Behind the backs of Ash who seemed to be running away, the Pretty Cures looked at each other in shock.
"What did he say?"
"Who knows, no one knows what he was thinking."
No one knows what Ash will be thinking.
"I... probably."
Standing in front of the returning man, after much thought, Twilight finally came up with an answer to the entanglement in his heart.
"Indeed, it's not right..."
Twilight has such a hunch.
If he really left and disappeared like this, then... he might not get the answer anyway.
If it's at this cost, then... it should be okay for me to let go of Princess's reserve a little bit.
"Oh?"
"I said - I'm sorry!" Twilight, who was clenching her fists tightly in her hands, couldn't even figure out why she wanted to apologize to him, still said this with her shoulders shaking. "I was thinking too much about my own affairs, and I was neglecting you too much."
"You are not my servant, Ash you are... an equal existence to me."
After all, love is a matter of two people.
"So please teach me what love is."
Chapter 100 The different sounds played for the first time
"It seems you finally got the point."
Although Ash himself changed under their subtle influence, but seeing Twilight take such initiative, it still makes him feel gratified.
There was a soft snap, and Ash, whose confident and proud smile returned to his face before, grabbed her wrist and started running with her like last time.
"W-where did you go!?"
Although she was led hastily, a smile gradually appeared on the girl's face again.
She felt the happy feeling of "freedom" when she was held by the hand to "escape"!
"Where are you going?"
"Of course, I will take you to a good place!"
Wearing his own golden mask and holding his own pink violin, he stood on the stage and looked at the audience below. To be honest, Twilight looked a little confused.
"As Princess, what you are good at is the violin, right? Now I have a good idea! In this way, I will take you to a good place!"
After asking and confirming with Twilight, Ash took her to a mysterious place full of lights. After communicating very familiarly with the staff, Twilight was actually brought to the stage known as the "live house".
"This is the stage where musical dreams were hatched or died... But that's not what I've said so much. I just thought, since Twilight's performance is so beautiful!"
When Ash took the violin that she had taken out from nowhere, Twilight saw that there were so many audience members standing under the stage.
"Wait, I've never been in front of so many people-"
"I just thought, wouldn't it be a waste if Twilight has such a vocal talent that is comparable to that given by the Muse, but only a few individual listeners know about it?"
Ash blinked at her knowingly.
"How about bringing in more listeners so that they can also enjoy Princess's song?"
So under such wonderful conversations, Twilight, who didn't even know how he agreed, walked onto the stage. Everyone looked at this dark gothic "cosplay" with their own curiosity.
A solo performance is not unusual for such a performance, but when she appeared on stage with an instrument, the audience who did not know the truth had a lot of opinions.
"But it's a violin?"
"Are you going to play classical music in the live house? There are obviously no such arrangements today. It must be a mistake."
"Classical music? That's not what I want to hear..."
Listening to the comments from the audience below, Twilight tightened his grip on the bow.
For her, the violin is an instrument immersed in loneliness and loneliness, an instrument that requires a closed heart to play. It is this sense of loneliness that makes her like the violin even more.
After all, from the first moment Dysdark opened his eyes, except for Witch of Despair as a mother... Twilight has been living in loneliness.
She feels that such a violin is very similar to herself.
In fact, it was exactly as Ash said. Apart from herself, the only audience for her lonely piano sound was Haruno Haruka that day... Such a display was indeed the first time for her.
Originally, she was still struggling, but now it's a little different.
"Obviously, they are different from Ash, they are just a group of common people!"
Now, let you all bow down and be "moved" by the sound of my piano!
"?~——"
As the strings fluctuate, elegant and deep vocal music descends on an unimagined stage.
"..."
Even under such music, even the original environmental sounds underneath gradually became immersed.
Just, I don't know why.
Her playing always seemed a little awkward.
"Ash, what is that guy doing?"
Seeing how Ash really allowed Twilight to play, Nan immediately couldn't sit still. You must know that Yao Ke almost fell into evil ways after hearing the influence of such a sound!
If she has another ulterior motive here! What to do to the audience below... I can't think about it at all. When Nan picked up the key and was about to attack in Pretty Cure form, he was stopped first by Kirara on the side.
"Kirara?"
"Calm down Minami." As a model, Kirara, who also knows a little bit about vocal music, immediately noticed that Twilight was awkward and explained the problem to her companion. "Listen carefully. Although what she plays is very similar to what she once played, there are differences."
Seeing that she herself couldn't understand it, maybe Ash did something to Qin to avoid what Nan was worried about happening? Humph~ This king is really brave and careful?
Although Kirara thinks so, unfortunately, Ash himself does not mean this.
He did deliberately adjust the violin, but not to avoid something, but to elicit something!
For example, let Twilight let go of some of his insistence, just a little bit, and experience that kind of freedom? how?
