My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 59

Chapter 59: Being Hit with Overwhelming Love at Karaoke

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I wondered how long it had been since all of us went to karaoke together. I wasn’t very good at singing myself, so I had turned it down quite a lot. But since it was a celebration for our hard work, I figured I might as well go and accepted the suggestion. The reason I had been declining was simple. Embarrassingly enough, I didn’t think I could enjoy it. 

If you go to karaoke, not singing isn’t really an option.

“So, everyone, got your drinks?”

“Yeah!”

“Then once again—congratulations on your enrollment, everyone. Let’s do our best from here on out. Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

Rin-neechan led the toast, and we all clinked our glasses together before drinking the juice we had brought. I honestly found it strange. Why did juice taste so much better just from doing that? Was it some kind of word magic or something?

“Mii-chan looks really happy.”

“Of course I am! Karaoke with Haa-chan is incredibly rare! But Haru-chan, you’re the one who looks super excited.”

“Of course! How could I not be excited? Hey, Mii-chan. Should we record Hakkun’s turn?”

“Why are you even asking something so obvious now, Haru-chan?”

Those two were the same as always. It was honestly embarrassing, so I wanted them to stop. But even if I told them to stop, they probably wouldn’t. Yeah, I already knew that.

“Um, Muna? Rin-neechan? What are you two doing?”

“What do you mean?”

“We’re just taking pictures of Hakkun relaxing. …Want us to hug you?”

What was with these two pointing their cameras at me without even trying to hide it anymore? Well, to be fair, I had unconsciously sat down on the empty sofa and struck a pose like some host lounging in a golden bath with women on both sides.

“I don’t.”

“Tch. Fine then. Anyway, let’s start singing! Who’s going first?”

After discussing it, the order ended up being Muna, Misaki, Haruna, Rin-neechan, and then me.

Hmm… I don’t know why, but I have a pretty bad feeling about this group right now.

Let’s see, the song Muna picked was Prison of Love. Yeah, I knew it. I knew she’d go with something heavy. If I had to guess, today was going to be like this the whole time. Right from the opening line, “I won’t let you go?” it was already…

“I won’t let you go?”

See? She was staring right at me with those pitch-black eyes. And it was a spoken line, too. Still… she was cute. My girlfriend was the best. Seriously, the best. From there, she wove together incredibly heavy lyrics with an unbelievably beautiful voice.

“Your love is mine~♪”

“Let’s get married in the same grave♡”

“No matter how many times we’re reborn, we can’t escape this prison of love♡”

Like that. Whether it was intentional or not—no, it was definitely intentional—Muna kept looking at me with an ecstatic expression as she sang. Each time, I felt a slight chill run down my spine. Scary. Really scary.

Next was Misaki. Misaki should probably be more normal. Yeah.

“Well then, Mii will sing this.”

The song Misaki chose was a song by Nonoa Tsurumaki. I see. Even if she hadn’t met her, she at least knew of her. Her voice, like glass—clear, sharp, and powerful—echoed through the karaoke room. That’s right. Misaki was just really good at singing. Good enough that if she debuted as a singer, she’d become famous in no time just from her voice alone. Maybe it was gap appeal. Because I knew how she usually acted, hearing such a different tone from her usual self really stirred something in me.

Karaoke is really nice, huh?

Why did I end up going last in this flow? I was worried I might ruin the atmosphere they had created with their amazing singing.

“Phew, that felt refreshing.”

“You’re amazing as always, Mii-chan! Alright, next is me!”

I wondered what Haruna would sing. Since she liked heroes, maybe a tokusatsu opening or something like that. Or maybe something cool, like an ice queen type—

“Look Me! / Yanderera”

Huh? Wait a second. Yanderera… Yanderera? Isn’t that the same group as the one Muna just sang? Seriously? She’s going that route too??

“Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look only at me forever♡”

“Whose eyes are those? What are those eyes meant to see? Who are they for? They’re only for me, right♡”

“I’ll kiss your eyes. Carve me into everything you are. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Ahahahahahaha!”

Just like Muna, Haruna was going all in too. She kept staring at me the whole time. Her emotions were completely poured into it. Yeah. As a song, her immersion was probably perfect, but still… It was scary. Really scary. Did they have some kind of rule about turning off the light in their eyes while singing or something?

“Hakkun. Look at me♡”

“Alright, it’s my turn now. Hehe, Hakkun. Make sure you listen, okay?”

“O-okay.”

I had a bad feeling. A really, really bad feeling. What song was showing on the screen…?

“Watashi 100% / Yanderera”

See? It’s Yanderera again. When I got home, I should properly listen to them at least once. I wanted to know how intense the original actually was. Still, I wondered why. Somehow, it just fit the three of them. Yanderera… Yanderera, huh. What kind of intention went into naming that group?

“Ah~ I wish your blood were me.”

“I wish everything that makes you who you are was me.”

“Accept all of me, okay? Let all of you become mine. It’s fine if you can’t live without me anymore♡ I’ll love you forever♡”

…Nothing much to say. Just that she was really good. Also, those black eyes were beautiful. If she stared at me like that, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Wait, seriously? Is it actually my turn next like this?
