When we arrived in this clearing, I stopped throwing out the Moon Blossom powder.


    Seeing this, everyone couldn''t help looking at me with a strange look.


    Haley took the lead and asked, "Why aren''t you throwing out more of that powder? Where do we go if we don''t have the path?"


    I just simply said, "We''re here."


    "We''re here?" Most of the group repeated before looking around the clearing.


    However, they weren''t able to see a single thing in this clearing.


    Other than a small pond that was right in the middle, there was only greenery around them. They couldn''t see anything that would suggest that there was a trace of the elves in this area.


    So they all turned back and looked at me with strange looks.


    I didn''t mind them and just turned to look at the pond in the center of this clearing.


    After staring at it for a bit, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ocarina that I obtained this afternoon.


    The rest of the group just looked at the ocarina without reacting much. The only real reaction that they thought was that this thing really had a strange shape.


    But for Haley and Cecilia, they couldn''t help knitting their brows because they hade with me to find this ocarina.


    They knew that I had said that this thing was the item that I wanted to use to help us meet the elves. It was just that they couldn''t understand how this strange looking instrument would allow us to meet the elves.


    I brought the breath hole of the ocarina up to my mouth and took a deep breath before realizing that there was a problem.


    I didn''t know how to y this thing!


    I had beenpletely focused on my knowledge from the game that I had forgotten about this problem.


    After all, I thought that I would be able to use this ocarina just like I had in the game.


    But of course, it wasn''t as if prompts would appear in front of me now that I was actually in this world. If I wanted to y this ocarina, I had to actually put my fingers on the holes and cover them to change the notes.


    It was just too bad that I had no idea how to do that.


    When I let the breath that I had been holding out, there was a strange and awkward sound that came from the ocarina.


    Hearing this, all of the other members of the group looked at me with a strange look that also had a bit of pity in it. It was almost as if they were looking at me like I had gone crazy which made me feel awkward.


    There was a silence that filled the air until Haley finally came to my rescue by saying, "Do you want me to y it? This ocarina looks a bit strange, but I think I can figure it out by testing it a bit."


    I looked at her like she was my saviour and I was very tempted to give the ocarina to her, but then I remembered what would happen after the ocarina was yed. In the end, I shook my head and said, "Can you just teach me quickly? It''s just a few notes that I need to learn."


    Haley gave a nod in response and she came over to my side to inspect the ocarina.


    Since it was a strange shape, she had to figure out which holes did what to know how to form the different notes.


    It had to be said that Haley really was talented.


    It only took less than two minutes of fiddling with the ocarina to figure out exactly how to y it. By the time that she was done, she was already ying a beautiful tone on the ocarina without any difficulty.


    It really made me feel inferior, but I sucked it up and she began teaching me how to y it.


    The problem came afterwards.


    The song that I wanted her to teach me was just a few notes, so it should have been easy.


    However, my own ineptitude really made it hard for her to teach me this.


    What would have taken a normal person several minutes to learn, I had to learn over and over again for an entire half an hour to learn. Even then, the way that I yed the tone really sounded like it was cat wailing instead of actual music.


    I didn''t know that I was this unskilled with music in the first ce.


    Back when I was on Earth, I had thought that I was quite good at it. I liked to sing in the shower and I liked to sing whenever I was rxing, but I realized that this didn''t mean that I was good at it.


    After all, I had never once sung in front of another person.


    That was why I never knew just how bad I really was.


    The faces of the other members of the group were twisted, but Haley kept a smile on her face the entire time while teaching me. She should have suffered the most from being this close to my awful ying, but she kept her lips in a smile the whole time.


    Though…I could see a twitch from those lips from time to time.


    In the end though, I was able to learn the song.


    I thanked Haley who still had the same smile on her face before turning to look at the pond. Though I didn''t mention how it almost seemed like that smile seemed like it was glued to Haley''s face instead of her showing it naturally.


    I had only yed parts of the song before this and not the entire song since I didn''t know if it would do anything, but now it was time to y the entire song.


    Though…most of the group covered their ears while I was ying.


    By the end of it, there was only silence that filled the air.


    This silence really made me think that I had made a mistake or that my ying wasn''t good enough…


    So I was about to turn around and ask Haley for help.


    But before I could, there was a bubbling sound that rang out.
