"Don't worry, Cat,"
Just as Anon was complaining internally, Kamijou Mutsuki was still going on.
"I've already bought the ghost bike and leather jacket—Grandma will definitely be satisfied when the time comes!"
What the hell are a ghost bike and leather jacket?!
You're obviously going there to provoke her, aren't you?!
And since when did she become your grandma?!
"What are you trying to do to the stray cat?!"
At this moment, Taki, who was standing nearby, finally couldn't sit still anymore and snatched the cat away from Kamijou Mutsuki.
When it came to this guy, she absolutely couldn't relax her guard!
"Exactly, she's still just a child!"
Anon also chimed in from the side.
In response, Kamijou Mutsuki simply curled his lips slightly.
Like he's not a child himself?
[At this moment, in the anime, after such a long period of preparation, MyGO!!!!! finally began their performance.
After a short intro, Tomori's highly recognizable voice echoed across the stage.
"交差点の真ん中急ぐ人に紛れて."
Kousaten no mannaka isogu hito ni magirete.
"僕だけがあてもなく漂うみたいだ."
Boku dake ga ate mo naku tadayou mitai da.]
Seeing MyGO!!!!! begin their performance in the anime, the girls in real life stopped their playful bickering.
The song Tomori was performing was the newly created one—Mayoiuta.
It could be said to be one of MyGO!!!!!'s classic songs, not inferior to any of their previous ones.
Even the girls in real life found themselves somewhat captivated.
["…この心を無視して."
Kono kokoro o mushi shite.
"輝かしい明日を推奨しないでくれ."
Kagayakashii ashita o suishou shinaide kure.
As Tomori continued singing, Umiri and Mutsumi also appeared on screen.
It was clear that they both cared deeply about MyGO!!!!!.
Or rather… about someone within MyGO!!!!!.]
Taki, seeing this, subconsciously glanced at Umiri.
However, when she met Umiri-sensei's questioning gaze, she immediately felt a bit embarrassed and turned her head away.
As for Soyo, she instinctively looked toward Mutsumi.
Then she noticed that Mutsumi had taken the "cat's" previous spot and was now sitting in Kamijou Mutsuki's lap—her expression instantly darkened slightly.
["Furueru kimi ni boku mo iru sakebu yo."
"Mayoi boshi no uta."
As Tomori continued her performance, the song Mayoiuta reached its conclusion.
With the end of the song, the girls were met with a wave of cheers like a rising tide.
"Thank you everyone, the song we just performed was 'Mayoiuta.'"
The success of the performance clearly made Anon quite excited as she turned to look at Tomori beside her.
"Tomori, want to say a few words?"]
Anon's peculiar way of addressing her.
Taki couldn't help but frown slightly.
What did you just call Tomori?
"Is there a problem, Rikki?"
"I told you not to call me that!"
This pink-haired girl… she really just couldn't like her!
["…We only finished writing this song today, and we were practicing right up until just now."
However, Tomori didn't seem very good at speaking on stage.
"Tomori."
"Tomori, that's not quite right…"
Just as she began speaking, Anon and Taki couldn't help but interrupt her.
"…Ano-chan and I are in the same class."
"That's not what you're supposed to introduce."
"…Ano-chan gets lost easily."
"I'm Anon! I don't get lost that easily, and I can read maps!"
After saying that, Anon let out a sigh of relief, and faint laughter could be heard from the audience.
"…Taki has also been by my side. The nearest station to our homes is the same, and she often walks me to my front door."
"You don't need to say that!"
Taki's face instantly flushed bright red.]
It could only be said—Tomori really knew how to talk.
The girls in real life all looked at her with slightly subtle expressions.
"…Um, did I say something wrong?"
Seeing their reactions, Tomori asked a bit timidly.
"Not at all!"
Anon quickly waved her hands.
"It's just that, if Tomori isn't good at this kind of thing, you could prepare in advance."
"Or maybe just leave this sort of thing to someone else…"
"I have an idea!"
Kamijou Mutsuki suddenly spoke up from the side.
"No, you don't."
Anon replied almost instinctively.
"I think we can have Taki and Mutsumi teach Tomori how to speak. As long as she learns their essence, she'll definitely shine next time in a situation like this!"
"No, no, that would probably be even worse than this time…"
"…What do you mean by that?"
Anon's instinctive response made Taki's face darken.
"Mutsuki…"
Mutsumi, sitting in Kamijou Mutsuki's lap, also looked at him with a slightly resentful gaze.
They just spoke a bit more directly—was it really that exaggerated?
["…And Soyo is on bass. We've been together since our previous band."
"You've always valued our band."
"Thank you!"
Faced with Tomori's gaze, Soyo turned her head away with a complicated expression.
"What about you, Tomori?"
"…Mm."
After all that buildup, Tomori finally seemed to find her footing and turned forward.
"…Um… we're all children who've lost our way."
"We're always confused by what's right in front of us."
At that moment, the "cat" began playing at just the right time, and along with Tomori's words, the song's intro slowly began.]
Listening to Tomori's speech in the anime, the girls in real life also subconsciously focused.
Wasn't that actually said pretty well?
Could it be that Tomori had some kind of passive skill—she couldn't perform unless she was in a disadvantageous situation?
["Even though our feelings toward each other aren't always good."
Tomori continued speaking in the anime.
"We argue often and go through painful moments."
"Sometimes we hurt each other, sometimes we can't even say what we feel."
"But we are here now."
As her words fell, the camera gave close-ups of the other MyGO!!!!! girls.
"No matter what happens, I won't let go anymore!"
"I'll never let go of them for my whole life!"
The final line was almost shouted.
In return, the audience erupted into passionate cheers.
"迷いながら戸惑いながら歩く."
Mayoi nagara tomadoi nagara aruku.
"めいろの中で僕らは居合わせてた."
Meiro no naka de bokura wa iawaseteta.
Unlike Mayoiuta, Melody started almost at full climax, without any real intro.
Or rather, Tomori's earlier words were the intro.
In contrast, the stage below was filled with cheers and waving glow sticks.]
"MyGO is just too amazing!"
As emotions burst forth, the real-life audience was even more excited than the crowd shown in the anime.
The emotional buildup in this segment was simply too well done—especially Tomori's final shout, which released all the tension that had been building.
Some viewers were relatively restrained, only screaming like in the anime and startling their families.
Others couldn't hold it in at all—rolling around on the floor, muttering incoherent things, completely overwhelmed.
Their families were so alarmed they even pulled out their phones, wondering whether they should call a doctor… or a shrine maiden and priest instead.
