Chapter 244 – 244.Princess of Tunk Tree (2)
◈
“What do you mean, a performance?”
A sudden request for help with the performance came out of Arjen’s mouth.
In response to my question, Arjen immediately started explaining.
“As you may have felt, the current atmosphere in Tonk Machina cannot be said to be good.”
As Arjen said, the atmosphere in Tonk Machina was getting worse day by day.
Just yesterday, while eating food at a restaurant, some people were anxious about the increased number of golem-type monsters.
“That’s why I want to hold a performance for people who are anxious. So that they can take the feeling of anxiety out of their minds even just a little bit.”
“I understand how you feel, Arjen, but performing won’t take the worries out of people’s minds.”
Adelia gave her opinion to Arzen’s words her her her her.
“Of course, of course. So, after the performance, I would like you to come up on stage. You, the Fortis Group, have more track record than anyone else and have saved many countries.”
I understood what it meant to ask for help with the performance.
“So, after the performance is over, are you going to introduce us to people?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Arjen nodded immediately.
“Even if some people know, most people still don’t know that Fortis Group exists in this city. However, if I brighten up the atmosphere with my performance and say that trustworthy people will protect Tunkmachina, the atmosphere of Tunkmachina will definitely increase. It will be much better than it is now.”
“Great idea, Arjen!”
Atzval was the first to agree with Arzen’s words.
“Hey, Li Sihan! You sure won’t turn down this offer, right?”
“Of course I plan to accept it.”
Honestly, since they asked me to help with the performance, I thought they were asking me to at least play an instrument.
But that’s not it. As long as you just come forward and stand after the performance, there’s no problem.
On the contrary, if it was a request I had expected, there was nothing I could do.
That’s because I don’t know how to play an instrument.
I turned around and looked at the other members and asked.
“Is everyone going to be okay?”
Naturally, no one opposed it.
“Everyone! Thank you so much!”
After that.
Arjen, who explained the plan to King Albius, immediately received permission and began preparations for the performance, and due to quick preparations, the performance was held two days later.
An emergency performance by the band Electric Exciting, suddenly announced by Princess Arjen.
The atmosphere of Tunk Machina could not be said to be good, but since it was a performance by a princess who has been popular for a long time, many people gathered at the concert hall, perhaps to relieve some of their anxiety her her of. Br〉
“Thanks everyone for coming! Then let’s get started!”
The electric exciting performance has begun.
Just like the last time I heard it, the wonderful performance and Arjen’s singing echoed through the concert hall, and even people who were silent at first gradually became excited and the atmosphere began to brighten.
Arjen sang four songs in succession without stopping.
Among them, there were songs I had never heard before, so she felt like she had benefited.
And when the performance is over and the atmosphere becomes warm.
Arjen spoke while holding the magic device that served as a microphone.
“Thank you all again for coming.”
After thanking those who came, Arjen got to her point.
“I’m sure you all have known recently that there is a threat lurking in Tonk Machina. No, in Tonk Tree. The number of golem-type monsters is rapidly increasing.”
Arjen’s words changed the favorable atmosphere to tension.
“I understand you’re anxious, but it’s times like these that we all need to come together as one to overcome this threat! This crisis!”
People will understand what Arjen says.
However, the uneasy atmosphere that hovers over Tunkmachina cannot be easily shaken off, no matter how much the princess of the country speaks after performing.
“Of course it will not be an easy fight. But I can confidently say that we can overcome this crisis! Because!”
And to eliminate that atmosphere, Arjen requested our cooperation.
“There is a Fortis group in this Tonk Machina now!”
“Fortis Group… ?”
“It’s that group called the Fortis Group, right? The one that defeated the Chaos Church and subdued the Holy Water in another country… “
“A gathering of academy cadets with tremendous skills, which has recently become a hot topic.”
“The Fortis group called the new generation heroes?”
People begin to whisper at Arzen’s words.
“I guess I should get ready to leave soon.”
“I guess so.”
“Ugh, uhm. I’m nervous.”
“Well, I’m nervous too…”
For production, we are waiting behind the stage in advance.
As soon as Arjen gives the signal, we go up to the stage.
