Chapter 216: Gala Show   Draped in a pristine white dress, she effortlessly captivated onlookers, eliciting awe.

Kaori, holding a violin's bow, seamlessly blended into Ueno-san's piano melody.

Her violin's entry synced perfectly with the commencement of the performance.

While the audience remained unaware, this segment was the result of Ueno-san's painstaking efforts to synchronize with the character on-screen.

Gradually transitioning from a piano solo to the violin's accompaniment, Ueno-san's rendition of "Sorrow of Love" amplified the concert's atmosphere.

Could it be the mood conveyed through classical performances? Yukinojo Kaori, the vibrant character leading the protagonist in the drama, somehow exuded a mature aura in the gala concert version, evoking distinct emotions from the audience, unlike those experienced in the game.

"There's something very grown-up about this, isn't there?" "Yeah...

It feels different from the Kaori I knew.

It's like seeing her after a passage of time." Undoubtedly a love song, Chrysler's renowned "Joy and Sorrow of Love" contained contrasting moods.

Of the two pieces, the current rendition of "Sorrow of Love," compared to its counterpart "Joy of Love," held a somewhat weightier and more poetic ambiance.

If the 'Joy of Love' encapsulated the exhilarating emotions of budding love, then what could 'Sorrow of Love' represent? Perhaps the longing one feels after a beloved departs? Music's interpretation varies from person to person, but at least for me, Chrysler's 'Sorrow of Love' felt that way.

As Ueno-san and Kaori's performance neared its climax...

The screen zoomed in on her face, bathed in radiant white light.

"To you, who listened to my violin..." "Huh? What's this?" Kaori's sudden voice left the audience perplexed.

However, Ueno-san's accompaniment continued uninterrupted, and the concert persisted.

As the bell signaled the start of the second part, and the curtains rose, I, standing in the center of the stage, slowly lifted my head.

Thanks to Ueno-san, in the first part, I could comfortably enjoy the concert with Yuki.

However, in the second part, I had to take charge.

The audience's expectant gazes and the brief eye contact I had with them prompted a smile to spread across my lips as I greeted them.

"Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the Gala Concert for "Gift from the Gods"!" Enthusiastic cheers and applause filled the hall as I continued.

"I hope you've all enjoyed the first part of our performance.

Now, for the second half, we have a special surprise for you all!" Whispers of anticipation circulated throughout the audience.

"We've prepared an exclusive preview of a new project related to "Gift from the Gods".

This preview will provide a glimpse into the future of this beloved story.

So, without further ado, let's begin!" With that, the lights dimmed, and the screen behind me illuminated, revealing the first teaser of the upcoming "Gift from the Gods" project.

The audience's excitement soared as they glimpsed scenes from the preview, hinting at a continuation or a spin-off of the beloved game.

As the teaser ended, the lights brightened again, and I faced the audience once more.

"I hope you're as excited as we are about the future of "Gift from the Gods"! Stay tuned for more updates and announcements coming soon." The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their anticipation palpable.

"Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey.

And now, to conclude this Gala Concert, let's welcome back our talented performers for a final encore!" The atmosphere brimmed with excitement as Ueno-san, Kaori, and the other musicians returned to the stage for a spectacular finale.

The music soared, filling the hall with an aura of celebration and nostalgia, marking the end of a memorable Gala Concert dedicated to the beloved characters of "Gift from the Gods".
