It was the day of the show. Even though it was early, the kids wanted to hurry to the venue.
I’d never seen so many of Brunhild’s citizens in the same place before... I didn’t even know Brunhild HAD this many people. Upon seeing all of them, I was gladder than ever that we had our [Mirage] badges. We would’ve totally stood out.
We followed the rules and lined up, handing in our tickets and entering when our turn came up.
“Oh yeah, kids. Make sure to turn your phones off. It’d be bad if they rang during the show.”
“Okaaay!” Elna, Linne, and Allis all cheerily answered.
Everyone turned off their phones. I briefly considered just setting mine to vibrate, but the buzzing would probably be annoying if it was a quiet moment of the show. Plus, the screen would definitely glow in the dark.
Everyone was utterly amazed at how big the tent was on the inside. I wasn’t so surprised, since I’d come here beforehand to check the place out with my sisters.
All the Brunhild gods were here to watch the show as well, with the exception of Sousuke. He was going to be part of the performance itself, after all.
“Our seats are over there.” Linze checked our tickets, then gestured to an empty area in the stalls. The reserved seats were in a special raised seating area directly in front of the stage.
It was a comfy-looking area with several large seats. There was even a handrail surrounding the raised section and a countertop in front of the chairs. The flooring in that section looked to be lined with a carpet soft enough that you could probably walk on it barefoot.
Wow, this seems pretty fancy... I think this spot might actually be the best in the place, even.
“Father! Father! Sit here!” Arcia yelled over to me, grinning wide and patting the seat next to her.
Before I could even move, however, Lu sat her butt right down on it.
“Wh—? Mother?! No fair!”
“You can sit next to me, Touya. I don’t mind being a partition.”
“Whaaat?! A partition?!” the girl yelled as she started to fuss with her mother. Though to any bystanders, it probably looked more like two sisters bickering.
I glanced over and saw Ende and his wives playing rock, paper, scissors...presumably for the right to sit next to Allis. Clearly, nobody had it easy this evening.
In the end, I decided to sit between Lu and Arcia, since I didn’t want them snapping at each other all night. We all sat down and watched as the other seats filled up, crowding the venue.
Holy cow... I really didn’t think it’d be so busy.
“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of Brunhild! It is my profound pleasure to welcome you all to the Completto Troupe’s performance in Brunhild!” a fancy-looking, bearded man in a top hat said, using some kind of voice amplification magic to announce the beginning of the show.
The crowd erupted into applause.
Is he their leader or something? Hm...
The show was about to begin... I wondered what they had in store for us.
