39.16% Arcane: Champion Witness System / Chapter 141: -139- Powder!

Kapitel 141: -139- Powder!

"Powder wants to be an idol!"

"Don't be silly, Powder. Do you think we're just playing around?" Linwin saw Powder stand up, excitedly raising her hand and shouting, so he reached out and grabbed Powder's hand with a lack of enthusiasm.

However, Powder tried to jump, and seeing this, Linwin stood up and gently held Powder in his arms. Powder, being much shorter than Linwin, felt effortless in his embrace, and it didn't look awkward.

Caught in Linwin's arms, Powder immediately tried to wriggle free, but Linwin had a gentle hold, preventing her escape. The result was Powder flailing and exclaiming, "I'm not making trouble! Linwin, I want to be an idol too! I can sing!"

Turning her head back to Linwin, she said, "Let me go, I want to go! I can sing well!"

"Powder, not this time! This is not a joke," Linwin told Powder and then looked apologetically at Mel before giving a stern look to Jayce, who was stifling a laugh.

Perhaps, in Jayce's eyes, this scene was genuinely amusing. Or maybe, whenever Linwin suffered a setback, Jayce found it quite satisfying.

"Even though we're trying to promote Seraphine as Piltover's idol, Powder, what we're doing here fundamentally aims to foster unity between Piltover and Zaun. We want Piltover to accept Zaun, and Zaunites to embrace Piltover. So, it's a crucial matter, more important than anything else right now."

"Jayce, Mel, Camille, Silco, and I all have our respective roles. Powder, you can't join in to cause trouble."

"Mn!" Hearing Linwin, Powder immediately pursed her lips and lowered her head, silent.

She would continue causing trouble. As long as she kept at it, Linwin would eventually agree. She knew Linwin spoiled her the most.

But now, after calming down, Powder's face turned red, realizing she was not sitting but lying in Linwin's arms, held securely by his embrace.

If Powder could see her face, she would notice it blushing bright red.

"Uh, I got it. I got it, okay."

"Linwin, you can let go now."

"Oh!" Linwin immediately released the grip around Powder's hands.

But just like Powder, Linwin's heart was pounding, making a loud thud.

Yes, indeed.

Linwin has always treated Powder like a younger sister. Even though Powder is now an adult, when Linwin was holding her just now, he only thought about how to stop her, without considering anything else.

But now, upon reflection, Linwin realizes that Powder's body is soft, and her hair is fragrant. Without him noticing, Powder has truly grown up.

Finally, Linwin notices that Powder is no longer the little girl, always reaching out for something to eat. She has blossomed into a beautiful young lady. Powder is no longer a little troublemaker.

Silco, wearing a stern expression, observes the scene. 

After a while, he coldly snorts and then speaks in a disapproving tone, "Linwin, Powder has grown up. You need to be more mindful of your actions. She's not the same mischievous little girl from ten years ago. I understand that your relationship is close, but no matter how close, you have to remember the boundaries between men and women!"

Linwin smiles wryly, nodding, "Alright, Silco, I understand."

"It's fine!" However, as soon as Linwin agrees with Silco, Powder, who has been silent, immediately protests, glaring at Silco and saying through gritted teeth, "It doesn't matter! I don't mind at all."

"Yeah, that's right! Linwin can hug me if he wants to. Well....Ugh.... Silco, in any case, you don't need to interfere!"

"It's none of your business!" Powder says to Silco.

Silco: "..."

Helpless, Silco sighs, covers his face with his hand, and shakes his head heavily.

Indeed, age brings changes. 

Jayce bursts into laughter, holding his stomach. Mel is also covering her mouth, laughing. Even the usually cold Camille shows a faint smile.

Despite Powder's lively and eccentric behavior, her openness about her feelings and unabashed affection for Linwin make Camille appreciate her.

If only she could have faced her own emotions so directly from the beginning.

Would her life be different now?

Camille wonders, lowering her head in silence.

But some things... are better left unexamined. Once pondered upon, they bring sadness.

If her heart were still human, it would probably tighten and ache now. But she can't manage that.

Camille speaks up, saying, "Linwin, Silco, I think there's no harm in letting her participate."

"What we're doing this time, essentially, aligns with what Linwin said – to promote harmony between the twin cities. It's a kind of...song gathering? Party? Anyway, we're using Seraphine's magic to change the perceptions between the citizens of both cities, right?"

Linwin nods.

