Ohanabatake no Maousama

It was an old bar.

The door opens and the dusty wind enters with the light of twilight.

When a customer or shop owner looks at the source, there is a traveler dressed in a faded and produced cloak. He told the barkeeper that he had removed something like a bellows box from his large luggage.

"Is it okay to sing one song?" "Hm. I'll give you 10% of the rise. Sing where you like."

With the barkeeper's consent, the man ... the bard of the journey camps in the corner of the room, borrows a chair with no guests, and places his feet on the chair. She supported the knees of her feet on the chair and spread out the instrument, like a box with bellows. accordion?

Called "the devil's instrument" because of its difficulty in playing, it is a beloved instrument that is played by the people as a dignified Argentine tango rhythm because it plays a more vivid sound than the accordion.

The bard calls out to the crowd in a tough voice.

"Well, everyone in the tavern. I'd be grateful if you listened to me for a while. The song I sing tonight is a song that's so famous that you might have expected it and now it's a proverb."

When his instrument strums a mournful melody with a greeting, the voices of the people calm down, as if the tide were rising. In such silence, surprisingly masculine, thick and long fingers move smoothly, and the bellows that stretch and shrink breathe into the old story, exhaling the illusion of music.

The bard then gave the song the name you expected.

"It's the story of a devil who loved people too much and a girl who had a disproportionate dream.
