Chapter 104 – Nightjars Don’t Sing (2)
After the acrid smoke began to fill the city, the spirits began to leave the city one by one.
The reason why you can’t see the elemental lord in the dungeon command is also the same. Regardless of the spirit case, all the spirits have disappeared, so how can you call yourself a spirit lord?
Thus, Orion, who came from the Great Forest, where the spirits and nature live and breathe, often dreamed of his hometown where spirits danced under the trees.
‘…… That.’
And in the backyard, she could see the same scene I saw in my dream. The scene where countless spirits gather and dance.
“ABCDEFG… Oh who… ?”
Kahi, who was singing, felt the eyes on her and looked in the direction of Orion.
As she stopped her song, her spirits left her at the same time. Watching the spirits leave, Orion stepped forward.
“What… This is Orion. Long time no see.”
“Long time no see… It is.”
“What is going on here? Did Do-jin come to see you again?”
“…… You sing well.”
“Yes? Song?”
Kahi, who heard her Orion’s words from her, glared at her as if asking what she was saying.
“Don’t you know I’m a muse?”
“Muse…… ?”
“Idol! How many people come to see one of my concerts… I did not know?”
“Yeah, I’m not interested in that….”
As if feeling sorry for Orion, she bowed her head to Kahi. Ga-hee, who had no intention of even accepting an apology for something like this, turned her head shyly.
“So, what happened?”
“Song… Can I hear more?”
“Oh? I’m a singer, so I don’t sing for free.”
“How much will it be?”
“…… It’s a joke, a joke.”
She sighed, untied her throat and asked Orion.
“Is there a song you want?”
“What song do you want?”
“Yes, requested song.”
Hearing her words of her, Orion felt that she wanted to hear the song she had heard earlier. She had to at least recreate the same situation as before to know if the departed spirits had really come to hear her singing her.
“Then what you called earlier.”
“Oh, that song? It’s good. Then where—”
LaLaLa-.
Kahi started singing lightly. She was an Orion who had met several bards who said she could sing well, but no one sang her songs as well as she did.
The voice itself is the harmony of the heavens, and how beautiful the melodies are. Orion wondered if she would feel like this if she heard the angels blowing their trumpets.
And-.
—Kyaauk.
─Kyahahaha.
Spirits gather.
The spirits who heard Kahi’s song gathered one by one, and in an instant, they became so crowded that Kahi’s face could not be seen.
Orion slowly approached them. She was annoyed, as if not to disturb the appreciation of the song, but she did not reject the elf, the nymph of the forest.
Hwaaaaak-!
Orion felt like she was back in her hometown for the first time in a long time. The nostalgia she felt there was at a level that was difficult to explain in words…… Orion shed tears involuntarily.
Kahi, who heard my song shed tears, was startedled and stopped singing, and when the song stopped, the spirits disappeared.
“Oh, why, why are you crying?”
“…… No, just.”
“Was my song so fantastic? No, not to that extent…….”
No way could she have thought that her singing her had this kind of power. After realizing her singing skills that she hadn’t even known about, Kahi started thinking about something with a serious expression.
While she was in so much trouble, Orion couldn’t escape and looked at the spirit caught in her hand.
─Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The spirit also seemed to feel the energy of the elves, and they were laughing and liking it. She gently scratched the spirit’s belly and held out the spirit to Kahi.
“Do you see this?”
“Yes? The palm of your hand? What do you have?”
“Even though you can’t see it…….”
I couldn’t believe it. Even if it is only her voice her that summons the spirits, to be able to attract such spirits even though she has no affinity for herself…..
‘Enough of this…….’
Looking at Kahi, Orion realized how to become stronger as a disciple. It was impossible for her to become stronger through hard work or talent.
She had to find a way outside. And the method she found was Kahi.
“Ms. Gahee.”
“Yes, why…… ?”
“Would you like to enter the dungeon with me?”
“…… I beg your pardon?”
Since ancient times, idols have been the brightest when standing on the battlefield.
* * *
“…… What?”
“He said he wanted to enter the dungeon with Kahi. Leader.”
“Hey, what do you mean by that?”
Do-jin, who saw Orion who came to visit him with Ga-hee, tilted her head and asked Ka-hee. Kahi tilted her head as if she didn’t know.
Anyway, the bitch was not helpful, Do-jin took his eyes off Ka-hee and asked Orion again.
“What are you talking about? He doesn’t even know how to fight.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I’m not going to fight.”
“…… If you’re not going to fight, why are you taking me to a dungeon?”
“I will make you sing.”
It was truly crazy. It’s not like a battlefield idol, it’s a song to take Ga-hee to a dungeon and make her do it?
“…… I’d like to say no, but before that, I’d like to hear the reason first. Why?”
“It’s thanks to Miss Kahi’s ability.”
“—Ability?”
At those words, Do-jin wondered if Ka-hee’s ability her, [Ka-hee], Had been discovered. Her ability her to charm everyone regardless of age or gender.
If used in her dungeon her, all of her monsters her would target her her first.
“What ability?”
Do-jin looked at Ga-hee with an expression asking if she was caught. Kahi, standing behind Orion, quickly shook her head and denied it, but honestly, her words her were not credible.
Orion tried to convince Dojin of her, and she preached about her abilities that she had identified.
“When she sings….”
“What if I sing?”
“The spirit appears.”
“… What?”
