Chapter 61: The Music Master

After choosing a suitable outfit, Sonoko Suzuki first took Seimei Suzuki and Gyokuhana Kurosaki to the Mouri Detective Agency to meet up with Ran and the others, and then had Ryuichi Inoue drive them to their destination.

Since Sonoko had only gained this opportunity for a close-up encounter with her idols by leveraging the influence of the Suzuki Group, the secret that she was the second young lady of the Suzuki Group naturally could not be hidden from the manager of the Rex Rock Band.

With the manager having given a heads-up beforehand, the members of the rock band certainly did not put on airs on purpose; instead, they appeared exceptionally warm and enthusiastic.

There were four members in the Rex Rock Band, two men and two women. Their dressing style was very rock-and-roll, featuring leather jackets and metal studs, making them look quite avant-garde.

However, what attracted Seimei's attention the most were the lead singer and the manager of the band.

The lead singer of the Rex Rock Band was named Tatsuya Kimura, a very handsome guy with his blonde-dyed hair spiked high, giving Seimei the impression of a Super Saiyan.

The band's manager, on the other hand, was named Mari Terahara, a beautiful woman with shoulder-length curly hair.

The reason Seimei paid attention to these two people was because the words "Available for Check-in" were floating right above both of their heads.

"Ran, it's our turn to sing the song we requested."

Hearing the familiar melody of the song start to play, Sonoko hurriedly pulled Ran onto the front stage, and the two young women began to sing along holding microphones.

How cute!

Watching Ran and Sonoko singing hand-in-hand on the stage, Conan could not help but reveal an expression like a doting father, completely ignoring the hidden murderous intent in the private room.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Ran and the others, Seimei secretly touched Tatsuya Kimura and Mari Terahara.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in with Tatsuya Kimura. Reward: Proficient-level [Singing]. The host may claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in with Mari Terahara. Reward: Proficient-level [Singing]. The host may claim it at any time."

"Use!"

Following Seimei's silent recitation in his heart, two sets of proficient-level [Singing] skill memories flooded into his mind simultaneously.

Although the levels and names of the two skills were identical, the skill memories Seimei received were different.

The proficient-level [Singing] skill checked in from Tatsuya Kimura contained various singing techniques and memories with a bold and wild musical style, making it more suitable for songs leaning toward male vocals.

Meanwhile, the proficient-level [Singing] skill checked in from Mari Terahara featured a gentle musical style in its techniques and memories, clearly making it more suitable for singing songs that leaned slightly more toward female vocals.

After accepting these two singing memories that had different musical styles yet complemented each other's shortcomings, Seimei transformed overnight from a music novice into a music master, and his [Singing] skill level even advanced to the mastery level.

"We have hope~~"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Once Sonoko and Ran finished their song, the audience below gave a very polite round of applause, with Seimei and Conan naturally clapping the loudest.

"Seimei, do you and Conan want to go up and sing a song too?" Sonoko walked over and sat down beside Seimei, gently petting his little head and saying.

Seimei said, "Sonoko Sister, there are no songs here that I like. Can I just sing one a cappella?"

Having just received the [Singing] memories, Seimei had developed quite a bit of interest in singing, feeling an urge to let it all out.

"Of course you can! Everyone is just out to have fun, and being happy is the most important thing." Before Sonoko could answer, Mari Terahara said with a smile, "Next, let's welcome little Seimei to the stage to sing a song for everyone. Let's give him a warm round of applause."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Hearing Mari's words, everyone cooperated by clapping and cast friendly, encouraging glances toward Seimei.

Putting aside the fact that Seimei was inherently very endearing, just considering him as the third young master of the Suzuki Group, the members of the rock band did not dare to show him any disrespect.

Seimei walked onto the stage unhurriedly. The moment he picked up the microphone, his entire temperament transformed, and he began to sing:

"Just like sunlight piercing through the night,
Dawn quietly glides across the horizon,
Whose figure shuttles through the cycles of reincarnation,
The road of the future lies right beneath our feet,
Do not be sad, do not be afraid
..."

Under the enhancement of the mastery-level [Singing] skill, Seimei's voice sounded exceptionally charming, and one could even say it possessed an inexplicable magic.

Even without any instrumental accompaniment, when Seimei sang the Ultraman Tiga theme song "Take Me Higher" in Japanese, it still made people instinctively want to sway along to the rhythm.

Laymen like Sonoko and the others simply thought Seimei sang very well, whereas Tatsuya and the others could not help but straighten up, looking at Seimei on stage with extremely complicated expressions.

As the saying goes, "Laymen watch the excitement, insiders watch the technique."

As the lead singer of the Rex Band, Tatsuya himself possessed quite good vocal skills; otherwise, he could never have become a currently popular rock singer.

Yet hearing Seimei's singing now, Tatsuya actually felt that his own vocal skills were inferior to this elementary school student, which was truly a blow to the heart!

(°Д°)

As the band's manager, Mari's pretty face was filled with utter disbelief.

If Seimei were a teenager in high school, Mari might have been able to accept it somewhat, but he was only seven years old this year!

Could it be that there really were geniuses in this world whose singing talent was maxed out right from birth?

After all, given Seimei's age, he was bound to not have spent much time on singing, so Mari could only attribute it to astonishing talent.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

As the rendition of "Take Me Higher" concluded, the people in the audience involuntarily burst into applause.

The look in Mari's eyes as she gazed at Seimei was brimming with fondness and admiration.

If not for Seimei's extraordinary background, Mari would have wanted to invite him to join the band and groom him into the brightest rising star in the music industry.

"Conan, it's your turn to perform next~" Seimei raised the corner of his mouth in a mischievous smile and shoved the microphone into Conan's hand.

"I can't do it~ Ran Sister..."

"Conan, don't be shy~" Faced with the pleading look Conan threw her way, Ran not only didn't help, but instead pushed him onto the stage with a beaming smile.

Sonoko loved to stir up trouble and waved her hand, calling out, "Little brat, don't be shy! Shinichi Kudo sings so terribly, and Ran and I can both endure it. Could you possibly sing even worse than him?"

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt an urge to flip the table.

Sonoko, you gossip, is this supposed to be comforting me?
