A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

The dolls from before were already perfect, but now Bud Bush is even more flawless.

However, Budsh was more concerned with other things than with Eors's changes.

Budsh looked at the three musical scores in his hands and pondered for a moment.

In this rehearsal, Eorz will sing all three of his scores once.

Budbush showed all three scores to Eors once.

Eors had a good memory; he memorized all three scores after only looking at them a few times.

Budbush told Eols that the three scores were work, the price she paid for the affections she received.

Knowing that it was the person who had given him the emotional support who requested it, Eors was happy to accept the three extra songs.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before the performance, so inserting three new pieces is not a big problem.

Budsh tried humming the tune on the sheet music, only to find that nothing actually happened.

However, Budsh has never heard Eols sing.

"Click." The lights in the theater went out suddenly, and then two more lights came on, focusing on Eors.

Budsh frowned and began to focus his attention.

Because the next song was one of the songs that Baphomme requested to be sung.

Budsh arranged the songs according to the numerical order marked on the sheet music.

Eorz didn't pay much attention to what the next piece of music was.

All she did was sing all the songs scheduled for the show.

The song lingered in the air as Eorzsé sang the tune from his memory.

Without even realizing it, she smiled.

This song is very cheerful, so cheerful that it seems to make you forget all your troubles.

No, this isn't what it seems...

Budsh’s pupils gradually lost focus, and all he could hear was Eorz’s singing.

Apart from that, nothing else could be heard.

Not only Budsh, but even the staff put down their work to listen more attentively to Eors's singing.

Even the piano music stopped, because the pianist was completely absorbed in Eyers's voice.

Even without accompaniment, Eorz's a cappella singing was still beautiful.

It was as if there was another unseen pianist playing for Eorz.

Countless images flashed through Bud Bush's mind, scenes that represented the happiest moments of his life.

But none of those things could compare to the joy that Aeolus's singing brought him now.

Just as Eorz was about to finish singing the last line, the pillars around the stage suddenly collapsed, and then all the lights above went out.

Aeolus was startled by the sudden turn of events and took several steps back, his singing abruptly ceasing.

But it seemed that everyone except Eors was still immersed in the previous song and had not yet noticed this sudden change. "Father!" Eors called out.

It was only then that Budsh came to his senses and realized that everything around him was dark.

"What's going on..." Budsh was stunned. Only then did he realize that all the lights were broken.

"Wake up!" Budsh nudged the staff member next to him.

"This, this is..." The staff member was brought back to his senses after being pushed by Bud Bush.

Then the staff member quickly called for others.

After a while, all the staff who had regained consciousness quickly began to check the facilities in the theater.

"Aeolus, are you alright?" Budbush climbed onto the stage and asked anxiously.

“I’m fine.” Eors shook her head; she was just startled.

She didn't realize that everyone was acting strangely, so naturally she didn't realize what her singing had done.

"Father, how did I sing this time?" Eors looked at Badbusch with expectant eyes.

Seeing that look in his eyes, Bud Bush could only give one answer.

"Very good, even better than before."

“That’s great, then Tigia will be happy too,” Eors said with a smile.

Tiggia didn't come to this rehearsal because she wanted to hear Aeolus's official performance directly.

She wanted to hear Eols's most perfect singing voice, so she didn't come to this rehearsal.

Eors was practicing very hard so as not to disappoint Tigia's expectations.

“Well, Tiggia will definitely love it.” As he said this, Budbush broke out in a cold sweat.

He was probably the one who knew best what had just happened.

The other staff members seemed to think that they were simply too engrossed in listening to the music.

However, Budbush knew the origin of the score and immediately connected it to the side of Baphomet.

My strange state must be related to the song.

"I'm sorry, the venue is probably unavailable today..." a staff member said awkwardly as he ran over.

As he spoke, he bowed apologetically.

I don't know what happened, but all the lights in the venue suddenly went out.

The stage also sank slightly, causing some problems with the resonance well.

So, there's no way we can let the rehearsal continue today.

“It’s alright, it was an accident,” Budsh said politely.

Budsh was so easy to talk to that the staff member calmed down considerably.

"It will definitely be working normally tomorrow, please don't worry," the staff member said quickly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Budbush gave a kind smile that made people feel at ease.

