“……Come on, who wants to sing first?”
“We, as adults, should take the lead here… That’s fine, but shouldn’t it be these two who are the main players?”
“I think that’s fine.”
“Me, too♪”
We are now …..at karaoke with my family and Saaya’s family.
I’m sure there are some people who are wondering what happened to the entrance exam, but I want you to rest assured.
“Futaba and Saaya, who successfully passed the entrance exam to a prestigious school! Sing a duet for us!”
We’re here under the title of a congratulations party for our success.
We successfully passed the exam …… But the stress after the exam was terrible. …… Seriously.
[Ah mouu, I can’t take it anymore, I’m done, I’m really depressed.]
[Are you that depressed …….?]
I took a self-assessment and the result was that I didn’t seem to do very well. I’m good at math, and I wasn’t sure I was doing too well.
But there’s a strange thing about taking entrance exams…even if you don’t feel like you’re doing well, you can pass the exam. When I found out I had passed, I was invincible.
[They’re going to announce it soon, Futaba-kun.]
[I’m going to fail anyway, what if I fail, will my parents be disappointed hahahaha]
[I cheer you up the next day you’re depressed. …..Look, you’re getting in anyway.]
[Ugh. ….. I can’t do math if I don’t get a perfect score.]
[Maybe he lost his senses because I got a perfect score in all of them. …….]
I said it’s impossible when I don’t get a perfect score in math, my strongest subject, but it’s still in the low 90s. ….. The other subjects are also getting decent scores, so they should be fine, but the people around me are Saaya, who is a genius, Yuki, who has continued to study hard after her reincarnation, and Rei and Kaname, who are very smart in some way….. The people around me were so smart that my self-esteem had gone away on its own.
[Ah, it’s time, Futaba-kun.]
[Yeah …… I know.]
[……….]
[……….]
[Yess!! I got in!]
[Fufu, Futaba-kun.]
[Aaah!]
Well, …… That feeling was awesome, that feeling of brain juice overflowing. …… It was intense.
If I’d studied harder before, this wouldn’t have happened, so I’ll study harder after high school, I really will.
“I’m going to sing solo first!”
“I won’t laugh if you’re tone deaf.”
“Oh yeah, I’ll look forward to it.”
“Futaba, take it easy.”
“Good luck, Futaba kun.”
“Let’s do it, Futaba kun♪”
Then I started to sing in high spirits. ……. It has been a while since I’ve been to a karaoke bar since the summer vacation with Kaname and others. However, it felt surprisingly good to sing for the first time in a while, and it was quite fun.
“…….Hahaha♪”
“Saaya-chan? What’s wrong, you suddenly started laughing?”
“No, I thought it was the first time in a while that I saw his smiling face.”
“Well…… I haven’t seen it in a long time.”
“His smile cheers me up a lot.”
“Yes, I also feel energized when I see my son smiling.”
Mom and Saaya are happily talking about something: ….. I’m curious and I’ll ask them later. And so….I finished singing the first beat.
“You were singing well, weren’t you?”
“It felt good to sing for the first time in a while.”
“Did it relieve your stress?”
“Yeah, I did. ….. By the way, Saaya. what were you talking to my mother about earlier?”
“Well….that’s after I finish singing.”
“Okaay”
With those words left behind, Saaya also began to sing.
She is a beautiful girl, or how can I say it ……. Her voice is so beautiful and she sounds like a diva with her beautiful high notes.
(…….. Hmmm, it’s still very emotional.)
In my previous life, I would go out to karaoke basically alone, never with friends, and I never dreamed of going to karaoke with my childhood friends and our families.
(…… I wonder how reincarnation works.)
I’ve been trying to figure out how reincarnation happens in my spare time for the past 15 years since I got reincarnated, and I’ve got no idea. Well, it’s not surprising.
But it’s something ……. It’s a feeling you don’t seem to understand, you don’t understand how anything works.
“Hey, Futaba-kun.”
“……..hnn?”
“I’ve already finished my song, you know?”
“Aah …… Well, I just thought you had a beautiful voice.”
“Hee, that’s nice to hear.”
I was thinking about it and before I knew it, Saaya’s song was over.
It seemed like I was thinking more deeply than I expected.
“So? What were you talking about with mother earlier?”
“That was”
“We were talking about how cute Futaba is♪”
“……. What?”
I was talking to Saaya and my mom interrupted me. …… What did you say?
“You know…… Cute doesn’t make boys happy, you know?”
“I don’t know what to say…It’s only natural that my son is cool and cute…well, anyway, a son’s smile is the only thing that parents see. It’s a unique treasure.”
“…….. I see.”
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by my mother’s words. …… The fathers looked at me as if they were smiling at me, and as for Saaya ……she is grinning from ear to ear.
“Hmm, you’re embarrassed, aren’t you, Futaba-kun?”
“You’re so annoying!”
“Hahaha♪”
Saaya was grinning so much that it annoyed me, so I let out a loud voice, but it seemed to be meaningless to Saaya.
“Well, well, Futaba-kun, ……I’m in your care in high school, okay?”
“That’s out of the blue. ……well I’m in your care”
“Even in high school,──let’s get along well okay♡”
“Yeah, of course.”
…Well, somehow, our lives have moved up a notch from middle school to high school.
