Chapter 589: Shes Too Much of a Cheat (1/2)

Chronois-san and Life-san’s song finally ended…… and how should I describe it? Bluntly speaking, it was “hell”.

Both Chronois-san and Life-san have very beautiful voices. Chronois-san has a dignified voice, while Life-san has a gentle and soft voice…… However, they aren’t able to utilize the greatness of their voices in the slightest.

If I had to describe it, it’s as if Chronois-san’s dissonance clashed with Life-san’s dissonance, creating a mysterious chemical reaction and transforming it into “something even more repulsive”…… It was the first time in my life that I felt like throwing up when I heard a song…… If it’s possible though, this is something I didn’t want to experience for the rest of my life.

Why? How did it become this tragic…… Why is it that, after such a tragic performance, do Chronois-san and Life-san “have an expression on their faces brimming with a sense of accomplishment”……

It’s just a guess but…… Do these two not realize how terrible their singing was? Indeed, as these two have the position of being Supreme Gods, I don’t think there would be people who would frankly tell how bad they are on their faces……

“……That’s one heck of a song. It makes it sound like a pig’s squeal is far more artistic than it.”

[ [ ……Eh? ] ]

There’s one…… Someone who can say such a thing without hesitation…… Also, I’m kind of scared as to why Chronois-san and Life-san looked seriously surprised with what Alice said.

Ahh, perhaps, both of them were confident in their singing. Then again, I guess this isn’t just some prank of Shiro-san huh?

“Oya? Here is a message from the Head of the God Realm, the God of Creation, Shallow Vernal-sama. “By my name, from tomorrow forward, I forbid God of Time and Space and God of Life from performing songs for others.”…… is her message.”

[ [ Shallow Vernal-sama!? ] ]

A ban has been issued in the name of the God of Creation!? I wonder if the reason she said “from tomorrow forward” is just in case the two of them somehow won in this round? No, I don’t think there’s anyone who sings worse than these two……

“Well then, now that we’ve got the punchline out of the way, let’s move on to the next team. Hey, Fate-san, please remove your earplugs already.”

“……It’s amazing. It would have been more dramatic if people started collapsing at this Karaoke Battle, as if a mass food poisoning just happened.”

“……That would have been a terrible sight to see. Now then, let’s get back on track. From the blue corner…… The only mother and daughter pair in this event! It’s a team of Duchess Albert’s maid, Lunamaria-san and the former top-ranked adventurer, she who is known as the “Bloody Princess”, Noir-san!”

Ohh, the next pair is Luna-san and Noir-san huh…… wait, arehh? It kind of feels like the light in Luna-san’s eyes disappeared…… It’s kind of like she had just escaped hell, but she was thrown into the pit immediately afterward.

I wonder why? Could it be that there is something related to their pairing?

“Let’s immediately hear them sing! Their song’s title is “Lovingly ☆ Lovely ~☆ Vampire”!”

[ ! ? ]

I think I heard the name of a song that’s giving me a headache right now. I mean, isn’t lovingly and lovely kind of overlapping with each other?

(T/N: lovingly is in hiragana, while lovely is katakana (those english words written with japanese characters)

Feeling a different kind of shock, I turn my attention to the two people singing on the stage…… What a tragic scene, this is.

No, the singing itself is good. It’s far better than the duo from earlier. However, ummm, this song…… It’s just like the opening song of those children cartoons they show on Sundays…… It’s a song with a “happy~ happy~” feeling to it.

Noir-san has a body as petite as a child, so she doesn’t look out of place singing a song like this. However, regarding Luna-san…… How should I say this…… It was a bit too spicy for my eyes.

The sight of Luna-san desperately squeezing out her voice in the midst of her dreadnought-class embarrassment, as if she was about to start crying, even brought tears to my eyes.

Unnn. I see, that’s why she appeared with such a tragic look on her face. I’m pretty sure Noir-san was the one who chose this song…… And Luna-san, unable to say no to her mother, had to sing this song with Noir-san.

What a tragic battle, this is. On one hand, a duo so tone-deaf that the word dissonance seemed mild to describe them. On the other hand, a duo performing something that I don’t think is something that should be seen by others…… In a sense, this could even be called a mudslinging match.

The song ended, and it was time to judge. I looked at the flags in my hand, before I glanced at Luna-san on the stage.

Noticing my gaze, she shook her half-crying her face as fast as she could. I could feel the thoughts “I’m begging you, please don’t let me win” being conveyed through her gaze.

“……The winner is Blue team! The duo of Lunamaria-san and Noir-san wins!!! Incidentally, since everyone knows the reason for their cause of defeat, I won’t ask the reason for Kaito-san’s decision this time.”

……I’m sorry, Luna-san. As expected, there’s no way I could allow Luna-san’s team to lose here. Putting aside if it was just me who was listening, I can’t let the audience hear Chronois-san and Life-san’s horrifying voices again.

Apologizing in my heart to Luna-san, who collapsed with a look of despair on her face, I decided to get my mind back on track and waited for the next match.

If it’s possible though, I’d like to see a high-level singing battle again, not a sad one like this……

“Now then, let’s start the third round! From the red corner…… She’s come! The great big shot! Not many people have even heard her voice, and of course, no one has ever seen her sing before! The God of Creation, Shallow Vernal-sama! And her partner is someone who also seldomly sings, but her occasional singing is immensely popular to the public! Our very own Underworld King! Kuromueina-san!”

“This is…… a really powerful duo, isn’t it? Underworld King is famous for very popular songs that she made a hundred year ago like “A Small Story”, and of course, Shallow Vernal-sama’s singing skills is the pinnacle of perfection, so this duo is a top candidate to win.”

“Incidentally, I was the one who wrote those songs lyrics!”

“That is…… something I didn’t know. Shall-tan, how many names did you have?”

“I stopped counting after it reached over 1000.”

A Small Story? Where have I heard that before…… Ahh, I remembered now. That’s the song Illness-san sung before, didn’t she? That was Kuro’s song huh……
