[TSSIM] Chapter 491: I Want to Have Those Dreams!
🕑 Added 2025-01-19 21:43:37 +0000 UTC"Well, if you put it that way, Homura-kun has really become a star now…" Megumi remarked while glancing at Homura. "When Homura-kun appeared, it was like the influence of a celebrity."
"Whose fault do you think this is?" Homura shrugged.
Muse: "..."
"Ahahaha..." Honoka chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of her head.
"Well, isn't it because Homura-kun is always spoiling us?" Nozomi smiled sweetly. "You know we'll do some mischievous stuff, but instead of stopping us, you actually go along with it."
Upon hearing this, Homura gave a helpless smile.
"Alright, alright, I guess I've got half of the blame."
Even though the girls felt a bit shy after hearing Nozomi's words, they had to agree since they were aware that Homura had indeed spoiled them rotten.
Truthfully, aside from being unable to have him all to themselves, they were all already pleased and content.
Nevertheless, there had to be a limit.
Like today, it wasn't a big deal to Homura—if anything, it was just a bit of fun. However, if it went past certain limits, it was not impossible for their relationship to have a crack because of it.
"By the way, Mya-nee, are you directly heading home later?" Homura asked Mya-nee, changing the topic.
Mya-nee had gotten used to the way Homura called her, so her expression didn't even change when he called her 'Mya-nee'.
"Mm, Hinata's waiting for me to play with her. She said that she can't be with me later, so she wants to make sure we have enough time to play now."
As she talked about her little sister, Mya-nee showed a gentle, yet slightly helpless smile.
"In that case, let's head out now. I'm guessing most of the students have already left, so let's take a side street to avoid causing a commotion." Homura patted his butt and stood up.
"Anoo… I think I'll go back on my own…" Mya-nee said with some hesitation.
"It's fine, we're gonna pass your home anyway." Homura said with a smile.
Indeed, while there wasn't just one route home, the routes were all about the same distance, so why not just choose the one that happened to align with Mya-nee's route?
"Um... alright then..." Mya-nee nodded with a small smile.
Honestly, she didn't really want to refuse such a small gesture of kindness, or else she would just make things unnecessarily distant between them.
With that, the group started walking.
"By the way, it's a real shame that Mugi, Kaguya, and the others didn't come today." Eriri spoke up, breaking the silent atmosphere. "I mean, Homura actually sang for once. They must've wanted to hear it."
"It couldn't be helped. Sakuragaoka and Shuchi'in are a bit far from here." Homura said while shrugging. "Honoka and the others couldn't just make all the students wait for another half hour, right? Now that it's break time, everyone's excited, and the fact that they showed up for the concert just shows how much they love Muse. Honoka and the others should take extra care of the fans from their own school, right?"
What Homura said was indeed right.
Moreover, since the concert was so short, it wasn't even possible to catch half of it, so the girls who couldn't attend might as well watch the recording later.
As for Fumino and the others, even though they could've come, they gave up this time because Mafuyu was a teacher with a lot of work, so she couldn't come. Knowing this, they couldn't just leave Mafuyu alone and go watch the concert without her.
In the end, the only ones who could make it were Homura and the girls in Another Dimension, plus Mya-nee.
"Wow~! So many people on our page are rushing us to upload the video already!" Hanayo suddenly exclaimed in a surprised voice.
"You always find out about this stuff so fast, huh, Hanayo..." Homura shook his head and chuckled.
"Already pushing us this much? Aren't they a bit too eager?" Umi squinted her eyes.
"Yeah, it's impossible to upload the video now. I still need to edit it, after all..." Eli shook her head. "At the earliest, I won't be able to upload it until tonight."
"What are those people saying?" Nico asked, her interest piqued. "Never mind, I'll just check it myself."
"Oy, watch the road..." Homura said, speechless.
"It's fine, it's fine~" Nico waved her hand and pulled out her phone.
Seeing this, Homura thought for a moment, then walked over to Nico, glancing at her phone. Thanks to this, not only could he stop her from tripping, but he could also see what Muse's fans were saying.
Nico fiddled with her phone for a bit, and soon Homura saw it.
[Comment 1: Yo, upload the concert vid already!]
[Comment 2: YESSS!]
[Comment 3: Concert vid? What concert?]
[Comment 4: Bruh, seriously? It's today's Muse concert!]
[Comment 5: WTF! Muse performed today?! How the heck did I miss that?!]
[Comment 6: LOL, today's concert felt more like a private concert for Otonokizaka. It was just students and parents, no outsiders, y'know?]
[Comment 7: Damn, I'm sooo jealous!]
[Comment 8: Can you believe that just three months ago, Otonokizaka was gonna shut down, and now it's a place everyone wanna get into...]
[Comment 9: Right?! My little bro almost put on a dress just to take the entrance exam.]
[Comment 10: Holy crap!]
Homura: "…"
Dressing as a girl to enroll in an all-girls school?
Was this some crazy plot from a shoujo anime, or what?
Thankfully, unlike Japan in the previous world, Japan in the current world was different, as everyone's identity information was quite thorough. If it weren't, something like that could really happen.
[Comment 11: BTW, what happened to the alternative story Minamiya-sensei mentioned? Don't tell me it's been dropped or something?]
[Comment 12: No way, Minamiya-sensei isn't gonna bail on it!]
[Comment 13: I think... maybe it's gonna be officially serialized? Let's check again tomorrow! If it's still not up by then, we'll start a petition to get the alternative story updated!]
Homura: "..."
"Honoka... maybe upload part of the alternative story tomorrow? It's almost a petition at this point." Homura said, looking utterly speechless.
Honoka: "..."
"Almost forgot!" Honoka exclaimed, patting her own forehead. "If Homura-kun hadn't reminded me, I might've really forgotten about that story!"
"Don't worry, Honoka. I've got it covered..." Umi sighed helplessly. "Even if you forget later, I'll remind you tomorrow."
"Heehee... thanks, Umi-chan~!" Honoka said, happily rubbing against Umi.
"By the way, Homura, do you have the recording of the song you were singing earlier?" Elf asked curiously.
"Nope, only the instrumental music..." Homura replied, shaking his head, then pulled out the USB stick Honoka had given him earlier and waved it around.
"Well, why don't you record it now?" Elf grinned mischievously.
"Hmm? What are you planning?" Homura asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
'Do you really think I'm going to blast your song in the plaza or something? Why are you so cautious?!' Elf thought silently, then spoke with an annoyed expression. "What else? I want to listen to it, of course! It's to help me sleep!"
"Sleep? You know, this isn't exactly a relaxing song, is it? You're using it to help you sleep?" Homura raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, seriously. If you're using that song to sleep, you're probably going to have some crazy dreams." Eriri chimed in.
"I want to have those dreams!" Elf said confidently, as if it was totally obvious, then mumbled softly. "Homura isn't going after me right now, so what's wrong with having a dream of it..."
Everyone: "?!"
Nayuta, after hearing Elf's mumble, had her eyes instantly light up before raising her right hand.
"Senpai! I want it too!"
Homura: "..."
