Once all of these attributes have been leveled up once, he has Ursula perform in the Rumbletum Canteen.

After numerous Merc Missions, and upon reaching level 4 in all attributes, Tipitapi will have Ursula play at the Mymoma Playhouse. Due to the support of the party, Ursula manages to find the confidence to play despite the large audience. Immediately after the concert Tipitapi tells Ursula he's begun preperations for a concert in Alba Cavanich. Although she is sacred by the amount of people she'd be playing for, Ursula vows to try.
