Sparking Attention

Meanwhile, on Homura's blog.

...

[Comment 1: Minamiya-sensei posted!]

[Comment 2: Minamiya-sensei's been kinda quiet lately. But what's up with this dancing thing?]

[Comment 3: Who doesn't need to chill sometimes? Another Dimension's on a roll with their stuff, and Minamiya-sensei's been busy with that signing event, so he's tired.]

...

Reading the comments, Homura couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thanks to this third comment for defending him.

...

[Comment 4: Yo, let's check out this video. It's super rare to see Minamiya-sensei dancing. I only caught him doing that pure land dance before, but this dance? Kinda risky, but totally got me intrigued.]

"..."

[Comment 5: Why suddenly so quiet?]

[Comment 6: Dude, everyone's watching the video, obviously.]

[Comment 7: Bro, forget the song, this dance is insane! Can humans even pull this off?]

[Comment 8: You saying Minamiya-sensei ain't human? Well, watching this, I think you're right.]

...

'Ain't human my ass!' Homura's temples throbbed. 

"Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, Elf burst into laughter, slapped the sofa, and continued scrolling through comments, laughing even harder.

Finally, she could have some real fun.

===

At the same time, at the editorial office of Manke Weekly.

Ayano, who was taking a break, suddenly sprayed water from her mouth.

*Cough!* *Cough!* *Cough!*

"Um... Sorry, choked a bit..."

After explaining to her co-workers, Ayano looked at the video on her phone with a bewildered expression.

"Homura... he looks really free and actually has time to dance something like this..." Ayano clenched her teeth. "But he actually created this kind of dance..."

"Ahh, I won't ask him for now. I'll have a proper rest before I do." Ayano shook her head.

She didn't want to get too involved for now.

After all, rest was more important!

Before long, as Ayano began to read the manuscript of 'Teasing Master Takagi-san' that Homura had sent her yesterday, a faint smile appeared on her face.

===

On the other side, Muse, who had just sent their poster for framing, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Homura-kun must have just returned, right?" Kotori asked, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead.

"You're right..." Umi nodded blankly.

"What kind of dance is this? It's just a combination of all sorts of complex moves, isn't it?!" Eli's forehead had a '#' as she complained. 

"Fufu, Eli-chi's standards for dances are still too high, it seems..." Nozomi chuckled.

"Maybe this is just Eli..." Nico pursed her lips. "You know, this music seems kind of addictive, don't you agree?"

"This guy... he loves creating these bizarre and addictive songs..." Maki rolled her eyes, her fingers twirling her hair to the rhythm of Homura's dance song.

"It looks like a lot of fun, nyaa! Rin wanna try it too!" Rin's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

"Wait, Rin-chan! Are you really going to try this? It looks dangerous!" " Hanayo gasped.

"I just have a feeling... that Rin can do it, nyaa!"

"Then I want to try it too!"

Another voice suddenly chimed in.

""Honoka?""

Everyone looked at Honoka with disbelief.

"Honoka-chan... are you serious?"

Kotori grabbed Honoka's hand, looking anxious.

She couldn't imagine Honoka pulling off those dance moves.

"Eh? What's wrong with singing?" Honoka asked with a puzzled expression.

Kotori: "..."

""Ohh, you meant singing...""

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, Homura-kun said we can freely cover it, right? I just think this song looks like a lot of fun! So, I want to give it a try!"

It was quite a straightforward reason!

"I'm going to pass on this one." Eli shook her head.

"I'm not singing it either." Maki joined.

Following suit, Nozomi, Nico, and Umi all expressed their unwillingness to sing the song.

"Kotori-chan..." Honoka looked at her best friend with hopeful eyes.

Since Honoka's gaze was just too irresistible, Kotori eventually agreed to sing alongside Honoka.

"Hanayo-chan..."

"Kayo-chin..."

Honoka and Rin simultaneously turned their gaze towards Hanayo.

"Well, I..." Hanayo hesitated.

"Hanayo-chan! If you don't want to sing, let's dance together!" Honoka suggested.

"Eh?" Hanayo replied with confusion. 

"What?! No way!" Hanayo vigorously shook her head. "I'll sing!"

""Yatta!""

Honoka and Rin high-fived in celebration.

Seeing this, Hanayo sighed.

And so, the nine of them eventually arrived in the music room.

After listening to the song a few times on the way, they should be able to sing along.

In less than ten minutes, Honoka, Kotori, and Hanayo had recorded the song, and now it was Rin's turn.

On the rooftop, it took Rin just three minutes to master the dance.

Knowing this, the others couldn't help but be amazed. While it wasn't the first time they had witnessed Rin's athletic talent, they still couldn't help but marvel.

"So... should we upload it to a video-sharing site?" Honoka scratched her head.

All nine of them contemplated the idea.

"How about we send it to Homura-kun?" Nozomi proposed with a slight smile.

Honoka's eyes lit up.

"Great idea!"

===

"Hmm?"

Hearing his phone ringing, Homura took it out and saw a message from Hanayo—a video message.

Upon opening the video, Homura couldn't help but be surprised.

As he watched it, a smile spread uncontrollably across his face.

"Senpai, what's going on?"

Nayuta, who had been keeping an eye on him couldn't help but ask upon seeing his sudden smile.

"Everyone, come and take a look! We have a pro!" Homura exclaimed.

"A pro?" Megumi's eyes gleamed. "So quick? Judging by your expression, it must be someone we know, right?

Homura chuckled and shook his head.

"Well, it's quite the twist. I just said nobody could pull it off, yet suddenly, here's someone who can. Never mind, I'll upload it directly. Everyone, check my blog."

...

[Minamiya: Hey guys, guess what? Got a sweet surprise today. I was just saying not many can do my dance move and bam, someone proved me wrong! Need to admit, it feels good to stand corrected. Remember, Remember, a little bragging's cool as long as it's done in moderation. Alright, no more talk, just check it out! (Video link attached)]

...

"It's definitely Rin-chan..." Megumi said with a sigh. "Only someone with Rin-chan's extraordinary athleticism could pull off Homura-kun's moves."

"Indeed, it's quite impressive. Moreover, it looks like they've already covered the song too." Utaha nodded in agreement. 

"Oh my, this is getting exciting again!" Elf got into high spirits once more.

...

[Comment 1: It's Rin-chan!]

[Comment 2: So awesome!]

[Comment 3: Rin's so lively and cute! I'm totally becoming her fan!]

[Comment 4: I mean, we knew Rin-chan was super athletic from the manga, but seeing her in real life is mind-blowing!]

[Comment 5: Seriously, Rin becoming a school idol feels like fate!]

[Comment 6: I kinda think all of Muse becoming school idols was bound to happen.]

[Comment 7: Can't wait for the next chapter of Love Live! Shit man, biweekly releases are killing me! I need more chapters ASAP!]

...

In the end, Muse sparked public attention once again.
