589-Too cheat






 Mr. Cronor and Mr. Life's song ends... well, what can I say? It was 'hell' to say the least.
 Both Kronor and Leif's voices themselves are incredibly beautiful. Kuronoa's voice is dignified, and Leif's is gentle and soft... but they didn't make the best use of the material at all.

 If I had to describe it, it would be as if the dissonance and dissonance caused a mysterious chemical reaction that turned into 'even more horrible nanika'... it was the first time in my life I've ever experienced 'I felt like throwing up when I heard the song'.... I didn't want to experience this for the rest of my life if possible.
 I don't know, I don't know how it came to be so tragic.......why do Kronor and Leif have a 'look of accomplishment' while performing such a tragic singing voice...... (laughs)

 Maybe, but... you two don't know you're a terrible singer, do you? It's true that the two of them, who are in the position of the supreme gods, can't be said to be bad at it head on.......

''........It's a terrible song. The sound of a pig's cry is still more artistic.
"...what?

  And I'm afraid of Kuronoa-san and Leif, who are seriously surprised.
 Oh, maybe they both had confidence in their singing. Then I wonder if White had nothing to do with this case?

"Oh? We have received a message from the head of the Divine Realm, Lord Sharovanar, the Creator God, which reads 'In my name, the God of Time and Space and the God of Life, I forbid you to perform your songs to others from tomorrow onwards.'
"Lord Shalovanal!

 A ban has been imposed in the name of the Creator God! I wonder if the fact that it's after tomorrow is a consideration in case they both go on to win? No, I don't think there is anyone who sings worse than these two....

''Well, now that we have a neat ending, let's move on. Come on, Fate-san, please take off your earplugs.
''........It's great, isn't it? I wonder what's going to happen to the scene like mass food poisoning at a karaoke contest?
''That was a terrible incident. Now let's get back to it, Blue is the only father-son pair in the tournament! It's a pair of Duke Albert family maids, Lunamaria-san and former top adventurer and 'Fresh Blood Princess', Noah-san!''

 Whoa, the next pairing of Luna and Noah........what? It's like the highlights in Luna's eyes are disappearing... I feel like hell is supposed to be over, but she looks like she's about to take on more hell.
 What is it? Could it be that there is something to this pair?

The title of the song is "Koi suru lavri~☆vampire". The name of the song is "Koisuru Raburi~☆Vampire"!
Huh?

 I think I heard a song title that makes my head hurt now. I mean, isn't the name of the song a subtle clash between "In Love" and "Lovely"?

 I look at the two of them on the stage as they begin to sing, in a different kind of shock than before... This is terrible.
 No, the singing itself is good. The singing itself is good, the level of difference between them and the duo from earlier is a far cry from that of the other day. But the song is kind of like the opening of a children's cartoon or something... it's kind of a jerky song.

 Noah's body is small like a child's, so I don't feel comfortable with him yet.
 The sight of Luna-san, who is about to cry out, desperately squeezing out her voice amidst the IJN's sense of shame, even invites tears.

 I see. I see, that's why she appeared with such a terrible face. This, the song choice must be Noah-san.......and Luna-san couldn't say no and had to sing it, or something like that.
 It's a terrible, terrible battle. On the one hand, a tone-deaf duo to the point where the word "dissonant" is lukewarm. On the other hand, they looked as if they were being shown something they shouldn't see... In a sense, they could be called a mud-slinging match.

 Then the song ended and it was time for the judges to decide. I look at the flags in each hand and then glance at Luna-san on the stage.
 When Luna-san noticed my gaze, she shook her half-sobbing face as hard as she could. ''Please don't let me win, please don't let me go on winning,'' and that kind of intention can be conveyed to me as much as this.

''........The decision is blue! Lunamaria and Noah, the duo won! By the way, I don't need to ask you about the cause of the loss, so I'm not going to ask you why you made the decision this time.

 .........I'm sorry, Luna-san. This, as expected, I can't let Luna-san and the others lose. I don't care if I'm the only one affected, I can't let the people in the hall hear that tragic singing voice again.
 I apologize to Luna-san as she collapses with a look of despair on her face, while I change my mind and wait for the next match.

 If possible, I'd like to have a high level fight next time, not a sad fight like this.......

''Then it's the third fight! Red is here! Big deal! Not many people have even heard that voice, and of course it's the first time we've seen it sung, etc.! Lord Shalovanar, the Creator! And the duo is our own Pluto, who rarely sings, but is immensely popular for his occasional singing voice. It's Mr. Chrome-Aina!
''This is........a perfect choice. The Dark Lord is famous for things like "A Little Story" which was very popular 100 years ago, and of course Lord Shalovanal's song is perfectly set, so he's the leading contender.'
"By the way, I wrote the lyrics to this song!
''That's ... I didn't know that. How many names do you have, Char-tan?''
You haven't counted beyond a thousand.

