Bab 108: Chapter 108: Autumn Song
[You were a little surprised by your encounter with Sirin. Her story and the starry night sky gave you some inspiration. You thought you should write down this melody and expand it into a song... Of course, that will have to be postponed.]
[After spending a few days in this remote town, you set out on your journey home... Before leaving, you played a few farewell songs for everyone in the town, and also played a melody you expanded for Sirin. Although it cannot be composed into a song, its beautiful melody has been remembered by her, and she is particularly looking forward to the song you write for her.]
["If my mother comes back, I will definitely sing for her!" — That's what Sirin said]
[In the end, you found the homeless man again... Although he always tried to avoid you, he was finally stopped by you]
[Tell him that if he really cares about his daughter, he should bravely step forward and express his feelings. This kind of love that belongs to family affection is reassuring and joyful no matter when it is expressed... instead of avoiding it like this and allowing the original mistake to continue to expand.]
[He pushed you away roughly and accused you of talking nonsense without knowing anything. Then he angrily scolded everything around him and finally collapsed to the ground with a look of loss and sadness... You witnessed the whole process from his excitement to his anger, and finally his emotional breakdown, and confirmed that you did not find the wrong person]
[You comforted him a little and gave him some financial help... not much, but enough for him to cope with half a month. At the same time, you also told him about your agreement with Sirin, and that you hoped that he would bring the song to Sirin after you perfected it... This also gave him a reasonable excuse to meet Sirin and said that if he didn't want to, forget it.]
[As expected, he agreed... and accepted your money, and begged you to take him to the town... Obviously, he has some goals, which is a good thing, isn't it?]
[You took him to a nearby town, said goodbye to him, and sent blessings for his future, wishing him to be happy when he reunited with Sirin]
[And you officially set out on your journey home... But you still encountered some interesting things along the way, such as meeting a "great magician"]
[The magician who calls herself "Vill-V" recognized you at first sight and approached you mysteriously, hoping that you could provide some musical support for her performance. In exchange, you won't need a ticket to watch her performance in the future~]
[You are a little surprised. After all, Vill-V is very confident. She even boasted that her talent in magic is equal to your and Eden's talent in music and art. They are both "stars" that others cannot touch.]
[You watched a few of her magic tricks and found that it was true. You immediately offered to accompany her performance... You know, this is also an interesting thing to see, isn't it? By the way, you can also use your fame to advertise for Vill-V. After all, her performance is really amazing.]
[The only problem is... Vill-V's personality is a bit weird. you always feel like she has some mental... problems? So when she's resting, you try to play some songs to soothe her, but this actually allows you to see her weird side...]
[She is timid, self-abased, and has a strong sense of insecurity all around her, but she will soon regain her composure and return to her original confident and arrogant attitude. She will just be much quieter when you play, and will no longer fiddle with her magic props. She will just stay beside you and listen to you play silently.]
[After you finished playing, she said that staying by your side for a "rest" seemed like a good option, and hoped that you could record a few similar songs for her... You felt that you had helped her, so you readily agreed.]
[But in the end, she further requested that you write a song for her or arrange a special song for her performance. You did not directly refuse, but just said that you needed inspiration and time. She also understood and said that she would look forward to your song. At the same time, she also encouraged you to bring Eden to watch her magic show. After all, it is a great honor for two big stars to come to watch her performance!]
[You were a little amused by her attitude, but you didn't reject her directly. After all, although Vill-V acted a little strange, you could feel that she was a good person... and you two could be considered friends.]
[At the end, you signed one of Vill-V's magic props at her request, and then you both went your separate ways.]
[You returned to Mu Continent, took a short break, and after adapting to the weather from snow to cold autumn, you began to prepare for your "big event"]
[After all, Eden's birthday is coming soon]
————————
Hmmm~
It was Nozomi's brisk humming. The melody was clearly uplifting, but it carried an inexplicable tenderness.
"La~ La la la~…Hmm, this won't do… La~ La la~"
While adjusting the melody he had conceived, he tried to record the lyrics he had thought of, and then adjusted them slightly according to the melody, repeating this process over and over again, gradually perfecting the song that he had first given to Sirin.
Da Da——
There were some hurried footsteps, and along with them came...
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Eden's voice.
