Everyone dolled up! 2-3H

[After the five court musicians' roles were decided]

[Sanshuu Middle - Courtyard]

Suz: Hey, Mebu, so what are you going to do about Fuu-san's scouting you for the five court musicians just now?

Yum: What do you mean? What reason would there be to decline an important role such as that?

Shi: Kusunoki as one of the court musicians... Would be good.

Meb: I do feel honoured that she asked me to do it, but I honestly don't really feel like it.

Meb: The five court musicians are that, musicians. We're not going to actually perform, but still, I have no experience, so should I really...

Shi: Then just practice... I'll tag along.

Suz: I'll tag along too! Plus if we're talking harmonica or recorder, I've played those before.

Yum: In that case, so shall I!

Meb: Well, if you all say so... It's an invite after all, so I'll take up the challenge.

[Music room]

Suz: Sanshuu Middle is incredible, they've got a full set of Japanese instruments in the music room!

Shi: The rumour goes they were borrowed at a shrine for a festival and are still here.

Meb: It's my first time seeing these with my own eyes. I'll try them in order, I guess.

Meb: This is a kotsuzumi [small hand drum]. You hit it like this, right?

Suz: Ooh! You're getting nice sounds out of it right away!

Yum: Next is this: the yokobue [horizontal flute].

Meb: Hold it horizontally, then do it like this?

Shi: This one's perfect too...

Meb: Next up: the taiko drum.

Suz: Mebu, you're so skillful at everything that we're not being useful at all...

Yum: Though it seems not even those words are reaching Mebuki-san through her concentration.

Shi: Maybe we weren't... needed?

Suz/Yum: Aww...

Meb: Phew, I guess I'll finish my practice here... Huh, what's wrong,  girls? Why do you look so gloomy?

Suz/Yum/Shi: ...

Meb: I don't know what happened, but do you want to come with me and take a break?

Meb: All the concentration today made me tired.

Shi: You sure... You're okay with us?

Meb: Obviously? I'm asking you because you're my trusted friends.

Yum: Why, in that case, leave everything to us! Would you like some tea? Or some rice?

Suz: Or maybe udon? If you're tired, I'll give you a massage!

Meb: What's wrong with you all? You're weirdly kind today.

Shi: Thank goodness... We're useful.
