And a glorious applause for our performance. The last day of the Cultural Festival, and our audience, besides those who bought the tickets, are our closest family members, friends, and those from the Succubus District, as well as selected knights and guards. It's more of a way for Auntie Amleth to say thank you for all your hard work. That's not to say that our performance was lacking, far from it. We can clearly feel the enthusiasm of the audience today, so we gave 120% of our energy. It's definitely worth it.
After the audience leaves, we gather for an after-party.
"I'm impressed" [Nar]
"Me too" [Sas]
"It's a performance worth waiting for" [Dana].
"Well, I had seen it before and it still amazes me" [Khamisah]
"I'm glad I could perform in this place. Thank you so much" [Farhah]
"The honor is ours. And I get to sing an old elven song. It's an experience I will never forget" [Vita].
"It is difficult. What makes it so difficult..." [Rosaria]
"Really? I find it quite easy" [Diana].
"Me too" [Neloufa]
"A song is not just a beautiful melody strung together. It's more than that. It's like a spell. Your mind has to be in the right state. Your body must be ready. The Elven song that I taught Miss Vita is actually a command of a spell that can go very wrong if it is misused" [Farhah].
"Really!?" [Vita]
"It is, but you also need mana and magic power capable of activating it. In fact, that's the only thing you lack, otherwise you can use it as a spell" [Farhah].
"So the calming and soothing effect is part of the spell?" [Sas]
"That's right. That, and the combination with the singer herself being able to do that" [Farhah]
"In the case of Miss Vita, I suppose she has the talent to do it" [Farhana]
"Impressive. I'm sure you've already surpassed me if that's the case" [Eisheth]
"I'm glad to hear that" [Vita]
The succubus chatting with the knight, the guards and the adventure. Neloufa's parents with the Vars family sitting around a table eating delicious food. It's just our way of celebrating a successful week.
"You're leaving with Princess Siti after this, right?" [Neloufa]
"I am. Princess Siti needs my help along with Teacher Tiara and Master Merlin" [Diana].
"Sigh... I guess this could be the last day I am with you..." [Farhah]
"Don't worry! I'll be sure to visit you before I leave! I'll also come and visit the Elven Kingdom! I promise" [Diana].
"What a cute granddaughter you are" [Farhah]
"Although I don't think Father would really appreciate it. How about you, Elegast?" [Farhana]
"I'd rather not..." [Elegast]
"Boo! Chicken!" [Diana]
"Well... You're right" [Elegast]
"And here I think you will retort" [Nar]
"Family matters are a pain. Why can't you just go home and be with me for a while" [Farhana]
"Well..." [Elegast]
I know that Elegast wouldn't be welcome back home. He used to be on the council, but he changed his ways after he realized that the elves had to mix more and more with other races to survive. The war with the Empire made him realize this. He left his home to learn more about the world and that's when he decided to become an adventurer and was recruited by Guild Master Akela and Aunt Amleth. His relationship, especially with his father and younger brother, also took a turn for the worse as they fought and fought.
"Young Lady Diana, Master Nar, are you free for our picnic tomorrow?
"Of course, Neloufa and others are welcome!"
"Even the World Tree Priestess!"
"Sure! I would love to! I'll bring some sweets from the house" [Diana].
"I might be late... I have a meeting that I can't skip" [Nar].
"That's sad... We want Master Nar"
"So I didn't hear it wrong... Why did she call you Master..." [Dana]
"Scandalous" [Sas]
"Scandalous indeed" [Diana]
The succubus wanted to tell the reason, but Sister Khamisah just coughs and tells her not to do it, because Neloufa, Grandma and I are here. She, like one who realizes a mistake that has been made, made a tactical retreat, not before I could catch her. She refused to answer, and so
"Why, oh why. I want to know" [Diana].
"Look at the time. I guess it's time for bed" [Nar].
"You allow me to sleep a little late today" [Diana].
"Am I? I don't remember" [Nar]
"I recorded it in Sas's emblem. Do you want to hear it?" [Diana]
"When did you do that?" [Sas]
The after party continues. Song was sung. Food after food is replenished. One by one the others start to pack up and go home. The Vars family is the last to return to their home, after we help clean up the opera house. Of course, the worker refuses our help. A knight's family, no, a noble family like us, would make them look bad.
"It's okay. This is our way of saying thank you" [Nar].
"You have helped us a lot." [Sas]
"It's also common sense. This isn't an official part. Just a gathering of close friends" [Khamisah].
"It would be rude not to" [Dana]
"They're right! Besides, you guys are undoubtedly the best!" [Diana]
