Chapter 117 Ode to the Nightingale
It was almost half past seven o'clock in the evening, and the anxious Miss Chiyoko waiting at the entrance of the Grand Theater was considered to have seen Chiba Yuki and others coming late.
"Is there something delayed? Chiba Jun, I was almost late." Miss Chiyoko said worriedly. Even if she complained, she was so mysterious.
Akanisuke stood aside with his arms held back and stared at him with a very bad gaze. He didn't welcome this guy to join, but now he still asked them to wait for so long.
"I'm really sorry, I've been delaying some time..." Emiko said with embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's not too late." Chiyoko said, her eyes lingering on her and Chiba Yuki for a while, revealing meaningful eyes.
Then he looked at Shirley next to him, then his eyes lit up, he stepped forward and grabbed Shirley's hand, and smiled at Yuki Chiba, "Is these the other two friends you mentioned? They are so cute."
Shirley, who was suddenly held hands, looked at her and nodded expressionlessly, "Hello."
"Little girl, don't always have a stern face, just smile like this~" Chiyoko seemed to like Shirley very much, and she pointed to the corner of her raised mouth and smiled.
Then Shirley blinked, imitated Miss Chiyoko, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Her faint smile made the girl's exquisite face brighter in an instant.
...
After introducing each other for the first time at the door, the people who met immediately entered the venue. They were really the latest, and there were already many people sitting in the venue.
Miss Chiyoko was worried that walking to the front row would disturb others when she walked to the front row, so she pulled a few people to find a few seats connected to sit at the end.
The stage was still quite clear. After the host said a few words, most of the lights in the audience dimmed, and only a dim chandelier was left in the center of the stage.
The pianist who was accompaniment was ready on stage.
The protagonist of this performance is a young girl wearing a black dress, bowing to everyone on stage, putting her violin on her shoulders, lowering her eyes slightly, and gently raising her right hand, and a light and soft melody sounded.
The few people sitting in the last row were actually completely laymen, but they still could appreciate them. Even if they couldn't hear anything, they were listening quietly at this time.
Sayi was originally whispering to the two little sisters, but when she saw that everyone was not speaking and was listening to the violin playing, she stopped talking.
Chiba Yuki next to him pressed his elbow against the armrest of the seat, and was swimming with his head. His eyes moved slightly, and he crossed Emiko and saw Shirley sitting next to Chiyoko.
Her slightly blue pupils were now shining in the dim venue.
He focused on the girl playing the violin on the stage. The corners of her mouth, which had been slightly raised, faded inadvertently. The eyes that looked at the other person were a little lost.
During the intermission after several songs, Miss Chiyoko asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?"
"It sounds nice." Akanisuke thought about it and squeezed out two words.
"It sounds very nice." Chiba Yuki smiled and added two more words.
Emiko looked at them and felt that with her eloquence, she couldn't think of any better praise.
"She has a very skilled bow movement and a very good pitch. She is a powerful violin player." Sherry said a little bit of comments, and then said, "It's just...I feel like something is missing."
Emiko unexpectedly glanced at her, and she didn't expect that artificial intelligence would appreciate the violin, so versatile?
Miss Chiyoko looked at her unexpectedly, and then she became happier, "Shiri-chan is so awesome!"
Shirley was stunned for a moment, looked at her, then raised her lips slightly and nodded.
After a while of rest, the violin solo concert continued. This was the girl's graduation concert, and she would use her strength to show it to everyone present.
Standing in the middle of the stage, the beam of light hit her, shining like a black angel, the strings shone brightly under the dim light, and the melodious song floated out.
"This song is really nice." Chiyoko couldn't help but speak softly.
"Nightinging..." Shirley looked at the girl, her cherry lips slightly opened, "Song of the Nightingale."
Then he stood up from his seat.
There was still no expression on his face, but his movements were a little rapid.
It immediately shocked all the friends around her. They were sitting in the last row, so there was no situation of causing trouble for others.
"Sherry, the concert is not over yet," Chiba Yuki said.
Shirley turned her head to look at him, the data flowed in her pupils, and then sat down again, looking at the girl playing in the middle of the stage expressionlessly.
She didn't give any explanation. Emiko could understand that artificial intelligence would not take the initiative to explain, thinking that she would just ask later.
But Miss Chiyoko next to her didn't know that she was confused at this time, and her thinking had already spread: Is it because her guests did not play well that the girl next to whom she also knew about violin felt dissatisfied?
But now it seems that it is not convenient to ask.
...
The sky is dotted with stars at night, the neon lights in the city not far away are shining and brilliant, the streets are noisy, and the Grand Theater is far away from the center and is located next to a river.
There are only security patrols around the neighborhood, and there are no pedestrians, which is quieter.
The dark river water sparkled under the street lights, and there seemed to be a dark tide below.
A pair of bright yellow eyes quietly emerged from under the water, and a very strange light flashed in the darkness.
There seemed to be a light music lingering in the air.
The flowing river water rustled, and a black shadow climbed up quietly along the river bank, putting his hands on the railing, and his bright yellow eyes stared at the Grand Theater not far away.
The two security guards on duty had no feeling at all. They were chatting together, as if they had said something funny and had a very pleasant chat.
After the black shadow climbed up from the river, it fell into a water stain. It gently avoided the security guards' gaze and slipped to the side of the Grand Theater and hid behind the wall.
The melody echoing in my ears became clearer, and the dim lights of the Grand Theater were cast from the high windows, illuminating the green body on the side of the black shadow.
At this time, it was lying on the wall and secretly waving the music from inside, and its body gradually relaxed.
But as he listened, it became stiff and stiff, as if he felt something was wrong. He pulled the wall and stuck it tighter, as if he wanted to put it directly into the wall.
After listening carefully for a while, I found that the tone was indeed wrong!
The black shadow suddenly opened his teeth and claws in an anxious mood, and made a "hoho" sound like a beast in his mouth.
Soon, the music inside stopped, and then the deafening applause rang out.
The black shadow squatted in the corner of the wall with a dejected head, and the dim light projected from the window suddenly became brighter. Various voices sounded in the theater venue where the sound of music was originally quiet.
The lights illuminate the black shadows squatting in the corner of the wall more clearly. The green body, like a beast-like pattern and fish fins on its limbs... not humans.
It was squatting alone in the corner of the wall at this time, as if it had been abandoned.
"Why..."
"This is not the melody she plays at all."
