CH 60.2

「For the convenience of being the only substitute available….Sawadi-sama, can you please sing?」

「Eh!? Me?」

「With so many friends of the bride and groom gathered here, it will be a little strange if none of their relatives do something….」

「No….I mean, that’s true but, instead of singing, how about I tell them stories about the recent play?」

「That will be quite, no , a little….frowned upon….」

Chicken smiled bitterly.

Well, I know that this is not the TPO for that.

Talking about plays in front of these cool, perky, and peppy people will be like telling a rakugo story to soccer fans.

A bad song would be much more acceptable but if I do something bad, ale bottle will fly.

However, it’s for my second brother’s sake.

「Alright, let’s go.」

「Thank you very much. I’ll start the preparation.」

I patted Chicken on her shoulder and headed to the hostess.

「Women are mountains, men are rain, when will the wheat be harvested? Tear-jerking, shoulder hugging, couple walking on rows of trees. The next song will be a gift from Sawadi Slayra-sama his second brother, The Path of a Husband and Wife is a Three Way Road.」

The band’s horns blasted with full force as Jiren, a candidate for a managerial position in the Magical Schenker Group, who is also the hostess of the event, spoke up.

As soon as the band finished the intro, the sound was interrupted by the sound of a cowbell-like instrument followed by a “kaaa”sound. After that, string instruments began to play.

I nervously but firmly grasped the loudspeaker magic tool and began to sing in a whisper.

「a coupleeeesssss cupppp has beeeen craaaaakkkeeeed….」

If this is a music program, a bell button should have already been pressed.

However, my oddly fisted singing style was quite popular with the drunk audience.

「Goood! Maaggeeeee!」

「Pinky finger up!」

The yankee-like oniichans and oneechans yell and yell and yell some more. It made my mood so good that I ended up singing a couple more songs before finally being dragged by Isuka back to my seat.

The band, the Schenker Band, came in for their second performance of the day.

They were already a big star of Torquiva. As they came down the aisle, the sound of their instruments was almost drowned by the cheers of the crowd. The security even has to move the audience out of the way.

After all, they had been practicing on this street for more than half a year.

Anyway, they have a lot of fans and each member of the band is known by name by the city people.

My second brother and sister-in-law were overjoyed and were making a lot of noise with their friends.

Don’t fall.

They can’t play the Ride of the Valkyrie, the piece they’ve been practicing most lately because it’s a piece to be delivered to a high noble. Even so, the repertoire of the band is quite impressive.

They are playing some of the pieces they didn’t play in the morning and the enthusiasm around is deafening.

Whenever Leona, the conductor, threw her baton high into the air, the audience let out an “Ohhhhh” full of excitement. They’ll probably lose their voice later.

They’re a good audience but if you’ve seen it a number of times, you’ll probably get used to it.

Well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with them having so much fun, is there?

After a few songs, the snare drum performance suddenly began.

Five snare drummers lined up next to each other, beating beats, spinning around, beating each other’s drums, and juggling sticks altogether as if they were one living organism.

The audience’s eyes were glued to the stage.

「So cool〜!」

「So amazing〜!」

A mother and daughter nearby moved their hands up and down with sparkling eyes.

Snare drums are the flower of the band.

While these girls were attracting the eyes of the audience, a special guest came from behind the band.

It’s a surprise so I hope they are pleased.

The audience noticed the guest and applauded and a whirlwind of applause gradually happened.

The band broke ranks and a specially created magic construct bicorn with purple skin, two yellow horns, and eight majestic legs emerged.

On the back of the bicorn, which is reigned by Chicken, were the stars of the day, my second brother and his wife.

With them in the middle, waving shyly around, the band began to move slowly down the street, playing Mendelssohn’s Wedding March.

「Congratulations!」

「Lady killer!」

「Pay the bill!」

The five hundred guests that have gathered today congratulated them one after another.

The fact that so many people gathered and everyone seemed to be having so much fun must be due to my second brother’s good character.

He’s definitely a useless person but there were times when I’m saved by his easy going nature.

What’s this?

It was my second brother’s big day and I was so close to him but I couldn’t even see his face.

Only the cheers and the applause told me that he was there.

However, we are brothers and I’m his younger brother.

I could tell that he probably couldn’t see me either.
