Chapter 12: Knight in Shining amour
"Ki-no-shi-ta! Ki-no-shi-ta!" The audience cheered. They were practically treating it as a rock concert. They were already enjoying themselves. It was hyper atmosphere amplified when the family name "Kinoshita" was heard.
Shiver. Yuuko's throat started feeling dry. The atmosphere was causing her to be even more tensed. She clenched her fists tightly. The…there goes nothing! Yuuko opened her mouth and let her lyrics flow out. I… I can… can't… h…help…
Hideyoshi was confused. He had awoken in a totally unfamiliar room. "This… ah… just what happened just now?" He bit his lower lip as he tried to remember the occurrences that led him into the room that he was in. His eyes widened as he remembered. H… Himeji's snacks… They had poisoned and knocked me out. What time is it now? Hideyoshi searched around for his handphone.
Bam! The door swung open and Kouta entered, flustered. "Hideyoshi! Your sister is going to sing!" He was almost out of breath.
"What?" Hideyoshi's eyes widened in shock.
"He..help…" Kouta struggled with his breath.
"Help me find my camera!" Kouta pleaded.
It was too late, Hideyoshi had already ran off.
No… no one is coming to save me… Yuuko gulped. That was it. She can't find the confidence to sing. The lump in her throat won't disappear. Her embarrassing moment on stage would be recorded and be remembered till the end of time. Someone… help…
Nothing happened.
No one came.
That was it.
Yuuko resigned herself to reality.
Hideyoshi was out cold. She had refused the help of her friends. She had brought this cruel fate upon herself. There was only one person to blame. That was herself, only her own weakness of being too proud.
Good bye, my honor student masquerade…
"M… my song." Yuuko said. The crowd waited eagerly for it. Yuuko could see the anticipating looks from the crowd, Shouko, Aiko and Akihisa. She was going to disappoint them, disappoint everyone.
DAME! (NO!)
Performed by You Izumi
Arrangement by Kouichi Korenaga
There…areee lies~ everywhere iiinn the cityyy
…
…
That's it. Yuuko's tone deafness had just dug a hole for herself. The crowd was shocked. No one expected that.
I'm so dead. I'm so embarrassed! Yuuko put her hands on her head and squatted down, hiding her face. Save me…
"Aneue…" Yuuko heard a familiar voice. The crowd diverted their attention to the owner of the voice. "Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Hideyoshi..?"
"Everyone!" Hideyoshi raised his hand. "Lights! Camera! Action!"
Lights flashed and dimmed down. A soft music then softly played, capturing everyone's attention.
Bam! Bam! Lights were shown down on Hideyoshi as he ran out and jumped.
OH NO TWINS! NO MORE DOUBLE
Performed by Katou Emiri
Arranged by Suzuki Hiroaki
More more…. more more gently
You must sing the melody docilely
…
Hideyoshi sang his line out as he looked over at his sister. He knew that he may get a scolding for suddenly running in and choosing a song that his sister didn't prepare for. He had come in hoping that his sister would still remember the lyrics of this nostalgic song.
…
What, what… what's up with your attitude?
Don't be so bossy!
…
When Hideyoshi sang, Yuuko was shocked. She had never expected him to sing this song. This song was what they had created when they were young. I've never thought that'll I'll have to sing this again. Yuuko then looked over and saw Hideyoshi looking at her. I'll never forget this song… That was what Yuuko thought as she sang her verse.
Twins, we are! Our faces and face are the same.
Twins, we are! But even so,
We are different! We are not the same OK?
But even so, acting is my life!
…
Yes! We are not the same! Hideyoshi had tried explaining that for ages and that didn't seem to work. Yes, looks like his sister but that doesn't mean that he is a female!
Yuuko, as a genius, naturally understands she could not ever compete with Hideyoshi in terms of charm. Yes, charm. She had the exact same face as Hideyoshi but was still unable to attract as many people as Hideyoshi did. Why? WHY? Yuuko was frustrated, angry and confused. But even so, she had to continue acting, acting as the model student that the school portrayed her as.
I'll change - Change - Let's change - Wanna change - It'll probably be fine
If we change into each other.
I'll change - Change - Let's change - Wanna change - The feeling is a success.
We've traded our belongings.
I'll change - Change - Let's change - Wanna change - It'll probably be fine.
I don't know, I won't say, strut strut.
I'll change - Change - Let's change - Wanna change - The feeling is a success.
This uncomfortable feeling seems as if it will overflow sometimes.
