Esther returned to the bedroom, and it was hard to tell whether she was nervous, wary, or excited, and she had to sit on the couch holding her hand, hard to believe that the score was from Norn.

She recalled what she had memorized just now, and although she didn't speak Russian, Asther could hum it slurred and intermittently, and some subtle inflections were more abrupt than the original song, but the overall difference was not much.

Coincidental? The legacy of the traverser? Russell the Great didn't leave this song behind! Are there other time-travelers in this world? But Noon, he-

"Why are you so excited, so noisy," Xiao Wu in his pocket popped up and said dissatisfiedly, "What's going on?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think everything is weird." Esther poked it in the head, causing Little Five's huge displeasure.

"Nothing you can do quietly! Panic and nothing helps! Xiao Wu scolded and shrank back.

Esther quickly calmed down after being interrupted from her thoughts, she agreed with Xiao Wu's words, and after taking a few deep breaths, she made up her mind to go to Norn to ask for clarification.

But her instincts moved, and someone was walking up the stairs and knocked on Esther's door first.

Calvin's languid and always smiling voice came from outside: "Luna? Are you in there? ”

Estra opened the door, and the wide sunglasses came into view: "Good evening, what's wrong?" ”

"Hear Richie say you're going to their Sunday concert?"

"Yes, go check it out, at least be a regular audience."

Galvin touched his chin: "Do you know how to play the violin?" ”

"No, it won't."

"It's a pity that the elves of music still have instruments that they don't understand?"

Esther said with a smile: "Just because I can play the piano doesn't mean I'm proficient in all instruments." Candela said that your violin doesn't play well, or you might as well be an audience member. ”

Calwin smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth, "Do as you command, dear little sheep. It's a shame I can't serenade you. ”

"Do you really know how to serenade?"

"Of course—no," Calvin's smile faded quickly, "a lady who is too perceptive will easily debunk the tricks of gentlemen, and will not be welcome." ”

Esther spread her hands indifferently, "I don't care about that. ”

"Doesn't Sunday affect your work? Madame Monette probably won't want to let go of this good opportunity, but everyone is looking forward to your coming, after all, it takes a lot of people to be lively. ”

"Of course I'll go, I'm not going to disappoint you, how can I say I'm also a member of the Seven Apartments on Lily of the Valley Street, right?" Esther laughed.

"Rich was just saying that you named that tune? Did Mr. Teacher secretly show you this? ”

Esther shook her head, "No, I just had an idea out of the blue, and I thought it was a good name." I was about to talk to Norn. ”

Calvin pointed to the door of room 602 behind him, "It's better to change the time." Mr. Teacher had been working for several days to write that song, and when he returned to his room this afternoon he still had dark circles under his eyes, and he should still be catching up on sleep. ”

"He's trying so hard?" Esther's original desire to verify was instantly lightened a lot, but she became worried about Norn's body, he seemed to be getting more and more haggard lately, which was a good confirmation of Calwin's words.

Calvin nodded, pushing his sunglasses, his eyes under the lenses were intently observing all the subtle changes in Esther's expression: "So we'd better be considerate of him, keep this surprise, and wait until the weekend to witness the masterpiece of 'Apartment Seven Orchestra'." Maybe I, as a viewer, will be able to laugh at Richie's whimsical to my heart's content. ”

"He deserves a good rest. Being a teacher is not an easy profession, after all, you have to teach so many children. ”

"Hey, that's an empathetic little sheep, if you have time right now, we can go to a nearby bar for a drink-"

"Bang!"

Esther's door was shut, and Calwin leaned back at the right time, avoiding the misfortune of having his nose smashed.

This is the method that Agnes taught Esther, specifically for Calwyn Lepreus's "way of getting along", Asther can't hit people as dashing as Candela, but she is already skilled at closing the door decisively.

Calwin rubbed the tip of his nose and chuckled, not in the slightest bit of frustration. He glanced back at Norn's closed door, knowing that his goal of stopping "Luna" from pacifying Norn had been achieved, and the smile on Calwin's face was joyful and sly.

