Don’t try to avoid painful memories.”
“… … ?!”
Lucia looks at Lois with surprised eyes.
Lois’ calm voice flowed into her ears.
“if… If you saw your older sister unable to sing because she was so consumed by her guilt… “What did your sister’s parents say?”
“What is that… … .”
That was when Lucia expressed her doubts.
“Lois and Lucia are next!”

Lois jumped off the bench at the sound of their name being called.
Then he picked up the barfume lying on one side.
The size of Barhume was small.
It wasn’t Lucia’s Barhume, it was something she gave Lois.
Lois, who had taken her own barfume, stood in front of the waiting room door and held out her hand.
“Come on, let’s go.”
Lucia woke up as if fascinated by the gesture calling her.
Lois led her by the hand and left the waiting room.
And that was it.
Lois let go of Lucia’s hand.
At that moment, Lucia could see.
Khan and Kani standing in pure white clothes right in front of the waiting room.
The twins clung to Lucia’s legs.
Lucia looked at Lois with a puzzled face at the unexpected situation.
“Hey, Lois? “This?”
“Listen carefully there. And think about it. “I wonder what my deceased parents would have said to my sister.”
After saying that, Lois left Lucia alone and went on stage alone.
“Lucia, cheer up!”
“Lucia you can do it!”
The twins, who each said a word to Lucia, smiled brightly and followed Lois.
Lucia, who was entranced by the seat where she could see the stage, could only stare blankly at Lois, who was standing on the stage.
Meanwhile, in the audience seats looking at the stage.
“uh? “Is Lois alone today?”
“What about Lucia?”
“Is Lois playing alone?”
“The kids in the back are cute too!”
“Lois, do well today!”
“I came to see you!”
People who were confused when they saw Royce standing on stage alone soon cheered.
“This is the last stage of the day! Lois and… uh?”
The host, who was about to introduce the next sequence, tilted his head when he saw Royce coming out alone.
Lois said with a bright smile.
“My sister Lucia came alone because she wasn’t feeling well. Can she start?”
“uh? “Yeah, yeah.”
At Royce’s bold words, the host nodded and stepped back.
Lois placed her hand on Barhume, feeling many eyes looking at her.
A small, soft hand plucks the strings of the Bahume.
Diriling-.
As soon as the sound of Barhum announced the start of the performance, silence fell.
Lois’ clear voice spread calmly through the silence.
[On a cold winter night, I fell asleep covered in the warm blanket my mom and dad gave me.]
Some familiar lyrics.
The audience looked surprised at this.
“uh? “I know this song?”
“This is it, right? A child’s dream.”
“But isn’t this sung by two people?”
Until now, Royce had always sang songs she had never heard before.
The song he chose to sing in the finals was a song that was popular on the winter continent.
When a song they knew came on, the audience listened one by one.
[I had a dream… … .]
Royce’s clear and clear voice spread throughout the concert hall, and the audience who were expressing doubts suddenly became immersed in Royce’s song.
Diriling-.
Royce’s song exquisitely blends with Barhume’s gentle melody.
Cold winter night.
I fell asleep covered in the warm blanket my mom and dad gave me.
I had a dream.
There I walked in the white snow.
A snow field that sparkles like a jewel.
Everyone seemed entranced and couldn’t take their eyes off Lois.
It was then.
“Square square-.”
The twins behind Lois joined in and added the same sound effect.
Lois continued singing immediately after the twins’ sound effects.
[It’s snowing as I walk. Gray sleet.]
The twins waved their hands and added the sound effect again.
“Chwiik chwiik.”
[I hear a scary sound.]
As the twins dressed in pure white raised their arms and imitated orcs, the corners of the audience’s mouths went up.
“Chwiik chwiik!”
[It’s such a scary sound.]
After that, the twins’ chorus continued with Royce’s song.
Square Square-.
The world has turned gray. I ran. To run away from the sound.
Chwiik Chwiik-.
The sound gets louder and louder.
‘Child’s Dream’ is a song that has been passed down to the winter continent for a long time.
It was a song often sung to inform children of the fear of snowy orcs that inhabit the winter continent.
A common song that I grew up listening to since childhood.
Even though the song was clearly familiar, Royce and the twins’ song brought a sense of freshness to the audience.
Lois’ clear voice and the twins’ cute gestures.
And thanks to the appropriate sound effects, the audience was completely immersed in the song.
The audience couldn’t even hear their breathing.
Lois’ voice continued without pause.
scary.
A monster covered in pure white fur is chasing you.
scary.
A monster is trying to eat me.
scary.
mom and dad.
Lois and the twins’ perfect harmony took over the stage in an ecstatic manner.
That was the time when the audience was so immersed.
[…] … .]
Lois’ singing voice disappeared.
This is a song that should have continued for a long time.
But for some reason, Royce only played Barhume and did not continue singing.
Instead, he looked to one side of the stage.
There was Lucia, looking at the stage with blank eyes.
Lois thought with a slight smile.
‘Come on, come out. Open the bar on your heart!’
Lois continued to play Bahume, hoping that the song they sang would reach Lucia.
* * *
Lois and the twins came on stage and Lucia looked at them without understanding what was happening.
Royce’s song started while I was so confused.
“Cold winter night… … .”
Royce’s song was one that Lucia also knew.
Because it was a song that my parents often sang to me.
It was also a song she had sung countless times.
However, the part sung by Lucia as a child was the vocal part sung from the child’s perspective, sung by Lois now.
It was always like this, when Lucia sang the first song, her mother or father would sing the parents’ part.
Through Lois’ song, memories that Lucia had buried arose.
As the song played softly, a faintness filled Lucia’s eyes.
“iced coffee… … .”
Although I clearly knew the song and its lyrics, listening to it through Royce gave me a completely different feeling.
A person who cannot sing because he is caught up in memories of the past.
and… … .
‘A child trapped in a dream and chased by a monster.’
Isn’t it like your own story?
‘Memories of the past’ refers to oneself being chased by a monster.
At that moment, Lucia remembered the words Lois left behind.
‘Listen there carefully. And think about it. ‘I wonder what my deceased parents would have said to my sister.’
Only then did she realize the meaning of Lois’ words.
Diriling-.
When Lucia realized the truth, Lois’s singing had ended and only Barhume’s performance was continuing.
As if waiting for someone to sing the chorus from the parents’ point of view.
Diriling-.
As she listened to Bahume’s performance, Lucia’s feet stepped forward as if fascinated.
‘I see… … .’
The meaning of what Lois said.
And the lyrics of the song sung by parents in ‘Child’s Dream’.
The moment I remembered that.
Clap-.
The chain that bound Lucia’s heart shook and loosened.
With that, Lucia took a step forward.
Clap-.
One step at a time.
Clap-clack-clack-.
As Lucia took a step toward the stage, the lock was slowly released.
at last.
Tong-.
The moment she was in front of the stage, the lock that existed in her heart completely fell away.
“iced coffee… … .”
We are just one step away from the stage.
Lucia gently closed her eyes.
Soon a small moan escaped her mouth.
“Ahhh… … .”
The moans, which were so faint, soon began to take on a small note.
Cheolrrrr-.
The chains that had bound Siren for a long time inside Lucia were loosened.
Lucia’s eyes open little by little.
At the same time, her lips gently parted and clear and beautiful lyrics flowed out.
“Cold winter night… … .”
