Chapter 713: Moonlight and Tsukuyomi Rehearsals
Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
7:30 PM, Tuesday, March 16th.
Theo finished the last bite of his dinner and leaned back in his chair, glancing across the table at Aurora, who was still eating. The faint sound of wind rustling through the trees outside could be heard through the slightly ajar windows, accompanied by the distant hum of city life below the manor. It had been a long day for both of them-Theo with his usual work, and Aurora wrapping up the last of the student council duties following the school festival. But the night had something special in store for them: a rehearsal in their private sound studio.
Aurora looked up from her plate, catching Theo's gaze. "Ready for tonight's session?" she asked, a small smile playing on her lips.
Theo nodded, his eyes reflecting the same excitement. "Absolutely. It's been a while since we rehearsed together."
Aurora finished her meal quickly, and the two siblings left the cleaned-up for Sylph.
After the two had left, within minutes, the kitchen was spotless, and the cleaning drone worked tirelessly to clean the table, wash the dishes, and sweep and mop the floor.
With an efficient butler like Sylph, the two of them didn't even need to worry about house affairs as the house was constantly found in a state of cleanliness.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Pedrarruna Manor, Sound Studio.
The door to the sound studio slid open with a soft hiss, revealing a space that was both modern and intimate. Acoustic panels lined the walls, and the ceiling lights cast a warm, dim glow over the state-of-the-art equipment. Microphones, instruments, and soundboards were meticulously arranged, reflecting the room's dual purpose as both a recording studio and a rehearsal space.
The studio had been designed with care, ensuring it was acoustically perfect, but also that it had a certain coziness that made it feel like an extension of their home rather than a professional workspace. The centerpiece of the room was a grand piano, its polished surface reflecting the soft light. Theo walked over to it and ran his fingers across the keys, letting a soft melody drift into the air.
Theo sat down across from her, nodding in agreement. "It is. But it's also going to be intense. The first live performance as Moonlight... I need to make sure everything is perfect."
"You always do," Aurora replied, her voice filled with quiet confidence. "And I'll be right there with you."
The two of them sat in comfortable silence for a while, the only sound the soft hum of the equipment as it powered down. The rehearsal had gone well, better than either of them had expected, and there was a sense of satisfaction in the air.
Finally, Aurora stood up, stretching her arms above her head. "I'm going to take a shower and then head to bed," she announced, stifling a yawn. "I'm exhausted."
Theo smiled as he watched her. "You've earned it," he said. "Let's continue rehearsing now that you are more free."
Aurora nodded, her expression softening. "Sure, I'd love to!" She said with a sweet smile.
"Goodnight, big brother."
"Goodnight, little sis."
She turned and left the studio, her footsteps echoing softly down the hallway as she made her way to her room. Theo remained behind for a few more minutes, tidying up the studio and making sure everything was in its place. As he did, he reflected on the night, on the music they had created together, and on the road ahead.
In just ten days, they would be in Catadrid, performing for a live audience for the first time. It was a daunting thought, but also an exhilarating one. And as he turned off the lights and closed the studio door behind him, Theo felt a sense of calm. He was ready, and so was
Aurora.
Together, they would make sure that Moonlight and Tsukuyomi shined brighter than ever
before.
