Chapter 2501: Enduring Friendship and the Opening of the Opera
Chapter 2502: Enduring Friendship and the Opera
Miss Danister finally separated from the three people under the Big Ben of Belindel. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon. Although it was late summer, the sky was still bright at this time.
Shade watched Miss Danister disappear in the crowd alone, and then heard the witch in purple dress and blonde hair say:
"She looks very lost."
Fiona added the next sentence:
"Maybe she found that she is not as good as you, Teacher Feliana. But there is no need for that lady to compare with you. We are not in the same time and space, and she is in this era. She has reached the thirteenth ring by herself, which is already amazing."
Miss Feliana shook her head and said to Shade with a smile:
"She is probably not just lost because of this."
Then the three of them crossed the square and prepared to return to Belindel Manor:
"Shade, I noticed something very interesting. When we were in the bell tower just now, you didn't call that Danister teacher."
"Because I only call you teacher."
Fiona covered her mouth and laughed, and Miss Feliana also curled the corners of her mouth, pretending to look at Shade seriously:
"You don't need to use your skills to deceive witches on me, right?"
The red dragon girl laughed even harder, and Shade looked a little embarrassed, but didn't know how to explain it. So the blonde lady took his arm and asked with a smile:
"There's still some time before dinner, so why don't you accompany us around the city?"
"Of course no problem."
The three of them walked away, and Fiona, who was walking a little behind, noticed very keenly that Teacher Feliana didn't say anything like "You can actually call her teacher."
"Yeah, write it down."
The red dragon girl said to herself, very happy to have learned a new skill.
During dinner that day, Emilia also knew that she would leave the day after tomorrow. Although she had guessed that she would leave soon, when she really knew the specific time, her emerald eyes almost shed tears on the spot.
Fortunately, after experiencing so many things, the young elf was able to control her emotions well, and she also got Shade's promise about "time" on the deck last night.
So after dinner, she took time to say goodbye to everyone she met on the ship and in the manor. Emilia and Lianna said goodbye to not only the witches and witch apprentices, but also the maids whose names Shade couldn't even remember.
She was really likable.
Although Shade had to watch the opera specially prepared by the Golden Dawn Opera Company tonight, because the opera started very late, Dorothy asked Shade to go and see Emilia's situation and comfort her.
When Shad arrived at the door of Emilia's bedroom on the ship, he heard the following conversation:
"Ajelina, I'm leaving, remember to write to me (sobbing). Just send it to this address. Although it will take me half a month to receive the letter, you must remember to write to me."
"Oh, Emilia, I won't forget you (sad sobbing)."
"This is for you, Ajelina, may the tree bless you."
Emilia took off the wooden badge on her suitcase and handed it to Ajelina. The two girls, who were not tall, hugged and said goodbye. Then the little princess with red eyes asked:
"When you enter St. Byrons, will you check the illegal items in your carry-on luggage?"
"Yes, but only check the illegal items with element reactions."
"Well, Emilia, my dear friend, take these back with you. I hope our friendship will last forever."
As she said, Ajelina gave Emilia all the books she had brought in her suitcase. The pointed-eared elf looked at the books, and then his face turned red:
"It's not that I don't want this"
"Please accept it. You don't check ordinary books, but my sister will definitely check the ordinary books I bring back. My sister didn't find any problems with these books. I first put them in Shade's house and then shipped them to you to entertain you. Now they still can't belong to me."
The red-haired little princess hugged the friends she met in this special summer of 1854 again:
"I also left some for Iluna. If you have gifts for her, I can pass them on. She is busier than all of us, but it is easier for her to see Shade. Goodbye, my friend."
"Oh, Ajelina, goodbye, my friend."
The little unicorn watched them say goodbye, completely unaware of the comprehensive weight loss plan he would start after returning to the familiar academy-it's true that Mia doesn't gain weight, but she is really a little heavy.
Shade was a little surprised when he heard all this at the door. He was about to go in and comfort them, but a hand stretched out from behind and pressed his shoulder.
Of course he knew that it was Dorothy behind him, but when he turned around and saw the mysterious expression on the blonde girl's face, he knew that it was not Dorothy but Resia.
At this time, Shad could only pray for Ajelina in his heart. The punishment that Resia had mentioned, that she would only wear underwear and recite her "private collection" in front of them, her acquaintances, must not be true.
