MyGO!! A Story Voiced by Me

"So maybe Ano-chan just isn't feeling it today?"

That sounded like a joke, and a lie was obviously not going to convince Taki.

After all, Anon's performance yesterday was on par with Raana's. Compared to today, she was like a completely different person.

Speaking of Raana, however, the Persian cat approached Kamijo Mutsumi directly and stuffed a piece of candy into his hand.

Without a second thought, he popped the candy into his mouth.

Tsk~ Matcha flavor. He frowned slightly.

"..."

Seeing him eat her candy, Raana fell silent.

You're eating my candy?

Anyone who knew her would understand that she wasn't trying to treat him to candy; she wanted him to feed it to her.

The noble cat would not stand for such injustice. She immediately reached out to snatch the candy back from his mouth.

In response, all he had to do was hold her head, and Raana could only flail her short arms in impotent rage.

Seeing him teasing the cat, Anon, who was standing to the side, couldn't take it anymore.

She was getting her scalp numbed by Taki's pressure and was counting on him to save her. And he was over there teasing a cat?

In a sense, he was the one who helped her form this band.

Her acceptance of Soyo and Taki, her choice to join this band full of relics from a former group—a large part of it was because of him.

Therefore, for her to be getting pressured by Taki while he was off teasing a cat... she instantly felt it was unfair.

Seeing how happy he looked was even more unbearable than being lectured by Taki.

"Don't keep picking on me. I'm already trying my best."

Seeing Taki's pressure shift back to her, Ano-chan chose to divert the disaster this time.

"Speaking of which, you were so late today, Kamijo... Aren't you being a little too carefree?"

As Anon said this, she suddenly felt a genuine pang of annoyance.

She was over here practicing hard and getting pressured by Taki, while he was out on a date with a high-class lady from Tsukinomori.

Remembering how the two of them were holding hands earlier, Anon felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"You're right, but I'm the manager. I don't need to practice, dear~"

That's just how managers are. All you girls need to do is practice with all your might. As the manager on a date with Precious Mutsumi, I have many more things to consider.

"You say you're the manager, but I haven't seen you do anything at all..."

Hearing him say this, Anon felt even more annoyed.

"Anon, do you really think my job is as easy as you imagine?"

In response, he suddenly put on a serious expression and asked this question back.

His serious attitude, in turn, made Anon a little less confident.

Could it be... that he has been secretly working hard in places she didn't know about?

"...My easy life is beyond your imagination."

"Can I hit you?"

Anon felt that she would never trust this guy again.

"No!"

Looking at his smiling face, Anon ground her teeth in frustration.

"We're all members of the same band. How come you're the only one who doesn't have to do anything?"

She gave up trying to find a reason and decided to just forcibly drag him down with her.

"You're going to train too!"

"I'm the manager, you know~"

"So what if you're the manager? Learning a bit more about instruments would be beneficial for your work."

"How about you learn the guitar? I'll teach you!"

The girl's face was filled with a faint excitement. The rain she has been drenched in, Kamijo Mutsumi cannot be spared from it.

Although her skill level wasn't great, teaching him the basics was no problem.

"That... Mutsumi doesn't need to!"

Faced with Anon's "malicious intent," before Kamijo Mutsumi could even speak, Mutsumi Wakaba rejected the offer for him.

After all, she knew it wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to learn or not. He had basically said goodbye to musical instruments for the rest of his life.

Besides, if he could perform at his original level, all of them combined wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow.

"Let's forget about the guitar. Instruments aren't suitable for me right now."

Faced with Anon stepping on this landmine, he seemed completely unfazed, still wearing a smile.

"And although I'm just the manager, I do know a thing or two about music."

"I can... sing a little."

"Sing... you?"

Anon looked at him with a skeptical expression. She remembered that he had said before that he couldn't sing.

So is he just being stubborn now?

Soyo, on the other hand, had no doubts. This guy's rendition of "Haruhikage" was in no way inferior to Tomori's.

Oh no, those bad memories are coming back!

"Really? Then why don't you sing for us, Mr. Manager?" Anon said, her tone dripping with sarcasm, certain of the outcome.

"Why not?"

At this, he raised an eyebrow, a strange smile playing on his lips.

Wait, you're actually going to do it?

But soon, the expression on Anon's face turned to excitement.

Since he wants to embarrass himself, she can't be blamed for it!

"There's a practice room right next door. Shall we go now?"

He had no objection to this, but Taki frowned.

"Chihaya, we still have to practice..."

Why are we suddenly going off to play?

"It's more efficient to balance work and rest," Anon said, having her reason ready. "Besides, the most important thing about being in a band is having fun. There's no need to be so strict on the very first day, right?"

Although her main goal was to see him make a fool of himself, she also wanted to escape practice.

She had only wanted to be a slacker, but Taki was acting as if they had a competition tomorrow.

That serious look on her face was scarier than any teacher at school.

Seeing that Tomori, Soyo, and the others shared the same sentiment, the isolated Taki could only agree.

"Speaking of which, I don't usually listen to boys' songs... Can you sing a Sumimi song, Kamijo?"

Perhaps because she felt she was about to collect some embarrassing history on him, Anon was incredibly excited.

She fiddled with the tablet for song selection as she asked.

"Does Ano-chan really want to hear me sing that badly?"

The girl was unaware that this was a certain person's final act of mercy.

"If you can't, you don't have to force yourself, you know~"

Miss Anon was clearly getting cocky and forgetting herself at this point.

"I happen to have an original song right here."

In this world, at least.

"Raana-chan, be my accompanist."

He had just successfully bribed the cat with a cup of matcha parfait.

With that, he handed the sheet music to her.

"?"

Looking at the paper with the three large characters for "Marriage Registration" written on it, a question mark appeared above Raana's head.

Clearly, for a cat, understanding this thing was a bit difficult.

"This is... What are you trying to do to the stray cat?"

Seeing Raana's lack of reaction, Taki leaned over to look and instantly saw red.

Good grief! You won't even spare a cat? Are you even human?

Raana: Meow meow meow?

"Sorry, wrong one."

Seeing this, Kamijo Mutsumi quickly swapped it for the correct sheet music.

He had too many of these things in his pocket; he had grabbed the wrong one by mistake.

With the real sheet music in hand, the genius cat finished reading it in no time and picked up her guitar. With everything ready, the smiling Kamijo Mutsumi took one last look at Anon, then shakily brought the microphone to his lips.

Seeing this, Miss Ano felt a strange, inexplicable chill.

And as Raana's intro began, he slowly opened his mouth.

"..."
