It started with a small round of applause, and soon there was a huge ovation on the street.

The last sentence was not in the "Tragic Song of Arken" that I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Surely in the afterlife..." bit.

The last sentence was probably added by Amaranthia on her own.

Poems change in various ways, depending on the singer's own arrangement.

The "Tragic Love Song of Arken" is a poem that makes me feel sad no matter how many times I hear it. Amaranthia's narration was also exceptional.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The audience was drawn into the story and found themselves emotionally involved with the characters, feeling sadness and even suffocation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The audience could be heard sobbing from time to time.

Amaranthia, who had been quite good as an escort, also seemed to be quite skilled as a bard.

Uh...uh..."

And next to me, Loloi was sniffling and shedding tears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had never heard a bard sing a poem before. My heart was so tight, I couldn't stop crying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For a first-time listener, this may have seemed like a heavy piece of music.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia's exquisite narration drew us into the story, and Loloi was so emotionally involved that he looked amazing.

There are many more pop and pleasant adventure stories sung by minstrels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are many more pop and accessible tales of adventure in the bard's songs, which are more mainstream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are also stories about treasure hunters, which Loloi seems to like. I'll ask the bard if I see him again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying this, I patted Loloi on the shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Loloi turned his head and nodded his head several times, crying, and then suddenly jumped up and shouted, "But..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But. I knew tragedy was not good!　Clarice and Burgess must be married as soon as possible!　If we let those two go on like this, they'll probably end up like Arken's tragic love song now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We can't let this happen!　I'm going to have a strategy meeting with Clarice right away!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, he ran off at a speed that sounded onomatopoeic, like he was about to make an onomatopoeic sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, hey, hey...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't leave me (the escort target) behind!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please don't go home alone first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, I can't go after Loloi right away because I have business with Amaranthia here too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm still a little...no, a lot worried about the more than 300,000 mana (my + Loloi's share) in my pocket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's make this quick.

Amaranthia...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I called out to Amaranthia, who was cleaning up after the show.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, my dear merchant guest. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't touch the singer."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia's dark skin and a few shiny ornaments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And Amaranthia, who was dressed like a dancer, said that with a bit of a droll smile on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good," Amaranthia, dressed like a dancer, said in a slightly bemused tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was wondering what to do if they had forgotten about me or something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was wondering what if they had forgotten about me or something. I just came to thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there something wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia nodded her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia nodded her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My herbs sold thanks to Amaranthia. I heard you did a good job promoting it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I just happened to apply it to an adventurer who was wounded in front of me. That medicine worked really well, so it was the original power of that medicine, not mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad to hear that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems he remembered me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still. Amaranthia was the catalyst.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then...your gratitude... I'll convert it into mana and put it in here..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these words, he indicated the box to collect the money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...You're still as cheeky as ever," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is Amaranthia going to be in town for a while?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I asked Amaranthia as I put 200 mana in the box.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I doubled the amount I had expected, including Loloi's share.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia looked at the amount I had put in, bowed deeply, and continued talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "Yes, that's right. I think I'll stick around until the central auction is over.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, during the kirket auction, there will be some time for the bards to perform as entertainment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And if you are chosen to be a part of that performance, you will have a foil as a minstrel. It is also said that the bards can make a lot of money later on, including the possibility of having connections with the nobles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For this reason, they are now working hard to put on performances in places that are likely to attract the attention of nobles and auctioneers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The world of bards is a tough place to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia seemed to be planning to sing one more performance after moving a little closer to the inner gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia can do it," he said. My party members seemed to like Amaranthia's singing a lot. Please let me hear her sing again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I told Amaranthia that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I left the place as quickly as I could.
