I will never give in to Miss Death

Ruins, home, nature, hell, hatred, and great love.

Finally, as the huge holographic projection condensed by Xiaomo with magic turned into stars and disappeared, the music resounding over the venue gradually stopped.

"The red morning light flows away from under the apple tree, and the blazing fire of the sun stings people's hearts like a bee sting."

“La la la, la la la la…”

After reciting the last line of the lyrics and singing a short section of the melody, my voice gradually faded away.

"..."

Then there was a long silence.

Some of the audience members lowered their heads, some wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes calmly, and some seemed still unwilling to come back to their senses from some kind of fantasy. For nearly half a minute, no one made a sound.

Not knowing what was going on, I quickly bowed to the crowd below, turned off the microphone, and trotted to Xiaomo's side.

"What...what happened?"

I used my eyes to signal the people around me in the audience: "Why are they silent? Did I sing badly?"

“Ah… not really.”

Yin Xiamo, who was wearing a traveler cosplay costume, looked a little embarrassed: "It's just... Nuo'er, you mastered this elf mode very quickly. Just now, I seemed to have inadvertently used a small amount of life and purification magic on the people below. Now they are a little...unaware."

"Eh?"

I was dumbfounded: "What do you mean?"

"Every elf is a natural singer and bard. Their songs have a certain magical power that can heal people's hearts and boost morale on the battlefield. You sang very well just now, Nuoer. You have fully utilized this ability of the elves."

Yin Xiamo looked at the crowd below the stage: "It's just... it's just a bit too much."

"What do you mean by overexerting yourself?"

"There are also some 'powerless people' in our world. The effect of the elves' singing on them will be many times greater. I think it is the same here on Earth."

Yin Xiamo lowered her voice and explained, "Nuo'er should know something about the situation here, right? Now happens to be the most stressful time in peacetime. People who come to the comic exhibition are more or less in the mood to relax and relieve stress. In other words, everyone usually has their own troubles, such as being urged to get married by their families, failing exams, and not being able to pay off car loans and mortgages. Therefore, many people who come to the comic exhibition have something on their minds. The personal effect of the elves on ordinary people is enhanced, and the purification effect of that moment will bring them a very exaggerated experience."

Yin Xiamo shrugged again and said, "Of course, when your singing stops, Nuoer, the huge gap will make them want to indulge in the happiness just now and not want to return to reality."

"Is it... is it that scary?"

I was a little embarrassed: "Just now I seemed to be singing along with the dream you sent me, Xiaomo..."

"I didn't send you the dream."

The girl in front of him said something shocking: "All those things just now were sung by you, Nuoer, after you suddenly realized the main melody of the elves."

"Eh?"

This time it was my turn to be dumbfounded: "Xiaomo, didn't you cast any magic on me just now?"

"No, I used magic to modify the players so that they could play songs from our world. But because I was not familiar with this thing, it took a little longer and I didn't have time to give you the ability to use dreams, Noer."

Yin Xiamo gestured at her phone: "In the end, you sang along with the melody, and... you also added the elves' singing ability to purify their voices."

Is...is that so?

"Ah... What a shame, it's over."

"Yeah, it's really beautiful. It feels like the last time I heard such mesmerizing music was more than ten years ago."

While Xiaomo and I were talking, the passers-by around us seemed to gradually wake up from their "dreams". Many of them stretched out their bodies and said, "Phew... I feel much better. This trip was not in vain."

"Yeah, it feels like I've been purified, better than taking a big sip of Coke!"

"I've recorded the whole song, and I'm going to play it on loop when I get back."

"By the way, does anyone know who this singer is? How can he sing so well at such a young age..."

"She's not a singer, she's... well, how should I put it? Go to the Minami-Nagi district and look for advertisements there. There's a maid cafe and people are working there."

After a while, as these people "woke up", the huge comic exhibition gradually returned to its noisy environment.

"I have to think of a way to deceive Xiongxiong and her parents about the holographic projection."

Seeing that quite a few people had come to the back of the stage, Yin Xiamo whispered, "Nuo'er, how do you think this should be explained?"

"Put that aside for now..."

I looked at the many people below the stage who had already "finished" but were reluctant to leave with some uneasiness, and said with some concern: "Xiao Mo, you said that I accidentally used the power of the elves on them. Will that have any effect on these people?"

"Influence?"

Yin Xiamo turned around: "There is definitely an impact."

"Is it okay?"

I asked cautiously, “What will be the impact?”

"The role of the elves' songs on the battlefield is to win people's hearts and improve cohesion. If it is a bard, it is to make others happy and then give gold coins. To put it simply..."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Yin Xiamo deliberately paused here.

"If the basic favorability between people is 0, and ordinary friends is 50, then Nuoer, your song directly increases those people's favorability towards you by more than 80."

"To put it simply, they have probably become your most loyal fans at this point."

"..."

……

No. 278 So that’s how it is. I totally understand it!

Before the crowd could react, Yin Xiamo and I went to the backstage of the stage.

The man who was previously in charge of hosting the show cleverly came out from behind the scenes and took over our "shift". He gave a passionate performance to the audience.

"Everyone, how are the two small performances that our company has added temporarily? Isn't the little sister's singing very sweet?"

"Even I was shocked. This kind of 3D holographic projection and movie-level special effects cannot be simulated by ordinary equipment. If you also want to have a powerful graphics card to maximize the performance of your computer at home and want to travel around the Apocalypse Headquarters in "Age of Aquarius"..."

"Please pay attention to Jialan Company's upcoming Apocalypse series graphics card launch conference! Of course, in addition to graphics cards, our company's motherboards, chassis, and radiators are also very good choices!"

"..."

"Noel."

