Part 2 Chapter.5 Lulin and Song

“You know that. What I heard yesterday. “It was my favorite song.”

“Oh, you mean that?”

“huh. “Do you remember?”

“I remember.”

Lurin nodded.

“Do you want to hear that?”

“huh.”

I wanted to hear it, so I told it to you. Although I want to hear it with a slightly different meaning. Rurin said, bringing her eyebrows together with a “huum” sound.

“I wasn’t very good. that.”

“Can you still call me?”

If it’s not good, it’s not good. I want to hear it. I wanted to hear it, so I asked again.

“i get it. “Because if you ask me to call you, this body will call you.”

Then Lulin finally nodded. Before I could change my mind, I immediately found the song and played it. The music flows immediately.

As for this song, it was my favorite song when I was young. The reason it is in past tense is because it is a story from the past.

“There are three bears in one house. “Papa bear, Mama bear, baby bear.”

That’s because it’s a children’s song.

“It grows up.”

It was difficult for Rurin to distinguish between children’s songs and popular songs since she had only recently encountered singing. That’s why I sang the song very seriously. Who would laugh at that serious look?

When I ask you to sing, you sing so seriously.

“Puhahahaha!”

Of course, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, independent of my brain. You’re too serious.

Mama Bear, Daddy Bear, Baby Bear! In the part where bears appear one after another, Lurin was so cute that I wondered if she could be this cute.

“What is it? “Why are you smiling?”

“Oh no. That’s what it is.”

“So you mean that? What!”

When the song ends, Lurin holds the microphone and looks at me blankly. As I twitched, I sensed a mysterious atmosphere and shouted.

“Ugh? “Is something annoying you?”

“no. I just laughed because it was so cute. “Because my honey is so damn cute.”

“Because it’s cute? That’s a good thing. Cute things are good, so that’s good, but there’s something about your expression that I don’t like!”

“Sorry, that might be true. “Actually, I have to confess, the song I just sang was a children’s song and was sung by little kids.”

“kids? “If they’re kids, what about those little guys like this?”

“yes.”

A moment of silence began. Just about 3 seconds. And immediately explodes.

“What did you order me to do! I’m not a kid! Ugh!”

“Aaaahhh what are you doing?”

Lulin was blown away. He tried to fly towards me and kick. After barely avoiding it, he landed on the sofa and pouted.

“It was a joke. It was a joke. “Now come here.”

He hit the seat next to me again. Then, while grinning, he approached me.

“If it was red, you’d be dead! “Because it’s you, I won’t attack you again.”

“Okay, okay. So, calm down and since we’re at a karaoke bar, let’s make a karaoke-style bet.”

“A karaoke-like bet?”

“If you sing at karaoke, you get points, right? It’s simple. The person with the higher score wins. “If I win, how about canceling the 24-hour stay that I mentioned earlier?”

“Keuang? hate! “How did that come about?”

“You can win. Instead, if you win, I’ll extend it to 48 hours. how is it? Is 48 hours really that long? Isn’t 24 hours a bit short? Even if you just wake up, 12 hours are gone. Hehehe. Besides, you sing much better.”

I requested a match, citing the reasons why Rulin’s side is more advantageous and the reason that 24 hours is too short. I am desperate. Sobbing.

In fact, it would be nice to win the bet and gain freedom, or else it would only extend to 48 hours, so wouldn’t it be a game worth trying?

Stay together 24 hours a day.

It contains much more than just words. I have to do everything. Feed them food, give them shoes, socks, etc.

So, from my perspective, it would be good if it disappeared. Even if that’s not the case, it’s still there enough.

If you still want to stay together, you can just cling to me like this.

“how is it?”

As I said this, I wrapped my arm around Rurin’s shoulder next to me and hugged her tightly towards me.

“Don’t hug me while I’m thinking about it. My thoughts are becoming blurry!”

“So did you fall?”

“I don’t like that again. “I can’t help it since we’ve already hugged each other.”

“Then what is the decision?”

“I’ll think about that later after it’s over.”

“… What do you mean later? When are you going to leave?”

I thought it wouldn’t work, so I lifted Lurin up. Hug a polite princess. Then he put it down in front of the sofa and stepped back.

“Boo!”

“What kind of woo! “You failed, so make a decision quickly.”

“You seem like a cold-hearted person. “I also make decisions calmly.”

It was only then that I finally started to worry. I folded my arms, narrowed my eyes, and fell into deep thought for about three seconds.

His eyelashes fluttered, then he uncrossed his arms and shouted.

“good night! Because longer is better. There is no way this body will get tired! Hi-Hi.”

There seemed to be no intention of losing at all.

“you! Don’t forget. If I stick to it, this and that are all up to me! It’s my world! “You can’t vomit!”

“Yes! Yes. So, aren’t you trying to get rid of it like this?”

“I’m not going to lose, so how can you do that?”

Lulin widened his eyes. His expression shows that he genuinely doesn’t care if he loses. You are confident.

“What? Then you may get a big nose injury. “Lurin.”

“I don’t have a big nose?”

At my words, Lurin tilted her head while touching her nose.

“Well, the nose I’m talking about is not that nose.”

I shrugged my shoulders. If it were a pure singing competition, of course I would be no match. I know my singing skills best. His skills were not even close to Lurin’s.

