Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

However, before Tennoji Miri could think any further, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be being watched by something.

"Kyosuke, is that her?"

“That’s right, this is Lord Horie.”

"Hello……"

Tennoji Miri greeted the elegant woman who suddenly appeared, adorned with strange little wings on her head.

The woman was Kinara. She looked at Tennoji Miri and realized that she didn't seem to be as melancholy, depressed, or world-weary as she had imagined, and her expression became somewhat surprised.

"Lord Horie... I'm Kinnara, you can just call me that. Now, listen carefully to everyone's energetic performance, and then cheer up and keep your spirits up!"

"Okay, thank you for your encouragement."

Tennoji Miri was somewhat confused and full of questions, but she still replied politely.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt a headache coming on as he watched this scene.

Who can save us?

Kousaka Kyosuke ignored Kagura, who was already talking to Hinako Konohana, and focused his gaze on a group of women in the distance who were like background figures watching the show—Yukino, Nino, Miku, Mafuyu, Suzune, Kikyo, Honami… Which one should come to their rescue?

"Never mind, how about we listen to some music first?"

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself that he was just waving to his companions from afar and had no intention of introducing them to Tennoji Miri, Konohana Hinako, and the others.

If everyone introduces their wives, what's the point of listening to the performance?

I came here specifically to listen to the performance.

It's not too late to introduce each other when we get to know each other later.

the other side.

Yui Yuigahama looked uneasy when she saw Kyosuke Kousaka waving.

"...Does Lord Kyosuke mean for us to pass through?"

Yukino said calmly, "No, he meant for us to do as we please and not to worry about them."

"Yukino, how did you understand it?" Kikyo Kushida looked at Yukino with admiration.

With just one move, she immediately understood what was going on. Is this the power of being the first maid?

Yukino shook her head: "Kyosuke-sama always says the same few lines over and over again."

"He hopes that everyone can be as willful as the nine-lives cat."

Miku thought for a moment and then gave an analogy.

Just like Yukino, Miku understood what Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to say as soon as she saw him wave.

Many people are like that, but they don't say it out loud or attract attention.

“If you reach the level of a nine-lives cat, you’re already disqualified as a mate,” Mafuyu said seriously.

Miku nodded thoughtfully, but her mind involuntarily drifted to images of Mafuyu being fed and cared for in various ways... Sorry, she didn't quite understand.

Honami Ichinose was not surprised by Kyosuke Kousaka's behavior; her attention was more focused on the other band members who were preparing to perform on stage.

"Deng, Xiangzi...and Su Shi, Xiao Mu, and the others..."

“They can only rely on themselves to do this,” Kikyo Kushida said softly.

Takamatsu Akari and Toyokawa Shoko did not team up with Ritsu, Mio, Yui, Azusa, and others who were originally with them, but instead found other members in the manor.

Kinara seemed rather unhappy, believing that those chosen were not very talented, so he simply had Kousaka Kyosuke act as the referee today. Unexpectedly, Kousaka Kyosuke invited guests over as well.

This will inevitably make some people who are already nervous even more nervous, right?

And how many people are preparing to perform in the first show?

Takamatsu Akari, Toyokawa Shoko, and the three people they invited—Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Motoyo, and Wakaba Mutsu—were all still quietly waiting for their performance.

"Everyone...we must keep going! This time, we're going to be a band for life!"

At first, Gao Songdeng hesitated when speaking, but then his gaze became firm, and his hesitant tone was no longer indecisive.

With a small mole at the corner of her eye and a very stern expression, Shiina Tatsuki nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Akari, we will succeed!"

With an expression that remained completely unchanged, Wakaba Mutsu said calmly, "As long as you perform consistently, there won't be any problems."

Nagasaki Motoyo, with her dignified bearing and noble demeanor, smiled gently.

"Yes, there won't be any problems, so everyone should keep a normal mindset."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko silently watched her companions speak one by one, outwardly calm, but inwardly more uneasy than ever.

In the end, she couldn't resist Gao Songdeng's pleas and invited several of her former companions over.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

However, this world is clearly much crueler than modern times. If she had simply let her former companions go unpunished, it would have been tantamount to murder.

Even if working hard on this estate won't endanger your life, isn't it a form of slow suicide for modern people who have experienced a life of luxury to face various harsh conditions and a numb existence?

Shoko Toyokawa felt that since she had the opportunity to help her former companions live better lives, she had no reason not to do it.

"To form a band with everyone for the rest of my life, together with the lights, is probably the best choice for me right now."

I just hope everyone can perform to their usual standard this time. Otherwise, no matter how stern the teacher Kinara or how easygoing the gentle adult Kousaka Kyosuke are, they'll still feel incredibly ashamed...

402. The full utilization of Takamatsu lamps / meetings / picking up people

"Alright, everyone, let's begin!"

After finishing her conversation with Kyosuke Kosaka, Miri Tennoji, and others, Kinara waved her hand in acknowledgment.

Takamatsu Akari, Toyokawa Shoko, and the others, who were in the middle of the spacious courtyard, quickly agreed and began to work together to improve their teamwork.

It's impossible to find the right rhythm for a performance right away, so a simple warm-up is always necessary.

Otherwise, making a mistake at the very beginning would be even worse.

"A very special band..."

Seeing that the band hadn't started performing yet, Tennoji Miri said softly.

At this moment.

She sat with her maid Chika and companion Hinako Konohana in a ceremonial hall where they could clearly see the performance.

Across from her in the ferry hall, there was a group of women of similar age. In a pavilion not far away, there was another group of women holding musical instruments, but they were of different ages. The older ones looked like seniors who had achieved considerable success in music.

"They all use modern instruments like guitars and basses, and I wonder who is the person who can make these instruments with their own skills."

Tennoji Miri was not surprised by the emergence of modern musical instruments.

Long ago, she knew that these things were sold in Kyoto Port, and she guessed that the maker was someone similar to her.

However, even if you knew all this, it wouldn't be of much use.

bang~

As a light drumbeat sounded, the sounds of guitar and bass followed, and a clear, flowing voice also emerged, with soft and rhythmic notes lingering in the air.

"It's starting, the succubus's power is about to be activated."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

As soon as he heard the intro to Takamatsu's song, he realized that the female lead of "MyGo" was going to perform exceptionally well.

With her outstanding voice, Takasatsu Tomokazu is incredibly powerful once she unleashes her full potential.

Why? Simply because Takamatsu Akari's songs are entirely her own feelings; this young woman is simply expressing her feelings completely through music.

But it is precisely because of this that it is so impeccably powerful.

Replace sincerity with sincerity.

There is no better communication in life than this.

{I'm all alone in the world}

{Springtime that only knows the falling blossoms~ remains indifferent to me every year...}

"So, so strong."

Hiroi Kikuri, who was just getting into the mood for her next performance, widened her eyes, her usual laziness and nonchalance vanishing completely in an instant.

As the lead singer of the band, she is naturally very familiar with singing.

At the very least, they understand a singer's abilities better than anyone else!

"Even though they're still a bit green and sing with a bit of effort, it seems that it's precisely this 'effort' that brings the melody to life! How amazing! It's almost the same essence as the music played by Kyosuke-sama and Kinnara-sama!"

heart.

This is a technique that Hiroi Kikuri has learned from Kinara these past few days.
