Chapter 869 The Song for Her Dear Friend
“Woah...” Xentia was amazed to see the musical theatre performance on stage.
Beautiful song, good dance, and mesmerizing theatrical performance. The girls were amazed to watch this entertainment program.
‘Erina will be performing after this, right?’ Elysia looked at the list of events on her smartphone.
‘It’s honestly very unfortunate. Erina will make this nice event her farewell to her fans. She will probably focus on her cultivation to gain more power, Ely.’ Elena leaned her cheek against her hand.
‘However, it was her own wish, right?’ Elysia turned to the side, looking at Elena’s face.
‘That’s not entirely true. She did that partly because of you, Ely. She wants to be with you and us. Therefore, she will fight for it. Sigh, we can’t recruit Earthlings right now because the Vrelenia issue isn’t over yet.’ Elena heaved a subtle sigh in her mind.
‘But, Madam Lifa tried to recruit Earth Mother in various ways some time ago.’ Elysia went back to watching the music performance on stage.
‘Yeah, we don’t know why she’s trying to recruit Gaia so much. Unfortunately, Gaia can’t join now, but that doesn’t rule out future opportunities.’ Elena glanced at Lifa briefly, then averted her gaze.
‘Elysia, can you hear me?’ Xero suddenly contacted Elysia via telepathy.
‘Mm, I can hear you clearly. Did something happen?’ Elysia responded casually.
‘There isn’t any. I just wanted to double-check it in case I missed it. You told me we were going back to our world the day after tomorrow, right? Then, tomorrow is a grand meeting event in the Pacific Ocean?’ Xero tried to confirm a few things.
‘Yup, do you want to come to the grand meeting? All the higher-ups and powerful people from all over the world would gather. However, some of them want to bully us.’ Elysia changed her intonation to a pitiful one.
‘Heh, I thought it was the other way around. You are the one who will bully them. Moreover, those Goddesses will definitely not stand still.’ Xero snorted.
‘So are you going to come with us or not? Or, do you perhaps want to continue your meditation on that volcano again?’ Elysia asked once again.
‘Let me know when you arrive at the meeting place. I’ll be a bit late.’ Xero answered briefly, then cut off the line of communication. Regardless, he was interested in attending the event because he would assess all the strong people in the Earth Realm.
‘Xero will follow tomorrow morning.’ Elysia reported the results of her conversation just now.
‘Fufu, he will play the villain and suppress everyone without us having to ask for anything. That demonized Demi-God needs to know what the real devil’s threat looks like. The puny human claims to be an almighty God and wants to rule us. That’s literally the ignorant mob trying to challenge the final boss.’ Elena covered her smile with her folding fan.
*Bam*
The hall lights went out entirely right after the musical theater finished. It was dark for a few seconds, but a single spotlight returned to the stage.
“Shadows under the night sky
Sketch the stars and share a story
Catch the breeze of the weather’s chill
The warm feeling of one’s will~”
A girl with long dark brown hair, which she let loose, walked on stage while singing a melodious song. She opened her deep yellow eyes to see all the attention on her, but she was more focused on a specific VIP room.
She sang an opening song for her entrance, along with the rhythm of the music. She moved across the stage like she was dancing in the starry night sky that matched the theme of her outfit.
After the first song was sung, several hosts returned to the stage to invite Erina into a short conversation like a talk show.
“Good night, Erina-sama. It’s a sweet and soothing song.”
“The song just now seems to give a nostalgic feeling of the past. I can feel something like a pleasant and long-awaited meeting under the starry night sky.”
“It’s suit perfectly with your gorgeous starry night gown, Erina-sama. We heard it’s one of the new songs for your album which will be released soon. May we know the title for the song you just sang, Erina-sama?”
The presenters spoke in turn. They then gave Erina a chance to talk.
“Good night to everyone. I wish you all the blessings of health and safety. We’ve all been through a lot, and now things are getting better. The song I just sang is called Night Encounter, one of the new songs for my new album that will be released tomorrow.” Erina replied with a tender smile.
