Larose
Are you ready for the Song of Beauty from the planet of canticles, dear {M#sir}{F#lady}?
Options
The planet of canticles?
The Song of Beauty?
Larose
I see, you are not familiar with my music. Let me introduce it to you: Have you ever heard of the name "Mendasia"?
Options
Is that the name of the planet of canticles?
Is it someone's name?
Is it some sort of food?
Larose
Yes, it was once an artistic paradise in the universe, but it no longer exists.
Larose
Someone's name... Well, if you compare it to "someone," then she must be a goddess of immortal beauty. It's actually the name of the planet of canticles.
Larose
Some sort of food... Hehe, it's actually the name of the planet of canticles, but your joke relates to its ultimate fate.
Larose
Since the dawn of civilization, Mendasia has believed in the Beauty. Idrila bestowed upon us the Wall of Mirrors that shielded us from plagues. Henceforth, the world concealed its traces in the star ocean, and only a few knew of its existence.
Larose
Gradually, it became a peaceful wonderland where people indulged in feasts and drinks in the forest of flowers, explored and sang in praise of the Beauty, referring to their homeland as the planet of canticles.
Larose
However, as the Beauty disappeared, the blessings she left behind gradually crumbled... Approximately two Amber Eras ago, the Wall of Mirrors collapsed entirely, and soon after, like a vulnerable butterfly, Mendasia was swallowed by a terrifying interstellar beast.
Larose
The surviving Mendasians have been wandering ever since, and no one believes in the paradise spoken of by those refugees. Only a few musical pieces, known as the "Song of Beauty," serve as evidence of the existence of the planet of canticles...
Larose
The enchanting realm of the Beauty has faded, and if its remaining art withers away, the crown of cosmic art will lose one of its brightest jewels. With each additional listener, the enduring flame of art will shine brighter. So, I hope you can support my performance.
Options
I'll definitely support you!
I'm not interested in musical performances.
Larose
Thank you for your support. I salute you on behalf of the Beauty.
Larose
Oh, what a shame... It's one of the few legacies that the Beauty has left behind in the universe.
Larose
I will continue to preserve the "Song of Beauty," for the sake of the planet of canticles and the precious beauty of the universe.
Larose has completed her performance. Speak with her.
Tick... tock! Quick, adjust the hands... Tick, tock!
People's minds await your exploration. Help them regain their true selves!
People's minds await your exploration. Help them regain their true selves!
Larose
I never imagined I would perform the Song of Beauty in front of everyone, but...
Larose
Ah, it's been such a long time! My manager should be coming for me!
Larose
I'm sorry, but I must go back to Oti Mall to distribute brochures... Dear {M#sir}{F#lady}, could you please ask about the audience's thoughts on my new song? I would greatly appreciate it!
Investigate the audience's opinions toward Larose's performance.
Larose
See you later. I look forward to seeing you in the audience.
Larose
Dear {M#sir}{F#lady}, could you please ask the audience for their thoughts? It holds great importance to me...
Harsh Listener
Tsk... I heard that there's someone at Penacony who could sing "the Song of Beauty," so I didn't even blink when I bought the ticket for the performance... What a disappointment.
Harsh Listener
I know all about this marketing gimmick. They create the buzz and then pull off this ridiculous act to cash in on the hype. If this so-called Song of Beauty actually worked, the tune I hum in the shower would have resurrected Idrila ages ago!
Harsh Listener
I must find a way to resell my ticket. Rather than wasting time listening to this nonsense, I'd prefer to enjoy Robin's songs at the hotel.
Excited Listener
What a shame... Larose has changed! It's an offense to us, her greatest fans! It's an insult! A betrayal!
Excited Listener
We adore the noble and elegant Larose, who sings soft songs with her sweet voice... That is the true Song of Beauty, not this repugnant mishmash!
Excited Listener
I really wish she could return to her previous self and stop teasing her fans with such weird noises. Otherwise, how will we face our fellow music fans...
Elegant Listener
What an avant-garde style of music... worthy of admiration. Larose is truly an artist in her own right, managing to be famous while pushing the boundaries of music and art!
Curious Listener
Come on! If she hadn't told me that she would sing a song, I might have reported to the Bloodhound Family that someone was making a scene on the street.
Elegant Listener
How putrid. This is called... experimental music! It's radical, pure, and an extreme form of self-expression, but you can't grasp it at all, can you?
