Chapter 199

"Let's change the song selection a bit." In a place with some empty seats between the seven members of the new A group, Mikaze Lan looked at the six members of the Winter Group who came on stage and announced to her three teammates, "If the Winter Group doesn't use a suite, there's no need for us to use "Starlight Memory" - the atmosphere on the scene is not forced down, and it's not the kind of atmosphere that can explode at any time."

"So, which song should we change to?" Camus confirmed the new song selection with Mifuki Lan.

"Let's move 'FLY TO THE FUTURE' forward." Mei Fenglan said, finalizing the choice. "It should contrast with the current atmosphere. This song is the most suitable."

"Then I'll listen to you." Kurosaki Ranmaru nodded, then reached out and patted the back of Shoulingji who was sitting in front of him. "Lan said that the song for the first show will be "FLY TO THE FUTURE"."

"Okay, I understand." Shoulingji turned around and looked at Mikaze Lan and Camus who were sitting in the back, "As for the performance costumes, are they still the ones from the True Love Kingdom concert a few days ago?"

"That's it." Mei Fenglan replied.

"...They said to bring it forward." Kadoc poked the three people sitting in the front row, "What do you think?"

"Maybe they thought we would use our debut song or cover someone else's song." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, "I've heard that song. From my personal point of view, it's a song that can be called a trump card - a song that can firmly attract the audience's attention no matter what the atmosphere is at the scene."

"However, from a purely musical perspective, this is a song that is quite suitable to be strongly differentiated from our debut song."

"MANKAI! Oh MANKAI!"

When the last line of the lyrics fell on the stage, QUARTET☆NIGHT, who had left the waiting area early to prepare backstage, had already changed into a new set of clothes and stepped onto the stage to the beat of the accompaniment.

Then, just as Fujimaru Ritsuka said, the four people standing on the stage grabbed everyone's attention as soon as they opened their mouths - the song composed by the composer praised by Salieri as a genius is undoubtedly a powerful weapon; and the power of the four people themselves, and the harmony between the four people formed a perfect harmony just like the quartet "QUARTET" in the team name.

"...If they hadn't said it themselves, who would have believed that when this group was first put together, everyone thought it could disband at any time, and later the captain actually took the initiative to apply for disbandment!" Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at the four people shining on the stage and sighed in a low voice, "Who would have believed that they were like that..."

Love and Clouds and Words

Hold on to the car

Chest... Chest...

I'm crying

"Ritsuka, we should get ready." Kirshtalia finally began to exercise his authority as captain at this time, "Wait for the result of the first game, then it will be our turn."

"Um."

The members of the new Group A looked at each other, stood up, left their seats, and walked towards the audience seats.

"Semi-finals group 2, first match. The winner is——QUARTET☆NIGHT!"

"Now let's decide the performance order for the second show." Biguan Hehuan tossed the coin in her hand again, while announcing the rules to the new A group and the Winter group standing opposite each other on the stage, "On the front side, the new Winter group of Mankai Theater will go on stage first, and on the back side, the A group of AMP48 will go on stage first - on the back side, the A group of AMP48 will go on stage first."

"Please ask AMP48's A group to go backstage and prepare, and the Mankai Theater's new winter group and QUARTET☆NIGHT to go to the audience and take seats nearby."

"Just do it the same as usual." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and extended his hand to his companions, "Mashu, Kirshtalia-senpai, Ophelia-senpai, Mustard-senpai, Peperoncino-senpai, Kadoc-senpai - let's go. Let's tell this world the unknown story!"

The stage had already been set up to create the special effects of continuous rain and cloudy skies as they had requested. In this atmosphere, the seven members of the new Group A, led by Kirshtalia and followed by Fujimaru Ritsuka, stepped onto the stage one after another.

In this atmosphere, they sang a song about their past, which was composed by musicians of the Valhalla and several demon gods.

The lights on the stage gently illuminated the scattered members of the new A team in the order in which they sang the lyrics, starting with Kirshtalia and finally falling on Fujimaru Ritsuka standing in the center of the stage.

Today, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not wear her usual Magic Association uniform, nor did she wear the Halloween royal uniform that could be directly used as an idol performance costume. As she said when she commissioned the musicians, she needed a song that told the story of Chaldea itself; and in order to tell this story, she changed back into her original Chaldea uniform.

『Servant らはなぜ手に入れるため

Lost and chosen

Then, like the sun tearing through the haze, the lights on the stage, with Fujimaru Ritsuka as the center, illuminated the entire stage, and the rainy stage special effects also disappeared at this time.

