After the invited guests have arrived at the party, finally our birthday party officially begins.
Me and Kaguya then stood up and walked towards the stage to do the opening speech.
"Good night everyone and welcome to the Shinomiya manor, my name is Shinomiya Kaguya the first daughter of the Shinomiya family. I wish to thank you all for coming to our birthday party tonight to celebrate our 10th anniversary, I hope you'll all have a good day" she said while doing a nice bow, then walks away before returning with a violin.
"Good night ladies and gentlemen, my name is Shinomiya Riyuo the first son and second child of the Shinomiya family. As my sister said, we thank you peoples for taking your precious time to come to our birthday party. As a thank you, we will entertain you with our original music and hope you enjoy it." I said while bowing elegantly and walking towards the grand piano on the stage.
I set the piano for a while and looked at Kaguya. After finishing the tuning we both nodded and immediately started playing.
BGM : V.K - Wings Of Piano
When I played the first few notes, the crowd was immediately amazed as they haven't heard it before.
My fingers flew over the keys like swallows darting in a pond of fish. Meanwhile Kaguya also plays her violin perfectly following the piano melody. They were lost in the melody as they were immersed.
After the song ended Kaguya bowed towards the audience before walking down the stage while I stay on the piano chair and prepare to play the second song.
Lauren Aquilina - You can be king again
"You're alone, you're on your own, so what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?"
The tone starts from a gentle tone like a flowing river which makes the audience relax.
"Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws"
The lyrics are quite touching, telling someone who is in despair.
"You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again"
Hearing those lyrics, a little blonde haired girl closed her eyes and started reminiscing about the bitterness her father caused.
"You don't get what all this is about
You're too wrapped up in your self doubt
You've got that young blood, set it free
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king"
Tears started to fall from the girl reminding her of her despair in the past. But the song taught her to get back up and take control of her life again.
"There's method in my madness
There's no logic in your sadness
You don't gain a single thing from misery
Take it from me
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again"
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
"Very awesome! For a child like this to compose such a beautiful song is..."
"I'm not that fond of English songs but this is just great!"
"A job well done. This performance level is something that even adults would envy. "
I was greeted by admiration by the people. I stood up from the piano bench and immediately bowed right after. I went towards Kaguya and we went towards the mother who was still talking to the muscular old man.
"Mother" "Okaa-Sama" Me and Kaguya called her together.
"Oh, come here dear. Senzaemon-dono, they are my beloved children Kaguya and Riyuo"
"Hoho, they're both handsome and pretty. These two children are my grandchildren, the blonde one is Nakiri Erina and the white one is Nakiri Alice"
"Nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you" They both said.
'Ah, so they're from the cooking anime no wonder this guy looks familiar' my thought.
"That was a great song. By the way, are you interested in cooking?"
"Not really" Kaguya said.
"I'm not bad at cooking but I just think of it as a hobby" I said.
"Is that so? What a pity"
Then we talked for a while until finally our birthday party was over.
