What Insurmountable Talent!
Harveston - Assembly Room
Marja
Now now, the party is much too far from over.
Let's get this party started in time with the music, everyone.
*Pipe organ playing*
Grim
Epel's granny's real amazin'! She's playing the pipe organ so well!
Sebek
To be able to play an instrument as well… You never cease to impress, Marja!
Jade
It seems that Sebek is the type of person who views everyone around him as his dear friends. It is great to see that he is such an amiable person.
Idia
It's the opposite isn't it… He's being all "who cares about the humans" no matter how you look at him. You made those remarks knowing full well what he's like in the first place, didn't you?
Epel
It is customary to sing and dance during parties and service award ceremonies here in Harveston.
That's why the villagers love musical performances regardless of how good or bad you are!
Marja
Are you able to play any instrument, loves? Let us all make merry together.
Epel
I'll play the concertina then.
Jade
That instrument bears a striking resemblance to the accordion.
Epel
Yeah, that's because they both have bellows.
*Concertina playing*
Sebek
Oh, you seem to be quite the experienced player, Epel.
Epel
Really? I guess it's because I've always played for ceremonies and other parties since I was a kid.
I may not be able to play complex pieces, but it's fun to breathe life to the party together with everyone else.
Although, the grown ups around me are usually the ones playing instruments anyway, so I'd often have fun dancing instead.
Or clapping to the beat to bring up the energy!
Jade
I shall play a melody of my own as well.
After all, it would be rude of me not to return the favour everyone bestowed upon us by throwing such a wonderful party on our behalf.
Now, allow me to play this fish-shaped recorder…
*Recorder playing*
Epel
Wow! You're so good at this!
I never knew you could play the recorder, Jade.
Jade
You see, I often enter the mountain's domains to forage for edible vegetation. By using the bear-repelling whistle as often as I am required to, I could naturally hone my musical abilities over time.
Sebek
Becoming so skilled when your introduction to fluting is a bear-repelling whistle… What insurmountable talent you have!
Epel
Huh? Wasn't Jade just kidding us?
Jade
Hehe, I wonder myself.
Sebek
I'm not going to just sit back and let Jade be the only one hogging the limelight. I shall play the violin now.
Epel
You know how to play it?
Sebek
No, not at all.
Epel
Huh?
Sebek
I made sure to listen to Lord Malleus each time he plays his violin. It's also a challenge I intend to take on someday.
This ensures that we can have commonalities that we can delve on in conversation. Now, allow me to begin.
*Ssssssskr-skr-skrrrrchhh…*
Epel
Ugh???!!! It's terrible!!!
Grim
S-Stop it! My ears are ringing!
Epel
N-No matter what you say, it's impossible to play something well without practising a single bit, Sebek.
Sebek
Guh… Now this is too embarrassing of an anecdote to raise in conversation…
However! I have understood the marvel behind Lord Malleus's performances!
To think that it would be such a difficult instrument to play… The Young Master is truly amazing in that regard!
Epel
Why don't you play another instrument instead?
Sebek
That's fair. In that case, I shall play the flute like how Jade did. Here I go…
*PRRRRRRR!!!*
Epel
Whoa!!! It's unbelievably loud! Just how much lung capacity do you have?!
Jade
You appear to have quite the knack for the flute, Sebek. I would love to practise with you someday, if you don't mind.
Sebek
Hmph. Lord Malleus himself is talented at playing stringed instruments, so becoming better at playing the flute is completely meaningless for me.
Marja
Is there anything you are able to play for us, Idia dear? Whether you're good at it or not, we don't mind.
Idia
Hah? Even if you were to make such a demand out of me…
Marja
Why, don't say that, dearie. Please, the floor is all yours.
Idia
Yikes, now it feels like this is never gonna end if I don't do it… SIGH…what a pain…
Sir Sebek, pass the violin over.
Sebek
Th-The violin, you say? Got it.
Idia
Sigh… Here goes nothing.
*Nice violin playing*
Grim
Umyamya?! He's super duper good at this!
Sebek
He's…definitely not up to Lord Malleus's standard, but he's certainly a step away from playing as magnificently as him!
Epel
He sounds like a pro! This is amazing! Who would've thought that Idia had such a talent hidden up his sleeve!
Jade
Hehe. All of you, please pay attention and watch. The bow's movements are not matching up with the sounds they supposedly produce, are they?
Epel
…Ahh! The violin music is being played from his smartphone instead!!
Grim
Whaaat?! Isn't that unfair?!
Idia
Fuhee! That's high-res audio playback for you.
Epel
The sound was so pleasant and audible that I was completely fooled…
Sebek
How shameful of me to have thought that Idia was amazing for even a split second…
Idia
There's no need to go through all the pains of practising an instrument if the option of just pushing a button to play something a real pro would exists, is there?
Grim
Your royal majesty's gonna play the cymbals!
*CRASH CRASH CRAAAASSHHH!!!*
Sebek
I-It's ear piercing! Don't play the cymbals in succession while in an enclosed space!
Epel
Please play them gentler instead!
Grim
Hehe~! That style doesn't suit me one bit!
*CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!*
Epel
G-grim, play these castanets instead.
Grim
Fnagh? Ohh, got it! I'll bring the mood up with these then!
*Clack clack clack clack!*
Jade
He seems quite enthusiastic about it.
Epel
Well, he seems to be having fun so that's all that matters.
*Clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack!!!*
Sebek
N-Nevermind, it's all noise now!!
Epel
Are you able to perform on any instrument, Yuu?

Epel
Really? Let's hear it then!
*Recorder playing*
Epel
Wha-? You're so good…! I didn't know you had such a talent. Please teach me next time, okay!
Sebek
Hmph. It was a so-so performance.
Epel
This means we can get the party even more lively. Let's all play together as one!
*Everyone plays their instruments*
Idia
I mean that's normal…
Epel
Shall we dance instead, then? I'm sure it'd be loads of fun.
Jade
Indeed, it would. Dance itself plays an important role in adding life to an event after all.
*Dance steps*
Villager A
Tha li'l uns sure are good no marra if it's dance or song, ain't 'ey!
Villager B
Aye! And we ain't about ta get beat! Get up an' dance, fellas! Dance!
Grim
Wahaha! I'm gonna dance too! Yeah hoo!!!!
*Grim dances*
Villager B
Oh~ splendid! Looks laik dem city cats are reet different from us uns after all, aye.
Grim
Fnagh! I'm no lowly cat, okay!
