"Alright, Mio, stop. Didn't I say so? If you can't do it, don't force yourself. If it really doesn't work, we can sing another song."
That was right. After discovering that Mio Akiyama couldn't sing in an operatic style, Luo Yu had written another song. However, Mio Akiyama had become stubborn.
Although everyone had decided to practice another song, she still came to Luo Yu to learn how to sing in an operatic style.
She still hadn't learned it yet, though she had gotten the basics down. Luo Yu's assessment was:
Talented, but not by much.
"Sorry. Even after all this time, I still haven't learned it."
Mio Akiyama looked dejected. She felt that she had let everyone down.
"It's fine, Mio. Luo Yu said operatic singing was pretty difficult. If you can't do it, then you can't do it." Ritsu Tainaka hurriedly comforted her.
"Alright, we haven't uploaded a video in days. We need to record another one, or our first place won't be secure. Everyone should already be familiar with 'Euterpe,' right? Let's record that one."
"You call a vote count far beyond second place insecure?"
Ritsu Tainaka complained to Luo Yu. He had said the same thing before, claiming that first place still wasn't secure. So they had uploaded several more videos, and now he was still saying it wasn't secure. Were the votes far surpassing second place fake or something?
Seeing Luo Yu pretend not to hear her, Ritsu Tainaka could only turn to Mio Akiyama and ask,
"Mio, how are you feeling now? Can you sing?"
"I can."
Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, Mio Akiyama answered firmly.
Then they turned on the camera and began recording, and everyone started playing.
"Blooming wildflowers, ah, please tell me, why must people always hurt one another?"
