Chapter 59: Chapter 59
What?
Singing?!
Hearing Kamijo Mutsumi's words, Anon's whole body jolted.
She suddenly felt that asking him for help had been a mistake. She would have been better off handling it herself!
Clearly, his last performance had left a considerable psychological shadow on the girl.
"Maybe let's not?" the pink-haired girl said with a sheepish laugh. "Isn't it a bit much to be singing and dancing during dinner?"
"Objection overruled!"
Having already made the offer, he naturally wasn't going to start strong and end weak. He directly called over his dedicated accompanist.
"Raana-chan, you accompany me!"
Raana, who was in the middle of sneak-eating the pieces of fish in Anon's bowl, immediately got up upon hearing this and cheerfully retrieved her guitar.
More guitar playing, yay!
At the same time, Mutsumi Wakaba, standing to the side, very cooperatively took out the sound system that had been prepared in advance.
Kamijo Mutsumi used this time to hand the sheet music for the new song to Raana.
Yes, he didn't grab the wrong one this time.
"Do you really have to sing?"
Watching him pick up the microphone, the unwilling Ano-chan asked pitifully.
"We've already come this far. If I don't sing, wouldn't I be spoiling everyone's fun?"
No, I wouldn't mind!
Taki, sitting to the side, watched Anon's reaction and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
It's just one song. Why is she acting like this?
"Well then, a song called 'If One Day I Became Rich,' dedicated to a lost girl!"
After saying this with a smile, he cleared his throat twice. Once Raana's guitar accompaniment started, he began to sing.
"If one day I became rich~" "My first choice wouldn't be to travel the world~"
Although he claimed to know nothing, his singing was actually quite good, not at all inferior to Tomori's.
On this point, even Taki had to admit it.
However...
Strange lyrics again.
And this rich dog is short on money?
As for Anon, after hearing that this song wasn't about her, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
Only Sakiko lifted her head, her eyes slightly moved.
However, having not been present for the last "music party," Great God Saki at this moment was not yet aware of the gravity of the situation.
"Lying on the world's biggest, softest sofa~" "Eating, sleeping, waking up to eat again, I'd do that for a year~"
Raana silently gave that a thumbs-up.
"If one day I became rich~" "I could keep everyone by my side~"
Great God Saki: I get it now!
Listening to his lyrics, Sakiko didn't react at first.
By the time she came to her senses, she found that her eyes had, at some point, filled with tears.
After all, this one line that struck right at the soul would make even a more emotional BanG Dreamer shed tears, let alone Great God Saki herself.
One could say that this line of lyrics was a special attack aimed directly at her.
"Every day happily eating, drinking, and chatting~" "Without worrying about tomorrow or separation~"
Great God Saki couldn't hold it in anymore and broke down in tears again.
After all, his lyrics were too vivid.
If she were rich, she wouldn't have to be like she was now, her mind filled with thoughts of daily necessities every day.
If she were rich, she could keep Tomori and the others by her side.
They could be just like in the lyrics, eating, drinking, and being happy every day, occasionally holding a live show, and when they had nothing to do, they could chat over tea at RiNG, without worrying about the day they would all part ways.
If she were rich, she wouldn't have had to quit CRYCHIC, wouldn't have had to cut ties with her former friends.
And she wouldn't have unintentionally hurt Tomori so deeply.
If she were rich...
Sakiko had too many "if onlys." In the end, all this unwillingness could only turn into tears, soaking her clothes and her heart, turning them cold.
Seriously, sis, you're actually crying?
Watching the tearful Great God Saki, Anon couldn't help but scratch her head.
Although she had been pretty broken down before, she hadn't cried like this!
What's wrong with Sakiko?
"Saki-chan..."
Tomori, sitting beside her, also showed a worried expression.
"Become rich~ I'll become rich~"
His lyrics, to Sakiko's ears, sounded like her own cries.
"So many people waste their time day and night~"
As he sang this line, he silently glanced at Anon, causing a question mark to appear above her head.
Hey, you're singing, so sing. Why are you looking at me?
What, you got a problem with me?
"Become rich~ I'll become rich~" "And then pretentiously say that money isn't everything~"
After that was an instrumental break with no specific meaning, after which he continued his assault.
"If one day I became rich~" "I would buy all the rare smiles~"
Hearing this line, the crying Sakiko subconsciously glanced at Mutsumi Wakaba for some reason.
But how could there be a smile on a doll's face?
And so, Great God Saki cried even more sadly.
"Let all the poor children no longer be timid~"
Great God Saki, did you help the little penguin become human?
Or did you just make her even sadder?
"Let all the evil people no longer hold the power of speech~"
Well, that "evil" person didn't seem to have attended this party.
Guess who's not here this time?
Soyo: ?
"If one day I became rich~" "I would find a way to turn back time~" "Not to contribute to humanity's ideals~" "But just to say to her..."
Here, he paused, then, as if possessed by Mutsumi Wakaba, delivered a direct critical hit.
"I'm so sorry~"
I wish you happiness!
In that instant, Great God Saki felt as if she had returned to the moment she finished watching the third episode of MyGO!!!!!.
She had used those four words to completely break Tomori's heart.
But were those the words she really wanted to say to her?
In her heart, she truly felt so much remorse towards Tomori.
But she couldn't express it honestly.
However, his lyrics at this moment completely shattered her defenses.
"I'm sorry!"
Sakiko could no longer restrain herself. She threw her arms around Tomori, apologizing as she cried.
"Tomori, I'm really so sorry!"
"I never thought... I would make you so sad!"
"I'm sorry, Tomori..."
"Hey, you..."
Taki, who had been squeezed to the side, had a displeased look on her face.
However, seeing Great God Saki crying so hard her voice was about to give out, she ultimately just gave a cold snort and didn't say anything more.
"It's okay..."
Faced with Sakiko hugging her and crying, Tomori first froze for a moment, then somewhat clumsily patted her head and began to comfort her.
"I... was never angry at Saki-chan."
"Never once..."
In that instant, Tomori felt that the reason Sakiko had quit CRYCHIC was no longer important.
Because Sakiko... was crying!
