Before I knew it, the Tag-team Karaoke Battle had started. I was sitting on a chair in front of the stage as a judge, holding a red and a blue flag.
Now then, I wonder who would be the first one to sing?
“Now, let’s start the first round! On the red side…… The Gorilla who burns in a fiery fighting spirit unsurpassable by none! …… The War King, giddo-san! And with him is the hot Demon Uncle who keeps his passion beneath his calm eyes, Ozma-san!”
With Alice’s introduction, a motivated giddo-san and a smiling Ozma-san went up on the stage. Hmmm, putting aside Ozma-san, I wonder how great of a singer giddo-san is? He has quite the loud voice, so I’m sure he would have the volu…….
“Well then, let’s hear you sing!”
Rather, giddo-san didn’t participate in his Humanoid form huh…… the microphone he had in hand is insanely big. Also, I wonder what song he’s going to sing? He looked like he would be the type who would bring excitent on the stage with a rock song……
While I was thinking about this, I heard Alice’s band starting to play on the side. Wait, arehh? The tune is slower than I expected…… Could this be a “ballad”?
As I was a bit surprised at the different tone of the song, giddo-san imdiately sang into his large microphone and started to sing…… with a beautiful voice that I could never imagine from his appearance!? He’s a great singer!?
He has a strong and stable bass…… Hmmm, he’s even better than I imagined. Ozma-san’s gentle voice also goes well with the ballad, surprisingly making it a talented singing duo.
When giddo-san and Ozma-san finished singing, the audience applauded.
“……Hmmm, War King is also great with his singing skills huh. It’s just our first contestant, and a champion candidate already ca out? Wait, Shall-tan, what’s the matter?”
“Bufufu…… A Gorilla singing a ballad…… it’s not even close to fitting…… this is that, isn’t it? He’s actually a new, never-seen species called Ballad Gorilla. Ahaha, it’s so funny, my stomach hurts!”
[Shalltear, you b*stard! I’ll rember this later!!!]
Putting Alice’s taunting aside, Fate-san is probably right in saying that giddo-san and Ozma-san could be a potential winner.
“Welly well then, that was an unexpected codic act, but it’s now the Blue side’s turn! She wants to quit being a King and beco a minstrel, sharing her songs to the three realms! The current king of the Hydra Kingdom, Laguna-san! And her partner is the miracle of the Elves! The Great Singing Sage! The Elven Elder, Fors-san!”
“Ohh, it’s a legendary heroes duo huh. wait, arehh? Doesn’t Forfor look smaller than I rembered?”
“According to my sources, her body shrunk due to a failed experint with a magic potion.”
“Heehhh…… Well, such things happen in life.”
They just easily dismissed her shrinkage as trivial as cutting one’s hair…… H- Hmmm. Oh well……
Laguna-san and Fors-san went up to the stage and faced giddo-san and Ozma-san.
[Ohh, if it isn’t Laguna! You won’t be lacking as an opponent…… Co at with all you got!]
[Well then, I’ll take your word for it. I will be in your care.]
I rembered hearing that giddo-san is very close to Hydra Kingdom. I guess Laguna-san and giddo-san know each other well.
Then, giddo-san and Ozma-san stepped down from the stage, and Laguna-san and Fors-san took their places in the middle of the stage.
[……By the way, Laguna?]
[Unnn? What is it?]
[After my body had shrunk, my voice obviously changed as well. I may end up holding you back. No, well, I used to dream of being a minstrel myself…… Though it did only last for about three minutes. I’m pretty proud of my singing ability, but I’ve only been humming for the last hundred years or so, so expect so blanks in my skill. Ahh, of course, I won’t be skimping with my singing……]
[Shut up already! Co on, get ready!!!]
After exchanging what seems to be a short skit, Laguna and Fors-san took the microphones and began to sing. Oddly enough, the song was also a ballad, just like what giddo-san’s team sang.
