At sunset, everyone got comfortable as they could in my cave.
"Should we all entertain one another?" Shinobu queried and everyone agreed. I went first.

As I sat on the ledge, I began to sing a song I knew since childhood, the Quiet Maiden,
"In the shadows she wanders, oh so frail,
A silent echo, beneath the moon's pale veil,
Her gentle steps on the soft forest floor,
She searches for solace, forever to adore.
Quiet maiden, lost in night's embrace,
Your melody lingers, a ghostly trace,
In the depths of enchantment, where secrets lie,
Sing to us your lullaby, as time goes by."
"There is more, but I don't want to-" I began after I stopped singing but I was cut off.
"Please?" Mitsuri begged and I sighed before continuing.
(You can skip)
"A tapestry of moonbeams weaves her tale,
A haunting grace in her ethereal veil,
Her voice, a lullaby of whispered despair,
A fragile comfort to those who dare to care.
Quiet maiden, lost in night's embrace,
Your melody lingers, a ghostly trace,
In the depths of enchantment, where secrets lie,
Sing to us your lullaby, as time goes by.
Her melody dances, mingling with the breeze,
Unveiling a symphony only she can appease,
Through sorrow and laughter, her tunes intertwine,
Embracing the darkness, seeking solace divine.
Oh, beloved silence, a symphony so grand,
She guides us gently with her soft, steady hand,
With each note, she heals hearts that crave release,
A siren of comfort, offering moments of peace.
Quiet maiden, lost in night's embrace,
Your melody lingers, a ghostly trace,
In the depths of enchantment, where secrets lie,
Sing to us your lullaby, as time goes by.
As darkness descends, she whispers her song,
In the quiet embrace, where souls belong,
Oh, quiet maiden, forever we'll partake,
In your sweet lullaby, our solace we'll make."
(Why does it sound so nice when I sing it in a way although the lyrics make me cringe 😭)
I closed my eyes as I braced myself for criticism.
However, claps were what I heard as I opened my eyes.
"It was so good!!!!" Mitsuri chirped.
"Yeah yeah, it was mediocre." Shinazugawa retorted but his body posture and eyes says other meaning.
"So who want's to go next?" Iguro asked.
