With a thunderous roar, applause poured onto the stage.

It hadn't even been 10 minutes since she started singing, but suddenly the audience had increased by at least five times compared to the beginning.
It seemed like everyone nearby had gathered.
"Elphi! Elphi! Elphi!"
"One more song! One more song!"
They shouted enthusiastically, chanting Ella's name.
She dashed to the front of the stage, waving to the audience and responding to their cheers.
What's going on?
Did he misunderstand something?
Her lively movements as she dashed around didn't resemble someone who had been crying just moments ago.
The scarecrow approached her with hesitant steps.
The last verse she sang reminded him of a confession she had made to him a few weeks ago.
