Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

628 Birds, songs and feasts of celebration

The preparations for the banquet proceeded with a general outing of the inhabitants. There is some fragrant aroma around the square.

They said we don't mind waiting at the sheikh's house or in the square in front of it, and we're free to look around the settlement.

In the meantime, the harpies are preparing for the banquet, so I wonder if I can get in the way of moving around, even though they let me relax in the square over a cup of tea.

At Dominic's, who is also in the square during the preparations for the banquet, friends, acquaintance adults and the harpy children of the settlement who seem to have seen between the tasks and their hands free come to greet them.

In particular, children's harpies are often left in the square unassigned with not so much work to prepare for a banquet.

Ramona stopped me for once because my guests were in trouble, but as far as we're concerned, I'm used to being in orphanages and labyrinth villages.

When I told Ramona to that effect, the children seemed to be very happy.

"So your sister was at Term Wills, letting everyone hear the song?

"Yeah. Ill or Justia, then Sheila and Cyril, all together."

"Nice, sister"

That harpy named Lily was also coming to the square. Lily seems to hit Dominic's cousin.

Harpy's children shine their eyes at the Boundary Theatre story and look at the Boundary Theatre face with admiration. No, not only the kids, but the young harpies seem mostly interested in talking about boundary theater though. I still have the impression that these places resemble the Sai Lanes.

Well, there's that story, and it's the faces of Illumhilt and Justia and their theatrical relationships that are drawing attention, after all.

"I'm glad to see so many kids coming to my attention."

And, Cyril seems slightly unfamiliar with this kind of air. Unlike the theater, it's a direct exchange, and the labyrinth doesn't have that many children. Because Harpy's kids are adorable, or Cyril's expression is loose.

Sheila and Illumhilt also seem used to being surrounded by children because they grew up in orphanages or this way.

"So. This way, hold down the string..."

"Yeah, yeah, good"

Illumhilt, along with Justia, teaches the children how to play the instruments brought in.

"It was in our hands -"

Sheila may be showing Harpy's children coin-based tricks. The music doesn't really matter. It's a hidden art, but it's stunning inside, with coins crossing from right to left and from left to right of the handshake, and disappearing when you open both hands. According to Sheila, the orphanage kids also have a good uke, apparently. Because they don't actually know these tricks, Harpy's kids watch them eat in.

"Harpy's kids are adorable."

"True... Fluffy, with soft feathers."

And, Grace and the others have broken their expressions about such children.

"Nice to meet you, sister. I'm Irene."

"Yeah. Nice to meet you, Irne. I'm Claudia."

They say hello to us, too, in a relationship where the children are gathered. This is how you introduce yourself in a tongueless tone and ask me to shake your hand with small wings, or say something about smiling inside.

"I... am Marie. This kid is Mallane."

Claudia is used to the little ones, but Rosemary looks a little unfamiliar.

But, well, I say hello to the kids without offense, or I shake hands alongside the grinning Mallane.

Seeing Rosemary like that, Princess Stephania doesn't seem to be happy at all. Rosemary may be pointing at you.

"Wing shape, beautiful..."

"Is it? Not for me, I don't know."

Hervorte also gets the kids' attention. Seems like a reputation for having a beautiful back wing shape. The aesthetic eyes around there may well be unique to the Harpies.

"Is Mr. Rovisa Sai Lane, too?

"Yeah. I'm a mermaid. I like songs, but I don't know if you're that good at it."

Rovisa also seems to be wondering if it is Seylan because of the shape of her ears when she uses the technique of humanization. But I guess kids like it. He strokes Harpy's child with pleasure.

Seraphina and marl are also around, wondering about the blue brilliant butterfly feathers and the hair that is watered down the way, but letting them touch it lightly, all the time in contact with the children in a way that seems fun.

"This brother helped my sister Dominic."

"Really? Thanks brother!

"Oh, thank you."

And... I'm surrounded by children myself.

Well, when I rescued Dominic, Justia, and Illumhilt, I still feel like it was Cadkeus who worked, so I'll tell him around there.

"Cadkeus worked better then me."

