Chapter 1134 – Intermission: The Two Dragons in the Music Festival
The Harmonic Symphony is held in the entire city. There are many performances held by the World King’s subordinates and other participants.
In addition, since it’s possible to listen to performances using rare musical instruments that aren’t usually heard, this event is a must-see event for music lovers.
A quartet is currently being played in a corner of Yggfresis by commoners. Listening quietly with her eyes closed was Eingana, who had magically transformed into the form of a very tall woman (2m 40cm), and the small smile on her mouth told that she was enjoying the performance.
In contrast, next to her, Nidzveld, who had also humanized, had her arms folded and had a difficult expression on her face.
[……It sounds wonderful, as one would expect from a rare instrument known as a masterpiece. Its bass in particular, was very broad, a sound that is difficult to achieve with ordinary instruments. Nidzveld, what do you think?]
[To put it bluntly, I have no clue. I felt that it was a good performance, but I couldn’t understand how you could tell whatever this bass is and how it’s any different from other sounds.]
[Well, you have to listen to a lot of different performances to understand something like this.]
[I guess everything requires repetition and experience huh…… However, it must have been a pretty good instrument if you took the trouble to stop by and listen to it.]
Nidzveld was invited by Eingana to join the Harmonic Symphony, but she wasn’t as familiar with the music as Eingana, and even though she had asked Eingana beforehand what she should pay attention to, she didn’t seem to understand much.
However, as someone filled with the desire to improve herself, she thought this would also be an experience and she would eventually be able to distinguish different music, so she asked Eingana.
[Yes, the violin in particular is a legendary masterpiece, and only 27 of them exist in the world. However, strangely enough, the creator of these masterpieces is unknown.]
[Unnn? Being a masterpiece, they’re supposed to be world-famous instruments, right? If so, wouldn’t they be made by a skilled artisan?]
[In fact, there’s a legend talking about its origins…… that when Phantasmal King-sama was trying to make a violin for herself, she released the finished products that she considered satisfactory to the market. Well, I don’t know if that’s the truth or not though. I have never heard Phantasmal King-sama playing the violin.]
[I see. I don’t think it would be any wonder since she can do anything…… but I don’t suppose we can just ask her to play huh?]
After nodding her head, acknowledging Eingana’s explanation, Nidzveld, who had been watching the performance with some interest, suddenly looked as if she had noticed something.
[……Fumu, her movements look refined. I’d say she’s a Viscount-rank on the verge of becoming a Count-rank.]
[Unnn? Ahh…… I see, she certainly has considerable magic power, but I don’t recognize her.]
[I don’t recognize her either. Perhaps, she may be a High-ranking Demon that doesn’t belong to any camp.]
[Don’t pick a fight here, okay?]
[As expected, I’m not so tactless as to ask someone to spar on an occasion like this.]
The Demon they just passed by was quite powerful, so Nidzveld stopped and looked at her with interest, but she was really just slightly interested…… Chuckling at Eingana’s words, Nidzveld just walked away with a pipe tobacco in her mouth.
[……She seemed to be a Beastman, but what species was that?]
[She’s a Hellhound. They’re a powerful species in their own right, but I’ve never seen one on her level before.]
[Ahh, right, Hellhounds. You certainly are smart…… Even so, it seems that Beastman-type Demons are making great strides these days. I remember seeing two Count-rank Beastmen at my comrade’s place.]
[Now that you mentioned it, I suppose you’re right.]
[Whatever the case, it’s nice to see the number of strong people increasing.]
Seeing Nidzveld becoming happier compared to when they were discussing music earlier, Eingana lightly sighed, but she smiled, convinced that she was just as usual.
[So, Eingana. Where are we going next?]
[Do you have any places you’d like to visit?]
[No, I’m not really sure, so I’d like to make the decision if it’s possible.]
[In that case, why don’t we go see the Seven Princesses’ performances? The Seven Princesses’ performances are all very elaborate and wonderful.]
[Fumu, I have no objection…… From where we are now, the closest one would be…… the Sky Flower Princess Ariel’s performance huh.]
[It will almost certainly be a dance. If it’s the kind where the audience can join in, wouldn’t it be better for you since you would be able to move your body?]
[I’ve been thinking this for a while now, Eingana…… but do you think I’m some kind of musclehead who only thinks of moving her body?]
[Are you not?]
[……It’s hard to deny it completely.]
Exchanging what seemed to be friendly conversation, the two proceeded onward to their next destination.
