Subaru:  Reflecting the events and trends of the time, many 70s folksongs were melancholy love songs. Even without the lyrics, the ephemeral mood was embedded in the music. As the two girls listened to Subaru play, their eyes filled with grief and loneliness. Their rapt expressions tantalized Subaru. Seeing their faces made his heart smolder with pain—

Subaru:  “Secret technique! Teeth-Guitar—ARRRGH!”

Rem:  “Su-Subaru?! Oh no! How could you do something so foolish? !”

Emilia:  “Subaru?! Ah, how could you be so foolish? !”

Subaru:  “Not in stereo, please…owowowow—ow-ow-ow!” In an attempt to liven up the somber performance, Subaru’s teeth and gums were utterly savaged by the freshly tightened strings of the lyulyre. His tooth-picking stunt was an ultra-difficult feat that only top guitarists could accomplish after extensive training. Naturally, this was too much for a third-rate guitarist like Subaru. It was a bloody disaster.

Rem:  “Nononono…no pain? Wow, it’s actually gone! Ahh, man, that hurt. Thanks, Rem.” Rem had cupped Subaru’s yowling face and cast a healing spell that emitted a faint blue light. Subaru was grateful to feel the pain fade away as the cuts on his gums closed.

Subaru:  “Sorry, my bad. It’s just, I know it’s technically my fault, but I didn’t like my song choice. Don’t blame ’70s folk. Blame me for choosing a song that clashed with the mood.” If he was going to play a song, it might as well be something lighthearted that both girls would enjoy.

Subaru:  “I’ll play that last song some other time. Be patient, Emilia-tan.”

Emilia:  “Huh? I don’t exactly see what I need to be patient for, but okay. So…is the performance over? Are those all the songs you know, Subaru?”

Subaru:  Subaru was relieved to see that, to his surprise, Emilia looked like she wanted to hear more. Song choice aside, Subaru had piqued Emilia’s interest in his playing. And since Rem didn’t have anything to add, she appeared to feel the same way as Emilia. Their interest in Subaru’s music—who would have gotten himself worked up regardless of any interest—made him eager to live up to their expectations.

Subaru:  “And yet, the only songs I practiced are 70s folk—the tragedy!
