The composer who created the masterpiece, ‘Salvatos Tornerion’, is a dwarf.
Originally, he was a person who uploaded music he made to his channel in his spare time to earn some pocket money, but this time, he was contacted by YOLO Live and asked to cover a song for a person called Virtuber.
His fellow dwarfs around him often say, ‘It doesn’t make sense for a dwarf to just play music and make noise!’
However, he liked music.
The two worlds becoming one was an old story from hundreds of years ago, so he, who was born in this era, was very familiar with the current modern culture.
On the other hand, he didn’t like the fact that older people were still obsessed with jobs like blacksmithing.
‘Making music is no different from striking iron.’
In particular, he preferred subcultural music.
In the traditional music world, subcultural music was often ignored, but its unique light and chewy taste that could not be felt in other genres was so good that he couldn’t stop listening to it.
‘By the way, I never thought I’d be in charge of covering a V-Tuber’s song. An exciting first task. Since I was paid a large sum of money for the request, I wanted to do an amazing song.’
‘I think it was Seria and Ddalsung. The two vocalists who recorded together today. Seria and Ddalsung were, of course, V-Tubers that even the otaku Salvatos knew.
Although YOLO Live is not a large corporation, each member has their own personality and good sense, so it is an agency that he usually enjoys watching.
Among them, Seria is about to surpass 350,000 subscribers.
Ddalsung has grown rapidly since her debut as a V-Tuber and is now approaching 450,000 subscribers.
“Ddalsung, the great lady of the broadcasting world. What kind of person is she?”
Ironically, he is also a s*ave who gave Ddalsung a million won and gave up his citizenship.
That’s why he couldn’t help but be excited about the fact that one of the people who would sing his song this time was Ddalsung.
At the same time, he was nervous.
Today, he would be seeing Ddalsung like that.
The red potion of Oshi that he was pushing….
A day he would be seeing because of business.
‘Yes, Silvatos. Don’t be disappointed no matter what she looks like. Above all, this is work: Oshi and business are separate. They must be clearly distinguished. He is here today not as a fan, but as a professional composer.
Soon, the door to the recording studio opened and a pretty girl looked in, smiled brightly, and bowed her head to greet him.
“Ah? You’re a composer, right? Hello, my name is Seria.”
“Ah!! You’re a nun! Nice to meet you! My name is Salvatos Tornerion, the composer!”
The nun’s red potion appeared.
Salvatos couldn’t help but be surprised when he first saw her.
He thought her voice was soft and pretty, befitting the nun concept, but the red potion was just as beautiful as the avatar.
“By any chance, has your daughter not come yet?” Seria asked, looking around the recording studio.
Salvatos nodded and answered.
“Oh, yes. That’s right. Your daughter hasn’t come yet.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I guess she’s coming separately?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then, let’s record Seria’s part first. It’s better to finish this quickly for both of us.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With that, Salvatos switched to business mode and devoted himself to his work.
As expected, Seria, who often appeared on singing shows, showed off her singing skills beyond expectations and sang well, fitting her image.
In the midst of this, the closed door opened and a woman cautiously came in from behind.
“Huh? It’s already starting?”
“Yes, just a moment. Please sit in the back. I’m finishing up.”
“Yes.”
After the recording was over for a while, he took off his headset, sighed deeply, and spoke into the microphone.
“Okay. Let’s do this.”
“Huh….”
As Seria comes out, she sees her daughter sitting in the back seat and greets her with a bright smile.
“Are you here, Daughter?”
“Yes, you’re on time. I didn’t know it had already started.”
At this time, Salvatos also comfortably turned his chair back and stood up to greet her.
“Nice to meet you. I am the composer Salvatos Torneni….”
At this moment, Salvatos doubted his own eyes.
‘This is the message. A life form that can exist in the real world….’
Golden hair that seemed to shine as brightly as gold and pointed ears revealed between them.
At first, he didn’t know, but when he considered her overall appearance, he could tell just by looking at her that she was an elf.
‘Elf? An elf! A beautiful elf at that!!’
