Chapter 227: Celebration Party (2/2)
“…Uuuu, Mahirun just doesn’t have a song to sing, and doesn’t really want to. Basically, she usually plays piano tunes, or some foreign songs with lyrics to study English.”
“That kind of upbringing…as to be expected of Shiina-san.”
“You don’t listen to anything with Amane?”
“I don’t play any songs at home.”
Amane’s room had an audio component, but it was more akin got a decoration. After all, he was either sleeping or studying alone in his room, or reading. He would spend most of his time chatting with Mahiru in the living room, and studying with her.
“What about you guys, Makochin?”
“I just listen to some trendy pop songs…”
“I don’t really listen to any, just the piano pieces my grandma plays though.”
“That’s not normal…ah, speaking of music, Yuuta.”
Itsuki suddenly changed the topic, and clearly looked displeased as he looked at the gleeful Kadowaki.
“Why didn’t you tell us that you were performing a live show? I would have changed my shift if you told me.”
It seemed Itsuki had issues about Kadowaki performing a live show during the festival without them knowing, and was slapping away at the table while not spilling the drink.
Kuju was worried as the table was shaking, and it seemed he was present back then, we didn’t call you because we didn’t want you to cause a ruckus, for he muttered.
Kadowaki merely gave a wry smile at Itsuki, who seemed to have lots to say, but he looked unapologetic.
“I didn’t tell you because I knew you’ll do this. There’s no reason for you to see.”
“Amane and the others saw it. It’s so unfair⸺”
“It’s nothing. And anyway, don’t I always go to karaoke with you?”
“Well, I just want to see you perform. Whatever, I’ll let you off if you start a solo performance here.”
“Eh…”
The ridiculous request had Kadowaki lowering his eyes, and he met Amane in the eyes.
Amane quickly looked aside as he had a bad premonition, and he could sense Kadowaki sneering away.
“Let’s drag Fujimiya down too.”
“Why me!?”
“It’s karaoke. Everyone has to sing, right? Not like it changes things.”
“Woah, more live performers? Very good, more.”
Itsuki started adding fuel to the fire, for he sensed that Kadowaki would sing if Amane just in. Chitose and Kido might be getting high too, for they started cheering and teasing along.
Amane did not want to be a partner to a good singer, and turned to Mahiru for help⸺
“I do not believe I have heard you sing before, Amane-kun. It is a rare chance…”
She clearly was on Itsuki’s side. Itsuki, Kadowaki, you two remember this, and gave up as he reached for the microphone on the table.
