[TSSIM] Chapter 327: A Comedian
🕑 Added 2024-01-02 20:16:21 +0000 UTC"Alright, let me help."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Eli quickly stepped in.
"Homura-kun can recover the video, and I'll edit out 'that' part."
Upon hearing the fantastic idea, no one objected.
After all, the video was not only precious to Homura but also very precious to the Light Music Club.
"Okay, let's get to work!"
Homura took out his laptop and began recovering the deleted video.
Dealing with trivial matters like this was a breeze for him, almost enjoyable, even.
Later on, after he succeeded in recovering the deleted video, Eli immediately edited it.
After Mio watched the edited video to make sure it was 'safe', the panty incident concluded.
"Oh, right! Senpai! You promised me tea eggs! You did make them, right?"
Yui suddenly remembered something and asked Homura with eyes filled with anticipation.
As Homura watched Yui, he had to admit that her 'eye technique' was no less impressive than Honoka's and Kotori's.
"Tea eggs, huh..." Homura muttered, seemingly pondering something.
"Homuhomu-senpai...?"
Seeing Homura's action, Yui's expression turned worse, almost on the verge of tears.
"Well, they should be perfectly seasoned by now." Homura grinned mischievously.
"Homura-niisan is definitely teasing Yui-chan..." Tsumugi said with a hint of annoyance.
"Well..." Homura stroked his chin before turning to Ritsu. "Ritsu, you should understand this feeling too, right?"
"Hmm? Ahh!" Ritsu was confused for a moment before slapping her palm. "Yeah! Yui's expression just makes you want to always tease her!"
"Eh?! How can you say that, Ricchan?!" Yui exclaimed, looking at Ritsu with teary eyes. "Ricchan, we're good friends, right?"
"Of course! That's why I tease you!" Ritsu gave a thumbs up.
"So depressing..." Yui's shoulders dropped.
Seeing this, Homura shook his head and chuckled before getting up to fetch a pot of tea eggs.
"Seriously, not turning this into a manga is such a waste..." Ayano muttered, wearing a disappointed expression.
"Manga?" Mashiro overheard and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Ayano nodded. "Mashiro, don't you think their daily lives are interesting? Turning it into a manga would be perfect, don't you think?"
"Wait? By turning it into a manga, do you mean like our manga?" Nico asked in surprise.
Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to Nico's words, even distracting Rin, who had been focused on Haru.
""What?!""
At the same moment, everyone from the Light Music Club was shocked, exclaiming simultaneously.
"Is that real?!" Ritsu asked, her expression turning excited.
"Why do our daily lives turn into a manga?! No way, no way, no way!" Mio shook her head frantically.
"First time hearing about it... Hmm~! It's tasty! So, this is the taste of tea eggs?" Yui casually remarked, then continued eating a tea egg.
"Homura-niisan, we've never heard about this!" Tsumugi said to Homura, who had just sat down.
Homura shrugged his shoulders.
"Ayano mentioned it to me before, but I didn't agree. I told her to tell you all herself, but..."
He paused and glanced at Ayano.
"It's been so long, and you never contacted them even once, Ayano?"
"Ahaha... I got busy and somehow forgot about it..." Ayano awkwardly scratched her head.
"Why didn't Minamiya-senpai agree?" Ritsu asked curiously.
"I agree or not, what difference does it make?" Homura shrugged again. "It's about your daily lives, so the decision is on you, not me. Just like Muse, if they didn't agree, Love Live! wouldn't exist as a manga."
After listening to his reason, Kotori nodded in agreement.
"Yes, in the beginning, Homura-kun and Ayano-san asked for my opinion. Afterward, Honoka-chan quickly agreed, and then we convinced Umi-chan. By the way, everyone joined Muse only after agreeing to it."
"Shoot... Mio would never agree to this..." Ritsu muttered, and her mood instantly dropped.
Being the protagonist of a manga?
It must be amazing, right?
"I talked to Homura a lot back then, but he thought turning your daily lives into a manga wasn't a good idea."
Ayano explained to everyone.
"Unlike Muse, their theme is about hard work and pursuing their dreams, while their daily lives are relatively scarce."
"However, in your case, daily life would take up a significant part, and here comes the problem—if it's fiction, it's fine, but unfortunately, it's not."
Upon hearing Ayano's explanation, all the girls nodded in understanding, realizing that exposing their privacy to the public wasn't a good idea.
"Like my manga?" Mashiro asked, tilting her head.
"Mashiro, are you suggesting changing the name and character?" Homura raised an eyebrow.
Mashiro nodded.
Indeed, that could be a solution.
However, would it still be the Light Music Club?
Homura couldn't get past this question in his mind.
"Forget it!" Ritsu chimed in abruptly, shaking her head. "It would be creepy to watch someone you don't recognize doing things you've done, saying things you've said."
If even the original protagonist felt that way, Mashiro's suggestion was abandoned.
"Actually, there's one more thing—a solution I considered."
With a smile on his face, Homura spoke up.
"Even if you were to be drawn into a manga, there are two possible themes. One is a band theme, and the other is a daily life theme. In your case, the band theme is too limited to draw, so if it were to be drawn, it would purely be a comedy manga about daily life..."
"In other words... when manga fans see you guys, they might say something like, 'Ah! You're the Light Music Club from Sakuragaoka, right? I know you! I've read your manga! It's hilarious, really! Always makes me laugh until my stomach hurts!'"
Upon hearing this, the girls couldn't help but suppress their laughter.
Needless to say, such a scene would be like being treated as a comedian.
Tsumugi didn't seem to mind, but Ritsu had a face full of dark lines—clearly couldn't accept it.
If that kind of situation really happened, wouldn't it be awkward?
"Ahh... I'm not interested anymore..." Ritsu sighed, her shoulders dropping.
"Yes, that's why I've been refusing all along!" Mio nodded vigorously.
"Huh? Aren't you just shy, Mio?" Ritsu glanced at Mio, raising an eyebrow. "I'm different! I really want to be drawn as a cool manga character, not a comedian!"
'Ritsu, you're already a true comedian!'
Everyone quipped inwardly in unison.
Of course, no one would say it out loud—maybe, if Yui weren't busy eating tea eggs, she might actually say it.
"Eh, Yui-chan?! Why are you still eating?! You've eaten too much!" Tsumugi hurriedly went to stop Yui from eating more tea eggs.
"I can't help it! They're too delicious!" Yui complained.
"You've even got it on your face!" Mio sighed, then pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Yui's face.
"Thanks, Mio-chan!"
Seeing this scene, Tsumugi blushed.
Homura, covering his face speechlessly, wondered how Tsumugi had developed this habit.
'Was it because she had been exposed to yuri-themed works? No, that's not likely... Maybe she had witnessed real scenes at her previous all-girls school?' {T/N: Yuri is Girls' love.}
Homura was stupefied by his own assumption.
A school filled with love between girls?
No way, right?
Homura shook his head to stop his messy thoughts and got up to return to his room.
Before long, he returned with a large box.
"Anyone want some posters?"
Homura asked everyone, showing a large box filled with various character posters from Fate/stay night.
"I want Saber's poster... I only got Illya's poster before..." Umi said somewhat shyly.
'Understandable, after all, you're Saber's VA.'
Homura remarked inwardly before handing a poster of Saber to Umi.
Meanwhile, Kotori asked for Sakura's poster, while the others chose posters of their favorite characters.
Soon enough, the large box was more than half empty.
