A short story about a boy whose name is Yutaka and sucessfully sings as a soloist in a choir with his soprano voice, but then gets into the trouble of his puberty vocal change.

I was within a non-ending applause
Sfx: Aaaaaah….!
My soprano was running through the hall, bathed in attention
Going through admiration…
Sign: 14 days left to the contest
The voice from of the freshman from the boy soprano is [unsure, as something is cut]
quick, heavily

THIS feeling…
The fully sparkling moment ends, now, the loss starts
OCTAVE

Yutaka, just now, you turned it pretty well inside out, didn't you?!
Oh my~ A cold? Did you rinse out your mouth properly?
I beg you, you are a soloist, you know~
Don't slack off.
Sensei, let's practice this part
That's right

……..
Well, isn't it something, you knew?
It's something that somewhen would have had to happen.
It's just a change of voice, isn't it? To get depressed like this…
Don't say, don't say it….!
Uh

*Fuguu*
*u*
Really….
*[can't read properly むそぶたよ?]*
Ah… chief…. [leader of that choir group, how to call?]
If it's a cold, then get quickly home and sleep.
So that the soloist won't pull everybody down.

Don't worry about it, Yutaka~
Since Chouya ist always especially strict before a contest.
Through I get the feeling that she is expecially cold to me…
Ah… Could be…
In her first year times Chouya has been chosen in a big selection as a soloist, after all.
After all… What about that?
And then continuing her second year, Yutaka came?
…..?
Ah…!
Page 7
Idiot, Chouya isn't such a person! *… probably*
*ouch* A joke, that was a joke!
So that's how it is…
It would be troublesome, if she/they got nailed down by me.
I, too, am trying my best.
I've heard you are doing the solo part in this year's choir contest?
Y-Yes…
I've watched it on television last year, it was an impressing thing.
It's because Yutaka's voice a far more beautiful and better than the other children.
