Eri held the mic near her mouth with two hands and then she started singing.

[Song: Oto No Harue // By- Goose House]

(The lyrics written here are a part of the entire song and the lyrics written here are translated)

She started singing in her childish and sweet voice, which was pleasant to hear.

"Please let our voices reach, even when we're separated in faraway places.

Go towards the direction of the sounds when you're lost→"

Eri was singing in a very joyful manner, She was constantly swaying her body while singing, like she was enjoying it.

"We were able to meet in this stifling world (Oh oh oh)

Let's go and see this colorful world (Hoi!) together."

"For someone like you who works hard, there'll definitely be times where you hit a wall

But it's okay, you don't have to shoulder it all alone (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)"

"I wipe those tears that I can't show to anyone and continue walking.

The wind starts blowing, and my hair sways along. The future is just starting (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)."

"If you'll laugh, I'll laugh as well (Yeah yeah!). Round and round, it'll reach someone else again (Fu!)

Please let our voices reach, even when we're separated in faraway places

Go towards the direction of the sounds when you're lost→"

The song ended and she had a huge smile on her face. This was enough for me to know that I succeeded in rescuing her. Rescuing her from captivation and give her an environment where she can live a normal life. She may not forget those days of cruel experimentation but now her past won't shadow her entire life.

I clapped a lot as a proud father would, I showed her how proud I was. She came running and hugged my legs. I picked her up.

"When did you learned to sing so well?" I asked

"I watched some videos online. I like this song very much as it reminds me of you so I thought I would sing this as my first song for you." She said innocently.

'What a cute little daughter I have.'

But the happy moments didn't last long as Knuckleduster was being grumpy.

"Next. Do this quick. I want to go home already."

Danjuro then went and picked up the mic to sing.

"This is a party song and I like it very much, so I will sing it anyway."

[Song: Flyers/ Death Parade OP // By Bradio]

The song was funky and pop music which makes people want to dance but I didn't have any dance partner so I will restrain. But La Brava was the opposite, she jumped on Danjuro and danced with him while singing along with him.

It was a nice moment for those two.

Then came the turn of La Brava, who quickly picked up the mic,

"This song is dedicated to someone special to me. Gentle, I like the moments of my life when I am with you and I would like to continue to be a part of your life, watching you achieve your goals from the sides and be a support to you, like this till our end."

She completed her obvious proposal and then started singing,

[Song: Hikarunara/ Your Lie in April OP // By- Goose House]

"A rainbow after the rain, and a flower that bloomed with the cold, are abundantly changing colors.

That day, I fell in love with you who looked up at the blazing red sky.

That one instant in a scene of the dramatic film

Won't disappear, because it's etched into my heart

It's you, you who taught me.

If the darkness shines too, then it'll become a night of stars.

Don't hide your sadness behind a laughing face anymore

Because all the twinkling stars will shine on you

The hope and the anxiety you grasped tightly

Will surely move you and me, because it will become a light"

La Brava told how her life changed after she met Danjuro through the song. It was nice to hear her singing with emotions filled in the voice.

Next, It was Knuckleduster's turn.

"I won't sing," Knuckleduster said without any reservations.

"Come on old man, Don't spoil the fun. Start singing." I said.

And after that La Brava and Eri went to Knuckleduster to convince him.

"Please Uncle Knuckle, Please sing for us," Eri said with pleading eyes, and La Brava who stood behind Eri, nodded her head.

After some more pleadings from Two 'little' girls, Knuckleduster sighed and picked up the mic.

"I am going to sing. So if it is not to your liking or you get irritated by my singing, then it's all your fault as you asked for it."

[Song: Baka Mitai // Yakuza OST]

"Baka mitai, kodomo na no ne

Yume wo, otte kidzutsuite

Uso ga, heta na kuse ni

waraenai egao wo miseta

I love you mo, roku ni iwanai

Kuchibeta de honma ni bukiyou

Na no ni, na no ni doushite

sayonara wa, ieta no

Dame da ne. Dame yo, dame na no yo"

He then started singing. The song was a ballad and Knuckleduster was singing like an old man in love. It was a sight to see. I clicked a few pictures for future. If I am at a disadvantage against him, then I will use these pictures as my card against him.

"Honma ni, roku na, otoko ya nai

Soroi no, yubiwa hazushimasu

Zamaa miro, seise-i- suru wa

Nan na yo, kono namida,

baka mitai.."

