[TSSIM] Chapter 412: News of Mya-nee

At the dining table.

Mashiro and Nanami looked at the visibly low-spirited Megumi, then glanced at the energetic Homura, speechless.

However, amidst their speechlessness, there was also a sense of anticipation.

It probably wouldn't be long before they fell prey to Homura-kun's charm too, right?

Although they hadn't really thought about escaping in the first place.

At the same time, Nayuta was in a relatively cheerful mood.

It was not without reason.

If things continued like this, even if her senpai still saw her as a child, he would eventually make a move on her, as it was just a matter of time. However, as long as she was together with him, these were all minor matters.

If only she were just one year older, she might be even happier right now.

"Speaking of which... Izumi, did you sleep alone last night?"

Homura looked at Izumi and asked.

"Were you scared? After all, you're not used to staying alone like Sagiri, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Sagiri clenched her fist and raised it towards Homura.

Homura raised his arms to defend himself when he saw his little sister's fist.

However, upon seeing her brother's behavior, Sagiri suddenly paused and felt like her attitude was a bit childish. Even so, he was still lenient towards her childish attitude.

Sagiri smiled inwardly and felt grateful to have an amazing and kind big brother.

Actually, her previous dissatisfaction with him being surrounded by so many girls had also disappeared. After all, she understood that with his 'prowess' and excellence in all aspects, it was inevitable.

Meanwhile, to Homura's question, Izumi shook her head.

"Um, Minamiya-senpai, I slept with Nanami-nee and the others."

"Really?" Homura looked at Megumi and the others.

"It was Izumi-chan who suggested it. If we wanted to keep Homura-kun company, she would sleep in Mashiro and Nanami's room." Megumi nodded slightly and explained.

Naturally, the more understanding Izumi was, the more sorry Homura felt for her.

"When we sleep in our room, Izumi will still be with us..." Eriri pouted. "Who asked you to be such a pervert guy? Tossing and turning us all night, making us have no energy until the next day... It even affects our work progress... Aren't we going to die if this always happened..."

Even though the second sentence was spoken very softly by her, everyone still heard it.

'Can you think about where we are and when it is before saying stuff like that?' Homura thought speechlessly, his expression darkened.

Otonokizaka High School, Student Council Room.

"Ara, as expected... three people aren't a match for Homura-kun." Nozomi said, holding her phone with an expression that said 'as expected'.

Eli, visibly irritated, interjected.

"Nozomi... can't you refrain from saying such inappropriate things in this kind of place..."

Eli sighed and felt that her vice president had been off track ever since she met Homura.

"Relax, Eli-chi, it's just us now anyway." Nozomi said with a smile.

"Hahh..." Eli sighed and remained silent.

"Hmm, if three aren't enough... what about five?" Nozomi mused to herself. "Maybe the task of defeating Homura-kun will fall to us nine after all..."

Upon hearing that, Eli blushed deeply, one of her eyebrows twitching.

Tuesday.

Minamiya Residence.

"Homura-kun! I've got great news!"

Honoka burst in excitedly as soon as she entered the house, calling out to Homura.

"Good news?" Homura pondered for a moment. "Is it that Nico finally won the right to use the auditorium?"

Nico: "..."

"How long are you going to keep using that joke?! Are you already convinced I'll never win?!" Nico clenched her teeth.

"It's not that then?" Homura rubbed his chin. "Hmm, did you receive an invitation to perform?"

Homura observed the girls' faces and shook his head.

"No, it's not that... it must be the closure of Otonokizaka High has been canceled?"

Considering the timeline, this situation should have occurred after the school festival, but with him around, Homura knew that his influence was significant enough to make it happen earlier.

"...Ehh... you guessed it so quickly..."

Honoka was somewhat disappointed, thinking she could have teased Homura a bit longer.

"Well, that's really good news though. Your precious alma mater can continue to exist." Homura smiled, then glanced at the System.

...

[Main Mission]: Save Otonokizaka High School from closing.

[Mission Objective]: Get enough new students to Otonokizaka High School through manga.

[Mission Status]: Incomplete.

...

'Huh? Incomplete?'

As he saw that the mission was still incomplete, Homura was confused.

'Is this because the news of it has not been confirmed yet? Or is it because the number of new students hasn't been determined?'

Pondering, Homura figured it was probably the latter reason, but he decided not to dwell on it since he was in no rush anyway.

Shaking his head, Homura minimized the System interface back to the bottom right corner.

"You guys have good news, and we have some too." Utaha suddenly spoke up with a smile.

""Hmm?""

Everyone looked at Utaha curiously.

"Today, I ran into Mya—Hoshino-san..." Utaha's smile faltered as she misspoke.

Seeing this, Homura almost burst out laughing again.

Mya-nee really had a lasting effect!

Meanwhile, upon hearing the name 'Mya-nee', Kotori remained silent and suddenly didn't feel like hearing this good news anymore.

"When I approached her, she was really startled, seemed a bit unsure, but when I mentioned that Minami Kotori from Muse wanted to discuss fashion design and clothing making with her, she quickly agreed..." Utaha continued. "Anyway, she said any time is fine. What do you say, Kotori?"

"...I'm fine with it too, after school works for me." Kotori nodded, obviously couldn't pass up such an opportunity.

"Alright, let's meet tomorrow after school. Mya—Hoshino-san will be coming to school these days, so let's meet at the intersection between Toyogasaki and Otonokizaka after school." Utaha nodded, acting all nonchalant about her slip-up.

Ignoring the 'Mya' part, everyone pretended not to hear it, but a few shoulders couldn't help shaking.

"Meet?" Umi asked. "So, the meeting point isn't at Homura-kun's place?"

"After all, she's shy and introverted, that Mya-nee." Homura shrugged.

"So it's at her house?" Nozomi pondered. "It seems we shouldn't bring too many people then..."

"Kotori definitely has to go..." Umi glanced at the others. "Homura-kun, shouldn't you go too?"

"Well, I'm inclined to go on my own." Homura nodded. "Maybe Mya-nee and Kotori will collaborate more in the future and become Another Dimension's fashion designers."

Before, none of the girls had thought of it that way, but now that Homura had said it, it seemed quite possible!

Among Muse's girls, the only one feeling a bit uneasy was Umi, as the clothes made by Mya-nee seemed a bit embarrassing for her.

"I think Utaha should come too." Homura turned to Utaha. "After all, you're her classmate, so it's easier to talk."

"Alright..." Utaha sighed helplessly. "Although being her classmate doesn't really make a difference with strangers..."
