Title: Soyo: So I'm the only one who can't?
Voice actor, real-life prototype—none of that mattered. All she knew was that she had met the living Chihaya Anon.
"Ah, well..." Compared to Mana, Anon's feelings were a bit more complex. She never expected to be asked for an autograph by her own idol. Since Mygo started airing, her popularity had been constantly growing. Her fame was so high that it could only be compared to the Sumimi she had previously admired... Compared? Perhaps Chihaya Anon's popularity had already far surpassed her former idols... Ahem, calm down, can't get too arrogant!
"...Is it okay if I sign here?" Anon cleared her throat twice, suppressing the excited blush on her face.
"Yes, yes, but Anon-chan, can we take a picture together?"
"Of course, Mana-chan, can you sign an autograph for me too?"
"Eh? Anon-chan likes Sumimi? Mana is so happy!" Mana's mood at this moment was probably similar to Anon's before. After all, how would you feel if your favorite anime character jumped out of the anime and asked for your autograph? But speaking of which, it seemed that in the anime, Anon's character was a fan of Mana-chan, right?
Then, the remaining people watched as the two girls showered each other with affection, signed autographs for each other, and took pictures together. What a pair of mutual idols! Well, as long as they were happy.
Unlike her partner, Uika seemed to have no major emotional fluctuations. After all, while Mygo was objectively an excellent work, most of the reason she watched it was because of Teacher Sakiko. She hadn't expected when she changed jobs that Mygo would be a work under his company. No wonder she thought Houbun Animation sounded familiar back then. However, why isn't Sakiko-chan here yet? Not seeing Sakiko, Uika subconsciously focused her gaze on Tomori, her eyes deep. In the anime, this was the girl with the deepest relationship with Sakiko.
Facing Uika's gaze, Tomori seemed a bit uncomfortable. Rikki, seeing this, quickly shielded her.
What are you looking at?
What's wrong with me looking at you?
Luckily, Uika didn't reply like that, otherwise the two would definitely have started a fight. The blonde girl seemed to realize her stare was a bit impolite and averted her gaze.
"Sorry, I'm late." At this moment, Teacher Sakiko finally arrived late. Well, at least she wasn't drenched in rain this time.
"Saki-chan! x2" Seeing her, two girls couldn't help but call out her name at the same time. One was the newcomer Uika, and the other was naturally Soyo.
Uika had watched the anime and knew about Teacher Soyo's obsession with her childhood friend. On the contrary, it was Soyo who looked at Uika with surprise and vigilance.
"Uika?" Teacher Sakiko treated Soyo with her usual indifference. After all, just seeing her would make her remember the feeling of having her shoes and stockings taken off. As for Uika, she only had the surprise and joy of reuniting with an old friend. "Why are you here? Your band..." Uika was doing so well in Sumimi, why would she be here? Don't tell me Sumimi disbanded too?
Mana: ?
"I was poached by the boss," looking at the girl she had been longing for, Uika suppressed her excitement. "I didn't expect you to be working here too, Sakiko. What a coincidence!"
"Yeah, what a coincidence..." Is it really a coincidence? Teacher Sakiko glanced at a certain young man without leaving a trace and continued to chat with her old friend. "It's been over a year since we last saw each other, right? I'm really happy to see you."
"Me too..."
"Every time I saw your messages, it gave me courage. I still remember what you sent me when I debuted."
"You still remember that?" The two long-lost friends chatted as if no one else was around.
Mana, who had just finished getting an autograph and photo from Anon, turned around to find her home had been stolen. Who is this person? Why does Uika look happier with her than with me? Looking at the smile on Uika's face, Miss Donut couldn't help but feel a little sour. Kamijou Mutsumi was one thing, his skills were too good. But what's with this blue-haired girl?
And compared to Miss Mana, another girl's expression was even uglier. She had already gotten used to Teacher Sakiko's rejection, if not for the contrast with Uika. Why is she so cold only to me? Kamijou Mutsumi is fine, little Mutsumi is fine, Tomori is fine, this blonde girl named Uika is fine... Why is it only not okay for me?! What did I do wrong to make Sakiko treat me like this?
Mutsumi Tōgō saw Soyo's expression and wanted to comfort her, but was directly ignored by the emotional Soyo. However, Kamijou Mutsumi didn't indulge her, directly hitting her on the head with Mutsumi Tōgō's cucumber.
"What are you doing?" Soyo, who was already in a bad mood, instantly saw red.
"I think this thing suits you. Want to try it?" Looking at the green cucumber in his hand, Soyo felt an inexplicable sense of mockery.
"No!" She resisted the urge to hit him and said in a low voice.
He didn't care, directly breaking the cucumber in half and sharing it with Mutsumi Tōgō.
"Uika, let's talk later." Teacher Sakiko also noticed that she had been talking with her friend for a bit too long. "Let's finish work first."
"Sorry," Uika clearly realized this too, but she always had a hard time controlling herself when it came to Teacher Sakiko. "It's been a long time since I saw Sakiko, I got a little excited..."
Afterwards, it was naturally the voice-acting session. There wasn't much to say, except that Anon, who was originally having a lot of fun, couldn't have fun anymore after reading her script.
[Actually, I studied abroad before.]
[My life is always about running away.]
[But I'm done now.]
No matter how the lines were shuffled or how many distractions were added, some things couldn't be changed. Coupled with the broken English mixed in with the Japanese that gave her PTSD, even if Anon couldn't guess the plot of the anime, she could tell that her identity as a "London deserter" could no longer be hidden.
She had been so happy these past few days, thinking she was about to forget, but the past had caught up with her again. Anon knew that unlike the light-hearted hints before, after this anime aired, everything would be irreversible. She had been proud of the popularity the anime brought her, but only now did she realize that all gifts from fate have a price tag secretly attached. And now, it was time for Chihaya Anon to pay the price!
"Kamijou," the girl, holding the script, found him. "Let's talk alone!"