For the staff, it was a good thing to be able to deal with such an easy-going person.

You should know that many of these people are quite difficult to get along with. They will keep making things difficult for you whenever there is a problem. The staff hates those guys the most.

"We'll work overtime to make it, so please don't worry, Miss Eors."

---

Although the rehearsal was abruptly interrupted, Eorz did not seem to be greatly affected.

On the contrary, she was quite happy.

Eors, who was able to express his emotions, was able to fully express all his feelings the first time he stood on the stage.

This made Eorse very happy, and she couldn't wait to tell Tiggia what she was thinking.

After Budbush accompanied Eorz back, he left Tiggia and Eorz alone.

These two girls must have a lot to say.

Bud Bush didn't interfere during their conversation.

However, as he left Eors and Tigia's residence, the gloom in Budbush's heart still could not be dispelled.

"What exactly is going on with that sheet music...?"

"It can't be an accident that something like this suddenly happened at the venue," Budsh muttered.

This is very strange, but of course, what is probably even stranger is Bhavamsa.

Just as Bud Bush was cursing Baffmie in his heart, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply.

"Hehehe, are you thinking about something bad?" Baphomet's strange laughter rang in Zaibadbush's ears.

Budbush felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Baffom's voice.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I do what you asked?" Budsh tried to back away, but suddenly realized that there was a wall behind him.

With nowhere else to retreat, Badbush could only look at Baffmie.

Baphomet was still the same; beneath the enormous cloak remained his tattered skeleton.

Actually, Budsh was very curious about how Baphomet, who had no limbs, managed to live a normal life.

"Yes, you did everything I asked, so I'm not here to do anything bad."

"Hehehe, even if you're saying bad things about me behind my back, I don't care," Baphomet said with a laugh.

"I'm just here to tell you something."

"Is there anything else?"

“It’s nothing serious, don’t overthink it,” Baphomet explained quietly, seeing Badbusch’s reaction.

“I have already heard the first song that Eols sang.”

"Were you at the meeting then?" Bud Bush looked at Baffmie in disbelief.

"What's so surprising about that? Even if I suddenly appeared next to you, you wouldn't have noticed, would you?" Baphomet's tone was contemptuous.

"This piece is indeed beautiful, and Eorz's singing truly brings out the beauty of the music perfectly."

“Singing without emotion will not bring out the full potential of this score.”

"You mean to make me look like I used to be?" Badbush thought of his state after hearing Eors's song and looked at Baphomet very cautiously.

“Yes, and not entirely,” Baphomet replied ambiguously.

"The score said it contained the emotion of joy."

“Aeolus expressed it perfectly, and I am very pleased.”

“The remaining two scores don’t need to be sung by the beautiful Eors,” Baphomet said.

"You mean the other two copies aren't needed?"

“That’s right, don’t ask why.” Baphomet directly extinguished Budbush’s curiosity.

"And the sheet music...?"

"Of course I'll take it back, but I'll leave one copy with you for now."

"After all, the first score still needs to be sung by Eors."

“…” Bud Bush’s eyes darted around, as if he was thinking about something.

"I've already retrieved those two musical scores that were supposed to be taken back, so you don't need to worry about them too much." Two musical scores appeared out of thin air in front of Baphomet.

The musical score appeared in the same way as before, accompanied by flames.

"When did you...?"

"So you really want to keep the score, just like you did when you stole Aeolus, right?" Baphomet mocked Badbusch. "I didn't!" Badbusch quickly explained.

Even if that's what he really thought, he couldn't possibly say it to Papiyas's face.

"Hehehe, it's okay, it doesn't matter if that's what you think," Baphomet said.

"I'm just like you, I want all sorts of rare and precious treasures."

“However, I don’t like it when others covet my things,” Baphomet said, putting away the two musical scores.

"I hope you won't do anything rash and secretly hide your share."

“Of course not…” Bud Bush’s white beard twitched, looking very guilty.

"However, there's one thing I want to know."

"What exactly is the purpose of that sheet music?"

“I won’t ask about the other two, but at least tell me what the one in your hand is for.” Budsh held the unknown sheet music in his hands with both curiosity and fear.

Because his reaction after hearing this song was really strange.

"Heh heh heh, do you know why people get addicted to hallucinogens?" Baphomet asked.
