Chapter 8 - Art Of Ancient Peacemaking Part 1
Tyler decided to watch the musical presentation of Emperor Splero and Azurimon along with Takato and the others. They packed a few supplies in their knapsacks as Tyler explained why...
"Guys, you can pack your bags with even just little supplies. Splero and Azurimon were just performing their musicals for only a few hours but I swear, you will gonna love it." - Tyler said -
"How long they will perform downtown?" - Rika asked -
"2 hours, I presume?" - Tyler guesses out -
Henry packs up his water canteen to his knapsack...
"Ok, guys. We're ready to hit the road!" - Henry announced -
With that, they went outside. Tyler locked the doors and they're on route to the musical concert.
A few minutes later, they arrived the said convention center in Downtown. There were some more than 10,000 attendants to the musical event. The others can't go any further since there were so many people in the seats...
"Takato, I think I'm going to be a pancake in here." - Guilmon groaned, being sandwiched from those who were sitting beside him -
"Don't worry, Guilmon. You're going to fine in here...yet." - Takato reassured -
Since the stage is a little bit too far to been seen by Tyler and the others, he took out a pair of mini-binoculars...
"Hey, guys. I think the musical presentation's going to start now." - Tyler said -
"How did you know? It's already 5 PM, Tyler." - Rika asked -
"I could see Splero and Azurimon now." - Tyler replied -
The audience then silences as Emperor Splero and Azurimon appeared on-stage. Splero was still wearing his Imperial Uniform and Beret but now, he added a red cape on his back and some cloth stripes on his arms. Azurimon was in a transformed form similar to the appearance of Rika and she too was wearing the same Imperial Uniform, Beret, Cape and Arm Stripes. With a zither and a bamboo flute on their hands, they bow-saluted to the crowd as the audience cheered along. Takato, Henry and Rika were deafened by the cheering crowd...
"Man! I can't believe that they were famous enough in here!" - Takato said, covering his ears -
"If I were them, I would be proud of myself, Takato." - Henry added -
"You could say that again, Henry." - Rika added -
After the loud cheering, Splero and Azurimon sat down. First to play the musical is Splero. As he started to make music with his bamboo flute, the relaxing music filled the entire atmosphere of the convention center. The music was so soothe to the ears that some of the audience started to drift into a peaceful bliss or slumber. Others managed to record the musical performance. Renamon, Rika and Jeri was enjoying the music that he creates...
"So relaxing to my ears. I really loved it so much now." - Renamon said, peacefully -
"Yeah, you're right. I could feel my peace with his flute music." - Rika added -
"So soothing indeed." - Jeri added further, sighing in such relief -
The relaxing music also make other people sob in eternal-like peace. Guilmon and Terriermon were one of them...
"I think I need a handkerchief, guys. This music is my emotional enjoyment now." - Guilmon said, sobbing -
"Me too, Guilmon." - Terriermon added, sobbing as well -
Takato and Henry noticed them...
"Hey, guys. Why are you both sobbing?" - Takato asked -
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just our emotions soothing up." - Guilmon replied -
Terriermon nodded. Takato hands them his handkerchief so that they could wipe their tears. As Splero finally finishes his musical piece with his bamboo flute, the audiences applauded since they were being touched by his "sacred" musical performance. Then, Azurimon started to make music with her Chinese zither. The plucking of the strings created musical colors that soothes the audiences. Since they were so relaxed with their music, most of those who were watching continue on recording with others still cheering on the 2 musicians. After a good 3 minute musical performance, Azurimon finally finished. The applauding audiences continued on. Splero stood up and took a microphone to talk to the public in front of him...
"Ok, guys. I know you all were feeling peaceful with our music but there's more for everyone. We're going to take a break for a little while and we'll resume to our final musical afterwards." - The Emperor said -
With that statement, some of the audiences refreshed themselves up. Some went to restrooms while others take some meals or drinks. Tyler then faces the others...
"Ok, guys. Let's refresh ourselves up for their last musical performance later on." - Tyler reminded -
The others nodded and acknowledged on Tyler.
