[TSSIM] Chapter 460: Hou? Are You Underestimating Me?
🕑 Added 2024-11-07 21:07:28 +0000 UTC"Yosh, I've admired all your beautiful figures already, so put your clothes back on. I don't want you all catching a cold because of this mall's air conditioner."
Upon hearing Homura's words, Fumino, Rizu, Uruka, Mafuyu, and Miyako nodded and returned to the fitting rooms to put on their original clothes.
Homura glanced around and suddenly felt that making swimsuits wouldn't be a problem at all.
Should he go for it?
However, maybe he should ask the girls for their thoughts first.
After a while, the five girls finally finished changing and exited the fitting rooms.
"You know, I just had a thought…" Homura muttered while closing his eyes.
"A thought?" Fumino asked, curious.
"Yeah..." Homura nodded with a smile, then opened his eyes. "I could make everyone some swimsuits."
As soon as he said this, the girls were speechless.
Such a topic came out of nowhere, suddenly talking about making swimsuits?
"Anyway, I'm asking what you all think. Should we keep buying, or let me make them?" Homura continued.
Upon hearing the question, the five girls exchanged glances, and after a quick chat, Miyako turned to Homura and spoke up.
"Can't we do both?"
"What do you mean?" Homura raised his eyebrows, feeling confused.
"What I mean is... the vacation trip will last several days, right? Having just one swimsuit might get a bit boring, don't you think?"
"Oh? In that case, I'll handle the second one!" Homura readily agreed. "I like the idea of giving you gifts like this since buying them just feels a bit less heartfelt."
'So that's why...'
Miyako and the others nodded in understanding.
Truthfully, they preferred it that way too.
Already decided to make swimsuits, Homura suddenly remembered Sagiri and Nayuta.
'Hmm, Sagiri and Nayu would probably ask me to make a few more...'
Of course, some girls at home would probably want to buy one themselves, enjoying the experience of shopping itself.
Just like today, after strolling around for so long, Homura and the five girls were mostly soaking in the joy of it.
"Alright, let's go buy some fabric!"
Homura declared, then left the swimsuit shop with the others.
===
Half an hour later.
Homura was walking ahead, carrying two huge bags, while the five girls followed behind, each with their things and a few smaller bags.
Meanwhile, Haru was happily walking beside Homura.
At this moment, their destination was the Minamiya residence since Homura had promised to cook dinner for the five girls at his place.
When he finally arrived home, the girls came out to greet him but were a bit taken aback by the huge bags in his hands.
Soon after, they noticed the five girls behind him.
"Myaa-san~!"
Nayuta exclaimed excitedly and ran over to Miyako.
Miyako happily responded, and they started chatting at the entrance.
At the same time, the other girls exchanged greetings with Fumino, Rizu, Uruka, and Mafuyu.
"Homura-kun, what's in those bags?"
Megumi asked curiously, looking at Homura with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, these? They're everyone's swimsuits." Homura grinned.
""Swimsuits?!""
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Some were skeptical, while others were overjoyed.
In the next moment, Honoka, Nico, and Rin eagerly bounced toward the huge bags in Homura's hands.
"I wanna see! I wanna see! What kind of swim... suits..."
Honoka was eager and excited, but when she pulled out a large piece of fabric from one of the huge bags, her words faltered.
"…"
Nico's eye twitched before she slowly turned to stare at Homura with a blank expression.
"Seriously, is this what you call a swimsuit? Are we supposed to wrap this around ourselves and pin it together with safety pins or something?"
"..."
Homura was at a loss for words.
"What the heck are you talking about? Nico, your thought process is pretty out there..."
"How can I not?! It's just fabric!" Nico retorted.
Homura suddenly looked at Kotori.
"If no one else gets it, Kotori should, right?"
Kotori raised her eyebrows in wonder, thought for a moment, and finally seemed to understand.
"Don't tell me, Homura-kun wants to make swimsuits for everyone himself?!" Kotori exclaimed in surprise.
""!!!""
As soon as she said that, the number of shocked faces instantly multiplied!
"Umu, when I saw a ton of swimsuits today, they gave me this idea." Homura nodded with a smile. "I think it's pretty good, don't you think so?"
"A ton of swimsuits?" Utaha raised her eyebrows. "If I remember right, Homura-kun, you went to Nana-san's pet shop today, right?"
"Yep."
"So what's up with the swimsuits?"
"Actually, when Haru and I went to Nana's shop, she ran into Hachi." Homura replied straightforwardly. "After that, she also wanted to see her other two siblings, so we ended up at Fumino's place."
"Let me guess, you helped Fumino and the others with their studies, and while chatting, swimsuits came up?" Elf chimed in. "Afterward, you guys went to the swimsuit shop, and when you saw a ton of swimsuits, you thought about your sewing skills, so you bought a bunch of fabric to bring back, right?"
"Oh! One hundred points for you!" Homura gave Elf a thumbs-up.
"Still, you can't just go to a swimsuit shop without buying anything, right?" Eriri chuckled.
"Of course, I didn't go empty-handed. Check out these bags." Homura pointed at his two huge bags. "I even picked swimsuits for Mafuyu and Fumino, you know."
Soon, he reached into one of the huge bags and pulled out a pair of swim trunks, clearly his own.
Seeing this, the girls were slightly dumbfounded and couldn't help but feel that the sight was odd.
"I didn't invite all of you because having too many people makes it easier for others to recognize us. If all of us went to the mall together, it'd probably go viral on the internet."
"..."
Hearing Homura's reasoning, the girls remained silent and had to admit that he was right.
"So, let's split up!" Homura continued. "We can divide into several groups, and I'll tag along with each one to buy your swimsuits!"
Upon hearing this, the girls smiled, as this was what they had wanted to hear.
In fact, they had been looking forward to shopping with him for a long time.
"Just pick what you like as much as you can. After that, I'll help you make a second one that suits you best. How does that sound?" Homura added, smiling slightly.
"I'll go with what Senpai says!" Nayuta raised her hand enthusiastically.
For a moment, the girls exchanged glances before nodding to each other.
"We're good with that." Eriri nodded, saying for everyone.
"By the way, I need to find time in the next couple of days to bring back two big tree stumps since I couldn't carry them today..." Homura sighed, shaking his head.
"…"
'Wait, you really plan to get big tree stumps?' Rin thought in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Mafuyu, looking confused, curiously asked Homura.
"Big tree stumps? For what?"
"Well…"
Homura briefly explained Haru's situation to everyone, and their eyes lit up with intrigue as they looked at the little cat.
Who would have thought something so small could be so powerful?
"But Homura… are you sure you can make swimsuits?" Eriri asked skeptically.
It was not without reason that she asked this.
Even though she was not well-versed in sewing or fashion, she knew that making swimsuits was on a whole different level of skill compared to the T-shirts Homura usually made.
"Hou? Are you underestimating me?"
Homura asked while raising his eyebrows before a confident grin appeared on his face.
"Everyone, come on in!"
Saying this, Homura grabbed the huge bags and headed to the living room.
Afterward, he went back to his room to grab his sewing tools, returned to the living room, and immediately got to work on the coffee table.
As the girls watched him in astonishment, various materials flew through his hands, getting cut and pieced together until they finally took shape.
Twenty minutes later, a new white bikini-style swimsuit with lace, different from Miyako's, was freshly made!
Homura walked up to the stunned Eriri with a big smile on his face and handed her the swimsuit.
"Eriri, mind giving it a try?"
