I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

"Thank you, Alicia~"

"Hmm~ In this regard, shouldn't Xi Wang offer a more... sincere [gift of gratitude]?"

"Then... shall I let you touch my hair? It's very soft, like water, and feels very comfortable to touch. I'm quite confident in that regard, you know?"

"Hmm... Xi Wang pretending to be confused... that's really going too far."

Alicia struggled to look away from Xiwang's hair, then puffed out her cheeks slightly, showing her displeasure.

"It's so unfair that Xiwang didn't invite me this time... Isn't there anything I can... do to help?"

Alicia hinted as much as possible... Ever since she learned that Xiwang was similar to her yet different from her own kind, Alicia had been trying to help him, but Xiwang seemed to be very resistant to her help.

Honestly, Xi Wang is just like me, we both love [humans] so much, and we both want to do something for [humans]... If that's the case, we should work together and help each other~ Why... why are you so resistant to my involvement?

Alicia didn't understand.

"Because it's not necessary, Alicia... This time, you don't need to do anything. You just need to enjoy yourself."

Xi Wang gently shook her head and said softly, then changed the subject again.

"Oh right, where's Pato?"

"Pado went to the kitchen."

"...Hmm? Going to steal some dried fish?"

"Haha~ No, it's just that Pado was thinking of taking advantage of your performance to talk to the chefs about opening a small stall to provide everyone with some food and drinks, like popcorn. She'll walk around among the audience selling those snacks."

"Well... I guess I should say, as expected of Pado?"

"Oh right, Kevin might be a little late, since he had an urgent mission, but he's already on his way back at full speed~ He'll make it in time."

"Yes, I believe he won't be late."

"Aponia has also gone to the 'Deepest Place' with your arrangements~ It should be time by now, great~ That way everyone there can see your 'concert'~?"

"That would be wonderful!"

"Everyone else is spending time with their friends. After all, there's still some time before their performance, so they can enjoy your music with their loved ones before making preparations... It's just poor Qianjie who has no friends and had to come here early."

"You! You're so long-winded, Alicia."

Qianjie was about to shout out, but after thinking it over carefully, he held back.

"Actually, you could go find Imer, wouldn't you? Thousand Calamity, or just chat with the other warriors. Everyone would be happy to share your joy."

"Hmph... Happiness? I don't need that kind of thing... Besides, this kind of peaceful yet noisy place only annoys me, and... it's almost time, so why aren't you guys getting out of here?"

"Okay, thank you for reminding us!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of Qianjie here."

"Get out of here, Alicia!"

"Ha ha……"

…………

As the setting sun casts its last rays, it is time for the performance to begin.

Clapping gently, the golden light flows with the sunset, as if coming from the horizon.

A melodious and highly recognizable singing voice quietly rose along the golden stream, it was the song of Eden, accompanied by soft harmonies, it was the voice of Dawn.

As the opening song, it must be magnificent, firmly capturing everyone's attention, so that whether they are watching in person, watching from elsewhere through a broadcast, or even listening on the radio, their attention will be focused on his and her song.

However, if you are still struggling to make a living, if you are still worrying about tomorrow, if you are still fighting for the future of mankind, and therefore cannot witness or hear this song, that is fine.

Xiwang used all his previous "connections" and the "favors" left by those who had helped them in the past to obtain broadcasting and rebroadcasting rights to almost all existing human cities... And the warriors who are still fighting on the front line need not worry, the blowing "wind" will carry the song to their side.

From then on, his songs were heard everywhere, and from then on, he owed no one anything.

The song floated on the air, causing the golden light to flow quietly, outlining the shape of musical notes and embellishing the surroundings little by little. The dance steps turned lightly, causing the blowing wind to be unconsciously tinged with color, and causing the water that appeared out of nowhere to converge into streams, outlining a magnificent scene in the air.

It was an autumn scene, a beautiful maple forest, the glow of the setting sun reflecting off the golden landscape, and you could even faintly hear the rustling sound of footsteps on the fallen leaves.

...Wait, "water"?

…………

“Dr. Mei, Xi Wang…”

"Don't speak, just observe the wavelengths on his body."

Inside the base, Mei, watching the "concert" broadcast through the equipment, spoke expressionlessly.

“I know, but… has Xi Wang developed some new ability? He can even draw now. No wonder he can build a stage without needing lights or backup dancers. He can do it all by himself.”

"……probably."

"It's amazing..."

"Ah."

Mei responded casually, her gaze fixed on Xi Wang in the picture, without looking away.

Three colors: wind is cyan, which can be considered green; water is blue; and... what is red? Fire? These constitute the most basic three primary colors. Then, the wind and water depict the scenery in the air, and different combinations of the three primary colors are used to add color... It seems you are indeed capable of carrying the entire "concert" by yourself. Now it feels like watching a movie.

However... three colors, three different things, does that mean... the "past" that Xi Wang spoke of has already happened twice, and now it's the "third time"?

