Episode 74

Before SuA and Sia’s performance, there were performances by other children besides the kindergarteners. However, as is usually the case with children’s performances, they were cute, but I didn’t watch them for a long time.

Do you just look at it briefly because it’s cute?

But… … Sua’s performance was a little different.

Boom! Boom!

First of all, I chose a song with a strong beat.

“Oh. Sangunbo?”

“Huh? What song is that?”

“I don’t know the exact original song, but there was a program where street dancers would come out and compete in a dance competition. It was a song that came out as a challenge competition. I remember it because the title was unique.

I heard it was a song by a male idol… … .”

Lee Sun-ah explained it to me from the side. But honestly, I still didn’t understand it even after listening.

Well, it must be famous.

By the way, it’s a male idol song and not a female idol song… … It’s a little strange, isn’t it?

Regardless, the upbeat beat continued to flow.

And then Sua and Sia started dancing to the beat.

thud!

Sua took her first heavy step towards the stage.

And then Sia suddenly jumped up.

“Oh~!”

Just the momentum of it made the people watching the stage cheer.

And everyone responded with interest to the performances that followed.

Since the atmosphere was already somewhat dull, the powerful appearance of the two was perfect for refreshing the audience’s spirit.

Would you say that this is a success?

furthermore.

‘You worked harder than I thought.’

It was clearly shown how much practice was required to get to that point.

Even if you don’t know much about dancing, you can tell right away that she’s good at it.

I don’t know why, but it feels special?

And I wasn’t the only one who was moved by that sight.

“Wow! Baek Soo Ah is good!”

Baek Su-ho cheered, looking like a high school student for the first time in a long while.

The way he cheers while even stealing the placard I made makes me wonder if they are siblings even though they usually bicker.

Maybe Su-ah will go and do that during Su-ho’s game too.

They were a really nice pair of siblings.

At that time, I was so happy to see the performance and Suho cheering me on!

Woof! Woof!

“Huh? What is it?”

“Don’t you think the speaker volume is a little low?”

“I know.”

The people who were excitedly watching SuA and Sia’s performance started to chatter.

It was because none other than the sound equipment suddenly started acting strange.

The equipment that was supposed to be making a loud, fast, thumping sound was suddenly making an unpleasant sound.

Because of this, the attention of the people who were enjoying the performance gradually began to disperse.

Sua and Sia were still dancing hard on stage.

Perhaps he doesn’t fully understand the situation.

‘What on earth is going on?’

It felt like it was a ruin for a good show.

Everything was going well so far, so why is it like this?

If this continues, the show will be ruined.

Although it is a small school festival, it is only a stage for amateurs.

But for those two, no big stage was more important than that.

He frowned and turned his gaze behind him.

Looking around the stage, I see staff moving busily.

‘That person is… … .’

They appeared to be the person with the gloomy aura I had seen earlier and his colleagues.

“Mr. Oh Jeong-hwan, what did you touch!?”

“No, I didn’t touch anything in particular.”

“Ha! But why all of a sudden… … Okay. What should I do with this?”

“Since it’s going to end soon anyway, wouldn’t it be okay if the host buys some time and things go back to normal?”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“Well… … .”

I can’t hear the conversation, but it seems like a similar situation to before.

A man with a gloomy aura appears to be saying something to another colleague.

Just by looking at it, I could tell that something was wrong.

I want to go and say something right now, but… … .

‘You can’t leave your seat now.’

The atmosphere was already bad, so there was no need to move around unnecessarily.

Because if it looks like people are leaving, mob mentality can kick in.

Moreover, Su-ah and Sia’s eyes were wavering as if they had only just begun to understand the situation.

Besides, it can be solved right here, right now.

‘tuning!’

I just happened to receive SsukSsuk’s blessing today. So, if I have aura here, I should be able to use my abilities.

Of course, the aura was overflowing.

I had the tune in my head right away without any delay.

Sarah~!

Naturally, the auras gathered together. And… … they moved as I thought.

Knock knock knock!

Sua’s steps are accompanied by a strong, majestic beat that matches her.

There is an elegant and secret beat to Sia’s steps.

“uh?”

“what?”

The reactions of those who heard that sound changed again.

From a slightly distracted appearance until just now, he now seems focused on the stage.

I don’t know what changed or how, but I felt like the atmosphere of the performance had changed.

And it seemed like it wasn’t just the onlookers who noticed.

Sua and Sia, who were barely able to dance to the dull sound, also seemed to be affected by the tuning that Aura was displaying.

Now he has become one with the song and is literally starting to tear up the stage.

The two of them completely dominated the stage.

“Wow!!”

It felt like 4 minutes had become 1 minute.

He proved that he didn’t just say he wanted to be an idol.

I think the song title was Sangunbo? When the beat was properly added through the tuning, a dance move that really fit the tune came out.

Sometimes I walk with strength, one step at a time,

Sometimes they walk stealthily, as if they don’t even make a sound.

Every time, the auras blend together and spread out in all directions.

The upper and lower bodies of the two move separately and splendidly as if they were separate.

And each of them was harmoniously beating the beat to create a rhythm.

The two people’s footsteps and gestures gradually amplify.

Add to that the rich expressions of Su-ah who has found her confidence again, and Sia’s chic expression… … .

“Those are kids?”

“Wow! It feels like I’m watching a real performance!”

Not only I, but everyone around me also agreed with Lee Sun-ah and Han Song-i’s comments.

Baek Su-ho also continued to cheer with excitement like before.

and.

Kuuung!!

The performance ended with the last footsteps of Suah and Sia.

And then there was a moment of silence, and then a different cheer than before erupted.

“Wow!!”

“This is the best performance of the festival!”

