Travel · Guangzhou Arc (Twenty-One): Carnival March (Seven)
Wuthering Waves Zone, Septimont Free Exhibition Booth.
"Don't go! There might be other ways..."
"Only I can travel without being affected by the Exostrider..."
(Why is there a close-up ultimate skill animation???)
The Septimont Free Booth, as the name suggests, is a free booth where players can register and perform various acts, such as singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball.
At this moment, Little Ai is holding the microphone high on the booth, singing "Starward's Farewell" for the KGs present.
"Bon voyage!"
May your path become clear.
"May you get to where dreams are all crystalline and sweet."
The audience was a mix of laughter and tears; some walked out of the crowd, while others couldn't, but without a doubt, the KGs in the audience were passionately cheering for Aemeath's heartfelt performance.
"Waaah... waaah..." Suisui bit her handkerchief, tears streaming down her face.
"Sister~ Why are you crying~" Yangyang was waving her light stick when she caught a glimpse of her sister's tearful face out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but tease her with a smile.
"Uh, Suisui Sui was actually showing signs of tearing up at the beginning, and she completely broke down after Aemeath sang the chorus," Liang Yu added with a somewhat helpless smile.
"Aemeath's singing is as moving as her story, so it's normal for Suisui to react this way," the Rover chuckled.
As the last note faded, Aemeath struck a perfect finishing pose, sending the audience into a frenzy! Wow! Miss Wooly, we love you!!
"Aemeath! Aemeath!! Aemeath!!!"
(It has lost all human power—but it seems like it still retains some human qualities.)
"Little Ai, you sang so well!" Suisui walked over, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief. "I've decided, from now on you're my little sister!"
"Hey~ Haven't I always called you Sister Suisui?" Little Ai said with a bright smile.
"What about me?" Yangyang blinked pitifully, trying to awaken the last bit of sisterly affection her older sister had left.
"This is not needed." Suisui casually shooed Yangyang aside.
"Sister!" Yangyang was very angry, Yangyang decided to teach her sister a little lesson.
Then the two sisters started making a ruckus again, their laughter filling the air.
"Yangyang and Sister Suisui have such a good relationship~" Aemeath with her hands on her hips, watching the two sisters' intimate interaction with a smile.
"After all, they're childhood friends, it would be strange if their relationship wasn't good..." Liang Yu chimed in.
"By the way, are Yangyang and Sister Suisui planning to go up and perform?"
Yangyang and Suisui, who were playing around, immediately stopped what they were doing upon hearing Aemeath's invitation.
"Hmm... I can dance, that's true, but Yangyang..." Suisui tapped her chin with her folding fan, looking at Yangyang with a sly look.
"I can sing, but maybe not as well Aemeath..." Yangyang, a little insecure.
"It's okay, if you're really nervous, I can go up with you," Aemeath said with a smile. "By the way, what does Yangyang plan to sing if she goes on stage?"
"Hmm... I want to sing ' The Tale of the Azure Plume '." Yangyang nodded after a moment's thought. "Does Aemeath?"
"Tale of the Azure Plume Yao! I loved this song when I was playing through the new storyline!" Aemeath nodded vigorously. "After the storyline ended, I listened to it on repeat for two days straight, and I know it by heart."
"That's good. Speaking of which, Liang Yu can sing too. Should we have her sing along...?" Yangyang suggested.
"Huh?" Liang Yu blinked her big eyes twice. "Can I sing too?"
"It's alright, Liang Yu. If you didn't sing well, just consider it a joke," Suisui said, appearing beside her at some point.
"I've known this folk song since I was a child, so it's impossible for me to sing it badly..." (Liang Yu Neko shaking off water. jpg), "But this is the first time I'm performing it in front of so many people..."
"It's alright, there's a first time for everything," the Rover quickly stepped in to encourage. "Just like when you first picked up a sword and spear and stepped onto the battlefield, you certainly weren't as adept as you are now, were you?"
"What drove me to the battlefield was a sense of responsibility and duty, which is fundamentally different from this kind of thing," Liang Yu nodded. "But you're right, there has to be a first time for everything."
She stepped forward and joined Yangyang and Aemeath's discussion. "I'll do whatever you say, whatever you tell me to do."
"The three of us singing 'The Tale of the Azure Plume ' together..." Aemeath, "Let me think about how to arrange each person's part..."
As a virtual singer, Aemeath has her own pursuit of stage effects. Based on her experience and initial understanding of the two singers' voices and expressions, they quickly arranged their respective responsibilities.
