Chapter 34: Little Songbirds

—

Nothing much worth ntioning happened after school ended and we returned ho. At night though, the production director of LoveMy sent a voice ssage in our LINE group chat to let us know about the next shooting's details.

["We will be leaving for a trip tomorrow evening after y'all's school ends. We are visiting Mt. Fuji this ti. Don't worry, we aren't gonna climb it, it's closed at this ti of the year anyway, we'll only spend our ti around its outskirts. In a resort, on a hill. We have reserved a resort for you kids to stay in since we'll be spending the next three days there."]

The next three days. I suppose the next episode will start with us getting into the bus, and then spending so ti in the resort, while the episode after that will have us explore the area and return. Not bad.

However, this ti I'll have to ask for a proper leave from Shizuka Sensei.

"Speaking of," I muttered as I lay on my bed, chewing gum. "I wonder when Shoko will return. I want to et her tomorrow, otherwise we'll have to wait until after I return from the trip."

Soon, the night rolled to an end and the brilliant sun shone over the world. I awoke from my slumber and soon found myself in my classroom.

....

The buzzing of children filled my ears as I took my seat. I put my hand on my chin and looked outside the window. The seat to my left was empty; the view would have been much better if that was my seat.

Nobody ca to interrupt . Socializing in this place didn't interest much, so while people tried to talk to before, I hadn't entertained them enough that they'd co to talk to again. Thanks to my size and the general appearance of a prince living in a different land, the kids in the class liked to watch from afar.

To ignore the gaze I could feel even right now, mostly girls staring at my distant gaze, I closed my eyes. The right side of my face rested on my hand as I buzzed off all sounds from my surroundings and humd a song in a low tone.

"Stay with ..."

Huh? But that's what I'm humming-?

"Mayonaka no door wo tataki...

Kaeranaide to naita ano kisetsu ga ima no mae~"

I frowned and opened my eyes hearing a subtle singing in my ear, matching my hum. I blinked involuntarily when I found a face too close to mine, pink eyes staring into mine as her similarly pink lips moved to sing along my hum.

"Hey, isn't that..."

"She looks kinda different."

"What's up with that voice?!"

She smiled when I opened my mouth and couldn't say anything. Her voice had a level of fluidity and pitch that humans should be forbidden from having, enough to captivate my current human ears. My shock seed to fuel her ego as she grinned, her volu increasing along with it. She took a step back, standing high and singing in a voice that made all the students turn to her.

"Stay With ... Mayonaka No Door Wo Tataki~ Kaeranaide To Naita Ano Kietsu Ga Ima No Mae." Shoko trailed off in a long tone, spending a few seconds taking the gazes of everyone, before locking eyes with again. Her gaze lasted a lifeti. "Do you think the 'operation' was a success, Aqua?"

How do I tell her that I'd have dragged her to my room right now if this was my 9th life? Her voice was sweet beyond words, a part of wanted to make her do all kinds of sounds. Plus, she had her usually loose and ssy hair in a clean ponytail, she looked so much more confident now.
