Chapter 143 - Fateful Competition — Part 5 (2/2)

“Hello! What’s it like right now?”

“They just finished self-introductions and casual clothing judging.”

“How was Sana-chan’s introduction?”

“She did her idol introduction while blushing bright red.”

“As I thought!”

Natsumi-chan started laughing.

“That’s your strategy?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Impact is important, right? There’s going to be a lot of people showing up. A lot of people know Haru-chan, so something simple is fine for her though.”

Doing something like that for the main stage seemed to be unexpected even for Natsumi-chan, who was the strategist.

“I never thought she would actually do it.”

Natsmu-chan laughed out loud.

Continuing on, the karaoke judging began.

“Is Sana-chan going to be okay? With that…”

Natsumi-chan let out a sigh. After asking, I found out that Sana had decided on the Breig theme song as expected. To pick such a song in front of a large audience like this… It’s fine I guess since it’ll draw quite a bit of attention…

Out of the participants that came out, many of them sung love songs, or sometimes more upbeat ones as well.

To sing a kids anime theme song… It’ll stand out… 100%… Everyone will be shocked speechless…

When it came around for Sana’s turn, she was handed a mic.

Once she gave a bow, the intro to the opening song flowed out.

“Wait, this song…” “It’s that anime one?”

While everyone was holding back their voices, the first verse began.

“… Oooohh— he….”

It might be because she was nervous, but she really didn’t project her voice. Well, it wasn’t even that, she didn’t even sing very well.

Even though she normally sings with a loud voice in the bath.

Natsumi-chan looked up at the sky in exasperation. Even she understands that this is bad. Sana’s expression gradually became stiffer, and it was easy to understand that she was panicking.

… It can’t be helped. Matching along with the melody, I sang with a loud voice. It was enough to gather attention in the gym.

“—— The promise!”

I would be able to sing the lyrics to this song without looking at them.

“——We made that daaaay!”

It’s super embarrassing. I could tell that everyone was looking in my direction. I could also feel my face burning red. Sana took a little bit before she noticed that something was going on.

Hey, Sana, it’s going into the chorus—

Seemingly understanding what I was trying to say, she began to sing the chorus perfectly.

Aaah, that’s a relief. Patting my chest, I scrunched up my neck as if trying to run away from all the attention.

“… Nice, Seiji-kun.”

“Geez, such a kind older brother.”

Kanata gave a thumbs up, while Natsumi-chan was elbowing me in the side.

I told them to be quiet in order to hide my embarrassment, which caused both Kanata and Natsumi-chan to laugh at me.

Sana’s karaoke judging ended up terrible, but that can’t be helped.

As my eyes met with Sana’s on the stage, she formed the words “Thank you” with her mouth.
