After practicing the song for a few more days, I realized one thing.
As long as he was by the World Tree’s side, there was no way to cure Harris’s exhaustion.
‘I guess it’s because of the “Child of the World Tree.”‘
As I learned in my spiritism class, singing did have some effect.
The problem is that it doesn’t last very long.
It was a bit bothersome because without the stimulation of music, I would just try to stretch out like a plant, but it wasn’t so bad because it accelerated my growth and helped me in many ways.
After all, if I had just paid a little more attention, I could have moved my body freely like I do now.
“Next! Go up on stage.”
Then, the academy students who were ahead of them went down the stage, and the stage host called their names.
“Okay! Then let’s go!”
Timer, who was holding a heavy drum set in the air, climbed up onto the stage in excitement.
Curie took a deep breath for a moment and followed him with a much more calm expression, while Shapiron headed towards the stage with his usual confident gait.
Harris looked at them with a smile on his face.
‘Okay, then… shall we use 「Melody of Harmony」 to its fullest and have the other world’s elves be trained on the essence of Earth’s modern music?’
It was the moment when the cultural invasion of Earth, known only to Drasha, the capital of the Elven Kingdom, began.
***
Groan, groan—
~♪
With the festival in full swing, splendid attractions were set up throughout the capital.
As an Elven Kingdom proud of their culture, the Elven people spared no expense in showing off what they had prepared.
There were not only works of art such as paintings and sculptures, but also items useful for daily life such as clothing and carpets.
“Ah! Lady Laforie, Lady Cecily, are you here?”
“Hello. I heard there was a performance by the Drasha Academy here, so I came to see it.”
“Welcome! Miss Shapiron will be on stage in just a little while. Please come this way.”
“Oh, I didn’t come specifically to see my daughter’s performance…. I happened to come on stage with a friend I sponsor. She’s also a friend who has a connection with Cecily. Hahaha….
Cecily followed Laforie, looking around with her sparkling star-shaped pupils.
After waking up from the aftermath of the awakening, she was watching the festival with Laporie.
For her, who was born in a small elven village on the continent of Ion and lived simply with nature as her friend, such a splendid event was the first time in her life that she had seen it.
Moreover, wasn’t this festival held to celebrate oneself?
Even though today was only the second day, this place was truly a world full of amazing things to see.
~♪
Clap clap clap—!
As the students who had performed the song and dance finished their performance and left the stage, Cecily, who was very excited, kept clapping her hands.
“It’s truly the Elven Kingdom. In our village, it was all about simple dancing and singing. This is so cool!”
At that moment, the next group came up on stage.
It was Harris’s team, each holding an instrument in their hand, including something large floating in the air.
“That’s another unusual instrument… Oh! It’s Mr. Harris!”
She was looking with interest at a drum set made up of several drums and cymbals woven from plant branches when she spotted Harris and beamed with delight.
Still, since we had spent quite some time together, it was nice to see each other again after such a long time.
“Wow… Mr. Harris, you’ve grown so much in the meantime. If I hadn’t become a high elf, I would have been surpassed long ago.”
Lafory slowly nodded his head as he watched Cecily express her admiration as she prepared for the stage.
Certainly, in his view, Harris’s growth was unusual.
‘I felt that you were exceptionally capable of accepting the power of nature, but you’ve gotten even stronger since I last saw you. You’ve already contracted with four spirits. One of them is a very rare spirit…’
But those thoughts disappeared as if washed away the moment I saw Shapiron on stage.
When I saw my daughter working hard to prepare something, a soft smile just lingered on my lips.
Then Harris, who had been exchanging glances with his crew members, stepped forward and opened his mouth.
“We have prepared a song that is a little bit different. It is a song that I used to sing in my hometown, but it might be unfamiliar to many of you here···.”
His soft voice spread out in all directions with the help of wind, sound, and two spirits, captivating the ears of the audience.
That voice, which was so loud that people passing by from afar would turn their heads and look at it without realizing it, had the power to focus everyone’s attention even before the stage started.
“···Let’s begin.”
Their stage began amidst the expectations of those around them.
~♪
It started with the heavy sound of stringed instruments, followed by the heart-pounding sound of drums and sharp instrumental sounds.
The audience tilted their heads at the unfamiliar music.
‘What is this music?’
A moment when everyone was shocked by a sound they had never heard or seen before.
“To the end of the white sandy beach~♪”
Harris’s powerful voice carried through the hall on the wind.
Everyone’s attention within the range of the singing sound was focused on him.
“hmm?”
“What is this?”
The elves’ songs were mostly lyrical and soft in tone.
Their basic dislike of loud noises influenced the development of music.
It’s not that I haven’t encountered any songs with an exciting atmosphere, but they all just didn’t suit my tastes.
The dwarven songs, which were mainly comprised of loud singing, were downright detestable, so as time passed, this stereotype could only become stronger.
But the music being presented on stage now was different from the indiscriminate noise we had heard so far.
Moderate moderation and thoroughly calculated tempo.
The natural power in Harris’s voice forced the listeners to tune in, and made their hearts, which had been accustomed to it, beat slowly.
“Wow···.”
And the high elves Laforie and Cecily were also feeling the same way.
‘Wow. That’s a lot of empathy. I didn’t know you had this kind of talent.’
Unlike Cecily, who kept shrugging her shoulders and looking at the stage with sparkling eyes, the experienced Laforie calmly analyzed the song while enjoying the music.
