Good, full of spirit!
Looking at the beautiful girl in the mirror wearing the Haneoka Girls' School uniform, brimming with youthful and lively energy, Anon couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
After finishing breakfast and saying goodbye to her mother, she headed to Haneoka for school.
Although she was already a big star, she was still a student.
At the same time, even though she hadn't stayed at Kamijou Mutsuki's house yesterday, she still had a private car picking her up for school.
Mainly because with MyGO!!!!! having completely exploded in popularity, as a well-known anime character, if she walked on the streets it would easily cause a disturbance.
Therefore, Kamijou Mutsuki chose to send a car to take them to and from school.
At the same time, if they went out now, they also had to be properly disguised.
What do you call a big star, huh? (tactical lean-back)
Anon felt that her self-awareness was very accurate.
However, even big stars have their own troubles.
Although MyGO!!!!!'s anime had brought her popularity and attention, with the broadcast of episode five, it had also dug up all of her old history.
Although Tomori and the others didn't care about her past, what about the classmates at Haneoka?
Although from her own feeling, everyone was kind and good kids, without truly experiencing it, who could say for sure?
So when going to school, Anon still felt somewhat nervous.
But what happened yesterday had given her courage. The current Chihaya Anon was already flawless—nothing could shake her anymore!
However, just as she got out of the car, the girl's legs went slightly weak.
Because she saw two people who shouldn't have appeared here.
One was a brown-haired girl wearing the Tsukinomori Girls' Academy uniform, and the other was an orange-haired girl.
They were her former classmates, and two people who had left an extremely deep impression on her.
That's right—those two who had completely shattered her mentality in the anime.
Wait, why are you here?
She had already experienced it once in the anime—did she have to go through it again in real life?
So what is this, some kind of inevitable worldline convergence?!
And since they had even chased her all the way here, they must have already watched the anime and known about her dark history.
So… should she just ask for leave?
She could say that yesterday she accidentally ate cat food, and today she had a stomachache because of it?
But in the end, Anon still gave up that tempting idea.
The her who ran away was already dead!
The current her was a brand-new Chihaya Anon.
Taking a deep breath, the girl walked over.
"Chihaya!"
"It's Chihaya!"
As expected, these two were here waiting for her.
"Long time no see!"
"I went to study abroad in the UK, but I couldn't handle it and ran back."
Walking up to her two former classmates, before they could even speak, Anon directly began to self-criticize.
"I'm studying at Haneoka now. I really am useless—I'm not as outstanding as I made myself look at all!"
"Sorry for disappointing you."
As long as she finished criticizing herself first, no one else could criticize her!
This was Chihaya Anon's invincible battle strategy.
However, after hearing her words, the two girls exchanged somewhat surprised glances, then couldn't help but laugh.
"Chihaya's reaction…"
"She's like a puffed-up kitten."
"She's way too cute!"
"Chihaya."
After their sigh of admiration, their expressions gradually turned serious.
"You might have misunderstood."
"Or rather, do you think we deliberately ran all the way here just to laugh at you?"
The brown-haired girl from Tsukinomori Girls' Academy said the same.
"Could it be that in Anon's eyes, we're that terrible?"
"N-No, I didn't mean that…"
Anon replied nervously. At this moment, she also realized that things were not the same as she had imagined.
"First of all, we need to apologize to Chihaya."
Seeing Anon's cute reaction, the orange-haired girl couldn't help but chuckle softly before speaking with a serious expression.
"Apologize?"
Anon widened her eyes.
Wait, what do you have to apologize for?
Did you steal my man or go around spreading my dark history?
No, wait—where would she even get a man from?
A certain scummy person's figure flashed through the girl's mind.
"It's about the anime…"
The girl from Tsukinomori scratched her cheek a little awkwardly.
"We made things awkward for you, didn't we?"
It could only be said that even when they watched it, they felt embarrassed on behalf of the girl in front of them.
"Sorry. At the time, we didn't know about your situation."
"That was just the plot of the anime, and you weren't wrong either…"
"And please don't keep brooding over that incident!"the orange-haired girl said.
"Eh? What…"
Anon had actually already guessed the meaning behind their words, but she didn't quite dare to believe it.
"Even if you ran away halfway and didn't continue studying in the UK,"
"You're still that student council president everyone admires,"
The other girl's expression was gentle as well.
"The Chihaya Anon that everyone loves!"
"Chihaya…-san?"
The orange-haired girl's tone carried a slight note of surprise.
Because as she listened to their words, this Miss Anon in front of them had, at some point, reddened her eyes.
"I just… didn't expect this…"
Anon hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She had clearly prepared herself, so why was she reacting so pathetically?
It turned out that her armor could resist malice, but it could not block out warmth.
"So Chihaya-san has just been making things hard for herself."
One of the girls gently patted Anon's head.
"To us back then, you were as dazzling as the sun."
"Chihaya-san should be a little more confident!"
After comforting Anon a bit longer, their goal achieved, the two girls prepared to leave.
After all, they also had to go to class.
But before that—
"By the way, although I'm also on the Anon x Tomori side, it still feels a bit strange between girls."
As the orange-haired girl said this, recalling a certain boy who had asked them for this favor, she looked at the girl before her with an ambiguous smile.
"Even if it's a bit strange, he's a great boy. Don't ignore the person who's truly important~"
"Huh?"
The girl's sudden words left Anon unable to process them for a moment.
"Chihaya, we're heading off first, or we'll be late."
"I still need to go see Soyo and Mutsumi-chan—I bought cucumbers today."
The other girl in the Tsukinomori Girls' Academy uniform said so.
"Tsukinomori really is nice…"
Only after their figures completely disappeared did Anon remain somewhat dazed.
It was only now that the girl finally realized that the only person who looked down on her for running away from the UK was one person.
That person's name was Chihaya Anon.
This world was far gentler than she had imagined—or rather, she was far luckier than she had thought!
Only at this moment did a certain knot in her heart finally completely unravel.
The reborn Anon had finally become her complete form.
Then Anon arrived at her classroom, wanting to announce her rebirth. However—
"She's here!"
"Eh?"
The moment Anon stepped through the door, she was surrounded by her beloved classmates.
"Um, what are you all…"
Looking at the group of girls around her with unfriendly expressions, Miss Anon couldn't help but swallow.
"Anon, you made a move on Tomori, didn't you?"
However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
"Tomori belongs to everyone!"
Another girl declared.
"You actually made a move on Tomori—that's so enviable… no, that's way too much!"
"I'm on the Tomori x Taki side."
"Because of you, our Tomori x Taki faction can only face destruction."
"Wait, didn't you just say Tomori belongs to everyone?"
"Actually, I like Mutsumi-chan the most. Little Cucumber is way too cute!"
"Traitor."
"Ahem, stop arguing. In short, it's all Anon's fault!"
"Chihaya Anon's crimes are unforgivable!"
Everyone reached a consensus.
"Wait, what are you trying to do?"
Looking at the scene before her, Anon revealed a "terrified" expression.
"Hehehe, Anon-chan, obediently accept your judgment!"
The trio known as the Traffic Light Group, Anon's good friends, laughed as they closed in.
"Don't come any closer!"
Seeing herself about to be drowned by the surrounding girls, Anon let out her final wail.
"Tomori, save me!"
"Anon?"
Tomori, who was sitting at her seat, seemed to sense something and slightly raised her head.
Why were so many people gathered over there?
However, she didn't notice anything wrong.
She must have misheard.
Tomori lowered her head and continued fiddling with the penguin stickers her classmates had given her.
