Stakeholder BYūtenji-san, what's the matter?

NyamuMay I take a moment of your time? I have something to discuss with you all.

UmiriGood work. I'm off.

ManagerOh, good work. Once you're back in Tokyo, I'll hear the details from you.

Uika...

ManagerSorry to rush you, but could we schedule the recording for tomorrow? For this show, we have no choice but to have sumimi perform.

UikaYes.

Uika(Saki-chan...)

A Few Days Later

Nyamu's Dormitory - Private Room

Nyamu...

The famous girl band Ave Mujica announced their disbandment! Their agency also addressed the reasons for the disbandment.

Account AIs it true they announced the disbandment without even performing a single song? That's too harsh.

Account BI took a break and bought train tickets, im crying. Can't recover from it.

Account CIt's sad that they disbanded, but Mutsumi-chan was cooking till the end~! She was screaming a lot, is she okay...?

Account DReally disbanding? No~~! What's gonna happen to everyone!?

Nyamu...

Sakiko...

UikaYou don't have to answer. You can stay here as long as you want.

UikaEven without Mujica, will you stay with me?

Sakiko(Even if I continue staying here... Uika will forgive me...)

Sakiko(That's why I can't...)

A Few Days Later

Girls Collection Venue

ReporterUika-san, could you talk about Mujica's disbandment? It's said you broke up due to bad relationships.

UikaAh, I don't think it's about Mujica right now...

MCAnd now! Today's guests are from unique backgrounds! Let's first introduce Nyamuchi!

NyamuHere I am!

MCWe see you on variety shows every day~

NyamuThank you! We had that setup of us being dolls, right?

MCAhaha! Do you want to start from there? But now, you are doing videos, streaming, and all sorts of things, right?

NyamuI want those who support me to feel like, "Being a fan of Nyamuchi is amazing!" So—

SakikoI should finish this assignment now before it's too late.

Win-Wing-Production - Open Space

Staff ASeriously~ Uika-chan is so pitiful. sumimi really had it rough, huh? They went through so much to fill Mujica's gap.

Staff BThat's right~ And Minami-san said that Mutsumi-chan locked herself in her room and hasn't come out.

Staff ANo way! She was so popular! What a waste~ Ave Mujica's disbandment must have been a huge blow.

Staff BYou think? They just threw it out like "Yeah, disband~" In the end, wasn't it just a rich girl's band game?

ManaGood morning~

UikaMorning.

Staff AAh... good morning! Oh, I have an urgent meeting to attend!

Staff BMe, me too!

ManaUnbelievable. It's been a month, and people are still saying that stuff.

UikaSorry.

ManaUi-chan, you don't need to apologize.

Uika...

ManaWhat's wrong?

UikaHmm... I can't get in touch with Saki-chan.

ManaOh, the keyboardist?
