Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 16: March 3th

"Kamiya-san, will you come first?"

Asai Mai, who was bragging to her best friend, noticed Sugawara Ryuichi standing up and her attention was immediately drawn to him.

"Is it coming?"

Miyagi Wakaba suddenly looked back with a serious tone, as if she was looking at a strong rival.

Risa Minamida didn't say anything, but just picked up the atmosphere prop on the table, which was a rattle.

As for Yamabuki Tsuki, he was holding the jukebox, waiting for Ryuichi Sugawara to arrive before starting the song.

Because it was everyone's first time to go karaoke with him, everyone was curious about how good Ryuichi Sugawara was at singing.

For a moment, there was a brief silence in the box.

Being stared at by them, Sugawara Ryuichi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although he possessed professional-level singing talent and had gained more than ten years of singing experience overnight, he ultimately had no real sense or practical experience.

"for you."

When he came out, Mai Asai handed him the microphone.

Although there is more than one microphone in the box, if it is not a duet or chorus, it is best not to let two people hold the microphone at the same time, as this will greatly affect the gaming experience.

"Thank you."

After politely thanking him, Sugawara Ryuichi took it.

The moment he grabbed the microphone, Ryuichi Sugawara found that his nervousness was dispelled and replaced by confidence.

Invisibly, his back straightened a little.

Asai Mai, who was facing him, felt it most strongly and saw the subtle changes in his facial expressions.

This subtle change is hard to describe, just like a warrior holding a sword, with extraordinary confidence.

"Let's begin."

The three people who had already sat down did not notice the change, and Yamabukizuki asked.

"Ah."

Sugawara Ryuichi took a deep breath and nodded.

After getting his affirmation, Yamabuki Tsuki also pressed the play button.

The next moment, the song title "March 3th" and lyrics appeared on the screen, along with a countdown of...
Seeing the song he was going to sing, the three girls couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Because this song is so common, almost everyone can sing it and has heard it countless times.

It’s not that they can’t sing this song, but since it’s their first time to go to karaoke with Kamiya-san, they hope to hear a song with a more personal style that can show their preferences and tastes.

Regardless of other people's opinions, Sugawara Ryuichi took a deep breath and began to sing:

“In the passing seasons, I unconsciously feel the length of time.”

"In every busy day, I paint dreams with you."

"Let longing follow the March breeze, and let the cherry blossom buds bloom with spring."

A song without a prelude is like a forced kiss, suffocating.

"!!"

Just the moment he opened his mouth, Yamabukizuki felt caught off guard and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Some songs make your heart beat faster just by listening to the prelude, and some people make you like them just by meeting them.

Ryuichi Sugawara's deep and gentle voice and the lyrics full of emotion touched her heartstrings in just a moment, and her soul was deeply attracted.

The three women who were originally very disappointed were truly amazed after listening to his charming singing, and could not help but look at each other.

No, this isn't the same "March 3th" they remember. It's the same song, so why does his cover sound so good? And his voice is so steady, perfectly capturing the scale.

After singing the first three verses of the lyrics, the song entered a simple and pleasant interlude, and Ryuichi Sugawara was completely into the mood.

While waiting for the interlude, Sugawara Ryuichi didn't look at the lyrics anymore. Instead, he turned his back to the screen and looked at Yamabuki Tsuki sitting in his seat:
"The particles of overflowing light warm the morning little by little."

"After a big yawn, you were beside me, a little shy."

Singing can convey emotions more easily than speaking.

Being watched by him while singing, Shanbukiyue felt a chill and goose bumps all over her body.

"Wow……"

When the three girls beside heard the touching song, they all had pictures in their minds.

On a weekend morning, Kamiya-san, awakened by the morning light, sat up and yawned loudly. Yue-chan, wrapped in a thin blanket, lay beside him with a shy look on her face.

“Standing at the entrance to a brand new world, I suddenly realized that I was not alone.”

"As soon as I close my eyes, you will appear before my eyes."

"I hope I can do the same for you."

Listening to his beautiful singing, they suddenly understood.

Why did Kamiya-san sing this song and why do you like this song?

After being admitted to Waseda University, Kamiya-san must have been very confused because he was busy studying every day, until he accidentally met Yamabuki Tsuki in the library that day, and suddenly he saw the way forward clearly.

“Although there are always setbacks, looking up at the sky makes me feel that they are so insignificant.”

"The blue sky is as clear as a flock of clouds floating quietly"

“How happy it would be if I could share with you the joy of waiting for flowers to bloom.”

"In the days to come, I hope you can always be by my side, smiling softly."

Only music full of emotion can truly touch people's hearts.

Although they had heard and even sung these lyrics countless times before, influenced by the story of Kamiya-san and Yue-chan's encounter, the three girls were fascinated by the song, savoring every line and even the timbre of every word.

"..."

Yamabukizuki had no mind to appreciate the lyrics, because Sugawara Ryuichi's direct gaze and beautiful singing, who was standing with his back to the light, completely panicked her.

She felt embarrassed, but also extremely happy.

She couldn't resist his gaze, but she liked his singing very much.

No matter how beautiful a song is, it will eventually come to an end, just like there is no banquet that will last forever.

With the final ending, the song, which lasts 04:25 seconds, ends.

Coming back to his senses from his passionate singing, Sugawara Ryuichi noticed the hint in the corner of his eye:
[Yamabukizuki feels his heart fluttering, heartbeat value +3]

The new evaluation made him subconsciously look at Shan Chuiyue again.

The lights in the box were a little dim, casting a hazy veil over everyone, but it could not hide her evasive gaze and the smile on the corner of her mouth.

She didn't say anything, but her reaction spoke louder than words.

Seeing this beautiful scene, Sugawara Ryuichi's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Although "March 3th" was a song he carefully selected based on the situation and circumstances, as well as factors such as the stage and personal background, he did not expect the effect to be so good.

"How come it's only 97 points?! Is the scoring machine broken? Kamiya-san's cover is so good, it's on par with the original, how could it only get 97 points?!"

At this moment, an unbelievable and frantic voice broke the air. It was Miyagi Wakaba's voice.
