[TSSIM] Chapter 343: Wolf My Ass!
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 20:43:24 +0000 UTC"I'm back!"
Rin dashed inside her house, shouting to her mother.
"Welcome back, Rin—Wait! Why the rush?!"
Rin's mom looked puzzled as she watched her daughter's fleeting figure.
"Got something to do in my room!"
Rin's voice came from afar, followed by the sound of a door closing.
"She's been so busy lately..." Rin's mom shook her head. "But it seems like she's made a lot of friends. Even Hanayo's been more cheerful."
"But, Rin..."
She looked up, staring toward her daughter's room.
"When will you be able to break free from that curse?"
===
Hoshizora Residence, Rin's Room.
With the light in the room off and engulfed in complete darkness, Rin lay inside her blanket, feeling a bit restless.
"To think Rin could do something like that, nyaa..."
Rin muttered to herself, thinking about what happened earlier.
"Rin needs to calm down... it's just a forehead, right? Why am I so nervous?"
"But... what about the future?"
"Future..."
Images of affectionate scenarios and various romance scenes kept appearing in Rin's mind, almost causing her brain to malfunction.
Wrapped in her blanket, she kept rolling on her bed, and after rolling several times, she finally stopped.
Bzzz—
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Whoosh!
Rin instantly moved next to her phone, and with an expectant expression, she opened the message.
[Minamiya Homura: (Attached picture)]
As Rin looked at the picture Homura sent, her thoughts gradually calmed down.
It was a photo Homura had snapped, representing her surname, with a caption accompanying the photo.
[Minamiya Homura: It's a beautiful night sky, don't you think?]
Normally, Rin wouldn't catch the hidden meaning within someone's words, but looking at the picture, she inexplicably understood his meaning. {T/N: Rin's surname, Hoshizora, means Starry Sky.}
"Mm... You're right..."
Muttering softly, Rin began typing a reply.
===
"Hmm? Rin's reply already?"
Homura looked at his vibrated phone, pleasantly surprised.
"But what did she reply?"
[Hoshizora Rin: Thank you for bringing warmth to my heart.]
Reading Rin's reply, Homura almost dropped his jaw.
'Rin actually understands?!'
Rin's reply proved that the 'flame' from Homura had helped dispel the darkness within her heart with his 'warmth'. {T/N: Homura means Fire/Flame.}
"Heh..."
Amused, Homura walked home with a smile on his face.
===
"I'm back!"
Homura stood at the front door of his house without entering.
"Furuhashi-san, Ogata-san, Takemoto-san, Shirakawa-san, let's go!"
"Yes, Minamiya-kun, wait a moment, we'll be right there!" Fumino's voice came from inside.
In no time, Fumino and the other three came out, including Elf, Eriri, and Nayuta, who came to see them off. It would have been a bit much if everyone came to see Fumino's group off, so the three represented the rest of the girls.
As Eriri came closer, Homura, watching her expression and behavior, gave a wry smile.
'Here we go again, I bet she would say there's girl scent or something...' Homura sighed inwardly.
"As expected, there's girl scent!" Eriri jumped back in surprise. "Homura! Did you make a move on them?!"
Whoosh!
All eyes instantly focused on Homura.
"You know what? Your nose is as sharp as my ears." Homura quipped while rolling his eyes.
"You surely made a move on them!" Eriri continued adamantly.
"Did Senpai... turn into a wolf?" Nayuta remarked with gleaming eyes.
"Wolf my ass!" Homura retorted and then started to rub his chin. "But... made a move on them, huh... Did I?"
Hearing this, Eriri was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean by that?! You're not sure yourself?!" Eriri complained, stomping her foot in frustration.
Homura ignored her tantrum, still busy contemplating.
"It's a bit hard to explain... Well, whatever, I'll tell you when I'm done taking Fumino and the others home."
"Hmph, make it clear when you come back!" Eriri snorted and then turned to go inside.
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Homura, are you gonna make a move on them too this time?" Elf asked, glancing at Fumino and the other three.
Thud!
Hearing Elf's question, Eriri stumbled and fell to the ground.
"What does 'make a move' mean?" Rizu asked with a puzzled expression.
Fumino, disregarding her own embarrassment, leaned in close to Rizu's ear to explain.
"I mean..." Homura sighed, looking helpless. "Did you girls really treat me like a scumbag or something?"
"Hmph, if that were the case, you would've attacked us long ago!" Eriri stood up, speaking with a hint of annoyance. "Anyway, there must be some reason for this... Just get going already! I'm still waiting for your explanation, okay!"
Homura gave Eriri a wry smile and a thumbs-up as she went inside.
"Ri-chan! Ri-chan! Wake up!" Fumino shook Rizu's shoulders vigorously.
"Fumino? What happened to me?" Rizu woke up and asked with a confused expression.
"Well, you just passed out a moment ago... Ahahaha..."
Fumino felt a bit awkward, realizing that her explanation had only covered part of the matter.
"Passed out?"
Rizu quickly remembered Fumino's explanation from earlier, but this time, she hadn't passed out; she was just looking a bit absent-minded.
"Wow!" Uruka exclaimed in surprise, her face having a light blush. "Fuminocchi, what weird things did you say to Rizurin?"
"I didn't say anything weird, okay?!" Fumino quickly denied. "Probably Ri-chan just thought too much, but... it just shows she really lacks common sense, right? It's not my fault."
Hearing this, Homura nodded, feeling like Fumino was indeed telling the truth.
"Myaa-san! If Senpai makes a move on you, we can be together forever!"
Nayuta, shocking everyone, suddenly unleashed an AOE attack, causing Homura's lips to twitch while Miyako stumbled.
"Mou! Let's go already!" Miyako exclaimed with a blush, then escaped through the door.
"Myaa-san..." Nayuta stared blankly at the doorway.
Seeing this, everyone became worried.
Did Miyako's actions hurt Nayuta?
"I didn't expect Myaa-san to be so shy!" Nayuta continued with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was instantly speechless—they had been worried for nothing!
Nevertheless, Nayuta's reaction indicated that her past trauma was almost completely gone, making Homura wipe the sweat from his brow with an expression of relief.
"Let's go. I still have a few things to do tonight." Homura said before turning away.
"Um, we can't waste any more time." Fumino nodded, agreeing with him.
With that, Fumino and the others said their goodbyes to Elf and Nayuta before finally setting off with Homura.
