In the end, it was Sakiko-sensei who saved Kamijou Mutsuki's life.
Just as Miss Anon's smile on her face became increasingly "kind," the car to pick up Sakiko happened to arrive at that moment.
As the host, Kamijou Mutsuki naturally went down to greet her, using the opportunity to narrowly escape disaster.
Meanwhile, after arriving at her destination, Miss Sakiko's mood grew incredibly complicated.
After all, the Togawa family was no worse than the Kamijou family. She had once been a young lady herself, so she wasn't surprised by a standalone villa in Tokyo.
But the problem was…
This damn house… is mine!
When did it fall into Kamijou Mutsuki's hands?
"How is it?"
Looking at Sakiko-sensei beside him, Kamijou Mutsuki smiled and said,
"Isn't my house pretty big?"
This damn house is my house!
Even though she had already experienced the fall from heaven to hell, seeing her former home truly change hands naturally stirred some emotions inside her.
But soon, the girl's gaze grew dim.
No… that's not right. She was no longer the young lady of the Togawa family she once had been.
At the same time, the resentment in the girl's heart toward Kamijou Mutsuki grew even stronger.
This guy didn't just take her Lamp Treasure, but now he wants to take her house too?
No. She had given all of this up with her own hands.
"Though, my house is kinda similar to Sakiko's old house~"
However, Sakiko didn't stay emo for long before her blood pressure spiked again.
"Do you want to come live here?"
"No need!"
The girl gritted her teeth and "smiled," refusing Kamijou Mutsuki's invitation.
Yet, when she walked into this familiar villa together with Kamijou Mutsuki, her heart was still heavy with mixed emotions.
She had never imagined that one day she would step inside here as a guest.
This place no longer belonged to her—just like the Tomori, just like CRYCHIC, just like… everything she had once owned.
And with Sakiko-sensei's arrival, the atmosphere in the living room grew a bit gloomy.
It wasn't that anyone deliberately rejected her, but even Kamijou Mutsuki had at least held music parties with them. Sakiko, however, was not only unrelated to the new band but also the culprit behind the old band's disbandment. Naturally, they felt distant.
Sakiko, though, seemed oblivious to the atmosphere. She smiled and greeted everyone with the manners of a young lady, but clenched her fists quietly.
She could never go back—this was her own choice!
Soyo saw this and her eyes sparkled slightly.
It was her time to act!
"Saki…"
"Sakiko-chan, why are you only coming now?"
However, just as she was about to deliver her clipped tone, a certain pink-haired girl stood up and took Sakiko-sensei's hand.
"Everyone's been waiting for you. Come, come, sit here…"
"Thank you."
Sakiko clearly felt a strong sense of favor toward Saint Anon, who had come out to help her.
"..."
Soyo, having been preempted, lost her spotlight.
At this moment, her mood was like that of a certain King of Pots who lost the Hokage position due to hesitation—full of regret.
At the same time, she grew wary of that pink-haired girl.
Kamijou Mutsuki's evaluation of her had been right—this woman really was dangerous!
Facing Soyo's deadly stare, Anon's smile stiffened slightly at the corners of her mouth.
Soyo's eyes… are terrifying…
Thanks to Anon's intervention, the atmosphere eased again.
After that, it was actually Sakiko whose attitude grew somewhat cold.
She feared that if she reconciled with the Lamp girls, her once-weak self would revive again.
Besides, she had been the one to sever ties unilaterally—she had no right to return!
Nearby, Raana was eating a special matcha parfait, her lips pursed into a cute, cat-like curve.
The little cat was watching with great amusement; she found this group of girls very interesting.
And so, amid this subtle atmosphere, the second episode of MyGO!!!!! officially began airing.
The girls also temporarily cleared their minds of distractions, focusing their attention on the television screen in front of them.
Besides Kamijou Mutsuki and the others, many others were sitting in front of their TVs, waiting for the broadcast of MyGO!!!!!.
Even though only one episode had aired, this special band anime had already gained quite a few fans.
As the animation began, it opened with the scene at the end of the first episode.
Anon and Taki argued, ultimately receiving the sharp retort, "Are you crazy?"
Then, according to Anon's memory, a certain useless guy appeared and started crowding her face.
What a terrible memory…
Miss Anon's expression inevitably changed.
However, what she didn't expect was that the next person to talk to her wasn't Kamijou Mutsuki, but…
"Are you okay? Did something happen?"
In the animation, Anon turned her head and saw the brown-haired young lady wearing a Tsukinomori uniform.
The flow of fate… had changed!
Wait… shouldn't it have been Kamijou Mutsuki?
Why is it Soyo?!
The real-world Anon widened her eyes.
"Nothing!"
In the animation, Anon was still mentally flustered from what had just happened, so after replying to Soyo, she immediately ran off.
After that, the animation gave Lamp a shot and then began the opening song.
"Even if this rain stops,"
"I'll keep walking without forgetting."
"To today's me who lifted my face at the very first drop."
Unlike the smooth, slightly melancholic ED and Haruhikage, the MyGO!!!!! OP's melody was uplifting from the very start, like the sun breaking through clouds after the rain, shining over the earth.
The visuals were also different from the ED listed in the producer's broadcast chart. The OP showed the MyGO band girls playing freely in a parking lot after the rain.
Each of them wore the future MyGO band uniform, faces beaming with happiness.
It was as if all obstacles had been crossed, all sorrow washed away.
Some analysts from Kamijou Mutsuki's previous life suggested that MyGO's OP was the song Tomori wrote for the entire MyGO band after going through her own transformation, celebrating the band's true formation.
Whether Tomori could feel that same emotion at this moment was unknown.
Most likely, she herself wasn't entirely sure.
All she knew was that she really liked this song.
And…
Tomori watched the animation, seeing herself surrounded by the girls at the center, singing freely under the sky, and a trace of admiration flickered in her eyes.
In the OP, she truly looked dazzling.
Had the her up there truly become human?
Anon, meanwhile, temporarily set aside her earlier confusion, watching the OP animation on the screen, her smile barely restrained even more than Ak.
So this is what her future band looks like in full form?
Even the guitarist looked dazzling~
At the same time, she thought the band uniforms in the OP were really beautiful, giving off a very special feeling.
She made up her mind—this would be the uniform for their band!
