The gift from God
Once we entered in the karaoke, a receptionist welcomed us.
「Welcome costumers! Ah! Yamamoto-kun, Kyousuke-kun, it's been a while.」
Since we often went to this karaoke, Shuichi and me were acquainted with the receptionist.
It was the most popular one near our house and the receptionist, Ayano Kurosaki was a really charming young women who was really friendly towards everyone, resulting in her attracting a lot of loyal costumers.
Shuichi went in front of the reception desk while I slightly far away smiling and waving with my hand behind Shuichi to greet her.
「Hello Ayano-san how are you doing? We're coming with our classmates. Do you have any large room available for 18 people?」
Shuichi who was in front of the group asked.
The girl searched through the papers in front of her desk looking for any large room available, then bowed to him and apologized him.
「I'm sorry, right now all the large room are busy. Only normal room are available」
After a long reflection, Shuichi who was the organizer and also leader of the group came back while sighing.
「It seems like not a single large room is available, what you want to do? I think the better idea is to split into three group. I honestly don't want to go in another karaoke.」
The other karaoke were more far away than this one and needed about thirty to forty-fives minutes from walking, we could also take the bus but then we won't be able to sing much since it was already late.
We decided to play to 『Who gets the short straw?』and divided into 3 groups since only 6 people could be together on a normal room.
On my group were Shuichi, Tanamichi and 4 others girls while the others groups were composed of 4 boys and 2 girls.
We can say that we were fortunate compared to the others boys, but after looking at the boys' cold eyes from jealousy because of having Tanamachi and 3 others beauty in our group, I feel that it's going to be hard to become friends with them later on if Shuichi or me get a flag.
『Who gets the short straw?』what a stupid game...
Once we entered inside the karaoke room, we ordered drinks and started introducing ourselves to each others.
Sitting next to Tanamichi was a twin tailed girl with chestnut hair called Izumi Furukawa.
Her looks seems always somewhat serious and every time Shuichi or me glanced at her, she'll glared back at us with frightening eyes.

I actually think that Tanamichi and Furukawa seems to be both as cold as Ice, but their appearance fits well with their profile.
It must also be the reason why they seems to get along so well, which make me wonder how long a boy can actually go out with those dangerous girls...
Thankfully, the 2 other girls were a little more open minded and friendly than Tanamichi and Furukawa.
Amari Hamamoto was a brown haired shy looking girl with blue eyes with glasses, she was the kind of perfect looking Japanese bishōjo girl that anyone want to marry, her thin body yet big breasts was amazingly shocking for her age.
She was glancing at me every time I wasn't looking at her and when we met eyes contact, she would then avert her eyes away from me and look back few seconds later.
It somehow strange that I couldn't remember of such a cute girl in my memories.
While we were exchanging glance with each other, I could also noticed Akemi Harakawa, the cool looking beauty with red hair and beautiful honey eyes looking at us while plotting with Shuichi and whispering to each other.
Harakawa introduced herself as Hamamoto's childhood friend, it was indeed a good match like Shuichi and me, their personality were both totally differents compared to each other.
After talking for a little while, the waiter entered inside our room and putted the drinks on the table.
Shuichi who was waiting for the drinks to arrive, started to choose a song and gave the remote controller to the girls until that it was finally my turn to choose the song.
Once we finished choosing the song, Shuichi directed towards the microphone and started singing.
Shuichi's first song was Not Found from Mr Children, it was a song that has been released few years ago.
A truly marvellous song that the singer wanted to express about the regret of a man who broke up with her lover.
It was a really good song back in the time, but was shocked me wasn't the fact that Shuichi choosed this song, but the fact that the moment he started singing, words like 『Great』『Bad』or 『Perfect』were showing in front of my eyes.
Each time Shuichi missed in his spelling while singing or didn't used the correct tone, the words 『Bad』appeared in front of my eyes.
Is that also an ability that God gave me? Lost in thought, I keep looking at Shuichi who was enjoying his song.
Once he finished singing, numbers appeared on the TV screen that showed his total score.
The girls clapped their hands cheering Shuichi, the score on the TV showed 95 and his singing was not bad but in front of my eyes, only a score of 43 was showing next to the words『Total Score』 with the summary of what was good or bad was showing in front of me.
This ability was really amazing, with this not only I can know If my singing is good, but I can also know what were the mistakes he made while he was singing.
As I was intently watching all the information that was writing inside the summary of Shuichi's song, Harakawa went towards the micro and started singing her song.
Shuichi who noticed me deep in thought whispered in my ear.
「Hehe, I sang really well don't you think? Harakawa-chan was looking at me with a surprised face, I'm sure she never expected someone like me to sing so well.」
I paid no mind about what he said and instead told him every mistakes he made.
「I think that your voice was a little rough and your voice trembled too much during the first verse and also...」
「....」
Shuichi looked at me with disbelieving eyes, well I can understand him since I talked aloud without thinking.
「Oh never mind it, I was just talking to myself」
「Is that so? I didn't noticed it while I was singing uhuh.」
Shuichi laughed then tapped my back and said in a provocative tone.
「Instead of spouting no sense, just get ready since the next song is yours. If I you don't have a higher score than me, then you'll pay me something to eat next time!」
Oh, he's right, I didn't noticed it but Harakawa already finished her song and it was my turn after her...
「....」
「I'm going to the toilet, I'll be back quick」
I didn't want to embarrass myself, it has been more than 3 years that I didn't sang a single song, thus, I quickly went to the toilet and started training my voice.
