Chapter 35: Chapter 35
"I used to have excellent grades~" "The student council was mine to command~" "Thought getting a diploma abroad was like a vacation~"
It had to be said, Raana was truly a genius-level guitarist. After just a brief glance at the sheet music, the music she produced was nearly flawless.
Combined with the pleasant melody, even Taki had to admit that it was an excellent original song.
However, why did the lyrics sound so strange?
They were too plain and straightforward, not even resembling a proper song.
Could it be that Kamijo Mutsumi is only good at composing music, but not at writing lyrics?
Anon didn't know the answer to this question, nor did she want to. In any case, she was already starting to panic.
Although she couldn't tell much from these few short lines, she could already feel a wave of malice coming straight for her.
"Got the offer from my dream school~" "The Commonwealth beckoned to me~" "Happily sent myself off with a ticket in hand~"
This... this isn't right. Who's trying to ruin me?
Kamijo Mutsumi, it's you, isn't it?!
Although the amount of information revealed was still small, the sense of déjà vu was too strong. In any case, Ano-chan was already sweating profusely.
Just then, the melody of his singing grew more intense.
"I passed the IELTS~ but couldn't understand the classes~" "Actually, my name isn't Ann, but how do I tell you that~"
I get it, I get it! Please stop roasting me!
Compared to Tomori and the others, who still looked confused, Anon had completely understood what he was singing about.
At this point, she was already regretting her earlier actions. Why did she have to provoke him for no reason?
Is he someone a person of my level can afford to provoke?
"The words in England~ I couldn't recognize a few~" "Should've just gone to Hanasakigawa instead~"
Now it was Taki's turn to frown.
What's wrong with Hanasakigawa?
Are you looking down on Hanasakigawa?
"I contacted a travel agency~" "Booked the return flight~" "Dreamed of leaving Asia for Europe~" "But could only return home to start anew~"
Stop singing, stop singing! Please stop singing!
Anon's defenses were completely broken. You won't stop until you've aired out all my dirty laundry, will you?
"My dream was shattered in Great Britain~" "Washed ashore at Haneoka Academy~" "I began to settle down and reflect~"
But Anon's prayers were useless. Listening to her embarrassing past being mercilessly exposed, she was cringing so hard she could have carved out a live house with her toes.
Of course, besides embarrassment, there was also panic.
Wasn't the whole reason she came to Haneoka to avoid facing her past and running into her old classmates?
Why on earth did she have to provoke this guy?
Anon once again regretted her earlier actions.
To her relief, however, the other girls all looked confused by the lyrics and hadn't connected them to her.
Good, good. I'll just be a little submissive later. I just hope he'll leave me some face.
But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she met the thoughtful gaze of Tomori.
Although the lyrics seemed to come out of nowhere, her intuition told her that he was singing about a certain pink-haired girl.
The intuition of a denpa character like Tomori was just that unreasonable!
"..."
Faced with Tomori's gaze, Anon completely panicked.
Did she figure it out?
That can't be right. He didn't use any names!
"...Hooked up with all the students and teachers in the school~" "The little sister at the desk in front of me has a huge secret crush~" "Hit on the rich girl next door after class~"
Anon, who was already panicking from Tomori's stare, heard this "slander," and her face instantly darkened.
Hooking up and hitting on people? When did I ever do such things? He makes me sound like some kind of yuri pervert!
And Tomori, sitting next to her, looked thoughtful as she heard these lyrics. The girl at the desk in front of Ano-chan... isn't that me?
I have a secret crush on Anon?
The image of Kamijo Mutsumi and the words he had said before appeared in Tomori's mind, and she subconsciously scooted a little to the side.
It's better not to get too close. It wouldn't be good if Mutsumi misunderstood.
Are you serious with that scooting away?
Watching Tomori's movement, Anon faded into grayscale.
I'm really not a lesbian! He's slandering me!
He's slandering me!
"Blinded by vanity~" "Only thought about forming a band~"
He's still going, he's still going!
"I held hands with the gravity girl~" "But didn't expect to run into her dad~"
"Why do I find you so off-putting the moment you open your mouth~" "Even my English classmates were easier to talk to~"
How does he even know my thoughts so clearly? Is this guy a worm in my stomach?
But, those lyrics...
Anon subconsciously glanced at Taki, only to have the annoyed girl glare right back at her.
...Yeah, he's not wrong.
Miss Taki scratched her head, feeling inexplicably angry.
I feel like I'm being insulted. Is it just my imagination?
"Fantasized about being the lead guitarist and stealing the show~" "Turns out it's four masters protecting me, a little clown~"
If Taki's part was just a light drizzle, Kamijo was now forcibly pressing a bright red nose onto Anon's face.
Kamijo Mutsumi Chihaya Anon
"I formed MyGO~ but got ganged up on by 'heavy women'~" "First escaped the cage~ only to fall into a black hole~" "Mon-Wed-Fri Soyo is nostalgic~ Tue-Thur-Sat Rikki's mouth is foul~" "What kind of god-tier teammates are these~ I just want to leave Earth~"
Dude, are you really just going to name names like that?
Although she felt his lyrics made a lot of sense, Anon was now completely panicked.
Soyo didn't feel much; at least he didn't directly mention her obsession with reviving her old band.
Taki, on the other hand, her face was completely black. She glared at him, grinding her teeth.
So my mouth is foul, is it?
"Played in a band for two or three years~" "Only then did I realize we were rehearsing~" "Rehearsing to be lesbians~"
No, no, no, that's not true at all!
All the girls blushed, denying his lyrics.
"You still dare to pretend you've lost contact~" "Skipping class, not answering your phone~"
And just as Anon was anxiously waiting like a death row inmate for the axe to fall, the song came to an end.
"...Don't let me see you at the show~" "I'll rip off your mask and slap you in the face~"
That's... it?
As the guitar accompaniment slowly faded, the girls all felt a little bit stuck, like being stopped just short of the climax.
But overall, it was indeed a good song.
"***~"
Mutsumi Wakaba naturally had to give her fiancé face and was the first to start clapping.
Seeing this, the other girls also began to applaud one after another.
"What do you mean by that?"
As the applause died down, the first to attack was surprisingly Taki. Ano-chan, for her part, certainly didn't dare to make a big fuss.
"My mouth is foul? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Taki knew she was blunt and not well-liked, but being told so directly still made her feel annoyed.
