*Toot* *Toot*! Whoa, another weird noise! All right, this time… *Toot*!

Ugh, why is it just making weird sounds now?!

Is this flute broken or something?!

Ah, so it was Nico making that sound.

It seems like you're having a tough time too, Nico.

I'm trying to do it the way I was taught, but I just can't get the right sound to come out! I wonder why.

Hmm. Could you try playing it again, Nico-chi?

Sure thing. *Toot*!

What a rare and unique sound!

What's that supposed to mean?!

Now, now, Nico-chi. I think you're probably blowing into it too hard to get it to make the right sound.

Ugh… Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure that's it.

Focus on holding your lips in a natural position and blowing into the flute long and gently from your stomach. Here, I'll press down on your stomach.

Got it. Here I go… *Blow*

Did you hear that?!

Yes. It was only for a moment, but it was a beautiful sound! Amazing!

I knew I could do it! Okay, one more time… *Blow*

Huh? *Blow* *Blow* That's weird. Sometimes it doesn't make any sound.

Maybe the air isn't hitting the edge of the blowhole like it should. Try adjusting the angle and blowing it so it does.

Like this.

Wow, what a pretty sound! You're amazing, Mari!

Thanks! I'll have all your hearts burning up with the sound of my flute.

Now you try, Nico-chi.

Got it… *Blow*

Nice! That was the longest I've managed to hold the sound!

Wonderful! That was great, Nico-chi!

It's all thanks to you, Mari! Thank you! Okay, lemme try one more time before I forget how…

Guys! It's almost time for lunch!

Whoa! What was that loud sound just now?!

Th-That one wasn't me! What the heck was that?!
