Yui uttered with a depressing tone.
“Why don’t you try writing lyrics that are easier to understand?”
I was thinking that her rock music with repeating lyrics is the problem. If she tackles something new she might find something for her.
“But I’ve been performing this way for so long now, I wouldn't understand what’s easy to understand…”
I put my finger on my chin and take deep thinking about her problem. Everyone does the same thing to save this poor musician.
Looking at her she indeed has a passion for what she’s doing. If she doesn’t she will never gonna last this long.
Chloe’s eyes gleam and then said her great idea.
“Since we have many people here, let's have everyone write some lyrics!”
That’s certainly a great idea, but I have never written something before. I wonder if I can do something decent. But still, I need to try and find out. I must help Yui.

Are you sure you’re going to leave me to Taki?!” “What do you mean by that?!” “I guess, you two should stop being mean to each other. I will come to visit when I feel like it.” I said that because I don’t know the exact day I’m visiting. I better said the truth than to make them wait for me.

“Light magic: Light impact!” Mayu chanted. A beam of light flew toward Karyll. Resulting in her head being holed. Her right eyes are non-existent and the blood was spraying out of her body. Even still, Karyll was smiling calmly. I expected karyll to be a tough opponent considering all the praise and rumors around her, but this is disgusting. I can still feel her life presence and magic. When somebody died. The magical energy of the dead must fade away. Something different is going on. Mayu fritted her teeth and angry swing her sword. Each swing released a beam of light that continuously holed Karyll’s body. The brutal light beam even pierced the army of undead behind Karyll. The same goes with the terrain. The earth rented and mountains around were destroyed. “... Did I defeat her?” Mayu asked and chased her breath. “Nope, I can still feel her magic…” After Mayu stopped attacking.

I shed tears and muttered. “That’s my true mother…” “You met your mother?” “Un… I saw her and battled her before. She didn’t recognize me because of my current light brown hair.” “Her name is Astra… Your real name came from her that Stella means star. After learning part of your past. What are you planning to do Laura?” Honestly, I don’t have a single idea… Master Karyll also became hostile for some reason.

Its seeds we find when we venture in the dungeon that appeared in the border between dark territory and our kingdom.”Karyll look at the king strangely and whispered to Luna.“What is this man scheming? I can’t understand him very well…”“I’m on the same page.”Despite the four knights looking at the king with their suspicious eyes. The king never released bloodlust or killing intent toward them. That’s the same to the moment, a sword was pointed at them.The words the king said must be true and he has no intention of lying.
