After a moment of confusion, someone finally took the microphone to announce whatever was there to announce and get it over with. However, when they heard the speaker's voice, it wasn't Mrs. Edelstein's.


"GOOD MORNING CHICKS AND DICKS! THIS IS THE AWESOME GILBERT BEILSHMIDT SPEAKING"


"That's a one-week detention for calling such atrocity in school grounds!" Mr. Edelstein growled while facepalming. The students don't mind it at all. In fact, they found it amusing. Gilbert continued speaking through the microphone.


"WE INTERRUPT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WITH A SPECIAL PROPOSAL BY ALFRED F. JONES."


Oh, so this is the "project" he's been talking about. Kiku thought.


"MR. AFJ IS GOING TO SING THE JAPANESE COVER OF A FAMOUS CLASSIC ORIGINALLY COMPOSED BY FRANK VALLI, AND IT WILL BE PLAYED BY THE FAMOUS SAXOPHONE MUSICIAN: MY LITTLE BIRDIE, MATTHEW WILLIAMS. OH AND BEFORE WE BEGIN, MR. ALFRED SAID SORRY IF HE BUTCHERED YOUR LANGUAGE, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

WARNING: THIS MAY CANCEL FIRST PERIOD TESTS."


Kiku's face was frozen. Students began to mumble in excitement as they took a quick glance at him. Matthias and Lukas snapped him back to reality just in time: a low, yet soothing masculine voice echoed the entire school.


Yume no yōna kimi (You're just too good to be true)

Megahanasenai (Can't take my eyes off of you)

Kimi wa tenshimitai (You'd be like heaven to touch)


Oh my god, is that really Alfred?! That's the majority of the reaction. Men dropped their jaws, women fangirled even though the song was not for them, and the triggered audience sat there, astounded and speechless of the beauty.


Tsuyoku dakishimetai (I wanna hold you so much)

Ai ga otozure (At long last love has arrived)

Kami ni kansha shite (And I thank God I'm alive)

Yume no yōna kimi (You're just too good to be true)

Megahanasenai (Can't take my eyes off of you)


A melody from the saxophone could be heard from the background.


Mitsume sugitara gomen (Pardon the way that I stare)

Kurabe raremasen (There's nothing else to compare)

Kimi ga mabushii (The sight of you leaves me weak)

Nani mo ienai (There are no words left to speak)

Omoi onajinara (But if you feel like I feel)

Itte kurenai ka? (Please let me know that it's real)


Kiku felt butterflies in his stomach while Matthias smiled at him goofily.
