Anon Stops Being a Trial Girlfriend

Aine is an ordinary, sunny, and beautiful girl; it's perfectly normal for her to be stage-frightened and not dare to go on stage.

Riki, Mygo and the other five arrived at Riki's house. Shiina Riki had just sat down when she heard Riki's words.

"Are you going to participate in the Kohaku Uta Gassen?" Riki asked.

"Pfft!" Shiina Riki was drinking water and couldn't help but spit it out, looking at Riki in disbelief. "Huh?"

Kohaku Uta Gassen you can just do whenever you want?

The other four were also surprised.

Of course she wanted to participate. It was impossible for her not to envy Sakiko and Hailing for performing on such a big stage as the Tokyo Dome. But Mygo was an amateur band and not as good as Mujica, so she kept it to herself.

Riki explained what had happened to them.

"I don't care," Shiina Riki said, crossing her arms, then looked at Takamatsu Akari: "What does Akari think?"

"I'm very happy to be able to perform with Sakiko," Takamatsu Akari said with a light laugh.

"Me too," Nagasaki Sose quickly replied.

"I want to go." Kaname Runa likes excitement.

Riki looked at Chihaya Anon: "Where 'Aine?"

Chihaya Anon hesitated. "Do we really have to go? But I..."

She wasn't as capable as the others.

What if I hold them back?

But with Rakuna-chan helping me, it should be fine, right?

"Alright, let's all go together, Kohaku Uta Gassen!" Chihaya Anon said nervously.

Isn't this the kind of attention-grabbing stage she's always wanted?

Break free from the shadows of the past, keep going, Aine!

It's almost finished; now it's time to wrap things up.

As I wrote further, I realized that the characters' growth was nearing its end, and the conflicts were gradually decreasing. The conflicts that everyone liked, such as the gravity of the lamp, Rikki as a pressure monster, and Sakiko's outburst of self-esteem, actually became less and less frequent later on. The closer the characters got to each other, the harder it became to write. I didn't want to keep dragging this out, so I just wanted to finish it smoothly and peacefully from now on.

I also want to mention the chapters that were previously blocked. They were blocked because I wrote about "SeSe". I originally wanted to release them as free chapters so I wouldn't make any money from them, but it seems that's not allowed. The review committee blocked the free chapters as well. If I get caught again, the book might be taken down, which would be a bit awkward. Some readers probably read the unedited version, and I have no objection to posting it in the book review section.

Also, if you want to continue reading Mygo fanfiction, you can check out "Strangers". I don't know the author and have never chatted with him, but he listed himself as a fan of Rikki's body in the interlude of a previous chapter. As a fan of the voice actor, Taiko, I think that's right. Also, we've both written Uma Musume fanfiction before, so it's quite a coincidence.

The book will be released on January 4th. I've written a million words in five months, which is considered quite diligent of me. If you think the later parts are bad, feel free to criticize, but it shouldn't be a fatal mistake. I hope this final chapter will provide a relatively complete ending to the six-month journey we've embarked on together. Thank you.

Chapter 268 Aine is no longer an experience girlfriend

The early winter moon in early December was a bit colder than usual, and its light made the room feel even colder as Chihaya Anon lay on the floor with her arms outstretched, humming softly.

"My finger hurts so much, it's bleeding again, and it feels numb."

"My arms are so sore I can't lift them."

"Speaking of which, why is the guitar so heavy?"

Chihaya Anon kept complaining as she raised her hand to look at the band-aid wrapped around her finger. It had a penguin pattern on it and was given to her by Takamatsu Akari after she saw that Chihaya was injured.

A week has passed since they decided to perform at the Kohaku Uta Gassen. During this week, the five members of Mygo have been practicing more and more frequently. After all, unlike commercial performances like those at the Tokyo Dome, the Kohaku Uta Gassen Japan's equivalent of the Spring Festival Gala. Even if most people don't watch it, they will still leave the TV on.

What if I accidentally see her perform that badly?

