章節 183: Treasure Hunt
Homura watched as Rin finished feeding a piece of chicken breast and wanted to continue, but he quickly stopped her.
"Rin, Haru has eaten enough. Feeding her more won't be beneficial." Homura said, and then thought in his mind, 'Isn't that right... Haru's satiety is already at 90... She might even feel a bit bloated.'
"Ohh..." Reluctantly giving up on the idea of continuing to feed, Rin still approached Haru and prepared to stay with her before training began.
Homura watched everyone's smiling faces and felt happy. Inviting everyone out to play this time was truly a great idea!
"Onii-chan! Why aren't you eating?" Tamaki, the little loli, had oil all over her face. She blinked her cute big eyes and walked up to Homura, asking him.
Homura took out a wet tissue and gently wiped the little loli's face before saying, "Because Onii-chan is a bit full, so I'll wait a while before eating."
"Ohh~!" Tamaki nodded, then ran back and shouted, "Onee-sama! Onii-chan wanted to wait a while before eating! Save some for Onii-chan!"
Homura became even happier. This little loli Tamaki actually cared and thought of him. She's such a thoughtful child!
Everyone laughed as well. As for saving some... no need to worry, they couldn't eat that much anyway. Despite the number of people, each person only ate one large potato after the meal, except for Tsumugi, who could eat a bit more. The others could hardly eat a few bites.
Kuroneko also smiled gently. "Tamaki is so considerate. Don't worry, there's more than enough food for everyone."
After wiping her hands, Honoka patted her own stomach and sighed, "During this camping trip, I didn't expect the most anticipated thing to be Homura-kun's cooking..."
Nico nodded in agreement. "Right, it's incredible that he can make such delicious food in the wilderness. It's hard to imagine what he could create with proper equipment..."
As they spoke, it seemed like they were lost in their own fantasies...
"Mugi... Did you know that your Homura-niisan's cooking skills are this amazing?" Ritsu nudged Tsumugi's arm, asking curiously.
"I didn't know..." Tsumugi shook her head, her eyes filled with some astonishment. "I suspect even Uncle Minamiya doesn't know about Homura-niisan's skills. His cooking abilities have already surpassed many famous chefs."
"Such high praise?!" Mio was taken aback!
"So..." Yui tilted her head, "Does that mean our meal is actually of top-notch quality?"
"Yeah, it should be on par with the finest restaurants in the country."
"Uh..." Yui covered her chest and looked at Ritsu. "Ricchan, what should we do? I feel like I've eaten a lot of money..."
Ritsu patted her shoulder and reassured her, "It's okay, Yui. Just think about it, all this time we've been drinking ultra-premium tea as if it were water, so..."
"We've already consumed a lot of money from the start anyway!"
Homura's body leaned to the side. These two really had a knack for theatrics, always putting on a show for no reason! Although it was entertaining, this sudden change of topic was a bit unexpected...

Muse went for training again, and there were many others accompanying them.
Homura comfortably lay on a lounge chair, studying the final skill in the pet system—Explore.
'What's the use of this strange skill in reality?' Homura pondered.
In the game, the Explore Skill allowed pets to venture out on their own and occasionally bring back items, sometimes even rare ones. However, the probability of obtaining rare items was incredibly low!
"Should I give it a try?" Homura stroked his chin and looked down at Haru, whispering, "Little one, I want to test a new skill. See if it has any effect, okay?"
"Meow? (A new skill? Like the kind that suddenly adds something to my mind?)" Haru sat on a box next to Homura, licking her paws. Upon hearing his words, she raised her head and asked.
"It's probably different from that. This skill is called Explore. I don't know what it does exactly, but because of its name, I haven't tried it at home. It's the perfect time to give it a try here in the mountains."
Haru tilted her little head and nodded, saying, "Meow~ (Okay... Let's give it a try.)"
"Alright, let's begin..."
Homura used the skill with his mind, and instantly, his energy decreased by twenty points! It startled him! Such a massive energy consumption?
Then he watched for the little one's reaction.
Suddenly, the little one froze and looked toward the forest.
"Meow~ (I feel like there's something over there...)" Haru said strangely. She didn't know how this feeling came about; it just popped into her mind—something was there!
"Can you sense what it is?"
"Meow~ (No, I just know there's something.)"
"And does this feeling persist?"
"Meow! (Probably not. It will disappear after a while.)"
Homura felt somewhat speechless. Shouldn't 'Explore' imply exploration? Why does it feel more like treasure hunting?
He stood up, preparing to move his body. "Well then, let's go and see! Let's find out what's there!"
Homura's voice attracted the attention of others. Elf asked, "Homura, what are you talking about?"
He reached out and touched Haru's head, smiling, "The little one feels that there's something over there, so I'm going on a treasure hunt."
Utaha shook her head, "Why does it sound so magical?"
"Isn't Haru-chan amazing right from the start? She has this incredible ability to sense someone's innermost feelings and decide whether to approach them or not. Isn't that magical already?" Eriri said.
"It seems interesting!" Yui suddenly became excited.
Not only Yui, but others also became somewhat interested!
Homura waved his hand, saying, "If you're interested, come along. I'll take two shovels, and then we'll set off."
Currently, among the people present, there were people from Another Dimension, Haru, and Light Music Club. Kirino went to train with Muse, while Kuroneko returned to the villa with her two little sisters and Saori because Tamaki was already tired and sleepy.
"Let's go!"
"Oh! Let's go!" Elf and Nayuta, who were excitedly following behind Haru, while the others watched with amusement, joined in. It could be considered a group activity. Even if they didn't discover anything, it would still be fun, right?
The little one walked slowly, occasionally standing still to adjust the direction slightly. They didn't go far, maybe around 200 meters, but it was relatively close to the villa.
Haru circled around a particular spot, carefully sensing that feeling. Finally, she stood under a tree.
"Meow~ (This should be it...)"
"Here?" Homura looked around curiously. "What could be here?"
Looking at the surroundings, Tsumugi suddenly appeared astonished.
"This place... feels somewhat familiar..."
