Interesting. So she didn't go to the concert. I was assuming because of the >4 hour time gap between Chizuru showing up and Aya arriving at Koga's that she had stayed for the concert, but thinking about it, that's also because I was assuming that both the shop and the concert were in Tokyo. But if she left right away, and took from 4:10ish to 9:04 to get to Mitsuki's, that implies a rather hefty travel time. I was hoping this was telling us they were in Tokyo, but it seems like they could be almost anywhere from Hiroshima up to Fukushima , depending on whether this was the Osaka or Tokyo show. (It could also just be that the author isn't thinking that deeply about the setting, but given the details they like to include I'd be surprised if they didn't choose a real concert on purpose.)
So depending on where Mitsuki's shop is relative to the train station, that means that Aya sat on AT LEAST a 4 hour train ride to get to the city with the venue, expecting to see her oshi, and then had to sit for another 4 hours on the way back, after that disappointment.
That makes this SO MUCH WORSE, Mitsuki, you absolute DUNCE.
Looks like Chizuru went ahead to the concert anyway, though. Which is unsurprising, because if I sat on a train for four hours to go to a concert, and I don't have an idiot no-show girlfriend to go strangle, I'M GOING TO THE GODDAMN CONCERT.
(Edit: I guess the other possibility is that while she left right away, it actually took awhile and a number of unanswered texts for Aya to work up the nerve to confront Mitsuki directly.)
