Chapter 82: More Audience Means…
Inside the event hall, a karaoke machine had been set up. Whether someone arranged it or simply thanks to the department store’s kindness, they were able to borrow it right away.
Most of the hero show’s audience hadn’t left. On the contrary, even more people had gathered, and there weren’t enough chairs anymore.
In other words—
"That means the singing contest is popular."
Top Chat: Wrong
Top Chat: How did it end up like this
Top Chat: Elf-san lol
Top Chat: Haven’t heard the word “singing contest” in forever lol
"Onii-san, it’s a match, but… have you ever done karaoke?"
"No."
"Um, okay. First, you enter either the song title, singer’s name, or part of the lyrics into the search box."
"Hmm, I see."
Top Chat: Starting from the absolute basics lol
Top Chat: Even though Kyouka-chan can sing at an insane level, will this even be a match?
Top Chat: How many times have I heard that line…
Top Chat: I know how this ends. Elf’s gonna do it anyway. This is the law of the savanna.
"I learned it."
Top Chat: Well done
Top Chat: Elf-san learned it in one go, good girl
Top Chat: That “I learned it” was cute
"Okay then… I’m going all out."
"Yeah!"
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Wait, was Kyouka-chan’s voice always this high?
Top Chat: Actually… I’ve heard this somewhere before…
Top Chat: Oh, the intro started
"—Hear it! Hear my voice! Hear it! Hear my song! Hear it! Hear my heart! I will never lose!"
Top Chat: That’s a Siren!
Top Chat: Whoaaa!
Top Chat: It’s the Siren’s “Confession Aria”!
Top Chat: She can hit the high notes too!
Top Chat: The pitch display is all gold!
Top Chat: Amazing! Even her voice is identical!
"—This feeling I’ve found! No one will get in the way anymore! Not even you will deny it! ‘I love you!’"
Top Chat: Not just similar…
Top Chat: She’s, um… way too good, right?
Top Chat: I just thought of something hard to say, but is everyone else feeling the same?
Top Chat: Probably the same.
Top Chat: Same here.
Top Chat: Wait, is this really just an imitation…?
"—Hear it! Hear my voice! Hear it! Hear my song! Hear it! Hear my heart! I… ‘love you!’"
When Kyouka finished singing and only the outro flowed, the silent venue finally began to stir.
It was probably the same words everyone wanted to say. They kept waiting in restless anticipation.
The moment the karaoke machine’s score appeared, the hall erupted in explosive cheers.
"Amazing!" "What was that just now!?" "The best!" "Bravo!"
Top Chat: 99.5…
Top Chat: And this is on a super strict machine
Top Chat: I’ve never even hit the 90s
Top Chat: Forget the score—look at the reaction!
Top Chat: The hype’s like a live concert!
Top Chat: This isn’t some karaoke master’s performance!?
"Onii-san, how was it? My song just now?"
"I learned it."
"Eh?"
"Alright then, I’m going."
"Ah, w-wait, Onii-san!?"
Top Chat: This is bad, this is reaaally bad!?
Top Chat: Wait wait wait waiiit!?
Top Chat: We’ve hit a crazy development!?
Top Chat: No, Elf-san! This was supposed to be the moment you said something like “I won’t lose” or “That was really good singing”!
Top Chat: This isn’t the cute kind of “I learned it”!
"—Hear it! Hear my voice! Hear it! Hear my song! Hear it! Hear my heart! I will never lose!"
"Ehhhh!?"
Top Chat: Different voice, but she’s actually good!?
Top Chat: Yeah, this is the point of no return…
Top Chat: GG, thanks for playing
Top Chat: Don’t give up so fast!
Top Chat: I knew it. Elf did it again. This is the law of the savanna.
"I won."
Top Chat: Ahhh, now what do we even do…
Top Chat: Whoa, so the machine really can show 100 points…
Top Chat: The first time I ever saw a perfect score, and Elf-san just overwrote the memory…