But yeah. Hehehe.

Karaoke machine scores are never measured based on skill. It’s not like the karaoke machine has some kind of artificial intelligence.

“Okay then, let’s do it. “It’s a one-shot match?”

“i get it. Instead, you call first. “This body is the main character, so I will call you later.”

“So.”

What meaning does the order have? I was glad that the bet was accepted, so I took the microphone in my hand first.

There is a chance of winning. When it comes to karaoke machines, the more you shout, the better. The pitch should be high.

So I selected the song. A shouting song.

Cough.

“Ooooooooo! Yeaaaaa! “Nananana~ Nananana!”

First, start by yelling. Good.

“It’s noisy!”

Pop.

The song was turned off.

Lurin, who had figured out the system before she knew it, ran to the machine and turned off the song.

“What, why did you turn it off?”

“Sing a song. Why are you yelling? “I want to see you sing!”

“No, this is yellow too? “Don’t turn it off!”

“I also have betting conditions. I’m singing a song for myself. “Not the same lyrics!”

“Eh?”

Have you noticed that your score goes up when you scream? That can’t be possible. But you suddenly put a wagering condition on it?

“A song for you?”

“Yes. Doesn’t singing a song have that meaning? “I saw it on my phone.”

“No, it doesn’t usually have that meaning… ?”

Where and what did you see?

But Lulin’s expression was resolute.

“Can’t we just do it? “Yeoboniiyim?”

So I approached him and fawned over him. It is an expression of will that does not want to lose.

“Ugh? “Don’t look at me like that, you’re cute!”

My wife, who must have read an article about a song about a proposal, was very adamant. He even turns his back on me as if he doesn’t want to see me fawning over him.

I can’t help it.

A song for Lurin. What do you call it?

Nothing in particular comes to mind. The song repertoire is very small. When I think back to the time when I was transferred, there’s nothing I can do, right? When other people were in high school, I was fighting monsters on the battlefield.

So, I chose the song “The Day She First Cry” by Kim Gwang-O. First of all, this is the only song that comes to mind that explodes with emotion.

It’s also my favorite song.

“The day she first cried… .”

started singing. But this is a very quiet song. Among the songs with deep emotions, there are none that involve shouting.

However, I don’t have the confidence to say anything like confession.

Lurin guy.

Digging into blind spots.

Lulin looked at me with his chin resting, not even dreaming that he had delved into such a blind spot and ruined my secret strategy. Your eyes are so hot.

So, as a final struggle, I raised my voice. They say that the person with the loudest voice usually wins a fight, right?

Lurin’s gaze does not fall. It will break through. Should I say I’m embarrassed because I’m not that good at singing? That kind of feeling arises.

When the song was fully sung and the last piece of music played, Lurin jumped up.

“I don’t like your lyrics. “Why can’t I see your smiling face?”

“huh? Those are just lyrics. Besides, unlike the lyrics, I sang it with the intention of asking you to always smile, Lurin.”

“What makes you smile?”

“of course. When I first saw you on Rare, you didn’t even smile, you looked like you were crying. These are lyrics I want to dedicate to you when I first saw you. It’s so frustrating that I have to make you laugh now. Thinking like that… .”

Of course, I didn’t think that way the first day we met. Because I was simply looking for Lulin’s Lair to conduct research entrusted to me by the Dragon Lord.

“is it?”

“huh.”

“Whahahahaha!”

“No, I’m not talking about suddenly smiling like that.”

“What’s so complicated!”

I always like the happy smile he makes in front of me, but saying it in words feels very cringy, so I decided to hold back.

Bbangbarararang!

Meanwhile, the score was finally displayed.

94 points.

A whopping 94 points!

Oh yeah the score is very lucky. Isn’t this something you can’t afford to lose? haha.

“Well, you singing was cool. You sing well too. I think I have a bit of a crush. “I feel like my heart is pounding.”

“okay?”

“But what is 94 points? If 100 points are perfect, this body is 100 points! No matter how cool you are, you will not lose the game. “Woohi”

Lurin said and told me the song. This song is also one of the things I listen to on my phone every day.

It’s not a song that can be shouted at like that. It’s not a quiet song, though.

For now, the scoring was left to the karaoke machine. I hope you get a low score through luck.

“Nananana nananana~”

Lurin started playing with the notes. The sound is different from that of ordinary people. Lurin just praised me for singing well, but I think that was just a lie.

A song that resonated so well played, and I just stared at Lulin in fascination.

Then, Lurin, who was singing while holding the microphone, sneaks up to me.

And he poked my cheek with one finger.

“Hihi.”

“What is it?”

“I took a picture because the lyrics of the song say to take a picture of someone you like?”

Lurin shouted that during the interlude. And then he starts singing again.

As Lurin’s lively song ends, she smiles and makes a V sign. It is a smile that is certain of victory.

I do not know yet.

Is there anyone who has more of a do-or-die mentality than a karaoke machine?

I glared at the screen.

I approve of Lurin’s songs and just about anything else, so please give me a low score.

The moment when you pray and pray with that kind of wish in mind.

A karaoke machine displayed the score.

100 points.

A whopping 100 points were obtained.

What is this!

I don’t even like Lulin.

I just stood still and nodded as if it was very natural.
