Chương 74: Drawing Manga on the Spot

A group of people walked, stopped, observed, and took photos of the school, occasionally giving explanations to Homura.

Homura was very satisfied with this Love Live's holy land! Yes, he really thought so! Is there anything better than having the members of Muse personally take you to tour the holy land?

Of course, it would be even better if all nine members were present! Homura couldn't help but think.

They visited all the places in the school, including classrooms, the student council room, the rooftop, and the director's office. Homura even went to see the two alpacas, but he didn't get too close because he didn't want to be sprayed in the face with saliva.

Everyone sat down under a sturdy tree, and Ayano asked Homura how he felt.

"Homura, how do you feel?"

Homura gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's pretty good!"

"Oh~! Can we start drawing manga now?" Honoka's eyes shone as she asked.

Everyone: "..."

"This is just the background, the stage for the story! Aren't characters the most important part of the manga?" Homura finally retorted to Honoka.

"Okay, it's your turn now!" Homura picked up a pen. "Tell me everything from when you first found out about the school closure, including all your actions, conversations, and details!"

The girls shuddered, including Eli and Nozomi. After all, it was embarrassing to tell a boy every detail of their life.

Even Umi wanted to run away, but she was grabbed by Kotori.

"Just kidding, just tell me the daily routine, but be sure to explain the key parts in detail, including conversations, decisions, and behavior." Homura was afraid of scaring them away, so he had to reassure them.

"Oh, by the way, Ayase-senpai, did you bring the student roster?" Homura suddenly remembered.

Without seeing the remaining member, how could Homura avoid suspicion without the roster? So he had to ask.

"Do we really need the roster?" Eli frowned. "Can't we just draw anyone we want?"

"Anyone else can, but can they become members of Muse?" Homura smiled and asked back.

Before Eli could say anything, the vice president had already taken out the student roster from somewhere and handed it to Homura with a grin.

Eli: "..."

'Nozomi, how come you have the roster? You already know everything after all!'

"Haha, you've been a big help!" Homura excitedly took it and said to them after flipping it open, "While you were telling me the story, make sure you let me know who appears!"

What else could they do? It had already reached this point, and even Kotori showed Homura a recent photo of her mother, who was also the director of the Otonokizaka High School.

The following was a nearly three-hour-long reminiscing and storytelling session from everyone. They didn't hide anything, including the fantasies that Umi had while practicing archery, which she shamefully revealed, making everyone look at her oddly.

'I didn't expect you to be such a person, Umi-chan! You're so cute~!'

Umi could see this information from the eyes of both Honoka and Kotori.

'Aah! How embarrassing! I want to die!" Umi covered her head, looking crazy.

Honoka smiled and went over to grab Umi's hand. "Let's work hard together, Umi-chan! And you too, Kotori-chan!"

Kotori also listened to Honoka, and she went over as well, taking Umi's other hand.

Umi smiled bitterly, "I really can't do anything about you guys!"

"How was it, Minamiya-san? Did what we said help you?" Eli asked Homura, confirming.

"Just wait a moment..." Homura closed his eyes and recollected what they had just said, as well as her memories from his past life. He kept comparing and rearranging them...

Three minutes later, Homura opened his eyes.

"Yosh!"

He took out his tools from his bag and began drawing as if nobody else was there.

"..."

"!!!"

"!!!!!"

Ayano couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! This is truly insane..."

After exclaiming, everyone couldn't help but stare at him carefully, watching as one manuscript after another appeared under the pen of Homura. They watched as the character in the manga, who could be said to be completely identical to themselves, came to life. Not a single person disturbed him.

After a long while, Homura finished the first chapter of the anime version of Love Live!

'They've all been animated, but now it can only be turned into a manga first, and later could be made into an anime!' Homura said inwardly; he handed the manga manuscript to everyone for inspection. "The current flaw is that I haven't seen Honoka-san's home, so I didn't draw the background there, nor her family's faces."

The five students from Otonokizaka gathered around to look at it, and the three second-year students were absolutely dumbfounded, with their mouths wide open.

Even the two members of the student council were amazed and couldn't believe how talented Homura was. The plot in the manga was something they had experienced firsthand, and Homura had almost completely replicated it, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

'Were all mangaka this talented?' That's what they all thought.

They are thinking too much. Only Homura is this talented because he is cheating.

"So amazing... truly amazing!" Honoka was thrilled. Seeing such a talented mangaka, wasn't this the best promotion for them?

"That's right! Homura-kun, why don't you come to my home? It's such a shame not to draw Yukiho and Mom's faces!" Honoka directly invited Homura.

"Wait! Honoka-chan, you're too eager! Let's wait until school is finished before we decide, okay?" Kotori quickly stopped Honoka who was jumping for joy.

"Why... why can you draw the clothes that I imagined?" Umi was about to collapse.

"Well, I just drew them according to the light and airy feeling of an idol. I didn't expect it to be so in line with your taste!" Homura had to say this to avoid spoilers.

When Umi heard him say that, she felt embarrassed and her heart almost gave out.

Honoka and Kotori continued to comfort her.

Kotori thought to herself, 'So Umi-chan likes this type of thing? Why don't we do something like this for our first performance? Maybe it will be easier for Umi-chan to accept being an idol that way!"

Hmm, as expected, Kotori was being sneaky again, trying to play a trick on Umi. But it didn't matter because Homura had the most say in this matter, and if Umi got too embarrassed, maybe she would become immune to it!

"What do you think, Eli-chi?" asked Nozomi of her reserved friend.

"Maybe... it really can succeed..." Eli muttered softly, and at the same time thought, 'This should be the closest path to our goal...'
