The most important part of having a picnic was where to go.
The more beautiful a place was, the more people would come to enjoy the cherry blossoms. This was especially true for the most famous places, where people would look up at the cherry blossoms.
After Seiji and the others discussed it, they finally decided to go to Kosui Park.
This park wasn't that famous, so there wouldn't be many tourists, but the scenery was good enough.
The next morning, Feng Wu drove a minivan to the park.
Everyone got on the minivan after they finished preparing, and the minivan headed to the park.
Nozomi sat in the front passenger seat, with Seiji and Little Shi sitting behind her, followed by Mika, Ling Yang, and Chiaki.
"Let's play a game — the loser has to sing!" Chiaki took out a deck of cards, obviously trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Sure, what shall we play?" Seiji happily agreed.
"Guess!" Chiaki spread out the deck of cards and explained the rules.
Both players would draw a card each, and the first player to guess would be decided by rock-paper-scissors. The player who guessed could guess any information about the opponent's card, and it could be specific or general. The other player would answer with "correct" or "incorrect."
After each guess, the player who guessed and the other player would switch places, and whoever guessed correctly first would lose.
The first round was Seiji versus Chiaki.
Chiaki won the rock-paper-scissors game, so she could guess first.
"Heh heh, I've already seen the truth — your card's definitely a heart!" Chiaki pointed at Seiji.
"Wah, you actually saw through me … correct." Seiji made a pose as if he'd been stabbed, and then covered his face with one hand. "It's my turn now. Activate your special power, Eyes of Insight!"
Seiji's eyes appeared from between his fingers, making him seem quite chuunibyou.
"Your card's a diamond!"
"Wah … I was seen through … as if!" Chiaki made a cute face at him. "Your power is ineffective against me, incorrect."
"What!? How is this possible, my eyes actually … "
"It's my turn. After careful deduction, I'm one step closer to the truth. Your card must be a numbered card!"
"Ahhh … How could it be like this … Correct." Seiji pretended to be depressed after receiving a heavy blow.
"You got it right twice. Big Sister Chiaki is amazing," Ling Yang said in admiration.
"Hehe ~ I'm a famous detective!" Chiaki said proudly.
"There's no reasoning involved in this at all." Mika retorted.
"The reasoning of a famous detective is not something an ordinary person can understand!"
"Is this the legendary detective's eye that can tell the truth even if there are no clues?!" Seiji's expression was grim.
"That's right, so you're definitely going to lose, pitiful boy ~" Chiaki had a pitiful expression on her face.
"No … I haven't lost yet. There's still hope. I must grasp the last ray of hope!" Seiji said firmly. He clenched his fist, and his whole body emitted an invisible aura, "I saw it … Your card … is a heart card, and it's a number under 5!"
"Wh … What!?" Chiaki was shocked. "You actually saw it … This can't be … correct."
"Hehe ~ The God of Hope is on my side. I won't lose!" Seiji regained his spirit.
However, he still lost.
Seiji sang the song "Flashy Snow" at the top of his voice, and everyone applauded, making the atmosphere livelier.
The second round was Ling Yang vs. Mika.
The result was Mika's victory.
Although Ling Yang was a little shy, she also sang the "Honey Candy Girl's" anime OP, "The Other Side of Dreams."
She didn't sing well, but the scene of a cute loli singing shyly was moving enough.
Seiji and Chiaki both wanted to record it with their cell phones, but Ling Yang refused.
The third round was Seiji vs. Little Shi.
Seiji really wanted to win, and everyone else wanted him to win as well. That was because they really wanted to hear Shika Kagura sing!
"Go! Brother Seiji ~ "Ling Yang clenched her fists and encouraged him.
"Seiji, if you win, I'll give you special services in the future ~" Chiaki winked at him.
"Don't say anything about special services …" Mika told him.
"Heh heh, I've been looking forward to it, Haruta-kun." Nozomi smiled.
"I'll win!" Seiji's eyes flashed with a bright light.
He was the one person who wanted to hear Little Shi's singing the most — no one else!
Shika Kagura was rendered speechless.
Her face flushed red as she felt her adopted brother's hope.
In the end, Seiji lived up to everyone's expectations and won!
At this moment, Seiji had the urge to act victorious and shout loudly, but he restrained himself.
Chiaki and the others applauded for him, and then looked towards Shika Kagura.
The black-haired beauty's face was flushed red, and she was giving off a shy aura, which was quite alluring.
Ling Yang's eyes were sparkling. Chiaki and Mika were both stunned, and even Nozomi was a little entranced.
Everyone fell silent for a moment because of this.
Seiji coughed lightly.
"Little Shi, you lost, so …"
Shika Kagura nodded, and then placed a hand on his chest as he slowly spoke.
"My heart swam with the goldfish ~
"I won't go anywhere without you ~"
Her voice was soft and gentle, and it instantly touched everyone's hearts!
"Swimming quietly in the warm water ~"
"I can do anything for you ~"
The atmosphere in the car changed. It was as if everyone had entered an abnormal time and space, arriving in some fantastical and beautiful realm.
"The light of dusk shines like water ~
"Bringing you to a faraway place ~"
The soft and pleasant voice, the moving lyrics, and the beautiful melody were all perfectly combined together.
"I'm a little goldfish ~
"Surviving in your love ~"
Seiji and the others were so immersed in the song that they even forgot to praise it.
Miyuki Sakuraku's "Goldfish" wasn't a famous song.
This song was 5 minutes and 33 seconds long. There weren't many ups and downs in the song, and its style was quite simple. Many people felt that it was too flat and slow. However, there were also a few people who liked it and felt that they could hear the meaning behind it.
Seiji was the latter.
He would occasionally listen to this song when he was writing his story, and he felt that this song contained an indescribable meaning that stimulated one's imagination and allowed them to feel a certain meaning.
He didn't expect that Little Shi could sing it, nor did he expect her to sing it so well!
As he listened, he actually forgot about Miyuki's version! He felt that his adopted sister's version of "Goldfish" was the way it should be.
Miyuki was an excellent singer, but this song was more suitable for Little Shi. It was as if it was made for her.
"In the end, it's time to sleep ~
"Deeply, deeply, deeply ~
"I'll be waiting for you when I wake up from my dream ~
"Long, long, long, long ~
"Our bonds to each other will last forever ~
After the climax, the song gradually died down.
Everyone in the car remained silent for a few seconds before they started clapping!
"Amazing! You sang so well!! "Ling Yang clapped enthusiastically.
"As expected of an idol! With such a standard, you'll definitely become so famous!! "Chiaki praised.
"You really sang well … I felt like I was in a dream," Mika also praised.
"I really want to listen to it again." Nozomi clapped and smiled.
"It's even better if there's an accompaniment." Feng Wu also smiled.
"It's so beautiful, Little Shi. I think that you sang even better than the original version!" Seiji praised her from the bottom of his heart.
Miyuki's face reddened even more as she shyly turned her head away.
After the applause, the game continued.
"Ling Yang -san, I won't go easy on you ~"
"Same goes for me, Chiaki -san!"
Chiaki and Ling Yang's duel was worth looking forward to no matter which side lost.
