On what was practically the last holiday before the end of summer break. Ave Mujica, whose training schedule had ramped up ever since Kazami Haru completed the composition, was finally set to hold their debut live today.
And as a member himself, it went without saying that Kazami Haru would come in person to check things out. Only, the moment he arrived at the performing arts theater, he ...

"Mana-chan… our break today has already been quite long. Don't we still have to find our manager later?"

The moment they stepped in, Mutsumi looked around with wide eyes like a dazed cucumber, staring straight ahead. Even though she tried to keep her gaze in check, she cou...

Tomori's soft voice carried a hint of confusion, and Kazami Haru, who had been focused entirely on Nagasaki Soyo, quickly turned his head. A petite wildcat, pulling a small cart, suddenly peeked her head out.
Normally, everyone would've been startled by how she always appeared so silently. But right now, all their attention was completely absorbed elsewhere.

The gray-haired girl sitting beside him lifted her timid gaze, her voice trembling with hesitation. Her entire body was tense as she gathered her strength just to hold onto the boy next to her with trembling fingers.
As if she feared that asking such a question would make the black-haired boy at her side run away.

This Bocchi route had been a bumpy one, but at least it reached a proper Happy End in the end.

Kazami Haru frowned instantly, he had never encountered this before. With over thirteen simulation attempts under his belt, he thought he could use "VR simulation" freely. So even in a situation like this, he remained calm. But now, something unprecedented had occurred.
The option was gone...

Haru raised an eyebrow at the meaningful comment.
Yahata Umiri, who had suddenly turned cryptic, didn't answer him right away. Instead, she pulled another can of KISS coffee from her bass case but after trying twice with her fingernail, she still couldn't open it.
Unable to watch her struggle anymore, Haru reached over and helped.

The lock of the luxury apartment door gave a crisp sound as it opened. A golden-haired girl in a baseball cap stepped inside, shutting the door behind her with a complex expression.

Holding her phone and standing still, Takamatsu Tomori looked like a lost little animal, unsure of where to go.
She had separated from Taki, who was worried about her, to try and meet Kessoku Band. But by the time she reached the backstage area, the performance had already ended, and the band had left.
With that, she was left without a goal, without a direction.

Despite the gentle aura she radiated, her smile 'unchanged from usual' carried a chilling undertone that made Chihaya Anon shiver instinctively. Whatever excuse she had prepared suddenly caught in her throat.<...

The moment Kita Ikuyo pulled open the curtain and stepped onto the stage with her guitar in hand, she was met with a sea of people surging from all directions.

He had only grabbed her hand to prevent getting separated again but somehow, he had ended up holding Umiri's hand instead of Takamatsu Tomori's?
Oh no… and he just squeezed it too. That felt way too awkward.

Takamatsu Tomori's soft voice held a hint of confusion as she gently tugged on his sleeve. Clearly, she looked quite different from usual today.
Her light ash-brown hair was adorned with a pure white satin ribbon, and her delicate silk kimono added a graceful elegance to her figure. A pale gray bow cinched her slender waist, and the embroidered sleeves of her kimono swayed g...

The girl with light blue hair slowly hung up the phone. Feeling relieved, she let out a long sigh. Her smooth, shiny hair and the light ribbon fluttered gently with her steps.
She walked slowly towards a quiet, secluded street, her sharp gaze enough to make people avoid her.

Bocchi's closet wasn't even the size of a single tatami mat, but it was compact and fully functional. Somehow, she'd managed to fit her guitar, a laptop, and even installed a hook on the wall to hang her headphones. Posters of bands were taped up where she could still see them.
