Chapter 27
"Pour your feelings into the song as you slowly press the key," I explained to Theo.
"Ugh...It is hard. How do you even pour your feelings into the song?" Theo asked curiously.
"Hmm, for me its always about what I earnestly wanted to convey or special memories. How about this, do you have someone you like, Theo?" I looked at Theo and asked after thinking for a bit.
"I-I do.." Theo said embarrassedly.
"Hee..." I smirked at him.
"M-mou... Teacher! D-does that have a connection with playing the piano?" He questioned me curiously.
"It does. Let me tell you. You can make someone fall in love or interested in you with a song that contained your feelings or memories." I quietly told him to not make Alice and Oscar heard it.
"I-is that true?"
"It is. Want to see it?" I asked mischievously.
"I do!" he answered instantly with an excited expression.
"Well sit there beside Hime-chan. Hime-chan, I will play a song to shows how to do it." I told Theo to sit and said to Alice with a loud voice.
"Sure! I am looking forward to hearing a beautiful piece," Alice said joyfully.
"Your wish shall be granted, Hime-chan. Hope this reaches you." I said with a smirk.
Next, I positioned myself in front of the piano. The song that I'm going to perform is a beautiful song from Liszt, Liebestraum No.3. I take a deep breath and exhale it slowly as I am readying my fingers. I glanced at Alice who also looking at me and moving my mouth without sound to say 'Be prepared.'
Note after note pressed. Lovely sounds of the song coming out from the piano can be heard in the room. The melodic sounds even reach the hallway and some maid started to stop their way to hear the song.
But the most affected one is most likely Alice who seems to understand what I wanted to convey. To put it simply, I flirted heavily with her which for some reason seems very effective.
"Uwoo!! It is so beautiful, Teacher!" Theo runs to my side and said passionately with stars in his eyes.
"Bravo! As expected of you, Mr.Kitahara." Oscar who hide his expression from the start even praised me excitedly. Then I look meaningfully at Alice who didn't say anything but just looking down with a rosy cheek.
"Well, how is it, Hime-chan?" I asked with a smirk.
"I-It's B-beautiful Izumi..." She shyly praised with her face looking away.
"Hehe... Look at that, Theo." I grinned and told Theo to look at Alice.
"Teacher, you are Awesome!" Theo also grinned with me and said.
After that Theo's training is running quite well. The training lasts until evening, Naturally, he still has not got a natural instinct to pour his feelings into the songs.
A Person who can do that in their first time is like 1/millions and most of them able to do that are heavily influenced by each of the circ.u.mstances that make them pour all of their feelings to the song.
Needless to say, a Pianist who can be able to do that as natural as breathing is most likely only one, which is me. Kousei's play also beautiful but he still needs that unique gift of him to concentrate fully.
In the evening Oscar and Theo who look sad need to get back. So they say their farewell and said, "I'll be looking forward to tomorrow's performance, Teacher!". Now there is only Alice and me in the room.
"Shall we walk on the shore, Hime-chan?" I asked her while giving my hand for her to hold.
"S-sure..." Alice agreed and held my hand embarrassedly. While I do know this is not her real body, it still feels real. As expected of The Princess who said is the peak of heaven magic system. Well, naturally I would cure her body after the performance, though.
We walked silently side by side enjoying each other presence. The wind gently breezes as we walked under the sunset.
"Hey, Hime-chan how about you help me buy some souvenir a day after the performance?" I asked her.
"I-it is a date?" Alice stutteringly asked.
"Hehe...I wonder?" I gently smiled at Alice whose cheek is reddened.
"S-sure then!" Alice answered shyly. Then we continue walking while we casually talked.
"It's already at this time, we should head back so you can rest for tomorrow's performance," Alice suggested.
"Yeah, let's head back then. Do you want me to take you home?" I asked.
"No it's fine, Sebastian will come in a min." She answered with a gentle smile. Not long after that, Sebastian came. He gets out of the car and opening the door for Alice. Incidentally, because we walked quite a distance and now we're near my hotel so I can just walk.
"See you tomorrow, Hime-chan." I gave her a charming smile.
"Mm, See you tomorrow Izumi!" She smilingly answered as she gently waves her hand from the car.
I just stand there looking at the running car while waving my hand. Then I head back to my room when the car is out of my sight.

The performance started in 30 minutes and right now I am preparing myself in the backstage. I will perform for 2 hours including rest time, and maybe some encore needed after that.
I also think the heretic god would appear sometime when I perform or maybe after. Because my intuition has been ringing for a while since morning.
After some time, finally, the time for me to perform has come. I slowly walked to the stage and bow graciously to the audience.
I sit comfortably in front of the piano then breathe in and exhale slowly preparing and stretching my fingers before positioning it on the keys. And the performance begins.
---
Song after song performed. All people who watched my performance have a different emotion show on their faces. From sad, happy, melancholic, crying, smiling, and many more. Even someone like Oscar who used to conceal his emotion can't escape from that.
The audiences aren't that many because this is a private show and most likely for Witenagamot only. Therefore I can see their face clearly from the stage. When I glanced at Alice who sits in the front, our eyes meet each other.
Looking at her gentle green eyes with her cheek reddened made me dazedly stare at her. Words aren't needed. She likely has the same thinking as me.
We just silently stare at each other like there is only two of us in the world. At that time, the other audiences shouting for an encore.
"Encore! Encore!"
Before I was able to answer their shout, the building started to shake and a thundering roar can be heard from our place.
"LUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Instantly I flicked my finger and place a barrier for every people in the room without them knowing. Naturally, they won't be able to trace my magic since the magic system that I used is different from them.
"Everybody Run! It's a heretic god!" Oscar hurriedly shouts and takes the unconscious Prince Theo with him. Then everybody started running hastily to search for a safe place.
"We should also run, Izumi!" Alice panickedly said and held my hand then take me to the outside where Sebastian was waiting for us with a car.
I run along with Alice and when we arrived at the outside, I saw a giant with one eye in its forehead.
"Wow, is he able to see properly with only one eye which always closed I wonder?" I said curiously.
"It's not the time to wonder, Izumi! Right now is very dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to you!" Alice desperately said with a frightened look on her face. She didn't mention something happens to herself. Naturally, I know it's because it is not her real body since her sickly body hard to even stand up from the bed right now.
I stared at the frightened-looking Alice with a smile. Then before I was able to say anything, The giant look at our direction which full of people running here and there, and slowly opening its eyes.
"NO! HE IS OPENING HIS EYES!" A random passerby shouted hysterically. Then Alice with a more scared expression look at the god and tears started to flow from her eyes. Then, She shouts with all her might.
"NOOO!! IZUMIIIIIIIIIII!" Alice desperately shouts as the giant opened its eyes completely and everything in the area started to wither and destroyed. At that moment the flame of the eternal sun came out of nowhere and obstructed our sight as it burns everything.
"I-Izumi...IZUMIII!!!!" Alice cries hysterically. Her legs weakened and she slumped down.
"E-EH...?" Suddenly Alice realized nothing happened to her Spirit body. The flame that obstructed our sight has gone after destroying our surroundings except for the land where we stand.
Alice looked at her left and right and found some people were unconscious and the rest look terrified but they are fine. Then Alice looked at my direction and saw me who looked back at her while standing leisurely.
"Hime-chan. You know, I am something of a magician myself." I said with a grin.
"Pour your feelings into the song as you slowly press the key," I explained to Theo.
"Ugh...It is hard. How do you even pour your feelings into the song?" Theo asked curiously.
