Chapter 60: Chapter 60
Perhaps she still couldn't let go of the former CRYCHIC.
But she didn't want Sakiko to be sad because of it.
Feeling Tomori's gentleness, Great God Saki cried even harder.
After all, the more considerate Tomori was, the more selfish she seemed, and the guilt in her heart grew stronger.
And with Great God Saki's crying as an accompaniment, the melody of Kamijo Mutsumi's song grew more and more intense.
"Become rich~ I'll become rich~" "So many people waste their time day and night~"
When he looked over, Miss Ano had already clenched her fists.
You really think I don't have a temper?
"..."
"I'll become rich~" "All my troubles will be left at the edge of the sky~"
The song was now approaching its end.
"Become rich~ I'll become rich~" "And then say from the bottom of my heart that money isn't everything~"
As his singing concluded, the living room fell silent again.
The only sound that could be heard was the occasional sob from Great God Saki.
"This song of yours..."
Anon, the sharpest of the girls present, had already vaguely guessed something and looked at him with some hesitation.
"Just singing randomly," he said with a smile, putting away the microphone under Miss Ano's gaze. "Since we're done listening, let's continue eating!"
You were definitely not singing randomly.
The guitar, the amp, the microphone—it was all too smooth!
You came completely prepared.
But seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, and looking at the still-sniffling Great God Saki, the high-EQ girl knew that some things were better left unsaid.
After the song, he and Raana returned to their seats.
However, compared to before, the atmosphere at the dinner table was much better.
At the very least, the barrier between Tomori and Sakiko was temporarily gone, and Taki was no longer as hostile towards her.
As for why Great God Saki had cried so hard because of that song, everyone tacitly chose to ignore it.
Feeling the change in atmosphere, Mutsumi Wakaba's gaze on a certain someone also became increasingly gentle.
While Tomori was cuddling with Sakiko, her gaze would also drift over in his direction from time to time.
However, he paid this no mind.
Looking at the harmonious scene before him, he felt it would be a pity not to share it.
And so, he took out his phone, snapped a picture of Great God Saki and Tomori cuddling, and sent it to a certain "yuri outsider" rich wife who was the only one not present.
[Soyo]: ?
Unsurprisingly, a reply came back in a few seconds.
[Soyo]: Why are they still at your place?
[Soyo]: How is Sakiko there too?
[Soyo]: And what's with Sakiko and Tomori...
In a duplex high-rise elsewhere in Tokyo, Miss Soyo, who had been lying in bed, had now sat up.
She looked at the photo he had sent, her face filled with confusion and anxiety.
After all, she had just been looking at the old CRYCHIC website to mend her wounded heart, only for him to suddenly hit her with this. She was instantly overcome with anxiety.
Sakiko went back before, but why are Tomori and the others there too?
And having witnessed the whole thing, Soyo knew very well the rift between those two, but how are they suddenly so close now?
Especially the Sakiko in the photo—she gave off the feeling of "White Sakiko."
What on earth happened?
Soyo felt as if she had missed an entire season.
[Big Capitalist]: Of course, we had an awesome dinner party together. Guess who wasn't invited?
Soyo silently typed a question mark.
What, you're having a party without me and now you're rubbing it in my face?
[Big Capitalist]: Please rest assured, everyone in the band is getting along much more harmoniously now. Tomori and Great God Saki have also temporarily made up.
[Big Capitalist]: Although you weren't here.
There was no need to add that last sentence.
[Big Capitalist]: In any case, we're going to continue eating now. You just rest well at home, Soyo!
How can I possibly rest well when you say that?!
Looking again at the harmonious and friendly scene in the photo, Soyo's heart skipped a beat.
This photo was taken very well. It's just a little... not good.
In short, she wasn't in it.
Oh no! Don't tell me they're planning to cut me out?
Soyo, who spent her days thinking about cutting out Anon and Raana, couldn't help but start to panic.
And then, Kamijo Mutsumi received the same treatment as Saki-chan.
However, with his foresight, he had already turned off his phone in advance.
And so, Soyo, unable to get a reply, started to get the big sad.
Am I really going to be cut out?
I don't want that! At least wait another 100 years!
Clearly, someone was not going to get any sleep tonight.
And unlike Soyo's side, the atmosphere at his place was filled with joy.
Especially Great God Saki, who felt as if she had returned to the CRYCHIC era.
However, she knew in her heart that an illusion was ultimately just an illusion.
Some things were not for her to decide.
After dinner, since they all had school tomorrow, the girls didn't hang out for too long and instead prepared to wash up and rest.
And this villa, which originally belonged to Great God Saki, had a large bath big enough to accommodate everyone—except for him, of course.
Even Mutsumi Wakaba probably wouldn't agree to that.
And since it was a large household, there was no need to worry about conserving water.
He didn't even get to enjoy the "band girl bath water." Sad!
Afterward, there was no standard-issue pillow fight or anything of the sort. Everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.
It was a good thing this was Great God Saki's mansion; otherwise, there really might not have been enough rooms.
However, just as he was preparing to rest, he heard a knock on his door.
Who could it be at this late hour?
He opened the door and found Great God Saki, dressed in pajamas.
"Did you get the wrong door for your night raid? Tomori is next door."
Great God Saki, who had walked into his bedroom, still seemed to be struggling with something, but hearing his words, she almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Who would do a night raid on Tomori?!"
Seriously, what kind of image does this guy have of me?
"Not Tomori? Then don't tell me your target is Mutsumi-chan?"
"Why does it have to be them? Can't it be you?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Sakiko immediately realized something was wrong.
She lifted her head and, unsurprisingly, met his strange, subtle gaze.
"So your target wasn't Tomori or Mutsumi, but me?"
"That's not impossible... as long as you don't make a move on Mutsumi and the others..."
"Who would want to do a night raid on you?! No, wait..."
Great God Saki, who had almost been talked into a corner by him, finally came to her senses. She frowned, her cheeks slightly red, and looked at him.
"...Is it fun to tease me?"