But then another question arises... If a color corresponds to a thing, then... what does gold mean? Does it have some other meaning? Or does it represent something more special?

Mei frowned, continuing to follow her thoughts while glancing occasionally at the monitoring equipment beside her.

...Also, Xi Wang hasn't said what kind of help he needs from me and Mebius yet...Does he really have some other plans?

Mei turned her gaze back to Xi Wang's figure on the screen.

Xi Wang... I hope what you said is true, and that the final impact and the final outcome will be good.

…………

The song with Eden has come to an end. As the song stops and the music fades, the scenery depicted by Xiwang with wind and water slowly dissipates. Even the sunset has completely disappeared, leaving only a few remaining rays of light from the horizon, bestowing the earth with its final afterglow.

The music ended, but the golden radiance, like a flowing stream, lingered, and the golden notes continued to linger.

Eden gave a graceful bow, then, with a smile and anticipation, slowly departed, leaving Xiwang alone on the stage, and then…

With light steps and graceful twirls, the flowing water and gentle breeze, along with the golden light, gathered around him, draping him in a brand-new performance costume. The breeze blew and swirled, outlining a pair of slender animal ears on his head, and this time... they were white, perfectly matching his wave-like white hair.

When red, green, and blue are intertwined, isn't that white?

With laughter and joy, she reached out her hand to invite Sakura, who was taking the stage, to gently grasp her slender hand and dance with her.

The song floats on the water, the stream flows gently, and little by little, a brand new scene is depicted. In the last rays of daylight and in the cold wind of night, pale pink petals fall quietly.

That's the scene when cherry blossoms fall.

…………

"Wow~ Look, look! That's my sister! You know that?! That's my sister!!"

"Okay, okay, Ring... Everyone here knows your sister... Even if you know you want to show off, there's no need to nag like this, is there?"

"But...that's my sister!!! She's amazing! So beautiful!"

"...Sigh, whatever, whatever. I can't stand you guys at all."

…………

As the dance ended and the scene of cherry blossoms falling faded away, Sakura's gaze lingered on Xi Wang, a smile spreading across her face, and the pair of long, slender, scarlet animal ears on her head twitched happily twice.

She bowed to him and then quietly left... Now it was Xi Wang's turn to shine.

Night was falling, and light clouds covered the sky, obscuring the starlight, but the bright moon was still shining.

There weren't many lights around the stage, and even those that were originally there were turned off at this moment.

If you ask why... it's because Xi Wang is here, and he can illuminate the surroundings.

The golden glow remains, the golden notes remain, and the soft light they emit is enough to illuminate the surroundings. As night falls, this light shines even brighter.

One song after another, one melody after another, the music flowed, the notes floated, and occasionally, Xi Wang's lighthearted singing would lead to a fun interaction with the audience.

Sometimes, musical notes would surround Klein, making her sparkle and causing her to feel embarrassed... In the end, it was Möbius who came to her rescue, his eyes, identical to those of a snake, scanning the surroundings, and the others awkwardly looked away... However, they would occasionally steal a few glances and chuckle.

Sometimes, the musical notes would quietly rest on Imer's head, looking like NPCs in a game with quests waiting to be accepted, which was quite interesting. The notes would also gently bounce with the beat or sway gently with the melody, which looked very fun... This made Imer the target of his companions' teasing for a long time.

Sometimes, the musical notes would gather together, wrapping Rin up like a little golden man, or even eventually forming a "ball" that looked like a "little Maruko," which was quite amusing... And when these musical notes dissipated, a pair of slender, scarlet animal ears would appear on Rin's head, exactly like Sakura's beside her. Now, they looked even more like sisters... When Rin learned this, she was overjoyed and happily took pictures with Sakura.

However, the ears faded and disappeared quietly after a few songs, which made Ling feel a little regretful.

And...and...

In short, there were several other interesting experiences that brought smiles to everyone's faces, and these amusing experiences left a vivid mark on everyone's memories.

Finally, the "concert" came to an end, and it was time for the "curtain call".

Those in the audience who knew what the final song was, such as Gretchen and Alicia, all took out their devices to record their friends' and family's performance.

And behind the scenes...

"Hurry, hurry... Hey Kevin, aren't you going to change your clothes?"

"Then what..."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you just arrived... Never mind, it's fine if you don't change. This combat uniform looks pretty cool... Hmm, it's not dirty or messy at all. Okay! Go on stage like this!"

"……it is good."

"...Dobia, am I...okay?"

"Oh, don't worry, you'll definitely be fine! Or is it that you don't like the clothes I picked out for you?"

"No……"

"That's good then~ Come on, come on, hurry up and get on stage, get in your positions, it's almost time!"

"........."

"What a surprise, Qianjie is so quiet... You're not a fake, are you?"

"I heard you! (whispering)"

"Oh, it seems it's true."

"You little brat?!" (whispering)
