[After April Fools, Gold spent the next few days on and off searching every song that got recorded in the journal. When he's done, he opens his]

Everyone needs to practice on a karaoke machine or take lessons or something. That was just awful.

And what was with all the foreign songs? That was just weird.

[Guess who's gonna be a smartass at you, Gold.]

Es gibt so etwas wie andere Sprachen, kid.

["There is such a thing as other languages, kid."]

Castle autotranslates, smartass.

And? I was making a point.

You missed mine. It was weird it didn't translate those songs!

You never said anything that would have hinted that was the point you were getting at, you know.

I figured people were smart enough to find it on their own. Real life doesn't exactly have nifty hints and guides.

Givin' the people here a little too much credit, aren't you? [That's awfully cute of him.]

But how about you take a look at what you said? Now, care to tell me how 'the foreign songs were weird' translates into 'why didn't the castle translate it for me'? Real life doesn't have all those nifty little conveniences, you know.

You'd be surprised.

Very little surprises me anymore, kid.

Good, 'cause we got 'em at home.

You heard that, huh? I didn't even know I could speak Korean, let alone sing in Korean. This place is weird...

[She's the one who sang the really upbeat but weird Korean one]

Really? It was pretty spot on too.

Some kind of magic must have helped me with that.

Same kind that compelled you to do it in the first place, eh?

Pretty much, yeah. I still need to get used to this.

The entire magic castle bit? Yeah, that takes a while.

How long did it take for you to get used to it?

Eh... A couple months.

Um, I don't think people sounded bad... [Nanako isn't so good at offering criticism]

That's 'cause you're way too nice for your own good, Nanako.

N-No, that's not it. Some people were good!

Okay, those people are excused from mandatory karaoke training then.

How would you do karaoke training? Would they just have to... sing everyday?

Bingo! Practice is key to getting better.

Hm... well, if they're practicing, and they won't feel bad, then I guess that's okay.

And karaoke's fun, even when it's going to be mandatory!

Maybe there can be a rule, that people have to train with their friends!

Aww, but that lets the friendless misanthropes off the hook!

Misan....thropes?

People who hate people.

That sounds weird...

Don't worry, they are weird.

Why do they hate people? Don't they get lonely?

...A lot of reasons, actually. Sometimes, they'd rather deal with loneliness than getting hurt by others.

That's sad...

Nnnnnthat's why karaoke practice should be mandatory.... In random groups!

Because it will help them make friends? What if they don't like noisy stuff... it might just make them mad.

This place is noisy all the time though.

I guess... maybe we can have a different thing for them? Something less noisy?

Like... piano bar?

Yeah! That sounds nice.

Great. And there's actually a piano bar in this castle.

Really? Wow, the city has so much...

Oh, I mean there's one IN the castle. I guess there might be some in town too.

Oh! I didn't know that either... [not up to date on the para bar scene]

Why do you know about it?

Just that it's a piano bar. I actually don't think it's still open. BUT! It's there.

Did it close because someone left?

That would most likely be the case. Either way, the guy who opened it is probably gone, and the new management is also probably gone.