"So, why not make it more lively? It would be even better." Camille smiles and continues, "I've been thinking about this for a while. Zaun gained independence, Piltover counterattacked against Noxus, and we've given up our hatred to form the Twin City Alliance."

"Shouldn't we celebrate this with a grand party?"

"Uh, I see what you mean, Camille. I understand," Linwin says, smiling and nodding at Camille.

Camille is right. The essence of this event is to use Seraphine's magic to change the perceptions of the citizens of both cities. So, why not make it grander and more memorable?

"But Powder, how are you planning to sing?"

"I-I can become an idol?"

Seeing the situation change, Powder immediately speaks up, "I can sing songs by Mr. Melon, Queen Powder, and the song about the big crab slaughtering the chubby dragon."

"..."

"Are these songs you made up yourself, Powder?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Powder clasps her hands together beside her face, looking at Linwin expectantly. "Can I sing?"

"..."

Camille turns into Silco. She places her hand on her forehead, and this elegant lady sighs softly, saying, "I suddenly regret this."

"Hahaha, Linwin, your sister is so interesting. I finally understand why you always talk about her and why you like her so much," Jayce laughs heartily. Mel is also smiling as she looks at Powder.

Is Powder causing a scene?

Certainly.

Just like her name suggests.

Powder's personality is as explosive and lively as her name suggests.

She's a Gun"Powder".

//// It's entirely different in Chinese but it's practically the same meaning. ////

However, it doesn't make people feel repulsed; instead, it comes across as genuine and adorable.

Now, watching the lively scene unfold with laughter after she mentioned the titles of the songs she intends to sing, Powder clenches her fists in frustration and stomps her feet.

"What are you all laughing at?!"

"What's so funny?!"

"I'll sing for you right now!"


Kapitel 142: -140- Explosive drummer – Powder!

Powder ultimately didn't get the chance to become a singer. 

However, as a consolation, she found an opportunity to wield drumsticks. 

When Vander returned and learned about this, he immediately reassured Linwin, sharing a plethora of words. 

Essentially, powder was quite a genius. 

There was a band in the last drop and one of the member played drums, then powder became fascinated with drum for a while and started learning the basics with two broken wooden sticks she picked up. 

Though she abandoned it due to a short-lived interest, with a skilled teacher, Powder could quickly master drumming techniques again.

As a result, Powder became the drummer. 

Although she was a bit dissatisfied, feeling she could sing, if everyone preferred her as a drummer, she was willing to comply. 

After all, drumming was quite cool! 

When the time comes for the singer to follow her rhythm, if she's unhappy, she can drum faster and tire them out!

Given the significance of Seraphine's singing for the future of both cities, this matter started operation the next day.

In the Upper City, Jayce, accompanied by craftsmen from Piltover and Zaun, begins constructing a massive flying stage for Seraphine in the laboratory. 

Meanwhile, Mel is busy promoting and creating a new festival celebration in Piltover called "Twin City Day."

////Ngl that sounds kinda lame in English.....////

The exact date for the first Twin City Day is yet to be determined, given the uncertainty surrounding the commencement of the festivities. 

However, Piltover citizens, known for their love of festivals like Progress Day, are intrigued despite some reservations about Zaun. 

Many are curious to see what kind of celebration Mel promises for Twin City Day.

In the Lower City, Silco's tasks align with Mel's efforts, both working to generate excitement in their respective regions. 

Meanwhile, Powder practices drumming, and Zeri, with her innate electric abilities, does not need much work – she's a natural. 

Linwin, having promised that Zeri could help, appoints her as the bassist for the team.

As for Linwin himself, he has his own significant tasks in this lively preparation for the celebration of Twin City Day.

While continuing his duties as the Ninth Councilor in the Upper City, Linwin simultaneously searches for the ideal location for the celebration, particularly where Seraphine will perform. 

Choosing the right venue is crucial, as it significantly impacts the success of the event.

With Camille's assistance, Linwin ultimately decides to host the celebration on the Boundry Markets.

"This location is indeed excellent," Linwin remarks as he and Camille stand atop a high building on the afternoon of January 20th. 

Using her mobility gear, Camille maneuvers through the densely built city, and despite Linwin's flying abilities, she proves to be quite competitive in terms of speed.

"Here, we can reach Piltover above and connect to Zaun below," Camille whispered. "The Boundary Market is the perfect place. It tightly links Zaun and Piltover, signifying our unity despite any conflicts."

