The crowd went silent one by one as they saw a figure sitting atop the platform. She was holding her violin as if she was already playing. Her eyes were closed tightly as she listened if there's still any sound that ca from the crowd.
After a few monts, the Kuys Bar that was so lively before beca quiet, it's as if the sound of a pin being dropped could be heard if it was dropped at this mont.
When Emilia heard nothing anymore, she finally slowly opened her eyes, she surveyed the crowd with her cold eyes before closing it again as her hand started to move to play the strings of the violin.
A hum was released along with her movents and the people around could not help but close their eyes to bask in this feeling of being invigorated.
It's as if their fatigue from adventuring or working all day long has been washed out one by one every swipe from the combination of her elegant hands and violin.
So of them could not even help but sway in harmony with the sound produced by her violin.
Even Ban and Eva were not an exemption as they also closed their eyes to listen to her performance.
The couple who were fighting earlier had now clasped their hands together as they realized the stupidity of their actions earlier.
There was a huge smile that hung on Kuys face as he stared at the pretty figure on the platform. Beside him, there was also Marrie who had both a smile and tears rolling down her cheeks at the sa ti while staring lovingly at Emilia as if she was staring at a precious jade that needs to be protected at all cost.
After a few minutes, Emilia's movent slowly died down as she reached the end of her performance.
She stood up and bowed to the crowd's direction elegantly as she turned around to leave the platform.
It was only a mont later that the people around realized that her performance had already ended. However, none of them clapped or produced exclamations as if they were afraid of breaking the silence that was caused by her performance.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Suddenly, everyone turned their head towards the counter and saw Kuys clapping his hands as slowly as possible to not cause any noise.
When they saw that, everyone followed suit as they did the sa exact movents. It resulted in rhythmic clapping sounds that did not sound noisy and unpleasant to the ears.
An hour had passed but the crowd could still not stop talking about Emilia's performance. Although so of them felt injustice for being unable to hear her voice, they decided to just suck it up as they did not pay anything aside from the foods or drinks they consud anyway.
Seeing that it was no longer busy and the other waiters could already handle the rest of the orders, Ban thought it should be if he retired early to bed. He went to Kuys and tell him that he wanted to go to the bed already, to which the latter imdiately approved.
"Just co back here if you still could not sleep properly, alright? Ban-kiddo!" Kuys said as he waved his hands to Ban.
"Also, don't forget to greet your love, alright? Hahaha!" He burst into a laugh but unfortunately for him, Ban had already ran upstairs as he knew that Kuys would really tease him just like that.
Atop the attic, Ban laid on the bed like a dead log as he inspected the row of text that surfaced in front of him earlier.
[ [Skill] Harmonious Music has been used.

Effects Duration: 5 Hours
Ti Remaining: 3 Hours

"Training efficiency will double… I see, this must be the real reason why they wanted to listen to her performance every ti. They are only after these effects… Tsk!" Ban clicked his tongue after realizing the truth.
He shook his head as he thought that it does not concern him. However, he just felt that it was quite a waste giving such effects to them for free. If it were him, he would surely charge everyone of them a gold each every performance. With those nurous adventurers earlier, he estimated that he should be able to earn at least 500 Gold Coins in every performance.
Alas, he could do nothing other than to imagine it.
Ban also realized that he should still be careful around every person that will et in the future. Who knows if they have so bizarre [Skills] at their disposal.
For example, earlier, if Emilia's [Skill] was not the Harmonious Music but instead sothing like that produces a deadly sound, then everyone around would surely be injured. That is why Ban decided to take extra asures from now on, and if possible, obtain a [Skill] that could sohow nullify or negate any harmful sound that targeted him.
Anyways, the [Book of Techniques], All About Them has the information of all the Beasts, including their [Skills], as well as the [Skills] that can be extracted after killing them. It also listed all the possible training thods that let the Monsters or Beasts learn a particular [Skill] that are available to their race.
Of course, it is costly and ti consuming but Ban thought that he should be able to afford their costs and training ti just fine.
He accessed the knowledge and the System imdiately presented to him all the possible Monsters or Beasts that might drop those kinds of skills. The System injected a small portion of that knowledge to his brain and even though it only contains a small portion, he could still not help but wince in pain.
Eva could only pat Ban's head softly with a worried gaze, trying to ease the pain that Ban was feeling.
A mont later, Ban finally bead a smile as he poke Eva's worried expression. "It's alright, little Eva! I'm alright now!"
He then took Eva and hugged her tightly while waving his hands to retrieve sothing from his Dinsional Storage Item.
It was the Red Hermit Termite's defective Beast Core.
It's ti for Eva to absorb it and beco even more stronger.
