Singing Duel

"Sorry to make you wait," Yuuki entered his manga studio with a tired expression.

"Meow.." Kuroka was in his head resting and raised her paw.

Utaha also entered at the same time with elegant posture. Her black stocking made everyone unable to take their eyes from her. She tucked her hair to her ear and made her look even more mesmerizing.

"Hello.." Utaha said with a smile. She acted like her very good wife.

Marika who saw her gulped. She looked at her chest then looked down to see her sexy legs. She looked at her legs and felt very dreaded. She knew that the girl in front of her was the last boss. The two gyaru were like semi-boss but the girl in front of him was very dangerous. The girl's sexiness was just too high.

'I won't lose...' Marika thought inside her heart.

Ruri and Onodera were wondering who was this beautiful girl.

"She is Kasumigaoka Utaha, my girlfriend," Yuuki introduced her to everyone.

Utaha nodded at everyone and sat comfortably in her special chair. There was a special sign that wrote'Utaha Only' on that chair. She took a cup of tea out of nowhere and drank it.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Utaha asked.

They were stunned and didn't know how to respond. Her action was just natural to them. They looked at him at the same time to ask for an explanation.

"Well, let's start our singing practice," Yuuki averted the conversation and placed Kuroka on the table.

They still looked unsatisfied with his answer but didn't push him.

Yuuki took his guitar on the wall and played it several times. There wasn't any piano since his apartment was too small.

Marika raised her hand, "Why did you do singing practice?" She didn't know anything.

"He is gonna enter 'Amateur Music Tournaments'," Ruri said.

Marika was stunned and raised her hand again, "I'm gonna help him too! I can sing after all!" She wanted to help him in this situation.

"I'm sorry, Marika, but I've got a dependable partner for the tournament," Yuuki said while placing his hand on Yukari's shoulder.

Yukari hung her head down because she blushed but her mouth moved upward to show that she was happy. She didn't see him for two days and this made her quite lonely. She knew he had a girlfriend but still became her partner wasn't bad.

Marika was stunned and said, "But I really can sing!" She looked at Yukari and said to her, "I'll become her partner for this tournament, can you give me this chance senpai?" She didn't want to back down.

"No, I won't, I'll be his partner," Yukari showed her rare expression. She didn't smile like her usual from Marika's provocation.

"Stop! Stop! Don't fight, okay," Yuuki stopped them. "I'm sorry, Marika, but I've chosen her, let's do it sometimes but not now."

Marika still didn't want to lose and wanted to say something but Uomi stopped it.

"How about we have a duel?" Uomi suddenly said.

"Duel?" They asked at the same time.

Uomi nodded, "Both of you sing a duet song at the same time with him then we'll judge you. The winner will become his partner for this tournament." She looked at him, "Can you prepare a duet song that is new to everyone?"

Yuuki nodded and prepared his song. This was better since he didn't want to see them fighting. He knew that Marika was very jealous of the girls around him and that was why she didn't want to lose. He gave both girls a piece of paper and told them to remember this song.

They nodded and did what he said. They didn't want to lose this duel.

They remembered the song for 15 minutes.

The lyrics were pretty simple but it was very cute. Both Marika and Yukari were amazed at his ability to make this good song.

"I'll go first!" Marika looked very confident.

Before they started both Shuu and Raku had come to his apartment. Eriri also came along with her manga. Then there was also his new editor.

"Boss, my name is Ayano Iida," Iida looked at the group of students in front of her and her boss who was holding his guitar.

"Iida, can you wait a bit?" Yuuki said then he added, "Can you also judge together with everyone?"

Iida listened to his explanation and nodded. She knew that her boss was a very sinful young man. She looked at the number of beautiful girls around her. She was quite startled when she knew her boss was going to enter this'Amateur Music Tournament'. After all, that tournament was very popular.

Iida had been seen by the chief editor because she had already been married. The chief editor said that he wouldn't be attracted to a married woman. She didn't know how to feel whether she felt safe or offended.

Everyone was quite excited to watch the dual match between Marika and Yukari.

"This song is called'Tokyo Summer Session'," Yuuki introduced it to everyone. He looked at Marika whether she was ready or not.

Marika nodded at him. She had practiced her woman ability to become the woman who was suitable for him and singing was one of her best abilities. She definitely would show him that she could become his partner better.

Yuuki started to play his guitar then Marika sang.

"Yā konnichiwa."

"Konnichiwa."

Iida was stunned that she didn't expect her boss to sing so well and she also stunned when she heard that this song was his original.

They clapped their hands together when the song was over.

"How is it, Yuuki-sama?" Marika was confident with her voice.

"You're great, Marika," Yuuki praised her.

"Then, can I become your partner?" Marika asked.

"Let's wait until you hear Yukari," Yuuki said.

Marika sighed and sat down. She wanted to know how good Yukari's voice was.

"Are you ready?" Yuuki asked.

"I'm always ready," Yukari answered with her confident smile.

Yuuki nodded, "Good, let's start."

They started singing at the same time.

---

"Tsunagitai tsunagitai Gyutto nigirikaesu yo."

Everyone was stunned when they heard them singing. No one would refute if they became the winner of that tournament.

Marika sighed and felt that she lost. She felt getting farther and farther from him. She was quite insecure about her place in his heart. She wanted to know how he felt toward her.

"I'm sorry, Marika, but I've got to take Yukari to become my partner," Yuuki said.

"It's okay, I know that you want to win and I think she is suitable for that," Marika sighed. She felt her phone vibrate and took it. She looked at the message and saw it was from Yuuki. She was stunned and looked at him. She saw him smile at her.

Marika hurriedly opened the text quietly and read it.

Yuuki: "I'm sorry for this but I've promised Yukari in the past. How about we go out together? In a few days?"

'Date!!!!' Marika was excited and hurriedly answered him.

Marika: "It's okay!" She sighed in relief. She got her chance now to make him fall in love with her. She would definitely make him won't be able to forget about her.