So, Chihaya Anon didn't make excuses for herself this week and started putting pressure on herself, leaving Shiina Riki with no opportunity to do so.

"But it's so tiring..."

Chihaya Anon couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, her mother's voice came from the doorway; the fashionable woman's tone carried an air of chic confidence and self-assurance.

"Aine, have you been too tired lately? How about you go to Ginza for a beauty treatment with Mom tomorrow?"

Ginza Beauty?

Chihaya Anon's eyes lit up.

This is absolutely her best shot zone!

"Let's forget it, I'm busy with something lately..." Chihaya Anon hesitated, more worried about holding Mygo's band members back than about beauty.

They are all very talented people, and I can't let myself be ridiculed on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen just because I play the guitar poorly.

"Aine, you have a boyfriend now, right? When are you going to bring him to meet me? If he's a womanizer, I won't approve..." her mother said again from the doorway.

You guessed them all correctly.

Chihaya Anon, blushing, said to the doorway, "I'm busy with an important turning point in my life, Mom, don't be surprised when the time comes!"

She's going to Kohaku Uta Gassen with Riki! That'll scare you to death, Mom!

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go by myself then."

Chihaya Anon heard her mother's footsteps fading away outside the door, then pulled the covers up and went to sleep.

Keep practicing hard tomorrow!

Ring's Cafe.

"Anon-chan doesn't look well. Didn't you get enough rest yesterday?" Nagasaki Sose asked worriedly, looking at Chihaya Anon's listless face.

Aine is a big, energetic dog. It's not normal for her to be so lethargic now. She must be sick or dying.

"My fingers hurt so much yesterday that I couldn't sleep," Chihaya Anon said pitifully.

"Everyone's been through this little injury, right?" Shiina Riki, wearing a Ring uniform, placed the parfait in front of Kaname Runa and said irritably with one hand on her hip.

"Huh?" Chihaya Anon's listless expression immediately perked up. She frowned and crossed her arms, humming as she retorted, "Rikki only needs to hold the drumsticks, how could she understand the pain of a guitarist like me getting my fingers cut? Guitar strings are very hard and sharp, compared to that, being a drummer is too easy!"

"What did you say?" Shiina Riki, annoyed.

"Well, Rikki- chan and Anon-chan, stop arguing. Rikki- chan, you're about to get off work, right? Sit down and rest for a while," Nagasaki Sose quickly said, smiling gently.

As soon as Riki walked in, she saw Su Shi trying to defuse the heated discussion.

Nagasaki Sose always saves Mygo from dire straits, but don't ask why Mygo is always in such a predicament.

Because it was Su Shi who first brought up the topic.

"Riki's here! How's Miao Meng doing?" Chihaya Anon asked happily when she saw Riki arrive.

Being able to Kohaku Uta Gassen) with Miaomeng and Chuhua would be worth dying for for her.

No, it's best not to die.

She hasn't lived to be eighty yet.

Chihaya Anon's goal is to live healthily to the age of eighty and then, as always, pass away peacefully during her afternoon nap, preferably without experiencing any pain.

"Everything is going very smoothly with Mujica. Although Miss Sanae's sudden suggestion to have Mana join the Kohaku Uta Gassen her panic for two days, everything is ready now," Riki said.

"... I see."

Chihaya Anon rested her elbows on the table, her hands supporting her chin as she murmured to herself, lost in thought.

She knew that Mana was also Riki's girlfriend—although when she asked Mana, Mana hurriedly waved her hand and said that she was just Miko, but Aine felt that her intuition was very accurate, Mana already regarded her as Riki's girlfriend.

Riki's harem is becoming increasingly alluring.

Chihaya Anon thought about what her mother had said to her about boyfriends yesterday. She had only wanted to experience what it was like to be a girlfriend, so she hadn't told her mother about Riki. But now she was increasingly reluctant to leave.

I feel like living like this for the rest of my life wouldn't be so bad.

