What the heck did the cat just stuff into her mouth?!
After reacting to the situation, feeling the subtle taste of the candy in her mouth, Taki's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
You have to know—that thing had been snatched back by the cat from Kamijou Mutsuki's mouth.
Wouldn't that mean she and Kamijou Mutsuki had indirectly…
The pure girl's face instantly flushed bright red.
As for Raana?
Who would care about a cat!
Anyway, Taki felt completely unwell right now.
She hurriedly found a trash can and spat out the candy in her mouth. It had to be said—the girls of BanG Dream! had high standards of quality.
"Taki?"
Seeing Taki's actions, the cat felt both wronged and confused.
Why did Taki spit out the candy she shared?
Even if you don't want to eat it, don't waste it!
"Hey, you…"
Looking at the cat's blank expression, Taki couldn't bring herself to scold her, and could only walk up to Kamijou Mutsuki.
After all, what just happened was basically equivalent to her and him…
The moment she thought of that, Taki felt utterly miserable.
After all, Kamijou Mutsuki's status in the girl's heart was already comparable to Tomori's.
Mm, in a negative sense!
"Don't worry, Taki."
However, before Taki could speak, Kamijou Mutsuki said with a serious expression,
"I'll take responsibility!"
Who wants you to take responsibility?!
What are you even taking responsibility for?!
Kamijou Mutsuki's words stuffed back everything Taki had yet to say, nearly making her choke on her breath.
"I mean,"
Watching the interaction between the three, Anon finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"What kind of weird play are you three doing in front of so many people?"
One piece of candy shared among three people—has our band's financial situation become this dire?
She couldn't understand it, but she was deeply shocked.
What kind of bizarre play is this?!
As for Tomori at the side, she wore an expression as if she had just learned something new.
"Who's with him—"
Hearing Anon's words, Taki's temperature instantly spiked again.
She seemed to want to retort something, yet found herself at a loss for words.
"Stop teaching the stray cat bad things!"
In the end, she could only glare at Kamijou Mutsuki and coldly leave behind that sentence.
"Do you really not need me to—"
"Shut up!"
It was only indirect anyway, not actually that kind of thing. She'd just treat it as accidentally eating something dirty.
Watching Taki return to her seat, although the candy had been snatched back, Kamijou Mutsuki still ordered a matcha parfait for the cat.
After receiving the power of the parfait, the cat—who had been slightly depressed—instantly became happy again.
Mutsuki, good!
"So,"
Kamijou Mutsuki casually found a seat and sat down beside the girls.
"What were you all gathering to talk about?"
"It's about our band's name,"
Seeing the boy sit down beside her, Anon's cheeks flushed slightly as she explained.
"After all, our band's been formed for a while now. It's kind of strange not even having a name, right?"
"Unknown?"
"Hey!"
Why is everyone using that joke from the anime to tease her?!
And is that name really that bad?
She honestly thought it wasn't bad at all.
"It's this."
At this moment, Tomori handed over an open notebook. On the unfolded page, there was only a single large word written.
"[MyGO!!!!!]?"
It seemed that certain fates had returned to where they were meant to be—the only difference being that there was one extra punctuation mark.
As for the reason…
"Mutsuki is also a member of our band!"
Tomori, as if seeing through Kamijou Mutsuki's thoughts, declared this firmly.
Who says a manager doesn't count as being in the band?
Taki, who had already been in a bad mood, felt even worse upon seeing Tomori's attitude.
"So really, what's so good about that guy that Tomori cares about him so much?"
"I think the name from the anime really suits us," Anon added from the side.
"Because… everyone is lost."
Tomori softly spoke the line from the anime.
"But even if we're lost, we still have to move forward."
"This is everyone's… maigo (MyGO) band!"
"I'll get lost together with Tomori too!"
Taki hurriedly stepped forward to declare her loyalty.
…Wait, don't you even have your own lines?
Watching Taki say her line right in front of her, Anon felt a subtle and complicated emotion rise in her chest.
In a sense, wasn't this also a kind of—cough, cough!
"Mm, together with Taki!"
Tomori said so, yet her eyes couldn't help drifting toward Kamijou Mutsuki.
If they were lost girls, then he was their lighthouse—the moon of the band. That was also why the symbol representing him was a period.
As long as he was there, they would never truly lose their way.
Just like before, when he gave her the courage to rejoin the band.
As for Taki, she was currently immersed in the joy of being acknowledged by Tomori.
The anime was fake after all. In reality, Tomori obviously cared about her more!
"Besides that, Taki, you should have something else to tell us, right?"
Seeing Taki completely immersed in her own world, Soyo spoke up.
"What thing?"
Anon looked confused.
"About the live."
Tomori answered weakly.
Anon: ?
How does even Tomori know, but not me?
Are we doing band 80 bullying or what?
Kamijou Mutsuki: Actually, I don't know either.
"Soyo's right. We've formed the band for quite a while. It's about time we considered doing a live, isn't it?"
Taki's emotions had returned to normal by now.
"If we really want to take this band seriously, we can't keep playing house forever."
As she said that, she suddenly turned to look at Anon.
"Chihaya, you're not still thinking about running away, are you?"
"O-Of course not!"
Being questioned, Anon immediately retorted.
"Don't judge me by the anime version of me. The current me is super strong!"
Anon: I have shed my cowardice and ascended into a dragon!
Ahem. In short, Anon's guitar skills were now far stronger than her counterpart at the same point in the anime.
After all, she had experienced one of Kamijou Mutsuki's magical little props. Although she had forgotten most of the memories, the feeling remained.
Her current state was like a big shot reincarnating and starting over—the leveling speed was naturally fast.
She still wasn't outstanding, but at least she wouldn't drag the band down.
Taki: Can you win?
Anon: I will win!
"Then… what does Tomori think?"
When asking for Tomori's opinion, Taki's tone softened noticeably.
"Tch~"
Seeing the stark difference in attitude, Anon clicked her tongue.
The unsightly state of a Tomori fan!
"I… I think we should listen to Mutsuki's opinion."
Tomori voiced her thought.
Taki: ?
Anon: Heh!
Looking at the frozen expression on Taki's face, Anon almost burst out laughing.
I already told you—Tomori's favorite person is Kamijou Mutsuki. And you keep staring at me.
