Another Panty Incident?

"Whenever I look at you, I feel my heart go dokidoki~"

"I get so giggly and wiggle like a marshmallow, fluffy fluffy~"

"See you working oh so hard~"

"Trying like you always do~"

"Focused on the things you do, you never see me watching you~"

...

'Ohh! here it is! Fuwa Fuwa Time is here!'

Homura exclaimed with excitement in his mind as he watched the performance of the legendary Light Music Club live.

It wasn't strange for him to feel excited.

After all, this song was not only significant for Yui and the others but also held great meaning for their fans in his previous life!

Fuwa Fuwa Time was truly their first song in every sense and undoubtedly the most popular.

...

"When I start to dream~"

"It's then where I will be close to you~"

"Oh please God, I am begging you~"

"Let me dream of us tonight~"

...

*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*

"Ohh! You all are amazing! So good!" Honoka exclaimed energetically, continuing to applaud.

"Yeah, the lyrics are cute too!" Kotori clapped as well.

"Oh? Really~?" Ritsu grinned. "You know, the lyrics are actually Mio's masterpiece!"

"Ritsu! Didn't you say you were cringing all over just from reading the lyrics before?!" Mio blushed, feeling frustrated.

"Te~hee~!" Ritsu acted cute.

"Tehee my foot!" Mio retorted angrily.

"I've always liked the lyrics! It's so full of energy!" Yui chimed in cheerfully.

"Good job, everyone! It really suits your style." Homura gave a thumbs up.

"Isn't that great, Mio... Everyone likes it..." Ritsu flashed a smile, almost like a proud mother.

"Which is why I have a suggestion." Homura added.

"What mischief are you up to now?" Eriri asked, raising a brow.

"Isn't it a waste if only Yui sings?" Homura asked, glancing at Tsumugi, Ritsu, and Mio.

"Oh? That's a great idea, Homura!" Ayano clapped her hands.

"But, Homura-niisan... we haven't practiced singing it..." Tsumugi shook her head, dashing Homura's hope.

"..."

"No... wait a minute!" Ritsu interrupted. "Mugi and I haven't practiced, but... Mio probably secretly practiced, right?"

"How do you know?!" Mio blurted out subconsciously.

In the next second, her expression turned miserable as she realized what she had done.

"Yosh! Let's do it again!" Ritsu declared, full of energy.

"Wait!" Mio shouted in fear.

"One, two, three, four!"

Yui and Tsumugi started playing the intro of Fuwa Fuwa Time in harmony.

As the singing part approached, the others watched Mio with interest.

"Ahh! I got it! I'll sing it, okay!"

Mio was sweating in fear, but as the song neared the singing part, she finally agreed with resignation.

In the next moment, the bass sound came in, seamlessly blending into the song.

"Whenever I look at you, I feel my heart go dokidoki~"

Although it had the same lyrics, it featured a different singer and vocal tone, which created a unique listening experience.

Homura, as the instigator, smiled happily.

Initially, he thought Mio would be impossible to persuade, but Ritsu unexpectedly provided support, which made Mio relent.

It was so satisfying.

===

Several minutes later, the second attempt at performing Fuwa Fuwa Time came to an end.

"Well, that was really impressive..." Nozomi sighed with a smile. "I finally understand what Homura-kun said before about them being a miracle too."

"Really?" Homura chuckled. "Does that mean Nozomi-senpai also thinks Muse is a miracle?"

"Yeah... Muse is indeed a miracle for me..." Nozomi muttered softly, almost inaudible if one didn't listen carefully.

If Homura didn't have good hearing, he wouldn't have caught what she said.

Still, when would she fully open up to everyone?

"Kyaaa—!"

A startled cry rang out.

Homura quickly turned toward the source of the voice.

'What the—blue and white panty?!'

He almost choked at the unbelievable sight.

"Homura... you saw that, right?"

Eriri's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

As expected, she always intervened to stop him from seeing anything NSFW.

"I don't want to lie to you, but if you don't want Mio to cry, let's just pretend I didn't see anything..." Homura muttered quietly.

"Hahh..." Eriri sighed tiredly. "It's because of that attitude that everyone is helpless against you."

"Did you forget about Mashiro's incident?" Homura sighed.

"Heh, since Mashiro turned dark, her prowess has skyrocketed, right? There have been so many times she's left you stumped." Eriri couldn't help but chuckle.

"...Did everyone see it?" Mio asked, her voice sounded so pitiful. 

"It's okay, Mio-chan!" Chika comforted. "We're all girls so seeing it is not a big deal, right?"

"But..." Mio slowly turned to look at Homura.

"Don't worry, I covered his eyes." Eriri pursed her lips.

"Yeah, Homura-kun was talking to me so he didn't have time to turn around." Nozomi chimed in with a smile.

Upon hearing their words, Mio breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the glistening tears in her eyes.

"NOOO—!"

Homura suddenly screamed in despair, startling the girls as they looked at him in surprise.

They saw him wincing in pain, reaching out in a certain direction.

Following his gaze, they discovered Megumi with a camcorder.

'A camcorder?!'

Everyone instantly recalled the camcorder Homura had set up before the Light Music Club's performance, recording the entire process!

"My precious..."

Homura muttered with a sorrowful expression as he saw Megumi delete the video on the camcorder.

"For Mio-chan, it's better to delete it, right?"

Saying this, Megumi handed the camcorder to Homura gently.

Homura fiddled with it, making Mio blush again.

"Hahh... yeah, that's indeed the right thing to do..." Homura sighed resignedly. "But their first performance is also something precious..."

"It's okay! I don't want such a 'precious' record!" Mio exclaimed hurriedly.

"..."

Megumi fell silent for a moment, then sighed, feeling guilty.

"I was a bit thoughtless just now, wasn't I, Homura-kun? Any way to recover it?"

"Yeah, it can be recovered, but..." Homura nodded but looked hesitant.

Everyone understood why he hesitated.

Mio probably wouldn't agree, would she?

"Alright, let me help."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Eli quickly stepped in.

"Homura-kun can recover the video, and I'll edit out 'that' part."

Upon hearing the fantastic idea, no one objected.

After all, the video was not only precious to Homura but also very precious to the Light Music Club.

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Homura took out his laptop and began recovering the deleted video.