The song ended and 'Uncle Knuckle' got a round of applause from everyone, especially the 'little' girls. I also applauded him, as I had to say, he sings really well.

Without wasting any more time, I picked up the mic and quickly chose the song on the Karaoke Box, as I have already decided which song I am going to sing.

It was a dance-pop song which is suitable for the party mood. Eri and La Brava sang what they wanted to express but it is a party, so someone has to sing the party song and that will be me.

'Even if Danjuro sang a Funk Rock song, I will sing the Party Song which will make them them dance on the floor.'

[Song: I Gotta Feeling // By The Black Eyed Peas]

"I got a feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night, let's live it up

I got my money, let's spend it up (fee-)

Go out and smash it, like "Oh my God"

Jump out that sofa, let's kick it, off (fee-)

I know that we'll have a ball

If we get down and go out, and just lose it all

I feel, stressed out, I wanna let it go

Let's go way out, spaced out, and losin' all control

Fill up my cup, mazel tov

Look at her dancin', just take it, off (fee-)

Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down

Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it

And do it, and do it, let's live it up

And do it, and do it, and do it, do it, do it

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it"

'Why are they not dancing?'

When I completed my song, I had this thought. I looked at the 'audience' which was completely silent. Only Eri was clapping her hands vigorously, praising me. Other than her, they were just silently looking at me with a bit confused expression like they wanted to say something but they couldn't.

"What happened? Why are you all silent?" I asked them to get rid of this awkward silence which getting more awkward by the second.

"We didn't understand..." Danjuro tried to say something.

"What did you not understand?"

"Any of it. You shithead, You were basically just repeating the same lines, like a broken record player. You sounded like you were having a stroke while singing and we didn't knew how to react to that. So out of respect, we let you complete the song. But you sound like trash. You should change your name to Night Trash." Knuckleduster said.

"We enjoyed the music Chief, but we didn't know how to react as it was a bit... different so we just stayed silent. But I have to say you sing really well Chief." La Brava just rephrased whatever Knuckleduster said but in a polite manner.

"And I agree with La Brava." Danjuro sided with La Brava's Polite comment.

Then I looked at Eri, who had stars in her eyes.

"Did you really sing in English, Papa?" She asked me, innocently

"Yes. Did you really liked it?"

She nodded, "Yes, I really liked it but I have a question?", I gestured her to continue, "Can you teach me English?" She asked. "Why?"

Did she like my singing that much that she wants to learn English? I thought she was inspired by my singing, but the reality was much harsher.

"I cannot watch English cartoons without subtitles and concentrating on both the cartoon and subtitles is a very hard thing to do. So if I could learn English then I won't need subtitles anymore," Eri said.

'It was my fault to raise my hopes up. What I even expecting from a 4-Year Old?'

"Okay, but first let's go home. It's already late and I also have work to do tomorrow." I said and stretched my hands towards Eri. But she stepped back and went behind La Brava and Danjuro.

"I am not going home today. I want to spend time with Danjuro-Nii and Lala Nee-Chan." She said while hiding behind Danjuro's legs. I then looked at Danjuro and La Brava, they nodded.

"I will also like to spend my birthday with Eri-Chan." La Brava said.

"If the birthday girl says then it's okay. I am taking my leave then... And don't let Eri watch cartoons all night. I will come back tomorrow and if I found you even a bit sleep deprived, then Mr. Tablet will face a major break-up with Ms. Internet and I will be the one to set up the breakup so you better be careful."

I said and then took my leave through the balcony with Jetpack and {AEZAKMI} Cheat.

....

[3:00 AM]

I entered my room directly through the window of my room. I am feeling so sleepy that I don't even want to open a door.

'I will drop on the bed and sleep like a log.'

I walked into my room and went to the sliding closet to take out my pajamas. When I found them, I put the Night Slash suit in the Inventory and started wearing my pajamas.

When I was in the middle of it, I heard a slight sound in the room. I suspect someone is in my room. I quickly turned around with my arms stretched, there was a silenced pistol in my hand which I took out from the Inventory.

I saw the one who was intruded in my room, and when I saw her, my eyes went wide. Our eyes met.

I had eyes that were wide open because of surprise and shock while she had cold eyes looking at me.

[BGM: Wagamama // By Alisa Takigawa]

She walked a bit towards me so I could see her clearly, she looked at me with a cold expression on her face.

"So, this is what you were hiding from me?"