Curious Listener
No, I don't understand it a bit. Why don't you explain what makes this song so remarkable?
Elegant Listener
Um... Think about it... Why did Larose scream on stage? Doesn't it resemble the wailing of losers trapped in a nightmare? Through her voice, she captures that very scenario, expressing the pain felt by Dreamchasers who are unable to fulfill their dreams!
Curious Listener
I'm not sure if she's trying to express pure pain, but it can definitely be a real pain for the audience to endure.
Elegant Listener
That's art, surpassing your mundane grasp! In my humble opinion, she was singing about people like you, whose lives aren't as fulfilling as they wish them to be.

Report the audience's feedback to Larose.
Larose
Dear {M#sir}{F#lady}, thank you for your support earlier. Have you asked the audience about their thoughts?
Options
Their reviews are mixed.
Most of the reviews are negative.
M—Most of the reviews... are positive!
Larose
That's understandable... I suppose I was too naive. My manager was right: Music with such a unique style is unlikely to be appreciated by everyone.
Larose
Unfortunately, it can't be helped. For those who appreciate popular songs, Mendasian music is undoubtedly a departure from the conventional aesthetic.
Larose
You are very kind, but there is no need to be overly concerned about my feelings. Actually, I have received my fair share of criticism.
Larose
It's just that I haven't performed my favorite music in so long that I was overwhelmed with joy when I finally sang it again... However, I already began to regret it as soon as I stepped onto the stage.
Larose
I've been a famous songstress in Penacony for a long time. How could I not know what kind of music the market prefers? The moment I opened my mouth, I already foresaw the outcome.
Larose
I thought that with my reputation and fans, I could make people appreciate the true essence of the Song of Beauty... but I forgot that I achieved everything through deception. By abandoning the falsehoods, I gave up everything I had.
Options
You can perform your favorite music from scratch.
There's nothing to fear in letting go of everything.
Larose
No... I can't, and I won't do that.
Larose
But to me, dear {M#sir}{F#lady}, there are no things more terrifying than that.
Larose
At the end of my performance, when I saw those disapproving glances and heard no cheers or applause in my ears, it felt as though I was being torn apart by the most terrible nightmare...
Larose
...I experienced unimaginable pain, more agonizing than the destruction of my home planet or the demise of the Beauty.
Larose
It was then that I fully realized that my desire was not for everyone to appreciate the Song of Beauty, but for everyone to appreciate Larose. It turns out that I love myself more than Mendasia and the Goddess of Beauty.
Larose
"...Mendasia! Mendasia! Tuven arztis liberan sanam! Nururisha Idrila bfularun!"
System
Larose sings the Song of Beauty once again, her voice as low, hoarse, savage, and rough as before, but no longer filled with vigor and joy. Instead, it became an unbridled catharsis of long-suppressed pain.
Larose
Dear {M#sir}{F#lady}, I'm afraid you will be the last listener of the Song of Beauty. I will tuck it away and never perform it again... and continue singing those vulgar lies, deriving satisfaction from the applause and cheers.
Larose
Yes, this is the real Larose. Will you continue supporting me like this, dear {M#sir}{F#lady}?
Options
I'll continue supporting you.
I won't support you anymore.
Larose
Thank you for your unwavering support. You are truly a kind listener.
Larose
I won't let you down. Even if it's a fabricated lie, I will make it more melodious.
Larose
Well... I can understand that. After all, I'm using the reputation of the Beauty and the planet of canticles to deceive my adoring audience and take advantage of them. It's excessive in your eyes, isn't it?
Larose
But I have made my decision. So, if you despise me, be prepared. I will work even harder to gain public attention and become a singer known by everyone.
Larose
Anyway, thank you for awakening me from my false dreams... Now, I have discovered my true aspirations, and I'm willing to go to any lengths to pursue them.
Excited Listener

Larose
Anyway, thank you for awakening me from my false dreams... Now, I have discovered my true aspirations, and I'm willing to go to any lengths to pursue them.
Larose
From the start, my goal was to achieve success and fame, rather than the calling of passing on the art.
System
Larose's expression calms down, her smile fading at the corners of her mouth as she murmurs in a low voice.
Larose
I can still vividly recall my childhood days, singing songs with my relatives. Most of our performances were meant to satisfy people's curiosity and showcase that humans could create such unique sounds. While we called ourselves singers, we weren't much different from those Trotters who entertain with daring acts in the Cirque du Soucoupe.
