CH 321

No chest is the same as no neck.

The same way with a noble girl that has no artistic sense, in a sense, though not fatally, but can be quite close to that…

Certainly, even on Earth, there are still tribes with such customs that skill in sewing and weaving determines whether a bride is good or not.

I mean, even in Japan, until relatively recently, it was common for young ladies from good families to take lessons in tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, Japanese dancing, koto playing(A Japanese version of Chinese Guqin), and many other things…

Ah, I can only recognize the flow of Saga Goryu-style flower arrangement. A friend of mine used to do it and showed it to me. That one is a bit unique.

“No matter how little talent you have, if you work hard from childhood, you can at least become ‘just below the average’! But why?!” (Michelle)

“Ah, I’ve never done it before, except in music class at school, so I’ve never really done it… I rather like watching and listening to it, not doing it myself at all…” (Mitsuha)

Ban~!!

“Hii~!” (Mitsuha)

For some reason, Micchan is looking kinda furious.

“…For the time being, Mitsuha-san, you will be in charge of introducing the group at the concert…” (Michelle)

Oh, the forcible termination notice, it’s here!!

No, it’s helpful, but…

“And, concert or not, you’re going to come to Mitchell’s residence once a week from now on.

I will introduce you to my music teacher and you will attend lessons.” (Michelle)

“Eh?” (Mitsuha)

“You’ll have to come there.” (Michelle)

“Eeeeh?” (Mitsuha)

“You… Will… Come… There~!!” (Michelle)

Hii~~!!

=====

“…Now then, let me show you the final form of what you will be practicing.

Please take a good look! ” (Mitsuha)

“””””Yes!!~””””””

Yeah, without a doubt, they’re cute…

“… Are you sure this is okay?” (Michelle)

Micchan asks with a worried look.

Since she knows my ability, it’s only natural to worry.

With that ability, she’s wondering if I could show the children something that would serve as an example…

Well, no need to worry! Because I’m not the one performing!

This small hall of a certain Earl’s house is the venue for today’s tea party of the juvenile group.

I visited here a little earlier than the start time of the tea party and brought in the equipment.

A laptop, batteries, and, of course, the very familiar projector!!

They have been set up and the focus is adjusted so that it’s reflected on the white wall.

Then, I took off the cloth that was covering the equipment!

“””””…………””””””

No reaction.

Well, if I’m shown something unfamiliar as well, I don’t know how to react either…

Now, how about this then!

Switch on!!

And what’s reflected on the white wall of the small hall, was the image of the concert venue…

…of an anime.

That’s right. We are about to practice the performance of angels, so what are we going to do? Show them a real 3D image of the Japanese flat-faced tribe as a sample!

Of course, this is where the angelic anime heroines of our dreams come in!

Then the dream-like concert begins in the video.

Unlike the vigorous audience in the video, the audience on this side… remained silent.

…However, the eyes of everyone who had been dumbfounded gradually began to glow, and their bodies began to move involuntarily, picking up the rhythm.

Even if they don’t understand the words. Even if they don’t understand what the lyrics mean.

…That’s not what it’s about!

Everyone here started waving their arms and screaming along with the audience on the video…

Yes. Everyone became one with the audience in the video. They were in that vortex of emotion…

=====

All of the children who got exhausted are now eating sweets to replenish their energy.

The Society group is not as tired as the juvenile group, since they didn’t dance around to the video like the juvenile group. Besides, they have more stamina than the juvenile group. Still, they also eat some sweets.

“…Mi, Mitsuha-san, what was that?…” (Michelle)

Naturally, Micchan pursued the matter.

But I’ve got a good explanation in mind, don’t worry.

“Ah, it’s a new product from my home country.” (Mitsuha)

Umu, perfect answer!

“……”

““.…………””

““““““………………””””””

“Also, I can’t follow the music, and the instruments in our country are different, so even if I could read the music sheet, I wouldn’t be able to use it.” (Michelle)

Actually, when I talk to someone who plays music, they can read the music sheet.

…They can read and write music scores…

Just that.

But that doesn’t mean they’re ready to perform what they just read…

That’s why…….

“That’s why Micchan. You and the others have to transcribe the music by ear, in other words, re-score it.” (Mitsuha)

Ka~chin…

I think I heard the sound of Micchan and the others freezing…

As expected, Micchan and the others have never practiced like that.

And everyone understood that it wasn’t something they could ask their music teacher.

Everyone was aware that I’m not capable of such things. So the task was never assigned to me.

Yeah, Micchan and others, good luck!

……And so, the days of practice for the concert began for both the juvenile group and the society group.

We don’t have to aim for the championship with the club’s survival at stake, and there’s nothing wrong with making mistakes in the performance. If everyone had fun together, that’s all that matters.

Rather than a stiff, nervous, mistake-free performance, the commoners would probably be more receptive to a fun, energetic performance, even if there were mistakes.

Music should be enjoyed.

At a certain age, austerity is again fine, but for children, freedom and fun are the best.
