Writer: Yoshino Yuuki
Season: Autumn
Location: Karaoke Room


Tori: ... Bwagh?!
Hey, Long Hair~! Enough with stuffing me into that box already!
I read that your growth can be hindered if the body is under too much stress during puberty — it'll be your fault if I stop growing, y'know?!


Wataru: Fufufu. I updated my knowledge of your physical condition, right down to your bone density, during our practice yesterday. Rest assured, something like this won't inhibit your growth ♪
More importantly, did we keep you two waiting long?

Yuuta: Not at all~ We just arrived too, right, Shinobu-kun?


Shinobu: Yes! Ehehe, it's been a while since I last came for karaoke~

Yuuta: Oh, do you not do karaoke often?

Shinobu: Ahaha... Coming for karaoke alone wouldn't be much fun, so I haven't been since 1-B went together.

Yuuta: I see~ Then I'll invite you along the next time I'm in the mood for karaoke.

Shinobu: M-me...? T-thank you, Yuuta-kun! I appreciate it~ ♪

Tori: Uh, hello~? Don't just chat amongst yourselves, will someone explain why we're here at karaoke?
I was just dragged here with no say in the matter, so I have no idea what's going on!

Shinobu: Ah, um. We were also only told by Hibiki-dono to gather at a karaoke room.
Hibiki-dono, should we just sing?

Wataru: That's right! Today we'll be holding the "Total Transformation Karaoke Tournament"!


Tori: The what? What's that supposed to be? I bet you just dragged us here because you wanna sing!

Wataru: I will admit that I've been itching to come again since fine did karaoke together...
But we're not here for such a personal reason today. This "Total Transformation Karaoke Tournament" is part of our practice.

Yuuta: Oh, are you gonna transform into Sakuma-senpai again?
The shock from seeing your imitation of Sakuma-senpai was so huge, I don't think I'll ever forget it~

Wataru: Fufufu, why stop at just Rei? I could transform into all members of Undead if you wished for it.

Yuuta: Ooh, I'd love to see that! I'll set the mood for us with the tambourine and maracas~ ♪

Shinobu: Then allow me to play the maracas! Sha-sha-sha... ♪

Wataru: Fufufu, you're all such fun~ It certainly makes me want to live up to your expectations!

Shinobu: No, I'm not usually... But when I'm not too nervous, I can be quite enthusiastic.

Tori: Hey, wait, aren't we getting kinda sidetracked here? If this is meant to be a kind of practice, then shouldn't we be the ones doing the imitating?

Wataru: Oh, excuse me. I don't often get chances to have people play along with me, so I got a little carried away... ☆
Himegimi is correct — it will fall to you all to make the 'total transformations'.
There's no need to spend long hours mulling it over! Let us learn from all the coolness that is already in our midst!
While acting out that role, you'll grow used to it and it'll become part of you... But nevermind the dreary explanations, let's just get started!
Since you've stated your requests, I can start us off. Here we go, the "Total Transformation Karaoke Tournament" begins now~ ♪
"Tremble in fear, fools! Listen to my rock 'n' roll! Gyahahaha!"
"Koga-kun~, you're gonna scare all the weak girls~"

Wataru: "Don't worry, you'll forget all about that scary onii-san when you hear my singing. I'll envelop you gently... ♪ "
"Yes, I will protect the weak."
"Kukuku, everyone seems to be raring to go. I too am full of energy at night — I won't be left behind by you youngsters."
"I shall savour the taste of all you little misses' vitality."


Yuuta: Woaaah, it's Undead for real ☆
Hibiki-senpai, can I sing too?

Wataru: Of course! Let's all sing with wild abandon and enjoy ourselves! Let's bloom flowers of joy... ☆

Yuuta: Aw yeah! Then I'll sing Sakuma-senpai's parts, okay!
♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪

Wataru: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪

Shinobu: Woah, Yuuta-kun is amazing too! He's super cool~! Sha-sha sha-sha... ♪

Tori: ......
(Hmph, these guys are so dumb, getting dragged into Long Hair's pace.)
(Seriously, what is a "Total Transformation Karaoke Tournament" supposed to be? Aaargh, why am I stuck dealing with this?!)

Shinobu: ...? Himemiya-kun, are you not intending to sing?
When we came as a class, you sang quite a lot, so I thought you liked karaoke.

Tori: Yeah, I do. And yet I'm stuck being not able to sing, which is making me really mad!

Wataru: Fuhahahaha! Then you should just join us and sing!
Poke, poke... And confirmed~ ♪
There you go, Himegimi! It's one of fine's songs — if you aren't going to sing, then I will~ ♪

Tori: I'll sing, I'll sing!
(I bet Long Hair chose a song where Eichi-sama has the first line on purpose... Hmph, is he telling me to give it another try?)

Tori: (Fine then, I will! I'll do a perfect imitation of Eichi-sama this time!)
(I won't be beaten in karaoke, not even by Long Hair! I'm number one... ☆ )
