章節 137: Fourth Chapter and Signature
Homura began working on the fourth chapter!
Unlike before, this time it was the three first-years, especially the two, Rin and Maki, who had never seen him draw before were stunned, gaping at his inhuman speed.
In a short amount of time, manuscript after manuscript continuously appeared under his pen.
"Wow, amazing..." Rin murmured to himself, "I never expected that when Minamiya-sensei draws manga, he would be this fast!"
"Is this guy still a normal person?" Maki expressed doubt.
"Hehe..." Kotori chuckled.
"Of course!" Honoka nodded, though her expression gradually became uncertain. "Maybe... probably... he is a normal person, right?"
She used several uncertain words in a row and even ended with a question?! Honoka, are you serious?
Maki: "..."
This time, even the others, including Ayano, had a smile on their faces when seeing Honoka's antics.
After a while, he finally completed the fourth chapter!
He looked up at the eagerly anticipating girls and smiled. "If you want to see it, go ahead! The fourth chapter is ready!"
"Yay!" The most lively Honoka and Rin, as well as Hanayo, who loves idols the most, cheered and snatched the manuscript from his hands.
"I took a look while you were drawing," Ayano spoke up. "If it weren't for our presence, I'm afraid things would have unfolded just like in the manga, right?"
She continued, "It's as if you can see through the future, no, rather... you can see through the personalities, behaviors, and even the way they spoke of each and every one of them... What a frightening guy..."
'What the heck? Am I that frightening in your eyes? At most, this can be considered a unique ability to foresee the future, right? What's so frightening about that?' Homura thought speechlessly in his mind.
Unfortunately, he couldn't explain; he could only stay silent. However, it was true that he knew more about those nine girls than they imagined, considering he had watched and read their legends from his past world!
"Ahh!!!" Rin exclaimed, "The things from my childhood were drawn almost perfectly!"
Umi's voice was somewhat low as she said, "What is this... even the things I imagined, Homura-kun can draw them without any flaws... hehe... hehe..."
"I feel like Umi-chan is broken..." Honoka whispered.
"Would I have interacted with Nishikino-san in a situation like this?" Hanayo said quietly. "I feel like there's no sense of disharmony at all and... it feels so natural."
"You're right..." Maki was somewhat dazed. "It's as if it really happened, but we just forgot."
"I feel like Hanayo-chan and Maki-chan have gotten closer," Honoka murmured.
"By the way, do I really give off such an insincere impression?" Maki's mouth twitched fiercely. "And my mom's reaction too..."
"Oh~" Nozomi stared at her with a teasing look. "Maki-chan is truly a tsundere."
"Senpai!"
"On another note..." Eli also said, "Looking at it this way, Nozomi, it seems like you knew everything from the beginning. The hints in this drawing are too obvious, don't you think?"
"Eh~? Who knows~?" Nozomi pretended not to understand and continued reading.
Eli, on the other hand, affirmed that her own guess was definitely correct!
"By the way! I welcome everyone to come to my house and play! The snacks there are really delicious!" Honoka flipped to the part where Hanayo unexpectedly visited her home and extended a direct invitation to everyone.
Although no one had been to her home except Umi and Kotori, it didn't stop Honoka from inviting them.
"Um... I'll consider it," Hanayo said anxiously. She had accidentally discovered the secret between Honoka and Umi in the manga, but who would have thought it would be so terrifying?!
Umi felt utterly embarrassed! Wasn't this slander?! She only imagined herself on the stage at most, but she have never done something so embarrassing as practicing alone!
"Ahaha..." Honoka scratched her head awkwardly. "I have a feeling that when Yukiho sees this scene, she'll go crazy... or something like that."
"By the way, Kayo-chin, take off your glasses and let us see, nyaa!" Rin said, her face filled with anticipation.
"That's right! Hanayo-chan will look even cuter without them! Plus, I want to see if Homura-kun drew you accurately!" Honoka agreed and took off Hanayo's glasses while she was still hesitating.
"Wow~" all the girls exclaimed. "So cute!"
"Um..." Hanayo rubbed her hands. "Can I have them back, please?"
"From now on, Hanayo-chan, wear contact lenses when you practice!"
"Okay..." Her reply was barely audible, but they all heard it.
"Have you all finished reading?" Homura asked. "After you finish, please give me the original manuscript. I need to keep it safe, as Ayano and I will be heading home soon as well."
Kotori nodded. "Yes, tomorrow Homura-kun has a signing event, and there are many things to take care of, right?"
"Oh! I almost forgot! Let's all go together to Homura-kun's signing event tomorrow?!" Honoka suggested.
Before anyone else could agree, he quickly intervened.
"You have classes tomorrow! And after class, you'll have to practice too, right? After all, new members have joined, so it's not a good time to relax so soon!"
"But... Homura-kun has always supported us, and it's your signing event. We want to contribute as well!" Kotori retorted.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. 'This is what I was afraid of. I know you'll all do your best to help me, but this signing event is unlike any ordinary one.'
At this moment, Ayano came to his rescue. "It seems like you're underestimating this signing event. Judging from the buzz on the internet, it's very likely that the signing event starting in the afternoon will continue until midnight."
"!!!"
"Until midnight?!" All the girls exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes!" Ayano nodded. "Think about it. By the time you finish school, the signing event will have been going on for a while. Who knows how long the queue will be? If you really go, you might have to wait until the evening."
The women were entangled in their thoughts, but fortunately, Homura was well-prepared.
"I understand your intentions! However, there's no need for you to come to the scene. Let me sign them for you first." Homura pulled out over a dozen manga books (tankobon) of 'Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun' from his bag. These were the ones he requested to Ayano early in the morning.
"Do you want them?" Homura shook the book in his hand.
"Of course!"
"Well, if you don't want them, I could only return them back..." Homura joked.
"Stop teasing!" Honoka patted his shoulder. "It's Minamiya-sensei's signature! Who knows how many people want it!"
Everyone remained silent.
In the silence, Honoka was feeling curious, so she looked down...
"Ahh! Sorry!"
Homura was in the middle of signing when she patted him, causing him to stagger which messed up his signature.
"Alright! This one is for Honoka!" Umi said expressionlessly.
"Why?!" Honoka looked distressed.
Luckily, he was not just any mangaka. Following the crooked line, he directly drew a chibi version of Honoka on it!
Instantly, the value of this signature reached a new level!
"Yay! Give it to me! I want this one!" Honoka couldn't wait and snatched it away. Then she held it like a treasure, giggling foolishly.
