pukanavisLocation: Downtown
Yamato: (I think I'm getting better now...but people still aren't stopping to listen though.)
(But that doesn't bother me. My idol practiced like this too. If I follow his example...I'm certain I'll improve.)
(Even if no one is listening...wait, what? That man over there is watching me...)
...?
???: Ah, so it really is one of the children from Fujin Rizing.
Yamato: You...you're the vocalist for Fantôme...
Felix: Indeed, I am Felix of Fantôme Iris. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Yamato: ...Same to you. I'm Tsubaki Yamato from Furai.
Felix: I was out for a stroll when my ears were met with the sound of a familiar guitar. That's how I happened upon you.
Out of curiosity, what is it that you're doing here? To me it seems as if you're simply playing your guitar.
Yamato: This is warrior training.
Felix: Warrior training? Don't samurai undergo such a thing?
Yamato: I messed up real bad during our last live...so I need to get a lot better at playing the guitar.
I'm doing street performances as part of my warrior training.
Felix: I see. Such a stoic attitude certainly feels akin to a samurai!
Even so...I feel as if you're mistaken.
Yamato: Mistaken?
Felix: I've been watching you from afar for a while and all I've seen you do is mere practice. This is far from a street performance.
Would it not be more beneficial to practice alongside your colleagues in a studio?
Yamato: ...But, the guitarist I admire uses busking to practice when he messes up during a live.
So I'm doing the same.
Felix: I see...it's quite apparent that you've misunderstood!
Yamato: Huh?
Felix: The street is one of the easiest yet most strenuous stages to perform on.
Anyone can stand up to the challenge but not everyone can captivate an audience.
To draw in a stranger and convince them to listen to your melodies is a troublesome task.
Yamato: I'm fine with no one listening to me...
Felix: That won't do, Yamato. You're on the street for the sake of performing. Further more, the people walking by have no choice but to hear the noise you're making.
Did such a thing cross your mind?
Yamato: ...
Felix: Perhaps...the guitarist you admire began performing on the street to undergo such an experience?
Yamato: ...What do you mean?
Felix: The experience of delivering sweet melodies to those unbeknownst to you, rather than the guests who come to support you at live houses.
Perhaps that is what his "warrior training" was.
Yamato: ...Yeah.
Felix: Lovely, it appears you understand! Now then...let's get to it!
Yamato: ...Huh? What...do you mean?
Felix: The street performance of course!
ーMeanwhileー
Futa: (Yamato...where are you...?)
Woman on the street: Hey, have you heard!? There's a really cool live going on over there!
It's a duo between a guitarist who looks to be in university and really incredible vocalist who seems to be a foreigner!
Futa: ...Huh?
That's the sound of Yamato's guitar! But...
Whose voice is this!?
