My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 84

Drasha’s Festival (1)

“Welcome, Sir Heinrich!”

Heinrich smiled bitterly at the sight of Saint Liesta welcoming him with a smile round and round.

After training in the Brilliant Guardian Paladins, which took quite a long time, a new task was given to him, who was promoted from a lower rank to a higher rank paladin.

Its character was quite different from the previous missions…

‘I’m sure it’ll be the saint’s personal escort.’

This was, of course, the result of strong intervention of the will of superiors, including the saint.

Until now, the saint had not needed an escort as she stayed only in the Great Hall of Roselia in the Holy Land, but since the Immortal King was resurrected, she couldn’t stay as she is now.

“Of course, I didn’t make Sir Heinrich my personal escort just for that reason. Now I thought he needed more personal time than learning to work!”

Obviously, while the saint stayed only in the Great Hall, she did not need an escort, so the training time would be much longer than before.

“And after a certain amount of preparation, there is something the Lord has to do.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“No matter how much damage it takes, there is no way the Immortal King will remain quiet like this. They must be plotting something out of sight.”

Far from conspiring, he didn’t even exist in Auterica, but Heinrich simply nodded with a serious face.

“Now we have to prepare ourselves to fight it by all means. And there is one very important thing in the plan…”

The saint, who had been speaking calmly, took a deep breath and opened her mouth with a firm face.

“Getting the holy sword.”

“You mean the holy sword…?”

“Yes, in order to defeat the Immortal King, we need the help of the Holy Sword.”

She looked at Heinrich with her twinkling eyes and spoke again in a voice full of conviction.

“Sir Heinrich, you should prepare yourself for the ordeal to obtain the Holy Sword.”

swish— swish!

The arrow flew like a hawk past the branches and pierced the target sharply.

“The entity has attained enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire the skill 「Fairy Law」.」

At the same time, a system message that comes to mind.

Harris, who was sitting on the tree, sighed lightly and lowered the bow he was aiming at.

“That’s great. The human odor is now completely erased from the law. It is very difficult to break a habit that has been used for a long time, but it is amazing.”

The archery instructor, sitting on the branch of the next tree, watching him, clapped his hands slowly.

“Thanks to the instructor who taught me well. thank you.”

At his humility, the instructor smiled softly and encouraged him again.

In the warm friendship between the priests, the education of the day ended.

However, Harris, who was going back to the dormitory, could not achieve that goal…

“Harris! Let’s go practice!”

“Oh, Timer. I want to go back to the dormitory for a while and wash up. You must also bring a bow…”

“yes? Oh right. Harris had no water spirits! I will help you! Come on, let’s hurry up because we don’t have time!”

“Ah, ah…”

Timer, who was on fire in the midst of his passion, was taken away in the middle.

When he arrived at the practice area led by his hand, other female members had already arrived and were waiting.

“Everyone is here. So let’s start today’s practice, shall we?”

“… well.”

Two days left until the Drasha Festival.

While preparing for a performance with the same crew, Harris realized one thing for sure.

The fact that the elf race is more serious about ‘music’ than you think…

‘Is this really possible in just three days? Did you even tune it to the existing instruments?’

It was the fact that he had such an overwhelming talent.

In fact, as there was not much time given, I did not expect to reproduce the original song perfectly.

Although it is said that Harris can sing, there is no way that he will be able to imitate a song played on an instrument he has never heard of for the first time in such a short amount of time.

‘But it was possible.’

On this stage, I tried to be satisfied with being able to introduce a new genre.

Even if the team members help, I thought that the limit was to just match the beat with a simple instrument like he demonstrated…

“Whoa— this is enough to listen to.”

“Wow! It’s all thanks to Miss Shapiron! The most anticipated player of the Drasha Academy, the best diva of this generation. I’ve heard of that reputation, but I didn’t expect it to be this big!”

“…as expected…awesome.”

“Hey, if you praise something that is nothing, nothing will come out. Because it’s normal. Whoops—”

The corners of Shapiron’s lips twitched at the pouring baptism of praise as soon as the joint performance of putting their hands and feet together was over, and their pointed ears pricked upwards like a god.

‘But it’s really great.’

All of the members were great, but Shapiron’s performance in particular stood out.

She bowed down to Harris, who had been blinded for a while, borrowed a magic tool with recorded music, and then dug into it close to obsession.

It took only two days until they came up with the most efficient alternative to play by tearing apart and analyzing the characteristics and scales of the instrument.

She was getting more exhausted day by day to the point where she doubted whether she was sleeping, but her eyes were more dazzling than ever.

“It’s a pity that we couldn’t reproduce it perfectly. That sharp ‘ji-ing’ sound is so difficult… If there is an actual instrument, I would like to see it in person.”

That’s what she said, but the level of sound she suggested as an alternative was also very high.

With the help of spirits and natural forces, even with the help of magic, the sound of the instrument was tuned to create a similarly different and attractive sound.

It changed considerably from the original song through various processes, but the color was still there.

‘Something like a collaboration between Earth and another world civilization, do you like it?’

It was a pity that he was the only Earthling who could see this.

It makes me wonder what it would be like to reveal it to the earth right now.

‘Well, I guess it’s a little early now. But it would be fun to be able to do that later.’

After finding a similar instrument and tuning the notes, the first practice was over.

The result was, of course, successful.

“The entity has attained enlightenment through repeated training. Acquires the skill “Melodies of Harmony”.

so perfect.

And the effect of the newly learned skill was immediately confirmed in the next exercise.

“Wow… Harris, what’s happening all of a sudden?”

Clap clap—

“Wait, what did you just do? Suddenly, the natural power contained in the voice seemed to have been refined…? The effect is much stronger…”

Satisfied with the enthusiastic response of the crew, Harris smiled warmly.

