Episode 192 < Prima Donna. (4) >

Words of determination.
I waited for those words to come out.
“hmm.”
I turned the aura on my body.
The intoxication slowly wore off.
‘I’m coming back to my senses.’
In our tower, there is a common sense that is not common sense: [It is not polite to use an auror name while drinking alcohol and talk to yourself.]
As much as I love this ceremony, it’s even more rude to listen while drunk when Sonia makes a serious point.
‘The attire… . ‘What, why is my top a mess?’
How drunk did you get last night?
Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink?
“sorry. Sonia. Is it okay if I take a quick shower and start talking? “I want to hear these stories with a clean body.”
-ah. Well, there’s no need to do that… .
“there is.”
Anyone who confides in me about important decisions must be treated with respect.
“There’s probably a stream nearby. “I’m going to wash up right away, so can you wait a moment?”
-… … yes.
Sonia answered in a somewhat creeping voice.
I went to the stream and washed. It was a place I glanced at last night while riding the flying bathtub. As I soaked in the cool water, my mental waste was completely cleared away. After replaying the Demon Heavenly Art from formula 1 to 7 in my head, I stood up.
“Let’s sit down and talk.”
-yes.
I sat down with Sonia.
“Do you want to act yourself in the next performance?”
Sonia nodded her head.
“It means that you don’t want to retire and want to continue to be an actor in blood drama.”
-yes.
“If it’s okay, can you tell me the reason?”
Sonia was worried. He was seriously choosing his own language.
As I looked at the eager face in front of me, I suddenly thought of something completely unrelated to the current situation.
‘It’s the same as the director. me.’
Whenever a child wanted to reveal something, the director carefully prepared the child. First, he refined his body and mind. As soon as I woke up, I chased away the drunkenness and took a bath, and the director’s traces were already deeply visible on my face.
“…….”
okay.
I calmly waited for Sonia.
-… It’s definitely not that I don’t like life being treated like this.
As my auror-dried hair was drying again in the sunlight, Sonia opened her mouth.
– On the contrary, I am really happy to enjoy such a windfall for free. yes. My family and fellow countrymen will not be able to ignore me. There is a huge amount of gold coins piled up in my warehouse. Thanks to Kekerukker, I can live happily for the rest of my life… .
Sonia turned her head slightly.
The Black Dragon Master and the Paladin were talking in their sleep in the flower field. The Black Dragon Master: “Ugh” “Ah” “The engine is slowly starting… “I just muttered words that didn’t make any sense. The paladin moaned, “No,” “It’s a misunderstanding,” and “No.”
It is a mystery as to what started the engine and what is the misunderstanding.
They’re my colleagues, but they’re really fun friends… .
-I was sure yesterday.
Sonia looked at us in turn.
-You guys drink, talk, talk… . When I danced, played, and sang, I felt life. I thought that was life. no. I felt like it would be nice if that were life.
The hand on Sonia’s knee was clenched tightly.
-I don’t know why life exists only in the sounds of you talking and laughing. I want to be part of it too. I will also go on stage. me too… . Just like you. I want to become beautiful.
I nodded my head.
I too have been in the same situation as Sonia.
Therefore, I know what Sonia most desperately needs to say at this moment.
“Let me help you.”
I opened a civilization store.
[Purchase ‘Appears in a Dream.’]
[100 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 6602.]
“You have been watching me from closer than anyone else. The choreography, stage, and Auror operation method that I came up with were all taught in real time as if it were a class. “In theory, there is nothing more to teach, so all that remains is experience.”
-yes!
“But before I help you, let me ask you one thing.”
I smiled kindly.
As a leader of the Demonic Cult in name and identity and a trainee of the Demonic Heavenly Art, he must possess what is called Western Beauty.
“How many days have we been starving, Sonia?”
There was silence.
The fairy, born into a wealthy merchant family, tilted his head.
-… … Nem?
That’s a good response.
It took less than 30 minutes for Sonia’s cute expression to shatter into a scream.

After going through hellish training, the day of performance finally arrived.
For me, it was the last performance I directed in this world.
