She hesitated a bit and said, "But... our band has just formed, we need to practice, we don't have time for a trip..."
'Oh, I see... But that's not a big deal.' Homura thought calmly. He said, "Mugi, you said earlier that you are in Light Music Club, right?"
"Huh?" Tsumugi was taken aback for a moment. "Yes... I did say that."
"From what you said, I could tell that you've been paying attention to me recently... So, have you heard of my circle's work?"
"'Your Name.'...

Homura actually felt that this was a win-win deal!
In the early stages, Another Dimension could give Nayuta a significant boost in popularity. With the foundation of her quality works, it could rapidly propel her fame to unprecedented heights.
And in the later stages, Nayuta's fame could contribute to the better development of Another Dimension.
Is there anything better than this?
"Alright! Let's eat!" Homura clapped his hands.
"I already ate before coming..." We...

Amidst the laughter of the group, the doorbell rang.
Homura looked at Megumi and said, "Megumi, that must be Hashima Izumi, right?"
"I think so, but why is she here so early?" Megumi also seemed puzzled.
Nanami continued, "Maybe it feels early because our breakfast is a bit later than usual. It's the perfect time for her to arrive, we can prepare a few extra servings."
Homura: "..."
He was confident in his cooking skills. So, if they were truly preparing for more...

Homura received the manuscript from Nayuta with anticipation.
"So it's 'Silver Scenery'?" he read aloud, understanding in his heart. It was indeed part of the 'Scenery' series.
Moreover, it seemed to be a tragic kind of love story, not the type that Utaha excelled at. He grew even more excited.
He casually flipped through the pages. Although he could read faster, doing so in front of Nayuta might give her the impression that her own novel lacked appeal.

The atmosphere in the kitchen and living room was somewhat eerie.
"Homura! We're here!" Ayano's voice came from the entrance, they finally arrived!
Quickly adjusting his mood, Homura shouted, "Just come in! I'm cooking!"
The bored Elf walked out.
"Huh? Yamada Elf-sensei?" Nayuta's editor exclaimed unexpectedly.
Nayuta's nervous expression froze for a moment. 'Yamada Elf? Why is she here? Could she be Minamiya-senpai's girlfriend?'
Elf nodded in satisfaction...

As soon as the Kotobuki Family was mentioned, Homura felt a rush of memories flooding his mind, all from his childhood.
Unable to contain his shock, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. With a probing mindset, he intended to ask further.
"...Which Kotobuki Family?" Homura controlled his emotions and asked calmly.
"Which Kotobuki Family?" Kosuke's puzzled voice came through. "Didn't you know? Our Minamiya Family is acquainted with the Kotobuki Family."

The next morning, Homura was awakened by the ringing of his phone.
"Ayano?" Homura rubbed his eyes. "What's up? Did you change your mind and decide to join us?"
Ayano's pitiful voice came through, "I really want to go too! But there's too much work! I need to work overtime..."
"Alright, you've been working hard." Homura perked up. "So, what's the matter exactly?"

At the dining table.
They prepared simple food, such as onigiri.
After taking a few bites, Eriri immediately asked, "So, what's the deal with that girl?"
"Which one? Can you be more specific? I already replied to you, asking you to clarify, right?" Homura rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Although she was probably referring to Nayuta, bringing up this 'inappropriate' topic during the meal...

The time reached early morning.
The manga book signing event had not yet ended. Although there were fewer people, this day was still considered a holiday, so there were still quite a few night owls gathered.
The online platform was still buzzing...
"This is incredible! Minamiya-sensei's signing event hasn't ended yet!"
"It seems like as long as there are people lining up, Minamiya-sensei has no intention of stopping, right?"
"A truly admirable and dedicated manga...

Watching the two of them leave, Homura turned to the other fans and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone! Unexpected things happened, but please rest assured that I will make up for the time we've lost later!"
"It's alright! We understand! Who hasn't had a little accident before?" shouted one fan, and the others nodded in understanding, all smiling kindly.
Homura smiled as well and said, "It seems like everyone here is understanding! Please give us a little time. The staff will clean...

Only at the beginning did Homura say a few words; afterward, it was all brief expressions of gratitude, followed by signatures and handshakes.
Batch after batch, the crowd changed, and he found himself mechanically repeating the same process over and over again. Book signings were always monotonous, not only for the authors themselves but also for the fans.
The first group to leave proudly flaunted their obtained signatures on their social media.

Because he needed to prepare for the manga book signing event, Homura didn't go to school and took an early leave.
Early in the morning, Ayano brought him to the pre-announced venue.
Upon arrival, he secretly sneaked a glance at the main entrance...

Mashiro tilted her head in confusion and looked at Homura. After a brief moment, she asked, "Manga?"
"Perfect timing! It's not just me releasing a new manga this week. You're doing it too, right?" Homura replied.

Everyone nodded in agreement and then looked at Mashiro with a smile.

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."

Since it started like this, there was no choice but to continue!
Because Kotori, Umi, Hanayo, and Rin were all filled with anticipation, it wouldn't be fair to favor one over the others, right?
So, each of them received a personalized signature with their chibi version, including the trio supporters. He also signed for Nico's. He asked the girls to pass it along, or else, if she realized she didn't have it, she would definitely feel left out.

Homura began working on the fourth chapter!
Unlike before, this time it was the three first-years, especially the two, Rin and Maki, who had never seen him draw before were stunned, gaping at his inhuman speed.
In a short amount of time, manuscript after manuscript continuously appeared under his pen.
"Wow, amazing..." Rin murmured to himself, "I never expected that when Minamiya-sensei draws manga, he would be this fast!"

The reactions of the girls varied.
Honoka and Kotori were deeply moved. However, Honoka had a silly smile on her face, appearing somewhat embarrassed, while Kotori's eyes sparkled, and she murmured to herself, "If miracles had colors... they must be our nine colors, huh?"
What an embarrassing thing to say! Especially when said face-to-face! Just look at how Umi and Hanayo were almost too embarrassed to show their faces!
After asking Homura, Nozomi observed the reactions of e...

However, Homura was indeed fearless and just throw caution to the wind. If it were an ordinary person, it's likely that with just a little manipulation from someone with ulterior motives, exaggerated news and gossip would have spread like wildfire, right?
To be fair, Nozomi understood this as well. So she looked at him inquiringly, and he didn't say anything but gestured to reassure her.
Ayano also thought about it, but she was well aware of Minamiya Family's power and influence. ...

"Ayase-senpai, please touch your own conscience and tell me, if I didn't exist from the beginning, are you sure you wouldn't do and act the same as in the manga?" Homura said with certainty.
"Eli-chi would definitely do it, right?" Although it was a question, the certainty in Nozomi's words was evident!

The three girls were dressed in outfits that seemed to be a simplified version of the clothes depicted in Homura's drawings before. The only difference was the color. The original version of those clothes would likely be something Umi wouldn't even consider wearing.

Moreover, the idea of others going home with her after the trip and seeing how she and her father look at home... it's truly embarrassing!

When games and anime are produced simultaneously, it puts the most pressure on the animators. Because the script is universal, even if there are some problems, they can be slightly modified with ease, but it's not the same for the animation part.

Evening.
Homura was working on a work project plan, and although he had decided on the 'Fate' series as the theme, he still hadn't decided which specific work to use.
Moreover, he hadn't decided on the form of the work, whether it should be a game or an anime?
Anyway, he decided to write down some ideas first, and then ask everyone for their opinions later.
