variwestA Melody Just Of Us
🎶 Chapter 2
/Party venue (same location as west prelude's salon)
Woman : My, you are the one from the rumors... I'm looking forward for tonight's play.
Rustica : What beautiful eyes this lady has. Undoubtedly, she must be my bride.
Chloe : Ru, Rustica! Don't do it, don't put any guest into your bird cage!
Man : Ooh, Lord Rustica. Thank you for coming!
Man : At this salon before, I heard your performance and completely captivated by it. For you to respond my request, I'm deeply moved.
Rustica : Why, thank you. How enthusiastic this handshake is, are you perhaps my...
Akira : Whoa! Rustica! I think you probably got the wrong person!
Chloe : Isn't that uncle the party organizer!? It's bad if we don't release him as soon as possible!
Murr : Both of you were so busy!
Chloe : That's Rustica for you, when our eyes meet, all kind of people have already captured inside the bird cage.
Shylock : Fufu, thank you for your hard work.
By the way, Rustica. Isn't it about time?
Rustica : Seems like it. Then, I'll take my leave.
Shylock : Well then, until the performance begins, let's have fun at the casino. Are you both going too?
Murr & Chloe : We're in!
While I was spending my time at the salon, Rustica's performance began.
When the song starts playing, noises from the guests stop at once. In a blink of an eye, Rustica's play became the main focus of the party.
Akira : (Amazing...)
The color of the sound he plays is sometimes light, and sometimes it solemnly, heartrendingly resounds. The scene depicted in the song seemed to float in front of me.
Akira : (It's not magic, but it's like magic...)
Man : Pardon me, but could it be that you are the Master Sage?
Akira : Ye, yes, that's right.
Woman : Well, is that true? The Master Sage of the phrase Sage's Wizards?
Man : Speaking about Master Sage, I've heard that Master Sage came from another world. What kind of place is it?
Woman : Aren't there terrible wizards chosen among Master Sage's wizards? Aren't you terrified?
Akira : Um...
Akira : (This feels like I'm being surrounded by gossip reporters!)
Rustica : My, so you were here.
The melody had ended before anyone noticed and Rustica was standing behind me.
It looks like he received a bouquet of flowers from one of the guests. He took out a flower from the bouquet, and put it on my collar.
Rustica : Master Sage, if you are alright with it, would you like to play the piano with me?
Akira : Huh?
Rustica : Ladies and gentlemen, you were in the middle of an amusing conversation, but I'm borrowing this person here. Please forgive me for being inconsiderate.
Rustica : Now, shall we start, Master Sage?
