Chapter 42 She Was That Confident
When Simone noticed everyone’s shocked expressions, she awkwardly asked, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Zac approached her and inquired, “Can you play all these instruments?”
She nodded. “Yes, I have learned to play them all.”
Before crossing over to the other universes, Simone used to take fiddle classes. As a result, she was quite familiar with the several instruments before her and knew how to play them.
Zac’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her. “You’re amazing, Simone.”
Simone smiled. “Thank you for the compliment!”
Meanwhile, the elder was shocked but grinned as he beckoned–Simone over: “Come here, young lady. I’ll give you a score. Try playing these instruments.”
Simone nodded. “Sure!”
The elder took out several music scores from the cabinet and opened one, pointing to a page. “Use the fiddle to play this piece.”
Simone carefully examined the score, then took the fiddle from the elder and began playing. Soon, a lively and cheerful fiddle piece filled the air.
The elder smiled in satisfaction. “You’re quite skilled at playing the fiddle.”
Next, the elder asked Simone to try the drums, dulcimer, and trumpet.
Simone remained confident and calm as she played each of the scores given to her by the elder. Once she finished, the elder’s smile grew even wider. “Very good. I’m confident that you can handle playing the soundtracks. There’s no need to look for anyone else.”
Smiling, Simone murmured, “Sure. I’ll take care of the soundtracks.”
Jonah smiled slightly. “Miss Gray, you’ve made things very easy for our crew.”
Meanwhile, Keira and Eric couldn’t help but admire Simone. Although they didn’t know how to play these instruments, they could hear how well she had played the pieces.
Keira asked, “Simone, do you play any other instruments besides these?”
“I know a few others,” Simone replied. Keira then asked, “For example? Can you list a few?”
Simone answered, “I can play the harp, banjo, flute, clarinet, ocarina, piano, cello, guitar, saxophone,
and bass.”
