This Hero Is Too Curious! 50 This Hero And The New Girl!

"Yeah! Renchan!" One of the patrons of the bar shouted out.

"Woah… Are we going to get a concert?" Tael asked our group.

"Huh… It's been a long time since I heard music now that I think about it. Honestly it's something I took for granted." I said as I watched the girl. She's started to walk up to the small stage to the side of the bar.

This girl is fairly pet.i.te. She can't be over 150 centimeters tall. Her clothes are very flowy and lightly colored. She has a very cute face… N-no I'm not staring at her. I'm just trying to get an accurate read on her. Anyway, she's rather skinny but seems to have an energy around her that is reminiscent of bubbles.

She's stepped on to the stage and seems to be placing an item that is reminiscent of a microphone stand from Earth… Wait, is that actually a microphone?

The girl placed the stand on the stage and tapped it twice. Miraculously, the sound of her tapping was being heavily amplified to the point to where it was loud and clear.

"Ahem… Testing testing one two three…" She said into the microphone.

"We can hear you loud and clear, Renchan!" The barkeeper shouted.

"Is this normal or something?" I asked the party.

"Dunno. May as well enjoy free music, right Erana?" Kany said while nudging Erana.

"This will be my first time hearing someone perform music! This is exciting!"

"Really? I've heard many people play music before." Tael absentmindedly declared.

"Well, not all of us are you, Tael." I said as I nudged him in the side.

"Oi, Onii-san! Let's see who can finish the most flagons before she starts singing!" Kany proclaimed while pointing at me.

"U-Um… Is that a good idea? I don't really want to get drunk…"

"Nah you'll be fine! Your const.i.tution stat is high enough to where a few drinks won't get you drunk!"

Erana and Tael were looking at me expectantly. I'm not sure what to do.

"Here you go bud. 4 flagons. 2 for each of you." The innkeeper's son said as he placed the large flagons in front of both myself and Kany.

"Guh…" I let out.

"No escape now, Onii-san! On the count of three! One… Two… Three!" Kany announced as she raised her flagon to her face.

"W-Wait! Fine! I'll do it!" I shouted as I brought the flagon to my face and began to drink like an alcoholic.

I wonder if my parents would be embarra.s.sed of me right now…

After a moment, I finished the first flagon, Kany had already started on her second flagon.

"Ugh!" I let out as I grabbed the second flagon. I hate the taste of beer, but I also don't want to lose. I think I have a problem.

"CHUG CHUG CHUG!" Tael egged us on.

"U-Um… I don't know how these things work, but… Chug!" Erana joined Tael after a moment's hesitation.

The people in the inn were watching our drinking compet.i.tion, much to the dismay of the girl on the stage.

"Bwah!" x2

It seems like Kany and I both finished our second flagon at the same time. It's a tie.

"Haha! Howzat Onii-san!" Kany asked as she poked me in the chest. It seems like she is visibly drunk.

Wait, am I drunk? I can't really tell. I can feel a heat in my stomach but it's not like I've ever been drunk before.

"U-Um…" I let out.

"Hey!" The girl on the stage shouted into the microphone.

The girl's sudden shout seems to have grabbed the attention of the entire inn at the same time.

"Since you two have had that compet.i.tion, that must mean that you're quite the performers! Am I right?" The girl asked us.

"Bwaaaah…" Kany let out. It seems like she's fallen asleep on the table.

"U-Um… Not really…" I let out. It doesn't seem like my speech is slurred at all.

"Don't be shy! Come on up here! It'll be fun!" She declared as she made a pulling motion with her hand.

"Go on, Kenji-san! It should be fun!"

"Come on Kenji! Show us those vocal chops!"

I decided to succ.u.mb to peer pressure as I stood up from my seat. I walked up to the stage and stepped on to it.

"What's your name, mister?" The girl asked me. Now that I'm up close, she's really cute… Hey wait, get a hold of yourself Kenji! You should be better than this!

"Um… Mister?"

"O-Oh, right. I'm Kenji!" I said to the girl.

"No, don't tell me, tell the microphone!" The girl said as she grabbed my face by the cheek and pulled me towards the microphone.

