"Soyo…"
Mrs. Nagasaki also turned to look at her daughter, her expression extremely complicated.
Naturally, she wanted her daughter to get along well with her friends—but she absolutely didn't want Soyo to be this humble.
Weren't the girls in MyGO!!!!! pretty good?
And there was also that Mutsumi who was said to get along very well with Soyo.
Soyo wasn't lacking in friends, so did it really have to be Sakiko?
Mrs. Nagasaki found it hard to understand.
"Saki, you…"
On the other side, Mutsumi couldn't help but look toward maid Sakiko.
You really muted Soyo?
Although her current relationship with Soyo was somewhat delicate, she still felt that being treated like this by Sakiko was a bit pitiful.
"…It does seem like something like that happened."
Since the anime hadn't shown this part, Sakiko herself hadn't remembered it.
Back when she left the band, unable to endure Soyo's bombardment of messages, she had ended up muting her.
But now, watching in the anime how Soyo had defended her, maid Sakiko couldn't help but feel that perhaps she had been too harsh on Soyo.
So, under the gazes of the two beside her, Sakiko took out her phone and removed Soyo from mute.
Hopefully she wouldn't go back to bombarding her with messages like before!
Sakiko let out a soft sigh as she thought this.
[After blackening, Soyo no longer stayed shut at home maintaining her "perfect image," and finally went to school at Tsukinomori.
However, although she appeared to have returned to normal, when she walked past Mutsumi, she didn't even spare her a glance, continuing to chat and laugh with the girls beside her.
Mutsumi looked at the three standing side by side, her expression appearing extremely aggrieved.
Seeing that Soyo had no intention of stopping, Mutsumi could only follow after her herself.]
Wait, so you got wronged by Sakiko and now you come bully our little cucumber instead?!
Wuwuwu, our Mutsumi!
Seeing this scene, some of the girls at Tsukinomori who liked Mutsumi couldn't help but feel indignant.
["I was really surprised before,"
The scene shifted—Soyo was sitting on a bench at school, while Mutsumi stood beside her.
"After all, Saki-chan suddenly came to watch the live."
"You brought her, didn't you?"
Mutsumi: "…"
"Since Saki-chan came along as well,"
Soyo wasn't surprised by Mutsumi's silence. While playing with her fingers, she said with a smile,
"That means she has a positive attitude toward our situation, right?"
"That's not the case."
This time, Mutsumi replied quite promptly.
"Mutsumi-chan, you really don't hold back!"
It could only be said that Mutsumi really knew how to speak—she left Soyo speechless.
"You always do things I don't want you to do."
Already blackened, Soyo's emotional control had dropped significantly, and she couldn't help voicing the true thoughts buried in her heart.
"And the things I ask you to do, you never do."
At this point, it had already become a simple emotional outburst from the girl.
"Ah…"
Mutsumi also seemed somewhat surprised by Soyo's words.
"I want you to help me!"
Soyo stood up and looked at Mutsumi seriously.
"You know where Saki-chan lives, right?"]
Wait, she's doxxing her again?
Even maid Sakiko, at this point, felt a bit speechless at Soyo's persistence.
But as for being doxxed by Soyo—she was already more or less used to it.
["Please!"
Soyo pleaded with Mutsumi, but Mutsumi still remained silent like a doll.
"Back then, and this time too—it's all your fault!"
Seeing this, Soyo finally couldn't hold it in any longer, letting the malice in her heart pour out toward her friend in front of her.
"Ah…"
The anime gave a close-up of the lower half of Mutsumi's face, and this segment came to an end.]
"..."
Watching the scene in the anime, and recalling how she had previously said—both in the anime and in real life—that she had never blamed Mutsumi, Soyo only felt as if a boomerang had struck her hard in the face.
Especially since she also remembered that, in real life, she seemed to have said similarly hurtful things to Mutsumi.
Soyo couldn't help but recall the song Mutsumi had sung earlier—one that she was still somewhat hung up on—and felt a vague sense of guilt.
Could it be… that she really had gone too far?
And while Soyo's thoughts were in chaos, Mrs. Nagasaki, standing nearby, didn't even know what to say to her daughter anymore.
That Sakiko treated her so coldly, yet she still rushed forward to press her warm face against a cold shoulder.
Mutsumi might not satisfy Soyo in some aspects, but anyone could see her goodwill and kindness toward Soyo—yet Soyo treated her so harshly.
Could it be that her daughter was a masochist?
Mrs. Nagasaki couldn't help but have such a thought.
"…Maybe I should just mute her again?"
Inside Kamijou Mutsuki's large house, this time it was maid Sakiko who felt sorry for Mutsumi.
Moreover, just moments ago Mutsumi had been speaking up for Soyo, only to get stabbed in the back by anime-Soyo in return.
Seeing this, Kamijou Mutsuki timely wrapped his arm around his fiancée—he had to admit, holding the little cucumber really was comfortable.
Mutsumi indeed seemed a bit hurt by Soyo's words in the anime, and couldn't help seeking comfort from Kamijou Mutsuki.
And the way she sought comfort was…
"Mmm~"
"Hey! You two—"
Seeing the two kissing right in front of her, maid Sakiko could no longer care about the anime. Her cheeks instantly flushed red as she tried to separate them.
If they were already this unrestrained in front of her now, would she be expected to push from behind in the future?
She might be a maid, but she hadn't signed up for that kind of service!
And for some reason, recently, Mutsumi seemed to be avoiding her less and less.
It was almost as if…
She was declaring her sovereignty?
Maid Sakiko shook her head, throwing this somewhat absurd thought out of her mind.
She, Sakiko Togawa, was pure and upright—was she the kind of person who would have those sorts of thoughts about her good friend's fiancé?
There was nothing between her and Kamijou Mutsuki anyway—so why would Mutsumi need to go that far?
[In the anime, after the camera moved away from Soyo and Mutsumi, it briefly gave some scenes to the other members of MyGO!!!!! before returning to Soyo and Mutsumi once again.
However, this time, besides them, there was also Sakiko.
It seemed that Soyo's words had taken effect.
The honest feelings that came after the girl's blackening had forced Mutsumi to arrange a meeting with Sakiko.
"Saki-chan,"
Looking at Sakiko's back, there was a faint excitement in Soyo's tone.
"Thank you for being willing to meet today!"]
Watching this scene, for some reason, all the viewers subconsciously focused their attention.
Because they had a premonition—Something big was about to happen!
