Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 149

Roland responded, and then he and the little girl fell silent.

Because from the direction of the stage, as the lights came on, the singer, who was even more dazzling than the lights, appeared. With a high note at the beginning, even Roland couldn't help but be drawn to her.

This is Eden.

The brightest star of this era.

The seventh Great Collapse will follow the sixth.

The Seventh Great Collapse was the Herrscher of Flame, and the member who became a Herrscher was named Himiko, a member of the Moths of Flame.

The Herrscher of Flame is completely different from the six Herrschers who appeared before. Her power has surpassed the current stage of technology. In the original development, the Fire Moth tried to defeat her many times but failed. In the end, the Fire Moth had no choice but to go through the Fusion Warrior Project, which gave birth to the first batch of Fusion Warriors. Then, Kevin, who had mastered the power of ice and snow, defeated the Herrscher of Flame.

Two people were affected in this massive collapse.

One of them was Hua, who was still a new recruit at that time.

Another one is Eden, who was holding a concert during this period.

The fire engulfed the entire country of Australia, and then the flames stopped right in front of Eden, saving Hua.

However, the price of being saved was that Hua watched as Himiko, who had once been his captain, was pierced by ice spikes and nailed to the ground.

Therefore, after the Sixth Great Collapse ended, Roland began preparing for the Seventh Great Collapse.

Creating fusion warriors and divine keys is one aspect.

Early contact with Eden is another aspect.

So Roland had previously found an opportunity to sign up during Eden's recruitment of an assistant, and with a little trickery from Velvet, Roland ended up standing here.

He wanted to contact Eden first, and then protect Eden and Hua during the seventh Great Collapse, while also pulling them into Anti-Entropy.

There's not much to say about Hua's talent, but Eden, in addition to her unique talent, also has money and influence.

Roland only intended to let the Firemoth live until the tenth Great Collapse, which is the time of the Herrscher of Domination. However, if possible, he probably wanted to completely devour the Firemoth during the eighth Great Collapse, which is the time of the Herrscher of Consciousness.

Eden's influence was something Roland needed.

So it's perfectly fine for Roland to say that attending the concert is for work.

Because in every sense, this is indeed work.

"Eden's concert was still so breathtaking and moving..."

As Roland listened to the little girl beside him talking about the concert, he nodded in agreement.

Although Roland never chases after celebrities, he was still somewhat impressed by Eden's stage performance.

To be fair, Eden may have truly achieved something extraordinary in this regard.

So much so that, as a singer, she was able to create a phrase that circulated all over the world—"No one can hate Eden, right?"

Really great.

"Alright, Eden's concert is over, now it's our turn."

The young girl took Roland to handle some of the work that agents and assistants should do. Roland had studied these tasks beforehand, so he picked them up very quickly.

In the process of handling these tasks, Roland came across a job that offered high salaries for excellent songs.

"I remember that Eden wrote all the songs she sang herself, right? Is Eden experiencing a creative block?"

"It can't really be considered a creative bottleneck."

The little girl was also a bit helpless when she saw this, and then she explained it to Roland.

“Eden is very good at what he does well. Sometimes he can finish a new song very quickly while drinking and humming a song. But recently Eden has been wanting to try some songs that he is not so good at, so this job came about.”

Hearing the little girl say that, Roland looked around the work area and then began to think.

Seeing him like this, the little girl knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Roland, are you going to write a song?"

"I can try."

Roland smiled.

He may not be able to write songs, but if he can't write them, can't he at least plagiarize them?

Roland hadn't been interested in getting involved in this kind of thing before, but after watching Eden's concert today, he'd become a little more interested.

Four hours after the concert ended, Eden arrived home.

After returning home, she changed her clothes briefly and then poured herself a glass of wine before washing up.

If Roland's maid were here, she wouldn't let Eden drink too much, at least not to the point of getting drunk. But she wasn't here, so Eden drank while thinking about the parts of the music he wasn't very good at, and soon got drunk.

At that moment, Roland happened to have a song that she had specially studied and quickly copied down, so she thought of going to Eden to see if it would work.

However, he did not expect that after he arrived at Eden's place, the drunk Eden, in a daze, thought he was the little girl's agent and came right up to him.

Roland figured he would probably fall if he dodged her, so he caught her.

Then Eden naturally wrapped his arms around Roland's neck, pressing his entire body against Roland's from the front. The softness and warmth immediately reached Roland, and Eden also carried a pleasant aroma of wine.

She chuckled softly, and before Roland could say anything, she slowly opened her mouth.

"Help me change my clothes, then help me take a bath."

....

95. Was Roland also a world-class musician?

"Phew, alright, you should be more awake now..."

As Eden's agent, the young woman had seen Eden drunk countless times. She roughly knew what Eden felt like when he was drunk and when he would become somewhat sober. Well, apart from still not being able to catch Eden secretly drinking, she knew Eden quite well.

"Um..."

Eden lay in bed, watching the little girl bustling around him, and smiled.

"Thank you for your help this time too."

Hearing Eden say that, the little girl rolled her eyes at her.

“This time it wasn’t just me. Roland was the first to find you drunk, and then you clung to him. Luckily it was him. After settling you in, he called me and asked me to come over. If it had been someone else, we’d see what you would have done.”

Thinking about this, the little girl trusted Roland a lot more.

After all, given Eden's drunken state, if Roland really wanted to take advantage of him, Eden would have been completely devoured by the time Roland realized it!

The young woman had been wondering why, when they were hiring an assistant, HR had ultimately chosen a man.

But now, through this incident, she has come to accept Roland as her assistant.

"That's right..."

When Eden heard the little girl say that, he seemed to vaguely remember what he had done while he was drunk.

She remembered that she seemed to be hugging someone, leaning against him, and then having him help her change her clothes... Thinking of this, Eden's face turned a little red.

However, after thinking about these things, she remembered how the other person had very politely pushed her away, settled her in, comforted her for a few words, and then left.

It seems Roland went to call his agent.

Phew, just like my agent said, thank goodness it was Roland, if it were someone else, who knows what would have happened.

Thinking about this, Eden also felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Roland.

So she quietly asked her agent about Roland.

"By the way, Roland, is there something you need from me at this time?"

"Oh, he saw your song submission ad while organizing files, then wrote one himself, and decided to use his assistant to send it to you so you could take a look..."

At this point, the little girl also seemed a bit helpless.

She watched as Roland went out for about an hour, and when he came back, the song was already written.

In such a short time, she felt that the song Roland wrote probably wouldn't be very good.

Eden, however, slowly sat up after hearing what his agent said, showing some interest in the matter.

"And what about the songs he wrote?"

"Here it is. He left the song behind when he left. I haven't seen it yet. Do you want to see it?"

"Ah."

Eden nodded.

"Now that Roland has become my assistant, it must be fate. I'd also like to see the music he composed."

As he said this, Eden's gaze had already fallen on the sheet music that Roland had brought.

She has already thought about it.

If Roland's composition is decent, then we can optimize it and use it for promotion at our upcoming concert in Australia. If Roland's composition isn't good, we can help him revise it. We wouldn't call it giving pointers, but we can point out the problems.

Eden picked up the sheet music with this in mind.

But after she finished reading the sheet music, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't completely without opinions on the score; if she had to, she could improve a couple of minor details given her skill level.