And they were quite good at it. giddo-san’s voice was better in terms of volu, but Laguna-san was better in terms of compatibility.
The voices of Laguna-san and Fors-san seed to work well together, raising the level of the song a step higher.
Of course, after they finished singing, there was a big round of applause.
“Ohh, isn’t this quite a good match…… I an, frankly speaking, their singing level is high. I was imagining that the singers today would be sothing casual……”
“……I don’t know how either of them can sing such a long song without getting tired of it. Amazing.”
“No, no, Fate-san…… That’s a strange part to praise upon. Also, the length of their songs is very common. I an, you’re going to be singing with later, so I’d like it if you take it if you take it seriously.”
“……I’ll be serious…… only for one phrase though.”
“That’s a bit short!”
A skit is developing over there as well. No, well, putting them aside…… Hmmm, this is hard. Both teams were pretty great, and each of them had different good points, so I’m hesitating as to pick which team should win.
“……Now then, Kaito-san. Raise the flag of the one you think was good!”
[……Blue!]
“Whoa! Kaito-san raised the blue flag…… That ans, Laguna-san and Fors-san’s team wins!”
The winning team I chose was Laguna-san and Fors-san’s team. Thereupon, Alice appeared in front of and pointed the microphone at my mouth.
“Incidentally, can you share the reason why? As expected, they lost because of the Gorilla, right? Was it the Ballad Gorilla?”
[……Shalltear, you b*stard! I will definitely kill you later!]
She’s still lightly taunting giddo-san at this ti. Well, I guess that’s to be expected of her. However, giddo-san only clenched his fists in frustration and didn’t go fight with Alice…… Probably because Kuro is here.
“……Errr, both of them were really great, so I found it difficult to decide. giddo-san’s team’s singing was indeed very good and had great stability. However, I don’t know if it’s because giddo-san’s voice was too overpowering, but it was a bit difficult for to hear Ozma-san singing.”
“Fumufumu, I guess that ans Laguna-san and Fors-san’s team were good in that area.”
“Yeah…… no, yes. They seed to be in tune with each other’s pitch and volu, so they’re balance was pretty great.”
“I see, thank you very much!”
After I spoke the reason why I had decided on the winner, though I was a bit nervous while saying it, Alice thanked and disappeared. I was worried about whether I conveyed the ssage well, but giddo-san and Laguna-san shook hands, so it seed like they were satisfied with my ssage.
However, the level of the match was really high from the first round. I guess that ans I can expect more of the sa level of singing in the second round.
“Now then, let’s start the second round! From the red side…… God Realm’s most troubled person, bringing in most of the bad luck into her body…… As for this person, based on my sources, everyone already knows their na, so I’ll introduce them by their na. The God of Ti and Space, Chronois-san!”
[……I feel ill intent from that introduction of yours……]
“And her partner was God Realm’s Sleeping Beauty, soone who I hardly see awake! God of Life, Life-san!”
[……I’m in your care.]
Next up is Chronois-san and Life-san’s team…… Another great pair. I didn’t really imagine Chronois-san would join an event like this…… but I guess Shiro-san told her to join.
She seed to have a lot of experience in singing, judging from the way she coolly walked up to the stage and held the microphone. I guess I can expect great singing from her……
“……Shall-tan, gim so “earplugs”.”
“Yes, here you go…… They are made to be completely sound-proof, so don’t worry.”
“Thanks……”
……Hmmm? Eh? Wait a mont there, I think I heard frightening words being said just now. Eh? No, no, both Chronois-san and Life-san looked like very capable office ladies.
However, there’s no way that they…… arehh? There are also so people covering their ears…… Eh? No way…… Seriously?
Dear Mom, Dad————– As expected from people with high specs, their songs are also of a very high level…… is what I was thinking, but the atmosphere suddenly turned kind of disturbing. There’s no way, right? There’s no way that Chronois-san and Life-san————– are bad singers or anything like that, right?
