Chapter 14: Kato, Keep Your Hair Long
"Another Dimension?" the others repeated instinctively.
"Well, that's not a bad idea!" Eriri nodded in agreement.
"It means that our every new work is from Another Dimension?" Utaha murmured to herself. "Not bad at all!"
"What about you, Kato? What do you think?" Homura asked Megumi.
"It's great, Minamiya-kun," Megumi nodded.
Homura summarized, "Then it's decided! Our club will be called the 'Another Dimension Club'!"
Literally, Utaha understood the meaning correctly, but there was something Homura didn't say about the real 'meaning' of the club 'literally'...
To commemorate their club's appearance in "Another Dimension," the club's future works would also come from 'another dimension'.
"Alright! We've achieved all our goals today, and even exceeded expectations!" Homura said, surprised by Utaha's unexpected joining.
"Shall we go to my place next?" Homura asked everyone.
After some discussion, Utaha came forward as a representative to speak.
"Not today, Kohai-kun," she first declined Homura's invitation, and then added, "It's getting late today, and even if we went to your place, we wouldn't be able to stay long."
"We're all going to prepare the tools and equipment we need at home today, so we can start working tomorrow." Utaha then continued, "What's more, you should tell your sister first, won't there be a lot of people coming to your home?"
Eriri and Megumi both nodded in agreement.
After hearing Utaha's words, Homura could only say, "You're right! I didn't think it through!"
"Well then..." Homura looked around and said, "We will meet at the school gate after school tomorrow. That's all for today, everyone can go home!"
Listening to his words, Eriri felt a little emotional thinking about what happened after school today.
"See you tomorrow, Minamiya." After speaking, she said goodbye to Homura and then to Megumi, "See you tomorrow!"
""See you tomorrow!"" Homura and Megumi said in unison.
Finally, with an unpleasant tone, Eriri said to Utaha, "You too!"
"Ara, I really didn't expect that!" Utaha pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth. "See you tomorrow, Sawamura-san."
"Hmph!" With a tsundere tone, Eriri walked out of the audio-visual room with her things.
"I'm leaving too, Homura." Tomoya, who had recovered at some point, said goodbye to others, "See you, Senpai, and Ka...Kana!"
"It's Kato, huh! How many times do I have to say it!" Homura blurted out a retort.
Tomoya waved his hand and also left.
Megumi: "..."
Looking at Utaha, she saw Homura look over at her, and then she say goodbye to Megumi first.
"See you tomorrow, Kato-san."
Then she walked to the door and turned back to smile lightly at Homura.
"Looking forward to tomorrow, Kohai-kun..."
"Ah? Oh...Kasumigaoka-senpai, see you tomorrow!" Homura was stunned again.
She truly lived up to everyone's yearning for a black-bellied and sharp tongue Senpai, her words always so suggestive.
"...It's just the two of us left, Kato." Homura said, then asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Um...I still want to thank you again, Minamiya-kun." Kato Megumi said softly.
"Don't thank me, aren't we friends?" Homura smiled and asked back.
"Yes, then let's go, Minamiya-kun."
Homura nodded, and the two of them walked out of the school. At the school gate, Homura bid farewell, "I also need to go home and prepare dinner, then, see you tomorrow!"
"By the way, I have a suggestion." Homura suddenly turned around and said seriously. "Kato, do you...want to keep your hair long? I think it would make you even cuter."
After speaking, he chuckled lightly and didn't give her a chance to respond before slipping away.
Standing still for a long time, Megumi muttered to herself.
"Was I just being flirted with?"
Taking light and brisk steps, she revealed a charming smile and spoke in a voice that only she could hear.
"See you tomorrow... Homura-kun."

He bought some introductory books on programming and scripting, and then groceries. When he got home, Homura opened the door and shouted, "Sagiri! I'm back!"
Then he heard the sound of footsteps from upstairs, followed by the sound of the door opening, and then immediately saw Haru rushing down and pouncing towards him.
Dropping the things in his hand onto the ground, Homura, with a smile on his face, held the little one in his arms.
"Hehe, you adorable little cat!" The smile on his face became even brighter as Homura stroked the little one's soft fur.
Could Homura not be happy when he saw Haru sticking to him like this?
Remembering something, he asked the little one in his arms.
"Were you in Sagiri's room just now?"
Haru nodded and said.
"Yeah! I told you that I'd take care of her, that was my promise to you!"
Homura felt moved in his heart and lightly stroked the little one's head.
"What did you guys do today?" Homura continued to ask.
After thinking for a moment, Haru said, "I didn't do anything! Your sister has always been busy with something and I just slept next to her."
"Then we had a meal together." He said, and the little one's eyes lit up at the mention of food.
Homura feels a little heartache because Haru had been unable to eat enough due to her wandering lifestyle, which was why she had a special fondness for food.
He rubbed her head again, put her down, and said, "Alright, thank you, little one. I'll go cook now and treat you, we have fish!"
Watching Haru drooling, Homura shook his head with a smile, picked up the things on the ground, and headed straight to the kitchen.

After dinner, Homura used Clean, Caress, and Care for Haru until she was in perfect condition, and then his status became like this.
"I've leveled up...it's better than nothing, so I'll save my skill points for now! I'll use them when I need them." Homura wasn't very interested.
He thought for a moment, then went upstairs and knocked on Sagiri's door.
"Sagiri, open the door. I need to talk to you," Homura said, waiting outside the door.
After a moment, the door opened a crack about the same size as in the morning, and Sagiri's little head appeared in it.
In a soft voice almost too quiet to hear, Sagiri asked, "What's up, Nii-san?"
Homura organized his thoughts and said, "Today at school, I started my own club and we've already decided on the club's activities. We're going to start by making a game."
"After discussing the location of the club activities, we decided on our home, so I came to let you know that they'll be coming tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I won't let them into your room without your permission!"
Homura stared at Sagiri's reaction...
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, only silence, no negative reaction.
Sagiri was now thinking.
'Nii-san started a club? Is there any way I can help? What kind of people are the other members? I'm so curious!'
After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke up.
"Nii-san, I'll agree to one condition..."