[So, who should we pray for her? ]
"She" suddenly asked, and Shad, who continued to listen to the girls' farewell with Resia, thought for a while:
"Can Mia?"
"She" just smiled and said nothing more.
Tonight's performance by the Golden Dawn Opera Company only invited Shade. However, because the performance took place on the boat, the other girls didn't say much and just regarded it as a reward for the "hero".
Although there was only one person in the audience, when Shade entered the theater at 7:30 that evening, wearing formal clothes and without a cat as requested by Sirius, he was still stopped by the young blonde girl:
"Guest, where are your tickets?"
Sirius asked, wearing light makeup and a white blouse paired with a dark blue formal skirt, and stretched out her hand to Shade. And when she saw Shade hand out the well-kept tickets in his notebook, the smile on her face became brighter:
"Let me see this ticket."
She pretended to test it against the light, and nodded clearly:
"The ticket itself is fine, but this ticket can only be held by Rejed's Hamilton Knight. I also need to verify your identity."
After saying that, he threw away the ticket, then put his arms around Shade's neck and kissed him.
After the kiss ended, Siris Lassus nodded with satisfaction:
"Verification passed, your kissing skills are very good, you are indeed the prodigal knight. So, please~"
After saying that, he made way to the auditorium of the theater, and Shade looked at the dark theater behind the passage because the lights were not turned on, and vaguely felt that something special might happen tonight.
As the cabin theater of the "Brilliant Messenger" with a capacity of four figures, although there are no high-hanging private boxes that are favored by princesses, at least the number of auditoriums is sufficient.
At this time, the stage curtain was closed tightly, there were no lights in the room, and there was no one in the rows of seats. Shade relied on dark vision to walk forward along the aisle, and then chose to sit in the seat printed on the ticket that Sirius gave him, which was the seat in the center of the first row.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought. As soon as he took his seat, the thick curtains opened to the left and right sides, and the dazzling light completely illuminated everything on the stage.
"Oh~"
[You seem disappointed? 】
Sure enough, Vanessa was not the only one on the stage, but there were many girls besides Vanessa. The setting of the scene looks like the interior of a huge and magnificent castle, but the appearance of the protagonist at this time is not good at all.
The beautiful blond female opera singer was wearing a small silver crown and a wrinkled dress. She was tied to the throne at the highest point of the palace by a hemp rope as thick as her wrist.
Other girls participating in the performance dressed up as witches, knights, astrologers, nuns and other adventurers, and walked towards the throne together as the music gradually began to play.
Suddenly there was a burst of thunder above the head, and Sirius, who hurriedly appeared from the backstage with a dragon horn headband on his head and some bulky dragon wings on his back, stood next to the "kidnapped" Vanessa, holding Sweeping forward with a sword.
After an unknown ventriloquist made a "swipe~" sound, all the adventurers flew out and fell heavily on the castle ground under the high throne platform.
The low and depressing music just now became passionate. Next to the musicians in the corner, Miss Nina Tiris, the nine-ring warlock of the troupe, acted as the narrator:
"The evil dragon from afar invaded our kingdom, kidnapped our princess, and defeated the loyal warriors. The country is about to burn, and the princess is about to die. Foreign knights from afar, we need your help! "
At the same time, the other lights on the stage remained unchanged, but a brighter spotlight focused on the "Evil Dragon" Sirius. With a smile and an expression that Shade couldn't understand, she looked at him and sang:
"I bring destruction, wealth comes into my pocket. The princess, so beautiful, now comes into my breast. Rise, fire, and devour this kingdom; roar, dragon, all is irreversible.
But if anyone wants to reverse all this, he must find the princess before midnight and pick the most beautiful flower. "
With that said, Sirius took the red rose from the waistband of her skirt and inserted it into Vanessa's ear, who was tied up.
The music symbolizing fate became louder and more exciting, accompanied by Sirius' extremely professional laughter - this laughter was extremely inconsistent with the beautiful Sirius. The stage device started, and amid the sound of mechanical rotation, the lifting platform belt She disappeared together with Vanessa, who looked at Shade in tears and "panic".
Vanessa, who played the "kidnapped princess", shouted to the only audience off the stage before disappearing:
"Help me, knight!"
