Chapter 600 - Theatrical Music Show
Erina immediately changed the topic. She had a relaxing time gazing at the blooming cherry blossom trees while spending her time talking to Elysia a lot.
Some time pa.s.sed, and it was time for Erina to prepare herself for tonight"s show.
"Mhn, although I still want to have a relaxing time, I have an event for me to attend. Let"s go to the Osaka Grand Theatre." Erina got up from her seat.
"Sure, everyone must be looking forward to your performance." Elysia nodded in agreement. She gave a signal to Sylvia, then carried Vanessa.
On their way to the theater, Elysia felt somewhat confused yet curious about Erina. This girl wished to go on an adventure like a free soul, but a situation did not favor that.
"Perhaps, her family won"t allow that because she is a sole princess? Or something else? Uu, she hung me in the middle because she told me that but wouldn"t say anything else."
"I think it"s because of her heavy protection, Ely. She would never feel free when she realized that her every move would be monitored by more than twenty hidden experts. Or maybe, it"s because of her superpower. The top bra.s.s of other countries obviously doesn"t allow this country to produce gold and other precious metals through this girl. If violated, they might force this girl not to use her powers with severe penalties. Who knows, but it"s definitely not that simple, and we wouldn"t know because this girl just doesn"t want to talk." Elena relayed her speculations based solely on their limited information.
"It"s probably true. Hm, I have the intention of doing Erina-san a favor by helping her control her golden touch, but I don"t know what I can do about it." Elysia muttered while glancing at Erina"s gloved hands.
"For that, you only need to regulate her energy pathways and her power nerves, Master Elysia. If you are going to do that, I can teach you. However, there is a downside." Rhea proposed a solution.
"And what are the risks?" Elysia felt a little tense. She had just thought she could help Yuuki with this trick, but it seemed there was a price to pay for the instant method.
"What we are going to do is force the great powers to weaken. In other words, the power holder will have a decrease in strength. For example, this girl can turn an object the size of a volleyball into a lump of gold in one second, so after that, it will probably take five or more seconds for it." Rhea explained a little about the risk.
"That sounds fair to me. In fact, Earth humans should not have such great strength because their bodies cannot accommodate all of it. I will bring up this topic at a later time to Erina-san, and I look forward to your help, Rhea." Elysia felt quite satisfied and relieved that she got an answer to something that had been bothering her a few days ago.
"You look happy, Elysia-san. Did something good just happen?" Erina noticed Elysia"s sparkling expression and felt somewhat curious about it.
"Hm-mm? Is that so? I feel quite happy and relieved that I found a solution to a problem." Elysia smiled and hummed.
"I"m glad to hear that. You have a nice melodic voice, Elysia-san. Would you like to sing or play music with me?" Erina put the tip of her hand to her upper chest in invitation.
"Uhm, I can"t perform on stage with you, Erina-san. Also, I"m not good at any musical instrument other than... Oh no, I"ve forgotten how to play the flute or the violin." Elysia held her head. It was more than a decade since she last held any musical instruments. "Hum, I can"t play music other than leaf flute then."
"Fufu, there"s no need to worry. I hope you can sing a few songs written by me. Ah, we might as well do a duet? Hm, this is fascinating." Erina put her hands together. She could see she would have a lot of fun with someone with similar interests and talents, especially from someone she acknowledged.
However, she then remembered something important. "Uhm, have you and your friend booked a room to stay for tonight, Elysia-san?"
"A hotel room? It"s easy enough to book a hotel for the night. Can I know where you will be staying, Erina-san?" Elysia took out her smartphone as if she was ready to book a hotel online.
"Ah, no, no. I won"t be staying at any hotel tonight. We intend to head straight back to Kyoto when the event is over. Would you like to come with me to my house? Let me introduce you to my family, Elysia-san. That way, I can give you a list of mysterious treasure spots that you requested in the morning." Erina immediately waved her hand in front of her face in disapproval. She invited Elysia to go with her with a look full of hope.
