[TSSIM] Chapter 414: Visiting Mya-nee's Home
🕑 Added 2024-07-23 21:35:34 +0000 UTCOn the way, Homura, Utaha, and Kotori had a brief chat as they followed Mya-nee to her home.
"I'm back."
""Sorry for intruding!"" (×3)
"Mya-nee~! Welcome back!"
Suddenly, a small figure ran out and jumped into Mya-nee's arms.
Upon seeing this scene, Homura felt a sense of deja vu, like he was seeing his own Haru welcoming him home.
Kotori and Utaha were also amazed. After all, the voice that Homura imitated before was truly spot-on, and this scene was something they had imagined in their minds, giving them a feeling of familiarity.
"Yeah~ I'm back, Hinata." Mya-nee smiled and patted Hinata's little head. "By the way, Hinata, we have guests."
"Oh~!" Hinata looked at the three people behind her sister. "Mya-nee! Are they your friends?"
"Uhh... No..."
Mya-nee's eye twitched, but it was hidden by her long bangs, so no one noticed.
"So Mya-nee still doesn't have any friends!"
Hinata was truly blunt, even in front of others, stabbing straight to the heart!
Mya-nee immediately bent over in disappointment.
Seeing this, Utaha and Kotori's eyes also twitched.
Really, this little sister was something else.
Only Homura was calm since he already knew Hinata's antics.
"Hello! I'm Hinata, Hoshino Hinata!" Hinata raised her hand with a smile.
Homura squatted down, giving a warm smile.
"Hello to you too. I'm Minamiya Homura, this is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and this is Minami Kotori. Although we aren't friends with your sister yet, we're working on it."
"That's great, Mya-nee, you're going to have friends!" Hinata shouted to her big sister.
Mya-nee, feeling another stab to the heart, was about to cry.
"Hmm? Minami Kotori...?"
Hinata suddenly paused, as if recalling something, and looked at Kotori with a surprised expression.
"Ahh! A character from the manga came to life!"
"Hinata!" Mya-nee jumped up immediately. "You can't say things like that! Didn't I tell you? They came first, and then the manga!"
"Ohh~" Hinata clapped her hands together. "I forgot for a moment! Mya-nee, you reminded me!"
"It's okay, Hoshino-senpai, no need to mind it too much." Kotori smiled and shook her head.
At this point, many people already knew about the nine of them from the manga, so this wasn't the first time she had heard such comments, and she was used to it.
"But..."
Mya-nee hesitated, but Kotori continued to shake her head.
"Mya-nee~ Aren't you going to invite everyone inside?" Hinata reminded.
"..."
'It's all your fault, I forgot!' Mya-nee screamed inwardly, then turned to the three guests. "Everyone, come on in!"
"No need to trouble yourself." Homura said, watching Mya-nee start preparing things for them.
"No, it's no trouble."
At this moment, since Mya-nee hadn't completely turned into a hikikomori yet like in the anime, she could still have a normal conversation after a brief interaction.
At the same time, Kotori was chatting with Hinata.
"Why aren't you wearing the outfit from the manga today?" Hinata asked, looking at Kotori's clothes and with a curious expression.
"Because I don't have a performance today. Besides, even in the manga, I usually wear this school uniform, right?" Kotori smiled slightly, finding it quite fun to talk with the little girl.
"Oh~" Hinata nodded understandingly. "I thought you forgot. If you did, Mya-nee has plenty of them!"
As soon as Hinata said that, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, especially Mya-nee herself, who had started to freeze, cold sweat pouring down her face.
Homura smiled without saying anything, while Kotori exchanged a glance with Utaha, their eyes conveying—"She really does have them!"
"Please, you must show me, Hoshino-senpai." Kotori said with a smile.
"...Let's have some water and snacks first!" Mya-nee forced a smile, quickly finished preparing the remaining snacks, and brought them out.
Everyone watched her as she smiled, though her smile looked a bit awkward.
"Yosh, let's try cookies made by Hoshino-senpai first!" Homura said with a smile, picking up a cookie and tasting it. "Umu, it's delicious."
"Um." Kotori nodded. "It looks delicious. Did you make all of this yourself, Hoshino-senpai?"
"That's right!" Hinata said proudly. "Mya-nee made all of this! Mya-nee's cakes are the best in the world!"
"Hinata, there are many people who make better cakes than your sister!" Mya-nee immediately denied her little sister's claim.
"Mya-nee's are still the best!" Hinata shook her head vigorously.
As everyone took a small piece of cake, Utaha and Kotori remained composed, but Homura was seriously tasting it.
'Hmm... just based on the sweets, she's probably at Level 6...? Well, that's impressive...' Homura nodded inwardly.
"Umu, I also think your Mya-nee's cakes are the best in the world." Homura said, ruffling Hinata's hair.
"Heehee~" Hinata gave him a thumbs up.
"Hahaha..." Homura laughed heartily.
Seeing their interaction, Kotori smiled softly, her gaze toward Homura growing even more tender.
Meanwhile, while Mya-nee felt a bit embarrassed by the interaction between the two, Utaha smiled helplessly.
'Homura's gentleness has never changed, huh...' Utaha remarked inwardly, then silently mouthed to Homura that said—"You lied."
"..." Homura was silent for a moment, then mouthed back—"Sorry..."
'Seriously, no one was blaming you...' Utaha smiled faintly, shaking her head helplessly.
===
After having some snacks, Kotori suggested once again that she wanted to see the clothes Mya-nee had made.
Even though Mya-nee felt a bit helpless, she had no choice other than to take Kotori to her room.
Utaha and Hinata followed them, leaving Homura alone in the living room.
"Um... Minamiya-san, why don't you come along too?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Mya-nee extended an invitation to Homura.
"Oh, I'm fine, don't worry about me. I'll just do something else." Homura replied, shaking his backpack.
"Don't worry about it, Hoshino-san. Homura-kun is a guy, so he offered to stay behind." Utaha chimed in.
"Hoshino-senpai, we'll be back soon after we check out the clothes. It won't take long." Kotori added.
Upon hearing their words, Mya-nee was speechless for a moment. Clearly, they were the guests, yet she, the host, was being taken care of by them.
"...Okay, we'll be quick." Mya-nee nodded and led them inside her room.
Needless to say, this situation was unavoidable. Not every girl had the boldness of Fumino to let a boy she just met into her room.
Because of this, Homura decided not to follow them and thought it would be better to find something to do. After thinking for a moment, he took out his drawing tools.
However, as Homura had just started drawing, he heard the front door open.
'Hmm? It's probably Mya-nee's mother, Hoshino Chizuru, coming back home?' Homura thought to himself.
However, he didn't budge and continued drawing.
As the sound of footsteps approached, the newcomer didn't say anything but slowly walked up to Homura's side to watch him draw.
When Homura finished his drawing, the newcomer beside him finally spoke.
"That's an amazing drawing! It's as good as a photograph!"
"Are you Hoshino-senpai's mother?" Homura stood up and smiled politely.
"Umu, that's right."
Chizuru, who appeared like a youthful woman, nodded.
"I'm Miyako's mother, Hoshino Chizuru. I didn't expect Miyako to bring a boy home though..."
