Thus, during one particular practice session, a certain purple-haired big cat finally couldn't take it anymore and directly went to Kamijou Mutsuki to complain.
"Kamijou-kun, please do something about Sakiko,"
Although she really didn't want to approach dangerous elements like Kamijou Mutsuki, after enduring all this torment over the past days, she truly couldn't bear it any longer.
She had already suffered quite a bit while struggling alone in Tokyo, but never this badly!
"Just look at the schedule she's been making lately…"
"At this rate, Nyamu-nyan is going to die from exhaustion!"
With this level of workload, the purple-haired big cat felt that if this continued, she would soon become a dead cat.
"What part of you is tired?"
Sakiko already wasn't very fond of Nyamu, whose thoughts were overly utilitarian and constantly focused on popularity.
Now that she had actually gone to Kamijou Mutsuki to complain, Sakiko couldn't help frowning directly.
"Everyone's been training at this intensity for days now."
"Don't just make things up with your eyes open!"
"Our new band has a very heavy mission!"
For Sakiko, things were simple—Nyamu only needed to focus on drumming, but as the leader of the band, Sakiko herself had far more things to consider.
"Sometimes you should reflect on your own problems."
"Have you really been training seriously all this time? Have you been putting real effort into your drumming?"
Among all the band members, this big cat already had the weakest fundamentals, yet instead of working harder she was standing here complaining. Truly ridiculous.
Did she even understand how difficult it was to obtain the opportunity to join this band chosen by Kamijou Mutsuki?
Hmph, it was just a mere big cat. If you don't drum, there are plenty of others willing to do it!
Wait, are those even words a human should say?!
After hearing Big Sakiko-sensei's remarks, Nyamu naturally felt even more wronged.
She even suspected this blue-haired woman was deliberately taking revenge on her!
Even Kamijou Mutsuki beside them wore a somewhat subtle expression.
Taki, when did you get here?
In the end, it was only after Kamijou Mutsuki spoke up that Ave Mujica's training intensity was finally reduced.
After all, Big Sakiko-sensei really had become somewhat possessed lately over the new song.
Although Big Cat was the only one who felt her hands had already gone pineapple pineapple da, there was no doubt the training had begun affecting Uika and the others' daily lives as well.
Even Mutsumi's physical stamina had declined noticeably over the past few days.
He could understand Sakiko's desire not to disappoint him, but it genuinely wasn't necessary.
As 2D characters living in reality, their positioning—just like MyGO!!!!!—was actually closer to idols than true band musicians.
As long as they stood on stage and covered their foreheads with black lace, their popularity definitely wouldn't be low.
Not to mention singing songs for the anime itself.
Did they really think his status as a million-dollar tuner didn't exist?
And seeing that someone had finally managed to rein in Sakiko, the pressure monster and king of overachievers, Nyamu also finally let out a sigh of relief, and her favorable impression of Kamijou Mutsuki rose sharply.
Kamijou Mutsuki might be a scumbag boss, but he really knew how to manage things!
Suddenly, the boss didn't seem so bad after all.
Wait, could this also be part of the boss's scheme?!
As a mature adult, Nyamu-nyan wouldn't waver so easily!
Still, once the training intensity dropped, progress naturally slowed as well.
By the time Tomori and the others had already finished recording and the anime was nearly airing, Sakiko's group had only barely finished recording their song.
The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Nyamu, who practically wanted to collapse onto the sofa and never get up again.
However, the restless Sakiko soon brought up another issue to Kamijou Mutsuki.
Namely, the new band's name and stage outfits.
That's right—even though Kamijou Mutsuki had always referred to Sakiko's new band internally as Ave Mujica—
During this period, Sakiko had devoted all her energy toward the new song and simply hadn't had the mental capacity to think about such matters.
Even the dark and profound worldview of Ave Mujica had yet to be born.
Of course, Sakiko might not necessarily have lacked related ideas.
After all, this was the worldview that Big Sakiko-sensei supposedly came up with by spending ten minutes before bed every night, okay? (serious)
However, now that the girl's mentality had completely changed, she no longer seemed to have any intention of putting that concept into practice?
Could it be that Chuunibyou Little Sakiko would never appear now?
Mutsuki: Doesn't matter, I'll make my move!
"The new band…"
Faced with the girl's question, Kamijou Mutsuki proposed: "How about calling it Kessoku Band?"
"…That feels more suitable for Soyo."
Although she couldn't tell whether Kamijou Mutsuki was joking, Sakiko still instinctively made that retort.
"What about TOGENASHI TOGEARI?"
"It sounds a little strange."
But if Kamijou Mutsuki thought it was fine…
"Then let's go with that."
The girl nodded.
And thus, before Ave Mujica could even be born, it died prematurely on the spot.
"Cough cough, I was joking."
Seeing that Big Sakiko-sensei seemed to have taken it seriously, Kamijou Mutsuki hurriedly corrected himself.
"Let's stick with Ave Mujica instead."
Although imagining Big Sakiko-sensei forming TogeToge really was amusing, after thinking about it carefully, it still felt way too strange.
"Ave Mujica…"
Hearing that name, the girl couldn't help falling into thought. Clearly, the wavelength matched perfectly with her.
And besides…
Hadn't Kamijou Mutsuki mentioned this name before?
"Then what about the stage outfits…"
"No need to worry about that, Saki-chan."
A smile involuntarily appeared on Kamijou Mutsuki's face.
"When the time comes, I'll definitely give you all an extra surprise!"
For some reason, upon hearing this, Uika's body trembled slightly, and she inexplicably felt a bad premonition in her heart.
But very quickly, she shook her head, feeling she was probably overthinking things.
After all, what kind of accident could possibly happen with band performance outfits? It wasn't like they'd actually end up wearing lace veils over their heads or anything, right?
And as the girls of Ave Mujica finished recording the new song for MyGO!!!!!'s final episode, it was soon time for the anime to air.
However, this time, the atmosphere among the girls was inexplicably somewhat heavy.
Because they all knew—
This was already the final episode.
It had already…
Reached the time to end, hadn't it?
Even Umiri felt a slight sense of melancholy in her heart.
As for Tomori, she felt even worse. She really hated this kind of atmosphere of parting.
Nyamu also couldn't help scratching her cheek. Wait, hadn't she only just joined? And now it was already ending?
Still, the girls quickly adjusted their emotions.
After all, just because the anime had finished airing didn't mean they were going to resign from Kirara Anime.
Besides, what connected them wasn't only their identities as voice actresses, but also the band itself. There would still be plenty of time for them to spend together afterward!
Thus, amidst this rather subtle atmosphere, the screen began playing the final episode of MyGO!!!!!.
At the same time, as MyGO!!!!! fans watched the anime reach its conclusion, their hearts were likewise filled with reluctance.
Some people even completely lost it in front of their screens, shouting things like—
"MyGO!!!!!, how am I supposed to live without you?!"
"MyGO!!!!!, take me with you too!"
"Promise me you'll keep making MyGO!!!!! forever, okay?!"
"As long as you continue making MyGO!!!!!, I'll do anything!"
Naturally, this frightened their family members quite a bit.
However, after seeing what was playing on the television, their families immediately revealed expressions of understanding.
Oh, so they were watching MyGO!!!!!.
Then this was perfectly normal.
