[TSSIM] Chapter 502: Muse's New Daily Schedule

Eventually, everyone's gazes turned strange since they had been talking for almost a minute by now, yet Honoka and Homura were still kissing.

Utaha watched with great interest while Eriri's right eye kept twitching.

Nayuta stared, looking all dreamy, but then she seemed to think of something and puffed up her cheeks in frustration.

Muramasa's face turned slightly red, looking flustered, unsure whether she should keep watching or not.

Meanwhile, Izumi, Sagiri, and Alisa covered their eyes with their hands, but they still peeked through the gaps in their fingers, thoroughly enjoying the scene.

As for Megumi, she was just a little surprised that Honoka would boldly kiss Homura in front of everyone.

Only Mashiro, looking super curious, watched intently.

She knew what the two were doing, but she was still curious about what it would feel like. If Nanami hadn't been holding her back, she would've already gotten closer to Homura and Honoka to observe.

Even Nozomi, who usually acted calm and bold, had her face turned red.

In the end, Nozomi, with a hesitant expression, spoke up.

"Honoka-chan... didn't you get too caught up in it?"

Upon hearing this, Yukiho's face became even redder.

What actually happened to her big sister?

Thanks to her big sister, she somehow ended up embarrassed too!

"Honoka-chan!"

Kotori tried to interrupt Honoka, who was so focused on kissing Homura that she forgot everything else.

It was still morning, broad daylight, after all—even if Honoka wanted to keep going, shouldn't it be in the evening?

"Honoka-chan—!!!"

Kotori shouted a bit louder, making Homura the first to stop.

Homura pulled back slightly, and seeing that Honoka was in a daze, he gently pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his shoulder while softly patting her back.

Time passed slowly, and as Honoka started to snap out of her daze, she noticed everyone's strange looks and remembered what had just happened.

Even Honoka, who was usually carefree and full of energy, felt way too embarrassed to face anyone right now—so embarrassed she just wanted to disappear!

"Amazing, nyaa~" Rin muttered in admiration.

"Um! It was even better than what I saw on TV!" Hanayo chimed in, seeming kind of excited.

"I thought Honoka would stop after a little, but she almost lost herself in it..." Maki remarked with a strange look on her face.

Upon hearing their words, Honoka snuggled even closer into Homura's arms, feeling beyond embarrassed.

"Well, I almost got caught up in it myself..." Homura said with a wry smile. "If I hadn't heard Kotori, I wouldn't have snapped out of it so quickly."

"Okay, Honoka, stop hiding! Where did that brave spirit from earlier go?" Umi said impatiently.

Honoka had been squirming in Homura's arms for a while before finally poking her head out, her face flushed.

She had prepared herself mentally to face everyone's teasing, but clearly, she had overthought it since no one was planning to tease her.

"Now that we've decided we won't give up on either the game or the tournament, we'll have to make sure we manage our time as best as we can!"

Umi clapped her hands and spoke to the rest of Muse's members seriously.

"So, I'll be the one to make the schedule!"

Honoka's mouth twitched upon hearing this, her embarrassment quickly fading away, replaced by dread over Umi's terrifyingly detailed schedule.

Nevertheless, no one said anything.

If they usually had time to slack off or play around, this time, if they still thought that way, they would be letting everyone down—especially Homura, who had done so much for them.

Now, the last thing they wanted was to let Homura down.

"Homura-kun." Umi turned her head, looking seriously at Homura. "Please tell me the specific schedule for the voice-acting lessons and estimate the time needed for the massages. We can't be so casual this time."

"Actually, the lessons aren't in a rush." Homura shrugged. "Since the techniques I taught you before should be enough for the game, all that's needed is more practice and exchanging experiences, so I'll leave the time arrangement to you."

Hearing this, Umi nodded and then asked again.

"What about the time needed for the massages? Is it still about ten minutes per person like before?"

Homura thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Not necessarily. It depends on how intense your practice is, but I don't think it'll go over fifteen minutes."

"Got it. I'll make a schedule for each person." Umi nodded, looking completely serious.

"Um... Umi-nee..." Alisa hesitantly raised her hand. "What about me and Yukiho?"

"You two can just focus on practicing voice acting with us." Umi smiled lightly. "As for the rest of the time, you can arrange it yourselves."

"Umi-chan... can I ask why you're making a schedule for each person? Isn't everyone's schedule pretty much the same?" Rin asked carefully.

"It's pretty much the same, but there are still some differences, like the time for massages and showers." Umi explained seriously. "I don't plan on having one person get a massage while the others are just waiting around doing nothing."

Umi's passionate and intense aura rose, along with a dark aura.

"Hehe... Be prepared! I won't let you waste a single second!"

As soon as Umi said this, Nico, Rin, and Honoka looked like they had lost all hope—even the others started sweating nervously.

"I haven't seen such a spartan version of Umi in a while..." Elf remarked while nervously swallowing her saliva.

"Yeah... I thought this version of Umi only existed in Homura's manga..." Eriri responded in a whisper, not daring to speak too loudly.

"No matter what she's like normally, this time, I totally support Umi's approach." Utaha chuckled lightly. "If you wanna excel in both sides in a short amount of time, you absolutely can't afford to slack off."

Before long, the girls watched as Umi asked Homura for ten sheets of paper, made a rough schedule on one of them, and then carefully went over it again before finalizing the complete schedule.

Umi then copied each schedule for Muse's nine members onto the remaining sheets of paper before finally flipping the rough schedule over.

Finished with organizing everyone's schedules, Umi handed the nine sheets of paper containing schedules for each member of Muse directly to Homura.

"Homura-kun, here are the schedules I set up. Are they okay?"

Homura took the schedules and glanced over them.

As he read them, he had to admit—they definitely had Umi's style.

Woke up at six, washed up, did morning exercise, had breakfast, then half an hour of voice acting practice to help with digestion, and then dancing practice.

Afterward came lunch, followed by singing practice, another round of dancing practice, and after that was massage time.

While one person was getting a massage, the others had to practice voice acting, and once the massages were done, it was time for dinner.

In the evening, the rest of the time was dedicated to voice acting practice, and when the time reached 9:30, it was time to wash up before sleeping at 10.

Needless to say, before the Love Live tournament started, this would be Muse's new daily schedule.
