As Long as They're Happy, That's Enough

Has the little one found something?

Thinking of this, Homura spoke directly, "Haru, what's wrong?"

The little one slowly turned her head and meowed, "It's my younger siblings."

"Huh?"

Younger siblings? Then it's definitely not Hachi! Could it be her other two siblings adopted by some family?

Thinking of this, he jumped onto the wall, startling Rizu and Fumino!

"Minamiya-kun! Be careful!" Fumino instinctively shouted, completely ignoring his lightning-fast reflexes.

"Don't worry!" He glanced over to the other side and saw a family resting in the yard, with two cats of the same color as Haru playing with their children.

"Don't you want to go say hello? Your younger siblings."

Haru was silent and did not answer.

"Younger siblings?" The two girls below were a bit confused when heard that. Haru's younger siblings?

"Yes." Homura nodded, "They're Haru's younger siblings. Although I know they were adopted by a family, I didn't expect them to be living right next door to Furuhashi-san's house."

"Wow, that's really a coincidence!" They were all a little surprised. This was really too coincidental.

"Well, isn't Haru going to go say hello?"

Homura shrugged. "I'm waiting for an answer too."

"No... they look very happy and content. That's enough," the little one stood up, stretched her body, and felt much better.

"Okay then, since you've made your decision..." Homura jumped off the wall and clapped his hands. "Let's go home!"

Haru also jumped onto his shoulder and meowed, "Meow! (Let's go home!)"

"Minamiya-kun?"

"Minamiya-san?"

The two girls were waiting for an answer.

"Those two little cats seem carefree and happy right now, so Haru decided not to disturb them." Homura stroked Haru's small head.

"I see..." Rizu and Fumino also felt a little sad for the little one, who was so considerate that it was heartwarming. They also approached and slowly stroked her.

In order to match the height of Rizu, Homura could only crouch down. He couldn't let her stand on her tiptoes, could he?

However, he felt something. He didn't know if these two had overlooked it or if they just didn't understand the boundaries between men and women. They were standing too close together...

Haru was perched on his right shoulder, and Fumino was standing in front of him. He could smell her fragrance and subconsciously sniffed her a few times.

Rizu was standing behind him. If Fumino was overlooking something, then Rizu was just not understanding the boundaries. He could feel the softness of those 'explosive weapons' behind him and couldn't help but tremble a little, thinking to himself, 'No wonder she's a G!'

"Okay, we really should be going now." Homura shook his head and forcibly increased his self-control.

"Alright..." Fumino looked reluctant, but her reluctance was probably for Haru, right? Yeah, he won't misunderstand!

"Fumino, I need to go home as well. I can't keep asking my neighbor to help out at the shop."

"Then let's go together," Homura said to Rizu.

She nodded. After saying goodbye to Fumino, the two of them left her house.

On the way home, they passed by Manke's Bunko Store, but compared to yesterday, there were far fewer people.

"Ogata-san, wait for me," Homura said to her, handed over Haru, and then went straight to the sales position of Manke Weekly Magazine.

"Is it only the latest issue?" Homura asked while holding the magazine and found the store clerk to inquire if they had the previous issue.

Fortunately, they did have it, but these days they only sold the latest issue and 'Your Name.', so the previous issue was sent to the warehouse.

After paying, he brought the two issues of Manke Weekly Magazine containing 'The Promised Neverland' and 'Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun' outside the store and handed them over to Rizu.

"What's this?" Rizu asked.

"I recommend this manga. You can read it when you have time. But you should read 'The Promised Neverland' first. The others are not for you yet."

Indeed, if Rizu read Monthly Girls... she would probably run further away on a bizarre road...

"Thank you, Minamiya-san." Rizu expressed her gratitude. She did not expect him to care so much about her studies.

"No need to thank me. I hope it can help you." Homura smiled.

"I am sure it will!" Rizu nodded vigorously.

He was surprised that she trusted him so much, but he was also confident that reading something related to psychological warfare like in those manga would definitely help her.

Soon, they returned to Ogata Udon Shop. From afar, he saw Rizu's father waiting outside the door entrance.

As they approached, Rizu's father spotted his precious daughter and ran toward her.

"Rizutama~! You're finally back!" Rizu's father burst into tears and then turned fiercely, "Tell Papa, did this brat do anything to you? Papa will turn him into udon!"

*BANG!*

Rizu hit him on the head with her backpack, "Go back to work!"

"C'mon~ Don't be like this~! Tell Papa quickly!"

"Goodbye, Minamiya-san. I'm going in first."

Homura nodded speechlessly, watching Rizu's father continuously questioning and Rizu calmly walking ahead while ignoring him. He and the little one then started on the way home.

When they were almost home, Homura thought about it and decided to use a full set of pet skills on Haru. In an instant, the little one's fur became much softer.

"We're back!" Homura opened the door and immediately smelled the aroma of food. "Ohh! Everyone's cooking!"

"Homura-kun, welcome home. We thought you will be out until this afternoon. That's why we started cooking first," Megumi said as she greeted him while busy with the cooking.

Seeing that the meal was almost ready, Homura said, "Looks like I just need to wait to eat."

"Well, with this lady around, we don't need you!" Elf replied with a typical Elf-style response.

It was a bit arrogant, but everyone understood that it was just her personality, so they didn't get angry because of it.

"Oh, right, Homura, how was it today?" Eriri asked, then slowly approached Haru's side and cautiously sniffed her.

Homura pretended not to see and replied, "It was as expected, a failure."

"Failure?!" Everyone was surprised.

A failure is too much, right?

"This is definitely a problem with the question! Even in science, we have yet to fully understand the structure of the human brain, let alone the psychology of the characters!" Homura suddenly mimicked what Rizu said before.

The scene came to a standstill at that moment, even Elf's hand ceasing to stir the vegetables.

"The food! The food is going to burn!"

Everyone was in a panic, and Utaha asked with a smirk, "Is this her reaction when doing the exercises?"

"The reaction I received was just twenty seconds after I had handed over the problem," Homura replied.

Girls: "..."

"But when it comes to science, I feel like she's even more abnormal than a computer. No matter how complicated the problem is, she can almost get the answer in an instant just by seeing it," Homura added.

This is too extreme for specializing in just one subject, isn't it?!

The girls thought ridiculously.