"Well..."
Twilight originally intended to use her "playing" to seal their hearts as a lesson for daring to underestimate her, but when the first tone on the strings popped out, she felt something was wrong. It was impossible to play such a deep sound under the current situation!
But, do we have to give up here?
"~"
When the sound in her hand was about to collapse, she put down the bow and plucked the strings with her gentle fingers. Twilight, who could not go one way, immediately changed to another direction.
Even if the original method doesn't work... I can still play it in other ways! Don't underestimate the determination of Princess!
At this moment, the still elegant but more joyful sound was playing in her hand! At this moment, the violin music, which is truly like the melody of the goddess, echoes with her beautiful voice on this stage!
"!!!"
All the original doubts disappeared at this moment!
No matter what it was originally used to play, how could the listener, as a music lover, not feel joy when hearing such a beautiful sound?
The atmosphere is contagious, and with the enthusiastic support of the audience below, the ice that has always been fixed on Twilight's face has begun to melt on its own.
'Ash, did you see it! '
'Princess's performance... No! My playing! Being pursued with such love! '
While Ash and Pretty Cure in the audience were also smiling, true joy appeared on Princess's expression for the first time.
Chapter 101 Princess of Despair's awakening heart of love? (4K chapters))
The show turned out to be a huge success.
In fact, even Twilight herself never imagined that her behavior of urgently changing the key at a critical moment, forcing her own talents to control a style of music that she did not like (is good at)... In the end, the audience's enthusiastic reaction made her performance more and more perfect, and she realized a path that even she herself had never imagined.
"Ash!"
Although he roughly guessed that Ash had tampered with the problem on his violin, Twilight, who had experienced being praised by a stranger for the first time, didn't care about it anymore. Her face began to flush unconsciously, and she even temporarily forgot about the rules of Princess. At this moment, she was running towards the only friend she could share with with excitement on her face.
"Ash Did you see it? Everyone's reaction!"
She couldn't wait to share her happiness with him and this person.
However, as she trotted all the way to the backstage where Ash had brought her, her slightly trembling sharp ears sensitively caught another burst of sound.
This is actually the sound of a violin? After me, why?
"And... sounds good?"
As an expert in this field, Twilight naturally could not mishear. The patient girl slowly opened the curtain in front of her and saw Ash holding a dark violin in her hand, closing her eyes and immersed in the performance.
Unexpected... but it sounds really good.
Twilight sat silently opposite the man, leaning her entire upper body carefully on the table and listening to the "voice of the goddess" presented by him.
It feels like it's missing something, but it still sounds great.
Now Twilight seems to know why Ash brought him here.
'You said love is a matter of two people, so do you want to find a place where two people have common preferences? '
Twilight, whose heart was constantly rising and falling with the melody of the music, continued to say nothing, just maintaining this posture to listen to his voice quietly.
I never thought that humans could reach this level of art?
Even Twilight himself didn't realize that it was the "human" Ash who he regarded as a general object of fun and fun.
At this moment, her status in her mind is getting higher and higher... No.
To be precise, it should be that her heart, which has always maintained a subtle sense of loneliness, is getting closer and closer to Ash?
"Huh~"
After the performance of the song, the first thing the man saw when he opened his eyes was Twilight opposite him with an expectant look on his face.
"It is indeed a wonderful performance. I underestimated you before." The girl's dazzling silver hair was carefully lifted from her ears, revealing her cheeks that were crimson due to excitement in various senses. It was also the first time that she showed such a gentle expression on her face that was only arrogant and cold. "No wonder you brought me to a place like this. Why, did you feel so ticklish after hearing my performance?"
Slightly, Twilight felt like she could understand him.
Because both of them have a "lonely" place, right?
"Probably."
However, unlike Twilight's expected reaction, Ash still looked a little unsatisfied after finishing the song. "It's just that this piece of music is not from my performance. On the contrary, I am not as interested in the violin as you are."
"The performance just now was just a pure imitation. It only lacked the infusion of heart and love, and it missed a key point."
"If you don't like it, why bother playing it?"
Twilight cannot understand, just like despair will naturally come when all hope is lost. Why do you want to go against your own nature? Isn't this deliberately going in the opposite direction to your own heart?
Humans... are really interesting.
"I only vaguely remember that this beautiful performance seemed to have left some good memories with me when I was a listener."
In the past, when Black Night Kingdom was the king, I only thought about leading everyone forward. I haven't noticed yet. Perhaps, unexpectedly, I am a very nostalgic person.
But now he feels a little embarrassed to tell the truth in front of Twilight. Tsk, will she think I'm pretentious?
"Huh~?"
After staring at Ash, who was turbulent in his heart but his expression remained unchanged, for a while, Twilight suddenly took over the hand of Ash named "Black"
star" violin.
"It should feel like this, right?"
