The concert went very smoothly, and Maestro Vltava's skill was indeed exceptional, earning unanimous praise from everyone.
As the master's last disciple, Moen naturally took to the stage to perform.
Moen didn't do anything fancy; he just went up and played "Kikujiro's Summer," bringing everyone a touch of genuine coolness.
The music, like dewdrops on a summer morning, is full of vitality, bringing a refreshing comfort like a cool summer night breeze.
The whole piece is simple, cheerful, fresh, natural, lively, and gives listeners a natural and comfortable feeling.
As the music ended, all the audience members in the concert hall seemed to have lost their worries, as if they had all gone through a warm and joyful journey, and smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.
"My disciple is far more talented than I am."
Master Voltava spoke highly of Moen, without any airs, and directly stated that he was far less talented than Moen, whether in singing or songwriting.
Moen, of course, repeatedly expressed his humility. In terms of playing and singing, he was on fire, completely overwhelming the Lyra Celestials. In terms of composition, he was on an epic level, standing on the shoulders of a brilliant human civilization.

This is already amazing. Moen said it's a bit early. This is just the beginning. There are still many things he hasn't taken out yet.
After this concert, Mohn's fame will grow even greater, mainly because his reputation has such a wide reach.
Those who like powerful mages, handsome men, reading and mystery, and pop or classical music.
This coverage, while not comprehensive, certainly covers a large portion, which is why it's so famous.
The concert was widely reported by various media outlets, making it known to more people and bringing fame to Magnolia's concert hall. More and more people learned that Magnolia now had a large concert hall, and Mohn would occasionally perform there.
Compared to Moen, Master Voltava's fame is not as great; the amount of attention the two generate is not even in the same league.
"It looks like tickets for our concert hall will be hard to come by from now on."
Jude Hatfilia was naturally very pleased with this result.
After all, the newspapers all published the full name of the concert hall, "Heterphilia Harp Concert Hall," which was practically a free way to defeat the Heterphilia Foundation. He hadn't expected such a benefit at first.
This time, all the money he spent was really worth it. Just the effect of this one GG alone was enough to make up for the cost of building the concert hall. You can't just ride on Moen's popularity like that, let alone do it so blatantly.
"But if they all bought tickets for Moen, won't they be disappointed to see an old man like me?"
Voltava spoke with a smile, but his expression was confident, as if he wasn't worried about it at all.
Come to think of it, with Mörthawa's playing technique, even people who are not interested in him or harp playing would be captivated by him once they sit down. A true master can make even those who don't understand sit down and appreciate the music.
"I believe that more people will be influenced by the music of the masters, and perhaps one of them will become a future harp master."
Moen smiled and said that they were not worried about this problem. Even if they could not see him, no one would feel that the trip had been in vain.
"I hope so."
Voltava smiled and shook his head. He was already very satisfied that he could make more people like harp music and that more people would be willing to listen to his music without leaving his home.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Voltava, who had just finished his hard performance, left the concert hall to go back and rest, leaving Moen and Jude alone.
"Mr. Jiude, tell me about the Heartfilia Foundation's plan. I will cooperate with your actions. The chairman has entrusted me with full responsibility for this matter, so I believe you can trust me, right?"
Moen didn't keep them in suspense and got straight to the point.
"Of course, I trust Brother Moen the most. In the entire Fairy Tail guild, Brother Moen is the one I trust the most."
Jude immediately replied that with Moen's great reputation, how could he not believe it? Moen's appearance was perfectly representative of Fairy Tail, and he had no doubt about that.
Surely no one would doubt Fairy Tail's resolve to support them after meeting Moen, right? That would be incredibly disrespectful.
"That's an exaggeration. I don't have that much influence. We mainly rely on the old man's reputation. We'll just borrow his power to scare those who want to cause trouble."
Moen smiled, not taking Jiude's praise to heart. Although he was very famous, he might not be able to intimidate the aristocratic interest groups in the south. Those people still respected the old man's reputation more.
"I believe they'll know what's good for them."
Jiude spoke up, but in his heart he didn't really think those people would know what was good for them.
Even with Fairy Tail's intervention, smooth sailing was impossible. The powerful nobles in the south were deeply entrenched, making the situation far more complicated than in the north. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to penetrate the southern market.
"If anyone dares to obstruct something that benefits the country and its people for their own selfish interests, then they should really ask Fairy Tail whether their blades are sharp enough. These noble families in the south had better know what they're doing."
Moen narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious. The Kingdom of Fiore was, after all, a feudal country similar to the Middle Ages, so it was perfectly normal for it to have powerful local nobles.
To put it more bluntly, some places are the private territories of nobles. They are loyal to the Kingdom of Fiore, but that doesn't mean they have to completely obey the Kingdom of Fiore's orders.
Therefore, even though the Kingdom of Fiore strongly supports railway development through its national policies, the southern market remains inaccessible.
"Good! Brother Moen is indeed straightforward!"
Moen's words greatly encouraged Jude; this was the kind of attitude needed to succeed!
If Fairy Tail is unwilling to put in much effort and only talks the talk, then the cooperation will be difficult to continue, because those southern nobles will not necessarily pay attention to Fairy Tail's few words.
Those people won't back down unless we actually pull out a knife to intimidate them!
"Do you have a goal? Where should you start?"
Moen looked at Jude. Had the Heartfilia Foundation had been preparing for so long, they should have arranged everything by now, right?
"I have a target now. I've arranged to meet with some of the great nobles in the south, several of whom are outspoken opponents of us."
Jiude nodded solemnly. He had been contacting many nobles in the south during this period and had finally managed to organize this meeting. He would have Moen make an appearance and give them a taste of their power!
