The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Kirihara Akira always felt that Kisaragi Shiori was a natural singer whose talent was wasted on her police career.

Although Kirihara Akatsuki kept attacking her, her talent was actually astonishing. She had a precise, instrument-like sense of pitch and could easily reproduce melodies she had heard. Her power generation and vocal control were excellent, and after years of training, her breath control was even more profound and long.

Her only problem is that she lacks enthusiasm for learning and treats music as part of her job that she has to do as a corporate slave.

Moreover, she also had low self-esteem.

Although Kirihara Akira is largely to blame for this.

Although Kirihara Akira didn't exactly use a repressive style of education towards her, he was still quite scathing in his words. This was a bad habit of his, a habit he had developed from dealing with his rough and tough disciples. Besides, Kisaragi Shiori was similar to those disciples, and they were all quite disappointing.

The other half of the reason lies with Shiori Kisaragi herself.

This girl grew up in an environment without music; she doesn't even sing karaoke normally!

A workaholic who finds almost no enjoyment in life except drinking.

Today, she has no choice but to sing in front of someone other than Kirihara Akatsuki for the first time.

"Simply holding hands is enough to make it so beautiful."

"Perhaps the most important things are found in familiar places."

"Let it shine on its own."

......

I love everything about you.

"From now on, I want to hold you tight forever, I want to hold you close."

After the song ended, the studio was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Shiori Kisaragi wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. She had initially felt good about herself, but seeing the two of them fall silent, her inferiority complex returned. Lacking confidence, she weakly asked, "What's wrong? Why isn't anyone saying anything? Did you sing terribly?"

Kirihara Akira paused for a moment, picked up her phone, unplugged the recording device, and said with a smile, "You can listen to it yourself."

Kisaragi Shiori immediately covered her ears and said, "No way, you can't humiliate me."

Without a word, Kirihara Akira pressed play, and with the help of the recording equipment, her exceptionally clear voice defiantly entered Kisaragi Shiori's ears.

Kisaragi Shiori slowly lowered her hands from her ears, her face filled with surprise.

Hmm, this sounds pretty good?

If Mori Kiyoha had noticed what Kisaragi Shiori was saying and the expressions she made at this moment, Kisaragi Shiori would probably have been suspected again. Unfortunately, Mori Kiyoha was focused on Kirihara Akira at the time.

Kisaragi Shiori perfectly embodied the phrase "defeat with a crestfallen head, victory with a counterattack." After listening to the recording, feeling she had reached a professional level, she immediately shrugged off, looked at Mori Kiyoha, and said smugly, "Was it good? Do you have any more doubts?"

Mori Kiyoha's lips moved, and she thought of a bunch of offensive things to say, but in the end, it only came down to: "Average level."

This isn't exactly being stubborn. Shiori Kisaragi is very talented, but she hasn't practiced for very long. At present, she can only be considered one of the top enthusiasts. Simply put, she's a karaoke virtuoso, but she still has a long way to go before becoming a high-level professional singer.

However, that's enough. Whether music sounds good or not is highly subjective. Technique is just one of the means to make music sound good. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many non-professional music creators in the world, and there wouldn't be so many "divine songs" on the internet.

If it's catchy and pleasant to the ear, that's enough.

"Hehe." Shiori Kisaragi chuckled mischievously and said, "I suddenly smell something sour. Maybe it's because the song is called 'Jealousy'."

"You woman!" When had Sen Qingye ever suffered such a loss? She glared at him angrily.

"Ahem." Kirihara Akira coughed twice and said, "Second Miss, why don't you give it a try? Singing is a lot of fun."

"I don't want to," said Mori Kiyoha, crossing her arms, legs crossed, and tilting her head back.

"Whatever you want." Kisaragi Shiori originally just wanted to watch the fun, to see the bittersweet entanglements between teenage boys and girls, but now she was provoked by Mori Kiyoha's arrogant attitude, so she retorted, "Anyway, Kirihara-kun is my student, that's enough."

The two women began to look at each other again.

Kirihara Akatsuki was afraid that the two of them would start pulling each other's hair later; the second young lady had a terrible temper.

Surprisingly, Mori Kiyoha didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "I saw on your sign that new students get a free lesson. Why don't you give me a private lesson?"

Since Mori Kiyoha and Mori Shizue shared most of their information, she could vaguely guess what the relationship was between Kirihara Akira and Kisaragi Shiori.

Following this line of thought, if Kisaragi Shiori wants to see me, she must need something from me.

Once she understood this, she was able to take the initiative and teach this despicable woman a lesson.

At this moment, Shiori Kisaragi calmed down, let out a breath, and wondered what was wrong with her. Why was she arguing with a high school student? Her goal was to keep Kiyoha Mori, not to force her to leave... She said, "Of course."

"Not very good." Mori Kiyoha changed tactics, saying, "You want to do it for me? I don't want to learn."

Kisaragi Shiori glared at him and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"If you want me to stay, beg me," Mori Kiyoha said proudly.

"You must be crazy," Shiori Kisaragi said with a sneer.

"Then I'm off." Mori Kiyoha stood up, pretending to walk away.

For a fleeting moment, Shiori Kisaragi did feel flustered, but only for a brief instant.

The next second, Shiori Kisaragi stood up and shouted, "Perfect! Now that you're gone, Kirihara-kun and I can do whatever we want!"

Kirihara Akira listened from the side, feeling completely numb.

What are they even talking about? At this rate, if they keep going on like this, the earth will explode.

He quickly spoke up, "Big sister, what are you up to? Can't you be serious for once?"

He then looked at Mori Kiyoha and said, "Judging from your reaction, Miss, you must have realized something, right? Then let's just be frank."

Mori Kiyoha snorted coldly and sat back down in her original seat: "I've seen too many people who want something from me... or rather, who want to get through to my mother. I've seen it so many times that I'm used to it."

Seeing this, Kisaragi Shiori couldn't help but sigh. Even though he was still a senior in high school, the children raised by large families were indeed not easy to deal with. Their thinking ability and vision were ahead of their time, unlike ordinary children.

She resumed the professional demeanor expected of a criminal investigator, sat up straight, and said, "It's not that we need your help, it's just that some people want to get some answers from the Mori family. Only when they get the answers can they feel at ease."

"Before you ask your questions, I'd like to ask you one first," Mori Kiyoha said. "Who are you?"

"Those people said that you might guess my identity, but I can never reveal my identity myself," Shiori Kisaragi said.

Akira Kirihara, who was listening in, suddenly realized what Shiori Kisaragi meant by "being prepared."

Mori Kiyoha frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Some people want to know how the lady views the underworld."