That's what I said and called Cadkeus, and the kids were politely thanking Cadkeus and stroking him. Cadkeus, to say the least, is making his tail loose for the most part.

The demons of use have also found it safe, and it seems that it has become popular with children. Lindblum is still the same, so I'm just reluctant to get on my back.

Corliss, Belius, etc. are good players for the kids because they have big bodies, putting the kids on their backs, over their heads, and sliding their backs like slides. Floating Maxwell has also been touched with wonder. They are children who are not afraid of anything inside.

Later...... I bring the musical instruments I have collected from the regions here and there into the square, so I look at them with intrigue and so on, young and old.

For once, we are free to look at the instrument and touch it, and I brought some of it to you with the intention of giving it away... but when it comes to the flow of freeing the instrument here, I am sending out a circular saying that I thought it would not be prepared or accomplished, since Vera finished this sitting. So the Harpies also seemed to have the dilemma that they seemed interested but untouchable. Well, does it feel like it's the kids' turn now?

As such, the area around the square had been quite busy, but time passed soothingly. Eventually, you can cook for the banquet, or one dish after another is brought in.

For beasts hunted in the mountains, dishes with vanilla, spices, etc. And boiled river fish, roasted food. All kinds of mushroom dishes, mountain vegetables, etc. are exhaustive.

"Well. I was just about ready to cook... let's start a banquet."

Vera says, the harpies nod.

The busy square became quiet as it waited for Vera's next word. That's how his voice subsides, and he looks out at the faces where Vera resides and sounds a good passing voice.

"You guys will have heard it already. Dominic, who suddenly disappeared, returned to this settlement unharmed. Lord Theodor-Gartner, the ambassador of the kingdom of Verdogal, rescued us from the hands of the devil and sent us to find and deliver this settlement with the Spirit King and the Goddess of the Moon."

That spreads cheer. Vera nods and waits for the cheer to subside, then opens her mouth again.

"This feast is for Dominic, who is back. And it's for the benefactors who sent me here. Tell your benefactor how thankful you are from the heart of the clan, rejoicing in gaining new friends and acquaintances, celebrating the safety of your companions, drinking, eating and dancing in full!

To Vera's words, the harpies cheer again.

That's how the feast began. It is a meal while watching and listening to the songs, dances and performances of the harpies.

Harpies wearing flickering brightly colored cloths on their wings and ankles using the cliff space in front of the square fly like dancing.

The performance of the instrument seems to be the role of men and those who can use the art of humanization. Strings, wooden whistle tones, and drum sounds echo the lively tones - where Harpy's clear singing overlaps.

Oh. You make your own instruments, too? Because with hunting prey and trees, you could certainly make instruments too. From intestines to strings to leather to drums.

And most of all, it's singing. Is it because a species called Harpy is good at singing by birth, or is it a beauty that I get overheard even though it is not a curse? The sound range is wide and the skill is definite... their throats feel firmer in describing their voices as instruments rather than singing songs.

Sure, because you're a race that specializes in curses more than in curses. And Ramonas, the faces of the Interceptors are now dressed up and singing with pleasure.

Because it's a celebratory seat, or a lively and entertaining song follows. After several songs played and danced, the kids lined up to listen to the song.

This one plays with overlapping singing and singing...... should I say cappella? It's another stunning alternative to various instruments by layering their voices.

Most importantly, the harpies all seem to enjoy themselves when singing. So did the Seylanes...... if you look at it, you can see that Illumhilt, Justia and Dominic are also pretty nagging at each other smallly mumbling to match the song and shaking their bodies to match the rhythm.

"- Dominic is a beautiful daughter who sings even among us. I missed them all."

Between the songs, Vera taught me that much.

"Was I? We've been preparing ourselves to do what we normally do at the Boundary Theatre. What do you mean, give back?

"Ooh. That's great. No, actually, I've been wondering about the theater ever since I heard it."

"Sure. Dominic seemed to enjoy talking about the theater."

Ramona nods at Vera's words. Yeah. But first - let's entertain the harpies playing and singing as guests.

It seems Lily will be singing songs with some kids next. You think she's a good singer, too?
