galacticnonsenseseAkira: …Did we include that in the conversation?
Rustica: Did I get it wrong?
Each and every instrument has its own distinct sound.
Rustica: You can make a song with just one.
There's no need to mix in other instruments.
Rustica: See. Isn't it just like a wizard?
As he said it, it made sense.
A strong personality, an intense sound, and a timbre next to no other.
In the worst case, I think that's fine. I'm not good at group projects either.
But, when it comes to fighting an incredibly strong enemy…
If there's something I could do to not lose anyone.
Akira: What makes a symphony work well?
Rustica smiled kindly.
His unwavering and call gaze made him seem like a prophet.
Rustica: While there are many elements to it, the most important one is the conductor.
Akira: …Conductor…
Rustica: That's right.
A conductor has to respect each sound, sometimes suppressing and sometimes bringing it out.
Rustica: To harmonise.
Rustica: A conductor needs to know each instrument's strength as well as weakness.
Rustica: In order to make rich music by layering each individual sound over and over again…
Rustica: You must be tolerant but cold to every instrument. Shhh, quietly…Now, loudly!
And then, bam!!
The sound of a cymbal echoed from somewhere, making my heart almost jump out of my heart.
Rustica: My apologies.
I seemed to have startled you.
Akira: N-Not at all…
Rustica: Giving someone orders for someone else, playing a melody for everyone, that's a conductor's job.
I felt my heart pounding, and not just because I got startled.
Isn't the amazingness of a conductor what you need to be a good Sage?
Even if it's impossible for me now, if I had a good conductor as a role model…
Even the wizards that can't coexist could maybe, even if for a second, coexist.
Akira: Rustica, is it alright if I ask you something else?
Rustica: What is it?
Akira: Assuming that everyone in the Magic Headquarters is familiar with musical instruments…
Akira: Who would be the most suitable as a conductor?
Rustica: Central would be Cain, East would be Faust, South would be Doctor Figaro, and North would be Bradley.
The words I wanted him to repeat before.
As I widened my eyes, Rustica titled his head out of curiosity.
Rustica: Oya?
Have I told you this before?
Akira: Rustica, what about West?
Out of everyone from Western country, who would be most suited as a conductor?
He thought about it for a bit before smiling.
Rustica: Perhaps it's me.
Akira: …That's right…
I'm so sorry if this comes off as rude but, what about Shylock?
Rustica smiled confidently.
The confidence wasn't for himself, but for his friends.
Rustica: Shylock, that virtuous friend of mine, so good at many things…
Rustica: I can't boil him down to one single thing.
Rustica: He can find beauty and richness in broken and distorted things.
Rustica: A love of raw and free souls.
Rustica: Completion, victory, achievements... Shylock doesn't put things that make everyone happy and secure on the shelves.
Rustica: Things that are unfinished, defeated, unexplored...
Rustica: All the beautiful things that were not rewarded because they were what they were.
Rustica: Shylock is someone who truly cares and respects them.
Rustica: Perhaps he could swing the baton by himself.
Rustica: But he'll just hurt himself. He doesn't want to decide the correct sound and arrange it.
Akira: Is Rustica good at that?
Rustica respectfully bowed to me.
A little pretentious, but reliable, gesture of a nobleman.
With the charm of a shooting star, Rustica closed one eye, flashing a smile.
Rustica: From a musician~
