Hearing that both Soya and Yoshikawa would participate, Kirino Akane and some other students from Class B also agreed to Fushimi Keisuke's invitation.
Although many people backed down midway, the boys and girls who followed Fushimi to the karaoke room were still full of two private rooms.
After getting off the tram, Sogu had a serious look on his face on the way over.
After sitting down in the private room, facing the microphone passed to him, he silently shook his head to the side, indicating that the next person should sing, and the other person did not force him.
"Um... Souya-kun, are you in a bad mood?"
After exhaling, he shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry about me."
The two girls sitting together looked at each other and said, "Is it because Yoshikawa-san went to the private room next door?"
"..."
This was a good reason for not wanting to sing, so Zonggu didn't deny it.
"Sure enough, it would be better to let her come back..."
"No." He picked up the drink, took a sip, and leaned back, "That's it."
"……All right."
After a brief lag, the atmosphere in the private room was not greatly affected, and soon became heated again, but no one would pass the microphone to Zong Gu again.
Except for a few boys, not many people came here to sing. They were all chatting with people they were interested in.
Or you may be chatting with others in front of people you are interested in, saying bizarre content in an exaggerated tone, trying to attract the other person's attention.
"...Isn't the Gion Festival being held in Kyoto recently? Last Sunday night, I saw a very beautiful young woman suddenly flying in Pontocho. Do you think she was attracted by the festival?
Goddess?"
"Eh~ It's impossible."
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"It's a nice urban ghost story. Have you taken a photo?"
"No...she disappeared quickly."
"It's really an illusion. Did Zhizi drink secretly?"
"Drink, just drink... No, I was sober at the time!"
Seeing that Sotani was also attracted by her words, she continued: "I really saw that woman flying out of the second floor window and disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye... Sotani-san, do you think that might be a goddess?"
Zong Gu looked at her for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Ichihara-san, it is illegal for minors to drink alcohol."
"Eh...ah, yes..."
The members in the private rooms on both sides are not fixed and change frequently.
After sitting there for a while, seeing that the girl who had witnessed Tachibana flying into the sky seemed to want to say something else, Sogu got up and went to the private room next door before she could say anything.
"Soya!"
Akane Kirino waved in the corner, he walked over, and Anko was sitting next to him.
No one was singing at the moment, so she reached out for the microphone.
"Xiaoxue, give me the microphone, Zonggu wants to sing."
"..."
When facing someone he is extremely familiar with, Zonggu is more direct, "I don't sing."
"Why?"
"My throat feels uncomfortable."
"Why?" She asked again in the same tone without moving.
"...it doesn't sound good."
"All right."
Akane Kirino smiled slightly, took the microphone anyway, lowered her head and searched for the song on the karaoke player.
"You seem to be enjoying it."
"It's okay~"
No wonder Hongzi, who said she wanted to run away together before, never went to the private room next door to look for him.
Kirino Akane is in high spirits, and starting today, Asagiri Suzu is going to Kyoto for a few days and will not go back to Kirino's old house at night, so Soya is no longer in a hurry to leave.
She was holding the tablet computer and searching for the song she wanted to sing. Souya looked at it casually and suddenly turned to look at Hongzi.
"..."
Looking at the MV projected on the wall nonchalantly, she moved a little closer to him and put her right hand on the back of his hand.
Kirino Akane on the other side also looked over, "Akoko, do you want to sing a duet with me?"
"..."
Being stared at by her, Hongzi subconsciously wanted to take back her hand, but Sogu held it back.
The light in the corner was dim, and there was a rotating colored light hanging on the top of the private room. Every time the ambiguous light swept over her body and her grasped hand, her heartbeat accelerated a little.
"Well, forget it...there are too many people, I'm a little nervous..."
Kirino Akane smiled, didn't say anything, didn't notice the two people's little moves, and turned back to continue selecting songs.
Zonggu let go, and then his arm was hit several times.
"Hongzi still wants to sing?"
"Don't sing!"
...
People in the private room came and went several times, and Fushimi finally noticed Soya in the corner.
"Tirino, let's change places."
Kirino Akane stood up and leaned close to Anko. Soya sat on her seat, and Fushimi sat down next to her.
"Without further ado, let's sing a chorus."
"Do you want a beating?"
Fushimi smiled and then said, "Summer vacation is about to begin. What are Soya's plans?"
"For the time being, I will go to Kyushu and Kanto. As for other arrangements, we will see the situation at that time."
"Kyushu and Kanto...are you going to travel?"
"Absolutely." Soya looked at the lanterns above his head, "I plan to go there and visit some of the less well-known shrines in the area."
"...What shrine? Did it offend you?"
"Tsukuyomi Shrine."
"Never heard of it."
Zong Gu also only laughed once and then stopped laughing.
"That's great..."
Fushimi leaned back and said, "In August, I have to go to the countryside to stay."
"Where?" Soya asked.
"The small rural village over Ishikawa is where my father was born. It's so remote that there are only two buses a day, but his old man has to go back every summer."
"Yeah."
"Where's Sogu? Will you go back to Northeast China?"
"I don't have any plans for the moment."
The two chatted for a while, and Fushimi, who got the microphone, sang loudly, and then changed the chorus part to "I really don't want to go back to the countryside, the countryside with nothing", successfully singing to the girls in the private room.
Went next door;
Seeing that besides Akane Kirino and Anko, there were other girls left behind, he left Soya behind and went to talk to them.
It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that the party, which was temporarily organized after the exam, finally came to an end when the karaoke service staff called to ask if it would be extended, and Fushimi said it was not necessary.
"Then I'll see you at the graduation ceremony in a few days."
"Well, bye."
Fushimi got on the bus and left. Soya and the three of them walked towards the station, while the others had already dispersed.
"The final exam is over too."
Arriving at the station and waiting for the train on the platform, Kirino Akane suddenly spoke.
Zong Gu turned to look at her, "Yeah."
"Summer vacation has already begun."
"Almost." He lowered his head and looked at himself again, "Although he is still wearing the school uniform."
"Go to the beach tomorrow!"
"The graduation ceremony will be in a few days. If you don't mind staying in Kyushu for a day or two before rushing back, you can leave tomorrow."
Kirino Akane sighed, "It would be great if it was the day after the graduation ceremony when I woke up."
Soya looked at the train approaching in the distance, "There is too much time to jump, and I have to go to Kyoto to participate in the Gion Festival."
"The Yamaboko patrol the day after tomorrow?"
"Um."
"Is this also work?" she asked again.
"..."
Amidst the sharp sound of the tram slowing down and entering the station, Soya remained silent, and the tram quickly stopped in front of him.
"A lot of people."
"ah……"
After squeezing into the car, there were no empty seats in sight. The three of them stood near the door, holding the armrests and leaning on each other.
After a while, the tram restarted.
Although he was on guard, a slight shake when accelerating from the start caused Anko to fall towards Soya.
Before he could free his hand, she regained her balance.
"Isn't it work?"
"..."
Hongzi looked at him, and Kirino Akane also looked over.
