Shen Maoi while walking towards the inn the Osborne booked suddenly remembered she is penniless.
Turning her head towards Ebony Shen Maoi asked Ebony a place where she thought of going a long time ago to earn some money.
"Do you know where med_Potion store is?"
Shen Maoi nearly spilled out medical store which there was none in this world but rather a potion store.
Potion are made by other type of ability user, the mages.
They are not like the healing ability user like the pope but rather more like a magician who can create mystical potion.
To Shen Maoi they are like a chemical scientist who make different chemical formula.
"Yeah, why? "
Ebony asked rather curiously.
Shen Maoi smiled, saying teasingly.
"Its a secret"
"oh"
Looking at Ebony curbing curious face Shen Maoi can't help but pinch her cheek.
"How are you so cute? "
Ebony blush, quickly holding Shen Maoi hands that pinch her cheeks.
"I.. I'm not"
Shen Maoi laughed at her pouting lips.
Arriving at the Potion store Shen Maoi curiously looked around the fantastical potion shop, a glowing big mushroom at the doorway, a vine growing at the wall.
*******
Shen Maoi had sold only one potion and fetch 1 million gold coins.
Shen Maoi was really happy and ecscalted but if she knew that auctioning will fetch ten times more she will regret until her intestine turn green.
Well thats for the future.
Shen Maoi was quite impressed with the test meter(Potion tester) that could accurately point out the effectiveness of a potion.
Her potion was just as the system describe, can heal all injuries or ailment etc.
Such a Godly poition will sure attract unwanted greedy people which was the reason why Shen Maoi said she has only that one potion and that it was a family heirloom in which she has no choice but to sell it as she was in dire state of gold.
Though that will not solve all the problem Shen Maoi was not worry at all even if she can't protect herself because from tomorrow after she has an agreement with Vivien and the two judges, she will be well protected.
What they discuss today was naturally where the song came from.
Shen Maoi could fool them Just like she fool the Osborne family, but this time she got into something unexpected.
"You say you are a singer chosen by God 'Hours Of Music'? "
Vivien asked gulping hard, trying to confirmed for the umpteen time, which Shen Maoi found it rather annoying but still remain a facade of calmness.
"Yes"
"Good, Good ,Good"
Derek exclaim in a rare moment of losing calm.
She Maoi was rather confused at what they were thinking.
Did she...
"Do you know how long we have been searching for you?"
Zen Yamoda asked.
"huh.. "
Shen Maoi doesn't understand their reaction and questioned at all.
Searching for her, its not that long that she came into this world so how can it be? She don't know this people at all and how can this people know her?
"The Music God instruct us through our dreams to find a person who was chosen by the heaven to spread music given by 'Hours Of Music' and help her on her journey"
Derek Jewels said after calming down.
Shen Maoi wasn't paying attention to answer them but instead talking frantically with her system.
"System what's going on?, clearly I made up all that, how did it become real and even Music God involved?"
"Just go with the flow"
System cold mechanic voice replied.
Shen Maoi narrowed her eyes.
"No, you know it right, you know why right??"
"Host Shen Maoi level is too low to know the answer"
"Fine!!! Than when can I know?"
Shen Maoi groan inwardly, low level again, low level, low level.
The system for reason unknown suspiciously was quiet without responding.
"No, its not becasuse of my level right?"
"System, you and I are in this together, can you at least treat me as a companion"
Shen Maoi was quite angry.
She felt as if her life was dictate, she don't want that, if this go on she will start to have a suspicious thought of system and they could never work together whole heartedly.
She want a companion who she can trust and not a suspicious person who seem to control her life.
"Its not that I don't want to tell you but I can't tell you, this involve the other world and universe including the previous host I have, if I talked about it, it was tantamount to breaking the system rules in which I can get system breakdown, rules of system that are set must be followed"
The system after a long time answered. This time its emotionless voice seem to carry a soft tone which Shen Maoi don't know whether it was her hallucination.