The elf that was always portrayed as a pretty character in subculture.
Although the reality was so miserable that elves were such a miserable thing, he dreamed of seeing a beautiful elf in real life.
In front of him, a beautiful elf that he had only seen in otaku manga for decades was standing before his eyes.
‘Wait?! Then, your avatar too…!’
Now that I think about it, Ddal-sun didn’t seem all that different from the avatar I was currently using.
She appeared on TV as an RP, but at least she was a real elf, not a concept.
Moreover, her face and body were not that different.
Rather, it felt like she was created by thoroughly referencing her real appearance.
‘Wow, this is a real beautiful elf. It was on a whole other level than what I saw in the comics.
The reality that was revealed before my eyes seemed unrealistic, and it even felt like his common sense was being distorted.
“Composer?”
“…Ah!! Yes!! Ddal-sun! Sorry! I was absentminded for a moment! Ahahahaha! I never would have imagined that you would really be an elf!”
Seria, who was next to him, nodded vigorously as if she agreed with his words.
Of course, Ddal-sun knew well about the reality and perception of modern elves, so she just laughed awkwardly.
“Well, I guess I’m a bit unusual.”
“Hey, by the way. With your appearance like that, you must have a hard time being conscious of people’s gaze.”
A beautiful elf is a topic of conversation just by existing.
It wasn’t easy to imagine her going out and about.
“Oh, that’s okay. Anyway, I have a personal driver, so I ride in that car.”
“Aha, elves are fundamentally different.”
She has a personal driver.
From the perspective of an ordinary person, it’s an idea that only the rich would think of.
However, since the person saying it was an elf, it made sense.
Most elves are strangely rich, after all.
“First, can I proceed with the recording?”
“Yes, yes! Of course! You listened to the sample song and practiced, right?”
“Of course. I’m not confident. I’ll do my best.”
“Hahaha!! I’m looking forward to that! That’s great! I’ve almost finished Seria-sama’s part, so if I just record the chorus and Ddal-sung-sama’s individual parts, it’ll be over soon!”
“Yes, I understand.”
The title of the song she’s recording this time is ‘Don’t Cry.’
I remember that Ddal-sung appeared on Seria’s broadcast once and sang a song from Jil-sung beautifully.
However, since it was an ancient song, it was questionable whether she could digest the atmosphere of this song.
‘More than anything, this song is a song that warmly and kindly stimulates the listener’s sensibility, fitting the concept of the main vocalist, Seria, as a nun.
Unlike the songs these days that only shout about love, love, love, that damn love, Salvatos chose a more fundamental point of sympathy that would touch the hearts of many people.
That is, a song that cheers and supports those who are struggling in society.
A song that comforts those who are hurt.
That is why this song is gentle from the beginning to the middle.
As a side note, the part where Ddal-sung sings was the part where the gentle part ends and the guitar and drum parts come in, and she powerfully shouts high notes.
It was an exciting and powerful part, different from the gentle part of the ancient song.
Indeed, it was unknown how Ddal-sung would digest this exciting part.
But.
“…!!!”
Salvatos doubted his ears at the music coming from the headset.
The powerful voice that resonated properly through abdominal breathing, that came from the stomach, while maintaining its beauty, touched the hearts of all those who are tired of the world with its appeal.
And the high notes that exploded during the highlight part.
This was a refreshing high-toned voice that seemed to pierce the hearts of the stuffy working people, ringing out refreshingly.
The choir part that followed right after.
This was a part that pretended to be a highlight once, but this time, the two vocalists sang together and decorated the ending with an even more powerful atmosphere than before.
‘This is amazing, this is really amazing!! The two voices became a perfect harmony!!
Each and every one of them was amazing, but the moment the two voices became one, Salvatos couldn’t help but be moved.
‘Daughter, she was really a goddess.’
After finishing all the recording and wrapping up, Salvatos pressed the button and opened his mouth into the microphone.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
-Trrrrr…
Tears like chicken droppings were flowing down his cheeks.
This was the birth of a truly heart-wrenching masterpiece, he had no doubt about it.
