“How much is the quantity?”

“Junior.”

The manager puffed out his cheeks and sent a silent protest.

I smiled sheepishly.

“I’m just curious.”

Actually, I’m really thinking about doing it.

Senior Jooyong noticed us and spoke carefully.

“Keuhum. If you only think about what you will consume at the booth… . About 100 pieces as the initial quantity?”

“Hmm? Do you have anything else to write about?”

“That. A lot of people have been asking in the comments if I do mail order… What do you guys think?”

“Adventure. Jooyong. We’re not doing this to make money. It’s going to be hard for Lee Jin and Seol, so let’s not resort to mail order.”

In response to senior Jooyong’s words, the vice-president and senior Seongho crossed their arms and said.

‘If I have more work to do, I won’t have time to watch animation…’ ‘ I think I heard a small muttering sound.

“What is mail order?”

Yoo Seol tilted his head and asked.

“It’s like an internet shopping mall. In addition to selling at the booth, we also take orders and sell separately on the Internet.”

She opened her mouth as if she understood my answer.

“Ah~ But why do you say it so hard!”

“Haha… .”

While I was explaining mail order to Yoo Seol, the three seniors were bickering and clashing opinions about autographs and mail orders.

Caught between them, I opened my mouth.

“Even if you order by mail, don’t you have to rush it and just notify that you can get it delivered after the festival ends?”

Senior Seongho responded with a “mmmm” sound.

“After it’s over?”

“Yes. I think it would be good to do that so I can dispose of any inventory left over from sales at the booth.”

After hearing what I said, the manager gave up his stern expression and said,

“I hope my junior gets better.”

“Bill, yes. I will.”

Only then did the chilly air escape from the club room.

Breaking the momentarily silence of the club room, the secretary’s words echoed throughout the club room.

“… … excuse me. So, are we going to get 100 autographs for the booth this week?”

“Profit!”

ah.

* * *

… Despite the manager’s opposition, it was eventually concluded with signing.

It was the result of me and my story, and especially my opinions, being reflected within it.

I’m not some kind of celebrity, and I don’t really realize that there are that many people who want my autograph.

They say the fans want it, but it’s not that difficult… I thought this might be okay, so I said I would do it.

Personally, I have some interest.

And Yoo Seol was also excited about the opportunity to have a new experience and voted yes.

After hearing our opinion, the manager’s spirit also dropped.

After the commotion was over, the meeting resumed.

“Hmm. So, I’m thinking of selling it as a package like this.”

Senior Seongho showed us an order form that appears to have been sent to the company.

It was a picture filled with an acrylic stand, key ring, photo card, etc., contained in a small paper box.

“We ordered 100 packages consisting of this. We also ordered 100 posters to be sold separately.”

Although it is not the real thing, I can get a rough idea of what the result will be just by looking at the pictured order form.

“Your senior designed this box?”

Although the contents are important, boxes like this are just another gift for collectors.

There’s no way you can just prepare it with a plain box… .

I didn’t remember doing any work in particular, so I asked Yu Seol and she nodded and said yes.

“I will be so excited when I receive the finished product.”

When I was actually drawing the picture, I was vague about it, but the thought of receiving actual goods soon made my heart feel full.

I felt that way when I first saw the illustration I drew come to life as a game character with the help of many people.

“There are goods on the wall over there, right? Most of the things over there were manufactured by that company. This is a place you can trust for quality, so you can expect it.”

From what I heard, it seems like a company that has been working with subculture clubs for quite a long time.

After all the topics of the meeting were passed, everyone smiled joyfully and full of anticipation.

Now, if only I was okay, wouldn’t we be able to have a successful event?

* * *

I have an autograph.

When I started drawing for commercial purposes, I created it out of necessity.

… Well, the autograph isn’t anything grand. All I can do is just scribble “Seojin” on it.

Anyway, since the outcome of the meeting was decided by signing autographs, did they tell me to pull out the ox horn at once?

After club time was over, we headed towards the city.

There was an art tool shop that Yoo Seol, who was in the art department until recently, knew about, so we headed there.

“You can write it on this paper. Your autographs are also sold in a box.”

Senior Seongho said, pointing to a piece of paper that was slightly smaller than half the size of the box.

“Yes. Let’s buy this.”

“Ah. give it to me Pay with club activity fees.”

“Here.”

The bundle of paper passed from my hand to the vice president’s hand and ultimately landed in the secretary’s hand.

