Mashiro, It's Your Turn!

When Homura returned home, everyone else had already come back, and Haru was the first to come out and greet him.

He picked up the little one and went to the living room where Elf, Sagiri, and Mashiro were all lying on the sofa.

"Did Muramasa leave?" Homura sat down next to Elf.

"Welcome back..." Elf turned over and continued, "Muramasa left a while ago."

"Oh right! After Muramasa played with 'Your Name.', she seemed really excited!" Elf remembered, "She said, 'I didn't expect it! The same story, just presented in a different way, has greatly increased my level of interest!'."

"That's great! Our efforts in spreading the belief weren't in vain then!" Homura was very satisfied with the outcome this time.

"And what about you, Sagiri?" Homura looked at his little sister, "How do you feel after interacting with Muramasa?"

"She's a strange person."

"Strange?" Homura was a bit puzzled. What exactly were her standards for strangeness? Considering Sagiri's own strangeness...

"She suddenly starts writing novels out of nowhere." Sagiri thought for a moment, then her expression gradually turned mischievous and lewd like a perverted old man. "But Muramasa-chan is so cute! There are so many opportunities when she's focused on writing novels..."

Homura: "..."

What opportunities? No, forget it, he suddenly didn't want to know!

Even though he didn't want to know, the thought still appeared in his mind. Based on his understanding of Sagiri... it would probably just be an opportunity for her to draw freely, right?

And Muramasa would be too absorbed to notice, so she might not resist... although she would probably be embarrassed afterward...

"Homura, how was it today?" Mashiro's expression carried clear anticipation. She had been very concerned about Muse's performance since before.

"It went really well. I recorded the performance with Ayano's help, so let's all watch it together." Homura placed Haru on Elf's lap, and the little one immediately lay down.

"Wait! This lady also wants to watch it! I can't get up like this!" Elf hurriedly exclaimed.

Homura smiled and said, "Relax, I said we would all watch together. By the way, are the rest in their rooms?"

"Yes, I'll go call them." Mashiro volunteered and hurriedly went upstairs.

Homura felt happy. "Mashiro's changes are getting bigger and bigger."

"Of course! Don't forget, Mashiro even fooled you last time." Elf smirked.

Homura: "..."

Well, her changes were quite significant. She used to be passively mischievous, but now she could actively fool people...

On Elf's side, she slowly turned her body and, after embracing Haru in her arms gently, gradually sat up. From this movement alone, one could see how much she loved Haru.

Homura thought to himself, 'The little one truly deserves to be everyone's beloved pet!'

Actually, the little one also doted on others, especially Sagiri. Ever since Haru promised him, she would always accompany Sagiri whenever there was a chance. It could even be said that Sagiri's ability to leave her room early was largely thanks to Haru.

"Homura-kun, when did you arrive?" Megumi was the first to come downstairs and asked him.

The others followed closely, and only then did Homura say, "I just got home. Mashiro couldn't wait to watch Muse's performance, so I told her we would all watch it together, and she went to inform you immediately."

Nanami felt somewhat amused and rubbed Mashiro's head.

"Homura-kun, your clothes?" Utaha noticed that a glimpse of his innerwear was exposed beneath his coat.

Only then did he realize that he was still wearing the Muse support outfit underneath!

As if sensing something, Eriri swiftly pulled off his coat.

"..."

"What the heck is this?!" Eriri exclaimed.

"Just take a look, and you'll know," Homura replied.

The girls stared intently, and Eriri couldn't help but say, "This T-shirt... Did you make it yourself?"

"Remember how you all said I couldn't make clothes? So I decided to give it a try!" Homura defended himself.

"That looks terrible..." Said Mashiro, the expert at bashing without guilt.

Homura: "..."

"I didn't expect to see something that Homura-kun isn't good at..." Megumi's tone carried a hint of nostalgia.

"Alright, let's stop talking about my clothes, okay! Do you want to see the recording or not?" Homura clearly tried to change the topic.

"We want to see!"

He connected to the computer and clicked on play.

They all watched quietly, even suppressing their laughter when they witnessed Homura's hilarious moves and continued watching.

Finally, their excitement reached its peak, and they started discussing fervently.

"By the way, I think I've become their fan!" Eriri took the computer and replayed it from the beginning of the performance.

"It just... Homura always gets in the way, popping up for no reason! Why did Ayano-san record him? She should be focusing on the girls on the stage!" Eriri casually made a sarcastic remark, leaving him deeply wounded.

"Although that's true..." Utaha followed up, but then changed the tone of her words, "But I have to say, Homura-kun, your manga is really spot on. This time, we can see that they deserve all of this."

"That's right!" Homura suddenly looked proud and patted his chest.

"Speaking of which..." Elf suddenly asked, "When do you plan to announce it?"

"Ayano said to wait until the signing event is over, so I've decided on the day after tomorrow. The first day of the Golden Week."

"That's great! I'm getting more and more excited about the servants' reaction!"

Homura: "..."

Wasn't it my readers who reacted? What does it have to do with your 'servants'?

He silently complained in his heart. He guessed that others probably had the same thoughts but chose not to voice them.

"Before Mashiro came to find you, what were you all doing in the rooms anyway?" Homura asked the four who had just come downstairs.

Nanami raised her hand and replied, "I was just tidying up the room. Mashiro still can't do it by herself."

Mashiro pouted but didn't say anything.

Beside her, Megumi patted her head and looked at him. She said, "Utaha-senpai and Eriri are trying to come up with some scripts and character designs. I'm just helping them with suggestions."

Homura spoke up, "While I don't oppose your enthusiasm, let's wait until the end of the holiday, shall we? If everything goes as planned, Muramasa will join us after that. Wouldn't it be better if we all start together?"

"...You're right, we might have overlooked that. Muramasa might feel uncomfortable and feel left out if we don't discuss the script together," Utaha nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. Moreover, the theme of this work project wasn't her strongest suit anyway. It would be better for others to take the lead, and she would assist them.

Eriri couldn't say much either. Certain character designs could only be drawn after the script was finalized after all.

"The online community is buzzing again!" Megumi looked at her phone and suddenly exclaimed.

"Again? Is it about 'Your Name.'? Homura, your signing event is still causing a buzz it seems," Eriri also took out her phone and scrolled through it. "Sure enough! Almost everyone has completed the routes, and the number of people discussing it keeps increasing."

"Indeed, the story of Mitsuha and Taki is the most touching." Nanami sighed.

"Perfect timing!" Homura looked at Mashiro. "Mashiro, it's your turn to make an appearance this time!"
