After all, this was a band from the MyGO anime!
Just look at how popular the MyGO band was right now.
It could be said that anyone who liked bands was a MyGO fan.
Many people had even entered the scene because of MyGO.
The new band might not be as popular as MyGO, but for her, it was still a meteoric rise.
If she worked hard enough, maybe she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life!
However, after the initial excitement faded and her rationality returned, Nyamu suddenly seemed to realize something, her expression turning wary.
Kamijou Mutsuki was offering her such favorable conditions—could it be that he was still coveting her beauty?
Could it be… that she, Nyamu, was about to encounter the so-called "unspoken rules"?
Nyamu, you wouldn't want to be kicked out of the band, would you?
As if imagining some unhealthy scenes, Nyamu's face instantly flushed red as she shook her head.
That kind of thing—no way!
"Kamijou-kun, I already said that what happened before is in the past."
Thinking she had figured everything out, Nyamu looked at Kamijou Mutsuki and spoke righteously.
"I, Nyamu, am pure and upright."
"You think that just the identity of a new band member is enough to make me sell my soul?"
"…So, you're saying we need to add more money?"
"That's right, we need to add—wait, no, that's not what I meant!"
Realizing what she had just said, the girl's face flushed even redder in anger.
"Nyamu will do her job properly, but you are not allowed to make a move on her!"
"What if Nyamu makes the first move?"
Kamijou Mutsuki proposed a possibility.
"That's impossible!"
There was no way she, Nyamu, would fall for a scumbag like him!
Absolutely impossible!
"If that day really comes, you can do whatever you want with Nyamu!"
Nyamu appeared very confident. After all, she was a working adult—she wouldn't be so easily fooled like those schoolgirls around Kamijou Mutsuki.
After setting these "three rules" with him, Nyamu felt much more at ease.
Now that the biggest threat had been resolved, there shouldn't be anything else to worry about in the new band, right?
After finishing this discussion with Kamijou Mutsuki, Nyamu's attitude became friendly again.
After exchanging LINE contacts, she smiled and parted ways with him.
As for Sakiko, after the date ended, she had originally planned to head back.
"But I have a different idea."
"Go… to the company?"
Sitting in the car, Sakiko's expression was slightly dazed.
It wasn't that she didn't want to work overtime—it was that at this time, Tomori and the others would usually already be at the company practicing.
So Kamijou Mutsuki's intention was obvious.
"Mutsuki, actually, you don't have to do this. I've already completely let it go."
Sakiko was silent for a moment, then looked at him with a firm expression.
"Everyone has their own new lives now. I won't be shaken by the past anymore!"
"…"
In response, Kamijou Mutsuki could only smile.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination.
At this moment, Tomori and the others had already gathered—Soyo was there as well.
However, her mood didn't seem very good. She sat there, angrily munching on a cucumber.
"Sakiko, Kamijou~"
Sakiko's attention had been focused on Tomori, but unexpectedly, Anon walked over to them first.
"What's going on with you two today?"
"Not only did you go on a date, you even made such a big scene!"
Although Anon had already sensed something was off when Sakiko appeared at Kamijou Mutsuki's house in a maid outfit, she hadn't expected Sakiko to take that step too.
Soyo was one thing—but Sakiko as well?!
"A big scene?"
However, upon hearing Anon's words, Sakiko instantly panicked.
"How do you know about my date with Mutsuki, Anon…?"
"You and that Kamijou guy were on a livestream, weren't you?"
Anon looked puzzled.
"It's all over the internet now."
After all, this was gossip about Kamijou Mutsuki and Sakiko!
"…"
Since she wasn't originally part of the MyGO band's core exposure, and her personality had always been rather aloof, most of her classmates didn't dare approach her too much.
So among the band girls, Sakiko was actually one of the least aware of her own popularity.
More importantly, at the time, her mind had been completely occupied with thoughts of Mutsumi and Kamijou Mutsuki—her brain practically overheating—so she hadn't had the capacity to think about anything else.
That was why she had agreed to Nyamu's request.
If what Anon said was true, then didn't that mean Mutsumi already knew about the two of them secretly…
She meant, going out together alone?
"Don't worry, Saki-chan."
Seeing Sakiko's face suddenly turn a bit pale, Kamijou Mutsuki gently comforted her.
"If Mutsumi blames anyone, I'll just say you were the one who seduced me!"
Sakiko: ?
For a moment, the girl thought she had misheard.
Not a human, seriously?
At this point, Sakiko didn't even have the energy to feel nervous anymore. She just looked at Kamijou Mutsuki with a dark expression, practically grinding her teeth.
"Wow, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
I wasn't praising you, idiot!
Anon: Nice.
Watching the two flirt and bicker right in front of her, Anon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Seriously—am I invisible or something?
"Anyway, let's set aside these unimportant matters for now."
That is NOT unimportant!
Both Anon and Sakiko complained inwardly at the same time.
"I have an idea."
"No, you don't!"
Anon instinctively cut him off.
After all, could Kamijou Mutsuki's ideas ever be normal?
"I've come up with a way to boost your popularity."
"…What is it?"
At that, Anon could only go along and ask.
"Do you know what 'secondary creations' are?"
As he spoke, Kamijou Mutsuki gathered the MyGO members together and opened his account on Niconico, titled "I've Never Found Fan Creations This Fun", with a cucumber as the profile picture.
Anyone who didn't know better might think it was Mutsumi's account.
"This is a video I uploaded on the way here. I think everyone should watch it together."
Meanwhile, back at home, Nyamu also noticed a notification on her phone.
"That guy uploaded a new video?"
As someone who had appeared briefly in MyGO, she naturally had her own account on Niconico—the platform considered MyGO's home base—and even had quite a few followers.
She had followed Kamijou Mutsuki's account before—one of them being this semi-official personal account.
At the moment, the account had no official announcements, only a single fan-made video.
It could be called the crown jewel of the platform right now: "Guest", a duet between Taki and Sakiko.
Its view count had even surpassed many official MyGO music videos.
Many creators on Niconico had made similar "misunderstanding-themed" works, but none could compare to it.
And now, this account had finally uploaded its second video.
Its title was—
"Lies"
"'Lies'?!"
Sakiko instantly became alert.