However, it will be a thrilling debut stage for Sonia.
[Quest ‘The Warring States Period: The Crisis of Classics’ progresses.]
[The current two-stage erosion rate is 11%.]
The quest progress for this stage is also very smooth. A blood drama that I created. The so-called dance theater has already spread throughout the city.
Not only [Bullshit], but other theater companies are also quietly jumping on the bandwagon.
Now, if you just leave it alone, the quest will break on its own.
“Yah. “This is my first time seeing it from the audience’s perspective.”
I smiled happily.
Below us, customers were filling the auditorium.
“This feels new again. How about the Black Dragon Lord? “Aren’t you nervous?”
“What is tension… … .”
The Black Dragon Master brushed the side of his hair back. He looked relaxed. But his other hand was curling its fingers.
Even though it doesn’t seem like it, you were nervous.
I suppressed laughter and turned my head.
“Are you completely fine, Paladin?”
“Hmm. I’ve been on stage a lot and have run a jazz bar before. I’m somewhat used to it. It’s not that I don’t feel nervous, though.”
“Uh oh. “Did you even run a jazz bar?”
“It’s an old story from the second year of Iptap.”
The paladin smiled bitterly.
“In the past, I wanted to make a living doing jazz. Luckily, people liked my music.”
“Hey.”
For your information, the Black Dragon Master was no longer a vampire, and the Holy Knight was no longer a Saegi clan. He was looking at the stage, floating in the air in his original form.
All three of us escaped [Personal Possession].
“I confidently opened a jazz bar that was only a dream to the outside world. “It was a wonderful experience in many ways.”
The Black Dragon Master tilted his head.
“I told you not to bring up the story of those days. Why are you suddenly talking to the Death King?”
“I changed my mind.”
“Hmm. Anyway, you are also the type to secretly go back and forth like this… . What was the name of the jazz bar? “I don’t remember.”
“Little Venice.”
“Oh, right. It was Venice. “You completely screwed up because of that.”
The Black Dragon Master chuckled.
“I borrowed money from evil people for no reason and ended up in huge debt. I heard it while drinking with the mafia. Some kind of S-class brat crawled in and hit the jackpot or something.”
“Managing money is very difficult for me… .”
“Fix it. As you say, vigilantes are always struggling for funding. Well, you met a good person through that incident… .”
“ah.”
I pointed to the stage.
“Shh, I guess it’s starting.”
The Black Dragon Master and Paladin immediately closed their mouths and looked at the stage. The Black Dragon Master wrote the script, the Paladin composed the music, and I choreographed it. Everyone worked together on directing.
This is the first collaboration between the three of us.
Actors danced on a dark stage.
“…….”
The Black Dragon Master trembled nervously.
He didn’t tremble even when he climbed the walls of the Aegim Empire and gave a speech to the soldiers. Am I the type of person who gets surprisingly nervous at times like this?
I lightly held the Black Dragon Master’s arm.
“… … “Death King.”
“yes.”
“Why are you grabbing my elbow…?” ?”
“It’s standard to hold hands, but the only hand I’m allowed to have is Raviel’s hand. Why is it a bit embarrassing to even hold hands with friends? But if you put your hand on your shoulder, it feels kind of arrogant, right? “I compromised with my elbows.”
“under…….”
The Black Dragon Master laughed slightly.
“You really are a fool.”
“I know there is such a minority opinion. “Black Dragon Queen.”
“really… ”
The Black Dragon Master sighed. The side face of the Black Dragon Master watching the performance was much more relaxed. His feet no longer trembled.
Dancing on stage continued.
“… … oh my god. “I think everyone is still immature as an Auror.”
“That’s at a high level. “You can’t expect it to be at our level.”
“It must be difficult to play music and choreograph at the same time… . No, but the music is better than I thought. “It’s not to the point where I can’t listen to it.”
We whispered.
A whispering sound could also be heard from the audience below.
-Uger. Isn’t something worse than usual?
-is it? This is my first time and it’s cool.
-I’m not sure, but I feel like my aurors are a bit weak… .