"Okay, you could have said that way earlier than I won't get feeling bad"
"System wasn't used to speaking much than it is necessary"
Its true that it doesn't speak much, even the previous host it has just followed its instruction, not speaking more than necessary, they seem to treat the system as a dictator which if not followed they won't be able to get back to their world though its true, but system was not a dictator but a guide.
System don't know but feel rather be in a state of emotionless after a long time, indifferent to the host but only focus on the mission.
It was the first time it heard a word companion.
The feelings of being wanted to be treated as a companion feels kinda... Kinda good.
Shen Maoi seem to understand the system, her expression soften.
"It doesn't matter whether you talk too much or talk to less, as long as you are my trusted companion I'm okay"
"System understand"
This time it wasn't an illusion, Shen Maoi really heard the system voice soften a bit, though not much detectable.
"Good"
Shen Maoi smile, system was not really that hard to coax.
Looking at the three sparkling eyes Shen Maoi smile.
"I understand, than how are you going to help me? "
"Of course be your manager, assistant and finance assistant, taking care of you through your whole journey"
Derek answered seemingly eager to quickly fulfill those role.
"I understand"
"0Before that umm... Its like this, the Music God gave us a song so that we could test whether its really you our destined person, saying only you can sing it, of course we listen to the melody so we know what it sound like... Its not that we don't believe you but it was a necessary protocol"
Zen Yamoda say nervously.
"Umm... Its ok"
Shen Maoi said good naturedly.
She look at the music note Zen passed at her but when reading the song Shen Maoi eyebrow twitch.
Really?!!!!
"Ughh can you start"
Vivien mumble quietly, the three judges staring intently at her, Shen Maoi has no choice but succumbed to her fate.
Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are up above wonder so high like a diamond in the sky.
A nursery rhyme, the three judges eyes got brighter and brighter.
"The melody was exactly like that, at that time I never know that a simple rhyme can be produce into such a catchy song "
Vivien exclaim with the two other judges nodding their head.
So with that Shen Maoi got a free worker, tomorrow was meant to be discussed about the future plan and also how to announce to the masses that she was heaven songtress.
*******
Shen Maoi book a single room at the inn with the help of the Osborne family.
The Osborne family was naturally happy with Them being able to have a performance.
For Shen Maoi the Osborne family felt that it should be as a songtress of heaven but never expect Ebony to be able to perform as well.
Shen Maoi was taking a bath prepared by the inn worker, it felt really relaxing after not taking a bath for four days...
Shen Maoi quickly got dressed up with the new clothes she instruct the inn keeper to bought for her.
Finally, she won't have to wear some out of place clothes anymore.
*Knock*
*Knock*
Hearing the knocking sound and Ebony voice, Shen Maoi quickly open the door for her.
"Umm.. Shen Maoi I have written a new song, no actually it was a song I have written just a moment ago which I have an inspiration from the song you sing , could you listen and comment on it?"
Ebony asked, fiddling with her finger again.
"Sure Ebony"
Ebony smile hearing Shen Maoi reply.
She really looked up at the heaven songtress who was bound to do great things in the following future.
It would be really a blessing if she could get to make her listen to her written song and getting feedback before she really became popular where she can't even sought after her like this again.
Ebony sitting at Shen Maoi bed started strumming her guitar.
As usual a pleasant and melodious voice drift out.
" I'm lost,
Stuck at the small world, confinement at my lonely world.
Bound by a lost chain
I need a warm hand to touch my soul
And guide me the way.
The loving hand to wake me up from the endless illusion of dream.
Bring me back to reality, I will plead.
I'm lost,
A lovelorn I need to whom I am, I am..
Not searching perfection but bracing my imperfection.
#Can you pick me when I'm down?
Can you give your hand when I fall?
Can I trust you to be my safety?
I'm lost.
I'm lost...
I'm lost....
Lost on my own way.
I'm lost. "
(SnB:This was a song written by my friend 'Lalrindiki'.
https://instagram.com/diki_lalrin_h?igshid=1tyyo5hhmt37y 👈 follow her on instagram or check out this creditor who wrote a beautiful song for my novel)
Ebony sang the song with all her emotion.
