Chapter 28 - Miracle Maker

Multiple beams of light had gathered toward the edge of the spacious room, revealing a performance stage that many of the demons there had started to recognize. On that stage stood a single person, a mage cat beastkin idol, with a strange metallic rod device, a standing microphone, placed in front of her.

Musical arrangements started to echo throughout the spacious room, created by the instruments of Alex's world, played by the marionette dolls hidden on the stage behind Mira, out of the spotlight. The arrangement consisted of string instruments, percussion, pianos, and even trumpets. It was an arrangement that many of these demons still found strange, but it was not only quite pleasant to hear; it was also quite energetic. Extremely energetic and quite fast, in fact. This musical arrangement was trying to convey the energetic idol spirit inside the gal standing on this bright magical stage.

"Mira! Go for it!"

"You can definitely do it!"

"Sing for us, Mira!"

The mage cat beastkin idol known as Mira heard the cheers of her fellow demon brethren. She had previously been on her last nerve and was about to pass out, but the energetic atmosphere and, of course, the cheers from her friends had woken her up from her distressed state.

Now, Mira... No, Miracle the Idol, stood strong on the Idol Stage. Her expression was one of full confidence and a bright smile that could rival the light of the sun itself. The music slowly lowered its energetic tone, as if it was signaling her to join in on their merry band. She instinctively grabbed hold of the strange metallic rod in front of her... And began to sing.

"I wish upon the stars above me," she started her singing.

"To grace me with a miracle..."

Miracle started her story with a solemn tone, as everyone began to listen to her attentively. She told her listeners about her wish for a miracle to happen for her. But...

"But then I realized..." She continued her singing, her tone somber, filled with realization.

"I just can't wait for miracles..."

Continuing her story through her singing, she told her fellow demons how she didn't have the patience to wait for a miracle to happen. She realized... that she wanted the miracle to happen now. Not sooner, nor later, but now, on this magical Idol Stage as she sang to her demon brethren.

"I want it now...." She sang of her selfish desire.

"I want the world to witness me...!"

"Mira..." Uncle Orso muttered solemnly as he witnessed and heard Mira's wish and desire. He had never thought that Mira would have such a wish. She told them how she wanted the world... for everyone, to witness her. To see her charms as an Idol, and thus, she would make it happen... she would make a miracle by her own hand.

"So, I'll make... my own Miracles!!"

As she sang, the music suddenly returned to its energetic tone. More beams of light appeared, making their way towards Miracle. She grabbed hold of the upper part of the standing mic in front of her and detached it, mimicking the mic that Sir Alex had been holding before.

Then, she brought the mic in her hand forward to the edge of the stage, looking to her fellow demon brethren with passion in her eyes. She also spotted Sir Alex, who acted as if he was the "guardian" between her and the crowds. Miracle saw how he was grinning from ear to ear at seeing her performance, even raising and showing his signature thumbs up to her. His approval... made her really happy.

Then, she continued her singing once again. The music was at its all-time peak as she raised her voice to match the energy of the music.

"I'll grasp my dream by my own two hands~!"

"I'm not gonna wait for miraculous wishes~!"

"The world will see all my charming points~!"

"'Cause I'll be the one true Miracle Maker~!" 

She sang quite beautifully and energetically, which her crowds of demons reacted positively to. They all cheered for Miracle as they heard her voice, which was not only pleasant to hear but also invigorating.

"Mira!" Many demons cheered her name.

"Your singing is really good!" One of the demons shouted their compliment to her.

"I love how energetic it is!" Another commented on her singing, praising her for the energy of her song.

"My dear-a Mira... Your singing is magnifico!!!" This energetic and heartfelt cheer came from the large demon bear man, Uncle Orso. Not only was he excited by her singing, but he was also crying as he witnessed his dear Mira's performance.

"Kahaha! Nice singing, Mira!!!" The jovial lizard lady, Casey, cheered for Mira. She finally could witness the rumored magical singing performance inside the summoned "hero" Alex's Arcana Realm, and she was having the time of her life. 

Meanwhile, Alex had a serious expression as he witnessed Miracle's singing. He then began to rummage through his Item Box pocket dimension. Soon enough, he pulled out his honored "battle equipment": the Idol Otaku setup.

A bandana around his forehead, a haori draped over his salaryman black formal suit, and two glow sticks. But... Rather than pink-colored as he had worn with Anna-chan, instead for Miracle-chan, his battle equipment was all yellow! A yellow bandana, a yellow haori, and his two glow sticks both glowed yellow.

