In the end, participation in the offline meeting was carried out according to the manager’s wishes.

I also agreed with the fact that it was necessary to have experience cosplaying in front of strangers, but the thought that I was doing it for no reason started to bloom in my mind when it was right in front of me.

Still, I couldn’t take back what I had said once.

That’s how our subculture club’s weekend meeting came to fruition.

At first, I thought the manager and I would go together, but since we had to move our costumes anyway, the manager said that we should all go together, so we all decided to participate.

After the meeting, Yoo Seol and I started working on the illustrations needed to produce goods.

“Senior, your drawing style is similar to mine?”

“That, that. I studied illustration using your pictures… .”

“… … Ah.”

As an aside. I found out that Yoo Seol has a drawing style so similar to mine that he could act in my place if he wanted to.

I feel something strange… . Should I say this is good or shameful?

Why not ask for help when you’re busy?

“First, draw for practice, and then use the computer to do the work correctly. Or, you can do the basic touches on paper, then scan it and draw on it… . Oh, do you have a tablet at home?”

“Yes. Of course!”

It was fortunate that Yooseol had a tablet.

It is more useful in many ways to create this type of work using computer graphics.

Anyway, back to the picture style.

I was fortunate to be able to give Yuseol the advice I was hoping for, thanks to her drawing style similar to mine.

Even though it was almost like a small talk because Yuseol’s skills were better than expected.

Although his illustration experience is limited, he has been involved in art longer than me, so I learned a lot from him.

Since I am a person who has been drawing pictures using wild materials, I am a person who fills in the composition and the human body with my experience and input.

Thanks to that, the theoretical explanations of Yoo Seol, who studied art formally, were very helpful.

The only thing that helped me out with Yoo Seol was that my drawing speed was much faster.

If Yoo Seol draws an elaborate and structured picture while preparing the land and inserting rebar to build a building.

I think it would be easier to explain if I said that I brought a temporary building from somewhere and assembled it.

I gave up saying that my method was impossible to follow.

On the contrary, I also found the way Yu Seol drew pictures difficult.

I guess each artist has their own style.

Before I knew it, it was almost time to go home.

Yoo Seol looked bored as he watched me draw four different draft illustrations in just over two hours.

“I will never be able to do that… .”

“Haha… .”

He let out a sheepish laugh.

No matter what I say, Yu Seol will only perceive it as deception.

“Seol and your junior. Thank you for your hard work.”

While we were working, the manager, who was quietly surfing the Internet on his laptop, approached us.

Yu Seol and I nodded and said hello, but the manager hesitated and looked at me.

“Junior. “I’ve been thinking about it.”

“Yes.“

What is that manager trying to say with his mouth open?

The manager quickly resolved my doubts.

“Your junior, you don’t usually wear makeup, right?”

“… Yeah, whatever. Yes? I only apply cream to lotion.”

Suddenly a feeling of anxiety creeps in.

This feeling was similar to the old time when the manager was begging me to cosplay.

“There is. When doing this cosplay, I recommend putting on some makeup… … .”

“No.”

“Ugh.“

The manager was dumbfounded by my firm refusal.

No, what kind of makeup is this… .

In two lives, over 40 years of living, I have never experienced powdering my face.

“But these days, many men also wear makeup, and if they want to appear in front of others, they try to put on a little bit of makeup… .”

“I don’t like it.”

“Profit.”

Yuseol giggled at our non-comic joke.

“Don’t hate it so much. Of course, I’m not saying that I should apply a lot of makeup on my face, but I’m just saying that I should only wear basic makeup.”

“… I don’t like it because it’s frustrating.”

“Ugh. I’m your junior!”

ah.

Is this starting again… .

“Wow~ Just once. Only on the day of the competition~”

In the end, the manager again went into infantile regression mode and started acting like a herd.

I held my sore head.

… … Someone please save me.

* * *

The next day from that.

As always, we were sitting around having lunch and chatting.

No, actually, there was something different from usual.

I don’t know if it’s because the distance between Yoon Ji-woo, Lee Se-ah, and Hong Yeon-seo has grown, but Yoon Ji-woo spends less time with us.

As a result, he naturally left the table during lunch time, saying he decided to eat lunch with other children.

In response, Lee So-yoon and Seong Yu-rin had an attitude as if something had come.

I was a little bitter too.

As a bonus, the fact that the friends who did that and ate together were the ones who had the impression of being a bit of a delinquent in the class made me even more uncomfortable.

