@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken Brock nodded. "Now to think up two such melodies. Failing that, we can look for sheet music somewhere."
"You could even try composing a song, if you desire. It would take a bit longer, but if we search for sheet music we're relying on pure chance."
@ChocoChicken Brock smiled. "That, and composing would be a lot less work than tracking down sheet music. The next town we reach, I plan to buy some blank sheet music and start writing."
"Well, at least you've got plenty of inspiration already," Maria remarked. How much further to the temple, anyway? Evergreen asked.
@122 Generation Brock looked at the map. "The temple is further than it seems. Luckily, there are towns along the way."
So... it's at least a day or two until we get there, Evergreen replied. "Suppose we might encounter bandits or the like along the way," Maria added. "Well, onward."
@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken Midori could keep bandits away." Brock mused. "I would also need time to compose and then practice both of my pieces."
@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken Brock wasn't sure about Mel's request. "Well, how do you think you could help write music?"
They both looked down. "I... I . We hoped" as they both gazed towards Maria. "Big sis. What can we do"
Hear that, Maria? Mel just called you onee-chan. Evergreen giggled. "Well... uh..." Maria blanked for a moment. "You could help with providing feedback. Just listen to what Brock plays and pick out the parts you like and the ones you don't."
@122 Generation Brock nodded in agreement. "There's an idea...once I have some music paper to write on, and a harp to work out ideas..." (a harp functions like a piano would in this world.)
"That won't happen until we get to the next town," Maria replied. "How much further, anyway, to the next town and the temple?"
@122 Generation "The next town is not far." Brock replied. "The temple takes about four days' journey in good conditions."
@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken "I believe we can." Misty interjected. "We couldn't have come this far on our own.
@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken The way to town was uneventful. Ash lead the way to scout ahead. Brock followed him, and the girls and the group were next.
Maria still had a worried thought in her mind. So far she hadn't found any clues as to how to get home. The journey so far had been eventful, but they weren't getting any closer to the answers they wanted. Maybe it might be because they had a mission to complete in this world? Pushing her thoughts aside, Maria and Evergreen went into town.
@Tala Is Eternal @122 Generation @Jupjami @ChocoChicken The town here was a far cry from where the group had left. It was quiet, peaceful, and as far as the group knew, trouble-free.
