And the day of the concert ca in a flash.
The location is the central grand plaza of the royal city.
Yes, its a big square in the center of the city, facing the royal palace, the temple, and so on.
Since this is a major event that opened its doors not only to the nobility but also to the commoners, theres no way it can be held within a building.
And I heard theres no charge for it.
Apparently, its not a money-making event, but a festival A kind of music fest sort of.
Thats why theres no barrier between nobles and commoners, or so I heard.
Certainly, not all musicians are aristocrats.
Commoners normally dont have the luxury of practicing music from a young age, though, so it seems that most musicians are the third son of a noble family or even younger.
So its most likely that one of the purposes of this event is to find diamonds in the rough among music-loving commoners and turn them into patrons.
Thats why so of the commoners are putting their lives on the line for this concert.
Thats heavy
But we, the Society, will take it easy.
The purpose is just for advertising and publicity stunts, not to win prizes or anything like that.
If we can unveil the juvenile group and show them to the public that they are healthy and happy also to their parents thats good enough.
So theres no need to worry about mistakes or anything.
Thanks to this policy, we were able to enjoy our practice.
Compared to the difficulty of aiming for no mistakes, if you dont mind making a few ones, the amount of practice and difficulty would be greatly reduced. I dont want to give the younger children a hard ti for this.
If you were forced to practice hard and painful exercises, you will start to dislike the things youd normally like.
Well, its almost ti for the big day, the big show for everyone!
******
The venue was a temporary stage built in the wide plaza.
A large crowd surrounded it.
While the public remained standing, the nobles were sitting in chairs in an isolated area.
Of course, that area was surrounded by guards, and each nobleman had an escort on his side.
No matter how much of a festival it was, the event was well organized. Nobles have a lot of enemies, you know. Both dostically and internationally
Were in the back of the line. But not exactly last.
The first, last, and other delicious slots were taken by the children of powerful nobles or musicians who were patronized by those aristocrats.
Yes, the order wasnt drawn by lot or anything, but the organizers decided on their own.
Still, no one complained about it.
Its just a matter of course that the nobles were given priority in everything, and the fact that not only the nobles but also the commoners were allowed to participate in this concert makes it an honor for the commoners to be treated with respect and appreciation.
And although we dont have any patrons or connections to the organizers, well, thats fine.
Because they were called saints and were extrely popular among both the nobility and the commoners, they were assigned to the fourth from the last, which was a very good position, although not the best position (the first or the last).
Oh right, we are in two teams, so its fourth and fifth from last to be exact.
I applied for two teams because I had to make them separate teams, or else, we would only have ti for one team, but they were able to put them next to each other in the order I requested.
Otherwise, we would have to set up and put away the instrunts twice, and it would take a long ti to prepare and wait. The families of the mbers who ca to see the show also had to be there the whole ti
Im sure they would like to pull out of the venue together as soon as the kids are done, throw a celebration party with the kids to praise them, and take this opportunity to get to know the parents of the other mbers of the group.
Of course, its not just a friendship party as parents, but a sales activity as Parents Of Society mbers and connections and influence as aristocrats
Ah, the greetings from the organizers, their advertisents, and the request for donations are over.
Then the instrunts of the top batters are brought in, and the concert finally begins.
******
Umumu
The performances and songs of the other participants were, what can I say classic?
Well, of course, this would be the case, since this was the era where classical music was currently in the works.
The sound was not very profound due to the instrunts, the number of musicians in the group, and the poor acoustics of the outdoor setting, but, well, given the poor conditions, everyone did a pretty good job.
Perhaps because of the lack of daily entertainnt, or perhaps because they can enjoy aristocratic entertainnt for free, they were a big hit with the masses.
Certainly, it has a lot of musical and performance technical excellence that I think the classical enthusiasts of this world would enjoy.
But, aside from the mbers of the Society, the kids in the juvenile group were getting bored
And the song we have practiced and will perform today is not a classic one
******
And the turn of the performance progresses, and soon it will be the Societys turn.
Starting with the main group, to be followed by the juvenile group.
When the juvenile group enters, the main group needs to provide a lot of assistance and support, so if we havent finished our own performance, we might get distracted by a lot of things and make unexpected mistakes.
It would be sad for the children if it was their mistake, but very frustrating if the senior helpers caused it. Therefore, we cannot change this order.
The two previous teams were finished.
As the team in front of us was getting ready, we were doing final checks on our instrunts. It wont be long now
All right, lets get ready! (Mitsuha)
The performance of the previous team was over, and the preparation to exit from the stage began.
At the sa ti, we started bringing in our equipnt and setting them up!
This area had been prepped and all went smoothly.
I acted as the MC, introduced our group, then the Society group started playing after the introduction!
The song was a classical masterpiece of the earth.
I made them listen to so songs without video and made them vote on the song to be played. Then, the mbers, except , figured out the music by ear and practiced it.
I have taken the liberty of changing the na of the song to Search of Heaven. The original song title has no aning in this world after all
Naturally, since this would be the first ti it was released in this world, the audience assud that one of us composed this piece.
Therefore, even if the performance technique was a little poor, the excellence of the music was enough to make up for it.
And, unsurprisingly, it was a smashing hit! Applause and cheers roared!
Well, regardless of the performance, our Society was very popular, to begin with.
Its only natural that we were able to see such a reaction, and this was the kind of response we deserved.
Yes! All right, the PR effect was outstanding!
Next up, finally my big favorite, the main event of the day, the little girls no, no, the debut of the juvenile group!
The instrunts and the main group mbers didnt pull out, instead, they quickly moved to the back of the stage, leaving the center to the front portion of the stage open.
Then, I announced that the main groups performance had ended and that it was the turn of the next group, the Society Juvenile Group And I also explained that the reason why the main group didnt get off the stage was to support the juvenile group.
Well then, a round of applause for the Society Juvenile Group debut!! (Mitsuha)
At the sound of my voice, the mbers of the juvenile group rushed to the center of the stage.
They all wear matching cute frilly outfits with nekomimi headbands and tails!
The costus, of course, were the work of that certain cosplay store manager, who poured her heart and soul into them.
As expected, there were so many that she didnt have enough hands, so she asked for support from her peers
And.
Co on~, lets go! One, two, ah, one, two, three, four!
The children of the juvenile group perford a lively dance to the pop music that started to flow, which was upbeat and full of energy. Its a song from a famous Japanese ani show
Is this a concert, you say?
Its fine~, dont mind the small details!!