"I-I'm Kenji…" I softly said into the microphone. Could I be getting stage fright now? This is ridiculous! I've killed goblins and a hobgoblin and have magic and stuff now! How can I be afraid of what people I've never met before think of me? This is ridiculous.

"Well Kenji-san, I'm going to be singing my first song! My name is Rena and I'm Mulbik's number 1 idol!" She declared while giving a peace sign.

"Oooh!" The patrons of the inn shouted. It seems like this Rena girl is fairly popular. Wait, she said she's an idol? Is this like how idols existed in j.a.pan? Wait, why does a farming village have an idol?

"Are you ready?" She shouted into the microphone.

"YEAH!!!" The inns patrons shouted. The reverberations of the patrons shouts shook the inn. I found it hard to stay on my feet.

"Alright! This one is called 'Stars are for love!'"

What a frilly name…

"YEAH!!!" The inns patrons shouted once more.

"Let's go!" She shouted while jumping.

Suddenly, the sound of different instruments began to reverberate all around the inn. I don't know where they're coming from, but I can hear things like trumpets, guitars, drums, and other instruments playing in accompaniment to her singing. It's as if a full band is playing inside of this inn right now. I can't help but gawk in awe like a child.

~After a few minutes~

"We shall cross the stars of love!" Rena finished singing. The music stopped and the crowd went wild.

"Whew! How was that, Kenji-san?" The sweaty Rena asked me. Being an idol must be a lot of work, even in a small farming village.

"U-Um… You did great. How did you get the instruments and stuff to play like that?"

"Oh, that's a secret!" She said while holding a finger to her lips as if she was shus.h.i.+ng me.

Another secret. What is it with girls and keeping secrets from me?

"Ah, Kenji-san! Would you like to sing?" She asked me while holding the mic up towards me.

"W-What? Me?" I backed away a bit. I'm not at all confident in my ability to sing. I've never gone to sing karaoke with people nor did I ever try to sing. I'm not sure how to do this…

"Come on! Kenji-san, please do it!" Rena begged me while holding my hand. Jeez.. She really is cute! This isn't fair! Why am I such an easy man? What do I do?

I looked towards my party.

Erana is trying to wake Kany up from her alcoholic stupor and Tael is just watching me. I looked to Tael for rea.s.surance (which I admit is a bad move) and he gave me a thumbs up.

...Screw it. I'm going to do it. What am I going to sing?

"Do I get instruments like you got?" I asked Rena.

"I'll make sure you do, Kenji-san!" Rena a.s.sured me.

I grasped the microphone and shouted into it.

"Alright! I'm gonna drop a song that I heard a while ago! I hope you all like it!"

"Alright!" The patrons shouted out. It seems like everyone is ready to have a good time. This should be easy.

I've decided to sing a song from a certain video game I played a while ago. This song involves a certain dragon and a real estate agency.

I took a deep breath and, as if magically, the guitar riff blared out.

~After a few minutes~

"Oretachi no JUDGEMENT!" I shouted as I pointed to the sky like a rockstar.

"..."

Silence.

Maybe everyone was stunned by my immaculate singing ability?

"YOU SUCK!" Someone shouted out. Soon after, boo's started to reverberate throughout the inn. I could feel the shame and embarra.s.sment fill my being. I looked over to the table with my party for some form of rea.s.surance.

...They're all looking at the ground in embarra.s.sment.

"Hahaha! Sorry Kenji-san! It seems like you just don't stack up to my singing skills!"

My embarra.s.sment quickly turned to anger at the taunting of this girl. I quickly turned over towards her.

"Hey, hey! Don't be mad! Here, open up that status page you have! I'll show you something cool!"

Huh? My status page?

"Status." I said aloud. My status screen appeared in front of me. None of my stats had changed since the last time I had checked. My experience has gone up but that's to be expected since I killed the goblin.

"Check out your available cla.s.ses now, Kenji-san!"

Following her instructions, I swiped from left to right to see my available cla.s.ses and to my surprise, something new was there.

"Yeah! Look at that! You unlocked the bard cla.s.s!" Rena announced to me.