She found a breakthrough on how to express the pent up emotion in a not poetic tone.
Shen Maoi could not imagine that this kind of heartbreaking song could come out from a 17 years old girl.
Its heartbreaking but also soulful.
Ebony gave a spirit to her song. Though she may need a lot of correction to make on her voice, action and all Shen Maoi was still amaze by how much spirit she has.
The melody has a bass tone.
"How was it? "
Ebony asked after calming down her emotion, she looked nervously at Shen Maoi.
"Your song is beautiful but the most important thing is, it was full of soul, what was the story behind your song"
Ebony blushed, she was sometimes Self abased and mostly introverted.
"It.. It was, I ...I sometimes no mostly felt lost, I don't know my way, I don't know what road will I lead to in the future, I just go with the motion and never really know which road to take. I'm not confident in myself, that's the main reason which I myself am aware of. I'm mostly muddle headed. Maybe I am too sensitive and overly emotional I think"
Shen Maoi doesn't think so, what she can found out from Ebony was that her way of lost is that she don't know who she is! What she is!. This type of person will mostly dictated and because that dictated to being a person of not whom they are make them felt a feeling of loss.
They need something to trigger or bring out to make them know who they are, so they unwittingly call out a helping hand or something to make them know who they are.
They lack confidence, lack on how to choose their own road, not to mention in this ancient world where woman have to conduct reservation and a person like Ebony who doesn't have an ability have to restrain most of her impulses and abided by a lot of safety rules which in turn clip her wings.
As a singer, Shen Maoi was attracted to soulful person and Ebony was just that, but the person herself didn't notice.
Shen Maoi felt it hard to ignore this raw diamond that need polishing.
She want to polish it.
"System can I take her with me, to travel around the world and also make her sing modern song? "
"Host Shen Maoi can take in a student or in other word disciple to help spread modern music.
Ding!!
Trigger Discipleship.
Trigger content:
Every listener to a disciple singing of modern song will add to host Shen Maoi Level point.
Trigger warning: Disciple cannot be more than three people."
Shen Maoi receiving the notification was really suprised and happy.
Didn't this mean that her mission completion can be much faster?
This is really a good thing.
Shen Maoi than suddenly looked at Ebony with a burning eyes.
"Ebony, than will I asked, Do you want to follow me as my disciple and spread the song with me? Do you want to travel the world with me as a heaven songtress disciple?"
Hearing Shen Maoi, Ebony was shocked but soon excitement filled her whole body. But thinking about her parents Ebony first want to asked her parent permission.
"I want, I want but can I asked my parent first?"
"Ebony didn't you say just now in your song that you can't find your way, this is clearly the road you choose but still you want to let people decide for you? You said you need someone to give you confidence than can I not be your confidence, I as Heaven songtress will lead you to the peak of music, so accept it now by yourself or don't accept at all"
Shen Maoi said seriously.
She will guide her as a master would to a disciple, she will let her have confidence and make her soared with her wings spread wide opened at her own ability, at her own choice. She will be there to only guide from the sideline.
Shen Maoi fully used The title 'Heaven Songtress' to her own used to tempt the little rabbit without any guilty conscience.
Ebony after hearing Shen Maoi word suddenly found a rare moment of confidence and willfullness to make her own choice. She resolutely determined her heart again.
Taking the tea at the table Ebony kneel down and offer the tea to Shen Maoi.
"Master please drink this disciple offering"
Ebony have never felt this nervous yet confidenceness in her.
Its kinda exciting!
Shen Maoi quickly take the tea and took a sip, while instructing Ebony to stood up.
*********
That evening the Osborne family receive a great news.
"You mean you already become Shen Maoi disciple?"
"Yes"
Ebony answered her father.
"Are you sure about this?"
Mr Osborne asked seriously again.
