Let’s Go to Summer Comiket (1)

It was the day after my father and Shirase-san got drunk and passed out.

Shirase-san stayed the night and went to work.

And today, I heard that there was a person who wanted to meet me and Rio at the office.

I was meeting Rio at Shibuya at 17:00.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

I met Rio in front of Hachiko and headed to the office.

“I was sorry about yesterday. I’m sorry my father turned out like that.”

“No, it’s okay. I had fun too.”

“I see. I’m glad to hear that.”

As soon as I entered the building where the office was located, Shirase-san approached me.

“I’m really sorry about yesterday!　I’m a bit of a wreck when it comes to drinking.”

Saying so, she bowed her head vigorously.

“No, no, I don’t mind. Besides, it was a perk.”

“A perk?”

Shirase-san had a strange expression on his face.

“I feel Rio’s eyes glaring on my side.”

“No, I’m talking about this side.”

“The customer is already here.”

We were taken to a conference room in the office.

There was a familiar woman sitting there.

“Hello, it hasn’t been long, has it?”

“Hi, Hiyama-san.”

It was Aya Hiyama, the announcer.

“Congratulations to both of you for winning!　Well, that was a great match!”

Hiyama-san was doing the commentary for the Japan tournament.

Naturally, she must have been watching us play.

“Thank you very much.”

“I’m here today to ask a favor of you.”

We sat down in the chairs opposite Hiyama-san.

“A favor?”

“Yeah, I know what Summer Comic Con is.”

Yes, I do.”

Comic Market is one of Japan’s largest coterie trade shows.

It is held twice a year, and the one held in the summer is called Summer Comic Market.

The one held in winter is called Winter Comic Market.

“I’ve been asked to be a vendor there, and I was wondering if you would like to join me.”

Hiyama-san is also a cosplayer.

She sometimes posts her photos on social media, and they spread quickly.　

”Is it okay if we participate in the company booth?”

“That’s totally fine. President Otani said it would be good publicity for you guys to be there.”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

The president had already given his permission.

“I’m going to cosplay this character, and you’re going to cosplay this one”

She displayed the image on her phone.

It was a character from an RPG game that Lugh is putting the most effort into.

The other day, Rio and I appeared in an event to celebrate the release of the game.

As I recall, the girl’s character was talked about as cute and quickly became popular.

“I’m going to wear this?”

“Yes. You said you were going to try cosplaying the other day, right?”

Hiyama-san leaned forward and pressed Rio.

“Of course, I’ll have Ryo-kun do it too. This is Ryo-kun.”

There he was, a male character from the same game.

“I’m going to do it too?”

“Rio’s partner character is only Ryo-kun!　I’ll do the makeup for you.”

Hiyama-san is the type of person who gets carried away with what she likes to do.

She is a strong willed otaku.

“If Ryo is with me, I’ll do it. I’ll do it even though it’s a little too skin showing”.

“If Rio says so.”

“Okay, then, it’s decided!　We’ll get the costumes for you!”

Hiyama-san looked happy.

“The cosplay of the two of you looks like it’s going to become a hot topic again.”

We’ve been making a lot of noise on SNS and in the media lately, so we’ve been getting a lot of attention even for free.

I have a feeling that if I post a cosplay photo with Rio at this time, it will cause even more trouble.

“Well, I’ll look forward to seeing you on that day. Here is my contact information.”

Saying that, Hiyama-san left her business card.

I’m sure this is what all the geeks in this world are dying to get their hands on this card.

“She’s kind of like a storm.”

“Yes, she is.”

“Shirase-san, is this good for the company?”

I asked Shirase-san, who was standing next to me.

She didn’t say anything about it.

“The director said I could do anything that would promote the company, so it’s fine.”

Apparently, this time it was in the company’s interest as well.

“I was going to tell you today, Rio-san. Rio-san, you are going to be transferred to our office.”

I think Shirase-san said something very important without much ado.

“Oh, you pulled her out?”

“No way, it is Rio-san’s will. I will support both of you from now on.”

Recently, the two of us have been working together more and more as a set.

It is a great advantage to be in the same office together.

“I see. Rio, I am pleased to work together again.”

“Yes, it’s the same for me.”

Thus, the story of Rio’s cosplay and transfer to the office was decided.
