Whoa this time's even longer! LOL Chasse-chan is getting ready for school, and for me, well I am an accountant, so – tax season! And I was going through some serious thinking too; yeah, that includes Eternal Sonata.

Anyway~ We love Frederic and Jazz, this is for sure~ If the world ends three days later, I will buy airline tickets and fly to Chasse-chan's home and cosplay with her…LOL!! But since the world's not ending, we will have to wait till July to cosplay together XD

Okay I've talking non-sense… I should shut up and let you read the letter. LOL

Dear Frederic,

I was in great surprise of how fast I received your reply – it's been only a week or so. And I am exciting to see your joy to receive mine, as I can see your words dance on this clean white piece of paper – did I tell you that you have beautiful handwriting? I hope mine didn't trouble you from reading.

If you are here you will see a very different side of me while reading your letters – ran straight into my room, opened envelop almost hands shaken, read it a few long times and still couldn't let it go. Receiving the letter in such speed made me wonder if Crescendo opened the warp room for our mail delivery – excuse my foolishness, the warp room is for royal family used only; we were to use it back then because we were on important missions – and the warp machine is out of power now since it's been helping us to save a lot of time. How I wish we could still use it, so you don't need to go through the dangerous path from Andante to Tenuto; and I could always use it to go to Baroque right away to see you.

Often time I have disappointment of not being there and seeing how you were in the past – though I always think it is fine this way, I would want to know you more, especially the world you're from. Trust me, it doesn't matter what others think, I believe your "other" world exists and I never thought what you said about it were just some dreams; the universe contains so many mysteries beyond our knowledge. I have no intention to find out the reason and cause – as long as you are here, I am glad and grateful.

Of how you were in the past – I do not see it matters anymore. For what I know about you, your heart is too gentle and cares for others. Isn't it you are from a world that different from ours? And don't you love them as they are part of yourself? Still I remembered clearly our first met at the secret passage's gate, you offered your help right away when I asked. Even you were what you said about yourself, I already knew you're a great friend and a person with a shining astra; the goodness in you can not be hidden, it reaches to all of us who know you.

Oh, please don't find the weirdness of Crescendo a surprise. He maybe a king now but he's still a human being. Ever since I knew him, once in a while he revealed his other personas; in fact he's rather a playful person – not the negatively playful, but he put down his title and loved to be with normal citizens from any status or positions. Often people would not recognize him as the Prince of Baroque at all until the castle guards came asking his return to the castle. But still, if he ever winks at you like that again… well… I will tell him not to do so next time. He should be busy thinking how to make a prince or princess for the royal family by now –I can't stop laughing while writing this sentence down. Don't you think?

It might sound a lot of work but I do have numbers of friends here to help out; Beat did take a picture of us and the house already but you see the repairing wasn't done yet of course. I am sorry to trouble you with my memories; you are just too gentle and often trying to take others' burden. You've done so much for me already. I assume you still have in your memory, which first time you performed for us; "Farewell," isn't it how it named? Surprisingly I can remember the melody correctly in my brain for I am not talented like you are; whenever I think about Claves, your melody flow in and take away my sadness. I could not recover that fast without your music. I should be the one saying, I want to help and take up your burdens too.

I believe in you and I say this with my full heart. After all we… we are best friends… aren't we? I can't afford to lose you. So please stay safely as now I am not there by your side.

Although I can never be in your shoes, I do think writing music isn't an easy work also. But I heard from Beat that one time you played piano in Baroque, all people were amazed by your talent. That wasn't a large piece of work either, right? I do not understand why, but it's nearly to an impossible chance to find a talented pianist here in our world; we do have great composers for orchestral or other greater performance, but pianists are quite rare. Do not underestimate your gift, for it's an extraordinary jewel to us.

You mentioned this Mr. Mozart as one of the talented composers in your world a few times before. So how's his music like? Do you enjoy his work too? I am just curious on different things from your world and would like to know more. But no matter what, you are blessed in a different way than Mr. Mozart; you are who you are, and I enjoy the way that you are now.

I hope these would help you if you are going on a large performance; try some wheat or mint tea. Yes I am obsessed with different kinds of tea. I found that wheat and mint tea ease my mind and release stress. Maybe they could bring you some helps too.

Do not worry about Allegretto's reaction; he's simply not a fan of scented soap and it didn't seem offending him at all while I asked. I am sure sooner or later he will enjoy them more since he's been selling floral powders for Polka and her mom in Ritardando. Beside Crescendo and Queen Serenade, we have another cute couple of Polka and Allegretto here; looking at them really brings up my smile and joy, and some of the dreams that I had before… Beat seems to grow taller for a bit and I am amazed by this kid's talent on photography. Oh, Viola comes and stays in Andante now; she's much closer to Falsetto and they are now teaching each other their own strengthens on bows and Melee skills. Viola also mentions Salsa and March are going to Baroque for some day off, for the two little girls love and miss you so much and they've wanted to visit you since you all last met.

Now that you talked about her and Crescendo's winking… Polka had been asking me weird questions since her first day visit in Andante and she did wink at me a few times too. And Salsa! Yes that little girl, she and March came to Andante with Viola, and while we met at the entrance Salsa just stared at me like I've done something terrible to her! But she and March left the second day to Baroque so I didn't have a chance to ask her reason because she didn't talk to me at all the whole night. I wondered what I'd done to Salsa or Polka… Please do me a favor, I know Salsa likes you the most, if you can please kindly ask why she's mad at me like that I'd be much appreciated, and give my apologies to her for what I'd done.

It's interesting that, mushrooms for food use only grow in Agogo Forest; other places never grow eatable mushrooms but poisonous monsters type! To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised when I saw you fighting those creatures since you mentioned you world do not have such monsters. It took me long time to get used to my sword and fight well, but you seem to be very well at it without learning. You really amazed me a lot of time.

Yes I shall visit Baroque at once after the long work in Andante; it's weird for me to say that… but Crescendo doesn't have many close friend; possibly I am the only one, and later you all become part of his most dears. And… I want to meet with you badly; even just to be in the same place without doing anything, I feel safe and relaxing. I shall be ready anytime to hear your special performance for us, or just for me, if I am allowed to say so.

There is one thing that's been in my mind for quite some times. You brought this up only once, said that you once had a close friend. I could tell you hold some dear memories with him, but couldn't forget the depressing expression from your face. If there's anything you would like to tell me I would be listening to your every word. Again, I do not wish to trouble or force you; forgive me being straightforward like this, if you do not want to say anything, one word from you will silent me on this topic forever.

Your letter made my day. It delights me every time I thought of your words.

Even with a thousand words they can't express how much I want to wish the best for you, so I simply give all my blessings.

Your best,

Jazz

P.S. Just that day I went shopping with Polka and saw this small thing that I thought it would fit you… I asked for Polka's suggestion and she said I could send it to you as a Valentine's Day gift; she told me that it's a holiday for good friends from your world. So in your world good friends give gifts in this day? How interesting! But I don't know why Polka kept telling me not to give gifts to others except you…hmm. Anyway, I hope you would like it.
