Once the children arrived at the eastern suburban forest, they quickly found the right direction and simply followed the cheerful piano music.
From the very beginning of her piano lessons, Moen chose to study in the eastern suburban forest, where she wouldn't disturb others. This was because at the start, Voltava hadn't bought a house yet and was still living in a hotel, so it wasn't appropriate for them to teach in the hotel.
Although Vltava has already bought a house, they have gotten used to teaching here and have not moved back.
In outdoor settings, with lush mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, playing the piano and singing songs can really create that kind of atmosphere.
Speaking of which, the concert hall sponsored by Judo Heartfilia has already started construction. Judo is indeed very shrewd; he entrusted this task to Fairy Tail without hesitation and even offered a hefty price.
The cooperative relationship between the two parties has been formally established. Jiude reciprocated the favor by being very good at handling things, which made everyone have a good impression of him. At least as a business partner, Jiude is very qualified and trustworthy.
Everyone in the guild has already gotten busy building the concert hall, allowing them to experience the benefits of cooperating with the Heartfilia Foundation. This job is much more profitable than building a house for Mira's family, otherwise no one would have taken it on.
"Even though I'm a cowboy, I only order milk at the bar."
As they drew closer to the source of the music, a cheerful song reached the children's ears. A joy that made them feel as if they could dance and sway rose from their hearts. The cheerful song and the piano music complemented each other, making the whole forest seem to be dancing, with birds chirping in harmony.
Why not drink beer? Because beer is bad for your health!
The songs were strange and incomprehensible to everyone, but the joy they conveyed was something everyone could feel.
"Is this Moen singing?"
Erza looked shocked, clearly not expecting it, but she was absolutely certain that she wouldn't mistake that familiar voice.
"It really does look like it."
As the leader of the "Blind Faith" faction, Mirajane was also shocked, clearly indicating that she was not actually blindly faithful.
"What a cheerful song!"
The children quickened their pace and came to the clearing by the creek, where they saw Moen, along with Voltava and Lila.
Moen's fingers plucked the lyre strings rapidly, producing a very cheerful melody. His terrifying speed and skill brought the lyre to a level that was completely beyond its capabilities.
Those simple strings couldn't even produce all the notes, but under Moen's manipulation, they truly turned the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Of course, the powerful magic that Moen infused into the lyre cannot be ignored. The final form of this music was created through the combined efforts of magic, technique, and the instrument.
An ordinary lyre simply couldn't withstand Moen's torment. Without magic, many tones would be difficult to change, and technique, of course, is the key to connecting everything.
"Huh? What are you guys doing here?"
Seeing Erza, Mirajane, and the others gather around, Moen stopped playing and singing, looking at them with a surprised expression.
Voltava and Lila also looked at the group. They were quite familiar with these Fairy Tail children.
After all, apart from Moen, Erza, and Mira, who are a few of the older ones, most of the children mainly stay in Magnolia and accept commissions from Magnolia City.
"Brother Moen, what song was that just now?"
Lisanna leaned closer and asked with a curious look in her eyes. Moenge had indeed learned very well. Although she didn't know much about music, how could music that could affect her emotions be bad?
"Um, I call it 'The Cowboy Is Busy'."
Moen began to speak. As he became more and more proficient at playing the harp, his first thought was naturally to recreate the songs he was familiar with from the original world. During this time, he had already adapted quite a few songs, most of which were light and cheerful tunes.
Compared to funeral music, he clearly preferred this cheerful tune.
Of course, Moen hasn't forgotten about the background music either. It shouldn't be long before he carries a speaker during battles, but he hasn't chosen his own background music yet.
Sometimes he also thought that maybe he could brainstorm with everyone in the guild and create a song that belongs to "Fairy Tail", a song that could ignite everyone's fighting spirit.
"Cowboy! I know! It's a profession from the Western Continent!"
Levy spoke excitedly, which didn't surprise Moen at all. He could only say that Levy was indeed knowledgeable; there was nothing she didn't know.
"So... was that the language of the Western Continent just now?"
Erza exclaimed in surprise, for she didn't understand it at all; it didn't sound like the common language used on the continent of Ishgar.
