[TSSIM] Chapter 431: Good Things are Meant to be Shared?

[Comment 18: By the way, Minamiya-sensei is actually named Minamiya Homura, huh...]

[Comment 19: Yeah, just like everyone thought. Not that surprising.]

[Comment 20: But, you know, Yamada-sensei actually called him by his first name... Could it mean something...?]

[Comment 21: Kinda getting a creepy vibe from your comment...]

[Comment 22: Forget the creepiness, Otonokizaka's school festival is this weekend! Anyone going? Let's meet up!]

[Comment 23: Same here, wanna meet up too.]

[Comment 24: Hold up, are you a girl?! Hey, can you take me with you, Miss? If you're not cool with a guy, I can totally cross-dress!]

[Comment 25: WTF, there's a ton of info from the person above me.]

[Comment 26: No shit, that's not even the issue! Hey, are you a crossdresser or what? Show us some pics to prove it!]

[Comment 27: Yeah, c'mon, share some pics!]

Suddenly, a mysterious cross-dresser appeared, and the whole conversation just went sideways.

Elf rolled her eyes and put away her phone.

===

Two hours later.

"...Seriously? You finished this huge task in just two hours?"

Elf spoke in awe as she stared at Homura.

"Well, well, what did you expect? Another Dimension is just this fast!" Homura gave a thumbs up and grinned.

Elf: "..."

Meanwhile, the other girls were looking up at the sky.

Even though it was already dusk, the sunlight still managed to shine through.

"By the way... we don't have to take all of this down after the school festival is over, right?" Nico pondered aloud.

"Well, that depends on how the school handles it... Or maybe you guys can try convincing them?" Homura shrugged casually.

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads toward Kotori at an unbelievably fast speed.

Seeing this, a bead of cold sweat slid down Kotori's forehead.

"Etto... why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Kotori-chan, this mission is yours!"

Honoka exclaimed and grabbed Kotori's hand with sparkling eyes.

It wasn't just Honoka, as the others also had similar expressions.

"If we have this, we can practice here even on rainy days..." Hanayo mumbled.

"Exactly, it's like our own private clubroom." Nozomi chimed in with a slight smile.

"Alright, I'll ask my mom... but no promises, okay?" Kotori looked helpless.

"No problem." Maki said with a faint smile.

At the same time, Nayuta ran back and forth, checking out Homura's creation from every angle.

"I have a feeling that when it rains, this place is gonna be a really good spot to hang out..."

Nayuta remarked while squinting her eyes and enjoying Homura's head pats.

"Hmm, this will probably stay up for just a few months though." Homura said while rubbing her head.

"Why?" Nayuta asked confusedly.

"Because winter is not going to be too kind to it..." Homura sighed softly. "Snow won't just slide off like rain, y'know."

Upon hearing this, the girls all realized he had a point.

Needless to say, they would have to take the tent down once it started snowing.

"I think that's good enough. It's really useful for when it rains a lot." Honoka said with a cheerful smile.

She clearly didn't mind since what mattered most was the current moment.

Meanwhile, Elf's eyes gleamed before pulling out her phone again.

[Yamada Elf: Hey! I'm back! (Attached video)]

[Comment 1: WTF, that tent is really huge.]

[Comment 3: Wait a sec, it's done already? How many people did this?]

[Yamada Elf: Just one person did it. Even if the rest of us helped, we'd never be as fast as Homura.]

[Comment 4: You know what, that sounds like total BS.]

[Comment 5: Guess that's where Another Dimension's lightning-fast speed comes from.]

[Comment 6: Makes sense!]

[Comment 7: Shouldn't it be Minamiya-sensei's speed first, then Another Dimension's?]

[Comment 8: You got a point! Just look at how many manga Minamiya-sensei's cranked out in just several weeks.]

[Comment 9: Yeah, his speed is wild, but I'm all for it!]

[Comment 10: Same here!]

[Comment 11: Same!]

'Well, well, these online folks are really something else, always such a cheerful bunch.' Elf thought with a smile on her face.

"So, what's the plan today? Are we still heading to my place for dinner?"

Homura asked Muse's members.

Hearing his question, the nine members exchanged glances before one of them, Umi, shook her head.

"Not today, Homura-kun. We've already told our families that we'll be having dinner at home this week."

"Got it." Homura nodded. "I'll drop you all off at home first then." 

"I don't think that's necessary today, is it?" Kotori said, glancing up at the sky.

"No worries, let's go."

Homura waved his hand, and Haru quickly jumped onto his shoulder, leading the way downstairs.

Although the girls felt a bit helpless by his overly kind gesture, they were also quite happy with it.

"Nyaa~! Homura-kun, wait for me!"

Rin exclaimed loudly and ran to catch up with Homura.

Seeing this, the girls exchanged smiles before following Homura downstairs one after another.

===

"Ugh, so tired…"

After getting back to the Minamiya residence, Elf collapsed directly onto the couch.

"Hey, Homura, you seriously walk this much every day? Not going to lie, that's impressive…"

"It's not that I'm impressive, it's that your stamina sucks." Homura replied casually. "Just look at Nayu, she's totally fine."

"You can't be serious. Nayu, as long as she's with you, she wouldn't complain no matter how far she has to walk." Elf couldn't help but roll her eyes. "When she is with you, she's so happy that no matter how tired she is, she forgets about it!"

"Heehee…"

Nayuta, who had been playing with Haru, scratched her head when she heard Elf's words.

Homura: "…"

"Speaking of which, why did you post pictures of me working online?" Homura asked, changing the topic.

"What else? Since you were busy working, I needed something to distract myself from my boredom." Elf replied and sat up with a mischievous grin, suddenly looking refreshed. "Did you check out their comments? Pretty amusing, right?"

"I only saw the comment from the crossdresser guy." Homura replied with raised eyebrows. 

"Seriously, the stuff you focus on is pretty weird…" Elf twitched her lips.

"It's because the guy who danced 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' before, has the same username as the crossdresser guy."

As Homura said this, his eyebrows twitched twice.

"Eh? Really?!" Elf's grin widened. 

"You still don't trust my memory?" Homura pointed to his head. 

Elf instinctively imagined the man who danced 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' cross-dressing in cute clothes while performing it.

She was about to shudder at the thought but suddenly realized it actually seemed oddly fitting!

"Hahahaha—!"

Elf held her stomach, laughing hard.

"It's too perfect! The look and the vibe are just spot on! For it to fit this well, that's so unreal!"

"Then why not consider that he might have a boyfriend too?" Homura raised an eyebrow.

Elf's laughter stopped abruptly, and her face turned serious as she pondered.

Suddenly, Elf sprang up and, with a quick "I'm going to find Izumi!", disappeared from Homura's sight.

"Nayu… Why do you think she wants to find Izumi?" Homura stroked his chin.

"Hmm..." Nayuta thought for a moment before answering, "Probably because good things are meant to be shared?"

Homura: "???"