-It’s subtle.
also.
‘The audience recognizes it right away.’
It was the impact I was missing from the performance.
Until now, I had been coordinating the actors in the middle of the stage. The Aurors filled in the parts that were lacking, heated up the parts that seemed weak, and conducted the music.
However, in this performance, all actors participated in Aurors, choreography, and music.
My absence was also conveyed to the audience.
-hook.
-Hmm… !
The one-eyed Arika, the one-armed Yumar, and the one-eared Sakum, everyone danced as best as they could. Each person barely managed to emit the melody they were assigned to.
Of course, Sonia too.
I could see every drop of sweat the children shed.
‘are you okay.’
I clenched my fists.
‘It’ll be fine. ‘Our children.’
You are ready to succeed.
‘cheer up.’
The audience’s murmur became increasingly louder. The more regular customers were who fanatically followed the bullshit of the theater, the more disappointed they were.
What is this? It’s not something.
Those words were heard openly.
“…….”
The three of us swallowed in silence.
The climax has arrived on stage.
-…….
All the actors suddenly stopped moving.
The music that was playing by vibrating the aura also stopped.
The dark theater was engulfed in silence, and the audience was taken aback by the sudden silence. Just before the embarrassment spread further, Raviel Ivansia and Sonia, who played her role, opened their lips.
-Lascia, ch’io pianga—.
A song with a red aura rang loudly.
The audience flinched as soon as a lick of song escaped their lips.
Sonia recited the song she had learned while vomiting blood, as if she were actually vomiting blood.
-mia cruda, sorte….
It was impossible to teach an Auror to use an Auror to my level in a short period of time.
So, the three of us put our heads together and came up with a small production.
[A scene where an actor sings alone] was first introduced by our theater company.
“good.”
The Black Dragon Master whispered as he looked around at the audience’s reactions.
“It works, boy! “It worked.”
Our troupe’s blood drama was famous for not having any lines.
Occasionally the actors would dance and make noises, but they were like “Ooh!” “hook!” Sounds that have no meaning together. Or, they were just primitive pronunciations whose meaning was deliberately muffled.
No one in the audience expected an aria from an opera.
-la liberta….
Sonia has the skills to change the flaws in expectations into pleasure rather than discomfort.
It was thanks to the intensive teaching and training I received just for this moment.
An elf sang in the silent darkness.
-la liberta….
The hobgoblins watched Aria blankly.
From the look in their eyes, we sensed success.
“thank god.”
“huh. It’s a bit of a trick, but… .”
“It was a situation where I had to use a trick. Even if the overall quality is low, if the climax is worth the highlight, it can be overcome somehow. I took a breath… .”
We happily watched the performance continue.
[The current two-stage erosion rate is 10%.]
[We succeeded in reducing the two-level erosion rate to below 10%.]
[Quest clear!]
At that moment, I heard the tower’s voice announcing the completion of the quest.
I stood up, looking at Sonia and the actors.
“Shall we go?”
“already?”
“I was satisfied because I saw the children doing well without me. I think I would cry if I even saw the audience applauding for no reason. “Let’s go now.”
“You seem to have surprisingly weak tear ducts, you.”
“As for the Black Dragon Queen who cried on the 11th floor… .”
“Do you really want to get hit?”
The Black Dragon Master and Paladin also stood up.
It’s a little early, but we clapped for the actors without anyone hearing.
After the aria ended, dancing continued on stage again.
‘It’ll turn out okay.’
I looked at Sonia, who was sweating and performing passionately.
‘Goodbye.’
and.
“I declare the stage clear.”
The three of us spoke without any time difference.
[The Black Dragon Master declares stage clear.]
[The Paladin declares the stage clear.]
[Stage clear!]
Just before her eyes turned white, Sonia’s eyes scanned the air.
The direction I’m floating in.
Impossible as it was, I thought I made eye contact with Sonia.
[The 34th floor stage has been cleared.]
[Reward settlement takes place after entering the 35th floor.]
[Chain layer in progress – you will be forcibly transported to the 35th floor!]
White light surrounded us.
etc,