"Agreed. We'll reserve this space for Piltover residents to view from above and Zaunites below. However, we need a solution for external guests," Linwin nodded and asked.

"On that note, Linwin, Silco sent an invitation to Noxus. However, upon receiving their reply, Silco chose to burn it," Camille explained.

"Is he deliberately provoking Noxus?" Linwin, squatting on a spire, raised a skeptical eyebrow. "What about Demacia? What's their stance?"

"They'll send representatives to Twin City Day and expressed interest in acquiring a batch of Hextech gemstone when they leave. Demacia, despite being wealthy, finds Hextech station maintenance costly, so they wish to exchange their knowledge for the gemstone," Camille continued.

"Are we trying to ally with Demacia? Since we have a common enemy, Noxus," Linwin questioned.

Camille shook her head. "It's not an alliance. Silco invited Noxus for Twin City Day as a political gesture. Also, before Noxus invaded Piltover, our ally was Noxus, not Demacia. The relationship between Demacia and Piltover wasn't good then. But Zaun and Demacia have a decent connection, which can be a reference."

Taking a sigh, Camille mentioned the complication which was caused by her brother, Stevan.

In the end, Stevan still brought the wolves into their home.

Her foolish brother, before his death, couldn't manage to do a single good deed.

"I understand. Besides Demacia, who else is coming?" Linwin inquired.

"We could contact Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, and Bilgewater. The other than Demacia and Noxus, the other places are chaotic territories without city-states or governments, making it impossible to invite them to witness Twin City Day," Camille explained.

Speaking of Bilgewater, Linwin asked about the current ruler of the Serpent Isles, whether it was Gangplank or Sarah.

"Who's Sarah?" Camille responded to Linwin's question with another question.

"Got it. So Gangplank is still in power, right?" Linwin clarified.

Camille fell silent abruptly. After a pause, she looked up at Piltover and, with her head held high, said, "Sometimes I feel like you know everything. Despite being so young, you understand so much. You even seem to know things happening hundreds of miles away."

Linwin paused, and Camille continued speaking.

"And you seem not to have set up defenses against me. It's quite helpful, Linwin. But you, you need to be more careful. You're too mysterious."

"Can I interpret these aspects as the favor of the goddess Janna towards you?" Linwin nodded.

"Alright, let's get back to work."

After Linwin's ambiguous response, Camille didn't press further and gracefully walked a few steps forward. 

She calmly descended, piercing the air with two grappling hooks as she dropped towards the depths of Zaun from the nearly kilometer-high altitude.

In the air, the sound of grappling hooks tearing through the air echoed. Linwin witnessed Camille's elegant figure dancing in the sky.

---

"Don Don Thud!"

The rhythmic sound echoed both inside and outside the room. Linwin, accompanied by the excited and nervous Zeri, approached the door where Powder was practicing drums. Linwin knocked on the door energetically.

After a moment, the door opened, revealing a blue, furry little head. "Who is it?"

"Wow!"

Seeing the sweaty Powder, Zevi became instantly thrilled. Behind Linwin, she shouted, "I-I-I'm Zeri! Miss Powder, hello! I'm your fan, and I really love you!"

"?"

"And, and I'm the bass player. I'm part of your team!"

Looking at this overly enthusiastic girl, Powder felt a headache coming on. 

Meanwhile, Linwin couldn't help but find it amusing.

In a way, Zeri's personality was quite similar to Powder's. Both were lively and rambunctious individuals.

Knowing that Zeri is her little fan, Powder immediately became proud, puffing up her seemingly non-existent but slightly noticeable chest. With a grin, she said, "Since you're my fan, you have to listen to me."

"No problem!"

"But don't call me Miss Powder anymore, just call me Powder."

"Sure, Powder?"

Linwin, watching the two girls quickly become familiar, smiled. 

Now, the plan was about halfway done. The remaining part was with Jayce – when he finishes constructing the stage, they could set a date for the grand celebration.

Currently, Piltover and Zaun's idol group had three members:

Soulful vocalist – Seraphine.

Explosive drummer – Powder.

Electronic bassist – Zeri.

Well, at least for now, it seemed pretty good, right? But is it a bit lacking? Idol groups are supposed to have at least four members, preferably five?

Well, if it comes to that, they can bring Vi on board! She may not sing or play instruments, but she can surely dance, right? If not, she can perform some incredible feats!

Do a few backflips!

Anyway, just as Camille said, the more lively, the better!

Linwin wanted the entire world to witness the era belonging to Zaun and Piltover!
