Sakura:
Hm? What's that sound?
Elise:
Laaa ladi-da la-dee-daaa ♪ la dee dee daaa
Sakura:
Oh! H-hello, Elise. What kind of instrument are you playing? I've never seen anything like that in Hoshido.
Elise:
Oh, this? It's a violin!
Sakura:
A violin, huh? It sounds... g-gorgeous.
Elise:
Really? Thanks! I'm glad you like it. We've got all kinds of lovely stringed instruments in Nohr. This one's pretty small, but there are some huuuuuge ones too. I love violins though. They're so cute! Don't you think?
Sakura:
Yes, it's adorable! I didn't know you could play an instrument, though.
Elise:
Heehee. Yeah, I had to take lessons when I was younger. "A lady must know how to delight the ear and soul with music!" It's a weird thing all noble girls have to do. But princesses especially.
Sakura:
I see.
Elise:
I hated it at first, but now I love it! It's so much fun! Do you play any instruments?
Sakura:
I do! Back h-home, I played the koto.
Elise:
The koto?
Sakura:
Yes. It's a stringed instrument too, but it's not as small as the violin. And you can't play it while moving around. You must be sitting.
Elise:
Oh, wow! I'd love to hear you play one sometime! Will you play for me?
Sakura:
I would be delighted to, but I don't have one with me, so we'd have to find one.
Elise:
That's OK! Detective Princess Elise is on the case!
Sakura:
Teehee. She's so enthusiastic. I think we'll be g-good friends one day.

Elise:
Sakura? Sakura! SA! KU! RA!
Sakura:
Elise? Is s-something wrong?! Why are you so out of breath?
Elise:
I found someone who has a koto!
Sakura:
Huh? What do you mean?
Elise:
When we talked the other day, you said you'd play the koto for me, right? So I went into town and asked everyone there if they knew someone who had one!
Sakura:
Oh! You asked all those townspeople? I thought you were just going to check here in camp...
Elise:
I even asked them to bring it back here so you could play for me! Let's go!
Sakura:
Wah! Elise! P-please don't pull my arm so hard!
Elise:
Whoa! You're amazing, Sakura!! And the koto is so pretty! I didn't know a stringed instrument could sound like that! I wish I had half your talent!
Sakura:
You're much too kind. There's no need for such f-flattery, you know.
Elise:
It's not flattery! I really mean it! Oh! I just had a great idea! We should play together sometime! You on the koto, and me on the violin!
Sakura:
Together? You mean as a duet?
Elise:
Yeah! Doesn't that sound like fun?
Sakura:
It does, but Nohrian and Hoshidan music are so different... Do you really think we can find a song that will match both our instruments?
Elise:
Hm, you're right. I didn't consider that. But there's got to be at least one song out there that will! We'll find it. I just know it.
Sakura:
Heehee. Yes, perhaps. Come, let's get our sheet music and see what we have.
Elise:
YAY! We'll find the perfect song in no time!

Elise:
Yahoo! We did it! We actually played a song together!
Sakura:
It was exhilarating! I've never performed a duet with a N-Nohrian musician before.
Elise:
So what did you think? I don't think it was half-bad considering it was our first time!
Sakura:
I agree. There are parts we could surely improve upon, but overall? A success!
Elise:
Yup! And the contrast between the two instruments was so neat! I bet no one's ever played music quite like that before! We're geniuses!
Sakura:
Haha. Perhaps we could try to find some other songs as well. It would be lovely if we could keep p-playing together.
Elise:
Agreed!
Sakura:
I just hope we can get in the time to practice with the war going on...
Elise:
True. Well, maybe someday, when we finally have peace, we can still do this together. Then we could gather people from both kingdoms for a huge concert!
Sakura:
I think that's a w-wonderful idea. Each song could be performed using instruments from each country. It would inspire our people to truly come together as one.
Elise:
I can see it now! I bet people will remember it for generations!
Sakura:
One can only hope. But we have a long road ahead of us before that day.
Elise:
That's OK. I don't mind so long as we walk that road together.
Sakura:
We will! From now on, we'll always be friends!