 A little story? Where have I heard this song before but oh, I remember now. That's the song Mr. Illness was singing. That was Black's song, wasn't it....
 And Alice........you again. You've made a name for yourself in too many areas, or perhaps you definitely did that to make money. The fact that patents exist means it's no wonder you have copyrights and such........

 But the almost omnipotent White and Kuro, who is also a famous singer.............................this could really be a winner.
 Mr. White and Kuro prepare with quiet movements that even feel dignified, and begin to sing - whoa!

 Huh? No, this is too good. It's already a piece of music, or should I say a high art, but it's just amazing. Especially White's. It was as if her voice was resonating directly from her heart, her voice was overwhelming. It wasn't exactly a ballad, but it brought tears to my eyes.
 I can't find the words to describe it. She was just singing, but her presence was so strong that I couldn't take my eyes off of her for a moment.

 The next thing you know, the song was over in a flash, and a hush fell over the venue. Then, after a short pause, cracking cheers and applause rang out.

''This........is outrageous. It's truly the voice of God, I feel like I've been shown the difference in rank.''
''You are very good, Shallow Vernal-sama. Shouldn't this be a victory for Shalovanal-sama?

 Even that Alice can't seem to hide her surprise at White's singing voice. Their ranks are literally different........this is quite a pressure for the duo who are competing against each other......

''.........Sorry. This is a bit pitiful, but let's have the blue duo sing as well. I'm the town's gentle doctor and sister, and I've sung hymns and other hymns before. Mr. Fea! And will the duo be able to sing in that armor? It's a magical armor, so your voice doesn't interfere with your voice.......it's a combination of Noin-san!''
Noin, you can't do this. You can't win.


 It's Fea-sensei and Noin-san who stand up to the combination of Shiro-san and Kuro... but after that song, I still feel deflated.
 The judge is the one I like, so it's certainly not just about the singing ability. However, I don't think a half-hearted song can surpass the impact of that song.

 While I was thinking about this, the instruments that Alice's band had were changing. Koto or shamisen? Could it be a Japanese song?
 It's kind of interesting. If it's like a Japanese folk song, the tune is unique and it's a bit familiar to me.
 And then, as is the norm, Alice played her instrument, and when the song started.......for some reason, Fear-sensei had a panicked look on her face.

''Eh? What is this? What is this song? Hey, Nein! I told you to pick a major song! There's a song coming from an instrument I've never seen before that I've never heard before!
Well I thought it was a famous song, but...
'Isn't that just the world Noin was famous in! Oh, God, I shouldn't have let you choose the music!

  I don't remember where this song is from, but I remember hearing it at a summer festival or something.
 I guess it's a reasonably famous song, but that's only in Japan. Mr. Fea, who was born and raised in a different world, would never understand it.

 And in the end, the song ended with only Mr. Noin singing it. I quietly raised the red flag.

''........I think the song selection was not bad, but it can't be a song that my partner doesn't know.
'Is that the song from Kai's world? In that sense, it really would have been a good choice, but........By the way, Char-tan, can you sing that thing?'
"Can you sing in your spare time?
"....isn't Charu-tan amazing~

 When Alice told her that she could also sing Japanese folk songs, Fate-san made a slightly dumbfounded expression, but she seemed to have been bothered by the idea of rushing in, and ended the conversation with an assertive smile.

''.........Now, let's get back on track and move on. Red........I've never heard this person sing before either, so his ability is unknown. If anything, his image color is blue, but this time he's in red! It's the Dead King, Mr. Isis! And there's a famous story that positions singing as a dialogue with nature. And when it comes to singing, the spirit people, at the top of their game, can't be bad at it! World King, this is Mr. Lillywood!
''Hmmm, the Death King is an unknown quantity, but the World King is an absurdly good singer, isn't he?
''Yes, the spirit tribe has been performing beautiful songs every year at the Heroic Festival. Their top performers are also of course capable of doing just that. This looks promising.''

 The next speaker was Isis and Lilliwood, a good friend of the audience. When Isis took the stage, she glanced at me and gave me a small wave with a bashful smile. Cute.

 Dear Mom and Dad - the karaoke competition goes on with all sorts of upheaval. Kronor and Leif's song was shocking, but it was still White who surprised me the most. That person is really - too cheeky.
