All the women went to rest individually, and Haru followed Sagiri.
Only Homura was left alone and entered the hot spring.
As soon as he entered, he looked at the stone hot spring pool and the misty surroundings. In his mind, the scenes of the women bathing in the hot spring appeared subconsciously.
Smiling and shaking his head, Homura comfortably leaned back in the hot spring, continuing to gaze at the starry sky.
Being alone was a bit boring, so Homura splashed around for a while. He glanced at the skill panel and noticed two new skills: Swimming and Diving. Additionally, due to his mastery of Tai Chi, both skills were already at level five.
Homura didn't take it seriously since these skills weren't of much use.
After messing around with the two skills, Homura felt restless again. He scratched his head and decided to think about how to arrange things for tomorrow.
"Camping is a must, and we need to bring a few tents. After all, we'll need a place to rest... As for the location, the mountain is a good choice. Find a flat area with a decent view."
"Or maybe we could go on an adventure? It shouldn't be too dangerous... Just wander around the mountain, relax if we want to relax, and train if we want to train. Sounds good."
"At night... should we organize a courage-testing event?" Homura thought for a moment but then decided against it. It wouldn't be fun without prior arrangements, and some people here would be easily scared, like Mio.
After thinking for a while and finding nothing else worth considering, Homura got out of the hot spring.
Once outside, he checked his blog first. After all, it had been a while since he posted any updates.
"It really whets the appetite! Give us some more information!"
"Saturday, huh! Three more days! How should I spend these three days?"
"Just endure it! We can't do anything about Minamiya-sensei anyway. By the way, does anyone know what Minamiya-sensei is up to? Should we form a team and look for him?"
"@MankeWeekly, where did Minamiya-sensei go? Give us some information!"
"The one above, nice try! But I don't think it's useful!"
Manke Weekly: "Take a guess!"
"The heck? Manke Weekly is cheeky too? Feels just like Minamiya-sensei!"
===
Homura's eyes twitched as he looked at the reply in Manke Weekly. He knew immediately that it must have been Ayano who did it!
"And they still want more information? I've already given them all the information. Anything more would be a spoiler."
After thinking for a moment, he took out the cover of 'Love Live!' and snapped a photo to send it.
Minamiya: (attached image)
"First!"
"Minamiya-sensei lurking at night!"
"They actually gave us a cover! Where is this?!"
"By the way, the girls on the cover are so beautiful. Are they the three girls from the previous video?"
"Turning reality into manga... Does anyone know what's really going on? Quick give us some spoilers."
"Hey comment above, that's going too far. Just because you want spoilers doesn't mean we all do!"
"Let's wait. Just three more days."
===
Homura stretched lazily and considered returning to his room to sleep, but shook his head.
He settled onto the sofa, feeling the moonlight shine upon him, and slowly drifted into sleep.
===
"Hmm?" Homura felt something fluffy beside him. As he opened his eyes, he saw the little one somehow sneaking out from Sagiri and the girls' room.
"How did you get here, little one?"
"Someone comes out in the middle of the night, so I follow along," Haru chirped. "Why are you sleeping here?"
"The moonlight was nice, so I didn't go back to my room," Homura replied, guessing that the girl who came out was probably going to the bathroom.
"How do you plan on reentering the room after coming out?"
Once the girl finishes using the bathroom and returns to the room, she naturally closes the door.
"I'll sleep wherever I want to sleep." Haru didn't seem to mind.
"Alright." Homura nodded, grabbing one of his own clothes. After lying on the sofa, he held Haru against his chest and covered her with the clothing, leaving only her head exposed.
"Then let's sleep together..."
The little one squinted her eyes, perhaps due to Homura's vigorous vitality. She felt warm and comfortable on his body.
One human and one cat soon entered the state of sleep.
===
As soon as it became light outside, Homura woke up.
He gently patted the little cat's head and looked at her drowsy expression. Homura chuckled, "Little one, I have to go prepare breakfast."
Haru let out a yawn, then stretched lazily before getting off him.
"By the way, what do you want to eat? Fish or should I make a cat meal with chicken breast for you?"
Haru listened and felt a bit conflicted. Both options sounded delicious!
"Forget it, anything is fine. I'm going to exercise." Haru shook her head abruptly and ran off. Choosing was just too torturous for a cat!
Homura: "..."
This little foodie has decision-making difficulties? He thought she would say she wanted both.
Homura proceeded to the kitchen to start his chores. After about fifteen minutes of bustling around, Megumi and Muramasa joined in to help.
Then came Nanami and Kuroneko.
Elf and Ritsu were still lazily asleep, and Homura didn't expect anything from them.
After the rest of the sleepyheads were awakened, the simple breakfast was quickly devoured.
After the meal, everyone gathered in the front hall, with chairs and sofas filled to the brim. There was almost no place left to sit.
Homura spoke up, "Does anyone have any plans for today? The members of Another Dimension are supposed to go camping in the mountains."
Saori was the first to speak, "Homura-shi! We will join you; we came here to have fun!"
"We'll practi—" Mio said, but...
"Mio! Let's go together too!" Ritsu happily interrupted Mio.
Yui couldn't help but nod, "That's right! Let's join Homuhomu-senpai and the others."
Mio: "..."
"But what about practice?"
"We can practice anytime." Ritsu laughed, "But right now, I want to play!"
Mio couldn't help but look at Tsumugi, hoping she would support her.
Tsumugi smiled awkwardly, her gaze shifting uncertainly, "Etto... how about we practice when we get back?"
Mio felt helpless... If nobody wants to practice, then she won't be able to practice either.
Homura also found this scene amusing. Ritsu and Yui only wanted to play, while Tsumugi always spoiled them. It seemed like Mio's desire to practice would be even more difficult to achieve.
Finally, he looked at the nine members of Muse...
