Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 613 Girl and Sculpture

The last celebration event began. Although there was a competition element to it, it was actually more of a performance type, providing a stage for singers and musicians who had certain abilities but were not yet famous to show off their talents.

Celebrations and celebrations are ultimately about celebrating and commemorating, and they are also an opportunity to give those busy lives a chance to stop, relax and decompress.

On this day, many cities in the Yueji Star Region held similar parade band activities. The streets, alleys, forests and rivers were filled with cheerful melodies.

The war thousands of light years away has little to do with here. People still lead a simple life day after day. Because of the developed tourism and economy, the living environment here is quite comfortable, and it is difficult to have the sense of crisis like in the western star field.

"It's over." Standing on the high platform, Tilan, in a white dress, sat by the fence, watching the closing ceremony of the celebration below. The audience followed the band float in front of them, wandering in the forest, passing by the iconic buildings of this forest city along the way. Occasionally, residents on the roadside would give snacks to the musicians and the audience following the parade, and everyone was having a great time.

"Tilan, would you like to eat something?" Inoer and Phyllis followed her up the stairs behind her. The singing girl was holding a packaged snack in her hands.

"It was made by an aunt I know well, and it's still hot." She handed one portion to Tilan, then asked Phyllis, who was carrying a basket behind her, to take out another portion for Dolores.

"Is this...purple cattail?" Dolores smelled it and asked curiously.

"That's right, the powder ground from purple cattail will have a light fragrance." Inor remembered something.

"Come to think of it, my aunt has quite a few planted in her backyard. I guess she came up with the recipe herself."

Tilan listened and took a bite. A light sweet fragrance mixed with roasted wheat flour entered her mouth. Because it was still hot, it tasted very good.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious." Tilan nodded.

"Hehe." Inoer looked slightly proud and happy.

Today's competition was not as intense as Tilan had expected. It could be said to be the most bland and unsuspenseful of the five games, but it was also the most relaxing and joyful one. Everyone participated and watched with a relaxed mood. Even if there were occasional performance omissions, they would just laugh it off and not many people cared.

"After all, it's a festival, why be so serious and strict?" Many people watched with this mentality, and such a relaxed environment also allowed many contestants who were on such a big stage for the first time to give full play to their abilities without being too nervous.

At the end of the project, there was a chorus performance by Tilan and Inoer. The two took turns using various traditional elven instruments, and then one of them sang, completing the project and winning the final victory.

"This is the reward for the winner." After the competition, Inor gave a cup to Tilan.

The cup was a bit large. It was called a trophy, but it seemed that it could also be used to drink water. It was engraved with the words 'In the year 1260 of the Sixth Era, the reward for winning the Prosperity Festival was presented to Miss Angelica'.'

After taking the cup, Tilan weighed it curiously. Because it was made of wood, it was very light and some texture could be seen on it. The texture was delicate and light, and there were bursts of red in the wood color, which was somewhat similar to mahogany.

Seeing this, Inor introduced her: "The cup is made of the wood of the Moss Red Cardamom tree, which is one of the sacred trees of the elves. Although the cup made of this precious wood is not as good as the Twin Snake Golden Holy Grail given by the 'Twin Witch' Aihekatri in the legend, it also has its own effects."

"If you use this cup to hold clean water, over time it can be made into a mild universal elixir that can be used to cure many minor diseases and poisons. It may not be very useful now that medical treatment is advanced, but in the past, it could be said to be a family heirloom."

[Moss Red Cardamom Holy Grail] (Rare Rainbow Grade): When placed in clean water, it can produce a universal elixir that can cure many mild diseases and has a certain detoxification effect.

The effect is not very strong, but it is extremely universal and can be used as a missionary relic in some places.

At the end of the celebration, Tilan and Inol went on stage together. She slowly changed her hair color back to its original state, and then her eye color returned to normal. Amid the audience's surprise, she stood with Inol and introduced herself. Finally, under the fireworks and starry sky, they sang a soft traditional elven song, announcing the official closing of the celebration.

"I didn't expect you to be so accustomed to such a performance." After the end, Inor and Tilan talked alone.

"I initially thought that you were the kind of singer who was too radical and immersed in that heavy and grand narrative and couldn't get out of it." Inol thought about it and made this analogy.

"Why do you think so?" Tilan asked.

"Because the styles of the few songs you released in the past all tend to be in this direction." Inol said that this is the power of stereotypes.