I had already run behind the scenes, but I was still wondering how the host on the stage would smooth things over. Xiaomo, who was beside me, had already come over. She rubbed my ears with some concern, and then wiped the sweat off my forehead: "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"I……"

I was a little curious: "Is it normal for me to feel uncomfortable?"

"Not really. I lived as a demon for many years before. When I first went to the Elf Forest and saw the Elf Tree awaken to Elf Mode, I didn't have any major problems. But I heard that a few half-elf and half-demon hybrids like me will experience some discomfort when awakening."

Yin Xiamo smiled and said, "Nuo'er is a four-form hybrid. There is no precedent in history, so I am a little worried."

"So why did you have to set me up as a four-form hybrid?"

I crossed my arms. "So do I have a biological father and mother? Created out of thin air?"

"This is... a secret."

"hateful."

"Good boy, you can't say bad words."

The girl in front of me stretched out her hands to me: "Come, let's play a game."

I tilted my head habitually: "What game?"

"I'll sing a nursery rhyme first, Nuoer, you write down the melody."

After saying that, before I could agree, Yin Xiamo in front of me started singing to herself -

"Let's dance Capucine together. Our granary is empty, but our neighbors have some extra food, but we can't eat it...Yeah!"

"This is not that..."

I felt as if some memory from ancient times had been awakened: "Isn't it the cat-clapping song?"

"So Noer, let's give it a try."

Grabbing both of my hands and raising them in the air, Yin Xiamo stepped back and raised her own hands in the air as well: "Come on, let's count three, two, one, and beat the rhythm together... Three, two, one, let's, dance together, Capcina..."

I subconsciously clapped my hands with Xiaomo, following the rhythm of the song: "Home, granary, eat up everything..."

Behind the stage, the host in front was dealing with the audience, the staff in the back were rushing to arrange the equipment, Xiongxiong was explaining everything that had just happened to her relatives, and Xiaomo and I were clapping at each other in the middle.

"Neighbor, there is surplus food at home, but we can't eat it...Yeah!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

After we finished the first part following the rhythm, Xiaomo wanted to raise her hand to continue playing, so I quickly made a "pause" gesture: "So what are we doing?"

"I want to see if you can go into cat girl mode, Noelle."

The girl in front of me looked mysterious: "There are so many people at this comic convention. It would be a great day if I could run around with a cat girl in my arms."

"What? I'm going into cat girl mode!"

I stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, raised my little fist and knocked on the guy's head: "Can you be more serious!"

"I'm very serious!"

Yin Xiamo said aggrievedly: "Originally, I didn't want Nuoer to get involved in this aspect within the past hundred years, but I don't know why. After I took you to Yue'erlan Island and came back, I saw that you had a lot more aura of the elves on your body, which was a sign of awakening. So I thought of telling you about it in advance, but I didn't expect that you could master the method of awakening in one go, so..."

"So you're thinking of trying to see if you can make me awaken the cat girl form again?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Does my current state mean that I have mastered the method?"

"You are just one step away from success. Just now, you have completely adapted to the life breath of the elves. You were able to sing on the stage even though I didn't input the dream into you. It shouldn't be difficult for you to change your form in the future."

Yin Xiamo said seriously: "But I personally hope that Nuoer will awaken the cat girl form first... hehehe..."

"Hey hey hey what the hell is this, Xiaomo your image!"

The corners of my mouth twitched involuntarily: "Xiao Mo, can't you just help me switch forms? Why are you so obedient this time?"

"I'm not an omnipotent god. Noer, I'm a half-elf myself and have experience, so I can spend a certain amount of mana and life magic to help you open your elf form. Catgirls are not an area I'm familiar with, so I can't help you with this. I can only try to see if I can use some small tricks to activate the cat blood in your heart."

"I always feel like he's very sinister."

"This is called complete love for Noer."

"What about the succubus?"

I narrowed my eyes. "If Xiaomo is a demon, can you let me enter demon mode like the elves? It should be very powerful."

"Demons and succubi are both demons, but they are not the same creatures. I am not familiar with the elements of the succubus' body. Even if I am familiar with it, I would not use Nuoer for experiments at this time. It is too dangerous for a succubus to fully activate its abilities."

"Oh?"

I seemed to hear something particularly amusing: "How dangerous is it?"

"Let me put it this way. You just sang in the Elf mode. The people around you heard you. At most, they just regarded you as an idol who gave them motivation to move forward. If the succubus sang on the spot with so many speakers and used her abilities..."

At this point, Yin Xiamo paused and said, "In order to ensure Nuo'er's safety, I will take action. There should be a river of blood here."

Is it that exaggerated?

"Hey - Nuo'er, Xiaomo!"

During the conversation, Xiong Xiong, who had just finished arguing with the staff behind the stage not far away, waved to us and said, "Come on, my dad is back!"

"coming!"

Xiaomo and I looked at each other and trotted towards the open space behind the scenes where Xiongxiong was.

"Let me introduce you. This is my dad. You can call him Mr. Sikong, or...Tom."

At a few tables behind the scenes, Xiong Xiong pointed to a man wearing a jacket and sunglasses and said, "Dad, these are my good friends I met here, Yin Nuoer and Yin Xiamo. If it weren't for them, our press conference would probably be ruined."

"Oh, you are my daughter's...good friends? Nice to meet you."

The man called "Tom" came over and patted Yin Xiamo and me on the shoulders, and said in very broken Mandarin: "I heard my daughter mention you. You... are great. I listened to the show just now. The singing was beautiful, like the voice of an angel."

Even the angel's voice...

An image of an archangel lady who was addicted to games came to my mind.

Now I actually have some of the abilities of an angel, right?
