"Faster, mm! Even faster, I can't let Darling wait too long."
Miku quickly used Spirit Power to repair the broken capillaries, while wiping on various cosmetics. Although she was naturally beautiful, if a little light makeup could enhance her charm even further, many women would surely be willing.
Miku, slightly made up, looked at her still charming reflection in the mirror, then confidently walked to her music room. The moment she opened the door, a series of beautiful piano melodies entered Miku's ears. Miku was instantly captivated; it was her first time hearing such music. Her beloved Darling was indeed the best composer in the world.
Miku's intrusion did not interrupt Kuesumi's solo. She was currently in a state of self-forgetfulness. To convey the emotion in the music, the composer must first move themselves. If even they cannot be moved, then the piece is a failure, or rather, it is very unsuitable for them. In that case, one should not force a piece that does not harmonize with them, lest they end up harming themselves and others. As the saying goes: "Others sing for money, you sing for your life."
After playing the last note, Kuesumi awoke from the integration with the piece. Her condition seemed excellent, and the harmonization with this piece was very smooth. She could perform it.
"Darling, this piece is wonderful. I've never heard it before. Did you compose it yourself?"
Miku drifted ashore from the ocean of music, her face still showing the joy of enjoyment. She asked Kuesumi curiously.
"No, this piece was not composed by me. The master named 'Fourteen,' after composing this piece, was 'eaten' by her 'brother.'"
Kuesumi, with her back to Miku, spoke words that left Miku bewildered.
"'Eaten'? How was she eaten? Why was she eaten?"
Although she had a belly full of questions, Miku, seeing that Kuesumi had no interest in continuing, still obediently closed her mouth. After all, their current task was not to discuss 'the master.'
"This is...? That piece?"
Miku hadn't yet recovered from her inner complaints when Kuesumi directly handed her a piece of music and lyrics. Seeing the content, Miku couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, can you sing it?"
Kuesumi turned to face Miku directly, asking seriously.
"Of course! Who am I? The'Spirit of Music,' that's what they call me, Izayoi Miku!"
Miku confidently puffed out her chest. Although they were a size smaller than Kuesumi's, they could still fit Kurumi's head. Miku scanned the music twice and declared herself ready to begin.
"Alright! Then let's start."
Looking at the confident Miku, Kuesumi stopped wasting words, placing her hands on the keys and moving them like butterflies.
Miku didn't know that this song wasn't from this world. Although it was just a lullaby, it played a crucial role in another world called "D.Gray-man." It was not only the key to operating Noah's Ark but also an important tool for revealing the various entanglements between the Millennium Earl and the Fourteenth Noah in that world.
"And so the boy fell asleep."
"[so shi te bo u ya wa ne mu ri ni tsu i ta]"
"The flame in the gasping ashes, one by one."
"[i ki zu ku hai no na ka no ho noo hi to tsu hu ta tsu to]"
"Floating bubbles, a beloved profile."
"[u ka bu hu ku ra mi i to shi i yo ko ka o]"
"Thousands of dreams falling to the earth..."
Thousands of dreams fall to the earth, dreams… [dai chi ni ta ru ru i ku sen no yu me yu me]
In the night where silver eyes sway [gin no hi to mi no yu ra gu yo ru ni]
You, so brilliant, were born into the world [u ma re o chi ta ka ga ya ku o ma e]"
Kuesumi was surprised that she could express half of Izayoi Miku's emotions the first time she sang her song, which further confirmed Miku's talent for singing. Although surprised, her hands didn't stop; she continued to clear her mind and merge with the song seamlessly.
"Even if countless years turn countless prayers to dust [i ku o ku no to shi tsu ki ga i ku tsu i no ri wo tsu chi he ka e shi te mo]
I will continue to pray [wa ta shi wa i no ri tsu tsu ke ru]
Please, leave a kiss on this child's loving hands [dou ka ko no ko ni a i wo tsu na i da te ni ki su wo]"
After playing the last note, Kuesumi nodded slightly in satisfaction. This was her second time performing with Miku, and it was the most perfect. So, Kuesumi nodded contentedly at the slightly panting Miku. Miku probably hadn't used her Spirit power while singing for the first time in two years, fearing that using it would defile the purity of the song.
"How… how was it, Darling? Did I meet your requirements?"
Miku, still panting, excitedly asked Kuesumi, who was sitting at the piano. It wasn't just because of Kuesumi's temptation—no, it really wasn't because of temptation. It was more because Izayoi Miku loved music, she loved music the most, and even if it cost her life, she wanted to sing her favorite songs for the people she cared about.
"Now, are you still afraid of your original voice?"
Ignoring Miku's excited state, Kuesumi's light remark brought Miku back to reality, but it was much better than her cold expression just now.
"Darling, if, and I mean if, I were captured by bad people, and those bad people were very powerful, would you come to save me?"
"What foolishness are you talking about?"
Miku, full of anticipation, was suddenly choked by Kuesumi's words.
"Of course, I would go, silly."
Looking at Miku's stiff face, Kuesumi smiled slightly and said to her.
"Thank you for your promise, Darling. I feel much better now."
Miku's face showed a relieved expression. After so many years, her knot of anxiety had still been defeated by the person in front of her. A complete defeat! The other party had found her weakness and struck her with a powerful blow, leaving her completely defenseless.
"Can you go on a date with me this afternoon?"
As if defeated by herself, Miku didn't make an excessive request, and Kuesumi readily accepted. It was just shopping, right? She had been worried Miku would try some tricks, but if that happened, Kuesumi would probably ignore her and run away.
"Darling, did you have fun?"
Returning home in the evening, Kuesumi looked at the four pairs of probing and inexplicable eyes, feeling like she might be in trouble.
