In fact, during this period, it wasn't like Uika hadn't tried to contact Sakiko and maintain their relationship.
But in the end, she wasn't like Soyo—she wouldn't go as far as showing up at someone's door uninvited.
Ultimately, she just couldn't compete with Kamijou Mutsuki's advantage of proximity.
To be honest, Uika had previously had quite a good impression of Kamijou Mutsuki. She thought he was a good person and that he would take care of Sakiko.
But not that kind of care!
Her once "white moonlight," who had only just reunited with her, had already thrown herself into someone else's arms.
It hurt—really hurt.
Normally, if Sakiko had found someone she could entrust her life to, Uika should be happy for her.
After all, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her own orientation.
Even if a single encouraging message from Sakiko could keep her going from her debut until now, she still believed that her relationship with Sakiko was just that of normal childhood friends.
But when she thought about how Sakiko's future life might be completely filled by a boy—how she might grow distant from her, or even drift further and further away—the girl felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
She didn't even have a reason to stop it. After all, she and Kamijou Mutsuki weren't even in the same "lane" to begin with.
As for whether Kamijou Mutsuki, that flirtatious scumbag, was truly a good match—that was something Sakiko herself should consider. As an outsider, Uika had no right to interfere.
So what exactly could she do, in a situation where Sakiko and Kamijou Mutsuki becoming a couple was already a foregone conclusion, to avoid drifting apart from Sakiko—and perhaps even restore the kind of closeness they once had as children, like family?
Thinking of this, Uika, for some reason, subconsciously glanced at Kamijou Mutsuki—and fell into deep thought.
[After Taki, the scene shifted to Soyo.
The following plot mainly depicted the changes in the MyGO!!!!! girls after that previous live.
After crying on stage, they had clearly vented most of the emotions they had built up during that time.
The band, which had been on the verge of falling apart, was finally restored once more.
Even Soyo—despite previously saying she wanted to end the band—still showed up at RiNG for practice, acting tough on the outside but honest on the inside.]
In reality, as the MyGO!!!!! girls watched this harmonious scene, even Soyo—whose mood hadn't been the best—couldn't help but show a faint smile.
In the anime, their journey as MyGO!!!!! had truly been like walking on thin ice.
Back when the band nearly fell apart, if they hadn't known that, following anime tropes, the story wouldn't just let the band disband like that, they might have thought MyGO!!!!! would repeat Crychic's fate.
Now that they had finally reached the other side and welcomed a happy ending, they couldn't help but let out a small sigh of relief.
It really hadn't been easy.
[However, new problems soon arose.
Because of Tomori's previous "overbooked" scheduling, right after finishing one live, they already had another performance set for the weekend three days later. And since Utakotoba was an improvised performance, it couldn't be replicated for now.
Soyo didn't want to perform Haruhikage, and they couldn't just play Hekitenbansou alone at the live. Thus, creating a new song became an urgent issue for the girls.
At this moment, however, Anon suddenly realized an even more important problem.
"The band name and stage outfits!"
"Is this really the time to worry about that?"
Taki looked rather speechless.]
Seriously—this is what you're focusing on right now?
As expected of you, Anon!
Clearly, the girls in reality had exactly the same reaction as in the anime.
Watching her own actions from a third-person perspective, Anon's face turned slightly red.
Still, she couldn't help but defend herself with things like "sharpening the axe won't delay the chopping of wood" and "stage outfits are the soul of a band," making everyone burst into laughter as a cheerful atmosphere filled the air.
But come to think of it, the band name in the anime still hadn't been finalized?
The "MyGO " name that Tomori mentioned before—had it not been officially decided yet?
[Although the issue of a new song was troublesome, the girls still decided to go ahead with the live performance three days later.
However, none of these problems could be solved overnight, so after making the decision, the girls went their separate ways.
At the same time, Anon, unusually, walked together with Soyo.
"Soyo-sensei" wanted to act tsundere, but she was no match for Anon.
"She didn't give up on the band—or on you—even when she was all alone!"
"…"
Soyo turned her head away, her expression complicated.
"We've really been completely wrapped around Tomori's finger!"
"Oh, right—I'm not going to call you 'Soyo-san' anymore."
"Huh?"
Soyo looked at Anon in confusion as she stepped aside.
"I'm not quitting, so Soyorin, you shouldn't quit either~"
And just like that, "Soyo-sensei" gained a new nickname.]
It could only be said—"Saint Anon" truly lived up to her name!
After watching that part, the girls in front of the screen couldn't help but sigh like that.
But what they cared about even more was…
"Eh? Soyorin? That's such a cute nickname, as expected of me~"
Anon smiled as she looked at Soyo.
"I'll call you that from now on~"
"Don't call me that!"
Soyo's reaction was exactly the same as her animated counterpart.
"You—don't go around giving people such weird nicknames!"
Taki, standing nearby, also nodded in agreement.
"Eh? Really?"
Faced with Soyo's rejection, Anon puffed her cheeks slightly.
"I think Soyorin sounds pretty cute!"
As she said this, she turned to look at Kamijou Mutsuki beside her.
"What do you think, Kamijou?"
"I'm watching while sitting."
"Huh?"
"I mean… it's pretty good. Soyorin does sound nice."
"Eh? Mutsuki-kun thinks that nickname sounds cute too?"
Hearing Kamijou Mutsuki's reply, before Anon could even react, Soyo—who had been strongly rejecting the nickname just moments ago—suddenly blushed, looking at him with a slightly shy expression.
"…Cute?"
"In that case, everyone can call me that from now on. I have no objections!"
Anon: ?
Even though Soyo had accepted the nickname she came up with, Anon didn't feel happy at all.
No—what's with that attitude?
When she said it, Soyo resisted so much, but the moment Kamijou Mutsuki said it, her stance completely changed.
At least try to keep a consistent attitude!
Anon couldn't help but grind her teeth as she glared at Soyo.
This "valuing romance over friendship" ugly side—she had truly seen it clearly today!
Meanwhile, Nyamu watched the girls' interaction with great interest.
Wasn't this way more entertaining than the anime?
[In the anime, the girls of MyGO!!!!! also began working hard for the upcoming live and new song.
Tomori wrote lyrics, Taki composed, and as for Anon…
"Hello everyone, Nyamu Nyamu~"
"…On a whim, I bought an electronic drum set."
She had been reading, but suddenly started watching Nyamu's videos midway. However, this time she managed to control herself and continued working hard.]
