Chapter 110: In a Sense, Delicious
" and —that’s a real example."
Top Chat: Miserere?
Top Chat: Ah yeah, I know that one, delicious stuff
Top Chat: No way you know it!
Top Chat: Elf-san, what’s that?
"It’s about a thirteen-minute piece of double choir with nine voices. It was a secret work sung only three times a year at the Sistine Chapel. But in April 11, 1770, Mozart—only fourteen at the time—heard it once and apparently transcribed it almost perfectly."
Top Chat: Thirteen minutes of double choir sounds like a lot
Top Chat: Wow, you really know your stuff
Top Chat: Ehem
Top Chat: Not you, lol
"Sixty years later, apparently did the same thing."
Top Chat: That’s inhuman… but reproducible?
Top Chat: Well, both of them are immortal giants of history
Top Chat: So, what’s this conversation about?
"About people who are really good at playing by ear."
Top Chat: Lol, "good at playing by ear"
Top Chat: True, but it sounds so cheap now
Top Chat: This is about Kyōka-chan discerning the rhythms, huh
Top Chat: Ahh, so this proves it isn’t impossible
Top Chat: But why use a legendary example that only world-class geniuses managed?
Top Chat: Anyway, speaking of, Kyōka-chan just won, didn’t she?
"I won!"
"Tch…! Not bad, Siren!"
"Yes! Thank you very much, Kirishi-tan-san!"
"Hmph! I won’t lose next time! Just watch me!"
The third match, which started right after I got eliminated, was a soccer-style game where teams competed to smash one giant barrel-balloon into the opponent’s goal as many times as possible.
In this five-person team battle, Kyōka’s team controlled the key moments of the match.
Top Chat: Kyōka’s team landed long passes again and again, and they were strong in goal-mouth scrambles
Top Chat: The one around the 3-minute mark was insane
Top Chat: By contrast, Kirishi-tan’s team kept getting blocked, and even the goalposts seemed against them
Top Chat: Looked like bad luck
Top Chat: The lambs are weeping
"It wasn’t just luck. Siren played really well."
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan
Top Chat: Not coincidence?
Top Chat: You mean she moved with intention and made plays happen?
"I don’t know the method, but Siren had way too many timely assists."
Top Chat: Now that you mention it, she was always there somehow
Top Chat: Yeah, almost every key play involved Kyōka-chan
Top Chat: From what I saw, every scoring play had her in it
Top Chat: That’s a lot
Top Chat: How’d you do it?
"I worked really hard!"
"Specifically, how?"
"…I worked really hard?"
"Why did that sound like a question!?"
Top Chat: Lol
Top Chat: Foh-foh-foh, must be a secret forbidden technique, loli
Top Chat: Cut the loli
Top Chat: Nah, you need loli with 'nojya' speech!
Top Chat: Stop brain-binding yourself and give us a real answer
"Umm… like, I waited in spots where ally sounds were thin, and avoided spots where enemy sounds were thick…"
"You sound like Elf!"
"You’d go that far!?"
Top Chat: ROFL
Top Chat: Total instinct play, lol
Top Chat: And Elf-san is still worse—unanimous consensus
"Why so?"
Top Chat: Self-evident
Top Chat: No room for debate
Top Chat: It’s not a "why so" situation
"Why so?"
Top Chat: We’ve had this exact exchange before, lol
Top Chat: Whatever happened to the God of Reverse?
Top Chat: Ah yeah, I know that one, delicious stuff
Top Chat: No way you know it!
Top Chat: The result was "delicious" in its own way though, lol
Top Chat: And this time, too, she dropped dozens, didn’t she?
"Anyway, looks like Siren won the game… time to move on!"
"Yeah!"
"Let’s go! The final fourth match!"
Top Chat: Wooooo!!
Top Chat: Yeeeeahhh!!
Top Chat: Elf-san! Elf-san!
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan! Kirishi-tan!
Top Chat: Siren! Siren!
Top Chat: Elf-san! Elf-san!
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan! Kirishi-tan!
Top Chat: Siren! Siren!
Top Chat: Low-key happy Kyōka-chan isn’t shy around Kirishi-tan anymore
Top Chat: Ah yeah, I know that feeling, agree, love it
Top Chat: Say it’s delicious!