"Eden~"
Hearing the familiar voice, Nozomi smiled, stopped humming, took back the terminal used to record inspiration, and then tilted his head to think about it, then turned his head away as if he realized something belatedly, pretending to be angry.
"Eden has become a big star. She's starting to act like a big shot. She's being late on purpose. Hehe..."
"Nozomi... why are you like this?"
Eden found it a little funny when she saw Nozomi's deliberate look.
"I should be the one saying this... And being late is a girl's privilege, isn't that what you said?"
"I did say that, but that doesn't count now~ Anyway, I need an apology gift, okay?"
As he spoke, Nozomi opened his arms towards Eden.
"Come~"
"You can actually tell me directly..."
Eden smiled helplessly, also opened her arms, and gently hugged him. With a little force from her hands, she lifted Nozomi's body and allowed him to fall to the ground.
"Hehe~"
Nozomi hummed twice, his voice filled with obvious pleasure and then whispered softly in Eden's ear.
"I miss you~"
Like the breeze blowing through leaves, like the sound of black hair wrapped around fingers, the gentle whispers and the emotions contained in them almost melted Eden... so much so that her movements subconsciously became a little flustered, and her body softened a little for a moment.
But fortunately, she reacted immediately, hugged Nozomi tightly, used his body to regain her balance, and then responded in a similar voice.
"Me too, Nozomi~"
The only response she got was Nozomi's happy laughter and intimate face rubbing.
"I say... aren't your roles reversed?"
Fidel and her husband stood side by side behind Eden, looking at the two of them being so affectionate, and spoke helplessly.
"I think Eden should do this to you... Why is it the other way around here?"
"Besides... you two are so disgusting. You are our artists. You are really in trouble now."
"That's right."
As Fidel spoke, she looked at her husband Gunn and teased the two of them together.
"...Hahaha" x2
The words of the two agents seemed to pull Nozomi and Eden out of their "world of two". With some cheerful laughter, Eden and Nozomi let go of each other, but they still held hands and walked in front of Gunn and Fidel.
"For us, it doesn't really matter who does it... After all, it's fun to switch roles occasionally, isn't it?"
"Just like some people always like to swap out actors in an opera, letting a man play the heroine and a woman play the hero, the fun and romance it brings is also unique and can leave a mark in the audience's memory."
Eden and Nozomi did not seem to reflect on their recent actions at all, and even came up with some convincing excuses, leaving the two agents speechless.
"Ah... I can't argue with you two, and you two can do whatever you want. We don't intend to know that you two are in a relationship... No, are you two really in a relationship now?"
'I always feel like we have transitioned to living together after marriage.' Gunn didn't say this directly.
"Hmm...does it count?"
Nozomi tilted his head slightly, glanced at Eden, and asked in confusion.
"Does it count?"
Eden seemed to sense something as well and turned her head to look at him and asked the same question.
After a moment's thought, they both nodded and answered.
"I think so."
"I can't stand you two at all..."
The two managers covered their faces together and showed headaches at the same time... Can we say they are a real couple? Their movements and expressions are very consistent~
"Okay, we have important things to do today, so we need to get going quickly, otherwise..."
Nozomi looked at the sky and found that the sun was setting, so he urged.
"But I'm about to miss it~"
"Hmm? What?"
"Hehe... Eden can look forward to it for a while~"
As Nozomi spoke, he took Eden into the car, while the two agents sat in the front seat and drove.
After arriving at the destination, Gunn and Nozomi left together, leaving only Fidel and Eden waiting there.
However... Eden looked at the fiery red maple forest stretching into the distance and had some guesses. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, with some anticipation in her golden eyes.
After waiting for a while, Eden slowly walked forward at Fidel's signal.
The soft grass is still green, but with a little bit of light yellow, as if to match the late autumn season. Fiery red maple leaves hang on the treetops, and the dusk light passes through the leaves, casting a vague light under the tree. The tips of the grass sway gently, and together with the fallen leaves, they pluck the strings unique to the autumn light.
As the autumn wind blows, the maple leaves sway gently, making bursts of sounds, as if they are singing along with the melody.
Continuing forward, we heard some familiar noisy sounds. Looking up, we could see many familiar figures. They were laughing, congratulating, and setting off fireworks, causing the colorful ribbons to fly and land on the tips of Eden's brown-red hair.
