Chapter 47: Chapter 47
Among the girls, the only one with a dark expression was probably Miss Soyo.
Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with her on-screen self in the opening theme.
You're playing with them?
And you're wearing a matching uniform?
And you're smiling so happily?
Pah, disgusting!
How could she possibly show a genuine smile in a band without Sakiko?
How could she acknowledge a band without Sakiko?
She admitted that this anime Kamijo Mutsumi had made was a bit strange, but everything in the opening was just his fantasy. It would absolutely never happen!
Sakiko is indispensable. Anon and the cat are disposable.
Thinking this, Soyo looked at Anon, who was struggling to suppress her smile, and the shadow in her eyes deepened.
You can smile for now. Sooner or later, I'll cut you out~
Lifting her head to look at the screen, the girl's determination grew even firmer.
If that day ever comes, then she will be the one to end this band with her own hands!
「Boku wa atsumetai yo aa hitoshizuku o.」 (Ah, I want to gather them, those single drops of rain.)
As the opening theme ended, the first scene of the episode unfolded before the girls.
With Tsukinomori Girls' Academy appearing on the screen, everyone could basically guess whose turn it was next.
Afterward, amidst the "Gokigen'yō" greetings from the other young ladies, Mutsumi Wakaba made her expected entrance.
"I didn't see Rikki yesterday."
Still no preamble, straight to the point.
"Did Saki-chan reply to you?"
Mutsumi Wakaba shook her head.
"I see..."
Soyo's eyes were deep, making it impossible to see her true thoughts.
"Gokigen'yō."
"Gokigen'yō."
Soyo put on her gentle mask to greet her classmates, but when she faced Mutsumi Wakaba, she revealed her true face.
"Why don't we go check on Saki-chan at her house?"
Soyo's tone was as calm and gentle as ever, as if she were discussing what to have for lunch, but it made Mutsumi Wakaba stop in her tracks.
"You know where she lives, right?"
Seeing this, Soyo directly blocked her path, a "perfectly nice" smile on her face.
"It would be great if you could tell me!"
Clearly, Mutsumi's long-term evasiveness had exhausted her patience. Miss Soyo decided to take the initiative.
Holy shit, doxxing!
"..."
Mutsumi Wakaba naturally knew the consequences of telling Soyo Sakiko's address and could only lower her head in silence.
Soyo didn't speak either, but the intensity of the "perfectly nice" smile on her face grew stronger.
"I'll... try to contact her again."
Faced with Soyo's stare, Mutsumi Wakaba ultimately couldn't remain indifferent.
She lowered her head in silence for a good while before finally giving this reply.
"Clinging on like this... isn't it just pathetic, Soyo?"
However, while Mutsumi Wakaba might indulge Soyo, Sakiko, who had just watched herself nearly get doxxed at the beginning of the show, could not tolerate it.
"Why would you say that?"
Soyo, however, felt she had done nothing wrong.
"I just wanted to show my concern for Saki-chan."
"I don't need your concern!"
Sakiko truly didn't understand why this person had such a deep obsession with her.
She just wanted to make a clean break with her naive past. Why did she have to keep pestering her?
"But..."
"Can you two stop fighting? Are we watching this or not?"
In the end, it was Miss Taki who spoke up, interrupting their conversation.
Sakiko didn't continue to question Soyo, but a hint of frustration appeared between her brows.
Soyo, on the other hand, wore a smile, the obsession in her eyes growing deeper.
She will definitely make Saki-chan have a change of heart. They will definitely return to being the happy group they once were!
At this point, the anime cut to a scene with Tomori and Anon.
"Why do you look so down?"
Anon, who had been smiling and greeting her classmates, gave this assessment, her own cheeks twitching as she looked at Tomori's lowered head.
"Good morning!"
"It's a penguin again!"
The high-EQ Miss Anon directly used Tomori's favorite penguin band-aids to open a conversation.
"A chinstrap penguin."
"So cute~"
And then, unsurprisingly, a smile that would make a certain Miss Taki's heart ache appeared on Tomori's face.
"This is for you!"
Then, after a bit of back-and-forth, Anon accepted Tomori's penguin band-aid.
Taki, watching this from the side, was about to turn into a lemon spirit from sourness.
Tomori had never given her any gifts, yet this person was acting reluctant.
"Rikki, do you want one too?"
The single-threaded Tomori rarely noticed the envy in Miss Taki's eyes and tilted her head as she asked.
"Tomori, I..." Yes, I want one so badly!
But even the straightforward Miss Taki couldn't bring herself to directly ask for a gift.
"This one is... an Adelie penguin!"
Seeing this, Tomori directly took out a rare penguin band-aid that she had planned to put in her collection later and handed it to Taki.
"Is this... for me?"
"This one is for Rikki."
"Tomori... I will treasure this gift from you like the most precious treasure!"
No, no, no, it's just a band-aid. There's no need to be so dramatic, right?
Listening to Taki's excited words, Anon, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch her lips, an indescribable expression on her face.
That's enough!
Don't tell me everyone in this band is an emotionally 'heavy' woman?
Doesn't that make a normal person like me seem out of place?
After Tomori's turn was over, Anon, at the suggestion of a classmate, went to RiNG, wanting to find band members through the bulletin board.
But obviously, a core position like lead guitarist and vocalist was usually decided from the start and not openly recruited.
(Well, if Anon had gone looking at another small live house called "Starry," perhaps the result would have been different.)
Just as Anon was about to go home in disappointment, Miss Soyo made her grand entrance.
"Um, you were a big help yesterday!"
Although it was just a simple expression of concern, Anon still smiled and bowed in thanks.
Or perhaps, she simply wanted to hit on this pretty girl she found to her liking?
"..."
Who the fck are you?*
Although she didn't recognize the pink-haired girl who had suddenly appeared, Soyo still managed an awkward yet polite smile.
"It's all thanks to you talking to me back then!"
"???Oh~"
At this moment, Soyo finally remembered who this pink-haired girl was.
"She suddenly blocked my way," Anon began to complain. "And she was shouting and yelling. I didn't even know what to do."
