Kapitel 68: Haru still Feels the Most Comfortable!

Homura also saw their reactions and secretly chuckled.

At first, Haru was quite afraid of Yugo, as she looked at his towering height and thought he was a giant. Homura quietly explained to her that he was Nana's younger brother and also Hachi's family.

After that, Haru was no longer afraid of him.

"It seems that Hachi is also very happy to see Haru-chan!" Nana also said happily while watching Hachi playing around with Haru.

"Yes, it's been almost a week since we last saw each other, right? Haru has become much livelier now!" Homura nodded in agreement. After all, this younger brother was the only one that Haru could meet now.

Homura looked around at the sakura trees surrounding them. It felt so good to be surrounded by sakura!

"I wish there was a gust of wind now!" he exclaimed. "Then I could finally see the long-awaited rain of sakura petals!"

"Do you really like sakura that much, Homura-kun?" Nana asked curiously.

"Compared to when they're just hanging on the tree, I prefer the feeling of sakura petals dancing in the air. I think that's the most enchanting moment for sakura." That was Homura's own viewpoint. The sakura petals were the most beautiful when they were in motion.

"Oh... I never knew you had such thoughts, Homura," Eriri responded, slightly shy when she called out Homura's first name at the end.

"Speaking of which, I have many works about sakura's theme in my head! After 'Your Name.' is finished, our next work will be related to sakura! How about that?" Homura's words piqued the curiosity of everyone.

"What is it? What is it? Is the next work a game again?" The manga editor was the first to ask.

"I don't think so. But I'll let Ayano answer that question!"

"Why me? Is it related to me?" Ayano asked confusedly.

"Of course, it's related! You're my editor, so you should know my income and can calculate it for me. If it meets the requirements for making an anime movie, then I definitely won't be making games anymore!" Homura replied confidently.

"I see! Then when will this next work be completed?" Ayano asked but then realized that there were some issues, "Huh? Wait, you said if your game is finished, you will make a new anime movie? Won't you continue working on the game?"

"Of course, we'll continue working on it! That's why I'm asking you!" Homura replied.

Ayano felt like the next work was going to be postponed for a long time.

Suddenly, Ayano said weakly, "Ah, never mind. Let's not worry about it now. Let's finish the current work first before thinking about the next one."

Ayano's enthusiasm waned in an instant. Even if Homura worked overtime, and the game was completed in half a month, she still felt that there would be several months before the next work would be released. Homura's words sounded like a joke.

"Is Homura-kun also making games?! I was already scared when you said you were working on two manga last time, but I didn't expect there to be other works!" Nana looked at him in amazement. "Iron Man is nothing compared to you, right?"

Homura touched his hair and laughed heartily.

"Haha, you're overestimating me, Nana. Our group is full of experts, and they're all here now! It's not just me alone working on this, you know!"

"Even though they're the same age as Homura-kun, they're already so amazing!" Nana turned to her younger brother. "If Yugo could have half of your abilities, that would be great!"

Yugo's expression didn't change, but Homura saw his eye twitch involuntarily.

Yugo was probably feeling helpless too, right? It was such a rare experience to see so many 'competent and talented' people mingle together!

The group listened to Nana's words and could only awkwardly smile politely, ending the topic. Comparing oneself to 'competent and talented' people was a topic that no one liked to hear, and continuing on would only invite annoyance.

Suddenly, Ayano's phone rang.

Who could be calling so early?

"Hello, It's me... What? The major bookstores have added more orders?... Wow~! That's great! This time, our Manke Bunko is going to rise!"

Homura understood the situation upon hearing it.

The major bookstores saw that the Weekly Magazine was selling well and added a lot of stock requests at the last minute. This was good news for him, as he would be receiving more money! He might even be able to reach the requirement for making a movie in a few days!

Watching Ayano hang up the phone, Homura asked, "Do you need to go back?"

"Not at all! It's just that they are too excited; they just wanted to inform me of this good news!" Ayano replied with a cheerful smile.

"Now, not only our province but the bookstores in the entire country are also sending in orders one after another. Minamiya-sensei, you can keep climbing higher! If we keep going at this rate, the next work you mentioned earlier should already be on the schedule! Who knows, we might even be able to smoothly transition to it!"

Ayano's excitement rose again as she spoke a lot, giving ideas to Homura while also looking forward to the future.

After she finished speaking, the reactions of the people were mixed. Most of the members from Another Dimension were happy, not just for Homura but for themselves as well.

The Okami siblings were looking at Homura as if he were a rising star!

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Homura shrugged, "Don't treat me like some big shot. I'm just someone who wants to recommend my favorite works to everyone. Manga, games, anime, and movies are just means to an end."

Everyone: "..."

Although your sincerity is full, the way you said it seems a bit smug!

But it was also useful, dispelling the slight feeling of alienation that the Okami siblings had just felt. Their gaze had returned to normal.

Seeing that everyone didn't know what to say, Homura just went over to Haru's side and even patted her brother. Hachi, with his big eyes, looked at his sister's new family in a daze, but he didn't seem to have any negative feelings toward Homura.

After enjoying patting for a while, Homura finally nodded and confidently said, "Umu, Haru still feels the most comfortable!"

Seeing Nana's dark expression, is it really okay to pat someone's cat and then say that?

Feeling a bit embarrassed under her resentful gaze, Homura thought for a moment and then picked up Haru and put her in Nana's arms. "Don't believe me? Try touching her."

Nana: "..."

Everyone: "..."

What kind of tactic is this?

Last time, Nana had touched Haru and couldn't help but touch her a few more times. She suddenly looked surprised and said, "Huh? It does feel really comfortable to touch her!"

Maybe it was because Haru had grown a few levels since last time?

But Homura had no intention of explaining, and just said with a proud look, "See, I told you so, didn't I?"
