Vol 2 Prologue (2/2)
”Aah, feels good! Oh! shi+nnosuke-kun is holding a oing to sing!?”
”Eh? N-No, this isn't”
Speaking over my protests, shi+ro said,
”All right, I've been waiting for this!”
”I'll kill”
But,
””Yaay!””
Cried both Yousuke and Himi
As I thought, what kind of emotion does one feel when one says 'yay'?
Claps resounded
Gunjou looked at
The music started
It was Enka Indeed, it was a fa often heard at the end of the year, and one that even I could sing
”Erh, you know?”
But, everyone remained silent and looked at me with eyes filled with anticipation
”I', you know?”
Everyone just grinned and looked atat , you'll look really lame
””
For so furiously My entire body filled with a nervousness that was even worse than what I feel each ti a labyrinth, a place where I can die in an instant if I ment
On the TV screen where the lyrics display, appeared the amount of time left before the intro ends ——— 6 seconds
Only 6 seconds left
If this were a labyrinth, it would no longer be possible to clear it There would be too little tiic and bail
However, there is no escape With et out of this karaoke box
This ht? Does this ?
My body stiffened
How did things turn out like this? Why do I have to go through this? Even though this is not a labyrinth, it feels like hell
I gripped the htly I could feel my palm covered in sweat
3 seconds re
It started
The song started
Driven to the wall,
”Aaah, jeez, da!”
””””Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!””””
Except for Gunjou, the rest gave a chorus of 'yay's with unbelievable delight
Amid the peak in tension, I had no choice, really no choice but to sing the Enka ———
”Here's your Oolong tea”
A felanced ata face thatyourself That's great, really great”
”Ah”
I thought
”Aaah!?”
I thought
But, I couldn't stop singing at that point While it's e, if I were to stop, I think my embarrassment would become even more obvious
So I continued to sing
Even as the Oolong tea is handed to
If I sing, it's like hell
If I don't sing, it's like purgatory
The server left
I sang the Enka sadly
Maybe because they've noticed that, shi+ro and Yousuke seehs
”Cute”, I could hear Kiri say softly
I'll definitely kill them later
No doubt about it
Or Can someone please kill me now?
””
Putting that aside, this is a story about songs
A story about using Headphone Fuzz《 Intra-Cerebral Magic Activator 》s[1], filling our neuralour lives in desperation, hollering ic
And then killing girls
Killing girls who contract an illness
And about this world where we kill girls ———
”shi+nnosuke, your Enka singing is really good Why don't you enter another song? How about Tsugaru Kaikyou
”Hey, stop fooling around!”
”Eh? You prefer J-Pop?”
”No!”
”How should I put this to you, when the server cah”
”Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
I shouted through my Enka
