Chapter.36 Hibiren Flowers and Concert

However, Rurin’s reaction after hearing the performance was mysterious.

“Oh oh?”

“how is it?”

Instead of answering, he glared at Legana.

To easily explain that glare, it was the look of a majestic general preparing for the final battle after setting up a military base, and the look of caution when looking at a formidable enemy.

“I don’t know!”

Moreover, the words spoken were far from positive. After dismissing the court lady who was demonstrating, I sat down next to Rurin. Then, he grabbed Rurin, who still had a fighting look in his eyes, and explained the basic knowledge about the keyboard.

“look. “This is it.”

My fingers point to the keys in order.

“This is Les. Like this… .”

But Lurin just tilts her head.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

And then he hit the keyboard. A loud sound rings out from the keyboard.

He had an angry expression on his face, as if he was going to explode everything, whether it was Legana or something else.

But Legana was safe.

Rurin takes a long deep breath and glances at me. And then he just shook his head wildly.

Then, like the main character in Munch’s famous artwork, The Scream, he held his face with both hands and opened his mouth.

“Ugh, it’s annoying, but… . It’s annoying, but… ! So is this a guy called Tao?”

“Huh? that’s right.”

Contrary to his facial expressions and actions, he suppresses his destructive instincts and asks questions about the teachings.

Honestly, it was an amazing move.

“Well, it was only possible to get a haircut after observing it several times. And I still made a mistake. Your head… “Phew, fuuuuut.”

Then, as if he remembered the ponytail he had put on the back of his head, he held his stomach and started laughing.

Anger wells up. It reminds me of the painstaking efforts to cover up that defect.

I looked at Rurin and told her, with all the pain on my face.

“You want to get scolded by our Lulin?”

When I pull Lurin’s ear, she frowns and grumbles.

The confident action of throwing up one’s hand and telling people to stop because it hurts.

“anyway! Anything is possible if you observe a little more. Don’t worry girl! The victory is mine. Hi-Hi.”

When I took my hand away from my ear, he declared and turned his face back to the keyboard.

When you press the keys with your fingertips, sound flows out. It’s cute if you repeat that and each time you press a key, you startle slightly as if something is surprising.

“Okay, if you listen to the performance again after learning the basics, you will learn quickly since you are a species that can be called a genius.”

Of course, I cannot teach you the basic things about Legana. Because all I know is do-re-mi-fa-sol-assi-do.

“Hehehe.”

Leaving Lurin to give strange answers, I went outside for a moment and asked her to call the court lady again.

After that, we came back and were sitting side by side playing Doremi Fasolasi with Rurin, when the court lady came into the palace.

So baton touch.

In order to receive proper lessons, I gave up my seat to the court lady.

According to the emperor’s order, the court lady had heard that we were distant royal family members, so she seemed to think nothing of Lurin’s introverted tone, and fortunately, the lesson went smoothly.

Above all, Rurin is surprisingly obedient.

When it comes to taking lessons.

Surprisingly, the obedient lesson lasted for several hours. It exploded about 3 hours later.

“Now that’s enough! I learned everything! Now you go. Not required. “It would kill me just to be next to me, but you only looked at me for a moment!”

There is no way to know if it really happened, but the court lady hurriedly got up from her seat following the order of a person she thought was a member of the royal family.

Of course, I couldn’t completely hide the bewildered expression on my face.

“sorry. My personality is so… .”

“Oh no. “The girl will leave now.”

He apologized to the innocent court lady, but she remained indifferent. After sending the court lady away, I returned to Rurin.

“Gororolong.”

Then why?

Lulin lowered the keyboard lid and was sleeping face down on it. It took about 1 minute to send the court lady out and return.

It’s surprising that you can fall asleep in the meantime.

What’s unusual is that while he is making a unique breathing sound only when he is asleep, he is falling asleep with his arms wrapped around Legana in a tight hug.

Lurin stepped up for me.

That action is thrillingly heartbreaking.

Of course, no matter how much of a dragon you are, I honestly don’t know if you will be able to win in a short time by learning from now on.

Because this isn’t something magical.

But it doesn’t matter.

Since I said I would participate in the human competition first, I just want to watch.

The Hibiren flower is important, but it is not as important as Rurin. And even if Rurin doesn’t win, the Hibiren flower can be obtained by paying a fair price to the winner.

Since the emperor has already put up a prize, there is nothing he can do about it, but if money or any other conditions are feasible for the winner, he will grant it and take the hibiren flower.

Of course, if you really want the hibiren flower itself more than anything else, you have no choice but to give it up completely.

In that case, going to look for another hibiren flower was something I had already decided in my mind from the moment I met the emperor.

While thinking that, I suddenly stroked Lurin’s head as she fell asleep.

Soft hair.

And Rurin’s face lying on her side.

And for some reason, the lips seem to have become more bewitching these days.

“Lurin. wake up? “I should go to bed and sleep.”

But Lurin doesn’t react.

This is what I always do in times like this. I carefully held Lurin’s body in a princess hug. And then moved to bed.

The bed was just a stone’s throw away, so I was going to lie down and sleep. Why did I fall asleep on the keyboard in an instant?

