[TSSIM] Chapter 402: I'm So Lucky to Have Met All of You

After some time of kissing, Homura finally managed to break free with tremendous effort.

"Why stop now..."

Surprisingly, Chika pouted in dissatisfaction.

Seeing both girls with flushed faces and slightly uneven breaths, Homura chuckled bitterly.

"There's something I absolutely need to tell you—"

"Is it about the other girls?" Chika interrupted him, once again catching him off guard.

"Huh? You know?" Homura blinked his eyes dumbly.

"It's not like only Homura-kun is my friend..." Chika whispered. "I kind of guessed it anyway... Moreover, since Homura-kun likes everyone, everyone has the right to know, right?"

'Is it Megumi? Or Eriri and the others?' Homura pondered for a moment before speaking again. "I wanted to tell you personally though..."

"We don't live with Homura-kun, so if we wait for you to say it in person, who knows how long it'll take." Chika retorted.

Upon hearing that, Homura's feelings became somewhat complicated.

Could it be that the girl he liked was also helping him set up assists? It was somewhat unreal.

"Then... what about you, Kaguya?" Homura turned his head to Kaguya.

At his question, Kaguya glared at him irritably.

"Of course, I know too! Since Fujiwara-san already knows, why would you think I don't?"

Sighing, Homura couldn't help but hold them a bit tighter, even though they showed no intention of breaking free.

"Megumi-san said that she guessed two or three people might not be enough for you..."

Kaguya brought up this topic, making herself incredibly embarrassed, but she still wanted to voice her thoughts.

"If one person monopolizes you, it might be okay for a short time but... wouldn't any guy find it hard to hold back over time?"

"In the end, I can't monopolize you… so why bother worrying about it so much…"

Toward the end of her words, Kaguya's voice grew softer.

Unbeknownst to himself, Megumi actually did so much for him.

Homura couldn't help but feel incredibly fortunate!

"And on top of that, you, this womanizer, are surprisingly too outstanding…" Kaguya said, then lightly punched his chest. "As someone from the Shinomiya family, how can I still look at anyone else after meeting you…"

"That's true..." Chika nodded with a smile. "Even though Homura-kun played a part, we girls have also gotten along very well and become really good friends. If I had to share Homura-kun with someone, I guess it should be with my good friends, right?"

"..." Homura fell silent for a moment before whispering softly. "I'm so lucky to have met all of you…" 

Even though it was a whisper, it was right by their ears so they could hear it very clearly.

None of them spoke, just lifted their heads from Homura's chest and gazed at him.

The gazes in their eyes said it all.

===

Two hours later.

Despite Chika and Kaguya's stronger-than-average stamina, they couldn't continue any longer. Homura, as usual, was unfazed, as they couldn't make him surrender.

"I finally understand what Megumi-san meant..." Kaguya, no longer shy and visibly exhausted, muttered weakly.

"Yeah..." Chika chimed in softly. "Don't even talk about three people... five people wouldn't cut it either... I can't imagine if it were only one person..."

Upon hearing their words, Homura scratched his head, remaining silent.

However, thinking about their future happy lives, shouldn't they empower themselves? Maybe nine of them should team up!

'Huh?' Homura suddenly remembered Nozomi's words.

Could it be that Nozomi had already figured it out, so she planned for all members of Muse to join forces? 

Homura couldn't help but feel that Nozomi's Tarot cards were a bit scary.

"Pervert..." Kaguya muttered under her breath.

"...I can hear you, y'know." Homura said with a deadpan expression.

"I'm saying it to you on purpose!" Kaguya retorted defiantly.

"..." Homura was speechless for a moment before asking. "Well, you two want to eat something?"

"I want but... no strength left..." Chika remained motionless.

"It's alright, let me handle it!" Homura smiled.

As Chika and Kaguya watched Homura approach with a smile and hands raised, they couldn't help but be surprised!

"What are you doing?! We really have no strength left!"

"Wait a minute!"

===

"Oh, so comfortable..." Chika lay sprawled on the bed with a contented look. "I didn't expect Homura-kun to have such great massage skills..."

"Yeah, right..." Kaguya mumbled with a mouthful of cookies, making some noises. "My body was so sore earlier, but now it's much better..."

"Ahh, Kaguya-san, leave some for me!" Chika cried out in despair.

"Don't worry, there's plenty here." Kaguya reassured, patting the box she had taken out of Homura's bag.

"Alright, don't rush...." Homura chuckled, amused by Chika's never-ending love for eating.

===

"Mmm, so delicious!"

Like Kaguya earlier, Chika kept stuffing her mouth.

"Whatever Homura-kun makes turns out so yummy!"

"Want anything else? I can whip something up in the kitchen for you." Homura asked with a smile.

"Ramen!" Chika didn't hesitate to answer.

"Eh?" Kaguya was surprised that Chika actually made a request.

"Sure!" Homura chuckled, then turned to Kaguya. "And you?"

"I... I'll have what Fujiwara-san is having." Kaguya replied without refusing, opting for the same as Chika.

"Gotcha!" Homura ruffled their heads playfully.

After that, Kaguya asked Ai to take Homura to the kitchen.

"Minamiya-sama..." Ai, who had been silent until then, spoke up. "Please take good care of Miss Kaguya."

"So you know, huh... Well, I guess it's not surprising, considering you two are like sisters." Homura nodded. "I'll definitely take good care of Kaguya, love and protect her. Ai, I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on me."

"Although that line should probably be directed at that old geezer, since it's Minamiya-sama's order, I'll watch you." Ai nodded, then continued. "Of course, I understand Minamiya-sama's capabilities. Being monogamous is definitely unrealistic for you. I don't even know how many people could satisfy you. Making you stay faithful would just be torturing yourself."

Upon hearing that, Homura's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

"How... I didn't find any surveillance in Kaguya's room..."

Ai silently took out an earpiece.

Homura: "..."

'So it was for listening in?!' Homura sighed in resignation. "Well... you did remind me to be cautious about that." 

He quickly checked the System directly and found a special skill that had initially appeared, Reconnaissance, then quickly leveled it up to Level 9.

Instantly, his eyes became like radar, sensing any discordant or suspicious areas with a feeling of unease.

Homura felt this skill was truly divine—not only did it enhance detection skills, but it even delved somewhat into tracking.

However, the most bizarre part was it could even verify money!

How absurd was that?

If only it could verify the authenticity of antiques too, it would be a jackpot.

Homura couldn't help but feel a bit greedy.