The musical arrangement slowly lowered its energy, signaling for Miracle's next part of her song. Alex then began to raise his hands and his glow sticks to the air, which all of the demon crowds started to mimic.

All of the demon crowds began to raise theirs as well, with many of them even pulling their personal weapons into the air. Uncle Orso, especially, raised his bear arms high and extended his bear claws. Soon, by the miracle of the Idol Stage, all of their raised weapons began to glow yellow, mimicking Alex's glow sticks' yellow glow. Even Uncle Orso's claws glowed yellow.

Miracle then continued her singing as she saw the waves of yellow lights tune in to her singing.

"I gaze upon the sea of stars..." She continued her singing.

"Waiting for a shooting star..."

She told the crowd how she had been waiting for a shooting star, for a chance to make her wish....

"But then I realized..."

"Wishes alone are not enough..."

But she then explained to them how a wish alone was not enough.

"I have to work..."

"I have to give my very best...!"

"So, I'll make... my own miracles!!"

Miracle raised her voice high, while the music began to follow her high energy now. She was going to sing the chorus of her song again, and this was the cue Alex was waiting for as he began to lead a choral response.

"I'll grasp my dream with my own two hands~!"

"Your dream!" Alex began chanting his choral response, which the crowd followed suit, as if they were charmed by Miracle's singing.

"I'm not gonna wait for miraculous wishes~!"

"Not gonna wait!"

"The world will see all my charming points~!"

"Charming points!"

"'Cause I'll be the one true Miracle Maker~!"

"Miracle Maker!" Alex and the crowd choral responded quite energetically, following Miracle's high energy. They all then cheered with excitement after not only hearing Miracle's singing, but also their successful choral response.

The music was still jamming energetically as it began its short 'showed-off' instrumental arrangement for the crowd. Miracle herself enjoyed it, moving and swaying her body and hips in sync with the energy and vibe of the music.

After a while, the music suddenly lowered its tone and energy to a minimum. The crowd was taken aback a bit by the sudden change, but then realized it was for Miracle to continue her singing.

"I'll have to put my everything..." Miracle began to sing with a solemn tone.

"My blood, sweat, and tears..."

She told her crowd of demons how she would have to give her all to achieve her miracle. But... her tone slowly began to rise.

"But I'll prevail..."

"For my wish will come true...!"

"So, I'll become... Miracle Maker!!!"

As Mira sang with a high tone, the music returned to its previous high energy and tone, earning explosive cheers from the crowd. They prepared themselves for another choral response as Miracle began to sing the chorus of her song once again.

"I'll grasp my dream with my own two hands~!"

"Your dream!"

"I'm not gonna wait for miraculous wishes~!"

"Not gonna wait!"

"The world will see all my charming points~!"

"Charming points!"

"'Cause I'll be the one true Miracle Maker~!"

"Miracle Maker!" Alex and the crowd perfectly choral responded to Miracle's singing, cheering loudly for their successful response and for Miracle's beautiful and energetic voice. The music continued to jam energetically after Mira's perfect chorus singing.

After a thrilling musical performance, it abruptly stopped, startling the crowd. But soon after... Miracle began to sing again, her singing now low but beautiful.

"The world will see all of my miracles..." She started her singing with a content tone, pausing briefly, which heightened the crowd's anticipation.

"'Cause I'm... the Miracle Maker...!"

Miracle sang beautifully. The music, signaling the end, played for a moment before ending with a magnificent crescendo.

Miracle was panting from finishing her song and moving her body to the music. She looked at the crowd who had been listening intently. But... they were silent. Miracle... Mira felt a bit of panic, fearing something was wrong with her performance.

But it was a fluke, fortunately. The crowd quickly cheered loudly.

"Mira!!!"

"Amazing!!!"

"Your singing is the best!!!"

"MY DEAR-A MIRA!!!"

Cheers of appreciation filled the room. She gasped, touched by the cheering, her eyes started to become watery as tears of happiness filling slowly filling them up. Then... she saw Sir Alex. His proud expression warmed her heart. He gave her a thumbs up and the biggest grin she had ever seen. Witnessing his pride... made her feel the happiest emotion she had ever felt.

Soon... the room was enveloped in bright intense light. But... both Mira and Alex kept their eyes locked on each other as they were enveloped by the light.
