*sounds of instruments

 

Soshu & Hibiku: Sigh...

Takara: Um, is it just my imagination? It seems this isn't working very well...

Ousei: Ahh...It's weird. I wonder why it's like this?

Hibiku: ...Shall we try it again?

 

* They started playing their instruments again.

 

Soshu: What's going on...!? Why aren't our sounds coming together?!!

Ousei: W-well anyway, calm down, Soshu! It's the first time we are all playing together so something like this can happen.

Soshu: But still!!

Minato: What's going on... It's not pretty at all. The sounds, the colors--they're all a mess.

Soshu: Excuse me, you can't say that---

 

* Minato starts playing the trumpet.

 

Soshu: Don't just start playing as you want right after you talk like that!

Takara: ....Hm? But when Minato was the only one playing, it sounds clean and pretty.

Ousei: Hnn...why does it suddenly sound bad when we combine the sounds?

 

* The door suddenly opens.

 

Sensei: --Ah, I had a feeling you guys were the ones in here. When the vice principal said someone borrowed the key to the music room, I decided to check how things are...

Ousei: Ah, Sensei!

 

---

 

Sensei: I see....so you can't combine your sounds together properly.

Sensei: ...Iizuka-kun, won't you try playing one more time?

Minato: OK.

 

* Minato starts playing the trumpet.

 

Ousei: Ahh, I see. He's not playing off the music sheet!

Hibiku: Now that I see it, I notice that Minato doesn't look at the music sheet when playing. Why is that?

Minato: Eh? I don't really read music sheets.

Soshu: ...What did you say?

Ousei: Then, how are you able to play all this time?

Minato: How? Well, it's enough if I listen to it once.

Ousei: Are you serious?

Hibiku: ...What an amazing talent.

Sensei: Then for Iizuka-kun, instead of looking at the music sheet, listen to the actual music and grasp it. Is there someone here who can play the trumpet's melody? You can play using your own instrument.

Soshu: Well, it's not like we can't do it. I can set the melody.

Sensei: Then, please do, Kaneko-kun.

Soshu: Oh well... Listen carefully, Minato.

 

* Soshu plays the flute.

 

Soshu: Is that alright?

Minato: I got it.

Takara: ...Eh? You already got it?

Minato: Yup. It's enough.

 

* Minato plays the trumpet.

 

Minato: ---It's like that, right?

Sensei: (He really got the melody line perfectly after hearing it once...)

Sensei: Then, don't forget how that felt. Check your timing and tempo.

Sensei: Then, Kiyoshima-kun and um...

Hibiku: I'm Mito Hibiku from Section E. Then while those two are working on their music, we'll move forward with practicing the ensemble.

Sensei: Ah, yes. It'll help a lot if you do.

Sensei: Once we confirm the timing, you can try playing together again.