Larose
At first, I genuinely believed the Song of Beauty was truly beautiful. However, when nobody appreciated it, I started contemplating giving up singing... until an interstellar traffic accident left us stranded on a world maimed by Dr. Primitive.
Larose
The inhabitants of that world had been transformed into apes through malicious experiments. Though they couldn't grasp complex music, they were naturally drawn to our primitive and ancient songs.
Larose
As I practiced my songs in the camp, these natives cheered me on with their remaining intelligence, and I found a reason to continue singing through their applause — validation from others.
Larose
Yes, the pursuit of art, the legacy of my homeland, and the faith for the Beauty... They were all mere empty words I used to deceive myself. In truth, I sang solely for the admiration of the audience right from the start.
Larose
When the time comes, neither my audience nor my manager will be able to confine my voice. I will have the freedom to express myself through the songs I truly desire to sing!
System
Larose's smile grows more confident, as if she were standing on a stage in the spotlight.
Larose
Phew... Now that I've untangled the knots that plagued me for years, I can finally dedicate myself completely to my career.
Larose
I will become a superstar even greater than Robin, a universally adored singer! Even a simple burp of mine will send fans into a frenzy!
Larose
And when that time comes... I might just be able to sing Mendasian music again, with nobody having the right to stop me. Everyone will marvel at the art they once despised, defending me with various artistic theories and showering me with countless accolades!
Larose
Unshackled by responsibilities, unconcerned with market trends, and able to sing anything while reaping success solely based on reputation — I must become a singer like this.
Larose
While an eagle effortlessly soars high by riding the wind, I must defy the wind and my own desires to reach the sky...
System
Larose's resolute expression fades, and you catch a sigh as the flickering neon lights on the street corner reflect in her eyes.
Larose
Dear {M#sir}{F#lady}... Do you think Robin has experienced the same pain as I do?
Larose
I am certain she has not. She is the pride of her family, immersed in the study of elegant harmonies since childhood. Her tastes align with her family's, and her aesthetics align with the world's.
Larose
On the other hand, I am the humble remnant of a fallen Aeon, raised with a passion for unconventional music, nurturing a sense of aesthetics that doesn't conform. My world and I are outcasts of time. We will never truly comprehend the world, and the world will never fully embrace us.
Larose
I love my homeland I have never seen, and I cherish the utopia found only in stories... Yet at times, I resent my origins. If I had not been born as a child of the planet of canticles but instead in Penacony, would my heartfelt singing have garnered recognition?
Larose
*sigh* I was born in a night hawk's humble nest, yet I yearn for the sunlit heights. While an eagle effortlessly soars high by riding the wind, I must defy the wind and my own desires to reach the sky...
Larose
One day... one day, I will pulverize your arrogance! You will all become stepping stones on my path to fame!
System
Larose's brows are knitted tightly as her shoulders tremble with the roiling fury within her soul.
Larose
How much longer do I have to sing songs I hate, do things I have no interest in, and cater to an audience with no taste... just to make it to the big stage?
Larose
Do you know what happened when I first asked her to add the "Song of Beauty" to the setlist?
Larose
With a bright smile on her face, she agreed and promised to arrange a performance for me in a month. I spent my days practicing, eagerly looking forward to the show, but she didn't provide any details during that period, simply instructing me to be prepared.
Larose
However, when the day of the performance arrived, I walked onto the Iris Family's stage with great anticipation, only to find that she was the sole presence there: No audience, no accompanying musicians, not even an automated orchestra.
Larose
"Snap out of it! Without the publicity and support of the Iris Family, you and your so-called Song of Beauty are just worthless trash in the Dreamscape."
Larose
Her words filled me with fury, but I remained silent, watching her leave the theater. I couldn't argue with her... because she was an expert in music... a representative of the Penacony mainstream...
Larose
But one day, I will make her regret it. I will become an authority, redefining the new "mainstream." Even if I have to abandon the Song of Beauty, I will rise above her and pulverize her arrogance!
Larose
Dear {M#Sir}{F#Miss}, please stay for a while. There's no need to hurry in this dreamscape where time stands still.
Larose
Here, please take this pamphlet. I will be performing the song of {RUBY_B#Beauty}beauty{RUBY_E#} at this concert. Please don't miss it.
