Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: It's so sad, I'm playing Chopin in the rain

The images unfolded the moments of Cecilia and Siegfried's acquaintance before everyone's eyes.

Everyone present could sense their genuine joy.

Einstein and Welt were also frequent visitors. The former's elegant and neat appearance made everyone wonder at the disheveled, untidy figure beside her, while the latter...

First he assaulted Cecilia, then Cheng Lixue, and then attacked Siegfried.

If they hadn't understood that this was inevitable in the past and irrelevant to the present, those with close ties to the victims would have ganged up on Welt long ago.

Even so, someone like Kiana was eager to take on Welt.

However, compared to Welt and Einstein, Kiana might have disliked the Otto depicted in the images even more.

"I'll personally bring her back—"

"Or, I'll personally destroy her!"

For that determined look on his face... Otto, who had displayed an extremely ruthless demeanor.

The already extremely negative impression of him naturally saw his favorability ratings drop by three points.

However, with his favorability already at -100, there seemed no room for further decline.

--Putting aside her dissatisfaction with Otto,

Witnessing her father and mother's love story firsthand, and witnessing the true nature of her own mother, Kiana felt a surge of emotion.

Cecilia possessed a multitude of endearing qualities, including gentleness, simplicity, and liveliness.

Kiana's heart was filled with inexpressible emotions for this mother, whom she had never met.

But she could only calm down as the video ended.

The box containing the answer to this question was handed to Welt.

As the matchmaker who had arranged Cecilia and Siegfried's marriage, the correct answer to this question naturally did not strike anyone as inappropriate.

Although Welt had seen the Homu Box in other people's hands before, this was the first time he had personally handled one. Naturally, curiosity arose when he came into contact with the object.

He examined the ordinary box, his eyes reflecting the traces of a Herrscher.

"Puff!"

As everyone wondered why Welt was holding back, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he had deliberately avoided it, preventing the box from getting stained.

"Yang, are you okay?!" Tesla, seeing this, naturally leaned over to support Welt, a look of concern on her face.

Welt's condition wasn't looking good at the moment, his face pale and his spirits drooping.

"...I'm fine," Welt said, shaking his head slightly to assure himself.

Einstein had seen what Welt had just done, so she crossed her arms, her face serious, her brow etched with displeasure. She scolded, "You're so reckless!"

Einstein was annoyed by Welt's bold attempt at something unknown, but seeing his miserable appearance, she couldn't vent her anger.

She remained calm and asked, "What was the result?"

Realizing Einstein was asking about the results of his analysis of the box, Welt couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"I can't hold on..."

From the outside, this box looked like an ordinary one.

But within, at its core, was something... beyond words.

Infinite possibilities, incomprehensible knowledge, a power as deep as the ocean.

The moment he tried to comprehend it, Welt was severely damaged.

This wasn't a counterattack from the box; Welt simply couldn't bear the knowledge.

Theresa didn't know what had happened, but from their conversation, she understood what Welt had just done.

"Just open the box."

This was a warning to Welt, but it was a little too late.

Having already suffered a setback, Welt naturally wouldn't do anything again. He nodded to Theresa's warning and, dragging his weakened body, opened the reward box.

Everyone waited eagerly, anticipating what would be inside.

...white light?!

People from St. Freya was accustomed to the color of light so they were stunned.

Fu Hua's eyes lit up. She looked at Welt as if she had found her true friend.

Tesla slapped her forehead. After answering questions and witnessing countless box openings, she knew that white light didn't mean good.

Mr. Welt was still unsure of what was going on, and he could only stared blankly at the contents of the box.

After opening it, a piano flew out?!

Looking at the square, pitch-black object, Welt, who was all too familiar with it, was stunned.

He stared at the slowly disappearing reward box in disbelief.

A piano popping out of such a small box was something Welt hadn't grasped.

However, considering he had just nearly collapsed from the terrifying sight of the box, Yang didn't dwell on it.

Following Einstein's instructions, he opened the piano's attribute table.

[Magical Piano]

[A strange piano, possessing magical powers. It is said that the music performed with it... concerts performed by this piano have various effects.]

[Kagura: Music played on this piano gains special effects such as spiritual healing, physical recovery, physical strengthening, spiritual cleansing, and enlightenment (live performance only).]

[Chopin: This piano can automatically play Chopin without a human. When playing Chopin, the weather automatically changes to rainy, causing the listener to become sad and their inner vulnerabilities to become magnified (specifically, becoming more susceptible to rhythmic manipulation).]

[Note: It's truly sad, play Chopin in the rain.]

This piano's attributes were clearly visible.

Just looking at the first effect of this piano, some of its functions were truly powerful.

They could restore even the most elusive spirits and bodies, cleanse the soul, and even induce a state of enlightenment.

Honestly, just reaching this state of enlightenment was truly divine.

This realm of enlightenment is rarely reached even by the most gifted.

And yet, to hear a piano piece alone could lead to enlightenment...

Realizing the depth of this object, Fu Hua was slightly moved.

And the piano's second function:

The automatic, unattended Chopin-playing effect was clearly a joke.

But considering the note at the end, the soul of those listening to Chopin... vulnerabilities would be magnified (easier to become a Herrscher).

This... isn't that a bit too Herrscher-esque?

Unlike the others' groans, Welt calmly reviewed the piano's attributes.

Though outwardly calm, a rare joy lingered within him.

Before becoming the heir to the Welt name, his forte was piano playing.

After inheriting the name, he rarely touched the piano again.

Now, he'd unexpectedly acquired a magical piano that could buff others through music.

Doesn't this mean he could now legitimately play the piano?!

Mr. Yang, always so proud, had a hankering for slacking off.
