Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
18 Bordering Uncle and wife
The research performed by renowned musicians echoes in the majestic auditorium.
A refreshing midnight song by an indoor band that gives a sense of clean air at night. A passionate tropical singer's love song in a unique melody of exoticism. A simple and cheerful national dance where people dressed as medieval peasants dance to accompany the keyboard harp and chitter of the kingdom tradition. A triumphant song sung by a magnificent gentleman with a good appearance. A children's song from the Boys and Girls Choir that is lovely and enjoyable to sing with a clear voice that is unclean. A magnificent symphony poem by the symphony orchestra that boasts Tris, the largest city in the northern part of the Kingdom.
"Amazing....."
All you have to do is be invited to the biggest festival concert in the country, all of which is brilliant and oppressive. It wasn't just about skill, but about the thoughts of the players, Theori forgot to appear and listened.
"... wow. You can't even make that deep voice to me yet. There's still a lot to do, Carina."
Felicia, who had no honest words of admiration, subconsciously called out her friend's name and remembered that she was supposed to always be next to her and was gone. Siori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks when she saw Helge stroke her back gently. Alec hugs himself quietly.
--Maybe in the near future, her neighbor will be where Helge is. Carina may never come back next to the empty other side. But one day Carina will pay for her sins, and she will surely greet her friends with a smile.
Betrayed and betrayed. Both of them have been in such a situation, but I'm sure that one day...
Siori, entrusting herself to beautiful music that left something out of hand, remained blurry and immersed in the finish after all the songs had finished with Felicia's appearance.
"Next."
"Ah...."
Looking down at Shiori, who returned to me, he smiled slightly happily.
"You've been listening so hard."
"Yeah, it was amazing."
It was true that I didn't even get an impression of what was really good. Just feel it with your heart.
― Let's go, everybody
In an instant Felicia switched from a lotus daughter to a generous singer and smiled brightly.
The singing princess of King's Landing and his band gather the expectations and curiosity of the participants who finished the performance, as well as some jealous gaze.
But I don't want anyone in the band to look scared. I don't have any anxious expressions I've been showing you till this morning, and I'm even smiling with dignity. I feel like I'm already in the real world by switching my feelings beautifully. Looking ahead, I can't believe I was in a whirlpool of events until last night.
(I'm sure it's really top-notch.)
Regards, Siori nodded to Felicia, who called out to her as she said so, and Siori took a deep breath and looked up at Alec. His powerful smile encouraged Siori to nod again.
As participants sitting in the guest seat waited for the band to begin performing, which is known as King's Landing One, the sound of the band matching the sound was heard.
Waiting for the stage sleeve, Theori glanced at the guest seat. During the rehearsal, I saw the participants sitting in the audience whispering something with a strange expression. I have no idea what you're talking about.
--Isn 't there a small number of instruments?
--The arrangement of the gold pipe is strange.
Seeing that it was roughly like that, Theori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks. Compared to the symphony orchestra we played just before ourselves, we can see that it is clearly inferior. If they were professionals, they would have seen at a glance the unnaturalness of the organization.
But I was called to make up for that shortfall. And the performance of Felicia and Helge was enough to make you feel the lack. It's okay. It's okay.
"Relax. You'll be fine."
"Yes, thank you, Alec."
Encouraged by Alec, who was discerning tension, he stroked his cheeks to relax his strong expression muscles and took a deep breath.
― ― The conductor silently signals and the sound matching stops.
In the quiet auditorium.
Felicia starts singing as she raises her baton and quietly swings her right arm down as she examines soft string instruments.
The first song is a kingdom children's song that has been singing instead of a lullaby since ancient times.
Perhaps for the children who will be the main audience for this song, instead of singing loudly and deeply, it sounds soft, gentle and sweet as if the mother were talking to the toddler.
Accompanying this, I developed the magic of pretense and phantom into the air.
--A phantom depicting the scenery of childhood memories in soft tones.
In spring, the grass trees sprout and the fields colored with young leaves rush around, chasing butterflies and spirits that glitter and dance. In the summer, under the loose blue sky where the peaks of the clouds are spreading, you can enjoy water play in the sunshine of the lake. Autumn runs along the azure evening streets with beautiful tree leaves and a cage full of tree nuts harvested in the wilderness. In the snowy fields stained with silver as far as the eye can see, it is a winter that plays with sledding and snowball matches.
A sigh of surprise and admiration spread to the guest seat. The waves like tidal noise eventually disappear so as to be swallowed by the echoing inquiry.
An audience that drinks hard spit and forgets to even blink.
A wooden tube and stringed instrument may look unnatural. However, the technical skills of the band in King's Landing are enough to compensate for these shortfalls. Many, but not enough, brass instruments were reconstructing each other's scores yesterday to cover each other's missing sounds. That skill doesn't make you feel deficient.
