Chapter 1889 Allure of the Music <TOC> Chapter 1891 Sea Prayer

Jon stopped playing, and naturally, Raphaella on stage also ceased singing, casting a puzzled gaze towards the pocket-sized little girl.
Upon seeing the little girl’s appearance, Raphaella seemed to realize something, and her entire demeanor suddenly froze.
On the other side, Jon, noticing the little girl’s silence, turned his attention to Alda: “When did she come in?”
Alda shook his head: “I don’t know, I was completely absorbed in teacher’s performance and didn’t notice anything around me. I thought Sunny was sitting beside me the whole time, but it turns out…”
As Alda spoke, he stealthily glanced at the little girl, still engrossed in the song, and then quietly stepped back.
Jon then looked towards Sunny, whose brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with confusion: “I don’t know either. Alda was babbling beside me just now, and it annoyed me, so I moved away. I didn’t notice anyone nearby at that time.”
While speaking, Sunny was deep in thought.
The lighting in the theater wasn’t particularly bright. The main entrance was a pair of large inward-swinging double doors. Because of their size, opening them would not only make a noise but also let light from outside shine in, making anyone’s entrance immediately noticeable.
Since the main doors were firmly closed, it indicated that the little girl hadn’t entered through them.
So, where could she have come from? Unable to help herself, Sunny looked around. All the doors in the vicinity were closed, except for the one on the third-floor balcony.
As Sunny’s gaze shifted towards the balcony door on the third floor, her whole being suddenly froze.
“Is that… climbing vine?” At this moment, the balcony was covered with a large expanse of climbing vines. Sunny wouldn’t be surprised to see these in reality; even the walls of the Nightmare Orphanage had such vines. But this was the Wilderness of Dreams, how could there be such a large expanse of climbing vines?
Sunny couldn’t help but turn back to look at this pocket-sized little girl with strange plants growing on her back. She had an intuition that perhaps the climbing vines were related to her?
Jon also noticed the plants on the balcony, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes. Angel had just told him about the Dream Plant Fairy yesterday, how could he forget.
Although Jon confirmed that the pocket-sized girl was a Dream Plant Fairy, he remained cautious, as he still didn’t know her attitude towards humans. Moreover, why was this Dream Plant Fairy in the theater, and what was her intent?
While everyone had different thoughts, the pocket-sized girl, who had been shaking her head and chirping non-stop, finally snapped out of her trance.
“Why has the singing stopped?” she asked, puzzled, looking at Raphaella on stage: “Continue!”
Her words were also heard by everyone, but no one understood what she was saying.
“It’s so beautiful! Really beautiful! It’s like seeing a large lake stirred up by a hurricane, and…” she mumbled for a while, seemingly wanting to express her fondness and to please Raphaella, so she would continue singing.
But after speaking for a while, she realized that everyone was looking at her with puzzled eyes. Among them, a little boy standing nearby even asked her something in a milky voice.
But she couldn’t understand.
“Right, humans don’t seem to understand my words.” At this moment, she finally understood the problem. But even though she knew, she didn’t know how to solve it.
At this moment, she didn’t ponder the difference between humans and Dream Plant Fairies, nor did she consider whether to wage war or seek peace. Her mind was completely occupied with one thought: How to make the lady on the stage understand her words and continue singing.
After scratching her head in puzzlement, she seemed to have an idea. Suddenly, the plant behind her, swirling like a vortex, began to spin, carrying her into the mid-air like a turbo-wing.
As the crowd watched in bewildered astonishment, she flew towards the stage.
Her target was, of course, Raphaella.
Alda was somewhat concerned that the pocket-sized little girl might harm Raphaella and couldn’t help but stride towards the stage with his short legs.
However, he was only halfway there when Jon grabbed the collar of his neck and held him back.
“Mentor?” Alda looked at Jon, puzzled.
“Don’t worry, it’s all right,” Jon gestured for Alda to calm down, and under Jon’s soothing demeanor, Alda indeed quieted down.
Jon then turned his head back, silently watching the stage. His assurance that the Dream Plant Fairy would not harm Raphaella was not without reason.
Just a short while ago, Angel’s voice had echoed in Jon’s ear, telling him about some things, like what the Dream Plant Fairy had just said.
Since the Dream Plant Fairy only wanted Raphaella to keep singing, she would naturally not harm her.
Even if there was a real threat to Raphaella, Jon had ways to stop it in time… he was carrying several rune scrolls with him.
“I think this otherworldly being might just have something to say to Raphaella. Let’s just watch and see,” Jon whispered.
On the stage, the Dream Plant Fairy had already flown beside Raphaella.
At this moment, Sunny approached Jon in a low voice and said, “Mentor Jon, why do I feel that Teacher Raphaella’s expression seems a bit strange?”
Hearing this, Alda also nodded vigorously: “I feel the same way.”
Jon also looked towards Raphaella, and indeed, her expression was just as the two youngsters had described, quite strange. It was neither of surprise nor confusion, but rather As If Awakening From a Dream.
Raphaella indeed looked bewildered… Seeing a creature from her dreams right before her eyes, anyone would likely be unsettled.
Yesterday, when she fainted in the plaza, she dreamt of some strange images, such as a big tree and human figures… And this tiny girl before her eyes resembled those figures from her dream.
While Raphaella was in a state of turmoil, this creature from her dream came before her and spoke many words in a low voice.
Raphaella did not understand a single word, but as someone very sensitive to sound and emotions, she could tell that this strange little girl’s voice carried no malice, but rather a sense of pleasing urgency.
Why did she want to please her? What was she so urgent about?
As Raphaella pondered, she saw the little girl gently stretch out her hand and touch her coiled-up hair.
Before Raphaella could understand what was happening, Alda suddenly covered his mouth in the distance, making a sharp intake of breath.
Raphaella, looking at the surprised Alda and the stunned Sunny, seemed to realize something. She touched her hair bun and felt something that hadn’t been there before.
This cool, soft texture… could it be a flower?
Raphaella gently plucked it, taking the object from her hair bun, and indeed, it was a flower.
A vibrant red rose, exuding a rich fragrance.
This was Raphaella’s first encounter with a real plant since arriving in Initial Heart City.
“Is this for me?” Raphaella pointed at the flower, then at herself.
The little girl seemed to understand Raphaella’s query and nodded vigorously.
While Raphaella was still in a daze, the little girl who had given her the flower suddenly began to hum a tune… Raphaella paused, noting the girl’s good voice quality. Although a few notes were off-key, Raphaella could tell she was singing —Sea Prayer—.
After humming two lines, the girl stopped and looked at Raphaella with pleading, hopeful eyes.
By this point, Raphaella fully grasped her intention.