Elysia did not dare to immediately give a yes because she felt that this invitation was not as simple as it seemed. She consulted with Elena and Rhea before she asked Sylvia for confirmation.
Surprisingly, no one had any objections. Because of that, Elysia turned to Erina again and nodded. "Sure, we"ll go stay over at your house if that doesn"t bother you."
"No, it doesn"t bother me at all. My family would be delighted to welcome you. Un, in that case, this has already been decided." Erina made a victory hand gesture.
Arriving at the theater, they went upstairs because Erina needed to get ready soon. Meanwhile, Elysia and Sylvia were just waiting in the lounge.
"Hey, Ely, what kind of music show are we going to watch? It"s my first time watching a show like this, and I"m feeling a little nervous." Sylvia glanced to the side to look at Vanessa. The cat roamed the entire room curiously about almost everything.
"Maybe some cla.s.sical music, theatrical music show, or the like? This is also my first time attending an event like this, Sylvi. Let"s look forward to the show. Erina-san is one of the main characters on stage, so I"m sure it will be lively and amazing." Elysia was also confused because she didn"t know much about this field.
"En." Sylvia was kept moving her legs in small movements while waiting.
Sometime later, a gorgeous girl clad in a golden shimmering brown kimono entered the room. She went closer to Elysia and Sylvia. "Thanks for waiting. What do you think of my current appearance?"
"Hmm." Sylvia gave a nod of approval. Even though she didn"t know what Erina was saying.
"You look perfect and charming, Erina-san. I"m worried that others will miss their spotlights because of your presence, hehe..." Elysia gave a light compliment without too many sweet words.
"Ah, is it like that? Hm, let"s go to the theater hall. The show will start in a few minutes, and I"m sure everyone is already waiting." Erina was invited, and they left immediately. After they arrived on the first floor, she pointed her palm towards an open entrance. "Mio will escort you to the audience seats that have been provided."
"All right, wish you luck. We are looking forward to your performance." Elysia waved her hand, and Sylvia followed suit. They then guided Mio into the theater hall.
Erina simply replied with a tender smile and entered the hall using another entrance.
"Please forgive me as this is an open event with all VIP rooms fully booked. We can only provide you with a seat in the first row in the regular audience." Mio conveyed her apology politely.
"We don"t have any problems. Sorry to trouble you, Mio-san." Elysia shook her head slightly.
"Okay then, allow me to excuse myself. I need to get back to milady"s side." Mio gave a slight bow of respect and walked away.
Sylvia looked at a large number of people already present for the show. Maybe more than a thousand or two thousand people? She then looked at Elysia and sat down in their seats.
The theater hall was illuminated by a slightly dim light because the lighting was focused on the stage. Even so, certain people could see that the two beautiful girls who had just arrived at the forefront were being escorted by someone unusual.
Unfortunately, two girls were quite far from the other seats. It was just like special emergency seats in the first row. Because of that, they couldn"t just get the two girls to chat. Therefore, they could only whisper among each other.
"Hey, do you know who those foreign beauties are? Why did they come here with that demon lord?"
"Demon lord? Do you mean that Maou, Minamoto Erina-sama"s servant? Anyway, I don"t know either, but they really make my heart happy and excited. It turns out that this world still hides many unknown stunning beauties."
"Would you like to try your luck on those top-tier beauties? Spring is here, but when will spring for you virgin boys come?"
"s.h.i.t, you broke my heart, my friend. All right, I"ll try my luck later. They might be Erina-sama"s friends, hum-hum. But, after the show is over..."
Several young masters not far from the said beauties exchanged words. They felt so attracted and curious about the two mysterious beauties.
At that moment, the hall"s lighting suddenly went out. Only the spotlights and various lighting on the stage were the only ones to draw all attention.. A couple of presenters came to the center of the stage to deliver their opening remarks before the show started.