Adjusting to avoid getting in the way of a stunning singing and research, I diligently cast a phantom.
Draw a knight who fell in love with a witch according to the theme song of the stage where he performed a novel for young people, showing a man and woman who meet each other in a secret garden according to a love song singing a love song of a different identity. Perform several phantoms to match the song, including the magic healing medicine Alec will give you in between.
Then the final song, the majestic study of the goddess and mother of the earth, spins the final sound, dissolves in the fresh air in the auditorium, and slowly the illusion of the beautiful scenery of the Kingdom disappears.
- Silence.
After a few beats, a freshly cracked applause echoed through the auditorium.
"... that's amazing."
"That's just what the King's Capital says."
"It was like I was in a story."
"What kind of technology is that?"
The excited audience gives their thoughts individually, but sends a heartfelt applause to the singing princess of King's Landing and the band.
Whether you wanted to talk as a colleague or as some musicians tried to get closer to the stage, the applause stopped behind the guest seat and a faint groan spread.
"That's..."
Alec murmured behind him. I saw Connie walking up here with someone in front of him. A man with grey hair with a fine body and a gentle, good-looking woman. Its magnificent figure, its amateur figure, and Connie's attitude toward the two make it a high-ranking aristocrat.
I'm from Trisval Border.
What?
Lord Christopher Osbring reigns over this Trisval territory. He is a noble man of comparable influence to the Duke. Then the lady next door will be your wife. Tension and exhilaration engulfed the auditorium in the appearance of a major donor to the concert.
"I'm Uncle and Mrs. Trisval Border. I'd like to say hello."
Christopher laughed happily at Connie's words, telling him to take control of them with one hand and make them easier.
"Before the show, I sneaked up behind you. Excellent work. That's what they sound like, musicians. To be honest, I wasn't very bright in the arts, but there was something close to my heart."
The atmosphere of the venue is gorgeous with compliments from the famous Border Master, which are by no means flattering.
"From me too."
Her vivid emerald-colored eyes took over the words.
"It was a great performance that came to mind. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
The lady softened her face. Enthusiastic about charity, she is also the biggest donor to the Tris orphanage. The children of the orphanage in the Territory were invited to a concert at their own expense, but apart from the Bordering Uncle family, they are expected to donate from their personal assets. This concert is not just about entertaining tourists. Seeing that there was also a side to some sort of charity concert by the wealthy, Theori put herself in tension.
Because I realized that I had taken on a difficult request now.
(Many other nobles donated.....)
There was no trouble with rehearsals and the audience's ratings were excellent. But how about in real life? The concert should be attended by high priests, including the Archbishop, and high nobles, who are donors. All the participants are leading musicians who are familiar with the upscale scene, but they are ordinary and amateur.
It is my responsibility to be the director of the Great Tori of the concert, which is attended by many leading figures.
(... it could be heavier than expected)
Alec gently hugged Siori's shoulders as she subconsciously grabbed her arms and hugged herself. He smiled forcefully and stroked his back many times saying he was fine.
Slowly your shoulders relax.
"... thank you. It's nice to have Alec."
That said, he laughed with joy.
"Above all else."
I smiled back at that smile.
--and.
Looking back at her gaze, Siori took a breath as if Christopher and her gaze were in line. Is it because of my mind? I may not be looking at myself just because I happen to be looking at it, but if I am really looking at it, I think it would be rude to look away from me, and I will wait until I am about to lie down and look in front.
Eventually Christopher narrowed his eyes. He exchanged a word or two with Connie and then walked to Felicia with his wife.
"--You are the King's Capital One, the famous singing princess and the Elvistam Symphony Orchestra. I heard that there was trouble, but it was a stunning performance that entered the hall without feeling it."
"I am honored to receive your compliments. As I said, I was in trouble and some of my band members had to be absent. But we're also professionals. It is our duty to ensure that you are satisfied beyond joining."
Felicia's majestic attitude that she was a traveling entertainer and was not afraid of even her big noble opponent. Even though I was born and raised as a noble lady, I am no less impressed.
"... that's right. I have not named Da the King's Capital One."
That's going to be a big one - Alec nods his dialog too.
There may be more upscale jobs than ever before than working with Alec, who has been promoted to B and is undergoing S-level consultations. Like Felicia, I thought in one corner of my consciousness that I might need to acquire enough skill to deal with such people.
"Still, I'm surprised. The performance was wonderful, but the performance using magic magic - it made me feel like I had entered the world of singing. Are these performances popular in King's Landing?
Siori, who had spent his time looking at Felicia laughing with the Border Uncle and his wife, returned to me after being mentioned in the performance by his wife. While asking, her gaze was clearly pointing towards us. I realize that Shiori was performing magic magic.
"... Madame used to be a Cavalry Magus. You certainly realized that you were the source of magic."
"Ah... that's right. So I was surprised."
