"Hello everyone, Nyamu Nyamu~"
In Tokyo, at the entrance of a well-known shopping mall, a purple-haired girl wearing a stylish gray dress held a selfie stick, posing cutely toward her phone camera.
"Today I actually—no way?!"
As if she had just spotted something, the streamer showed a surprised expression.
"Sorry everyone, Nyamu-chan will step away for a moment~"
"You'll never guess what Nyamu-chan just saw!"
Then she paused the recording, turned off the camera, and jogged over in that direction.
What should she do?
On the other side, "Sakiko-sensei" was feeling deeply conflicted.
She knew very well that what she was doing was unfair to Wakaba Mutsumi.
But asking her to refuse Kamijou Mutsuki's invitation…
She simply couldn't say the words.
Maybe if she missed this chance, there wouldn't be another one.
Unfortunately, Sakiko didn't possess Nagasaki Soyo's "earth-shaking wisdom," and couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kamijou and Ms. Togawa?"
Just as Sakiko was tangled in her thoughts, a fashionably dressed purple-haired girl suddenly approached them.
"And you are…?"
Interrupted, Sakiko couldn't help but frown slightly as she looked at the girl in front of her.
At the same time, Kamijou Mutsuki's gaze shifted subtly.
After all, the two of them had gained a bit of fame in this country.
To avoid being disturbed during this outing, they had deliberately put on some disguises—and had even used a one-time "mysterious item" from the system.
However, the disguise didn't seem to work very well on the girl in front of them—just as expected, cheap things weren't reliable.
Still, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
If anything, it was an unexpected bonus.
"I'm Nyamu-chan~"
Even though Sakiko hadn't directly confirmed anything, Nyamu had already recognized them and immediately tried to get closer.
"I even appeared in the MyGO!!!!! anime!"
Even though it was only a brief appearance on Anon's tablet, it had still brought her quite a bit of popularity.
"Did you?"
Sakiko blinked slightly in surprise.
As a voice actress for MyGO!!!!!, how could she not remember such a character?
In the end, it was only after Kamijou Mutsuki reminded her that Sakiko barely recalled where Nyamu had appeared.
Wait—just a few seconds of video footage counts as an appearance?
Even "Miss Donut" at least had voice lines!
Faced with Sakiko's subtle gaze, Nyamu remained completely unfazed.
Clout-chasing wasn't anything to be ashamed of!
"Nyamu-chan was just livestreaming~"
She said in a cute tone.
"I never expected to run into you two—how lucky~"
"So, would you be interested in making a guest appearance on Nyamu-chan's stream?"
After all that buildup, Nyamu finally revealed her true goal.
After all, if Kamijou Mutsuki and Sakiko appeared on her stream, her popularity would definitely rise even further!
"A livestream…"
Sakiko hesitated.
"Sakiko-san, onegaishimasu~"
Seeing a chance, Nyamu immediately pressed on, grabbing Sakiko's hand.
"What would it take for you to join Nyamu-chan's stream? As long as you agree, Nyamu-chan will do anything~"
Where did this Soyo come from?!
Sakiko's body trembled slightly—she almost reflexively shook off Nyamu's hand.
"…Alright, I'll agree."
However, unlike last time, Sakiko actually accepted Nyamu's request.
"Are you sure?"
Kamijou Mutsuki, standing beside her, raised an objection.
"I'm sure!"
But his question only strengthened her resolve.
Of course, she didn't agree because of Nyamu's request.
She simply wanted to temporarily escape the awkward situation of being alone with Kamijou Mutsuki—adjust her emotions, and ease her sense of guilt.
At this moment, Sakiko's mind was completely occupied with how to reduce the guilt in her heart. She couldn't betray her best friend, and the tangled emotions had nearly caused her brain to shut down.
She hadn't thought at all about what agreeing to Nyamu's request would lead to.
Because of that, she also hadn't expected Kamijou Mutsuki to object.
And even… developed a subtle misunderstanding.
Did he want to be alone with her that much…? Did he… like her that much?
Thinking this, her cheeks grew slightly warm.
Even though she knew it was wrong, she still couldn't help but feel a faint sense of joy.
"Alright then."
As for Kamijou Mutsuki, since Sakiko had already agreed, he naturally had no objections. After all, he had always been open and aboveboard.
"Thank you both so much—Nyamu-chan is really touched~"
Seeing this, Nyamu revealed a delighted expression. She had only tried her luck, never expecting the two of them to actually agree.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting, Nyamu-chan is back~"
After getting their consent, Nyamu immediately resumed the livestream.
"Guess who Nyamu-chan ran into today?"
"Ta-da~ It's one of the main characters of the MyGO!!!!! anime, Ms. Togawa, and MyGO's manager, Mr. Kamijou!"
The livestream that followed went very smoothly.
There was no need to mention Kamijou Mutsuki, and Sakiko had experience performing in a band, so she wasn't stage-shy either.
Under Nyamu's lead, the two chatted and joked, even reenacting a famous scene from one of the anime episodes. The atmosphere quickly became lively and cheerful.
Only when they were asked whether they were a couple—out on a date together—did Sakiko's composure slip slightly, her cheeks flushing red as she hurriedly denied it.
And this livestream soon reached the eyes of the band girls.
"Huh? What is this guy doing?"
With the popularity of Kamijou Mutsuki and Sakiko, Nyamu's already fairly popular stream exploded in viewership. Moreover, Rikki's class was full of MyGO!!!!! fans.
Naturally, there were quite a few girls who had followed Nyamu because of her brief appearance in the anime—there weren't just a few of them.
After all, following the same streamer as Anon instantly raised their "status," didn't it?
On top of that, as a beauty content creator, Nyamu was genuinely popular among girls their age.
And with the stream being pushed by the platform due to its surging popularity, it was quickly discovered by girls casually scrolling their phones during break.
Watching the two people on the stream, Shiina Taki couldn't help but frown.
Seriously? They were here attending class, and Kamijou Mutsuki had gone out on a date with "Sakiko-sensei"?
How could he do this to her—
No, to Mutsumi?
Taki had long known that Kamijou Mutsuki had unclear relationships with several girls—including her own close friend Tomori.
But at this moment, seeing him out on a "date" with Sakiko, a kind of frustration and anger she had never felt before surged up in her heart.
This two-timing scumbag!
