Homura's uncontrollable excitement surged as he sent out a mass message to Eriri and the others, urging them to record videos.
"What's so special about this song?" Someone muttered in the crowd. "Is it a different style? But what's so special about that?"
"No lyrics maybe? That's pretty unique, right?"
"Nope, wrong answer, what a shame!" Honoka shook her head.
"Can we have a hint?" Someone from the crowd asked.
"Hmm..." Honoka furrowed her brow and began to ponder.
"A hint... Lyrics and composition." Honoka looked around at everyone and smiled. "How about that? Pretty obvious, right?"
"Lyrics and composition... If you're specifically hinting at that, then you mean your group didn't write the lyrics and composition?"
"Hey, this guy's guess is interesting! If it's not them who wrote the lyrics and composition..."
"Then it's Minamiya-sensei, right?"
"This is a song written by Minamiya-sensei! Am I right?"
"Bingo! Correct!" Honoka said cheerfully.
It wasn't just the spectators; even Kaguya and her group, as well as Fumino and her group, became enthusiastically engaged. Situations like this always pique people's interest.
"Next up! A song by Minamiya-sensei—'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (Gokuraku Jodo)'. Our performance for all of you!"
Homura playfully snapped his fingers and then started the accompaniment. The familiar faces among the crowd couldn't help but give him strange looks.
As the prelude began, everyone was amazed by its strong sense of rhythm. This song had only been heard by those in Another Dimensions and Muse, and its debut was indeed something else. It had an irresistible swaying effect!
Looking at the enchanting butterfly steps, many young ladies couldn't help but feel their hearts race!
The thought in their minds was unanimous—"I want to dance to this!"
"When moonlight climbs the sky~"
"And the lanterns are lit~"
"At the sign of festival music~"
"A butterfly extends an invitation~"
"Just peer inside and take a look~"
"Once you wander in, you can't escape!~"
"But if you wanna do something fun~"
"Come on over to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!~"
As she heard the song, Fumino couldn't help but blush slightly. 'The lyrics are so sensual, and it's really impressive that Minamiya-kun could write something like this...'
As the song progressed, Utaha and the others felt moved. They had seen videos of Homura dancing to this song before, so they understood that Honoka and the others had indeed practiced hard. With Eli's guidance, their performance was really fantastic!
"Let's try something 'fun'~"
In this part, due to the sensual move, perhaps due to embarrassment, the three girls of Muse, cleverly arranged their angles and positions so that the crowd didn't notice anything unusual and believed it was intended to be this way.
Homura chuckled and shook his head; this was a kind of cleverness.
Muse smoothly carried on, and soon, the song concluded as well.
All nine of them were sweating and catching their breath hard. No wonder, the choreography was quite demanding, especially following the three previous songs. Achieving this level as a newbie school idol was already impressive!
Despite that, Muse didn't show any signs of ending immediately. At the very least, they were going to do another song, but they needed a bit of a break.
As Homura thought about this, Nozomi's eyes subtly shifted, and her lips curved into a charming smile.
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
"Hey, everyone!" Nozomi panted, her body weary but still sporting a smile. "Wanna know a little tidbit?"
"Of course! Be it small or big, if it's some gossip, we're all ears!" Someone from the crowd responded.
"Alright then! No need to keep you all in suspense!" Nozomi glanced at Homura.
Homura's eye twitched and then sighed. It seemed like he had to sacrifice himself.
"So, the scoop is, besides composing and writing lyrics, Minamiya-sensei also choreographed this song!"
Everyone fell silent.
Elf, Megumi, Eriri, and Utaha exchanged knowing smiles, catching on to Nozomi's intention behind this revelation.
Nanami was slightly puzzled at first, but after a moment, she let go of her doubts.
Nayuta was ecstatic; no matter what Homura did, as long as he got to perform, she'd probably react the same way.
"Ehh?!" Fumino covered her mouth in surprise. "Minamiya-kun actually choreographed this sensual dance?!"
Recalling the dance moves of Muse girls earlier and replacing their faces with Homura's face, Fumino's expression turned absolutely horrified in an instant.
Others had similar reactions as her, but there were even more whose expressions were gradually turning mischievous.
Right on cue, Nozomi's voice rang out.
