Devil's Music

Georgia's comprehensive hospital VIP room.

Grandma and granddaughter were sitting on the couch together, but the two of them were doing different things.

The grandmother who was just lying in the room had improved enough to be able to behave for a few days, so she sometimes had enough time to sit on the couch and look at her favorite book.

The hospital was surprised by her condition, and once every two days, but even though the cancer was not progressing in particular, it seemed like a curious study of her body that did not feel pain, all the tests were stopped, not tailed to Gregory's breathing.

The grandmother, who was handing over the bookshelf with a calm expression, smiled at her granddaughter.

Kiska was lying on the couch stretching out three sheets of paper to see if something was bothering her.

When the first two pieces of paper were written down, Kiska, who was an alcoholic, placed the last piece of paper in front of her, doodling and burying her head and rolling her feet in the cave.

“Why can't I just do this? Hehe! ”

In order not to disturb Kiska, she silently reads the book and smiles and closes the book.

“Can't what? ”

Kiska turns her head and sees the grandmother sitting near her feet. She changes her posture and lies on her thighs. Grandma touched Kiska's head with a warm hand to see if her granddaughter looking up at herself was cute.

“When you have a problem, and something isn't working out, do something completely different. At some point, an answer comes to mind. ”

Kiska puffs her cheeks as her eyes flutter.

“It's been over two months, and I've written two new lyrics from yesterday, but not one. I have no idea. Why is that? ”

My grandmother made a loving face and cleared Kiska's head.

“What song? Let's hear it for Grandma. ”

“You always listen, Grandma. The music I play when my grandmother sleeps, it's called Water Song, and when I listen to music, I think of lyrics, but I don't think of any of this, Grandma. ”

“Oh, that relaxing music. The sound of the piano and the sound of the guitar made you feel very comfortable. Did the young man just come here and make it? ”

Kiska corrects his posture and turns to his side.

“Yes, it's a song my brother wrote, and he asked me to write it. I'm going to be in your first album, and I think I'm going crazy. ”

“Haha, you said you already made the other two songs, but you only need one more, so feel free to eat. ”

Kiska ripped his head off.

“It's uncomfortable, Heeing. I thought I'd take my time and think about it slowly, but I haven't written a word in two months! ”

After thinking about it for a while, my grandmother suddenly asked.

“You said listening to music brings up lyrics, right? How do you think? ”

Kiska sits back down, looking up at the ceiling, and his hands twitching as if touching something.

“You know, when I listen to music or read a book, I see what the person who made it wants to carry. And in my head, I just remembered these letters. ”

“Haha, really? ”

When the grandmother smiled again at the cute look of Kiska, she looked down at the girl and opened her eyes with resentment.

“But all I can think about is the water song! I can clearly see the color of your music, but I can't think of any letters! ”

The grandmother smiled, touching the fat cheeks of Kiska.

“Well, isn't that a good thing? ”

Kiska blinked her big eyes and saw her.

“Huh? What's the good in that, Grandma? ”

The grandmother said with a wise look on the face of a person who had lived a long time.

“If you don't think of any lyrics that come to mind when you listen to any music, maybe it's because the song shines brightest when there's no lyrics. ”

Kiska blinks, the bear thinks and then Booth wakes up. Kiska, who was staring at her for a while, cried out to her grandmother with a big hug.

“Grandma! That's it, I think that's it! My grandmother's the best! Uh-heh-heh.”

Grandma patted Kiska on the back and smiled lovingly.

“Hoho, don't be hasty, but take your time to reflect on your condition. But this grandmother thinks that no one will think of the lyrics that Kiska can't think of. ”

Kiska, who felt her warm heart, smiled brightly and hugged her more tightly.

Kiska woke up and picked up her phone, feeling her body temperature for a moment.

“You have to tell your brother! ”

Unlike a few minutes ago, she was a grandmother who looked at her granddaughter with a cheerful smile. Kiska left the room and called the case, walking down the hallway to avoid disturbing her rest.

It was past 11 a.m. American time, so I was surprised to hear the voice of Kiska who called to avoid disturbing Kay's rest as if she was awake.

“Hmmm… Hello? ”

“Huh? Are you sick? ”

“Wait... Cough. ”

“Brother, brother! What's wrong? Are you sick? What is it, a cold? ”

You hear a slightly better sound after the sound of a gulp like drinking water.

