Although Mutsumi really was good at talking, back then she really had been a bit too harsh toward Mutsumi after all.
Her personality at the time had been far too twisted—sensitive, prideful, and like a powder keg that exploded at the slightest spark…
The more maid Sakiko thought about it, the guiltier she became.
Especially now, when she herself still had an unclear relationship with Mutsumi's fiancé.
Forget it.
At worst, this maid would help push things along for Mutsumi later.
Things were already like this anyway, so what else could happen?
Besides, according to her observations, Mutsumi's stamina really had been getting worse lately.
Leaving aside maid Sakiko's wild thoughts, Mutsumi herself didn't really feel much about it, and instead felt somewhat conflicted.
Was her way of speaking really that easy to make people angry with?
Meanwhile, after watching this part, the girls around them couldn't help but recall the earlier plot of the anime.
What kind of life had Mutsumi been living?
Caught in the middle and pleasing neither side, taking grief from both ends.
Just after having the cucumber rejected by Soyo, she then got called condescending by Sakiko.
One heart wounded from both sides; no matter how warm it was, it would still grow cold～
["Five matcha parfaits."
"Shiina Taki, sit down too."
"…Hold on a second!""
And as the OP ended, the anime's camera finally returned to MyGO!!!!!.
It was a scene of the girls holding a celebration party together at RiNG after their Live.
Taki, who was working part-time, also sat down after receiving permission from Matsugi Ririko.
Meanwhile, Anon pressed down on the cat's head and snapped several photos of the parfait before the cat could start eating it.
"Then, Tomorin, say a few words."
After everything was ready, Anon suggested that Tomori, as the vocalist, give a speech.
"Um, I…"
"The Live felt like it passed in an instant."
"But the emotions and brilliance at that moment truly existed."
"As long as countless moments are gathered together, I think they can become a lifetime!"
When she wasn't nervous, Tomori actually seemed pretty good at talking.]
"Countless moments come together to form a lifetime…"
The girls in reality let out the same sigh of admiration as Anon in the anime.
"That really does sound like something Tomori would say…"
Even Soyo, whose heart was already occupied by someone, couldn't help but soften her gaze at this moment.
"Speaking of which, I remember Kamijou saying something similar before…"
As if suddenly recalling something, Anon said this aloud.
"And back then, it was also because of Mutsumi that I…"
Anon's words seemed to awaken Tomori's memories, causing her to unconsciously look toward Kamijou Mutsumi.
The airheaded girl's eyes were overflowing with gentleness, a rare sight.
Seeing this, Soyo naturally followed Tomori's lead and looked over as well.
"…"
Taki's mood suddenly became a lot less pleasant, and she shot Anon a rather irritated look.
Why did you have to bring that up for no reason?
In truth, Anon herself was also starting to regret it.
She suddenly realized that the band's greatest hidden danger wasn't outside at all—it was their manager.
Just look at Soyo. Ever since getting infected by Kamijou Mutsumi, even carrying instruments…
No, she meant even practice wasn't as serious as before!
And Tomori too. Even Taki had been acting a little strange lately.
Could it be that in this entire band, only she and the cat had no feelings toward this scumbag?
How were they supposed to make the band work while surrounded by people obsessed with romance?
Anon: That scumbag ruined my band dream!
Faced with Anon's death stare, Kamijou Mutsumi simply returned an innocent look, which only made the girl puff up her cheeks even more.
[In the anime, after finishing the celebration party, the girls also headed home separately.
However, Soyo, Taki, and Tomori boarded the same train.
At this time, Anon had already uploaded the parfait photos she had just taken online.
You could only say, normies really do be like that.
Still, seeing Tomori and Soyo leaning against each other, Taki, who sat nearby, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Let's go, Tomori."
When the train arrived at the station, she immediately stood up, preparing to take Tomori away.
"Taki,"
However, Soyo grabbed Tomori's hand before she could, smiling as she spoke.
"I'll walk Tomori home today."
"Eh?"
Taki clearly hadn't expected the plot to develop this way.
"See you later."
Tomori hurriedly said this to Taki.
"Wait…"
Taki instinctively wanted to say something, but by the time she reacted, Soyo had already taken Tomori off the train.
"Hah?"]
No, seriously, they were bullying her again, weren't they?
Taki's current mood was pretty much the same as in the anime.
Seriously, now even Soyo wanted to steal Tomori from her too?
Why could literally anyone bully her a little?
At this rate, Taki felt like she really was going to end up sitting at the donut lady's table!
[In the anime, Soyo cutting Taki off and taking Tomori away was naturally not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
After bringing her to the adult bridge, the girl whose mask had already shattered finally spoke the thoughts in her heart.
"…Sakiko always has your name on her lips."
"…Honestly, I could never accept your lyrics."
"…Sakiko said those lyrics were your cries."
"I think… they were my cries too."
"It took me a long time to realize that. The same when Sakiko called me selfish."
"…I've always desperately tried to make the people around me accept me, but if I deliberately act gentle, doesn't that count as hypocrisy?"
"…So, forming a band with you also means facing those problems directly."
"It feels pretty painful."
"I…"
Hearing Soyo suddenly say so much, Tomori didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Goodbye."
Soyo didn't seem to have any intention of hearing Tomori's answer. After speaking, she immediately turned to leave.
"Soyo…"
Tomori subconsciously called out to her.
Soyo's steps paused. She fell silent for a moment, then turned around and said those words.
"I might never forget CRYCHIC for the rest of my life."
Tomori was briefly stunned upon hearing that, then replied:
"Yeah. Me too."]
Soyo, you really still can't forget CRYCHIC after all!
What else could anyone say?
Sakiko-sensei really was a woman burdened with countless sins!
A slightly awkward expression appeared on maid Sakiko's face.
Who would've thought that even at the very last episode, CRYCHIC was still chasing after her.
"Didn't expect that,"
Anon looked toward Soyo beside her, a teasing expression appearing on her face.
"So Soyorin actually thinks like this, huh?"
"Don't worry, no matter what your personality is like, you're still a member of our band~"
"…Should I be thanking you then?"
Soyo narrowed her eyes. Anon's words really did move her somewhat, but her attitude also inexplicably irritated her.
"Speaking of which, what does Mutsuki-kun think?"
Soyo suddenly looked somewhat nervously toward Kamijou Mutsuki beside her.