"As for me... how about I be the backup dancer? And maybe add some special effects?" Suisui winked.
"I'll take a video of you from down here as a keepsake," the Rover waved his phone.
"Okay! It's decided then!" Aemeath nodded with a smile. "I'm going to register now!"
"I'm a little nervous..." Liang Yu looked at the audience below the stage who were eagerly waiting, her palms were sweating.
Liang Yu: I'd rather go and hunt a few more Tacet Discord.
"It's alright, Liang Yu. The important thing is emotion, not technique!" Aemeath reassured her with a smile. "When I first started singing, I didn't have any technique either; it was all about emotion."
"Yes, the best performance is to convey your feelings to every listener." Yangyang smiled and nodded encouragingly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the backup dancers. I guarantee they won't be able to take their eyes off me!" Suisui said with a bright smile.
"Ha..."
Even Liang Yu herself never imagined that one day she would be able to stand on the stage and convey the painful past of Dreamland people, filled with blood and tears, through her songs.
Perhaps this is a kind of luck.
Then, the prelude to Tale of the Azure Plume suddenly began.
Under the expectant and encouraging gazes of Yangyang, Suisui, Aemeath, and the Rover, Liang Yu began to sing.
Liang Yu: Aero Convoy fly~fly across the river~the waters are vast~the mountains are boundless~
Yangyang: Bright moonlight~ The moonlight shines on the long shadow~ Its fame spreads throughout the land~ I call out to you, let us not forget~
Aemeath & Yangyang: Aero Convoy ~flying with broken hearts~the sky is vast~the earth is boundless~
Aemeath & Yangyang & Liang Yu: Bright moonlight~ Gentle night~ Spreading throughout the land~ Calling out to Father and Mother, please don't look back~
Aemeath's delicate hands shone brightly, and electronic lights appeared, adding a concert-like atmosphere to the booth. Suisui's landscape painting recreated a corner of the Battle of Clouded Cliffs.
No, this power to recreate the past is more like a principal's Resonance Ability others.
The immersive audience couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "The special effects have become so realistic?!"
Aemeath looked into the distance, where Roccia was standing with her hands folded in front of her, smiling as she looked at them on the stage, while Crimson Snow beside her smiled and nodded to them.
After smiling and nodding in return, Aemeath began the chorus.
Aemeath: The tide surges, the mist shrouds the path.
Liang Yu: The road ahead is long and the return date is far away.
Yangyang: The barren mountains are desolate, and the river has no bridge.
Together: Homemade wine is hard to taste; hair dyed white as snow.
Together: Calling the bird~ Do not yearn~ Do not forget~ My soul wanders~ The long wind blows~ Until the cool autumn night carries me back to my hometown~
The audience below the stage was already in tears, waving their light sticks and cheering wildly for the three on stage, and even singing along with them. The atmosphere at the booth was incredibly lively, and players from other places flocked to join in the fun.
After the performance, the three bowed to the audience in unison to express their gratitude, which was met with a huge roar of cheers and applause that could have lifted the roof off.
"Hmm... it's really good." The Rover had recorded the whole thing, looked at the video with satisfaction and casually sent it to the group chat.
"I... my legs are a little weak..." Liang Yu's face was a little pale, "My heart is about to jump out of my chest..."
"Hahaha! Is it that scary?" Aemeath laughed heartily, seemingly unable to suppress her amusement at Liang Yu's current awkward situation.
"However, it doesn't feel too bad," Liang Yu nodded affirmatively.
"Singing can convey emotions; listeners can understand the myriad thoughts in our hearts through our songs," Yangyang said with a smile. "People here say that music knows no borders, and I think that's why."
"Speaking of which, I was just thinking of adding some special effects, but then some incredibly talented lady somehow managed to recreate a corner of that battle," Suisui said, resting her chin on her folding fan. "It was quite an unexpected surprise."
Knowing the truth Aemeath chose to remain silent with a smile.
"Speaking of which, it seems Xiao Ling has found that guy." The Rover immediately steered the conversation from the concert to the next topic.
"Hmm? Really? Let me see... Oh~ so that's what it looks like. It seems pretty ordinary?"
"Because he's just an ordinary person." The Rover emphasized again, "Little Ai, be careful, don't accidentally break his arm or leg."
"Okay, I'll be careful," Aemeath, waving her hand.
"Alright, let's get going! It's time to get down to business!"
