From the higher level, I could see the state of the get-together very well.
Most of the main dish has been exhausted while it was being made and eaten, the potato chips are almost emptied out and mostly gone.
From the beginning the Elves and the Firefoxes came together, but now the talk is just scattered and all the excitement is over the food.
At first the Firefoxes were hesitant, seeing Kuu greeting all around, I certainly would have thought the same thing too.
We can’t afford this momentum to slow down, from now on what we’re doing is a performance that is intended to deepen our ties with each other.
「Everyone I would like your attention please, I am pleased to present to you our main performance today, starring two people.」
I raise Lucie and Kuu’s hand and announce it loudly.
「First, our Elven dancer, Lucie, her dance is without saying splendid, right.」
The Elves cheer and applause fill the air, everyone is charmed by Lucie’s dancing and their expectation is high.
「And then, we have the talented Kuu, one of the Firefox singers, the expert singer of the Firefox family, even among them she is one with a naturally beautiful singing voice.」
This time the Firefox girls raise a cheer. Kuu’s songs are just that special, right…
Firefoxes have beautiful singing voices that before, other villages would request and take it as a reward, some even traveled just to see it shown off.
Even among the Firefoxes, Kuu is said to be special. Since she was young she would be the one to sing during important events.
Having been the last thing I heard five years ago, I’m looking forward to seeing how much it’s grown.
Having introduced the beginning of the performance, I let go of their hands. This time though, both of them suddenly grabbed me, Kuu taking my right hand, and Lucie the left.
Alternately looking at the two, I saw faces that were painted with that expression of mischief.
「There is a correction to the number of people performing! It’s starring three people. The third is the Elf player, Cyril. Everyone knows him right, the hero, our chief, who beat the Empire with one arm behind his back.」
Lucie was proudly saying that herself.
「Cyril-sama is both a player and the conductor, he is also the Firefox family benefactor. Cyril-sama being here is also why we are here as well.」
This time both Kuu and Lucie were proudly boasting that.
From those two’s words, the inside of my heart was gradually getting hot.
My chest swelled, if I were to shrink back now it wouldn’t make me a man.
「Today’s stage, I will be playing the music, with Kuu singing and Lucie dancing. This will be Elucie’s first Elf and Firefox collaborative effort, everyone please enjoy yourselves. Okay, let’s do this!」
After gathering everyone’s attention, I take out an ocarina that is like the Elf traditional instrument, Opharu.[Opharu]
From the time I was young we had been together, like a long time buddy it was a treasure I got from my father.
The tune that is being played now is from five years ago, it was a song made to promote friendship between Elves and Firefoxes.
Even though it was decided to perform it once a year, because the Elf village was under the control of the empire, it was never announced even on the year the song was made.
It’s just kind of like the time when we were younger, this time though with Firefoxes coming to Elucie for the festival, it was like a sideshow today just like that time, I would play, Kuu would sing, and Lucie danced.
