The opening ceremony was not held inside the Grand Theatre, which is reserved for the formal ceremony, but rather on a huge floating platform in front of the Grand Theatre that could accommodate tens of millions of people.
Visitors who successfully purchase tickets can arrive at this location by taking a dedicated aircraft that connects different times.
Although the opening ceremony was grand, the process was relatively simple.
Once the ceremony officially begins and the robin takes the stage to sing, this enormous floating platform will slowly move, like the hands of a clock, circling the twelve hours that mark the passing of dreams, and finally returning to the front of the Grand Theatre, thus concluding the ceremony.
"Little March, what are you looking at so intently?"
Himeko noticed that the pink-haired girl beside her was tilting her head and staring intently in a certain direction, so she asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's nothing~"
When March 7th came to her senses, she scratched her cheek sheepishly.
"I noticed that there were a lot of people over there wearing very elegant monocles, and they looked so graceful."
Should I buy a monocle and wear it too?
Perhaps it will enhance my literary girl charm, and let's see if Ah Xing and Ah Qiong dare to keep laughing at me for being stupid!
"Oh~"
Himeko followed her gaze.
Sure enough, in a distant section of the audience, many people, whether ladies in gorgeous gowns or well-mannered gentlemen, wore elegant monocles adorned with delicate crystal chains, which shimmered slightly in the dreamlike glow.
"Ok?"
One of the black-haired girls, with a literary and scholarly air, seemed to notice Himeko's gaze. She pushed up her monocle, grinned, and revealed her white teeth.
Himeko was slightly taken aback, then returned a polite and reserved smile as a greeting.
"Something feels off..."
Looking away, Himeko felt a subtle sense of unease.
Is it just my imagination?
Although it was just the opening ceremony, the level of excitement was evident from the number of people in attendance.
On the other side, Sand Gold was familiarly putting his arm around the shoulder of a man dressed in clothing that blended the style of ancient Greek scholars, pressing him into a seat, and muttering the ultimate magic spell that was said to be able to persuade most intelligent beings in the universe—"Since we're here."
A ticket checkpoint at the entrance.
"Congratulations, esteemed guest!"
A male member dressed in family uniform with an impeccable smile stopped a young man, speaking with great enthusiasm.
"You happen to be the 114514th lucky audience member to enter this area. This is a limited-edition souvenir prepared for you by the family as a token of our appreciation."
"souvenir?"
The young tourist took the small trinket handed to him and examined it with a puzzled look.
That looks like a button?
It is entirely red, printed with blue-purple cherry blossoms, and has red cherry blossom leaf patterns on the white petal buttons.
"Never mind what it is, it must be something good. Let's hurry, the opening ceremony is about to begin!"
His companion, both envious and anxious, pulled him toward the field.
Once the two figures disappeared into the crowd, the smile on the family member's face instantly changed, a gleeful grin spreading across his lips, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
He quickly composed himself and stopped another passerby.
"Congratulations, lucky tourist! You are number 666666..."
Meanwhile, in a VIP section, a woman named Miss Memory, who had a rather unpleasant nightmare the night before, quietly found an empty seat and sat down, using her unique way of being a Memory Memory, without even having her ticket checked.
She planned to listen to the ethereal song of the robin to relax her tense nerves.
Of course, the black swan remained vigilant, its elegant gaze casually sweeping across its surroundings, always mindful of maintaining a distance from the two 'sea patrolmen'.
"Let's begin! Let's begin!"
Looking at the countdown displayed on the holographic screen in the center of the platform, March 7th stomped his foot in a mixture of excitement and impatience.
It's so late, where have Ah Xing and Ah Qiong gone? Why aren't they here yet!
At the very moment the countdown reached zero, amidst the thunderous cheers of millions gathered—
Boom!
light.
Endless light.
Pure and dazzling light burst forth from the center of the platform, spreading rapidly like a tide, instantly forming a magnificent ocean of light.
The swirling stream of light slowly rotated, and in the stillness of anticipation, it gracefully condensed and projected in the air, revealing the singer's breathtakingly beautiful face.
A performance of interstellar civilizations would certainly not be on an old-fashioned big screen, unless it's a nostalgic show.
This is a holographic projection that can intelligently adjust to the best viewing angle based on the audience's location. No matter where you are in the venue, you can clearly see every subtle expression of the robin and the entire orchestra behind her.
Of course, the lucky ones in the VIP area will have the opportunity to see the singer in person, rather than as a virtual image.
"The robin!"
"Miss Robin!"
I love your teeth!
The fans erupted in a deafening roar, but then abruptly paused for a second.
"what is that?"
"It looks like an animal?"
"That's a cat...and a mouse!"
