Four days later, everything went according to Alicia's plan. Various musical instruments were piled in the yard, and the geishas each held one and tuned it.

"Saiki-sama~ Should we start now?"

"Miss Qinzi, I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer."

"Sir Saiki, I saw there are musical instruments that I have never seen before. Do you want to play with us today?"

"Yes."

"Wow~ can you also hear what the adults said, the voice of the stars?"

"Yes, but don't be so surprised that you make any noise when playing."

"Master Saiki's requirements are too strict~"

Alicia managed a few words of conversation and walked out of the yard. She was a little surprised to see the person next to Kuangshi Lang.

"Miss Xiao Zi?"

"Didn't you say that there is always something missing in the shamisen part?" Kuangshilang clasped his hands and looked at Xiao Zi next to him with a half-smile, "If it is the shamisen, the best one is naturally Xiao Zi."

"Please forgive me for coming uninvited." Xiao Zi looked at Alicia with a smile and nodded lightly. Judging from Kuangshilang's attitude, it was obviously her own idea to come here.

"Anyway, Miss Xiao Zi is willing to come and help. I would like to thank you very much." Alicia took out an extra sheet of music and handed it to Xiao Zi, "Then I need to ask Miss Xiao Zi to familiarize herself with the music as soon as possible. I'll go and greet someone first. Friends, we will start when we get back.”

"Lord Qi Mu, I have a question, I wonder if it's possible -" Xiao Zi glanced at the music score and discovered the problem.

"Please say."

"Why is Dudu missing the most important melody?"

"As expected of Miss Zi Zi." Alicia chuckled and said with a pun: "The blank space must be filled in at the most important moment."

"I see."

"This song is called "Toward You Who Are Dispersed From Me". What it expresses and conveys is for the people in my heart who will never see it again. But even if some things pass away, there are always some things that will remain forever, which can be thoughts, It can also be will.”

"It always feels like a very gentle song."

"It's also very powerful." Alicia waved her hand and walked towards the door.

In the alley outside the pagoda, Brooke hugged his legs like a lost child and jumped up immediately when he saw Alicia.

"Miss Alicia! You're finally here! I've been waiting so long that I can't wait to see you. Even though I'm a skeleton and have no eyes, yo ho ho!"

"No need for bad jokes. Are you familiar with the music score?"

"Of course."

"Then before going in, it's necessary to put on a disguise for you, otherwise the people inside will be frightened by your appearance and faint." Alicia said as she took out things from her backpack one by one, "Masks and Please put on all your clothes, forget about the gloves, they will affect the feel."

"Ah? Do you want me to put it on now? I'm a little shy, yo ho ho -"

"It's not funny." Alicia slapped the skeleton on the frame, "Also, let me warn you in advance, there are many women in there, and perverted speech is forbidden! Especially the word underwear, don't even mention it."

"Hey, I'll try to be patient."

"If you can't do it--" Alicia clicked her fingers and made a "click-click" sound, "I will remove your bones and give them to Sanji to stew into bone soup, and then feed it to Luffy to drink."

"Hey, it's so scary! Miss Alicia is so scary!" Brooke's hair stood on end, and all the afros on his head stood up.

In the pagoda courtyard, everyone is ready. Alicia took out something like a gramophone and placed it on the table in the center of the yard.

"Huh? Isn't this an improved bass that can record TDs?" Brooke stretched his neck with the violin on his shoulders, "I miss you so much, yohohoho~"

"So are you all ready? If you are, it will start next time."

"Hurry up~Master Saiki~"

"That's right, I'm ready too~"

The geishas started talking all over the place, but Alicia raised her index finger to her mouth as a sign of silence.

"From this moment until the end of what I'm going to say next, please be sure not to make any sound, except for music."

Everyone nodded, and Alicia pressed the sound switch. She walked to the vibraphone, hung the wind chime on the stand beside it, and stepped firmly on the pedal with her right foot. The piano stick was raised high in Alicia's hand, and with her taking a deep breath, the music sounded.

Eight minutes of concentration passed, and when the last note fell, the movement came to a rest. Alicia walked towards Otobe again and pressed the switch, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"It's over, thank you for your hard work, everyone." Alicia turned around and nodded to Xiao Zi and all the geishas, ​​and a burst of laughter instantly broke out in the yard.

"It's so amazing~ Master Saiki really made a voice like a star, I almost screamed~"

"The same goes for me~ I'm glad I can hold it in!"

"I've asked Mr. Kuangshilang to host a banquet in the inner hall to reward everyone. Please enjoy it without being polite."

"Saiki-sama, let's compete~"

The geishas swarmed into the inner hall, but Xiaozi stayed. She walked up to Alicia and gently held her hand under the gaze of Kuangshilang.

"It's so magical, as if the whole heart has been soaked in warm water. Master Saiki, I am looking forward to the day when it will be complete. Even though it sounds so sad, I feel hope for some reason."

"Miss Purple, I believe that that day will also be the day when spring arrives in Wano." Alicia's face under the mask was full of confidence, "On that day, cherry blossoms will bloom all over the land."

"Hey, idiot Saiki, except for the Flower City, the other lands have long since died." After Kuangsei Lang left with Xiao Zi, Ishikawa spoke behind Alicia with a gloomy expression.

"Ah, I know. But a long time ago, cherry blossoms were everywhere in Wano."

"That kind of thing cannot be studied at all! The land outside has been like that since I was born, and it is no longer possible." Ishikawa clenched his fists tightly, "This country has... has... no hope. Already..."

"..." Alicia pressed Ishikawa's head, not with the violence of the past, but with a gentle force, "Then it is up to you to witness with your own eyes whether it is the end or rebirth. Withering or budding. But Now... you haven't finished your practice today, so you can't be lazy."

"Are you a devil?" The gloom on Ishikawa's face disappeared, he kicked Alicia angrily and ran away to practice.

"I didn't expect that Miss Alicia is also a very outstanding musician." Brooke put away the violin and sighed with emotion.

"Musicians or something like that, this kind of praise will make me feel guilty, Brooke." Alicia stroked the vibraphone pieces, a little absent-minded, "I'm just a hypocritical performer who got tired of the lights and the stage and abandoned my original intention. .”

In the silence, Alicia came back to her senses and smiled.

"But that was a long time ago. At least my skills are not old, and it's good to be able to put them to use when necessary."

"It sounds like Miss Alicia plans to use the td recorded this time to do some great things."

"Well, that's right, but let's keep it a secret for now. Thank you very much this time, Brooke."

"Then, I'm sorry, Miss Alicia, can you show me -"

"No."
