Mayor Maybelle quickly finished writing the letter and handed it to Estelle and Uchiha Madara. "Keep this letter safe. I believe that once you reach Haken Gate, the soldiers on guard will let you meet General Morgan after they see this letter of introduction. Just make sure to act according to the situation when the time comes."
Uchiha Madara accepted the letter and thanked her. "Thank you, Mayor Maybelle. Then we'll be on our way."
Dragging their weary feet, Estelle and Joshua finally arrived at Haken Gate. They handed the letter of introduction to the captain of the garrison there. The captain said, "Since you were referred by Mayor Maybelle, I'll report to General Morgan. Wait here and don't wander around."
Uchiha Madara smiled. "We understand. Please rest assured."
After the captain left, Uchiha Madara and the others suddenly heard a strange sound.
It sounded like... a lute.
This lute looked somewhat like a guitar. It had six strings as well, and its sound was exceptionally beautiful.
But would there really be a soldier playing the lute in Liberl? They had heard that Liberl was not particularly renowned for its arts. Rather, it was the artistic standards of Crossbell, an independent city situated between the Erebonian Empire and the Calvard Republic, that were more famous.
Joshua was originally from the Erebonian Empire, and he knew that this kind of lute was more popular there. Could there be someone from the Empire here?

When we have each other, the skies are clear; In the gentle rain, I sleep beside you. Who can remain, who can depend, When the song ends,
