The MULTIVERSE of the TRAVELER and the TRAILBLAZER

24-Hour Cinderella

"All right, we're back at it again with another karaoke,"Kiran muttered and began inputting the next karaoke song as the name pops up.

24-Hour Cinderella

Kiran resisted the urge not to laugh as he knew the song really well and it's sung by the greatest human being. He shook his head with a smile and began to connect it to the projector.

[The scene begins again with Aether holding a microphone with a smile as an enthusiastic pop music began to play]

Aether:Sunao ni I LOVE YOU! todokeyou
kitto YOU LOVE ME! tsutawaru sa
Kimi ni niau GLASS no kutsu wo sagasou

(Translation:Let's deliver an honest I LOVE YOU.
And I'm sure YOU LOVE ME!
Let's find that glass slipper that fits you!)

Some people within the room began to laugh, not expecting Aether to sing such a song as Childe wheezed his balls out at the song," Oh Tsaritsa, is Comrade really singing such a song?! This is hilarious!"

Aether just pouted and crossed his arms. It's not his fault he likes the song so much....

The girls, however, immediately began to blush profusely once more upon hearing the lyrics of the song. Ayaka hides her blush with her fan.

Aether:Futari de STEP & GO! itsu made mo
Shin'ya juuni-ji wo sugitatte
bokura no LOVE MAGIC wa
toke wa shinai

(Translation:Together, Step & Go! Forever and ever.
Even though it's past midnight,
Our love magic,
Can never be broken)

"Aw, how sweet, cutie,"Lisa said with a smile, already loving the song. The same thought goes to the girls, and maybe the Female Harbingers as well....?

"Why am... I attracted to him all of a sudden...?"Arlecchino muttered, her face crimson red as she placed a hand on her chest....

Columbina, however, began humming the song as if it's a lullaby.

Aether:Oide meshimase ohime-sama
Doku no ringo wo tabete nemucchai sou na
Sunao sugiru kimi ga totemo itoshii

(Translation:You're welcome here, Princess.
You'll fall asleep from eating the poison apple.
I love you for your true honesty)

The girls immediately began to glare at each other, wanting Aether for themselves upon hearing that part. Aether could feel a sense of dread running up his spine....

Aether:Atarimae ＝ (iko) takaramono sa
Chikyuu wa mawari hi wa nobori
Kimi wa hohoemu

(Translation:Natural = Treasure.
The Earth will turn, the Sun will rise,
And you smile.)

[A flash of white as it now shows Aether in a stage wearing an idol outfit with his hair tied into a ponytail with Childe, Diluc, Zhongli and Alhaitham as his backup dancers]

That's it.

Everyone now truly laughed at the ridiculousness of what they were witnessing. Aether's embarrassment only grew with each passing minute...

"Kill me..."He muttered and Paimon only patted Aether's shoulder in comfort. Childe only slammed his fist on his armchair, wheezing like a maniac. Diluc and Alhaitham only stared at the screen, trying to wonder what the actual fuck were they seeing.

Zhongli? Sips his tea.

Aether:Sunao ni I LOVE YOU! todokeyou
Kitto YOU LOVE ME! tsutawaru sa
Kimi ni niau GLASS no kutsu wo sagasou

(Translation:Let's deliver an honest I LOVE YOU.
And I'm sure YOU LOVE ME!
Let's find that glass slipper that fits you!)

[Aether and his back-up dancers began to roll around the stage with their roller blades and dancing as well]

Aether:Futari de STEP & GO! itsu made mo
Shin'ya juuni-ji wo sugitatte
Kimi wa boku no itoshii nijuuyo-jikan CINDERELLA

(Translation:Together, Step & Go! Forever and ever.
Even though it's past midnight,
You're my beloved 24-hour Cinderella!)

Aether:Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Aether and his back-up dancers posed as they finished their song as Aether only smiled]

Everyone cheered and clapped on for Aether's singing, even whistling...which only increased Aether's embarrassment ten-fold.