I laid Lulin on the bed. Lulin’s arms grab me.

Is this guy not sleeping?

The eyes are still closed.

For some reason, I feel like that. I moved closer to Lurin’s lips, which had been on my mind ever since.

Even more so when I think of today’s dear Lurin.

But right then.

A strange thing happened.

Lurin suddenly opened her eyes and covered her lips with both hands.

“uh?”

I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know it, so the words escaped, and Lurin slowly removed her hand covering her mouth, turned her head, and started pretending to sleep again.

what?

Am I rejected now?

You covered your mouth without saying anything and turned your head away?

Usually, when Rurin craves a kiss and I’m in that mood, we often end up kissing naturally.

If there was one thing that was certain in all of those cases, it was that Lulin never rejected me. Rather, come on! I used to shout.

“Lurin?”

I called, but there was no answer. Even though I just confirmed clearly that I wasn’t sleeping.

What is the reason for acting like such an obvious person?

I approached again.

Lying on the bed, right up to Rurin’s face. Then he says no and turns his head.

I’ve clearly cleaned my lips now.

Just pretend to sleep again. I tried to understand the situation for a moment, but I couldn’t.

Is something off?

There was absolutely nothing worth getting upset about. I don’t understand Lurin’s actions.

Everything remained the same except the refusal to kiss. Lurin is the same as always.

I wanted to do something so I laid down. Lurin’s breathing is as regular as always when she turns her head.

I continued to look at Lurin with a strange feeling.

After a while, Rurin seemed to have really fallen asleep and quietly put her head back into my arms.

What is this strange whim?

It is already late at night.

Time for me to close my eyes too.

It was a little absurd, but it seemed like he was planning something, so I got up and checked the identity of his whim, and then I made up my mind and closed my eyes.

***

Time passed like that and the next morning.

When I opened my eyes, the sun had already reached noon. I had a very hard time sleeping. I feel like it was almost dawn when I fell asleep.

I got up, scratching my dazed head.

Then Lulin, who was in my arms, also stood up as if being pulled. She was hanging on my neck and shoulders as if she was on her back.

“Woke up?”

“Hehe, it’s strange that you woke up the same way as me. “They say couples look alike, and it’s true!”

“They say the couple looks alike… ? I heard that from someone else. No, but who is part of it?”

Lulin grabbed my back, slid down, landed on the floor, and lifted himself up.

“There is such a thing! Hunya. “But I’m still sleepy.”

“I know. Well, it’s past 1 o’clock, so it’s time to wake up, but that doesn’t mean you’ll wake up obediently, so it’s interesting.”

“that.”

Hearing what I said, Lulin slowly pointed his finger and pointed at Legana.

“that? “Legana?”

He nodded to the question and walked towards Legana.

And kwaaaang! I hit the keyboard. A magnificent sound resonates in the room.

I don’t know why you have to press multiple keys at the same time.

Anyway, Lurin started playing again.

It’s still a bit awkward, but it’s different from yesterday when I didn’t know anything at all.

A dragon is a dragon, and the dragon that appears in the game is a page from the legend that proves that it can excel at anything in the human world.

If we were to express it in terms of human growth, would we say that yesterday it was a fetus that was just born, but now it is now at the level of walking on two feet?

***

The consultation between the emperor and the great nobles was successful, and a few days after the completely revamped concert contents were announced to the world.

The preliminary round of the concert was held.

A magnificent building located in front of the capital’s imperial palace where Legana is installed. This is Legana’s concert hall and the place where the emperor listens to the performance and selects the winner in the finals.

Of course, the preliminary round is also held here.

This large concert hall was equipped with several halls equipped with leganas, in addition to the central hall.

Today, preliminary rounds were being held simultaneously in several different halls to select finalists who could advance to the glorious central hall.

Of course, the participants are all nobles, but the number of nobles alone is significant when put together like this.

The Duke of Delian was the head of the jury for Hall 2.

He was sitting at the head of the second hall, and to his right was his niece, Loriana Delian, whom the duke trusted completely.

And on the left was Count Michel, the duke’s right hand man.

“Uncle. There is nothing to worry about. “I don’t know how you came up with such skills, which are all there anyway.”

“There was something I wanted to check.”

Duke Delian answered his nephew’s question indifferently and then crossed his arms. The boring preliminaries continued and the situation became more boring as it went on. The duke suppressed a yawn and spoke to his henchman.

“If someone with great talent comes forward, let us know.”

“Are you speaking among these?”

“Isn’t it the final election that the emperor is involved in? “Anything can happen in the preliminaries.”

Loriana tilted her head at those words.

“How can I be defeated by trivial things? That won’t happen. “Uncle.”

Loriana said this while pushing back her blonde hair, and Duke Delian simply nodded.

Well, I think that’s true.

“Well, don’t you say that your skills were such that the king of a neighboring country was moved to tears?”

“I’m embarrassed.”

Loriana nodded calmly. A light smile appears on the face.

That smile was full of pride in Legana.

In front of the great nobles who were proud of their birth, the judging of the second hole continued, and this time a black-haired woman walked in.

That gait was so confident.
