Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1145 - 159 Seven Songstresses Alliance_3
The next day, under Masha's introduction, Tilan gradually met several singers whose names she had only heard of but never met in person.
'Thorny Elegy' Inor, with half Forest Elf bloodline, wears a white dress with green vines, her eyes as turquoise as jade, just a step away from becoming a Moon Level Songstress, with a simple and light-hearted personality.
'Frigid Flower Sparrow' Kajelin, dressed in a complex tricolor robe of black, gold, and red, with a gold-red cape, her intricately styled hair, a Starshine Level Songstress, slightly proud in character, yet not complicated.
'Stone Blue Flower' Greer, wearing a snow-white classical long dress, her hair deep green, with a circlet embedded with gems on her forehead and similar gem silver bracelets on her wrists, speaks few words, is slightly melancholic in personality, a Starry Sky Level Songstress, her age similar to Masha's.
'Toxic Dream Scorpion' Yahemos, with pitch-black hair and near-brown complexion, dressed in gold and black veiled dress, has painted shadows at the corners of her eyes, her smile carries a bewitching allure, a charming personality, a Starry Sky Level Songstress.
'Nine-Colored Nautilus' Muyawadi, wearing an off-shoulder pale gray gown similar to that of a Dancing Girl, with ties on both legs and sleeves, adorned with bells, a petite nautilus pendant around her neck, her temperament veering between warm and cold, in terms of age and experience, she's the eldest Songstress in the Southeastern Region.
After the introductions were done, Masha took Tilan's hand and sat down at the round table, then began discussing the current situation.
"I'm very glad you all could come after receiving the invitations."
"Aside from Prin and May who are absent, the rest of the Songstresses from the Southeastern Region are here." Yulanduoja has retired, so not counted.
Afterwards, she reminisced, sharing stories of how she came to know each of the present Songstresses, allowing those unfamiliar with each other to slowly learn and understand each other.
"Lastly, there's little Tilan; although youngest, she is a Songstress with truly unique charm. If this matter weren't urgent, perhaps we wouldn't meet until a few years later."
"The reason for inviting everyone over this time is actually to form a loose alliance. As Songstresses from the Southeastern Block, our interests and goals often align, and considering the current instability in the Federation, it's better to plan ahead." She candidly stated her intentions soon after starting, without any concealment.
Unlike the complex intrigue and endless probing and arguing of ordinary people, negotiations among Songstresses are extremely straightforward. If persuasion succeeds on the first attempt, it's mostly settled; if it doesn't, further efforts and schemes tend not to work.
Precisely because they are Songstresses, keenly aware of emotional and psychological influences, the methods Songstresses use on common people are hard to affect their peers, often causing resistance and dislike unless it's willingly accepted, such as how Ores often lets Tilan soothe her because she enjoys such comfort.
After Masha expressed her idea, none of the Songstresses objected, but each raised their own requirements.
'Thorny Elegy' Inor: "I'm not very knowledgeable about calculations of interest; if Sister Masha could help me deal with that, it'd be great, I don't mind losing a little."
'Frigid Flower Sparrow' Kajelin: "Hmm, I'm a mature adult and naturally won't throw a tantrum at critical moments, but Sister Masha needs to inform me beforehand of any decisions she makes."
'Stone Blue Flower' Greer: "I rarely partake in commercial or political activities now; if my joining can contribute to the unity and peace of the Star Domain in the Southeastern Region, then add my name."
'Toxic Dream Scorpion' Yahemos: "Masha is bold, I like it. Let me put it this way: I prefer stimulating people, but joining an alliance requires considering my group's interests before I wholeheartedly assist."
'Nine-Colored Nautilus' Muyawadi: "If it were 30 years ago, I probably wouldn't want to join an alliance, but now I see things differently; the hubbub is often for profit, even if I want to protect myself, I must belong to a group. With Masha proposing now, I'll join directly, but my sole request is not to give me too many tasks; my mental energy is rather limited."
Tilan answered last, pondering slightly, "Can Sister Masha tell me the specific plans for the future?"
"It's normal for Tilan to consider cautiously since you are not very familiar with me or everyone else." Masha spoke warmly across her veil.
"I hope the Star Domain in the Southeastern Region remains stable during the chaos, not getting involved in the two-party conflict, and everyone can unite without internal strife."
"If, one day, the Star Domain in the Southeastern Region has no choice but to participate, I will also arrange for everyone to decide together."
"If that's the case, then I'll agree to join." Tilan nodded.
Seeing this unique young Songstress agreeing, Masha felt much happier. Although this was her first meeting with Tilan, based on her own vague feelings and intelligence gathered from various sources, this girl is particularly special even among Songstresses.
"Well then, we've come to an agreement; in the future, should we face difficulties, let's help each other, and ensure the Star Domain in the Southeastern Region is free from the ravages of war." Masha extended her hand, the other Songstresses followed suit, their hands coming together, forming a ring, a strange spiritual resonance perceptible within each other's minds.
Soon afterwards, under the mediation of Masha and the other Songstresses, the order to summon Tilan back to the Central Star Domain was postponed, large Star Domains in the Southeastern Region began enhancing cooperation, Tilan's Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain received numerous orders and economic investments from other Southeastern Star Domains, all part of the alliance's mutual collaboration.
Moreover, as a member of the Seven Songstresses Alliance, Tilan's songs and music videos, which she originally cared little about, were vigorously promoted by media throughout the Southeastern Region's various Star Domains, propelling this previously lesser-known girl rapidly up the popularity charts, positioning towards the top tier among Songstresses, even Tilan was surprised by the speed of this spread.
"Perhaps it's because of the chaos that Songstresses with themes like blossoming and serene did not resonate as much, whereas Tilan's early focus on deep reality, dark style, ethereal and distant Star River style, better meets the psychological needs of the public at this moment." Deloris remarked with a smile.
"Humans are products of their environment; the more difficult and cruel the environment, the more it highlights great belief and emotion; I think Songstresses are the same."
Upon finishing her words, Deloris hugged Tilan gently, "I just feel Tilan will soar higher and higher, better take the time to hug you more now."
