Mercury Dream

Theater version: The Singer of the Water Capital…(24)

.

carnival.

The whole city is caring.

Hysterically approaching a feast of madness.

All the people are caring freely at this moment.

The intoxicating and mellow wine spreads freely throughout the floor, spreading thickly.

The gorgeous and exquisite ingredients are placed randomly on the streets and spread out from afar.

A city that is full of money and absurd and unruly.

People who are joking and ridiculous.

.

－Silly Venetian! I don’t know that the great bad luck is coming!－

.

The deep darkness is like wrapping the night completely.

The faint figure seemed to attach all fear to it.

A distinctive sign, even if it is not mentioned deliberately, a title full of meanings still appears in your heart -

--demon.

It is extremely clear, without any deviation.

It's not a joke, the fear that comes with it.

At this time, it exists in a corner of this city that is trapped in carnival, and it hides itself deeply. The only thing that is clearly visible is the corner of the mouth that is raised with a flaunt.

This is the inevitable result of stupidity, or is it just a helplessness under reality?

The sound was cold and there was no temperature at all.

And when the sound fell, the brisk music that had originally wandered in San Marco Square suddenly changed and turned into an uncomfortable and low music, and the sunlight of the whole world was darkened.

.

--The gems of the blue sea, the bride of the Adriatic sea. ---

.

The music of orchestral music is like a burst of small knives, gently rushing around people, making them frightened and trembling, slowly pulling out the uneasiness hidden in their hearts.

The people who were originally entrenched in the square, the people dressed in carnivals, and the people who were caring together in masks, suddenly shook off their clothes and turned into dark demons.

A strong sense of despair and fear suddenly came.

Deep anxiety and fear, he was lingering.

The low music sound was even longer and longer, bursting out all the emotions in one breath.

－－ Dedicate this city to the sea!

－－Give this city to the creatures in the sea!

－－The ending bell of your dance party has already ringed!

－－It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!

－－－ Be swallowed! Swallowed by fate! Swallowed by your favorite sea!!

.

Roaring wildly.

Cryingly low.

Countless voices sang repeatedly, lingering in everyone's hearts, deeply conveying uneasiness and fear.

The bright lights turned into a completely blue water in a short moment.

The waterway overflows the sea blue, the alleys are covered with water blue, and the square is dark blue.

The city, which was full of lively a second ago, seemed to have been swallowed up by the ocean, and there was no sign of the hustle and bustle that could be seen everywhere on weekdays.

It's like an abandoned dead city.

On the cylinder of Piazza San Marco, behind a flying lion, a girl appeared. She was Adrina, wearing a white shirt and a long skirt. This was not a costume that was deliberately dressed up, but a common costume for girls in this city.

Her feet were naked, and she didn't care about the water blue that fell on the floor. She walked slowly in this familiar but unfamiliar square.

.

Why, why--the sea water has not yet receded?

.

The soles of my feet felt cold, my body was gently patted by the cold wind, but my face was filled with an indescribable expression, which looked like sadness or sorrow, mixed together.

.

I know this is aquaalta, I have been familiar with it and the climate that accompanied me growing up, but why, this time it is different from before.

.

Looking around, the familiar streets, the noisy academies, the beautiful libraries, the favorite coffee shops, and... the warmest home.

.

Please don’t flood this city, please don’t take my happiness away, please don’t take these beautiful things away from me... Please, please, please!!

.

The girl's voice kept echoing in this empty city.

But there are no people familiar with the past in this city. Instead, the only one who wants to end and expects the city to reach its end is the demon.

It seemed that the demon who was listening to the girl's prayer was about to watch the end of the city. At this time, he lowered his head and looked down at the city beneath his feet, and also looked at the girl who was praying constantly.

The clear and almost cruel sound, like streaming light, fell from the sky and fell in every corner, fully experiencing the powerful touch.

.

An ignorant girl! A girl who understands nothing! The surging sea water is definitely not just about this city, but... but... this wish is not unfulfilled.

.

Howling wind!

Roaring Thunder!

It was as if the demons were raising their voices, and there were bursts of choruses around them, repeating the existence that was about to breathe, and brewing extremes.

.

Life! Life! Are you willing to sacrifice your life in exchange for letting the sea water retreat?!

.

The girl listened to the devil's answer with her ears. It was a sweet temptation and a delicate trap.

But there is no need to think about the answer at all. The girl gently opened her cherry-colored lips and said it.

Bright eyes lost their spirits.

The warm body loses its soul.

.

---The girl fell into the hands of the devil.

－－The innocent girl falls into the trap of a demon.

－－Girl! Girl! Sacrifice yourself and save the girl in the city you love!!

.

The devil completed the agreement with the girl.

The sea water receded and the city resumed its former prosperity.

But people know nothing about the sacrifice of the girl and the transaction with the demon.

But the girl's parents were deeply saddened by this and prayed to God day and night.

.

---pray!

－－The girl’s parents’ prayer!

---God heard the prayer and mourned for the death of the girl!