"A singer's albums and songs are actually her personal business cards. Few people have so much energy to pay attention to your inner thoughts and experiences, so we have to express ourselves through singing." Inol talked about some of the singer's routines.

"I see." Tilan had heard this from other people before, but at that time she didn't care much about being famous, so she didn't spend too much energy on managing her image and promotion.

"It seems that we need to pay more attention to it in the future."

After that, the two talked for a long time, during which time they also walked and visited various scenic spots in the Yueji Star Region.

"After spending these days together, I have gotten to know you a little better, and I don't seem to be so repulsive to you anymore." Inor told Tilan before leaving.

"If you really intend to do something big and reorganize the Federation, I think I will stand by your side."

"You can sing such a gentle and moving ballad, a fairy song that even I admire. You must have a very beautiful utopia in your heart."

"I hope you can always keep your original intention and not be tainted by the world. This is my blessing to you~" Inor closed her eyes, put her hands together and prayed, and then light green stars floated in the forest.

"Green Moon, forest, earth, and all creatures walking and flying, bless the girl before you, so that she may be as pure and clear as the morning dew, and never get lost in this world full of tangled vines and tripping tree roots."

A breeze carrying cool dewdrops blew past the girl, some of which fell on her body, making her feel cool.

Is this kind of blessing really effective? Although Tilan didn't quite believe it, she didn't reject it. After all, it was the other party's good intention.

Then she said goodbye and left, heading to the star field where the next singer was.

'Azurite' Grey currently lives in the Windela star field, where the population is small and the terrain is otherwise. The entire surface of the planet is like a solidified gypsum sea, full of strangely shaped limestones, naturally forming various magnificent patterns. If you look down from the sky, it will be particularly magnificent.

This time, Tilan did not encounter any obstacles. She soon saw Gray, who was sitting in the large pit exhibition hall. He was working as a sculpture model for a group of plaster artists around him to create.

After finishing their modeling work, the two had dinner at a cliffside restaurant not far away. Outside the window of the small restaurant room was an endless sea of ​​gypsum, and the restaurant they were in was hanging under a cliff hundreds of meters high, with beautiful scenery.

Eating lunch leisurely, Grey listened to Tilan's narration and introduction without saying a word. It was not until Tilan ended somewhat helplessly that she slowly spoke.

"You don't need to use these big principles to convince me. I won't oppose your idea. If you want me to speak out together, I can agree to it. But I don't really want to do more."

She was not interested in political affairs, or rather, Grey was a rather ascetic singer, she even had a faint indifference towards her own life.

Tilan felt like she was touching cotton when facing such a person. This made her suddenly understand one thing: this world actually does not have too many restrictions and constraints. This means that there are people living with all kinds of ideas. Not everyone has to pay close attention to current affairs. They are just living their own small but unique life.

"I understand." Tilan said no more. She stayed here for another week, experiencing Grey's seemingly ordinary but slightly busy life. During this time, she was invited to the stage and served as a plaster model twice. Finally, local artists made two works based on her previous image.

"This one is 'Gray Moon Angel Angelia', and the other one is 'Moon Gazing Girl Heshia'." The staff gave the two works preliminary names.

Among them, the Gray Moon Angel Angelia is not colored and is in a gray model state as a whole. The sculpture is of a girl holding a hollow moon with a pair of wings extending from the back of her waist. The wings and the girl's figure are both relatively slender, and the girl's long hair that falls straight to her waist also highlights this. The girl's eyes and eyelashes droop, looking at the hollow moon in her arms, with a little nostalgia, but also a hint of loneliness and sadness, which makes people feel a vague regret.

Another sculpture is of a girl looking up at the sky. Her body is slightly bent backwards, and the thin black ribbon nightgown she is wearing gives a feeling of purity and temptation. One of her hands is raised as if she is holding something, or as if she wants to touch the bright moon in the sky, while the other hand is naturally extended slightly backwards, with her toes and arches slightly raised, showing the girl's graceful leg curves.

It has to be said that this place is worthy of being a gathering place for artists. These experienced and sharp-eyed masters can see the characteristics and wonderfulness of Tilan's figure at a glance, and try their best to show this beauty in the sculpture.

"Even I couldn't help but applaud. These guys are really good. I have always had some ideas but I couldn't grasp them. Sure enough, this kind of youthful, pure, delicate and beautiful image is your core." The girl's sister's voice rang in her mind.

"Why don't you continue sleeping?" Tilan was a little shy and annoyed. Why did this guy suddenly wake up at this time?

"Of course I'm looking at my lovely sister." Themisia's voice was full of joking.

