There! Right there.

Oh, it's starting to sound a lot better...!

Yes, you're right.

Try doing that again for me.

O-Okay!

I get it now. I wasn't able to play the way I wanted because I was so focused on “playing properly”...

That seems to be the case...

But you should be able to play just fine now.

You can do it...!

Thanks...!

*Inhale*

*Gasp*

Wait, that sounded really good just now!

Hehe...!

L-Let me do that again...

I did it...!

I can make sounds using just the mouthpiece now!

If you can produce this much sound, then you should be able to play the trumpet just fine after reattaching it.

Oh, you think so?

Yes, as long as you remember this sensation. Would you like to give it a try?

Y-Yeah...!

Please let me try!

Okay.

Then, we'll reattach your mouthpiece to the trumpet and...

...

You should be able to play just fine now.

Try to stay relaxed.

Believe in yourself...

Hold the love you have for the sound of the trumpet in your heart, and play.

O-Okay...!

Breathe in... Breathe out...

I'm going to succeed.

I'm going to play...

*Gasp*

D-Did you hear that...?!

Yes...!

I heard it clearly!

That was a very beautiful sound.

I...! I did it...!

Thank you!

Thank you so much...!

Wow! You're playing like a pro now!

Congratulations.

That was beautiful.

*Nod*

I'm so glad you were able to play it.

Me too! And thank you two so much!

I definitely wouldn't have been able to if you hadn't brought me over here!

I'm going to remember what happened today for the rest of my life!

I'm going to keep practicing...

And perform in a concert someday!

That's wonderful.

I'll be looking forward to that day.

Hey!

We all have to meet back up now!

Oh! Hey, you guys!

Guess what?! I can play the trumpet for real now!

Wait, was that you playing just now?!

That's awesome!

Hehe!

I'm definitely going to play with you guys during our next concert!

Anyway, everyone!

Thank you all very much!

You're welcome.

I wasn't sure what was gonna happen at first, but I'm so glad things ended up working out!

Me too.

I'm so glad that I was able to help him.

Thank you both very much.

You two really saved the day for us.

Oh, also...

I'm really sorry about just demoing the instruments without actually making any purchases.

No, that's okay.

After all, this convention is about getting people interested in playing musical instruments. So, I really appreciate you for bringing him over.

Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

I felt genuine joy when he figured out how to play the trumpet the way he wanted.

Huh?

The way his eyes glittered reminded me of...

How thrilled I was the first time I ever touched a piano.

And the first time I was able to play beautiful music using my own two hands.

I see...

I also know that feeling.

You do?

Yes.

Because I also felt that incredible thrill when I played my dad's keyboard for the first time.

I still remember that sound vividly.

Each note seemed to sparkle and shine...

I hope that boy looks back upon this day in a similar manner.

Yes, so do I.

<We regret to inform all our attendees that Shibuya Instrument Day will be coming to a close momentarily.>

<We thank you all very much for visiting. Please make sure not to forget any of your belongings.>

Whoa, look at the time!

We gotta start packing up.

Oh, that's right. You two need to keep working after this.

Then, we'll excuse ourselves here.

Thank you both again for helping us today.

No, it was our pleasure.

I'm glad we got this chance to talk.

I hope we meet again soon.

Us too.

Thanks for visiting!

Get home safe, you two!