…
The twins sang their respective parts. This was the part that made Yuuko remember about the time she was chosen to sing for the school. She had made Hideyoshi pose as her. Those were pretty bad memories. But still, if it wasn't for that, she wouldn't had found Akihisa's nice side. Should I be thankful? Or maybe a little happy? Or maybe… I
…
Why why... Why why are you impatient?
Why do you not stay as you are?
No way, no way... No way, no way... On the surface
I want to be like a cat.
…
No! That wasn't great! There were other ways that we could had use to cover up Aneue's weakness! Hideyoshi wasn't really happy to be made to cross dress. Muttusulini! Please be quick! This song wouldn't last long!
…
Twins, oh no! I am not perfect.
Twins, oh no! But aren't you?
It's strange, it's weird-!
But... Acting is our heart.
…
Yes! Acting is what we are! It's the very essence that make us alive! It gives our heart its beats! It pumps the blood to every part of our body! Yuuko, for the first time, was very happy to be on the stage. I'm… I'm acting that I can sing! This act… wait… I can sing!
…
We can do it - If we do it - It seems we can do it - I want to do it - Of course it's all right.
Let's transform together!
We can do it - If we do it - It seems we can do it - I want to do it - Innocence is a success.
It seems I'm losing in femininity.
We can do it - If we do it - It seems we can do it - I want to do it - Of course it's all right.
Without fearing, without being discouraged, that's the way, that's the way.
We can do it - If we do it - It seems we can do it - I want to do it - Innocence is a success.
The back entrance is behind everyone, as usual
…
Hideyoshi knew that singing was never in his sister's blood. To be able to sing after so long… I'm impressed. Hideyoshi smiled as he sang along with his sister. He knew what happened when they were first given this song to sing. He wouldn't forget them. "Hideyoshi." A voice appeared in his head. "Please teach me…" The feminine voice trailed off.
…
Wits/ Style/ Way of talking. We're fooling them too much.
You're pissing me off! Don't win with your cuteness!
…
"Hideyoshi… please teach me…" Yuuko looked at her brother. She was almost in tears. As a 6 years old child, she had to sing in front of some guest in their house. She couldn't afford to sing off tune. There was no way that she could disgrace both her family and herself!

They can't even tell if we're a girl or a boy.
…
"Aneue… but there's no time." Hideyoshi told his sister. "I can't help you now…"
"But Hideyoshi…" Yuuko pleaded. "I need your help! I can't disgrace us!"
"Aneue…" Hideyoshi thought for a while. "I'm sorry, Aneue… I need you to lie for there is only 1 way to help you."
…
More more…. more more gently
You must sing the melody docilely!
…
"That was great." The twin's father complimented them. "Both of you must be tired. Look, Hideyoshi is trying to catch his breath." He pointed at his son. Hideyoshi was panting. "Go on and rest, we shall meet for dinner later."
…
What, what… what's up with your attitude?
I bet you think I'm bad at this!
…
"Hideyoshi… how are you? I'm sorry." Yuuko apologized to her brother.
"Don't worry, we are twins after all. You did a great job lip-syncing too." Hideyoshi smiled brightly. "Twins have to help each other, that's a given right?"
"Hideyoshi…"
…
Cheers erupted from the crowd. "Ki-no-shi-ta!" The guests cheered even more.
"Encore! Encore!" Akihisa cheered.
"Huh?" Yuuko was shocked.
"Encore! It was splendid!" Akihisa cheered.
"Yes! That is expected!" Someone from the audience shouted!
"Yeah! 1 more song!"
"1 more!"
"Eh…" Yuuko looked at Hideyoshi. She walked towards him and said, "Guess we…" Before she completed her sentence, Hideyoshi interrupted her.
"Aneue, let's lip-sync." Hideyoshi suggested. "You can't sing."
"No, Hideyoshi. You have done enough." Yuuko thanked Hideyoshi. "Akihisa requested it. I can't disappoint him."
"Aneue…"
"Get off the stage!" Yuuko nudged Hideyoshi.
"All right…" Hideyoshi walked off. That's his sister, proud till the end and never ever going to do something that she didn't have confidence in.
She could do it. That moment of time was for her. With the microphone tightly grasped between her hands, she got ready and took in a deep breath.
All right! It's been 6 years! However, I had this chapter out since then! Sorry for not updating! It's Yuuko's showtime! How's is it going to work for her? You will know in the next chapters of 'The Ultimate Idiot'! Please do drop in a review! Till next chapter, see you! Let's wait for it!
