Legends of Runeterra

"Are you all ready? Now it's our turn to perform on stage!"

Seraphine, wearing a gorgeous sequined long dress, looked at everyone in the dressing room with a smile on her face.

Bakugo with twin ponytails, Orianna with her long golden hair tied into a bun, and Zeli with her long dark green hair styled into a princess cut.

"Yeah, I'm ready, Sister Seraphine!"

“Rustle~!”

Baobao responded to Seraphine with excitement and anticipation, and shook the two maraschino in her hands to show the results of her recent special training.

"Well, I'll try my best!"

"Me too."

Zeli stood beside Orianna and nodded, but in fact she was complaining about her boss in her heart.

As a Zaun, she had never learned to play any musical instrument. Suddenly, she was asked to perform on stage with Seraphine, a professional singer. Even if she was just playing a tune on an electric guitar, she had to learn it from scratch.

Although the secretary expressed her thoughts directly at the time, unfortunately, her protest was ineffective.

Faced with Li En's shameful tactics of five times her salary, Ze Li had no choice but to give in.

Thinking that her family was sitting in the audience today, Zeli had to cheer up and face the performance.

"Well, great. This is our first performance as the Twin Cities Band. Good luck everyone!"

"Yeah, we're going to give the best show of the night!"

"Haha~! Bakugo is right!"

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Seraphone, are you ready? It's time for your performance."

"I'm coming!"

Baobao took the instrument he was responsible for, the "maracas", and ran to the door and opened it.

"Hey~! Sister, why are you alone? Where is Brother Li En?"

"He's in the audience waiting to watch your performance! Why is he unhappy to see that I'm the only one here?"

Wei reached out and gently pinched Baobao's delicate little face, with a sneer that showed a hint of danger at the corner of her mouth.

Wei has been exhausted during this period of time. God knows how torturous it is for her, a native Zaun who hardly recognizes any words except the common ones, to follow the two senators, Caitlyn and Mel, to learn how to handle government affairs.

Although learning those uncommon "characters" was not difficult for Wei, those formulaic expressions gave Wei a feeling of "I know all these characters, but I don't know what they mean when they are put together."

Fortunately, there was Caitlin and Mel's secondary "translation", otherwise Wei would probably have been unable to control herself and would have just slipped away.

Before the two cities were united, she only needed to think about the angle at which she would punch people every day. But after the two cities were united, she had to start using her pen. Wasn't this battle fought in vain?!

Of course, the above is just Wei's inner complaints. She knows the intentions of Li En, Vander and others in doing this.

Otherwise, with her current strength after experiencing the initial "Star Creation Ascension", how many people can force her to study all day long?

"Hehe~! No...no, I'm very happy to see you~!"

Although no one knows why Wei's punches are getting more and more powerful, the clever Baobao still expresses his love for his sister from the heart.

"Just wait, stinky sister, don't let me find out the secret of your strength, sooner or later... hehe~!"

Looking at Wei with a cute smile on his face, Baobao whispered something in his heart.

"Haha~! Really? Forget it, let's go, it's time for your performance!"

...

The Twin Cities Party was a party specially organized by the Twin Cities Council to make up for the failure to hold a successful celebration on Evolution Day, and also to celebrate the establishment of the Twin Cities Council.

This is the first gala, and it will be held on a fixed date every year in the future.

As for the location, in order to embody the concept of "two cities as one", the stage was built at the junction of Piltover and Zaun using "magical" infrastructure methods.

Such a location is large enough for people in both the upper and lower cities to watch the performance clearly.

In the steel-built audience seats, Riel's face had a faint blush and she seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact, she kept secretly glancing at the gentle and reassuring figure beside her from the corner of her eyes.

"Well done, Riel. Thank you for your hard work this time."

"No...you're welcome, Li Enda..."

"Haha~! If you don't mind, just call me Brother Li En like Bakugo?"

"Here..."

His heartbeat suddenly quickened, his breathing became rapid, and Riel was so excited that he couldn't speak completely for a while.

"Well, if you don't want to..."

"No, Li En...Brother..."

"Ah."

A gentle reply immediately responded to Riel's anxious cry, and at the same time, a slender and warm hand gently placed on her little head and rubbed it.

"Remember the reward I mentioned before?"

"Well, Brother Li En, you said you would give an extra reward to the best among us."

"That's right. You are undoubtedly the best in helping the Twin Cities Council build this performance venue with steel in such a short time.

So take this.”

Li En stretched out his hand as he spoke, and a jade pendant with a golden red hue lay quietly in his hand.

"Li En...Brother, this..."

"Take it, and input your magic power to sense it. There is a gift inside. Try to see if you can grasp it."

"Okay, brother Li En!"

Riel immediately took the jade pendant and input his magic power into it without any precautions.

For Riel, who was abandoned by her own parents, Li En was the one who rescued her from the academy that used some kind of ritual to transform her into a "monster" bit by bit.

There is no one more trustworthy than him, or rather, this is the only light that Riel can grasp in the darkness.

Fortunately, this 'light' never disappointed her from beginning to end.

"Om~!"

Fluctuations of magical power emerged, but were quickly blocked by Li En's barrier to protect Riel and isolate her from the outside world.

Seeing Riel successfully entering the state of comprehending 'magnetic field rotation', Li En's mouth curled up slightly.

"Sure enough, just like Zelle, Riel also has a talent for this power that exceeds that of ordinary people."

Keeping his attention on Riel, Li En just sat quietly beside her.

As for the seemingly empty space on his right, in fact, in a vision invisible to mortals, a figure in a sky-blue dress, like an elf, with a beauty beyond the limits of the mundane world, was gently leaning on Li En's shoulder.