Listening to voices you shouldn't be listening to and being attracted to them will certainly kill you, Mr. Teacher, how long can you keep going without getting out of control?

Calwin hummed the complete tune of a waltz and walked down the stairs.

——

Sunday afternoon is fast approaching.

Martha was rather embarrassed to allow Esther to take a leave of absence, offsetting her two Wednesday days off this week and next, and Esther readily agreed to such a grossly unfair exchange.

After all, Sunday is the most crowded time, and if Esther is not in the store, there will probably be half of the customers who are full of anticipation, and the remaining half will have a lot of complaints.

But that's all left to Martha's headaches, and Esther gets permission to take a leave of absence, and plans to spend the day with her friends in the apartment.

Esther put on her most accustomed linen dress and slim-fitting waistcoat, put on the broad-brimmed Bonet knitted hat she had bought two days ago, and cut her hair in front of the bust mirror. Passing by the shop, she fell in love with the design with the sunflower flower decoration, and it cost eight souls to buy it, which can be said to have caused the already not wealthy wallet to experience heavy bleeding.

Why is it so hard to save money!

Esther felt this every time she spent money, but it didn't stop her from piling up her desk with washi paper and pen, putting new clothes in her closet, covering her couch with a newly knitted woolen blanket, and recalling and humming the music in her head.

Soon ready, when Esther went downstairs, she found that Richie was already waiting at the door with an excited face, carrying a suitcase about half a meter long and wide, but no one else had come down except him.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've been practicing for a long time recently when I'm not in class, and I must be fine today!" Richie stood on his toes excitedly from time to time, and the freckles on his face glistened from the time everyone had lunch together.

Galvin was generous with the apartment owner today, and he booked a delivery lunch at an Intis restaurant early, but according to Calvin, the taste of this restaurant is not at all comparable to that of Serenzo in the West End, where the Ormere red wine and Intis foie gras are worth trying.

Esther was impressed at first, but after Norn quietly told her that the price of that wine was a hundred gold charts, the idea of giving it a try instantly became a joke.

As Norn handed Esther the fork and knife, he lowered his voice and told her, "Calwin never mentions his family, but he is never short of money. ”

Esther had to admit that she was a little envious.

Esther and Richie didn't wait long at the door of the apartment, and soon Agnes and Josephine came down arm-in-arm, and Agnes was covering her handbag to say something to Josephine, causing Josephine to laugh like silver bells.

When Candela, Norn, and Calwin had gathered downstairs, the group headed in the direction of Fountain Square.

Candela opened her shoulder bag, pulled out two sandhammers with colorful skull patterns from it, and stuffed them directly into Esther's hand: "You can just shake it twice." ”

Esther shook the instrument in her hand and listened to the "rustle" sound inside: "What about you?" ”

"I brought a drum with me, and because I was too lazy to spend money to buy it, I nailed one with a tin sheet." Candela said expressionlessly, "It's just to match Richie anyway." ”

"I've heard Richie say that Candela is very good at making things, and that wind chime by Josephine's window is his design, your work, and it's an admirable hands-on ability."

Candela's dark skin made it difficult for her to see that she was blushing, but her gaze was even more evasive, and she subconsciously fiddled with her feather earrings with her fingers: "That's nothing, if you like it, I can make one for you." ”

"That's not necessary, I'm just emotional."

Esther's eyes fell on the men walking in front of her, Agnes was scolding Galvin with her head held high, Josephine and Ritchie were laughing beside them, and Norn had a gentle smile on his face, but he was always two paces away from the others.

——

Many people are strolling in the Fountain Square on Lily of the Valley Street, and Sunday is a holiday for most people, men, women and children to take a walk in this area where the edge can be seen at a glance, enjoying the warm sun of the morning in Beckland.

Richie graciously stood in front of the fountain and opened the suitcase he was carrying, attracting the curious glances of several people next to him.