‘The theme of the lyrics is… a journey to find oneself.’
Harris has been wandering the continent alone since he was young, living the life of a mercenary.
Although he had gone through all kinds of hardships and arrived at the Elven Kingdom, his essence was freedom.
Somehow, don’t those lyrics seem very similar to Harris’ current situation?
~♪
While everyone was absorbed in his voice and focused on the music, the stage floor was soon covered in thick steam.
The white smoke that gathered only at the feet of those standing on stage made it look as if they were above the clouds.
“Wow, the spirits are like that···.”
That wasn’t all.
A variety of spirits, including the spirits of light that sparkle brilliantly above their heads…
Hwaruk—
Even the pillar of fire rising from the floor.
It was the height of splendor.
“Wow!”
“Ooh—!”
The elves who had been quietly appreciating the performance and nodding their heads until the previous stage were caught up in the atmosphere and began to move their whole bodies without realizing it.
“I will find my dream~♪”
The spirits that communicated with them radiated a fierce presence, and the surrounding natural forces, assimilated into the energy contained in the music, shook madly.
Everyone, including those leading the stage, those watching the stage, and the spirits that resonated with them, were immersed in the emotions of the song.
‘That level of sensitivity.’
And Laforie looked at it and admired it again.
The sensitivity continued to surge with Harris standing in the center, influencing their spirits.
Something was different from the communication with others.
~♪
And when the stage ended with the last note.
Clap clap clap clap—!
“Wow—!”
“Oh! It’s something different, I like it!”
Countless rounds of applause and praise from the audience poured down on the stage.
It made me immerse myself in the music without even feeling any resistance to the unfamiliarity.
“Wow! This is the kind of music! Elven Kingdom is truly amazing! This is my first time seeing something like this!”
Cecily, who was enjoying the music to the fullest, chattered to him with a flushed face.
“Um… Actually, this is the first time I’ve heard of it too.”
“yes?”
“Hahaha—”
Looking at Cecily tilting her head, Laforie could only laugh.
In fact, that was the thing I was most curious about about that music.
‘I’ve lived a long time and have been exposed to a lot of music from the continent of Ion, but this is a first for me.’
Looking at the structure, it was definitely not a system that was created in a short period of time, so he couldn’t help but be confused.
‘It’s not like I fell from somewhere else.’
He shook his head as he watched them disappear behind him, saying his final goodbyes on stage.
Moreover, although others did not seem to notice it yet, the performance just now was not just about great communication.
‘The moment I listen to music and enjoy it… the flow of my internal energy becomes smoother. Although it’s still at a weak level, I can’t believe that music alone can have this much of an influence on an unspecified number of people.’
Laforie burst into laughter.
He thought he had potential, but wasn’t this too far off from what he expected?
‘This is going to cause quite a stir.’
As it was a square in the center of a crowded place, people continued to gather, entranced by the sound that spread strangely wide and clear.
A situation where new music was forcibly hammered into all of their heads.
Because of this, even after the show was over, the stadium was still in chaos due to the noisy crowd.
Just as someone had intended, the cross-cultural influence successfully created ripples in their minds.
***
Southern part of the Ion Continent.
There was a hideout of some kind underground in an unvisited wasteland, quite far from the tribal confederation nation of Kalkos.
Inside the large stone chamber, which was hard to believe was dug out of the ground, was filled with all sorts of incomprehensible magic.
Magic circles and barriers carved into the floor, walls, and ceiling, as well as altars, magic tools, and other magical tools.
A dozen or so hooded figures appeared in that bizarre space, quietly looking around.
“Ready?”
“Almost done.”
A small, old man answered in a gloomy voice to the voice of a large man.
“Fortunately, you managed to avoid the attention of the church. Those guys who have been hanging around here and there lately have been quite annoying.”
“···It was quite difficult.”
Because the Shinshu Sect was very sensitive, like bees whose hive had been poked by the sudden appearance of the Immortal King, there was considerable difficulty in carrying out the work.
A grand plan that had spanned decades was almost exposed.
It was only natural that the Immortal King of this generation had infiltrated the Great Temple of the Holy Land, no matter how he did it.
Even though he was hurt and defeated, the fact itself was enough to stimulate a sense of crisis in the church.
Of course, the Shinsin Church was keeping quiet and not revealing such detailed circumstances, but they were able to find out with difficulty thanks to a colleague with special abilities.
“You won’t regret it, right?”
“Of course. If I can just destroy this world, then I don’t care anymore.”
When the ritual begins, the old man, who is the subject, will be in a state worse than death, but his anger towards the world makes him not care about such things.
“They say even the Immortal King has been resurrected, so if you just help him out a little, he’ll take care of the rest. Hehehehe…”
“Hmm… Yes. He certainly seems capable. I don’t know where he’s hiding and what he’s doing now, though.”
A large man who had been observing the situation looked at the old man who was laughing like crazy.
Now, when the interest completes its consciousness, the present peace will be shattered and an even more chaotic world will arrive.
The Immortal King, who was trying to cover the continent with death, could not just sit by and watch this golden opportunity unfold.
And his moves will be of great help to them in their future work.
Those with their hoods pulled down met each other’s gaze.
There really isn’t much time left now.
“Against the heavens.”
“For the pledge.”
The true forces of evil were quietly squirming in the shadows.