“In Raden, the holy beast of water, Praton! In Vitus, the holy beast of earth, Deltra! And in Luong, they overpowered the holy beast of fire, Karyuda, liberating the holy beasts from the demonic beasts of the Chaos Church and saving the country from one crisis after another! That Portis The group has visited the country to save us from this crisis! Please come out!”
“Now is the time. Let’s go out.”
We went up on stage at the right time.
As soon as we showed up, people started whispering even more.
“Really?”
“That’s Raden’s second princess.”
“Twin princesses of Luong!”
“That’s the Princess of Bitters.”
“It was real!”
“It’s the real Fortis group.”
“Is the man in the center the hero Lee Si-han?”
“Where have I seen that man…” ” “
“The winner of the Yugi Tournament! Heir to the Zenedic family!”
“Is it Genedic Atsubal, the so-called nobleman of the Blue Lightning?”
Artsbal seems to be famous among people who enjoy entertainment.
But what is the nobleman of Cheonglei?
Is it a nickname?
“Manager of Fortis Group! Isaiah! Please speak for everyone.”
Arjen handed the microphone to me.
I heard it because it was offered to me, but I was worried about what to say…
First of all, I said something that would make people feel at ease as soon as I could think of it.
“Hello everyone. My name is Sihan Lee, and I am a member of Lucedia Academy. I am the manager of Fortis Group.”
When I spoke, people stopped whispering.
Everyone is listening to me.
“We also know that you are anxious. We also know that your anxiety will not go away even if we tell you to relax. So this is all I can say to you.”
There is no need to give a long speech.
As long as we show the confidence we have, it will be fine.
Just as it is much better to show a play video than to show a lengthy document-like explanation to confirm character specifications.
“Please watch. When a crisis arises, I will show you through my actions that it will be okay. That we can overcome this crisis.”
To increase people’s concentration.
I took out the spear from my inventory and hit the floor with a thud.
“Saving the country from crisis several times! What is the power that overpowered Seongsu!”
As soon as I finished speaking.
“”Waaaaa!””
People shouted in unison.
I asked, gently looking back at Arjen.
“Was it helpful?”
“It was the best.”
After finishing what we had to say, we went straight off the stage.
It’s good that people’s morale has increased, but it becomes annoying in many ways when people flock to us and ask us questions.
Of course, after we left, Arjen grabbed people’s attention by playing the guitar and said, “Eaah!” To keep people’s attention from being too focused on us, and then he started playing.
“Whew, ho, I was nervous, wondering if I might have to come up in front and say something.”
Backstage, Pamela breathed her sigh of relief.
“It’s a shame~ If we had the chance, we could talk well~ Right, May?”
“That’s right, Mai! But Director Shihan’s words were trustworthy and wonderful!”
“Well, Lee Si-han has a solid track record, so his words carry weight.”
“Ohhohohoho! It’s also a deadline!”
“Captain! What are you doing now?”
The performance opened around 6 o’clock.
We haven’t even eaten yet.
“There is nothing for us to do if we stay here. So let’s go back to the inn and eat.”
“Yes!”
It’s good to boost morale, and you never know when a siege event will take place, so you should always keep your stomach full.
◈
The Fortis Group introduction performance planned by Arzen was held on the 3rd.
The effect was clearly showing.
The atmosphere on the streets, which had been filled with anxiety, became much better, and the number of people happily talking about the Fortis Group’s arrival in Tunkmakhina increased noticeably.
This was not just the case for ordinary residents, but also adventurers walking near the guild and academy cadets from Tunktree.
It’s good that people have been energized, but personally, there were some things that made me feel a little uncomfortable.
For example, when I go out to eat, I feel glances at me, or when one of the audience members who saw me during a performance approaches me and starts to say please take care of me, other people also come and say thank you and favors. It wasn’t happening.
Even when eating at a restaurant, a customer sitting at another table would come up and start talking to me.
I felt like I was a celebrity.
For your information, I am not the only one who has faced this situation.
Other Portis members had similar experiences, and in Pamela’s case, she felt uncomfortable with all the attention, so she immediately bought a robe with a hat and wore it.
After this for three days in a row, I was wondering if I should buy a robe like Pamela.
“Princess!”
A soldier suddenly entered the inn where we were staying.
Just by looking at that, I could guess what kind of situation was coming.
“Report!”
“Golem-type monsters are currently flocking toward Tonk Machina!”
Tunk Tree’s main story.
The siege event has finally begun.