The success of the performance could be felt not only from the cheers of the people, but also from the expressions on SuA and Sia’s faces.

Of course, this wasn’t a stage with a huge audience, so there wasn’t a huge reaction that felt like the surroundings were going to explode.

It was just a cheer from the people gathered as if they had come to a small town feast.

But that alone made the guys look like all the effort they put into the performance had been rewarded.

“What kind of kids are so good at using the stage?”

“That’s right. I thought it was an idol performance.”

Suah and Sia went down, but the people’s chattering continued. As I listened, I felt proud for no reason.

The host who came up on stage also seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment and was unable to say anything at first.

“Wow, what did I just see? Did a famous idol come and go? Was there a group called Cheonho Elementary School? Wow… … This was really a hit, wasn’t it?”

Even though he came to his senses late and started communicating with people, the aftertaste lingered. Instead of introducing the next performance, he talked about SuA and Sia’s stage.

“Oh, oh. And I heard there was a problem with the sound before the next stage. Oh! Is that okay? Let’s go right ahead.”

After spending time like that, I saw a sign sent from backstage and started the next stage.

The people next to the stage, who had been acting chaotically earlier, were no longer visible, perhaps because they had been cleared up.

I would have liked to go and say something, but… … .

‘If I were working at a company, I would have gone right away, but not now.

I was quite sharp at the time, so I couldn’t stand things like this.

Because of the nature of the work, if the schedule is disrupted even once, the damage caused by it is even greater, so it was even more so.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t have much free time.

“Thank goodness. Even though things got a little weird in the middle, you did a great job, right?”

“Yes, he did a good job.”

At Hansong’s words, the strength in his eyes relaxed, and he had just talked about the stage.

Suho was nowhere to be seen, as he seemed to have gone backstage where Suah was. It probably doesn’t matter since he’s a staff member.

“Is this really the content?”

“Get Sua’s consent before uploading it.”

“Of course. Who do you think is a thug? I’ll pay you an appearance fee.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at Lee Seon-ah’s words.

‘By the way, that’s possible if you use tuning.’

Actually, what I was hoping for while using it wasn’t something this dramatic.

I just wanted to make the combination of the two as one, like background music in a cafe… … .

Depending on how you use it, it can even resonate with the surroundings.

I found out something good.

Anyway, just when I thought I was finally starting to have some free time!

Sarararang!

‘What is this?’

This isn’t a cafe, so why is this aura flocking to me?

* * *

At first, there was only an aura flying from behind the stage.

A clear aura, probably belonging to Su-ah and Sia.

But after that, the aura started to come from other people around me little by little.

Although it was just a little bit, because there were so many people, it was a huge amount that had increased more than twice the aura that had been touched by tuning.

I didn’t expect this… … .

Sarararang~

The small auras flying in from all directions looked like snowflakes made of light.

What a truly enchanting sight.

And the auras that flew in like that circled around me and soon seeped into me one by one.

It felt similar to when I distributed bread and drinks to the village elders with Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah before.

Could it be that I influenced SuA and Sia’s stage through tuning?

‘There’s no other way to explain it.’

Is it possible to do it this way?

Well, if you think about it, Tiger Shelter’s ability is to transmit bright energy to people, so the current situation wasn’t strange.

Anyway, SuA and Sia decorated the stage with their rhythm and many people enjoyed it.

Still, I’m a little confused.

It was also my first time receiving this many auras.

“Why are you like that?”

“Huh? Oh, no. I think the festival is more fun than I thought.”

“That’s right! I almost regretted not coming here. Thanks to you, I got to visit a place like this and it’s so great.”

An aura flowed out from Hansong and seeped into me.

I don’t know whether to say it’s fortunate or regrettable.

Talent is not absorbed.

It seemed similar to what happened in the village.

I guess that’s because it didn’t completely change the dull aura to something more focused.

Still, this amount of aura was really a lot.

If I sow it in my garden, the crops will like it, right?

“Okay! Then, let’s watch the congratulatory stage of our invited singer and start the award ceremony!”

“Wow!”

Now that the guest performances are over, the invited singer has come up. Naturally, it was a trot singer for a festival like this.

“Oh. That guy is the guy from Man On Trot.”

“Man on Trot?”

“There is a program that created the trot boom these days.”

“How come you know all that?”

“Don’t you watch TV, oppa? My dad watches that all the time.”

“ah…….”

Lee Sun-ah’s words made me realize that I’ve been living a life completely separate from TV these days.

Of course, I hadn’t seen it much before…

By the way, while we’re on the subject, where is the village chief? He said he was coming.

“Then, let us begin the award ceremony. The award ceremony will be attended by the village chief of Cheonho-ri, Lee Cheon-yong, and… … .”

huh?

After the congratulatory performance, the host came up to announce the award recipients, and the village chief was there.

No, did you mean that it would come like that?

Starting with our village chief, other village chiefs from the surrounding villages came up onto the stage, and then someone who looked like a mayor came up.

They greeted and introduced themselves leisurely and then went straight into the awards ceremony.

and…….

“The most popular award goes to the two tigers of Cheonho Elementary School! Baek Soo Ah and Jeong Sia!”

It wasn’t a very big festival, so there weren’t any big prizes or anything like that, but Su-ah and Sia were still rewarded for their hard work.

Fortunately, there were some twists and turns along the way… … .

“thank you!”

Everyone applauded and cheered as Sua came up on stage and greeted everyone cheerfully.

Of course me too.

Thanks to you, I have some really good memories.

And at the same time, a unique experience.

* * *

After celebrating together and watching all the events that followed, I returned feeling good.

‘Huh? That guy?’

My steps stopped in their tracks as I spotted someone who caught my eye.
