[DeviMuse Agent]
It was written in big black letters so it was not hard to find. And from outside it looked quite grandiose.
I walked past the security guards who just nodded at at me with grim look. They looked big and easily 14 feet tall. Well strong need not be big but big one's are always strong .
'Not too shabby' I silently acknowledging Devimuse agency.
I entered the agency and walking past the various people, moving equipment reached the receptionist.
The blond receptionist with little devil horns on her head had a professional smile on her face.
"Excuse me, I'm Valerie Noctis and I am here for my audition" I spoke in very smooth voice.
The receptionist looked at me and then quietly pulled out a register and said with a smile.
"Oh, yes. Please go to sixth floor and then go to first room to your right. The others are already waiting there" I nodded and walked toward the elevator.
*ping*
The elevator door opened as I walked to the room on my right. The sound of girls speaking was already coming from inside.
I entered the room as several pairs of eyes stared at me. Ignoring them I found myself a seat in the corner.
Girls around me quiet cute and beautiful, as far as I concerned they looked pretty much like human, well if you ignore the horns and tails. All of them were wearing fashionable and beautiful clothes you would see in a fashion magazine.
I could tell that girls are envious of my looks and my black gothic princess dress. But none of them dare to approach me.
As the atmosphere of room became quite, the door suddenly opened, and a woman walked inside the room, attracting the attention of everyone.
It was a black haired older woman with glasses, She was quite tall and had two goat like horns sticking out of her head.
"Hello, my name is Meri. I'm one of the managers of Devimuse Agency and also one who will be overseeing this audition."
The woman looks at us for couple of seconds and once again continued.
"Now please follow me so we can begin" The woman walked away as I looked at girls following her. Including me, there were twelve other devils.
I stood up last and followed the remaining girls.
The room we went was in underground. It was an auditorium with about 50 red seats and a stage. The floor was white with black ceilings and walls.
Beside the stage, there was a table with two people were already seated. One was older woman with unicorn like horn, and another was man with plain features.
Cough
Ms. Meri coughed slightly, and we turned our attention to her.
"The auditions will begin now. All of you will sing a song of your own choice, we will rate you accordingly."
Hmm... a song, huh? From my memory I have just the song for this occasion, and it's considered original because, there is no such song netherworld.
"Now, please come forward after we have called your name. First, Remmy, please go to the stage." A blue haired girl went up the stage, and she began to sing an unfamiliar song.
She was not bad, her song was cute, which most of evidols seems to sing.
Soon one by one more and more girls were called on stage. Some were better than others, but the judges didn't reveal anything in their expression, only clapping and giving small compliments and bits of advice.
Other than me all the girls were done, and it was my turn next.
"Next, Valerie Noctis. Please come on stage."
I stood up from my seat, went on stage and took the microphone.
I can see all the eyes were on me, they were smitten by my unique beauty.
I took a deep breath and sang.
"Who will be there to take my place?/when I'm gone, you'll need love" with the help of my bloodline ability, In a crescendo of emotions that came way too easily to me, I sang the last verse.
Nonetheless, what I finally decided to sing was "Wherever Will you Go"
Reason?
It's because I like this song, and Mercedes was listening from back, this song was for her.
So, after I'm done with my singing, I waited for audience's reaction.
I glanced at the audience who were looking at me wide-eyed, frozen.
I could see the surprise and joy as well as disappointment at the end of the song. It was quite a contradictory gaze if I say so myself.
As if broken out of magical trance, the silence was eclipsed by thunderous applause.
"AMAZING!"
"BEAUTIFUL!"
Lot of adjectives were thrown around, but I could see that my singing was well received.