The musical instruments were neatly placed around, each in its own place. If you looked closely, you could see that they were arranged entirely in the style of a small concert. There was also a gorgeous harp with a burgundy bow tied on it, which seemed to be someone's gift.
rustle--
It was the sound of light footsteps, walking slowly on the grass covered with maple leaves, accompanying the melody composed by the blooming flowers and leaves, and the strings plucked by the lingering autumn breeze.
Turning around, she could see Nozomi placing his gift in her hands with a gentle and happy smile.
"Happy birthday, Eden~"
The breeze blew by, like a transparent river, bringing his words into her ears and his blessings into her heart.
"...Your arrangements are always surprising, but they are also so to my liking, Nozomi."
Eden opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only smile, with a little sigh and a little happiness, and responded softly.
"It would be best if you like it~"
"Can I open it and take a look?"
"Nature."
With Nozomi's permission, Eden slowly untied the gift ribbon on the package and took out a... dark brown dress.
"......"
Nozomi's gift surprised everyone for a moment, and Eden's father's gaze instantly swept over with a hint of subtlety and scrutiny.
"…Can I try?"
Eden was a little stunned at first, but then she seemed to understand something from the past. She smiled, glanced at the simple changing room next to him, and asked.
"Sure~"
Without paying attention to the subtle and meaningful gazes around him, Nozomi nodded, seeming to be quite confident in his work.
Immediately, Eden walked quickly into the changing room, seeming to be impatient.
After a while, everyone saw her, attracting everyone's attention like a star.
(We won't describe the dress here you can think of it as Eden's dress in the game.)
It was standard, well-fitting, and it highlighted Eden's beauty very clearly. Everything was so "just right"... except that the look in Eden's father's eyes when he looked at Nozomi was a little questioning and stern.
Hmm... I'm afraid he was thinking about how Nozomi obtained Eden's body data.
"...Thank you, I like it very much, Nozomi."
Even though she didn't face the mirror to see her current appearance, Eden had already gotten the answers she needed from the expressions and attitudes of the people around her. She smiled, raised her hand to slightly push her hair behind her ear, and walked to Nozomi's side.
Silently, her fingertips gently slid across his wrist, brushed across his palm, overlapped with his fingertips, crossed them, and then interlocked their fingers.
"It would be best if you like it~"
Nozomi smiled, and then walked briskly with Eden to the musical instruments, calling his former classmates to come together. Everyone also smiled gently, sat in their seats, and picked up their instruments.
"Well... let's sing, Eden. It's been a while since we sang together~"
"Yeah..."
Eden nodded, responding as usual.
"Just this time, I have to go first~"
"It's natural."
"Well, then the tune this time... let's incorporate some appropriate emotions."
Eden glanced around, taking in all the beautiful scenery.
To reunite with old friends and to be with soulmates.
Then, she smiled, lowered her eyes slightly, and spoke softly.
Hmmm~
A wonderful lawn concert begins...
.......
.........
"Sister, are you unhappy?"
Rin, who was sitting aside and preparing food for the dinner party and the celebratory cake, tilted her head in confusion and looked at Sakura who was in a daze.
"Hmm? Me? No."
Sakura, who was awakened by Rin's shout, was stunned for a moment, then she withdrew her gaze from Nozomi and Eden who were still singing, and began to organize the tableware that would be used later.
"Really? Your eyes were fixed on Brother Nozomi just now and didn't move..."
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get the drinks... they will definitely be very tired and thirsty after they finish singing."
"Oh..."
Rin didn't suspect anything and just helped obediently, and Sakura fell silent again, but...
"......"
Sakura's gaze would still drift to Nozomi and Eden from time to time.
Especially when she saw the smile on Nozomi's face, she always felt a sense of inexplicable loss and a hint of joy.
Am I... jealous? Or... blessing?
Sakura was a little confused.
However, I still feel somewhat... unwilling...
It's so strange, why would I have such an idea?
Sakura shook her head, her long pink hair like cherry blossoms fluttering and blending among the falling maple leaves... and in the end, she could only look away and focus on the things at hand, no longer looking at them, or rather... no longer looking at him.
