"Ah~ Ah~ Ah ah~"
Mira opened her mouth and stretched out her singing voice. She was indeed very talented at singing. Her voice was as clear as a lark's and very versatile. Even without professional training, she sang very well. This is truly a gift from God.
Even if Mira didn't become a mage, she could still become a huge star as a singer.
However, Mira has no intention of switching careers to become a singer. She is very satisfied with her current life as a mage, confident in her abilities, and happy with Fairy Tail. She has already made the guild her new home.
So Mira only came to Moen to learn to sing when she didn't have any commissions. Usually, she focused more on practicing magic and going out to do commissions. Hobbies are just hobbies, and Mira could still distinguish between them.
"Very good, actually it's almost done now. This song doesn't require too many techniques, just sing out the spirit, sing out that feeling of going forward bravely and chasing hope."
Looking at Mira, Moen gave his assessment.
Mira is always very serious and hardworking when she comes to learn. She has a job, but since she promised Moen that she would learn to sing, she will concentrate and study very seriously whenever she comes to learn, and she will never take up Moen's time.
Singing "Masayume Chasing" doesn't really require too many fancy techniques. For beginners, just mastering the breath control is enough.
Ultimately, singing still relies somewhat on talent. Techniques are more of a supplement and a way to raise the bar, helping singers better showcase their talents.
As for Mira's talent, which seems to have been innately trained, Moen doesn't actually need to teach her much.
"Can we start recording now?"
Mira's eyes lit up. After studying for half a month, she finally gained Moen's approval and could finally start singing!
"That's fine, we've already arranged the accompaniment these past few days."
Moen nodded with a smile. He hadn't been idle these past few days either; he had enriched the accompaniment and gotten everyone in the guild involved, as it was indeed a bit difficult for him to play the lyre alone.
Although Moen can produce many wonderful tones with magic and skill, and can accompany others by himself with just his instrument, it is definitely more meaningful to involve everyone in such matters.
Moen has always liked the saying, "The things that truly last are the memories we create together with others."
The bonds within a guild are formed through shared memories created together, which is why Moen often organizes group activities to take care of every guild member as much as possible.
Little Sun is like this: being with Moen feels like walking in the spring sunshine on a slightly saturated day. There's a gentle breeze but no chill in the air, and the sun feels comforting without being scorching or glaring. It shines warmly on you.
"Let's go to the recording studio."
Moen took Mira to a professional recording studio. Magnolia was so bustling that you could find any kind of shop you wanted.
However, once Jiude's concert hall is built, they won't need to go to the recording studios in the shops outside anymore. The concert hall is fully equipped with all kinds of professional equipment, so Jiude naturally won't skimp on this aspect.
Before heading to the recording studio, Moen invited the other children, Erza, Lisanna, Juvia, Kana, Levy, and Wendy, to join in providing backing vocals for Mila.
Moen really wanted everyone to participate as much as possible, even if it was just a single harmony, it would be a shared memory for everyone.
Of course, it's all voluntary. It doesn't matter if you don't want to join in. Forcing someone to do something like this would just defeat the purpose.
"Is it going to be released after it's recorded?"
Erza asked, her expression somewhat serious, as if she valued her upcoming vocal performance, even though she only had two lines of harmony.
"Of course, once it's recorded, it will be published as the official version."
Moen nodded, somewhat puzzled by Erza's reaction.
"With your reputation, Moen, this song will definitely cause a sensation upon its release. And since it's one of our guild's signature songs, we absolutely cannot allow it to have any flaws!"
Erza's face was tense as she looked at everyone very seriously. Her gaze finally landed on Mirajane, who looked confident.
"Especially you, Mira, you can't afford to be flawless!"
Looking at Mirajane, Erza emphasized in a serious tone, putting a lot of pressure on her. Erza's sense of responsibility was terrifying; she was starting to evolve into the guild's little housekeeper and disciplinary committee member. Many veteran guild members were sometimes stunned by her scolding. Her stern little face was really intimidating.
"You don't need to tell me! Erza, just mind your own business."
However, Mira didn't buy into her act at all and directly retorted without hesitation. It was impossible to expect Mira to submit to Erza. The two of them were now at loggerheads, even more so than Natsu and Gray.
Natsu and Gray at least have Moen and Erza above them to keep them in check, and sometimes the two of them will even team up to challenge Moen and Erza.