"Everyone! Wanna see Minamiya-sensei perform?"
""Absolutely!""
Nozomi beamed, turning to Homura.
"Then, let's invite Minamiya-sensei to give it a go!"
"...What about the song?" Homura asked tiredly while rubbing his face.
"What song?"
"For accompaniment. You're not planning to make me sing, are you?"
"It's in the laptop." Maki suddenly spoke up.
"..." Homura fell silent.
"Okay, okay! I'll do it alright!" Homura's mouth twitched and accepted his fate.
Seeing this, Nozomi simply smiled without saying anything.
Exiting the accompaniment folder and going to another song's folder, Homura indeed found several completed songs, including the ones Muse had sung just now, plus the ones he had given them in the past.
"Alright then, leave the stage to me." Homura beckoned and, with a wave, handed control of the laptop to Maki.
"Take a good break for a while; next up is your final performance." Homura whispered as he bypassed them.
Nozomi temporarily turned off her microphone and chuckled. "Yeah, we've decided the same. This dance is pretty tiring, so we'll let Homura-kun take the spotlight as we rest."
"I get it." Homura nodded and turned to face the crowd.
"By the way... Why am I always on stage?" Homura muttered to himself. "Clearly, I'm not the main character today..."
"But the main character today specifically requested you on stage!" Someone in the crowd teased.
""Hahaha~!""
"Right..." Homura shrugged, raising his hands. "Let's just say I'm a special guest performer!"
"I'm a Mangaka, mind you... yet they make me dance. Such a weird feeling..." Homura muttered again with a hint of bitterness.
"But wouldn't drawing a manga at a concert be even weirder?"
"Huh? That actually makes sense! Hahaha!" Homura laughed, though he knew he was deliberately playing along with them, the feeling of quipping with the crowd was quite enjoyable.
"Alright then! Let's stop chit-chatting and get started for real!"

"Alright then! Let's stop chit-chatting and get started for real!"
Stepping back a few paces, Homura gestured with a snap of his fingers.
*Snap!*
Soon after, the music began to play, and almost everyone simultaneously raised their phones and started recording Homura!
This time, his dance movements weren't a girlish move like what Muse did before or when he did a tutorial video for Muse in the past. He put a lot of force into them.
Even though the movements were nearly the same, they looked incredibly cool rather than girlish and sassy.
"Why does it feel different from Muse?" Yui scratched her head, she distinctly remembered the movements being the same.
"It definitely feels different..." Elf nodded in surprise. "It's totally different from that video!"
"Video?" Yui asked curiously. "What video?"
"It's a dance video that Homura recorded at the hot spring villa before you guys arrived. Maybe it was for instructional purposes? Homura intentionally danced... Well, let's just say, he danced like a girl." Eriri replied.
"What?!" Ritsu exclaimed. "There's a video like that? But we didn't see it! Mou~! I really want to see it!"
"Right! Right! I really want to see Homuhomu-senpai's dance video!" Yui's eyes lit up.
"This kind of topic can't go on without me!" Chika chimed in. "I bet everyone who hasn't seen it wants to, right, Kaguya-san?"
"Ehh?!" Kaguya was caught off guard as the focus suddenly shifted to her. "Uh, well... yeah, I do want to see it, to some extent..."
Her voice grew quieter, but still audible.
"See! Kaguya-san wants to see it too! So, let's rebel!" Chika nodded satisfied.
""Rebel?!""
The girls exclaimed simultaneously.
'All of this over a video? Is it really worth making such a fuss?' Every girl except Chika thought the same.
"Something feels off, though?" Chika scratched her head in confusion. "Hmm, shouldn't it be... a joint petition?"
"..." Everyone fell silent.
"Yosh, let's just form an alliance! We'll make Homura-kun hand over the video!" Chika decided, then pondered. 'No matter how I think about it, something doesn't seem right. Maybe the most straightforward approach is best!'
Elf and Eriri exchanged a glance and silently mourned for Homura.
"But then again... Why does Minamiya-sensei manage to convey two different feelings while performing the same moves?" Uruka asked in wonder.
"This time, Minamiya-kun added more masculine energy to the dance..." Kaguya explained. As a member of the Shinomiya family, she had undergone dance training, so it wasn't surprising that she noticed something.
