[TSSIM] Chapter 320: Infiltration
🕑 Added 2023-12-17 21:16:21 +0000 UTCMeanwhile, the final topic being fervently discussed was, of course, about Tohsaka Sakura, or rather, Matou Sakura.
Even without specific contexts provided by Homura, the portrayal of Sakura, personally created by Nayuta, still made a stunning impression like a Yamato Nadeshiko.
Particularly when paired with Kotori's voice, Sakura truly captivated countless hearts!
However, because Nayuta was a girl, going overboard with the plot like in the original work was clearly impossible.
Regardless, she found another way.
She wrote that the Crest Worms inside Sakura had been modified by Zouken, leaving behind restraints to control her. Whenever the Crest Worms in her body went out of control, her body would become unbearably itchy, and the only way to endure the itching was to inflict pain on herself to offset it.
She lived every day in self-torture.
If she didn't have strong willpower, the itching would already drive her insane.
However, sometimes, she even wished she could just go insane and end it all, but as a tool of Zouken, how could he allow her to go insane?
As for the scumbag Shinji, who couldn't keep his pants on, the coward didn't dare get close to Sakura when she was losing it, because Nayuta wrote a scene where Sakura, tormented by the itching, went on a rampage and ended up smashing one of his balls!
When Homura read this part, cold sweat ran down his back.
He couldn't help but think that if it weren't for healing magecraft, that would be the end of Shinji!
Nevertheless, it was precisely because of these unknown moments of rampage, contrasting with Sakura's usual gentle behavior, that people felt even more sympathetic.
Unbeknownst to Homura, he was once again criticized by the people for this.
No choice.
As the leader of Another Dimension, even though Nayuta was the one who wrote it, it was still his fault.
===
After finishing the program, Homura gave it a test run to ensure there were no problems before packing up his laptop.
Eventually, Homura called Chika.
"Hello, Chika. I've got a new idea, so tomorrow, just come over directly to my place." Homura said right off the bat.
"Homura-kun? What do you mean by idea?" Chika asked, puzzled.
"Well... it's something I can't really talk about, but trust me, when you come over tomorrow, you'll be able to see Kaguya."
"Kaguya-san? You can't talk about it now? Is it dangerous or something?"
"No, but the fewer people who know, the better. Otherwise, it might be game over before I even start." Homura explained briefly.
"Ohh... okay, I won't ask then..." Chika paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Homura-kun, Moeha can't make it tomorrow since she has plans with her friends. I forgot to mention it when I called you last time."
"Moeha? Ah, alright, got it."
"Since you already have the solution, I can finally play Fate/stay night!" Chika exclaimed happily.
'It seems like she couldn't play before because of Kaguya's situation, huh? Chika... you really cared for her...' Homura sighed, shaking his head. "Don't you want me to drop off the physical copy for you?"
"No, can't wait that long!"
"Hmm..." Homura pondered for a moment before giving a suggestion. "How about this, you're going for the digital copy, right? I'll bring you the physical copy tomorrow, and if you have any special preferences, I can add some extras for you."
"Eh? So many things? It feels like I won't be able to hide them all!" Chika's voice sounded a bit distressed.
'I forgot...' Homura remembered. 'Chika can only play in secret, and giving her a bunch of stuff might not be easy to hide from her family. Not everyone can hide things as well as Kirino, after all.'
He sighed and shook his head again.
"Anyway, let's talk about it when you come over tomorrow. I've also prepared a little gift for you."
"A little gift?! Heehee, I'm looking forward to it!" Chika giggled enthusiastically. "By the way, I gotta hang up now, Homura-kun. Bye-bye~"
"Yeah, bye."
After hanging up, Homura thought for a moment.
"Forget it, since Chika is the only one planning to pick up Kaguya, informing her should be enough..." Homura muttered to himself.
He neatly organized some items and packed them in a backpack, ready for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, huh..."
Homura murmured to himself, looking out the window.
===
Sunday.
Today, Homura got up early.
Although there wasn't enough time to cook breakfast for everyone, preparing some ingredients was still doable.
At the same time, he also made two bento boxes.
He wasn't sure if Kaguya would have breakfast, so it was best to be prepared.
Moreover, Ai probably wouldn't join them this time either.
Every time, Ai ended up cleaning up after Kaguya, but he couldn't really do anything to help her, so he could only make some food for her.
By the way, the two bento boxes had different kinds of dishes, but both were suitable for reheating.
However, if Kaguya had already eaten breakfast, then both bento boxes could go to Ai.
Once the bento boxes were done, he tossed them into his inventory, changed into a gray tracksuit, and headed out with his backpack.
After leaving the Minamiya residence, he also tossed his backpack into the inventory and started jogging, greeting others who were out for their morning exercise as he chose a special route toward the Shinomiya residence.
As for taking a taxi?
It was obviously out of the question.
Showing up in a tracksuit was just a precaution, though he was confident he wouldn't get caught.
===
When Homura arrived outside the Shinomiya residence and checked the time, it was already 6:40.
He took out his backpack, placed the bento boxes from the inventory inside, and then fiddled with the entrance camera's feed to show a loop of an empty scene.
Following this, he turned his phone to silent mode, and with his nimble skills, he effortlessly entered the Shinomiya residence's backyard.
Slipping on his backpack and pulling down the hood of his tracksuit, he nearly blended in with the house's exterior.
After assessing potential points of danger, he quickly reached the top of the two-story building.
"Phew... Where should I tie the rope?"
Homura scanned the area and spotted a chimney.
"Hmm, they have a chimney? A fireplace, maybe? Whatever, it'll do."
Observing Kaguya's room below, Homura pulled out a rope.
"Good thing I bought a long one."
"I hope this chimney is sturdy... but since it's the Shinomiya family, it should be fine, right?"
Shaking his head, Homura let the rope dangle down to the eaves.
"It looks like the room with the fireplace has to be right below Kaguya's room... if not, the rope and the eaves won't line up, and that'll be a hassle."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Homura immediately dialed Kaguya's number.
Unfortunately, the call was rejected.
"Huh?"
Homura was confused, but the next moment, he received a message.
[Shinomiya Kaguya: I'm having breakfast now. I'll reply once I'm back in my room.]
"Good grief... I thought something went wrong for a moment..."
Homura sighed in relief, keeping the phone in hand without putting it away.
He lay on the rooftop, avoiding drawing attention to himself and patiently waiting for Kaguya's response.
