Chapter 639: The End of the Rainbow Tour
……
After a while of explanation, Xin Yan returned to his previous enthusiastic and generous self.
Paimon said to Dvorak in a very familiar manner: "Uncle Dvorak, Xinyan is under your care."
When Dvorak heard Paimon say that he took care of Xin Yan, he waved his hands and said modestly, "No way, this is really embarrassing for me. In fact, I am the one who has received a lot of help from Miss Xin Yan!"
"If it weren't for her, our Rainbow Tour would have ended long ago."
Upon hearing this, Paimon became curious and asked with blinking eyes: "Ah? What happened? What's going on?"
At this moment, Xin Yan coughed lightly, cleared his throat and took over the conversation.
"Ying and Paimon may not be very clear, so I will tell you in detail from beginning to end."
Then, Xin Yan told the two of them all the past events that he had mentioned to Shao Yun.
It not only includes a series of unfortunate events she encountered when she was Inazuma, but also the whole process of the shipwreck encountered by the members of the Rainbow Tour.
When he heard the word "shipwreck", Paimon cried out in surprise: "Ah? Shipwreck! Uncle Dvorak, I'm sorry... I'm deeply sorry."
Seeing the sympathy shown by Paimon, Dvorak shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he explained with a sigh: "Well, it's okay. Although we encountered a shipwreck, fortunately, those of us who are responsible for organizing the concert are lucky and did not suffer too much loss."
"It's just a pity for Miss Xin Yan. Because of that accident, she had to work hard for Inazuma for a long time."
After Xin Yan heard what Dvorak said, he waved his hands generously and said loudly: "Oh, what does it matter? Although the things I encountered when I was in Inazuma were very thrilling, fortunately, in the end, everything was safe and sound!"
After saying this, she paused, and then began to talk about the efforts she had made after returning to Liyue.
"Anyway, after I came back to Liyue from Inazuma, I was obsessed with finding Uncle Dvorak!"
"It took a lot of trouble to get here. I went to many places and finally came to Fontaine. That's how I found you!"
At this time, Paimon was tilting his head, thinking seriously about the meaning of the word "tour" in the Rainbow Tour Concert.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, looked at Dvorak and asked curiously.
"Since it's a touring performance, why didn't you hold it in Xumi, Uncle Dvorak? I think the Zubair Theater is a great place!"
When Dvorak heard Paimon mention Xumi, especially the Zubair Theater, his expression instantly became gloomy.
He felt like a deflated ball. He sighed heavily and began to recall the specific circumstances with a sad face.
"Hey, stop mentioning Xumi! In fact, in the beginning, we did plan to hold this concert in Xumi."
"But who would have thought that during that period, Xumi's Teaching House... If you had been to Xumi about half a year ago, you might understand what I mean."
"The House of Lords at that time looked down on things like art from the bottom of their hearts and didn't even look at us, the organizers, in the eye!"
The thought of the House of the Decrees under Azar's rule was so depressing that it was suffocating.
Paimon could not help but stammer and said awkwardly, "It is...it is true. The Church of the Lords at that time was really...Uncle Dvorak, did you encounter any danger?"
Hearing this, Dvorak sighed slightly and continued to tell about the tragic events he had experienced in Xumi.
"Alas, I didn't encounter any danger. The officials in the Ministry of Education were unreasonable. They didn't even give me a chance to explain. They expelled us from Xumi City without saying a word."
"The flyers I worked so hard to prepare for the promotion, the Zubair Theater I rented with great difficulty, and all the other expenses and fees, are now all gone!"
"This series of failures eventually made us discouraged. As a result, the entire team disbanded and I returned home."
Dvorak paused for a moment before continuing, "Until a few days ago, Xin Yan came all the way from faraway Liyue to find me."
"It was through her that I learned that there is actually a girl in this world who is so passionate about rock music!"
Having said that, Dvorak looked towards Xin Yan with gratitude.
"That was the moment when I suddenly realized that even if there was only one person left in the world who really cared about the Rainbow Tour."
"Even if it's just to put an end to the Rainbow Tour, I definitely shouldn't give up so easily. I have to fight hard no matter what!"
"So, I worked very hard to get the opportunity to perform at the Oprykle Opera House."
"Even though it was just after someone else's performance, even though it wasn't a proper show, and even though I didn't get a cent for the ticket, it was all worth it for a perfect curtain call!"
"It starts in Fontaine and ends in Fontaine. I feel like my story can also be turned into a drama."
After quietly listening to Dvorak's story about his experience, Funina was unconsciously attracted by what he mentioned as the "perfect curtain call".
She repeated these words in a voice that only she could hear, with a tone that carried an indescribable depth of meaning.
"A perfect finale..."
Paimon on the side seemed a little reluctant to leave, and asked expectantly: "Then, will there be no more Rainbow Tour Concerts in the future?"
When Dvorak heard Paimon's question, he showed a helpless expression on his face and replied: "Well, there is indeed such a possibility. Maybe this really is the last game..."
When Paimeng heard this, he was filled with regret and murmured to himself, "Ah? How could this happen? It's such a pity..."
Xin Yan also felt it was a pity at this time, but facing the reality, everyone was powerless.
"After all, Paimon has seen it, right? Not many people care if I'm the only one singing."
Dvorak smiled bitterly and continued to explain: "Xin Yan is right. You just saw it. Xin Yan is the only one singing here."
Having said that, he spread his hands helplessly and shook his head.
But soon, Dvorak remembered something good, a relieved smile reappeared on his face, and he said with emotion: "But no matter what, I still have no regrets after all."
"I am so honored to be able to hold the finale of the Rainbow Tour in such a magnificent opera house, and to have the Lord of Water personally come to witness it..."
As he spoke, Dvorak looked at Funina, who was lost in thought, with gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Water God! Your witness has made the Rainbow Tour Concert come to a successful conclusion without any regrets, and it has come to a perfect end!"
Furninna was immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly heard Dvorak talking to her, and she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.
"Ah? Ah! Don't be so polite. Your perseverance in pursuing your dream is something that I, as a god, admire very much! Of course, I must also show my highest respect for your perseverance!"
After receiving Furninna's praise, Dvorak felt much better.
After all, it is always a good thing to be praised by others. It also adds a touch of comfort to the mediocrity of the past year.
He said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you very much for the compliment from the Water God. I still have to go and help clean up the stage. Sorry, I have to leave now."
Before he finished speaking, Dvorak turned around and quickly returned to the stage to help the opera staff clean up the stage.
After watching Dvorak leave, Paimon asked about Xinyan's next schedule.
"What about Xin Yan? What are you doing next? Are you going to vacation at Fontaine?"
When Xin Yan heard this, he immediately calculated his travel expenses and a series of other related factors in his mind.
"Vacation in Fontaine? I'm afraid that's not realistic. My travel expenses probably won't be enough for me... Plus, I've been away from Liyue for quite a while, and my family..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will have to set off back to Liyue in a few days, so as not to make my family worry about me all the time."
Upon hearing that Xin Yan was short of money and was in a hurry to return to Liyue, Paimeng said with some disappointment: "Really? Oh... what a pity. I was planning to find a suitable time to reminisce with you."
Xin Yan looked at Paimeng's slightly depressed expression and quickly smiled, making the atmosphere lively again.
"Paimon, don't be so dejected! Next time you go to Liyue, I'll treat you to boiled black bass at Wanmin Hall! We have a lot of time."
When Paimon heard the words "boiled black bass", his eyes lit up.
What to do when you feel down? Eat a good meal and you will feel refreshed immediately!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! That's a deal, Xin Yan! By the way, you better be careful on your way home alone!"