There was a manager watching the series of processes with a sullen expression.

“My junior, why do you have to increase your workload? You need to rest well… .”

“This is the amount that will be over soon. Fans want it too.”

While I was talking with the manager, the general manager and Jooyong senior, who had finished paying, came out and handed over a wad of paper to Yoo Seol.

“ character. Well then, please help me.”

After receiving the autograph, Yoo Seol opened her eyes and trembled.

“Me, what should I do!? There’s no autograph or anything… .”

You can just make “. It’s better to use your name or choose a nickname.“

“Nickname?”

“Hmm… . ah. For example, my nickname is Seojin.”

It is an insincere nickname made by adding the last letter of the first name and last name.

Although I may say it myself, I am a person who is not particularly creative.

“I have a two-letter name… .”

“… … .”

I’m not saying you have to combine them with names.

At that time, the manager lowered his sullen expression and joined the conversation.

“My name is Arara.”

I think the manager also knew that something had happened that couldn’t be undone now.

“Ugh… . What should I do?”

Yoo Seol wrapped his head and fell into trouble.

Well, think hard.

No one knows how long you will use that name, so I hope you think hard and find a nickname you like.

When I came to the art supply store, I tried to buy paper and then leave right away, but I spent some more time buying pencils and other miscellaneous items.

“… But is this okay to use the activity fee card?”

“Then then.”

Senior Juyong said it was okay and paid for all the things I had brought with me using a card that contained club activity fees.

You say you’re okay, but… .

Anyway, I’m also the club’s secretary.

“It’s okay. All you have to do is write a good report, right? Just say you used it to make goods.”

… is it?

“Yes, well… . I will write well.”

I received the tool recommended by Yoo Seol and paid for with a club card.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but since I got it for free, I decided to put it to good use.

* * *

“I’m sad to just break up, but let’s at least have dinner together.”

While contemplating the next plan in the city center, everyone agreed with Yu Seol’s words.

“Then. Even the cost of dinner can be used as club activity expenses.”

I scratched my head and asked what senior Jooyong said.

“… … Is that okay?”

Senior Jooyong raised his glasses and laughed.

“It’s the cost of a club dinner. What do you think?”

Faith is gradually disappearing.

I wonder if this person uses that card on a regular basis… .

It seems that the club’s secretary needs to be audited.

As for me, it’s free food, so it’s a good thing, but… .

Anyway, we decided to spend our activity fee once again and headed to a nearby unlimited refill meat restaurant.

I thought women would hate it when they come to places like this because the smell of meat would permeate their clothes, but the two actually took the lead and said they liked it.

“When I had a course-off meeting in the past, I experienced an unlimited refill shop. I really wanted to come back.”

Yoo Seol hesitated and spoke at the manager’s words.

“It’s my first time going.”

“Hehe. You’ll love it.”

One with anticipation, the other with curiosity.

We entered the store.

After being shown to our seats, the members were going back and forth to get basic vegetables, etc.

As the youngest, I brought the meat and held up the tongs.

The time has finally arrived to show off my skills of cooking meat alone… .

“I want to eat seasoned ribs.”

“… If I eat the seasoning first, I get bitten and can’t eat much.”

When Yoo Seol returned to her seat, she sang that she wanted to eat seasoned ribs, but I paid no attention and did my best to grill the raw pork belly.

“Oh. I will bake it.”

“Don’t worry. That meat cooks well.”

The manager tried to take the tongs from me, but I refused and grabbed the tongs.

Ego. Check out my baking skills honed on YouTube!

“Oh… .”

“Suddenly passionate.”

The deliciously cooked whole pork belly was distributed piece by piece to the waiting club members.

“For the first point, dip it in salt and eat it with a little wasabi.”

I added the next piece of meat and left the remaining meat to the edge.

Well, should I try it too… .

Put a little salt on the flesh and wasabi on the fat part and pop it in your mouth.

I could feel the unique bursting texture of whole pork belly, and at the same time, a decent amount of meat juice burst out.

Mmmmm. For an all-you-can-eat restaurant, the food was in good condition.

“Oh, oh oh oh.”

“Delicious!”

Everyone gave me a thumbs up, saying I did a good job.

It’s worth baking because people eat it deliciously.

So I stayed like that for an hour. We grilled different types of meat in the store.

Everyone said it was a lot bigger than expected.

My hands tingled.