Do-jin, who thought that he was really caught after hearing that his ability was used when singing, rolled his eyes and looked at Orion.
It doesn’t sound like you’re joking, but a spirit in the first place? Was there such a thing in this world?
‘Could it be that?’
Do-jin recalled the white balls of light floating around her when Ga-hee was singing a while ago.
She thought she was just mistaken because she hadn’t seen her since. If it was a spirit, she wouldn’t be able to see it easily.
However, taking Kahi to the dungeon with just that was absurd. A dungeon is a dangerous place, and there is no guarantee that the spirit will follow you into the dungeon.
“… What can I do with a spirit?”
“Um, once. I can shoot a stronger ability.”
“You?”
“Yes. I’m an elf after all. Dealing with spirits is a basic skill.”
“Hmm…….”
Upon hearing that, Do-jin let out her drool. Hey, lately, she’s been feeling Orion’s lack of ability.
When we first met, he wasn’t a bad scout, but even then his combat power his was low.
Now that they were hunting on the 30th floor, it was a nuisance that was neither helpful as a scout nor helpful in battle.
It’s just that her dojin her is n’t banishing her.
“How strong are you?”
“Well, you have to try, but…… At least the monsters on the current level won’t be able to block my arrows, right?”
“If that’s true, do it.”
“Do, Dojin? You want me to go into the dungeon?”
Kahi, who heard Dojin’s words, was frightened and asked Dojin back. However, Do-jin judged her calmly and ordered her.
“Sometimes you say I’m the boss and I do everything you ask me to do?”
“Then then! Now I’m a superstar! As long as you say…….”
“Yes, Mr. Superstar. I feel like I’m going to break my back trying to finance that great song. If you don’t help, the next concert won’t be held until you earn it yourself?”
“…… No, that’s okay.”
“Is it not?”
To be honest, unlike Earth, which attracts fans from all over the world, it was quite difficult to make money in a different world where everyone came to watch from one city.
It was impossible for Dojin and his party to know how to run professional entertainment, and all they did was rent or build an expensive venue and perform, and that was it.
While making and selling goods or selling food was impossible, it was quite difficult to see a surplus solely with the price of concert tickets.
“Then prepare now.”
“Yeah, right now?”
“I will go with you. Give me 10 minutes.”
“Ugh…… I’ll have to do my makeup again….”
Saying that, Kahi quickly went back to her room. Idols have to be beautiful anytime, anywhere, so they said they would come back wearing combat makeup.
While she left her room, Orion, who had been alone with Dojin, bowed his head to him.
“…… Thank you, Leader.”
“If you appreciate it, prove it this time. That you can become stronger.”
“Let’s do our best.”
The two immediately went out in front of the mansion and waited for Ga-hee. After 20 minutes, Ga-hee showed up late, wearing an odd dress.
“You waited!?”
“…… Change and come.”
“Why!?”
“Do you know what kind of concert we are going to? Change into clothes that are comfortable to move in before you put on your gym clothes.”
“I’m an idol…….”
Hee-in, Ga-hee, who went back to her room with a strange moan, didn’t show up until 10 minutes later.
Fortunately, this time it was a normal active suit.
* * *
─Keeeee
On the first floor of the underground dungeon, a goblin appeared from afar. It was a monster I hadn’t seen in a very long time. The first floor was always full of people, so I rarely saw goblins.
“Wow… Dojin, why is there no one there?”
“That’s because we made it a private space only for us.”
“Can you do that? Then why did the black curtains disappear?”
“Because I got rid of that too.”
“Awesome. You.”
Saying that, Kahi raised her thumb toward Dojin. Seeing her like that, Do-jin dismissed her as singing her song her.
“Hmmmm, then I’ll call you! 『Allwasy』!”
Ga-hee posed like an idol in a space without any response, and immediately started singing unaccompanied.
As Dojin listened to the song, she waited for that spirit to gather. However, no matter how long she waited, the spirit didn’t come, and only the goblins who heard the sound were attracted.
“Keeeeek!”
Pooh-!
Do-jin waited for Ka-hee to finish singing while slaughtering the goblins, whose ranks were so different that they were no longer worth describing.
Three minutes passed, and Do-jin looked at Orion after seeing that the spirit did not appear even though she had finished one song.
She said it couldn’t be like this and chewed her fingers with her blank expression.
“…… Orion?”
“No, so. That is…… It obviously appeared…….”
“Isn’t it because this is a dungeon?”
“Oh, maybe! No, definitely will!”
“…… What are you two talking about?”
Kahi, unable to feel or see the spirit, asked the two of them, feeling left out.
Do-jin shook her head as if it was nothing and took her outside her.
Do-jin, who moved up the deserted hill road, looked around and confirmed that there was no one there before she opened her mouth.
“Call me again from here.”
“…… People will come.”
“Call me briefly.”
“Well, if so.”
Kahi sang again. It was a different song than before. However, this time the spirits rushed in.
Watching her small, sparkling spirits flock to her side of her, Do-jin thought the scene was like a scene from a fairy tale.
“Stop.”
Duk- As soon as the song stopped, all the spirits left. They glared at her Do-jin and disappeared, she thought, so that Do-jin would not be able to use Ga-hee in battle.
“This won’t work.”
“…… Yes. I must give up.”
Orion also muttered a pity as he watched the spirit leave. It would be impossible for her to use her spirits unless she made a tool to trap them.
And there was no way that was possible.

“Yes? Will it work?”
