Ke Xue Lu Ren Wang

Next, Tomomi Matsuzaka and her boyfriend Yusuke Sugami also appeared.

Yusuke Sugiyama first chose a standard male love song, performed steadily, and scored 76 points, which is a decent score.

When it was Tomomi Matsuzaka's turn, she chose a very difficult girl group rock song, and she amazed the audience as soon as she opened her mouth.

Her high-pitched and penetrating voice, coupled with her skillful vocal transitions, made her radiant.

In the end, the score settled at an astonishing 88 points!

With a total score of 164, the two of them actually scored one point higher than the group consisting of Chizuru Shimizu and Ryuya Ueda, temporarily taking the lead.

"Matsusaka, did you secretly sign up for classes behind my back?" Shimizu Chizuru looked at the score on the screen, her face full of surprise.

"Of course not~" Tomomi Matsuzaka tossed her hair triumphantly, "I do post singing videos online sometimes, you know, although most people just come to see me showing off my legs~"

Upon hearing this, Sugiyama Yusuke's face darkened on one side.

After them, even Ran Mouri, who had been quiet all along, was pushed forward by the crowd.

With a blush, she chose a gentle and lyrical song. Her voice was clean and clear. Although she was a little nervous, her emotions were sincere, and she unexpectedly scored 81 points.

Even Conan went up and sang a children's song. Although his singing skills were questionable, no one would laugh at a primary school student.

Now, all the pressure is on Toru Hanyu and Sonoko Suzuki, who haven't even taken the stage yet.

"And what about Yuzuru-kun? How did you sing?" Shimizu Chizuru turned her gaze to Yuzuru Toru, her words carrying a hint of probing.

Yuzuru neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply stated the truth: "I rarely sing; I only learned to sing in school music class before."

That's true; he really rarely sings.

"Then you'll have to wait and be punished later~" Upon hearing this answer, Shimizu Chizuru immediately felt that she had the victory in her grasp.

Although I couldn't beat Tomomi Matsuzaka, if I could witness Toru Hanyu and Sonoko Suzuki embarrassing themselves in public, it would be a great revenge.

What she wants to see most right now is for Toru Hanyu to do something naughty to Sonoko Suzuki.

If Sonoko Suzuki or Toru Hanyu shows even the slightest reluctance, it would almost certainly confirm the speculation that they are not a couple at all.

Then she can give Suzuki Sonoko a good dressing down.

Just thinking about that scene made Chizuru Shimizu feel much better.

Seeing Shimizu Chizuru's ill-intentioned look, Yuu Tetsuya could pretty much guess what she was thinking.

This woman is really persistent.

Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts as well.

She really likes handsome guys, but... she's just a little embarrassed in front of so many people.

Although Matsuzaka Tomomi didn't hear what they said, she could tell from Suzuki Sonoko's reaction that the other woman didn't have much confidence in her singing, and she looked on with amusement.

"It's your turn." Chizuru Shimizu handed over two microphones, a victorious smile on her face.

Yuzuru took one and handed it to Sonoko Suzuki, then addressed the crowd.

"By the way, we're singing in a chorus, so the machine will only give a total score. Therefore, the final score will be doubled. Is that alright?"

"No problem." Everyone said OK.

The rules sounded fair, but nobody knew that Yuzuru Hanyu was actually setting the stage for his crushing victory.

Sonoko Suzuki picked up the microphone, her palms already sweaty.

Under everyone's gaze, she mustered her courage and began, "This is my first time singing in front of everyone... Although I'm not very good at it, I'll definitely do my best!"

Just then, the prelude began with two crisp drumbeats.

Sonoko Suzuki looked at everyone in the seats, then glanced one last time at Toru Hanyu beside her, who looked calm and collected. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to sing along with the melody.

"Look at your feet, this is the path you must walk."

Look ahead to you; that is your future.

Her voice trembled slightly, but it was surprisingly clear and pleasant to hear, and it immediately quieted down the noisy private room.

"My mother gave me so much warmth. She told me to move forward with love in my heart. I was very young then and didn't understand what she meant."

"She held my hand like that, and we've walked together to this day."

As she sang this, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but think of her mother—Tomoko Suzuki, who was strong and strict, yet always paved the way for her from behind.

[Ding! Attention count +300]

Yuzuru felt a slight unease; this surge in popularity was somewhat unexpected.

"Dreams always seem to be in the distance of the sky, out of reach, which frightens me, but I still keep chasing them."

"Because it's my own story, I didn't want to give up. When I felt uneasy, she would hold my hand, and we've come this far together."

The emotions in the song grew stronger and stronger, and the smile on Shimizu Chizuru's face completely froze. She never expected that Suzuki Sonoko, who was tone-deaf, could sing so well!

Then, Sonoko Suzuki turned her gaze to Toru Hanyu, her bright eyes filled with complex emotions.

"That tenderness sometimes makes me feel disgusted, and I can't be honest with my separated mother."

She sang with such passion, displaying not only abundant emotion but also a certain level of skill, completely contrary to her own claim that she "couldn't do it at all."

The entire private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was stunned by her performance.

……

Meanwhile, on another planet's video website, the latest episode of the Detective Conan anime is playing. The comment section has exploded with excitement.

[Holy crap! Is that Sonoko? Did I hear that right? She sings so well!]

[I must say, Toru Hanyu really knows how to comfort people. If it were Hanyu advising me, I definitely would have gone up and sung too!]

[Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you lose, you can kiss Yuzuru, right? (doge)]

……

Inside the private room, Sonoko Suzuki's singing continued.

Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Yuzuru once again.

"That tenderness sometimes makes me feel disgusted, and I can't be honest with my separated mother."

"Look at your feet, this is the path you must walk."

Look ahead to you; that is your future.

As the climax ended and the interlude began, Sonoko Suzuki breathed heavily, her chest heaving.

Chizuru Shimizu's smile froze.

Ran Mouri also opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Even the usually composed Conan looked at the previously carefree Sonoko Suzuki with some surprise.

After Sonoko Suzuki finished singing her part, she slowly turned to the side and cast a complex gaze, filled with anticipation, nervousness, and trust, at Toru Hanyu beside her.

Now, it's his turn.