"No, the Western Continent also mostly uses a common language."
Levy shook her head, rejecting Erza's guess. The western continent of Alvarez was unfamiliar to most children because Alvarez and Ishgar rarely interacted, and even Levy only knew about it from books.
Of those present, Vltava was probably the only one who knew anything about that place; being older and having lived longer, he naturally had more experience.
In Moen's memory, the last time Alvarez and Ishgar had any conflict was about four years ago, when they almost went to war, but Alvarez ultimately restrained himself.
Moen was only eight or nine years old at the time, and he learned about these things from snippets of conversation among the adults. He didn't know the specific causes or the process, but he knew that the result was that no fight broke out, and that the Magic Council played a crucial role in it.
"This is a language from the stars, it can also be called Chinese."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Moen began to explain, which surprised everyone. As for Voltava and Lila, the two Protoss were already numb to it.
"Chinese? A language from the stars?"
Levy's eyes widened. Did such a language really exist? And was it related to Celestial Magic again?
"Is there a corresponding written form?"
The moment language and writing are mentioned, Levy immediately gets into the zone. That's Levy's key word: instantly triggering a professional state.
"Of course there is. It's a very great language, so naturally it has a written form."
Moen spoke with considerable pride, then wrote the words "Cowboy on the Run" directly on the ground.
Levy lay down on the ground and began to look at it intently, her face filled with amazement and fascination, as if she had seen some kind of treasure. She was clearly captivated by the special script.
In this world, English exists and is called "Western script." The magic "3D script" used by Levy is "Western script." As for whether Chinese characters exist, Moen really doesn't know, and he hasn't seen them in any books. Even if they do, they are probably a very rare ancient script.
After all, it's quite rare for an expert like Levy not to know, which is why Moen said something about "a language from the stars." Don't ask, it's just celestial magic.
"Moenge! Can you teach me this language?!"
With stars in her eyes, Levy approached Moen, clasped her hands together, and looked adorably like she was begging him.
"If you want to learn, of course, no problem."
Moen smiled and reached out to ruffle Levy's hair, readily agreeing.
"Is there anyone else who wants to learn?"
Moen turned to the other children and asked. He was happy to teach them Chinese and could use it as a secret language between them, a language only they could understand.
"It looks really difficult."
Mira stared at the words and couldn't help but purse her lips.
Lisanna shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly; studying was what she hated most.
Under Mirajane's influence, the whole family is quite averse to school. Although Elfman dresses in a suit and tie like a cultured person, he is actually someone who hates studying.
"Forget it, I don't understand it at all."
Erza shook her head. She thought it would be better to spend this time studying magic, as she wanted to strive to become an S-class mage!
Laxus becoming an S-class mage inspired many people. In fact, this wasn't Laxus's first time taking the S-class mage exam; he had failed several times before finally succeeding.
Erza felt that she could start preparing for this next year, and even if she didn't succeed on the first try, she could still gain experience.
After asking around, only Wendy and Juvia were willing to learn. As for Natsu and Gray, Moen didn't even bother asking them; it would be strange if they were willing to learn.
"I'd like to learn to sing."
Looking at Moen, Mirajane spoke up. She was quite interested in this; it was one of her few hobbies.
"Lila, what do you think? Are you willing to accept this new student?"
Moen looked at Lyra, the Lyra celestial spirit beside him, and asked for her opinion.
"No, Moen, you don't need me anymore. You're already skilled enough to be a teacher. There's nothing more I can teach you."
Lila waved her hand, refusing to teach Mira. She was completely impressed by Moen's talent and was absolutely certain that Moen was the one favored by Lyra.
"Perhaps after a while, I'll even have to learn from you."
Lila sighed, her expression full of melancholy. Once upon a time, she was the most outstanding musician and singer, but after only two months, she had to step down and give way to someone more capable.
"That's an exaggeration. I'm not actually that good."
Moen smiled modestly and said that Lila was indeed exaggerating a bit. He felt that his skill level had almost reached a bottleneck and it would be difficult to improve much further.
The main thing is that he has learned everything he can, and Lila has been completely drained. If she wants to make any further progress, she will have to forge her own path, which will increase the difficulty exponentially.