"Father I have never been confident this much in my life, even if things goes awry I will not regret as this is my own choice"
"Good, good, I wish you a great blessing, may the heaven guide you"
Hearing her father word Ebony cried, she was really blessed to have an understanding father though he might sometime be extremely strict Ebony understand that it was for their own survival at this dog eat dog world where the strong rules.
Though Ebony very much appreciate it she just don't want to merely survive anymore, she want to live.
"Tomorrow you all will receive a news so I want you all not to be so shocked"
Shen Maoi said.
"What news? "
David can't help but asked.
"Vivien Leigh, Derek Jewels and Zen Yamoda are my followers and that as instruct by the heaven they will help me spread heaven Music and walk on the road with me as a Heaven songtress caretaker"
With Shen Maoi word the Osborne family confirmed even more that they make the right choice on helping Shen Maoi.
"The three high followers of Music God?"
"Umm"
Derek was really excited with the news.
Those three are the most famous among the follower of Music God, they are a fascinated follower of Music God.
The closest being to the Music God, the descendant of the three history great music figure who The Music God pass the music note to spread around the world.
That was what history told them.
A descendant of those three great figure now are given instruction again by the Music God to create history again.
He also want to be part of the annul of history.
As an ability user, Derek has quite a saying to the family not to mention he was quite sharp minded and intelligent, able to easily read people intention.
Derek sudden kneeling shocked the people inside the room.
"Father, Mother, please bless your son, Lady Shen Maoi please accept this lowly person as your knight to protect you for the rest of my life, I am not strong enough to follow heaven chosen person, but I promise I will definitely get stronger, give me a chance!!"
Derek exclaim out solemnly.
Mr Mile has a complicated looked on his eyes.
He very much want his son to follow heaven chosen person but still.....
As a parent letting go of their son whom they thought of him going to take care of them in the future.
But still, in this world who among an ability user just stay at home, taking care of their parents.
They all venture out to seek out their own path and destiny.
"We bless you"
Both the parent after looking into each other eye nodded and agreed.
Turning their gaze towards Shen Maoi they somlemnly plead.
"Lady Shen Maoi, Please accept my son to be your knight!!"
Before they could kneel Shen Maoi quickly pull them up.
She know that they want to follow her because of her being the so called 'Heaven songtress', which they want to benefit and be maybe named among the annul of history.
But who in this world would want to work for a person without benefit.
In her original world isn't her closest person Ruri worked for her at first so that she can earn her living and later become companion who they can trust their back to.
Time grows the bond.
"I accept but you must promise to be my only knight, serving and protecting me with sincerity and wholeheartedly"
"I David Osborne Vow to protect and serve Lady Shen Maoi until and unless I die, may the heaven be my witness and God be my bearer"
David vow sincerely.
"Good"
Shen Maoi adapt quite well with the old custom like vowing or pledging life to someone.
If she doesn't know how to adapt to different circumstance than her being a famous singer must be a joke.
Because of this great adaptability Shen Maoi was able to quickly accept her circumstance of transmigiration and integrate in this world.
And with David vowed Shen Maoi know that he won't betray her for the reast of his life.
Shen Maoi feel that she was quite lucky.
Everything seem to go perfectly for her.
Finding a manager, assistant, finance assistant.
A disciple.
A knight.
It feel like she was the child of heaven.
Her path smooth sailing.
Since she has this benefit Shen Maoi was not a person to be self righteous like 'I can do on my own'. She was not so willful on those aspect.
If she get the help of heaven than so be it, she will make full use of it. She was a person who used to make a full used of some benefit she used to get.
Its not that she is not suspicious, she is but there was no way to find out now.
One step at a time.
She will know it all one day.
David suddenly stood still as if he was in a dream but quickly it gone as if it never happened but the aura of David seem to be sharper. Something about David seem to changed but no one notice except the person himself, David Osborne.
...........................
Farfalla box (David) :
My soul suddenly seem to transport at another place.
Right after I hear the voice of God.
Powerful with extreme dominance.
"Protect heaven Songtress well, remember your live is no longer yours"
My soul return to my body, the word of God lingers in my heart and Mind like a mantra, repeating in my heart again and again.