'It's rare to meet such a knowledgeable art master. If I can move freely in the future, I must find a few more here to paint and sculpt for you.'

"That sounds a bit perverted," Tilan complained in her mind.

Looking at these two sculptures that were as tall as herself, Tilan felt a little strange, as if she was seen through. This unobstructed feeling made her feel shy and embarrassed for a while, especially because the sculptures depicted the body shapes too delicately, even with a sense of temptation.

Forget it, forget it. Tilan simply stopped thinking about it and looked up at Grey beside her. "What are you going to do with these two sculptures?"

"Does Tilan want it?" Grey could see Tilan's shyness and what she was thinking.

"Can I pay for it?" She wasn't taking it for free, after all, it was the artist's hard work.

"No." Grey unexpectedly rejected Tilan.

"Why?" Now it was the girl's turn to be surprised. Why did the usually dull Gray suddenly insist?

"Because this is my treasured treasure, consider it as a reward for Tilan's help." Grey couldn't help but tease the suddenly shy girl. This was also a rare time in recent years when her mood had such big ups and downs and interest.

"Okay." When it came to business, Tilan's momentum dropped and she didn't want to force it anymore.

After bidding farewell to Grey, Tilan set out on a journey again, heading for the Red Sand Star Region to visit the 'Nine-Colored Nautilus' Muyawati. This singer is extremely experienced and is of the same generation as Idria. She is one of the oldest singers in the world today.

The two met at each other's manor, which was a manor located on the savanna. The soil on the surface was reddish, and the buildings in the manor also had a rustic beauty.

Muyawati met Tilan wearing a gauze skirt decorated with five-colored thin straps, and she also had an ancient agate bracelet on her wrist.

"Are you looking at this?" Seeing Tilan's curiosity, she raised her wrist and showed the translucent stones of various colors on it.

"I made these when I was young." She remembered something.

"It was a very lively and joyful era. Singers would often visit each other, release albums together, perform together, and travel around."

"After being together for a long time, we also gave each other many gifts."

"Later, there were too many of these things, so I specially prepared a room to store them. But in order to commemorate each other, I would take out a bead from the gemstones or jewelry given to me by each good singer and string them into the bracelet. So I got this bracelet with a seemingly messy style." She shook her wrist as she spoke, and the beads collided slightly, making a slight sound.

Although it was said to be a gift from a friend, it is easy to associate it with something ominous, especially because she lived a long time and all her past friends have passed away.

During the conversation with the singer, Tilan felt a vague sense of distortion. What the other party said should be sincere, but inexplicably it seemed unreal, as if it was a tape recorder playing over and over again.

Yes, it is the tape recorder. The emotions conveyed seem to remain unchanged, without any subtle changes. It gives people an inhuman and strange feeling.

"I roughly understand." After thinking for a long time, Tilan did not continue to contact this person, but left after trying it.

"Why don't you continue? Giving up so quickly is not like you." Themisia's voice sounded in the girl's mind.

"Although I am somewhat resilient and won't give up easily, but she... maybe my heart has long been buried in the memories of the past, and now it's just my body moving by inertia." Tilan explained the reason.

"In that case, there is no need to force it."

……

"I feel a little down, maybe because I'm thinking about my possible future."

"When I grow old, the people I once knew will no longer be around."

"Hey, hey, I'm not dead yet." Themisia complained.

"Yeah, I almost forgot about my sister."

"What's that tone of yours? It sounds like you regret not killing me then."

"No, I just think my sister is too willful. I didn't dare to say it before because of the aura of genius."

"Oh, now that you've grown up, you think you're stronger than me, right? If I hadn't been careless at that time, we would have merged into one."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's so scary." Tilan rarely complained.

"I don't want to become the same person as my sister. I couldn't explain why before, but now I know. If the characteristics of my personality disappear, what is the difference between that and the demise of my self?"

"I am the one with low self-esteem, timid and shy. I used to avoid these things, but now I think it's good. Because of my low self-esteem, I have always been more cautious, which makes me feel safe. Although being timid is not pleasing, it also avoids a lot of unnecessary troubles and conflicts, and allows me to use my brain and reason to think about the possibility of completing a task. Although I still can't change my shyness, this is who I am. I will no longer deliberately distort myself and pretend to be generous and arrogant."

From avoiding in the beginning, to resisting and opposing later, to facing it calmly now, she is no longer troubled by these personality differences.

"I am who I am, Heshia Tilan, and I will do what I want to accomplish."