Why, these were the guys I mentioned at least once before.

I hope Jiwoo Yoon doesn’t have any major accidents.

I wanted to overcome the pain of heartbreak as well as possible.

It was a little odd for me to say this, so I didn’t say anything else.

Even though only I know this, in a way, it’s like stealing Yoon Ji-woo’s love.

Of course, in this world, it was a relationship that didn’t even begin because of my existence, but that was how I felt.

Even though the other children never liked Yoon Ji-woo, it must have felt like the person she liked was taken away from her.

Isn’t that what unrequited love is all about?

However, if the person who stole your unrequited love preaches to you there, even if you are like me, you will have a hard time holding on without your fists going out.

“So, Jin-i won’t participate in individual events?”

During the meal, it was Isea’s question that woke me up from my thoughts.

As I have often mentioned, since the sports day is just around the corner, each class is receiving support for people to participate in individual sports.

Because Dawn High School is a very large school, the sports day is held over two days and consists of many sports.

“I don’t think much about it except for team sports… .”

“A. It’s a waste of motor nerves.”

Hong Yeon-seo scolded him playfully.

Even such a clumsy provocation is useless.

“There are more than five team events alone, so it would be difficult to do more.”

Moreover, even if I competed in an individual event, there is no way I could beat the monsters who specialize in that event.

Dawn High’s sports team is not an easy one.

Although there were few that were outside the standard like Hong Yeonseo, the level overall was on the high side.

It’s not for nothing that Dawn High School always ranks top at places like the National Sports Festival.

Because it is a place where talented people from all over the country gather.

“So what about you? When it comes to motor skills, you have greater athletic ability.“

“Hmm~ Then, do you want to go play table tennis doubles with me?”

“Do you want to do it?”

By the way, is there table tennis at the sports day?

There really is everything.

It was Lee Se-ah and Lee So-yoon who looked at the conversation between me and Hong Yeon-seo with envy.

They both have poor motor skills. Even in group practice, it seemed like he was struggling.

Lee Se-ah, Lee So-yoon, Hong Yeon-seo… … .

Now that I think about it, Seong Yu-rin is also quite flexible and has good physical strength.

“What about you?”

“… I need more time to study, so I’m not particularly interested.”

indeed.

Physical education is just a means to improve health.

“What is it? It’s not fun.”

Hong Yeon-seo puffed out her cheeks as if she was pouting.

I can’t help it, because except for her, all four of us like indoor activities.

You wouldn’t have known it if Yoon Ji-woo had been there, but after their relationship subtly deteriorated, it became an impossible union.

With that, the sports day story came to an end, we finished eating and returned to class.

I was spending my lunch break leisurely, brushing my teeth and half-lying in my seat.

“Oh, by the way. Seo Yi-jin! Do you remember what you promised last time?”

Hong Yeon-seo, who was sitting in her seat, came up to me and spoke to me.

“… … Promise?”

I listened to Hong Yeon-seo and thought about it, but I couldn’t remember anything.

… Didn’t the last plan to go out end on Saturday?

“Woo. You went home too early on Saturday and decided to come back later.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Come to think of it, something like that happened.

I guess I was a little embarrassed at the time… . Even now, when I think about that time, my face feels a little hot.

Although we didn’t say much for a few days, I feel like I need to quickly sort out my relationship with the kids.

Continuing to do this isn’t like they’re making a fuss about men.

Even if this is a world where polygamy is allowed.

“Well, I’m a little busy this weekend.”

However, it was not possible to honor Hong Yeon-seo’s promise right away.

Because there was a club commitment this week.

… … Even though it’s an appointment I don’t really want to go to.

“Hmph. Staying at home every day.”

“… It’s usually like that, but I really have a prior commitment this weekend.”

When I said that, Hong Yeon-seo also seemed to have realized that my prior promise was true, and her sullen expression relaxed.

Then he looked curious.

“What’s going on? Are they other kids?”

Hong Yeon-seo spoke while being conscious of the positions of other children who were not present.

The other three were absent, saying they were going to the snack bar.

“No. Club.”

“Club? Jin you… . Did you say it was a subculture club?”

But what is a subculture?

It was Hong Yeonseo who tilted her head.

It’s not that it’s not honorable, but… … .

… … It’s a bit difficult to actually explain it with my own words.

Isn’t that honorable?