Hearing the news, some of the audience felt enthusiastic and excited. They had been waiting for the golden diva’s new album, and now it was just officially announced by Erina herself!
“This is really exciting news for all of us, Erina-sama. No one would have thought that your new album would be released tomorrow! Yeah, the sooner the better!”
“Besides the exciting news, we caught the rumor that you will announce another shocking news tonight, Erina-sama. Can you satisfy our curiosity to confirm the truth of that?”
The presenters then continued their questioning to one thing they really wanted to confirm.
“That was the rumor from backstage earlier, hmm? That’s right, I wanted to announce something tonight.” Erina nodded slightly.
“If you please.” One of the presenters invited Erina to announce related things.
“Thank you, everyone. Three years have passed since my first debut, and I feel very happy to have so many people who like my songs. However, the day had passed and it was time for me to step down. Tonight is my last day performing in the music industry and tomorrow’s album will be my last album.” Erina immediately announced the news of her retirement as a golden diva.
That news seemed to be a bomb that suddenly exploded in many people’s minds, especially Erina’s fans. Not to mention, the event was broadcast live.
Erina had just announced something that made many people rejoice because her new album would be released tomorrow. Still, she followed it up with the news of her resignation, which caused a lot of people to gasp in shock. They felt something was wrong and were unwilling to let the golden diva step down from the music industry because of her high popularity. No more Erina’s song; many people didn’t want that.
The audience became a bit noisy because of that news, and one of the presenters immediately returned from his brief stupor. “E-Erina-sama, that’s really shocking news. However, do you have any special reasons for your resignation in the music industry? Is your new album also your farewell? I’m sure many people are confused and unwilling, like me.”
“Mm, it’s time for me to reach my dream. I still have so many things to learn. Some matters related to family affairs and business also need to be taken care of. I hope for your understanding.” Erina smiled gently and closed her eyes.
“Ooh~ So, it’s like a temporary farewell because you need to continue your studies and take care of family matters. Hmm, that makes sense. It might take a year, two, or even a few years. We’ll look forward to your return to music, Golden Diva-sama.” Another presenter expressed her understanding.
Her statement made most people feel at ease because Erina might only be stepping down from the music industry temporarily. Above all, Erina’s reasons turned out to be plausible, not because of agency pressure or anything like that.
“Therefore, I will sing another new song. I will dedicate this song to my dear friend. The one who gave me a lot of inspiration and new experiences.” Erina reached her hand forward towards a specific VIP room where Elysia was.
Erina had requested, and the presenters received the signal to give the stage for Erina. Erina needed to sing three songs on this show, but it became two because of it.
The theater hall lights once again only focused on the stage. Beautiful glittering light adorned her appearance as if to accentuate her beauty.
“The more I know, the blurrier it becomes
No one knows it’s a chasm of mystery
I wake up in a pleasant summer dream
The wonder shares the miraculous reality~” Erina sang a soft, slow rhythm song. It was all about her encounter with Elysia.
Everyone could feel it was about a mysterious destined encounter with a true friend. Even so, they wondered who could have so much emotional impact on the golden diva, Erina.
“Ely, she seems very emotional about you right now. What do you think?” Elena smiled faintly after hearing Erina’s song.
“Erina has a bright future ahead. We will see what she will become when we return to Earth again. At that time, she may not be the golden diva anymore, but the person she wants to be.” Elysia took out a bouquet of flowers after Erina finished singing the song. She knew it was meant for her.
Elysia gently pushed the bouquet of beautiful fragrant flowers forward. She used a little magic to make it fly through the glass and toward Erina.
All attention was paid to Erina. Only certain people noticed the floating flower bouquet.
“Eh?” Erina had just finished singing her song for Elysia. Still, a bouquet of sparkling golden flowers suddenly fell from above and landed in her arms.
She then noticed Elysia waving to her. Therefore, she responded with an elegant hand wave and a tender smile before she left the stage.
The audience was still mesmerized by Erina’s last song until they failed to notice that Erina had left the stage and the theater hall had returned to the light. The event then continued as scheduled.
Some people demanded Erina perform another song, but they were forced to calm down due to several gentle reminders.