“Ah, I realized something while singing.”

“Hey, what is that? How do you do that…”

Shapiron, who had asked in a hurry, paused for a moment.

Perhaps he recognized him by practicing together, but his attitude toward him has become more cautious recently, but he is embarrassed by the attitude he has had before.

“I can’t even explain it well. Because you just do what you feel. hahaha…”

I can’t say it’s because of “the melody of harmony”, so I muttered it in moderation.

Because I couldn’t teach you how to do it.

“·················ogue.”

How she accepted his answer, her face turned pale for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

He hated showing his weak side, so his expression remained arrogant as always, but his eyes were clearly more despondent than before.

‘Did you think you didn’t want to teach?’

Or maybe it sounded like they were being deceived by a difference in talent.

From what I’ve been watching over the past few days, she seems to have a fair bit of competition with her.

Maybe it’s a feeling of inferiority.

“Huh, did everyone know where I went wrong? Let’s focus a little more. Don’t sit still, get ready quickly!”

However, with strong narcissism, she seemed to have recovered quickly, so she immediately took the lead in practicing with more momentum than usual.

For a surprise release at the festival, their practice continued until late at night by thoroughly setting up a soundproofing screen.

And Harris’ “Melodies of Harmony” not only affects the song, but also showed a great synergy in communion with the spirit, which was the original purpose.

The fire spirit ‘Kali’ and the wind spirit ‘Pascal’, who were the lowest level spirits, have evolved to a lower level…

“Wow… me, that….”

“Shh! Be quiet!”

As the crew watched, Harris looked silently in front of him.

A small spirit that was constantly making waves around him was floating in front of him.

‘This is probably….’

It was the ‘spirit of sound’ of the phenomenal world, not the elemental world.

Although my experience as an elf was short, this was the first time I saw a non-Elemental spirit in this Elven Kingdom.

‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t go around a lot.’

I learned it from the spirit art education, but spirits that were not in the natural world were very rare.

It is an existence that can only be contracted if it has a talent separate from natural affinity, and that is what appeared in front of Harris now.

He constantly hovered in front of him, like a hounding cat, as if he wanted a contract.

‘It’s a spirit of sound… is it unexpected income?’

Naturally, not wanting to miss this opportunity, Harris carefully reached out to the spirit.

As soon as they understood each other’s will, the contract was made in an instant.

“From today on, you are ‘decibel’.”

The fourth spirit of Harris was the spirit of sound ‘Decibel’.

***

Shapiron was able to break free from prejudice by working in the same group as Harris.

No, in fact, I was just trying not to admit it by clenching my teeth.

Now I have no choice but to acknowledge him.

‘···The affinity and the skill to deal with the natural force are also the same. He said that he had only recently learned spirit art, and that there were already four spirits that he signed a contract with. But one of them is the spirit of sound?’

He could have guessed it by seeing the natural power and affinity that swayed around him when he sang, but his growth rate was phenomenal.

To the extent that I can understand why the World Tree is interested…

‘Oh, I can’t help it. If that’s enough, there’s nothing I can’t accept as my rival…’

After such a one-sided declaration of rivalry, she was implicitly hovering around Harris and observing him closely.

It goes without saying that the importance of information in dealing with the enemy is important.

murmur—

It was the same in the waiting room behind the stage in a square on the second day of the three-day festival.

However, there was one thing that particularly bothered her.

“Wow! It’s really close to the central square, isn’t it? Could this be enough to really get attention? The high elves may see it for themselves!”

“·················ogue.”

Even in this situation, whether he is mentally strong or not, Timer, who makes a fuss, and Quri, who quietly bites his nails, made a stark contrast.

‘You seem very unwell?’

Shapiron’s gaze, observing Harris, turned to Curie.

Until practice, I didn’t pay much attention to how perfect I was, but when the actual performance approached, I was shaking.

The moment when Shapiron had no choice but to go out to have a conversation with her…

As usual, with a languid expression on her face, Harris, who was leaning against the railing, approached her.

“Are you very nervous?”

“·················ogue.”

Currie took a deep breath and nodded her head quietly.

As if he had gone back to the day we first met, Harris only scratched his head and looked at her without saying a word.

“Well, how about the song we prepared? Is that good?”

She still didn’t answer, but Harris continued.

“When you practice, what thoughts do you have? Were you still trembling? Are you afraid I will make a mistake?”

This time, he shook his head quietly.

“When I practiced, I think I was just excited. fun and I can’t wait to see how other people will react to this song.”

A smile slowly spread across Harris’ face as he spoke in front of her.

“It’s exciting, the song I prepared this time. If you immerse yourself in music and have fun, don’t all other thoughts disappear before you know it?”

The strange echo in his voice caused a ripple in Qrie’s heart, which had hardened with tension.

“Don’t think about anything else, just think about the emotions you felt when you practiced. They just come down and have fun like they did back then.”

It seems that he doesn’t have much experience in exposing himself to anyone, so I couldn’t see it as a sophisticated encouragement…

Even though he was speaking normally, his voice, which sounded strangely like lyrics, had the power to focus on it without me knowing.

It immersed you in the surroundings as if you were immersed in a song in the middle of rehearsal, and, as Qrie said, it reminded you of the feelings you had during practice.

Her expression slowly loosened, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Recalling that time, his eyes twinkled and his cheeks reddened.

And Shapiron, who had been sucked into his voice without realizing it, came to his senses belatedly and looked at Harris again.

‘It’s surprising.’

He didn’t seem like a very talkative person, but his words were strangely persuasive.

Seeing him take care of his nervous crew, something seems different.

“Get ready for the next stage~!”

Of course, such other thoughts quickly disappeared.

Because it was their stage soon.