"Riki, Rikki has no idea how painful it is to practice guitar..." Chihaya Anon quickly complained to Riki.

I understand; it's true that it's easy to feel pain when practicing an instrument.

It hurts just as much as carrying rice upstairs.

It hurt just as much when I attacked Konoha.

Riki thought for a moment and said, "Compared to drummers and guitarists, I actually think bassists are the laziest..."

Before Riki could finish speaking, Nagasaki Sose looked over with a smile.

"Riki, do you have any issues with Beth?" Nagasaki Sose asked with a smile.

"I meant Triangle Iron is the real slacker," Riki said without changing his expression. He noticed that Chihaya Anon still had a somewhat displeased look on her face, then glanced at Rikki and suddenly realized, "Rikki is worried about your hand, isn't he?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not true!"

Chihaya Anon blinked, looking at Rikki with a teasing expression.

"I'm off to practice!" Shiina Riki said irritably.

The group quickly followed, and Riki looked at Chihaya Anon and asked, "Your index finger was fine yesterday, how come it's injured today?"

Are girls really that fair-skinned and delicate?

Am I defining women by saying this?

Chihaya Anon gracefully took two steps back and whispered to Riki, "I stayed at Ring last night to have Rakuna-chan teach me. She lives nearby, so she can stay very late. If I practice guitar too late at home, it will disturb my mom who is putting on a face mask, and it wouldn't be good if she kicked me out of the house."

Chihaya Anon chuckled, "Although I'm very tired, the thought of being able to perform on such a big stage with everyone makes me very happy... and the thought of being able to brag to my friends afterwards gives me even more motivation!"

Therefore, we absolutely cannot run away this time!

After everyone finished practicing in Ring's practice room, Chihaya Anon and Kaname Runa stayed behind to continue practicing guitar.

"Rakuna-chan, the band-aid on my finger is so thick that I misplayed a string. Is there anything I can do?" Chihaya Anon asked, distressed.

"Then just don't play the wrong notes," Kaname Runa, with a candy in her mouth.

That's true.

Chihaya Anon sensed the mood that Riki was in when he was speechless, and sighed, "Alright, let's practice 'Kasugakage' a bit more. Rakuna-chan, please keep an eye on it for me..."

Kaname Runa to nod.

Chihaya Anon chuckled as she looked at Kaname Runa. Although Rakuna-chan never quite understood what she was thinking, she was definitely a reliable bandmate.

But somehow she also wanted to be Riki's Girlfriend.

Chihaya Anon played the guitar while thinking, practicing from 6 pm to 10 pm, until she was so tired that she leaned back in her chair and fell asleep soon after.

When she woke up, she found the practice room empty except for her. The room was dark and cold, and the winter chill made her rub her arms.

I checked my phone; it was 10:30 PM.

"Rakuna-chan isn't here. Did she go home? Why didn't she call me?" Chihaya Anon felt a little scared and muttered to herself to bolster her courage.

Ghost stories are most likely to occur in deserted places at night.

Chihaya Anon had heard several ghost stories about Ring from Rinrin-senpai.

It is said that there used to be a senior from Hanasakigawa here—don't ask why it's always Hanasakigawa, there are many geniuses there. This senior and the band members saw a fleeting figure here.

Chihaya Anon swallowed hard. "Let's go home early. Mom should be waiting for me there."

Chihaya Anon over her shoulder and pushed open the door to the practice room. The corridor outside was pitch black except for the green emergency exit sign, so dark that she could hear her own heart pounding faster and faster.

She gripped her guitar tightly and walked quickly when she suddenly heard soft footsteps.

Footsteps?

Could it be that terrifying figure?

Chihaya Anon froze, and suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Don't go." A voice came from behind.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, I'll leave right away!" Chihaya Anon hurriedly, tears streaming down her face.

"What are you talking about? I brought you a basin of hot water to soak your hands so they would feel better after you finish practicing. If you run away, all my efforts will have been for nothing!" Riki looked at the terrified Chihaya Anon.