A common and formidable enemy can indeed unite people in their hatred of a common foe, and the existence of Moen and Erza can be seen as the glue that holds Gray and Natsu's friendship together.
But the relationship between Erza and Mira is much more complicated. The two are highly competitive and always want to win.
Erza is responsible, a bit naive and rigid, not very worldly-wise, and a discipline member who is strict with herself and others.
Mira, on the other hand, is rather unrestrained and capricious, with a bad temper like a delinquent. She has always regarded Erza as a rival, so it would be strange if they could get along.
In this situation, even Moen, caught in the middle, couldn't really say anything, in case the two of them asked him to judge who was right and who was wrong.
"Hiss~"
Moen gasped. He knew that supporting either of them was wrong, so he could only try to smooth things over. He had a good relationship with both girls and didn't want to ruin it over something like this.
Fortunately, the two girls seemed to share the same idea. Although they bickered and competed, they never broke off their rivalry and never involved Moen in it. It was as if they were using each other to motivate themselves.
This kind of "pair of rivals" is quite common in "Fairy Tail." Marcao has Wakaba, Natsu has Gray, Erza has Mirajane, and even Moon has his own "pair"—his good older brother Laxus.
Of course, because of the age difference and the fact that they really grew up together since they were "little", the difference between them wasn't that obvious until Laxus started to rebel in recent years.
"Alright, alright, I'll oversee things. You just need to do your best. I'll point out any areas that need improvement."
Seeing Erza and Mirajane start arguing again, Moen quickly stepped in to smooth things over. No one else dared to speak up except for Lisanna, who could only quietly advise Mirajane not to fight.
But Lisanna's persuasion was of little use. Fighting had become a kind of path dependency for Mira. She had been fighting since she was a child, and she had fought with all kinds of children and adults to support her younger siblings. When she encountered trouble, she would think of fighting first.
Lisanna and Elfman both hate reading and studying, and Mira deserves all the credit. Mira is the pillar of this family, but she's gone too far. However, thanks to Mira's protection, neither Lisanna nor Elfman turned into a war maniac, which is a blessing in disguise and something Mira hoped to see.
"Hmph! Just wait and see how I do it in one go!"
Mira glared at Erza, then turned her head and spoke proudly, clearly very confident in her learning achievements.
"That would be ideal, I hope you can get it right in one go."
Erza looked serious. She wasn't deliberately contradicting Mira; she genuinely hoped Mira could get it right in one take.
Erza's strict self-discipline and strictness towards others can easily offend people, but she still earns everyone's respect and support because she genuinely wants everyone to be better, and everyone can feel her pure heart.
"Hmph, that's for sure."
Sure enough, after Erza said that, Mirajane couldn't continue to make a scene, and the atmosphere between the two immediately eased.
"."
Moen wanted to scratch his head in exasperation. You really can't guess what girls are thinking. One second they're at each other's throats, and the next they're all made up.
"Brother Moen, Sister Mira, I have something for you."
Seeing that Mirajane and Erza's brief conflict had ended, Wendy came over and whispered something. Xia Lulu, standing beside her, looked at her with exasperation, even though she had clearly reminded Wendy to be more outgoing.
"Huh? What is that?"
Moen and Mira exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. What could they possibly want to give to both of them at the same time?
"They're throat lozenges. I asked Grandma Poliusica to make them for me."
Wendy took out two cute and exquisite little boxes, which were filled with a lot of candy pills. She had specially asked Granny Polyusica to make them for her. Granny Polyusica seemed to be particularly patient with her and actually made them especially for her.
Everyone in the guild says that Granny Poliusica is very fierce and often scolds people. Every time you go to her for treatment, she gets scolded so badly that she can't lift her head. But Wendy thinks that what everyone says is a bit exaggerated.
Grandma Poliusica is clearly a very nice person. Although she has a sharp tongue, she will generally fulfill your requests.
"this"
Mira was taken aback, clearly not expecting Wendy to prepare such a gift for her. This little one was only six years old, wasn't she? Yet she was already so thoughtful and caring.
"Thank you, Wendy. This gift is so thoughtful, I love it."
Moen smiled, squatted down, took the exquisite little box, ruffled Wendy's hair, and thanked the little girl earnestly.
Honestly, even the hardest heart would be touched by Wendy's gentle and considerate nature, right? The little one is just too heartwarming.