The members of the new A group raised the microphone together, and combined their voices into one in a gentle atmosphere like telling a story.

"The flowers are swaying

The wind is blowing and the wilderness is here

The difference between the time and the difference is the difference between the times and the birth of the child.』

The musicians actually prepared two songs for them - one of the songs tells the story of Chaldea, but the more obvious subject is the countless heroic spirits rather than the savior Fujimaru Ritsuka; the other song is based on the story of another savior to represent everything Chaldea has experienced.

——We guessed that you wouldn't like works like Zammit, so one of the songs is about the stories of the Servants you come into contact with every day, and the other is based on the records of New Chaldea, borrowing the deeds of another savior to refer to the journeys you have experienced... As for which song to choose, it depends on your own ideas, Master.

After the musicians finished their work, none of them was willing to let other members except themselves go to report to Fujimaru Ritsuka - so, in the end, Lewis Carroll, the writer-hero spirit who was deeply troubled by the quarrel between the musicians, wrote a note summarizing their speeches and placed it on Fujimaru Ritsuka's bedside together with the sheet music of the two songs.

And now, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood in the center of the stage, together with her companions - telling the past of those Servants who established a connection with Chaldea.

——As long as it is art, its essence is to convey people's emotions and thoughts. Although skills are also important, the core is still the emotion itself. As long as you sing with your heart, even if your skills are not as good as the opponent, you will definitely be able to impress others and vote for you. Impressing others with your heart, isn't this what you are best at?

——Just like I talked to so many Servants in the past, I will use this song to talk to today’s audience.

The song ends, and the story ends - the people from the new Group A pass by the six people from the Winter Group who are about to take the stage on their way out of the stage.

As the song of the Winter Group began, a light blue light fell on the stage.

"The Moment of

ke ke ke

"The Eternal Servant"

"This atmosphere is good for them now." Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped and leaned against the wall, looking sideways at the performers on the stage. He called out to his companions to continue to move away from the stage, "Let me see how they perform in their comfort zone. In addition, there is another song I want to sing for everyone in Chaldea on this stage."

"Then we'll sing that song in the next round." Kirshtalia leaned against the wall opposite Fujimaru Ritsuka, her gray-blue eyes glowing with the flow of magic power. "According to the current situation, we may have to solve that problem before the finals - you can see it, right? That golden halo."

“…It’s starting to solidify.” Fujimaru Ritsuka withdrew his gaze from the stage and answered Kirshtalia, “Although there is no Crane ‘Clean’ here – but since the Holy Grail will appear on the stage, then even if something abnormal happens, they will not cause any disturbance since they have been assimilated by the anomaly…”

"Everyone here has indeed been assimilated by the peculiarity - because from the beginning, all of them knew about the Holy Grail Concert and believed it was normal from the bottom of their hearts. The Holy Grail that appeared on the stage would only be introduced to everyone as a prize for the winner..."

"Although it hasn't become a physical object, I have already seen its weakness." Kirshtalia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were no longer filled with magic power, but were no different from the eyes of a normal person. "I remember you said yesterday that you were not in a hurry to leave, and you wanted to talk to those two about something?"

"Yeah." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded to Kirshtalia.

"Then our safety is in your hands." Kirshtalia looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile, "Teacher and the others are the same as before, so don't worry."

After the last performance of the Winter Group ended, everyone from the New A Group returned to the stage.

"Semi-finals, Group 2, second match, winner - AMP48 Group A!"

After the results were announced, the Winter Team, which had already been declared defeated, left the stage and missed out on QUARTET☆NIGHT, which was about to take the stage for the third game.

"The third match——QUARTET☆NIGHT takes priority!"

As always, after the order of performance was determined with coins, New Group A and QUARTET☆NIGHT walked in different directions. The lights on the stage were turned off after everyone left, waiting for the next performer to take the stage.

In the darkness, the four members of QUARTET☆NIGHT stood back to back in the center of the stage.

As the song started, a beam of white light enveloped the four people from top to bottom, and as the four members of QUARTET☆NIGHT raised their hands upwards, the light slowly expanded, eventually illuminating the entire stage. During the singing, the four turned around to face each other, drew out their prop swords and crossed them together, announcing the start of the battle.

『The light is not the same and the ground is flat first.

"KIZUNA" song by 4 people

Ah…what is the world?

My dream

——Yes, even though it is an idol competition and even though it is an idol song, at this moment, it can indeed be called a battle song.
