After the singing battle…… No, I kinda don’t want to call this music showdown a singing battle…… After the “SINGING battle” was over, I decided to say hello to Megiddo-san and congratulate him on his victory.
……Well, I’m not going with everyone for this. I’m just going to go and say a quick hello……
[Megiddo-san, hello. Congratulations on your victory.]
[Ohh, if it isn’t Kaito! Thanks……. Even so, I didn’t expect Shalltear would show up here. Thanks to that, it was a fun battle…… Well, I do have some reservations about the fact that she gave away the win.]
[She gave away the win?]When I called out to him, Megiddo-san smiled brightly and responded. It seemed he was happy that he got to fight Alice, but it feels like he was a bit dissatisfied.
He’s saying she gave away the win, does that mean Alice lost on purpose? Well, Alice certainly wouldn’t care about winning or losing in a tournament like this.
[Yeah, she sang in a way that complemented my singing, even though she had a voice and presence opposite mine. That’s why, my singing sounded more like the main center of the performance, you know?]
[I did feel that Megiddo-san’s singing was better than hers in terms of volume…… but I didn’t realize that she was losing on purpose.]
[That Shalltear fellow did it really well. Not just Kaito, I don’t think most people wouldn’t realize it. The only one among the judges who noticed it was Blossom. See, that’s why she gave her full marks to Shalltear and not me.]
[I see.]
When Megiddo-san explained it to me, I understood. Indeed, their voices were beautifully harmonized, and Megiddo-san’s voice left a stronger impression on me.It was because Alice sang that way…… that only Blossom-san noticed it and gave Alice a perfect score for her technique.
[Well, even so, she really is skillful in that battle. She was even thinking about how the song would sound from a distance, and I can’t help but feel impressed by that.]
[Heehhh…… Well, I’m glad you had fun.]
[Yeah! However, the other world sure has some interesting stuff! Singing while fighting might sound simple in words, but when I actually tried it, there are a lot of tactics at play and it’s a very deep subject. Maybe I should build an arena dedicated for this back in my city……]
……They’re having a huge misconception, but just like Megiddo-san, it seems like most people, including the audience, seem to think that SINGING battles exist in my world.
I guess RINGTOSS and other stuff like that were spread along through misconceptions like this……
[Speaking of which, Kaito, what are you going to do now? I’m not going to participate any more, but I’m going to watch more of this SINGING battle for a while longer.]
Well, this was clearly a performance that Megiddo-san would like, so Megiddo-san staying here and watching this performance for a while more certainly was like him.
I mean, he’s probably seriously planning to build a dedicated facility for SINGING battle in his city.
[We’re planning to visit Fairy Princess Tirtania-san next.]
[Hoohhh, so you’re going to listen to the Fairy Orchestra huh.]
I heard about it from Eingana-san, but the musical group made up of fairies led by Tir-san…… the Fairy Orchestra seems to be a group famous in the world, so their performance here in the Harmonic Symphony was popular.
[The Fairies are also famous for the musical instruments they make. The instruments made by fairies are especially beautiful, with clear high notes. Their performances in the Harmonic Symphony were basically conducted with instruments made by Fairies, so if you pay attention to their high notes, you will enjoy the performance.]
[……I- I see.]
[What? The heck is with that strange expression of yours?]
No, I already knew this. I knew in my head that Megiddo-san is really knowledgeable about music and art, and that he knows enough to talk about things like this.
However, with Megiddo-san’s appearance…… I’m sorry, but knowing stuff like that doesn’t really suit him……
While I was thinking like this, Alice suddenly appeared beside me and spoke with an astounded expression on her face.
[No, Megiddo-san. I’ve said this many times before, but look in the mirror. That ain’t the face of someone who should talk about music. You’re like, 80% gorilla.]
[……Why 80%?]
[It’s because the 100% gorilla became your subordinate…… Well, putting him aside, even if you say that with that musclehead max of a face of yours, it really feels out of place. That’s why Kaito-san had that complicated look on his face, you know?]
[……You b*stard, you’ve been at it since earlier, you picking a fight?]
[If it’s a fight you want, I’ll give it to you…… is what I’d like to say, but let’s not do it here, okay?]
[……You’re right…… I certainly am having this bad feeling.]
What’s with that? That’s a strange conversation they’re having. I thought they were going to start a fight like they did at the Six Kings Festival, but they both settled their differences.
I tried looking in the direction they glanced earlier, but was there something over there?
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [……Why didn’t they fight?]
? ? ? : [Well…… I felt Kuro’s magic power nearby, so if we started fighting, we’d immediately be beaten to a pulp.]
Serious-senpai : [……Ahh, I see.]
