As they slowly ascended the flower-patterned staircase to the fourteenth floor, Yu Shengnan looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and the new doorplate above it, and softly read it aloud.
"Karaoke room?"
After finishing reading, he turned his head and looked at Kazuha beside him.
If I remember correctly, this lively young woman is a true singing enthusiast.
At this moment, Kazuha's pair of light green eyes had already lit up.
"Wow, it's a karaoke room!"
Kazuha exclaimed excitedly, and then she took a few steps forward, stretched out her fair little hand, and gently pushed the door open.
The moment the door was pushed open, the intro to a familiar song came from inside the room.
Yuzuru Hanyu paused slightly, listened carefully for a moment, and then asked somewhat uncertainly, "This is... 'Until the end of the world'?"
Kazuha, standing to the side, nodded without hesitation and replied with certainty, "Yes, it's the melody of the song 'Until the End of the World'!"
The two exchanged a glance and stepped into the room.
Upon entering, you'll see a huge karaoke screen standing in the center of the room, next to a luxurious sound system.
Meanwhile, Ran, Sonoko, Ai, and Akemi, who had been nowhere to be seen, were standing in the room with their backs to them.
Each of them held a microphone tightly in their hand, swaying their heads from side to side to the rhythm of the music, completely immersed in it, unaware that two people had already approached from behind.
"Small……"
Just as Kazuha was about to shout, a hand stopped him before he could even finish making a sound.
"No rush, let them finish singing."
Yuzuru smiled slightly, releasing his hand from her cherry lips. The warmth of Kazuha's skin lingered on his hand, the delicate and soft touch still lingering on his fingertips.
He casually gave a look to Amei, the carpenter who was working hard at the other end of the room, signaling her to keep going. The karaoke room wasn't finished yet, and Amei was still doing some finishing touches.
As the song's intro slowly ended, the four women, who had been clapping along to the colorful lights and music, raised their microphones, ready to showcase their singing talents.
"The metropolis is the same, the servant is one person~"
Xiao Lan was the first to speak, singing the first line of lyrics in her clear and melodious voice.
Sonoko followed closely behind, resting her little head on Ran's shoulder, and sang the second line in a lively and cheerful voice: "Throw away, how are you?"
As she sang, she swayed gently to the side, a bright smile on her face.
"Mutual mutuality, mutual knowledge, mutual knowledge~"
Xiao Ai, dressed in a pink princess dress, sang with a touch of sadness in her voice.
Her petite figure looked exceptionally beautiful under the colorful lights, like an elf fallen to earth.
If she hadn't reached out her little hand and high-fived Sonoko after she finished singing, one would have really thought she was telling a sad story.
The little maid Akemi added a touch of warmth to this melody with her gentle and melodious voice: "爱ならばいっそ, permanently (とわ)に梦ろうか~"
"The end of the world is the end of the world, and the end of the world is the end of the world~"
The four singers' harmonies intertwined, giving this classic song a unique and beautiful melody.
As the song ended, before they could even cheer, Yuzuru and Kazuha simultaneously clapped.
Xiao Lan and the others turned around with surprise on their faces. When they saw the two people behind them, their eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
"Oh my, Kazuha, when did you arrive?" Sonoko asked in surprise, her face still flushed with excitement.
The moment she saw Kazuha, she dropped the microphone and rushed towards her like the wind.
When Kazuha saw Sonoko rushing towards him, he quickly opened his arms and caught her steadily, then happily spun her around in his arms.
The two friends, reunited after a long separation, were overjoyed.
"I just arrived in Tokyo this morning, and Yuzuru Hanyu came to pick me up at the station."
"Why haven't we heard Nan mention this before?" Xiao Lan walked over with a smile, looking both happy and puzzled.
Seeing this, Akemi, who was standing to the side, winked at Yuzuru and then explained with a smile, "It was Yuzuru's idea. He said he wanted to give you a big surprise, so he told me not to tell you beforehand."
Only the master and servant knew that Kazuha was coming to the Eastern Capital. The two of them even discussed it carefully to make sure they wouldn't give anything away.
"Oh—I see! That's a really big surprise!"
Sonoko clapped her hands in sudden realization, then buried her face in Kazuha's arms, just like a mischievous and adorable little piglet, nuzzling around and muttering, "Kazuha, I've missed you so much! I want to meld you into my very being!"
"Me too!"
Seeing this, Ran couldn't contain her excitement either. She deliberately imitated the strange tone and shouted the same thing. Then she rushed forward and joined in the hug, rubbing against Kazuha with Sonoko.
The three young girls, who had been separated for a long time, hugged each other, laughing and joking, and telling each other how much they missed each other.
Yuzuru stood to the side, watching their joyful expressions with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
Then, he smiled, walked over, bent down and picked up Ai, who was standing with her arms crossed and looking thoughtful.
What are you thinking about?
"I'm wondering if I'll have to be relegated to the back of the queue again this time, since Kazuha is coming..."
As Ai was being picked up, she blurted out what was on her mind. After realizing what she had said, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her icy blue eyes as she glared at Yuzuru Nan, who was grinning mischievously.
"How could that be? In my heart, each of you holds a unique place." Yu Sheng Nan gently breathed warm air into her ear.
He knew what Ai meant, but he couldn't upgrade the item to remove the effects of aptx4869, which was something he couldn't do.
We can't just force it...!
"Hmph, all you do is say nice things!"
Ai gave a soft hum and turned her head away, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her inner joy.
Mingmei, watching her younger sister and the young master playfully bickering, couldn't help but laugh along.
"By the way, why did you suddenly decide to build a karaoke room?" Yuzuru Nan suddenly remembered this and casually asked Ai.
"It's my older sister."
Ai calmly pointed to Akemi, who had joined Kazuha and the other two catching up, and continued, "She came up with this idea on the spur of the moment this morning when you went to pick up Kazuha. Then I drew up the blueprints, then Sonoko called someone to deliver the materials, and finally Akemi was in charge of the renovations."
"I see...that's good."
Yuzuru looked at Akemi with admiration in his eyes.
It must have been during the last time in Osaka, when the observant maid accompanied Ran and the others to a karaoke bar, that she noticed Kazuha really liked to sing. So, after thinking about it this morning, she rushed to finish this.
