Chapter 55: Chapter 55
"Saki-chan..."
Watching Great God Saki's tearful, fleeing back, Soyo belatedly stood up and chased after her.
This scene was like a reenactment of what had happened at Houbun Animation.
Why does this plot seem so familiar? Anon thought, scratching her head.
And Tomori, after hearing Great God Saki's "I wish you happiness," completely broke down, covering her eyes with her arm and beginning to cry softly.
"Tomori!"
Seeing her so heartbroken, Taki's own heart ached terribly.
"That Sakiko... she's just too much."
"Tomori shouldn't even talk to her. What's with that attitude!"
"..."
Watching Taki furiously lash out at the departed Sakiko, even Mutsumi Wakaba, who was the most biased towards her besides Soyo, couldn't find a way to defend her.
After all, although she knew of Sakiko's difficulties, the fact that she had hurt Tomori and the others was undeniable.
Therefore, she could only remain silent.
"Tomori, don't mind that girl."
Looking at Tomori, whose face was stained with tears like a pear blossom in the rain, Taki held her shoulders and comforted her softly, a sense of urgency in her voice.
"You still have us! We will always be by your side!"
"That's right, Tomori, you still have us!" Anon said, sitting down on her other side, her voice gentle.
"Taki-chan, Ano-chan, thank you..."
Listening to the two girls' comforting words, Tomori's crying gradually subsided, and she spoke through her sobs.
"Mutsumi."
Then, under the somewhat stiff gazes of Anon and Taki, she threw herself into Kamijo Mutsumi's arms.
Wait, Tomori, we're the ones comforting you. Why are you running into his arms?
"Don't... leave me..."
For Tomori, he and Sakiko were too similar in some ways.
Both had reached out a hand to her when she was lost in her past.
Therefore, after what happened with Sakiko, she was terrified that he would leave her too.
On the other side, Anon and Taki, sitting on the sofa, exchanged a silent look, suddenly feeling a bit superfluous.
I should be under the car, not in the car, watching how sweet you two are!
However, Tomori seemed to finally remember them. She let go of him and turned to take the two girls' hands.
"And Anon and Rikki, thank you."
The tears on Tomori's face had not yet dried, but she tried her best to smile.
"And Raana..."
The cat, who had been watching the show from the side, tilted her head slightly. I have a part in this too?
The cat was confused, but the cat did not spoil the mood. Instead, like a real cat, she snuggled up against Tomori's body.
"...We also have to be together, in a band for a lifetime!"
Seeing this, what little resentment the two girls had in their hearts all vanished into thin air.
Faced with a Tomori like this, what could they do?
Of course, they chose to forgive her!
"Tomori, I will be by your side for a lifetime, and be in a band with you for a lifetime!" Taki said, gripping her hand excitedly, tears welling up in her own eyes.
"A lifetime, huh..." Anon's voice was a bit helpless.
Although they had been together for a while now, she still couldn't quite handle these "emotionally heavy" women who threw around "a lifetime" at the drop of a hat.
But, having already been captured by the black hole's gravity, what could she do?
"Forget it. A lifetime it is."
"Interesting~" This was the cat, cuddling with Tomori.
The band, which had been just barely held together before, now seemed more harmonious than ever.
Great God Saki's flight, though it had hurt Tomori, had also strengthened the cohesion of this new band, making the four girls even closer.
Wait, four?
So, guess who's not included?
At the same time, as if influenced by the atmosphere, Mutsumi Wakaba couldn't help but look at the boy beside her.
A lifetime...
Will she also be with him for a lifetime?
But just then, a startled cry interrupted the harmonious atmosphere, and Mutsumi Wakaba's expression instantly changed.
Because, if she hadn't misheard, that was Sakiko's voice.
"Saki-chan..." Tomori also recognized her voice and murmured her name.
"Tomori, why should we care about her?" Taki was clearly still fuming. "What does that girl's business have to do with us?"
"But..."
Although Great God Saki had just hurt her feelings, with Tomori's personality, she naturally couldn't hold a grudge against her.
"Even so, what if something really happened to Saki-chan? We can't just ignore her, can we?"
Anon voiced the thoughts in Tomori's heart.
This time, Taki also fell silent.
After all, although she held a grudge against her, she obviously didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
"I'll go down and take a look."
In the end, it was naturally Kamijo Mutsumi, the host, who went down to check on the situation.
However, just as he got downstairs, he ran right into a tearful Great God Saki running towards him.
Sakiko was barefoot on one foot. As if she didn't see him, she brushed past him, covering her face with one arm, and limped up the stairs.
This scene, filled with a sense of déjà vu, instantly gave him a strange premonition.
Then, he took a few steps forward and, unsurprisingly, saw the culprit responsible for this result.
That's right. Who else could it be but Miss Soyo?
Looking at the shoe in her left hand and the stocking in her right, it wasn't hard to imagine what had just happened.
Seriously, sis? I was just joking. You actually did it?
Even Kamijo Mutsumi was on the verge of losing his composure at this point.
And besides, didn't I only tell you to pull off her shoe?
Why did you take off her stocking too?
One could only say, as expected of you, Miss Soyo!
He once thought that Mutsumi Wakaba and Taki had the strength to threaten her position.
Now it seemed that in this era of Soyo, they were merely mortals.
"Liar,"
At this moment, Soyo also noticed him. Her eyes, which had lost their light, looked over.
"You lied to me!"
Then he watched as Miss Soyo, who had seemed on the verge of turning to the dark side, instantly broke down in tears.
"I did what you said! It didn't work at all..."
Wait, who knew you would actually be crazy enough to believe me?
"It's all your fault..."
Seeing him not reply, Soyo didn't care.
She wiped her tears with her arm and sobbed as she spoke.
However, although she looked truly pitiful, the sight of her holding a shoe in one hand and a stocking in the other made it impossible to feel sad. In fact, it was...
...strangely comical.
"You're laughing!"
Hearing his laugh, the still-crying Soyo instantly saw red.
"Ahem,"
Kamijo Mutsumi dodged Miss Soyo's attack while suppressing the expression on his face.
"Miss Soyo, please rest assured."
"I have received strict training. No matter how funny it is, I will not laugh!"
"...Unless I can't help it!"
