Chapter 379: Songstress! Euterpe! The Great Emperor Feels Death!
Following the rhythm of the soothing music, Yuzuriha Inori closed her eyes slightly, found her rhythm, and gently parted her lips.
The song began.
[Saita no no hana yo / Oh, flower of the field,]
[Aa douka oshiete okure / Ah, please tell sohow,]
[Hito wa naze kizutsukeatte / Why is it that people hurt one another]
[Arasou no deshou / And fight?]
"Hmm?"
Her voice, like a celestial lody, was ethereal and soaring, yet it evoked a sense of sorrow and desolation. They all looked up. An unfamiliar song from an unfamiliar singer, yet it was captivatingly beautiful.
[Rin to saku hana yo / Oh, flower that blooms with dignity,]
[Soko kara nani ga mieru / What can you see from there?]
[Hito wa naze yurushiau koto / Why is it that people,]
[Dekinai no deshou / Are unable to forgive each other?]
The beautiful singing was like heavenly music. It pierced through the quiet air, captivating everyone. It was not rely an auditory pleasure but an unprecedented baptism of the soul. It made the people in the bar temporarily forget the worries and anxieties of the world, imrsing themselves in the beautiful lody.
Yet, so were also touched by the lyrics. Texas and the others were even more surprised. It turned out that the quiet Yuzuriha Inori sang so beautifully.
[A ga sugite natsu wa / After the rain, the sumr]
[Ao wo utsushita / Reflected the blue.]
[Hitotsu ni natte / Becoming one,]
[Chiisaku yureta / It quivered slightly]
[Watashi no mae de / Before ,]
[Nani mo iwazu ni / Without saying a word.]
[Karete yuku tomo ni / To your friend who is wilting away,]
[Omae wa nani wo omou / What are your thoughts?]
[Kotoba wo motanu sono ha de / With those leaves that carry no words,]
[Nanto ai wo tsutaeru / How do you convey your love?]
[Natsu no hi wa kagette / The sumr sun grew dim,]
[Kaze ga nabiita / And the wind began to sway.]
[Futatsu kasanatte / As two overlaps,]
[Ikita akashi wo / The proof of a life once lived,]
[Watashi wa utaou / I shall sing]
[Na mo naki mono no ta / For the sake of the naless.]
Gradually, the song ca to an end. Many people were still savoring it, pondering the lyrics, and reflecting on reality.
Why do people always hurt each other? Why do they always fight? This land was filled with such blood-soaked realities.
When they ca to their senses and looked back at the stage, Yuzuriha Inori was gone. Ren had taken her back to their seats.
"Yuzuriha Inori, your singing is so beautiful!" Exusiai’s eyes were already shining with adoration. She herself was an idol, skilled in both singing and dancing, yet she felt that Inori’s singing was far superior to her own.
"Gak gak gak gak!"
Croissant and the others were about to praise her singing but were interrupted by a series of incomprehensible screeches.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Exusiai and the others were either respectful or surprised. The creature that had arrived was a penguin wearing a hip-hop outfit, waddling crookedly. It was the boss of Penguin Logistics. His eyes were fixed intently on Yuzuriha Inori.
This little penguin... is very trendy, Inori thought.
"Buddy! You are just too cool! Gak gak gak!" the penguin let out another screech.
"..." Yuzuriha Inori was at a loss, only able to turn to Ren for help. Ren was also speechless at the boss’s bizarre behavior.
It was Texas who had the good sense to speak up. "Boss, please speak properly. It’s difficult for others."
"..."
The screeches stopped. Two short arms spread open. "Friends, I am the Great Emperor, the boss of Penguin Logistics."
Ren also gave a brief introduction. "Ren, Exusiai’s friend. And she is Yuzuriha Inori, my friend."
The Great Emperor’s gaze shifted to Ren. He could confirm that he was not a Beastmaster, but whether he was a giant beast himself, he did not know. He couldn’t be bothered to think about it; he was more interested in the song.
"May I ask what the na of that very cool song is?"
Yuzuriha Inori’s clear, cold voice replied, "Euterpe."
"Hoo hoo hoo! Never heard of it! It’s a new song! That’s amazing! Is this lady going to release an album? I will definitely buy it!"
"...No," Inori refused.
Imdiately, the Great Emperor seed to suffer so kind of blow and began to screech again. "Gak gak gak gak, such wonderful music cannot be preserved! Just let die!"
Unable to bear the screeches any longer, Ren said faintly, "So, you really want to die? How about I help you?"
"Hmm?" The Great Emperor stopped screeching and looked at Ren.
"!!!"
In an instant, an endless aura of death rushed towards him. His beady eyes saw a pair of ice-blue irises. Those were the origin of the death aura, the eyes that could truly make him die.
For the first ti, the Great Emperor, who treated death like entertainnt, fell silent. His heart was actually filled with fear.
Seeing the noisy penguin quiet down, Ren retracted his Demonic Eyes.
The Great Emperor trembled and shouted loudly, "All drinks tonight are on the house!"
Upon hearing this, the originally silent bar erupted in cheers. Amidst the cheers, the Great Emperor walked away, muttering curses. His words could vaguely be heard.
"My Lungn profanity, that was so f***ing exciting! I almost peed myself! Oh oh, death and fear, a burst of inspiration for a new song!"
"Uh, is the boss crazy?" The chaotic bar left Exusiai and the others dumbfounded.
Croissant picked up a bottle of wine. "Who cares! The drinks are free! I’m going to drink the boss into bankruptcy!!!"
"Hmph, just you? Watch teach you a lesson, you despicable bread person!" Exusiai felt the opportunity for revenge had arrived.
And so, a carnival erupted at the End of the World bar.
After the carnival, it was a ss.
Ren and his group were still fine. With him there, no one could affect them. However, they weren’t in great shape either. Except for Ren, everyone else was completely drunk. Croissant and Texas were unconscious and spouting nonsense.
Yuzuriha Inori hadn’t drunk much and was just a little tipsy. She said to Ren, "Ren, it seems ti is almost up."
"Are you going back?" The completely sober Ren naturally knew what she ant by ’ti’.
[Note: In this context, ’ti’ refers to the one-hour limit for world-traveling that her 1,000 doomsday points provided.]
"Yes. Perhaps Ayase and the others still need ." Gai and Funeral Parlor had parted ways, but Funeral Parlor was still fighting for independence.
"Since you’ve relaxed, then go back." Inori’s mood had visibly improved a lot.
"Thank you, Ren. I’ll return the points to you." She chose to leave.
A black hole appeared, and she walked towards it. Ren just watched her leave quietly.
