"Well then, Sora's first song, and also the first song for the upcoming Krolewska concert, starts right here!"
With a snap of her fingers, the expression on Sora's face instantly bloomed like sunshine.
To be fair, Sora had a remarkably good voice and excellent performance talent. Almost like Michael Jackson from the previous life, possessing infinite charm the moment she stood on stage. Even singing pop songs that quickly became tiresome to listen to, she could still make people feel some excitement with her jumping and dancing. Of course, there wasn't much more. After all, this wasn't a concert venue, nor were there harmonies or equipment, but she still managed to evoke considerable feeling relying solely on her voice and sense of rhythm.
Even the bickering Blacksteel crosstalk duo next door rarely gathered over; the others also ( one after another) ran into the living room, gathering together, listening to Sora's a cappella singing, clapping along, occasionally echoing the song above, showing expressions of appreciation.
And with an audience, Sora's movements and singing became even more unrestrained; there were even some cool light patterns directly created by Originium Arts around her. Amidst her a cappella singing, she walked down the corridor with brilliant steps as if on a stage, even winking flirtatiously at Texas, earning a somewhat helpless smile from Texas.
Seemingly unsatisfied after finishing one song, Sora continuously sang a second, then a third on the vehicle. As if treating this physical exertion as some kind of entertainment. Amidst the cheers of others, Sora's movements, dance, and singing became increasingly unrestrained; even under the power of her own Originium Arts, there was a slight echo of harmony around her. Even the RV's AI joined in, starting to play some coordinating tunes, even pulling the somewhat helpless Texas into singing a rather sweet love song duet, making Lappland grit her teeth watching.
But seeing such scenery to pass the time during such a long journey was already a rare thing, moreover, the atmosphere was also very good; Lappland just joined in, singing a song with a bit of a metal rock flavor along with Sora herself.
Since both Texas and Lappland had participated, the others naturally couldn't avoid it. With the AI's support, the Blacksteel crosstalk duo sang a high-speed RAP full of gunpowder smell; Exusiai sang a rock song with a slightly unique vocal line. Croissant surprisingly sang a rather gentle song with a voice similar to Enka, shattering everyone's long-held preconceived notions. After several people sang in succession, Sora took over the last part and sang several more songs, finally ending with a slightly melodious tune. The small concert thus came to an end.
"…Thank you very much for everyone's support! Thank you!"
"Oh oh!!!"
Infected by the atmosphere, the group of people burst into applause, paying tribute to the beautiful girl idol before them who was panting slightly from singing and dancing.
This whole session lasted nearly two hours; singing and dancing non-stop with interaction and songs, even by beast-girl standards, was slightly tiring. But not as Li Lin expected, sitting directly on the chair and starting to drink water; instead, somehow, Sora twirled the microphone on her fingertips and aimed it at Li Lin, who was preparing to read a novel.
"Li Lin, mm, no, Junior Prophet, actually you wanted to sing too, right?"
A rare serious expression appeared on her seemingly delicate and tender face as she turned the microphone and handed it to the bewildered Li Lin.
"…?????????"
"I know, okay?"
Wearing an idol dress, pointing the microphone sword-like at Li Lin, even the usually good-tempered Sora looked serious when her professional field was mentioned.
"Junior Prophet hums some songs from time to time, I've always kept track. I went to check the company's database and compared; there's none of that so-called previously widely sung stuff Junior Prophet mentioned, all are brand new. Junior Prophet, no, Li Lin, since you possess such talent, why not come sing a song?"
"No, I said I actually don't know…"
"…"
"Alright, I'll sing."
Seeing Sora's rare stubborn expression, Li Lin raised his hands in surrender and cleared his throat.
Sora was the type who seemed easy to talk to, also very cheerful and lively. Easy to build relationships with, easy to communicate with, but once she decided on something, truly nothing could pull her back. Just like her decision to join Penguin Logistics as an idol; once determined, she wouldn't find any excuses or reasons. What's more, Li Lin himself didn't plan to hide anything, just purely felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, belting out songs with his buddies in KTV was fine, but singing in front of so many people, Li Lin felt it still wasn't quite right. Even with the atmosphere just now, asking him to go up himself was slightly awkward.
If the most important element constituting a person's sense of belonging was undoubtedly culture.
Li Lin actually was quite unwilling initially to spread this kind of cultural thing here. Always felt listening to such things in the future would produce a kind of hallucination. As if he had never left. But thinking carefully, these thoughts were just being pretentious. To put it bluntly, just lazy. And timid.
But since the request had already been made, not showing a couple of tricks, displaying the top-level cultural standard from Earth, was also unjustifiable. Otherwise, wouldn't the long-held disdain just become empty talk ? Li Lin still had some self-awareness about his singing ability and vocal line; this definitely couldn't compare. But even if the singing ability was particularly poor, there were still those few songs that could be particularly soul-stirring.
This might not be suitable while driving, but now the AI managed the vehicle, who would care?
"Forget it, I'll sing one I've been pondering recently…"
But actually not. Choosing a Chinese song feels like it would evoke emotions related to the scene again, let's change to a more suitable one… Since there are no instruments, relying solely on rhythm, there should be nothing more suitable than this. Coincidentally, Exusiai and the others also seem to quite like this type.
Looking at the vast wilderness outside, then looking at the expectant faces of the many girls, Li Lin smiled.
No one can refuse this song. Absolutely no one can refuse.
"Looks like I have to show off too… Then I'll just sing 'We Will Rock You' for everyone!"
"?"
Singing is singing, why stick out your hands wanting to slap the table?
Watching Li Lin roll up his sleeves preparing to slap the table, the several girls exchanged glances, looking puzzled.
