New World, Elegia Kingdom.
Elegia Music Academy, inside an exceptionally magnificent opera house.
Uta stood on the stage like the moon surrounded by stars, encircled by musicians and professionals below. Sheet music after sheet music was delivered to the young girl.
Elegia's king, Gordon, had originally wanted to invite Uta to stay in the country. There were many outstanding musicians here and the finest musical resources; he could devote the entire nation's strength to nurturing her.
As for the reason...
There was none other than Uta's astonishing talent!
Music was something that placed great importance on talent. To become a top-tier musician, without talent, no amount of effort would amount to anything!
Reality was just like that. Some ordinary people who loved music initially believed that through hard work, they could surpass and outpace those geniuses.
But...
After putting themselves through relentless, desperate effort, they would discover that they had been blocked by a wall of sighs known as "talent."
They could not break through those shackles even in their entire lives, while gifted geniuses could casually pass through them, go farther than them, and achieve even more outstanding accomplishments!
If ordinary musical geniuses were people whom heaven had blessed with a living, then Uta was someone heaven chased after to feed...
The gap between them was simply worlds apart!
Gordon even suspected that Uta was an angel sent by heaven to descend into the human world and spread the sounds of nature.
To that end, Gordon had patiently tried to persuade Uta, hoping she would stay. Unfortunately, the little girl only wanted to follow Red-Haired Shanks around the world and had no desire to remain in Elegia Kingdom. Moreover, she would be leaving with the Red Hair Pirates tomorrow...
Left with no choice, Gordon held a grand musical gala.
