Revisiting the Otonokizaka High School

In the first box, Homura selected the Guitar, and the Bass appeared automatically in the second box.

Homura then pondered.

"It seems like these are the only two skills I can combine?"

"Perhaps Singing and Voice Acting too?"

"But it's not necessary because it's not free... Yeah, this feature costs 10 skill points per use!"

"This is a bit frustrating. Without a source for skill points later on, there won't be many opportunities to combine them!"

"But I still have to combine!" Homura gritted his teeth and combined it directly.

There was no special effect. Homura felt that he just gained many memories. As long as it was a plucked string instrument, he mastered it.

"The ten points were worth it!" Homura didn't feel heartache anymore because the skill panel showed "Plucked String Instruments LV9," which saved him so many skill points!

Even for instruments like "Guzheng" and "Pipa" that Homura had never encountered before, he had their playing experience and understanding of the instruments!

"As long as I take some time to learn the drum kit, there should be no problem with the game music!"

Homura, who was happy, finished his manga for the day in a pleasant mood.

===

The next morning, as soon as Homura finished breakfast, Ayano pulled him away!

This time, they went to Otonokizaka High School in the morning since everyone in Otonokizaka was available at this time.

When Homura left, he took Haru with him. After he leaked the information last time, he didn't know if Honoka and the others had contacted the remaining idol members.

Homura took Haru with him because there was a shy Koizumi Hanayo who took good care of the alpaca. After interacting with the little one, she should relax a bit and not be too nervous when questioned by Homura.

The little one was quite happy to come out with Homura and kept playing and interacting with him.

Ayano watched the interaction between the two and felt quite happy.

"You really like cats!" Ayano exclaimed.

"I only like other cats normally. My favorite is still our little one at home!" Homura smiled and replied.

"Have you ever considered drawing a manga about cats?" Always bringing up manga no matter what she saw.

Homura thought about it seriously. Although he couldn't come up with "My Roommate is a Cat", it seemed like it wouldn't be a bad idea to just draw the daily life of the little one?

"I'll consider it." Homura didn't agree directly. He really had to think about whether he wanted to do this.

"Then let me know when you've made a decision!" Ayano was most looking forward to Homura's manga.

"No problem."

===

The five people from last time came to greet them again.

Even from a distance, Honoka started to greet them, "Good morning~! Homura-kun! Ayano-san!"

Homura and Ayano both waved back with a smile and did not shout out like Honoka.

After reaching them, Homura and Ayano greeted them formally, "Good morning, everyone! We're bothering you again this time!"

The group repeatedly said, "No, no, it's us who are bothering you!"

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries! Let's just talk normally!" Homura quickly interrupted, as the small talk was wasting too much time.

"Homura-kun is still the same..." Kotori felt a bit emotional and relieved since Homura was still the Homura she knew even after he got famous.

"Alright, I don't want to be formal with you guys! It's just boring and awkward to be polite all the time!" Homura retorted Kotori.

"That's right! Everyone should just be more casual!" Honoka agreed with Homura's statement and continued, "Since we're not being formal anymore..."

Kotori asked, "Can we hold the cat for a bit?"

Umi: "..."

Homura: "..."

So they were waiting for this moment?!

Homura smiled and said, "You have to ask the little one's opinion about that!"

"Little one, they want to get closer to you. Do you have anyone special you like, like Honoka and Kotori? "

Haru shook her head and said, "Meow? (No, but it seems like there is one inside?)"

Homura was shocked, what a fierce sense of perception!

Could it be Hanayo? Homura put her down and asked her, "Then, little one, can you take us there?"

In the confused eyes of everyone, the little one nodded slowly and walked towards the school.

In an instant, everyone was surprised! They had all heard Homura's words and were naturally shocked by Haru's reaction!

"Let's go, follow me!" Homura led the way, and the girls looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.

"Homura-kun, what's going on?" Kotori couldn't help but ask.

"I asked the little one if she felt a special connection with any of you, and she said there was one inside."

"What?!" (x6)

Everyone, including Ayano, was shocked again!

The last time she was shocked was when Haru understood Homura's words. This time, it was because Homura could understand what Haru was saying!

"Homura! You have this ability?!"

Ayano's interest was piqued again, Homura wondered if she had thought of something from a manga again.

"Amazing! Homura-kun is so amazing! Not only is he good at manga, but he can also understand the cat's language?!" Honoka's eyes were shining with admiration.

Homura smiled and said, "Don't you doubt it?"

"Looking at the cat's reaction, there should be no doubt."

Huh? Unexpectedly, it was Eli who said this!

Homura followed her words and said, "Then do you know who in the school can make our cat, Haru, feel close today?"

"Haru? Is that the cat's name?" Eli nodded, pondered for a moment, and looked at Nozomi, "Nozomi, what do you think?"

"Someone who can make the cat feel close?" Nozomi also thought for a moment and then smiled, "It should be our animal caretaker, Koizumi-san!"

"Hanayo-chan?!" Honoka was surprised, "Is she at school? Didn't I persuade her to come and pick up Homura-kun with us?!"

Umi explained to her, "Knowing Koizumi-san's personality, she is probably too shy, right?"

"Isn't that just right?" Homura laughed, "With Haru here, we should be able to talk to her properly, right?"

Nozomi was somewhat surprised and glanced at him, "It should be possible. Koizumi-san, as the school's animal caretaker, likes small animals very much."

Homura couldn't help but complain, "Can those two alpacas in your school be considered small animals?"

The five members of Otonokizaka were a little embarrassed. The alpacas were indeed not small animals, and one of them had a particularly bad temper.

"Hehehe~ Haru-chan is so cute..." Looking at Haru walking forward step by step, Kotori smiled foolishly.

Umi was embarrassed, 'Speaking of which, Kotori seems to be obsessed with alpacas recently! It seems that all cute animals will make Kotori like this, right?'

"We're almost there." Eli reminded them.

The little one turned the corner, and everyone followed behind her. The figure of Koizumi Hanayo appeared in Homura's eyes.
