"Wow, amazing... Homura-chan is so amazing! And Nanami-chan too! You two have such great cooperation!" Shizuka was the first to speak and then applauded the two.
Nanami finally snapped out of her voice-acting state and blushed as she listened to Shizuka's praise.
"Wow, I'm really surprised... I thought I could make you lose face once!" Eriri felt a bit irritated. Why was it so hard to stump this guy ?!
Homura raised an eyebrow. "Does it make you feel so comfortable to make me lose face?"
Eriri nodded and said, "Of course! Who made you such an abnormal pervert?! It seems like you can do anything! Nothing can stump you at all!"
Homura was also frank. "What's abnormal about me? I can tell you for sure that there are probably many situations that can stump me besides ACGN and cooking."
"Wasn't the voice acting performance earlier not abnormal enough?" asked Eriri, turning her head to Utaha.
"There are always some people who are born like this. Maybe Homura-kun is one of them?" Utaha could not deny it.
Mashiro tilted her head and said confusedly, "Is Homura a master of otaku?"
"What the heck is master of otaku?!" Homura exclaimed in disgust.
"Is not?" Mashiro looked cute.
"Well... it seems so?" Homura was stunned, but it didn't sound very convincing.
'Fine, a master is good enough!' He shamelessly thought to himself.
"Nii-san! Next time, you must let me join! I can definitely help Nii-san!" Sagiri was also excited and hurriedly offered herself to Homura.
Homura rubbed Sagiri's little head and said, "Then study hard with these sisters and your mother!"
Sagiri nodded and leaned over to Shizuka, whispering, "Um, Mom, can you teach me more drawing techniques?"
Shizuka was excited and moved, hugging Sagiri and saying, "Don't worry, Sagiri-chan! Mom will teach you everything she knows!"
Then, in Sagiri's ear, she whispered, "So, Sagiri-chan, you have to work hard too! In all aspects!"
Sagiri covered her face, and she felt so embarrassed that she didn't want to show her face to anyone.
"By the way, have you thought about the game music, Homura-kun?" Megumi asked Homura about his next move.
"Is it going to be you again, Homura-kun?" After speaking, Megumi looked at him suspiciously.
Homura touched his head, looking like he had been caught red-handed.
Everyone: "..."
"You're also good at that!" Megumi's expression changed, "As expected, what Eriri said was right. Homura-kun, now I'm looking forward to seeing you being stumped."
Even Megumi was like this?! The people who wanted to stump him had formed an alliance!
"Well done, Megumi! Let's think of something together that can stump him!" Eriri happily said.
Megumi seriously thought something for a moment, "Maybe... he doesn't know how to make clothes?"
Megumi: "..."
That was fast!
Homura scratched his head, "Mm... I really don't know that. Mainly because it's not very useful for otaku culture."
"Cosplay?" Utaha suddenly interjected.
"I do know how to cosplay!" Homura replied.
Utaha shook her head and explained, "I meant making clothes related to cosplay. Isn't that also part of otaku culture?"
"I was thinking the same thing, Homura-kun," Megumi added.
Homura was speechless, "What kind of logic is that? Then, are you saying that people who make earthenware with clay can also make figurines?"
Eriri then smiled, "Hehe, but you can't deny that all of this falls under the realm of ACGN, even if it's just a by-product."
Homura sighed, "Alright! Alright! I was being too arrogant! I'll be more humble in the future."
The girls nodded. It turned out they were all pretending, afraid that Homura would become too full of himself.
Homura also reflected on himself, realizing that he didn't have unlimited skill points, and boasting that nothing could challenge and stumped him was just being overly arrogant.
"But music is definitely not a problem. How about we go to the recording studio tomorrow?" After reflecting on his previous thought, Homura looked at the girls and said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Eriri asked him seriously.
"You'll know when the time comes." Homura teased them.
Homura looked at Ayano, "Ayano, why are you so quiet?"
"Isn't this an internal matter between you guys? Of course, I can only quietly listen!" Ayano laughed and said.
"However, I am certain about one thing," she teased, waiting for someone to ask and piquing their curiosity.
Homura gave her face and asked, "What is it?"
Ayano let out a deep sigh and said emotionally, "I've come to the realization that every work you've created, from the beginning of "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun" to the latest "Your Name.", is a masterpiece."
"Ayano-san, you're wrong about one thing." Utaha corrected her, "The 'beginning' should be "Your Name."."
This was something that everyone in Another Dimension couldn't ignore.
Ayano looked at Homura who nodded and said, "It was "Your Name." that made all of these happen. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any of those manga at all. Have you forgotten the purpose of me drawing manga, Ayano?"
"To make money to produce a movie for...?" Ayano suddenly had a realization, "Ahh... I see, so that's how it is!"
"Speaking of which, did you come to me for something this time?" Homura asked.
Ayano smiled, "Can't I just come to just see and visit you?"
"Then are you here just to visit and spend time with me?"
"No, I'm here to sign a contract with you."
Homura: "..."
Bruh, isn't that 'for something' then?
Homura asked the question he cared about, "What did the Chief Editor say?"
"Biweekly magazine!" Ayano said directly, "It will be published in the Weekly Magazine, once every two issues."
Homura nodded and had a solution.
"I'm good, let's sign!" Homura readily agreed. This time, he didn't even bother to read the contract, not only because of his trust in Ayano but also because he was certain that Manke Bunko wouldn't dare to cheat him.
"Homura, can you guess how much the sales of the Weekly Magazine have increased compared to the previous record?" Ayano asked mysteriously.
"It can't have doubled, can it?" Homura replied casually.
"It hasn't yet, but it's getting there!" Ayano said, noticing his lack of interest. "It's already increased by 80%, but the rate of increase is slowing down."
This piqued his interest a little since he had a mission to complete.
"How much is it expected to increase?" he asked.
Ayano opened her phone and checked the records before replying, "It's expected to increase by 190%!"
"That's not bad at all!"
It looked like the reward for this mission would be good.
"Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is really popular now! There are so many people discussing it online," Ayano said excitedly. "Everyone is hoping for an anime adaptation!"
"People are already hoping for an anime adaptation?" Homura asked her. "Does Manke Bunko have any intention of doing that?"
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to him...