Convinced that Alec had slapped him in the ear, Siori looked up at him with a bitter smile. But seeing him somehow nervous, he blinked his eyes. I wonder if he would be nervous in front of the prestigious Rovnells, even if he had the same influence as the Duke. Certainly, the man in front of me felt the temper and majesty of a grand age that Annelier and Dennis did not have, and something hidden beneath a pleasant smile.
"Indeed, there is no theater in King's Landing that does such a rare performance. Initially, there were more vacancies... so the priest introduced me to the use of phantom magic as an auxiliary."
As Felicia gazed at Connie, he walked quietly, pointing to Theoli and Alec.
"Here are the two of you. Theori Izumi, master of magic phantom and adventurer. And then Alec Deer, who serves as your escort. You're both very good people."
(Wow.)
It is also interesting to be said to be famous masters, but I didn't think it would be introduced directly to the neighborhood uncles and wives, and Theori managed to interpret it while raising her inner scream. Alec also lowered his head slightly with his hands on his chest. It's an abbreviation, but it's for the superior.
"Don't be afraid. It's not a formal place. Please make yourself at home."
Christopher laughed softly, and the wife broke her face for the rest of her life and smiled familiarly. I thought maybe it matched my standards, and Siori became more and more afraid. However, I realized that it would be a waste of both cares, and I tried to be as natural as possible.
--But Madame took my hand and almost jumped up.
Theori-san is you. The Orphanage's priest, Yens, wants to talk to you. Was it a "live movie"? Instead of a picture book, you're going to show me some magic tricks, right?
"Ah... yes, that's right."
I was surprised that the lady I should have seen for the first time knew her name, but if I thought about it carefully, it was no wonder.
Adventurers in the Tris branch regularly condoled the Tris orphanage, but this was not exactly a service activity, but a request from Mrs. Border. The direct request comes from the orphanage, but the actual client is her. The request for the fee has also been sent to the wife. The report would, of course, have been sent to her.
"Thank you very much to all the adventurers. The kids are always looking forward to their condolences. I think it's good to wait for something to come out of everyday life. I've heard that Yves is the most popular movie of all time. I would love to see it if I had the chance, so I'm glad to see it unexpectedly."
She broke her face like a girl, saying that the scene in the stage romance novel for young people was particularly nice.
"... thank you. I'm sorry."
I hardly understand the manners of a noble opponent. But if she received the compliment honestly, the lady smiled happily again.
"... I'm mixed with immigrants. So I had a lot of trouble, and I'm really glad to see that exotic people like you are active."
With that said, she put a little force in both hands holding Siori's hand, and the lady smiled again and walked away gently.
Christopher, staring at the two, now turned to Alec.
"--Long time no see, Alec. It's been four years."
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Border. I would like to say hello and apologize for any wrongdoing."
"No, I don't mind. If you're strong, that's fine."
I was surprised to hear Alec's hard words for the first time, but Theori turned her eyes round knowing that they were more familiar. Connie and Felicia, who led the couple, were surprised.
The two of us speak each other.
Alec has a slightly nervous, awkward smile that looks like a smile, whereas Christopher has a gentle smile that looks happy, with some caring pain.
A sense of sight that I learned about the two of them.
(This... is the same eyes my brother sometimes has when he's looking at Alec)
Maybe he's also one of those people who's been watching Alec like Zach. Not only did I think of Zach, but Clement and Nadia looked at him with similar eyes.
It occurred to them that they knew Alec's identity, and Theori lay down her eyes gently.
--I really want to know more about him. Within a close companion, I don't even feel a little alienated about what I don't know.
Alec's past seems to be a bit complicated, but he still has something to hide. I haven't even talked to Zach and the others I've been watching. Just as you are, Alec must also be quite prepared and determined to reveal his identity and past.
--To get there, you should be able to stand by and support each other.
The big hand gently touched her shoulders and Shiori raised her face.
The meeting between the two seemed to be over.
"--I 'm looking forward to the show."
That said, Christopher smiled at the hawk, accompanied by his wife, and led by Connie.
A groan returns to the auditorium.
"... I'm surprised. You knew her."
"... well..."
He nods with a smile on his face.
"I don't have many, but sometimes I get nomination requests. And I was taken care of for a while when I was younger."
He said with a low voice that would not be heard anywhere else.
"Yes... what is it?"
He was cared for by Christopher, who was given so much authority and so much influence by the King - I don't know what that means, but if he and I had been friends since we were so young, would Alec's original status still be that of a nobleman?
"... you were wondering if you could match me right now."
Ugh
Pointing at the star, Theori moaned.
"Because that's... yeah, well, a little. But..."
You said you'd still be with me. That's why I'm fine.
When I told him that, he murmured and gently stroked his back.
- The last two days have been a glimpse of his life and that of the people involved. The closing concert was about to begin for both of us.