"What's going on? Was this part of the opening ceremony planned?"
Not all viewers from all over the galaxy know Tom and Jerry, but there are always enthusiastic science enthusiasts providing real-time online explanations.
The clear holographic projection gave the two little guys a close-up shot.
All the audience members could see a cat dressed in a smart blue tailcoat and bow tie, and a brown mouse wearing a top hat and a red vest, bowing slightly to the audience with great poise and elegance.
The brown mouse, in particular, perched on the robin's snow-white, rounded shoulder, making countless people envious to the point of plasmolysis.
"Sky! Star!"
March 7's reaction was much stronger than the other audience members; she stared wide-eyed at the familiar cat and mouse.
She hadn't seen Tom and Jerry in person yet, but Starry Sky had previously posted photos of herself in her transformed form to the "Loving Family" group chat, and everyone on the train crew recognized her.
"How did they end up on the stage?"
"What's with that outfit? Are you going to do a musical?"
"Wait... Could this be the surprise they were talking about so mysteriously?"
March 7th let out a series of incredulous exclamations, his voice almost splitting into two.
The expressions on the faces of Ji Zi and Lao Yang around him became very subtle.
what's the situation?
An anonymous guest became a performer at the opening ceremony of the Harmony Music Festival?
Looks like they sneaked up there?
What is the family's thinking?
"No, do they play musical instruments?"
The frightened rabbit was startled.
"Yes, Brownie, Qiong, and Xing... We formed a band together when we were in Yalilo."
Bai Xitian answered innocently.
How can a resident bar performance be the same as a national celebration?
The difference in their status is just too big!
The corners of the rabbit's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
The scene became chaotic for a moment, with whispers from millions of people merging into a buzzing clamor.
However, all the commotion and doubts came to an abrupt end the moment the young girl in the center of the stage parted her lips.
The girl's voice was soft, yet it seemed to represent all the beauty, kindness, true feelings, and vitality in the world.
Just like the clear cry of a newborn bird breaking out of its egg, instantly attracting the attention of the entire galaxy.
The golden radiating rings above their heads shone brightly, and behind them stretched a pair of dreamlike, pure white wings—a feature of the Sky Ring Clan when they used the power of harmony to transmit their songs.
The fine folds at the hem of the wings rippled gently, like angels descending from heaven.
Normally, when a robin begins to sing, no one can divert the audience's attention even slightly from him.
But today seems to be an exception.
Holy crap!
"Look at that cat! It...it's playing all the instruments in the orchestra all by itself?!"
"Am I hallucinating? Or is Miss Robin's song so beautiful that I'm witnessing a miracle?"
"Oh! Lord Hipper is above!"
"That mouse is actually playing the piano?"
"Are they Miss Robin's pets? No wonder she's a big star, even her pets can play music!"
As it turns out, Starry Sky in Tom and Jerry forms doesn't need any rehearsals at all. Star Tom is like he's cheating; he can pick up any instrument right away, and he's almost at the maximum level, if not the maximum.
Whether it's elegant classical music or popular modern songs, they can handle them with ease, even making the robin feel like he surpasses the original singer.
Tom and Jerry can perfectly replicate any song or piece of music after listening to it only once.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Sunday's expression returned to normal after Qiong jumped off the robin's shoulder.
The opening ceremony was finally over.
So far, everything is going smoothly.
Well, as everyone knows, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen!
The girl at the center of the world is singing her heart out. At a certain beat, the robin, who was originally immersed in singing, suddenly changes her expression, but she hides her astonishment very well.
He hurriedly looked at the cat and mouse behind him.

Qiong Jerry danced a lively tap dance on the black and white piano keys with incredible agility, pressing each key precisely with each step.
The lively musical notes seemed to come alive, leaping from beneath his feet and lingering in the air.
The violin part controlled by Star-Tom is sometimes melodious like a babbling brook, and sometimes passionate like a torrential downpour. The notes intertwine and weave together a magnificent Symphony of Fate.
"Ahh~?"
Besides playing the piano, Kyung Jerry also took on the important roles of harmonies and backup dancers.
The harmonies are ethereal, like the sounds of a forest and a spring, the long cry of a giant whale, the shattering of Kunlun jade and the cry of a phoenix.
The pure beauty and infectiousness contained in that voice have reached a peak that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Even the robin was amazed and impressed without using any harmonic power, though she couldn't understand why such heavenly music would come from a little mouse.
His elegant and fluid dance moves were captivating; the artistic charm and perfect coordination revealed in his swaying figure made countless viewers subconsciously forget that he was just a mouse.
"I must be sick..."
"To think that you could see the ultimate art in the dance of a mouse."
Jerry! Mommy loves you!
