Bard

[Gunther Doubleharmony]

Hahaha~!

Listen, listen!

I was told this song from one of my friends about this Merchant who lives in Payon and everyone loves this song, especially because I'm singing it and you know that...

[

Excuse me.

Are you...

Gunther Doubleharmony?

...the Merchant was so poor he didn't even have--eh? Oh yeah, right. That's me. What's up?

You explain that you have come to him, seeking lost song lyrics.

Ahhhhhhh, I see.

Now, what was the

name of the song again?

Ah~ that song...?

By the way, who asked you

to find out about the song?

Yes, that's my friend! Minty Errende! We used to so close to each other, so I'll write every word of the song for my friend Minty Errende, so turn around please!

Gunther furiously scribbled something upon your back.

There you go! Now you can go back to Minty Errende and show him your back and he will see what I wrote and then remember the lyrics!

No no no, I don't know anyone with that name, so you better go and check the name of the person asking again, okay?

No no no no, I don't know any song with that title, it might not even exist, so you should go and check the name of the song again and tell me, okay?

You came back again!

Huh, the song I wrote on your back? Hold on, hold on, let me think let me--ah, right, I got it!

The words I wrote down on your back were written by Mr. Kitty, my idol, my hero! That song is the art of Kino Kitty!

I wish that someday I could be as great a Bard as him!

Oh, right...!

Do you wanna listen

to my song or a story?

I know you want to!

Right, right?

Yay~! I knew it!

So you wanna hear

a song or a story?

Gunther sings!

Gunther dances!

The tile of this song is~

'The Rich Mr. Kim~!'

Merchant of Payon

So poooooooor~

No money for armor

No money to make.

Sold the

Cotton Shirt

Off his back

No pity he'll take.

First he only sold Red Pots

At first, he only sold red pots.

Then he moved up to Carrots, whoohoo~

He could afford new armor

and even wear it,

whoohoo~

But one day, he was scammed

Scammed by a wicked guild.

Made poor once again.

He decided to go to Ant Hell

Right there

And right then.

Bats, Dwarves, Eggs, Ants!

He battled them all~

Worm Peelings, Jellopy!

He gathered loot great and small.

Then the glorious day came

When he found a valuable card

That'd bring great wealth to his naaaame~

But he kept it dear to him

To remember his times of

working so hard.

He never sold it, never sold

his precious card~

That's a very old story about rich Mr. Kim, and his rise from rags to riches to rags to riches. Is it true or is it fiction? Oh, please don't ask me! I've no clue!

*Ahem*

Gunther sings

of Yggdrasil~

Evergreen Yggdrasil~

Giant ashen tree

reaching for the sky.

Crystal, morning dew

From its leaves

Formed Urd's Pond.

Three wise girls.

Seated beneath its boughs.

Urd of the past,

Belldandy of the present

Skuld the future.

Spinning, weaving

Threads of destiny.

Its roots soaked with tears.

Death in Hvergelmir.

An evil dragon

Burning its roots

With eternal flame.

The evil dragon Nidhogg

Living between Yggdrasil

and Niffheim.

Wisdom in its roots

Roots reaching

Mimir's pond.

Guarded by a wise giant.

Odin sacrificed one

of his eyes for the wisdom.

Heimdall's horn hidden

In Yggdrasil's roots

Will sound one last time

Signaling Ragnarok.

This is a very old story...

Is it truth or fiction? But please don't ask me, I have no idea~!

I will sing one of Luke's songs, you know, Luke, one of the greatest Bards of his time? But I changed the words a little bit.

I found it in a drawer.

Old, worn letters

Forming elaborate words.

Sincere reflection

Of a sincere mind.

Was I really like that once?

Was I really that childish?

My memories are tarnished.

Love I had forgotten.

She never got this letter.

But both of us were too shy.

I never gave her this letter.

But both of us were too proud.

Do you have anyone in mind? Do you? If you ever write a love letter, you must send it and express yourself.

If you've written love letters that you'll never send, throw them away. Throw your goddamn pride away.

Um, have you ever

tasted Comodo cheese?

You can only taste it in Comodo, but you need to have a good strong stomach to digest it. Oh! And the cheese has a secret!

You might be invulnerable to the power of the doomed swords, which come from the other world, if you eat it!

Why don't you go taste it if you haven't yet? I tried to taste it once. It was kind of yummy, but then I fainted. Hahahaha~!

I was passing Prontera the other day at the place where it used to be the Swordman training ground.

I saw some kid training really really hard and he didn't notice me watching him, so I guess he was really really serious!

He looked like he wanted to be a professional Swordman, but he was also giving his gear away to other Novices.

I got bored watching him do the same thing over and over and over again, but I think the Monster Research Organization would like him if I introduced him.

Have you ever been in Lutie,

land of year round snow?

There is a snowman named

SnowySnow and if you met him, you'd know all sorts of things about him like he can talk! It's so strange and mysterious~!

He has a mysterious bag where endless gifts come out, and he's got a mysterious past involving some colder town and something about a nasty witch.

But it's okay because he was rescued by some Alchemist and came back to life, but you should go to Lutie if you wanna know more about him, okay?

You're gonna leave right now and not even listen to me a little bit? Okay, I'm cool, but promise you'll come back and listen to just one of my songs, okay?

...

Wow, you're ignoring me, huh? Alright, that's fine by me! Unless you have some kind of problem where you can't talk, then I'm really really sorry.
