"By the way, has the date for the school open day been confirmed?"
Maki asked, raising the main issue.
"On May 22nd." Nozomi nodded.
"What?!" Hanayo blurted out hurriedly. "Is the moment that will decide the life or death of our school really coming so soon?"
"So, let's temporarily suspend our individual practice." Umi suggested. "Our performance in the open day is the most crucial thing for us."
"Yeah! Because we're school idols!" Honoka raised her hands.
The nine girls nodded firmly.

Evening.
"Can everyone take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added?" Homura asked, turning his laptop to the side.
"Senpai, what did you do?" Nayuta asked curiously.
"I made an official website for our circle; it's not the casual webpage we had before." Homura explained. "I've included information about Another Dimension, our members, and our works, and I've hosted the website on my family's server."
As soon as he said that, the girls became interested. They left their desks, and even Muramasa wasn't an exception.
After all, it was their circle!
"Wow, the background's a giant planet with a circle logo on it... Oh? Why's Haru-chan lying on it?" Elf said, then she noticed something strange. "This planet's also spinning!"
Even Haru got closer, looking somewhat surprised.
"Ah~ Haru-chan is yawning!" Nayuta pointed at Haru's animation on the website.
"It looks really nice... but isn't this website, you know, a bit heavy? It seems to be quite demanding on the device's specs." Eriri scratched her head.
"It's fine." Homura waved his hand nonchalantly. "As long as you're not using a device that's over a decade, it'll be okay. Let's keep it like this for the homepage."
He switched to the list of members.
A closed book image appeared in front of everyone. A row of bookmarks with each member's name was on the side. It seemed that clicking on a bookmark would take the visitor to the corresponding page in the book.
"I can tell now; it's all resource-intensive..." Utaha sighed in resignation.
Elf grasped the laptop's mouse and clicked on her own name.
On the screen, Elf had her right eye closed, a confident smile on her face. One hand was hidden behind her neck, and the other was making a V sign. This picture appeared on the left page of the book, while the right page displayed her profile.
...
Pen Name: Yamada Elf
Real Name: ???
Age: ???
Original Works: Dark Elf of Blazing Inferno
Abilities: God's Eye, Summon Darkness
Role: Scriptwriter
...
"Nice!" Elf nodded in satisfaction. "Let me see Hana's."
Without delay, Elf clicked on Senju Muramasa's name, but there was a difference.
"Why is it just a silhouette?" Elf exclaimed.
"Muramasa may not want to show her face... that's why I did it like this." Homura shrugged his shoulders.
"Even though it's just a silhouette, you can still see some characteristics of Hana." Elf furrowed her brow.
"Elf-chan, don't worry." Megumi chimed in. "You're just familiar with Muramasa-chan, so it's natural for you to make the connection."
Hearing that, Elf turned to Muramasa.
"What do you think?"
"It's fine." Muramasa shook her head.
"So, you really don't plan to show your face?" Elf inquired.
Muramasa actually thought for a moment before answering.
"I'm afraid it's too troublesome..."
That made sense.
Muramasa didn't care how her fans saw her; she just wanted to write something interesting for her own satisfaction!
"Are the rest of us just silhouettes?" Eriri asked.
"Nope." Homura shrugged. "At least those of us who have shown our faces in public aren't silhouettes."
After saying that, he clicked on his own, Utaha, Mashiro, and Muse's girls. Finally, he returned to the book, and clicked on the cover, revealing a photo of Haru and some information.
...
Name: Haru
Nickname: Haru-chan, Little One (Exclusive to Minamiya Homura)
Age: Less than one year
Role: Mascot, Circle's Pet
...
Seeing Haru's information, the girls were left speechless.
Homura had even added Haru to the mix!
"I was wondering why I didn't see Haru-chan's name... Well, with Homura-kun loving and pampering Haru-chan so much, it's impossible to forget her..." Megumi quipped.
Everyone nodded understandingly.
Regardless, they all truly admired Homura's affection for Haru.
"So... it's just that, and the rest is just silhouettes?" Eriri nodded. "By the way, did you really include Muse?"
"Obviously. We'll need them for the game's dubs." Homura answered, paused for a moment, and then continued. "At least, I think it would be nice if Eli-senpai or Maki sang the theme song."
"Senpai! Have you written the theme song already?" Nayuta was astonished.
"Yep, I worked on it after returning to my room yesterday."
"I want to hear it!" Nayuta exclaimed, her eyes shining.
"We'll talk about it later, okay? Let's get this website online first." Homura shook his head.
"Fine..." Nayuta pouted and answered reluctantly.
"Is there anything else?" Izumi asked, wondering.
She had just seen her name but felt too embarrassed to look and didn't know how she was introduced. Would it be awkward if people saw that she wasn't actually a member of Another Dimension?
"There's also our works' information." Homura returned to the homepage and entered the works section.
This page felt like a display case you could scroll through endlessly, showcasing various circles' works. Right now, though, there were only two—'Your Name.' and 'Fate/stay night'.
However, 'Fate/stay night' still had no information.
The character designs released yesterday had been turned into cards by Homura, and the cards' information consisted only of question marks. Aside from the already-revealed Artoria, he had also included Emiya Shiro.
"Homura-kun, you've done a great job!" Utaha exclaimed. "Honestly, I find it quite eye-catching. I can't help but want to click on everything."
"Do any of you have any suggestions? Like any strange parts that need to be modified or how you'd like your personal information to be presented, you can tell me." Homura turned his head and observed everyone.
The girls exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"You know this the best. If you're okay with it, then it's fine." Eriri shrugged her shoulders.
"Alright, let's leave the interface as it is then. You all can check your personal information yourself." Homura nodded.
Izumi was the most impatient one and, taking the first spot in the queue, clicked on her bookmark name.
It was no different from the others, except for an additional note.
[Note: An exchange student from Rouge en rouge, Minamiya is trying hard to make her transfer to Another Dimension.]
"..."
Izumi was speechless.