“Awesome, cool. No, that's not it. ”

“So, what, it's 11: 00 in the morning and you're still asleep? ”

“No, the Fantasy branch was open in Manhattan. And there's my space. ”

“Yes, I told you before, I promised to take you with me later. ”

“Yes, but I was attacked yesterday by a spirit that I had not thought of. ”

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

“Haha, there is such a thing. I'll introduce you later. ”

“You're going to introduce me to a ghost? ”

“Heehee, that's what you're saying. You're a human, don't worry. I drank a lot. Don't worry about it. Where are you? ”

“I'm at my grandmother's hospital. ”

“Yes, how is she? ”

“The doctors said I should have been a demon already, but it was weird because I was so good, I took pictures of my grandmother's blood all the time, and I got caught by my dad, and I went right before the hospital bombing. ”

“Haha, good eye. So you're okay now? ”

“Yes, my father shoved a gun into the chief of the hospital, and all the doctors disappeared. I'm not bothering you anymore, just a dedicated nurse. ”

“Kiki, that must have been fun. ”

“Yes, yes! I've never seen a grown man pee before, Hee-hee. ”

When I realized that what I had accepted as a joke was real, I started to sweat.

“Oh, yeah? ”

“Yes! That was funny, Heehee. ”

“Ugh... Ugh. ”

“You know your water song. ”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. ”

“I was going crazy because the lyrics weren't written, but I learned something talking to my grandmother. ”

“Huh? Grandma? ”

Kiska gave an elaborate explanation of the conversation with her grandmother. He said that he was listening to Kiska.

“Hmm...... So the reason the lyrics don't come to mind is because the completion of the song is the highest when there is no lyrics, right? ”

Kiska explained diligently whether he wanted to avoid making excuses because he could not make the lyrics.

“Yes, it's true. You know, I write lyrics very quickly. But no matter how much I wait for the water song, I can't think of a single word. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Kiska, who was anxious about whether to think for a moment or not, froze his feet as his silence grew longer.

"Oh, my God, you're not disappointed, are you? ’

But it was only raining that worried Kiska. Knowing Kiska's abilities better than anyone else could not have misunderstood it.

“Yes, if that's what our Kiska is about, okay. Can you send me the Earth's songs and the lyrics of the wind? ”

Kiska's expression brightened as she was nervous enough to sweat on her hands holding the phone.

“Yes! I'll send it right away! ”

“Thank you, and... I'm sure you'll take your word for it if you don't put any lyrics to the water song, but maybe you should hum it." The company doesn't like to play. ”

“Yes, you can do that. You don't think I should write you lyrics, do you? ”

“Haha, no way. ”

“Heehee, okay! Then I'll send it right away! ”

“Yes, thank you, Kiska. ”

“No, brother. ”

Kiska, who hung up on me, looked down at the name of the case on the phone, grabbed the phone tightly and made a happy face. Kiska joyfully ran back to the VIP room, just as if it had helped the case.

* * *

Just after lunch.

After Red Kessle, I went to school and met Professor Sharon. Upon informing her of the existence of a Fantasy branch near the school, Sharon immediately went to the dean and came to the school every morning to make music in a slightly better environment and asked the professor to take a facial stamp and use Fantasy's workshop.

After discussing it, Sharon came back to the classroom and smiled.

“The story went well. Hoho.”

The case stood up and thanked me.

“I knew it! You're the best! ”

Sharon smiles on the couch.

“Now I'm just glad this is all I have left to help Kay. I'd like to help more as a professor, but I'm too old for that, Hoho. ”

He said so, but Sharon couldn't hide his smile because he was too proud to see the current case.

Sharon, who was talking about things with Gun and others, tilted his head and asked, hearing that he puts humming without lyrics to the water song.

“Well, is it? Songs without lyrics... ”

“Yeah, I'm going to humming like I used to with scissors, on a line that won't interfere with the music. ”

I wondered when I saw the smile fade away from Sharon's face.

“What's the matter, Professor? ”

Sharon takes his fingernails to his lips and bites. When I saw Sharon who seemed to have been thinking for a moment, I waited for her to say something, and Sharon, who seemed to have finished the idea, opened his mouth.

“I know what Kiska is capable of. ”

I opened my eyes wide to see if the case surprised me.

“Yes? How do you know? ”

“That child... can you read emotions? ”

“Huff… how did you……. ”

“I noticed when I was writing, it wasn't a normal child. And I think Kay has that ability, too. ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

“If it's hard to say, you don't have to say it. That's not what I'm trying to say. ”

Sharon takes a moment to breathe and looks him in the eye.

“I think Kiska said she didn't think of lyrics because I think someone's unspoken song is the most complete, and I don't think it's a good idea to hum it. ”

When I heard Sharon's opinions, I looked at her and thought: The surprising fact that Sharon knew Kiska and her abilities disappeared in the head due to concerns about the song.

And when I thought about it, I turned my back on the matter and warmed the pot as if Sharon were about to get up and boil tea. Sharon's expression intensifies as he tries to get over his shoulder.

‘Kay, as soon as humming enters, the direction of the song may change. A lot of people who have heard it may be destined to be changed by that scary song. Please think differently. ’

Sharon stared at the pot boiling in a quiet classroom with an unknown sound in his mind.