Candela pulled out a tin tambourine, Agnes pulled Josephine's triangle and her own harmonica out of her handbag, and Norn pulled out a few pieces of paper from his bosom, the sheet music was full of scribbles, the paper itself was full of wrinkles, and even two torn fractures, but barely intact.

Calwin sat on the edge of the fountain, his hands at his sides and looking up at the sky, looking rather bored as he watched the others prepare, not caring that the hem of his trench coat was wet with splashes.

Esther clenched the sand hammer in her hand, her heart racing: "None of us have rehearsed, is it really okay?" ”

"Of course it's fine, we're not professionals." Josephine comforted her, "Just come to the beat of Richie's music." ”

The harmonica is the accompaniment to the beginning, rising from a low key with a peculiar hum, and then a melodious accordion replaces the lead singer, controlling the main theme and direction of the song, making the overall atmosphere cheerful and high-spirited, the tin tambourine is beaten to a beat of three light and one empty, and the crisp triangle rings in every ease of the accordion.

It's messy, it's funny, and a song "Birch Forest" that is slightly out of tune because there is no unified command sounds in another world, making Esther's eyes gradually moisten.

Almost halfway through the performance, while the harmonica was playing, Richie looked at him suspiciously, and Josephine also looked strangely at Esther, who had never started to shake the hammer, and pushed the "orchestra member" who was in a daze with her elbow.

Esther instinctively stepped forward, her arms raised in front of her, as if she was holding a microphone instead of a painted skull, and she closed her eyes to resist the discomfort in her right eyebrow, and quickly revised the translation of the lyrics in her mind and converted them into Rune, completing the translation in a matter of seconds.

As the next accordion sounded, Esther spoke:

"Sitting by the path with your beloved deceased,

To know that I will come back and not to be sad,

The old woman waved goodbye to me,

The small door behind me closed slowly.

Why does the birch rustle in the dark places?

Why does the accordion sound so beautiful?

The fingertips of the wind swept by, and the leaves were scattered all over the sky,

And the last piece fell to the ground......"

Norn trembled, the score he had painstakingly "heard" fell to the ground, and he resisted the urge to laugh, and closed his eyes with tears streaming down his face, enjoying the song that had resonated with him, and with it the extraordinary power that had begun to stir up in those days.

The frantic whispers faded from Noon's ears, and the only voices left were echoing Esther's tender song.

Norn believes that he has found the Lord's "Zoya".

There were only two or three people in the square looking at it, but after the singing began more and more footsteps came to the place, surrounding the small but disorderly orchestra in the middle, the accordion lowered, and the harmonica echoed to the accompaniment, allowing the song to grow clearer and clearer.

Esther's voice was not loud, but it was infectious, turning the mood of the gathered people into a melancholy, as if they were walking into the story of the lyrics, resonating with the sad fate of being far away.

Invisible connections bring together people who don't necessarily know each other, and more and more people are showing tears on their faces. They don't even know why they're crying, but in the soft flow of the song, they have completely lost the ability to think about the situation except for the quiet tears.

Even the children in the strollers silently rubbed their weeping red eyes without making the slightest noise.

A few white doves folded their wings and landed beside the fountain, so quiet that they did not even make a cooing sound, and the two larks that heard the sound were even more daring and flew down on Esther's shoulders.

Josephine and Agnes also had tears on their faces, and Richie's eyes were as red as his hair, but he still had a big smile on his face, staring at Esther, who was focused on singing.

Calvin's eyes under the sunglasses widened more and more, there was fear, panic, and more unprovoked excitement and longing, he was probably the most sober person in the whole square, and when everyone was infected by the singing, Calwin took in their changes.

He looked at the blonde girl at the center of the song, and his heart was shocked.

The song still echoes, over the shoulders of the crowd and into the distance:

"My heart boils and burns again and again,

But there is no response.

Birch leaves fall off the shoulders,

Like me, leaving where I grew ......"

Calvin touched his cheek before realizing that tears were falling uncontrollably.
