The gift from God part II
Someone please~ tell me~ where I should go
Someone please~ tell me~ what I can do
When I look up, there's rain~, when I turn back, there’s a wall~
Even just the scenery~ around me increases my heartache~
I’m alone just before sunrise~
I walk without a purpose~, but still don’t find it~
No matter how many times I look for the answer~
The more I think about it, the less I understand~
Should I let the light into my eyes?
Should I walk one step at a time?
I try looking up at the moon~
My heartbeat was snatched away in those days~, that time
I’ll get back~ even the fiery red passion~
I will make it through~ that darkness~
Even the shadow following behind me will disappear~
I will face the things~ I can't see~
Gain hopes and courage~
On a journey that will continue~ tomorrow
I’ll go forward~ one step at a time~
Praying for the future~
I will make it through~ that darkness~
To the infinite blue sky~ I’m looking for~
No matter how much~ I keep looking,
I can’t find the answer~
I let the light~ into my eyes~
I move forward~ with my heart as it is~
The night will become day~
I will face the things~ I can't see
Gain hopes and courage~
On a journey~ that will continue tomorrow~
I’ll go forward~ one step at a time
Praying for the future~
I try looking at the moon~
To a colorful~ world
To a colorful~ world
The moment I finished singing my song, the numbers climbed and stopped at 78 on the TV screen.
I was quite disappointed but it can't be helped since I made a lot of mistakes, I misspelled during the second verse which make me panicked and failed the whole song.
In front of my eyes, the summary was showing a 『Total Score』 of 39 which was worst than Shuichi.
While watching in detailed my own mistakes, a message popped in front of me like a game system which surprised me.
Song 『Colorful』 has been added in your song repertory.
You won +10% exp.
+1 Charm
+1 Performance
+1 Fluidity
+1 Inspiration
I rubbed my eyes, but message was still there... which mean this must also be an ability God gave me.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
When I tried to concentrate on the +1 Charm, another message popped next to the message showing more detailed information about the stat. 『Charm』
『Charm』
Increase the look of the person and the charm of its voice.
Increasing this stat also increase the tune of your voice, becoming more softer and deeper.
Before I could checked the others stat, applause could be heard from the side.
Shuichi was looking at me with an amazed expression, Tanamichi frown her eyebrows and was slightly surprised but the most shocked person was probably Hamamoto since she was looking at me with a dumbfounded expression as if she saw something totally amazing.
The 2 others were just smiling while clapping at me but didn't showed any special reaction.
Shuichi must be amazed from my improvement since he know that until now, even though I love singing, I wasn't especially good in singing.
「Akira... Did by any chance you trained without me noticing it?」
Well, that's true that I improved my singing compared to when I was in middle school since I returned to the past but still, my singing and my voice wasn't perfect to the point of being amazed though.
Furthermore, I had only a score of 39 points so why are he so much impressed by my singing?
When I thought that Shuichi was just half-joking about my voice improvement, Hamamoto also said in a low tone.
「...It was really amazing... It felt like I was in another world for a minute while listening to your song.」
Wait aren't you exaggerating a little bit? My score wasn't even good in the first place and even I know how many mistakes I've made.
Before I could totally found out about what was so special about the song, another song started playing.
I quickly returned to my seat and let Tanamichi the spot since it was her song.
Her singing was really amazing, I could see the note 『Great』 and 『Perfect』 words popping in front of me, she didn't make a single 『Bad』.
Finishing her song, she returned to her seat without looking the score. The numbers didn't stopped climbing until reaching 100 on the TV screen. Honestly she really deserves it, but why does she seems like she was not satisfied of her result?
Looking at the 『Total Score』 was showing 60 points, higher than Shuichi and me.
I was a little disappointed because even though she sang so well, her 『Total Score』 was still only at 60 points, I wonder if it's this difficult to get higher than 80 points.
Examining at the summary, there was no problem about her spelling nor tone but it was written that the song just didn't fit her and the performance itself was not great.
I truly need to sing more songs and try out this ability.
After that everyone sang to their hearts' content, we left the karaoke.
The 2 other groups already left when we came out of our karaoke room. Since we stayed in the karaoke room for 2 whole hours, they went home without us.
We decided to go home and all departed in different direction.
Tanamichi went with Furukawa leaving Hamamoto, Harakawa, Shuichi and me.
We decided to accompany them to their home since we unexpectedly all lived near Nichijo Gakuen.
Unexpectedly, Hamamoto's house was just 2 streets near my home, I wonder why I never saw her or remember anything about her...
After that the 2 girls went home, Shuichi needed to go to shopping on the supermarket so we departed, and I headed back home.
「I'm back」
Once I entered inside my house, my mom welcomed me with an angered face.
「Welcome home. You're finally back! Why did you switch off your phone? We tried to call you several times since you didn't came back after school! Whatever... Our new neighbourhoods are coming to eat dinner with us tonight, since they are your father's best friend, stay courteous in front of them.」
Oh right, I forgot to switch on my phone after I left the karaoke room.
「Oh...Sorry, I forgot to switch it on.」
Who was father's best friend? My memories couldn't remember his face nor name...Whatever I wanted to try something else, so I headed back to my room and switch on the computer.
I started to look for popular songs in 2005 and listened to all of them, it was only after that the bell rang that my mother called me out to eat dinner.
Arriving in the kitchen, Hamamoto was there with her family.
Wait... Hamamoto's father is my father's best friend?!
