Myaa-san

Homura, who was preparing to take out the gift, smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you want to guess what it is?"

"Is it a signature?" Fumino was the first to speak, as he mentioned it during a phone call yesterday, so she took a guess.

"Not entirely correct." Homura shook his head.

"Could it be a manga book of Monthly Girls?" Miyako also guessed.

Homura shrugged, "I originally planned to bring that, but then I thought, a manga book of Monthly Girls might not be good for Ogata-san. It could affect her understanding of psychology, so I didn't bring it."

Uruka and Rizu looked utterly confused. What were they talking about?

But Fumino agreed wholeheartedly, "Exactly! If Ri-chan saw that, according to her bizarre and humorous way of thinking..."

Just thinking about it made her shudder.

"Ri-chan! You must never see Monthly Girls drawn by Minamiya-kun, okay?" Fumino supported Rizu's shoulder and said seriously.

"But... I've already seen it."

Homura: "..."

Fumino: "..."

"I just can't understand why the characters in the manga are like that. It's completely different from the Promised Neverland, I don't get it..."

Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. It's good that she didn't understand! It would be too late if she did!

"So, this is a limited edition item and not for sale!" Homura took out the gift, which was the signed copy of 'Your Name.'

"Ah! Senpai! You're so cunning! I want one too!" Nayuta instantly became disgruntled! She had wanted it all along! She never expected that he would sign it for someone else!

"Hold on..." Homura tried to soothe her. He didn't expect Nayuta to want it so badly. "You're one of Another Dimension now, you can get not only mine but also everyone else's signatures you know."

"I don't want others..." Nayuta pouted. "I just want Senpai's..."

"Alright..." Homura sighed in resignation. "I'll sign one for you when we get back, okay?"

"Thank you." (x4)

The four of them received the gifts that Homura handed to them.

Unable to hold back, Miyako asked, "Minamiya-san, you just said that Kani-san is also from Another Dimension?"

"That's right. Although Nayuta is only 14 years old, her writing ability is top-notch in the industry."

"Hehehe..." Being praised by Homura, Nayuta couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

"14 years old?!" (x4)

"Being at the top of the industry at 14 with writing skills?" Uruka looked utterly shocked.

Homura shook his head, "No need to be so surprised, right? With Furuhashi-san's literary talent, as long as she writes, she'll be at the top of the industry, at worst."

No one refuted that statement. They all knew Fumino's abilities.

"Which school does Nayuta-chan attend?" Fumino asked.

Then, Nayuta fell completely silent...

Homura also broke into a cold sweat. Fumino had hit the mark with that question!

Taking advantage of Fumino's curious gaze, Homura subtly shook his head and blinked, and she instantly understood Homura's intention.

"That—"

"I'll tell you..." Before Fumino could say anything, Nayuta had already started speaking.

She knew that she had almost been found out, and she had planned to tell Homura when she found the opportunity. Since it came up now, she might as well reveal it now!

After that, Nayuta whispered about being bullied at school, including the details. Homura and the other four girls listened quietly.

"After that, I stayed at home all the time until 'Your Name.' burst onto the scene, and that's when I was moved, saved, and dared to face the outside world! That's why, I came to find you, Senpai!"

"I wanted to become a mangaka too, but I can't draw manga, so I'll become a novelist instead! That way, I can be closer to Senpai, right?"

"That's how it is..."

As Nayuta continued to narrate, Miyako, who had completely lost control of herself, hugged Nayuta tightly!

Under Nayuta's surprised gaze, Miyako's tearful voice rang out...

"Ahh! Mouu! Why wasn't I by your side back then? If I was, I would have beaten them all up!"

"...Myaa-san." Nayuta also had a touched yet relieved smile as she buried her face in Miyako's embrace.

Homura had a satisfied expression on his face, realizing that this scene had indeed not been absent even if he had transmigrated here. This could even be considered as another major turning point in Nayuta's life.

Looking at Homura's expression, Fumino always felt as if she were being manipulated. Why did it seem like he knew it would happen?!

Well, that was probably the case...

"Myaa-san?" After recovering from the shock, Miyako looked at the petite figure in his arms and asked curiously.

"Because Miya in Miyako sounded like a cat's meow, so it's Myaa! Hehe..." Nayuta explained with a cheerful smile.

"That's really straightforward..." Homura made a comment, "The real Myaa-san is right here!"

After saying that, he patted Haru's head.

Miyako: "..."

So... should she accept this nickname or not?

"No, that's Haru, not Myaa-san! Myaa-san is Myaa-san!"

Well... although it sounded strange, Miyako... Myaa-san accepted this nickname in the end!

"Alright, alright, Haru is Haru, and Myaa-san is Myaa-san..." Homura shook his head, "Let's start the tutoring. We've been sitting here for quite a while."

"Nayu, while we study, you can talk to your Myaa-san first."

Miyako blushed, wondering what he meant by 'your Myaa-san'.

Homura looked at the perplexed Miyako and secretly smiled, starting their tutoring session.

===

"Ogata-san, Furuhashi-san, you've made great progress!" Homura looked at the test papers with scores above thirty points and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all thanks to Minamiya-kun!" Fumino was also very satisfied with her progress during this time, and she smiled happily.

"Here we go again..." Homura helplessly said, "It's our joint effort okay?"

Fumino continued to smile, not refuting his words, but not agreeing either.

"Although our own efforts also played a part, the effectiveness of our efforts began after we met Minamiya-san." Rizu suddenly said.

"Even you too Ogata-san..." Homura gave up and said, "Let's continue."

"Wow, impressive!" Uruka exclaimed, "You completely surpassed the single-digit Fuminocchi!"

"Do you need tutoring too, Takemoto-san?"

"Eh?" Uruka pointed at herself, "Can I join too?"

"Of course!"

"Oh~! Then count me in!"

And so, the tutoring group went from two to three.

Time slowly passed, and suddenly, Homura's phone rang.