"Masculine energy?"
"Look, even though Minamiya-kun is using the same dance moves as Muse, he always seems to be putting in a lot more effort and power."
As Kaguya explained, everyone mentally compared Homura's dance with Muse's, realizing that it was indeed true. They all nodded in agreement.
In truth, dancing was incredibly easy for Homura, who possessed excellent control over his body. He could be soft or powerful as he wished, and combined with his body's coordination and Choreography Skill from the System, dancing was undeniably simple for him.
During Muse's performance earlier, many girls were impressed. This time, with Homura's, some men's eyes also gleamed!
It was foreseeable that both Muse's and Homura's versions would be studied by countless people, inevitably causing a sensation on the internet.
The venomous 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (Gokuraku Jodo)' was about to make a grand entrance!
As the dance reached its most captivating and sensual phase, Muse was behind Homura this time, so they missed out. However, the rest of the girls who had secured the best positions naturally took up the spots where he should have faced.
"Let's try something 'fun'~"
As the lyrics reached this point, the seductive move should have involved leaning forward slightly, extending the index finger, and tilting the head to the side, followed by a playful shoulder shake.
But Homura decided to play it in his own way, giving the index finger a quick flick and adding a wink when he turned his head with a smile.
"Kyaaa~!!!"
"Ah~! Mommy~! I think I'm in love!"
"I'm in love too! No way! You can't steal him from me!"
Women in the crowd exclaimed excitedly after witnessing Homura's move.
"Fuck! I'm actually feeling something!" A man in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, and the surrounding men instantly scattered in fear!
Homura's performance truly caused chaos.
As they watched Homura's performance, Eriri and Utaha blushed. Eriri even felt her nose itching like crazy!
Nanami had the strongest reaction, much like Kaguya earlier. She covered her face and crouched down, avoiding eye contact.
Nayuta and Sagiri had dreamy smiles, lost in thought. They were probably replaying the scene in their minds over and over.
Elf and Tsumugi held their hands over their hearts, feeling their heartbeats racing.
Mashiro, Muramasa, and Rizu had similar reactions; their faces turned slightly red. They felt something peculiar stirring within themselves, but what exactly was it?
Izumi and Moeha shared similar faint blushes. Moeha even felt like she might be in love. Similarly, the expressions on Fumino and Uruka's faces were those of embarrassment and warmth.
Miyako held Nayuta's hand with uncertainty, while Kaguya gripped Chika's hand firmly.
Chika herself was momentarily stunned and blushed as he watched Homura's performance.
"If only he could be a bit more assertive..." Chika muttered softly.
Megumi, the most composed of them all, wore only a faint smile on her face. However, upon closer inspection, her neck revealed a crimson hue!
Saori, Kirino, and Kuroneko didn't react much. Yui, Ritsu, and Mio just felt a flutter in their hearts, similar to seeing something they liked. Though, if Saori were in her 'Ojou-sama' mode, she might react differently.
Homura probably couldn't imagine that such a simple move could have such an impact! And the reach was so broad—not even men were immune to him!
"Shocking... Th-This man... Could it be that Furuhashi and Ogata... No, they're just students! It might be necessary to talk to them!"
In the crowd, a figure who had followed Fumino's group earlier muttered.
===
The 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (Gokuraku Jodo)' had ended once again but everyone felt reluctant as if they hadn't had enough!
"Let's do it again!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"..." Homura was speechless.
"Let's skip that, you guys can do it yourselves." Homura chuckled. "Just upload your video to the video site later, and you'll all have fun dancing together."
He was determined to carry out his 'poisonous' plan to the end!
"Okay, next, let's give the stage back to Muse!" Homura waved his hand.
"Everyone, did Minamiya-sensei do well?!" Honoka shouted to the crowd.
""Great!""
"A pity I couldn't watch~!"
Honoka spoke playfully, but soon, her expression turned serious.
"Now, it's the final song. Even though it's hard to say goodbye, it's inevitable. It's not just a matter of our limited stamina, but also that we don't have so many songs to sing."
"In the future, we will work even harder. We hope everyone will enjoy our concert and hopefully, more people will become interested in our school, Otonokizaka High School!"
"So... for our final song—"
"'We Are a Single Light (Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari)'!"
