“Ah. Yeah, that’s right. I have to take a picture!”

Lee Se-ah, who had been struggling, suddenly came to her senses and took out her cell phone.

“Hehe. Junior! Shall we try the pose we practiced?”

At the manager’s words, I turned my eyes and looked at the manager.

I met the eyes of the manager who was slowly approaching me, and I read the meaning in his gaze.

good.

The first pose for the stage, the pose of a guardian knight!

“Now, wait a minute. Two, two, aren’t they too close together!?”

At the pose we took, Se-ah Lee, who was absorbed in taking pictures, jumped up from her seat and shouted.

Crowd surrounds Irina with his shield hand, and guards the surroundings with his sword in his other hand.

This is the first pose that I practiced hard at the off-campus meeting.

In fact, it was a pose of hugging the manager.

It’s not for no reason that I was embarrassed when I first practiced.

of course. Now, as the crowd itself, I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of… !

Along with Lee Se-ah, who jumped up and shouted, Seong Yu-rin and Lee So-yoon also nodded furiously behind them, expressing their agreement with the opinion.

But the manager waved his cane and spoke.

“Oh my. Junior Se-ah, this character we cosplayed is a couple? Even before going on stage, you need to warm up in advance to get immersed. Huhuhuhu.”

“Lover… .”

“Ugh… !”

Seong Yu-rin and Lee So-yoon groaned and lost their momentum.

“Yeah, but.”

“Hehe. We are just doing our best as ‘professional cosplayers’!”

“Ugh.”

In the end, it was Se-Ah who sank at the words of the manager.

Then he looks at me with resentful eyes… sorry. There is nothing I can say now!

Because I am not Seo Yi-jin now, but Blue Knight Crowe.

So we showed off the poses we practiced in front of the three of us one after another.

Crowd sits in front of Irina while she is chanting magic and watches over her.

Crowd and Irina stand with each other’s backs, burning their fighting spirit towards both sides.

etc.

It was a final check of what I had often practiced whenever I had time, which I would perform on the stage in the upcoming evening.

I thought I might have rusted during the sports day, but I was fortunate that my body responded better than I expected.

The three people who were excited at first also admired the cool poses that followed and praised them.

“I don’t know much about cosplay, but… I think I’m really good at this. Even as a beginner, I felt immersed.”

Praise poured out of Sung Yu-rin’s mouth, with her arms crossed, as if she were about to give a harsh evaluation.

Lee So-yoon also said with joy at Seong Yu-rin’s words.

“Yes! He was like a real knight!”

Lee So-yoon was unusually excited.

This may be especially true since he is a guy who likes stories that deviate from everyday life.

Lee So-yoon’s love of fantasy novels also influenced her career path, and she even joined a creative writing club. Everything has been said.

“Ugh… . Well, that’s cool.”

Even Lee Se-ah, who had been waiting for a while, finally gave us a thumbs up in approval.

“Phew… .”

After a performance for three audiences at once.

I relaxed and returned to my usual self.

Even though it was just practice, my method was an acting method that was bound to get exhausting.

The manager, who knew that, took my hand and led me to the chair after the performance was over.

“Sit down and take a break. ruler. Drink cool water too.”

I leaned the equipment on the table and gulped down the water the manager gave me.

“It was okay, right? Did you take a lot of pictures?”

“Yes! I’ll take pictures of the stage later and post them in the chat room.”

Lee So-yoon smiled and flipped through the photo album.

The manager carefully questioned Lee So-yoon’s words.

“Oh my. Well, if you don’t mind, could you send it to me too?”

“Yes? Ah yes. Sure.”

Who could refuse a request from a manager who speaks with a bright smile like that?

That’s not such a difficult request either.

While speaking, the four people exchanged phone numbers.

There wasn’t a good chance since we met, so it was a good thing if we could become friends now.

So we took a short break in the waiting room.

* * *

“What did he hear that made him suddenly so energetic? .”

“So… .”

Two seniors.

Lim Seong-ho and Kim Joo-yong looked at the back of Yoo Seol, who was striding in front of them, and whispered softly.

It was amazing to see her become so lively, as if a full-time priest had given all the buffs to a newbie.

He definitely seemed a little nervous before leaving the waiting room, but while the two of them were talking for a while, the rumors that came from his conversation with Seo Yi-jin in the waiting room gained momentum.

“What… It’s a good thing for us.”

“Hmm. After all, at an event like this, it is better to have a girl as pretty as a rumor greet customers with energy rather than a dull man to increase sales.”

Anyway, the two laughed happily, thinking that things had worked out well.

Meanwhile. Yu Seol didn’t care at all whether the two people behind him laughed or not.

This was because Lee Jin’s encouragement, which may not have been a big deal, really resonated with her.

To that extent, he was proud of the fact that he had achieved something with his own strength for the first time in his life.

And I was so grateful that there was someone who acknowledged that fact.

So, Yu Seol decided to do his best to fully live up to those expectations.

She left the hallway and headed to the booth with a confident smile on her face.

* * *

“The event must have already started outside.”

“Sure… . Are you doing well?”

I remembered the three people heading to the booth.

You may be achieving unexpected success, or on the other hand, you may be depressed due to lack of customers.

“Shall we go sometime?”

The manager decided that I had had enough rest and spoke to me.

“Yes. Then I’ll change and come out.”

I decided to change my clothes to go out, and the manager blocked me as I stood up and went to the locker room.

“No! Why not just keep going!“

“Yes?”

While I was dumbfounded, the manager picked up the equipment leaning on the table and handed it to me.

“Hehe. What do you think? There must be a lot of people out there wearing cosplay, right?“

Lee So-yoon agreed with the manager’s words.

“That’s right! You came here a lot earlier, right?”

I answered while thinking of the scenery outside.

As it was a cosplay festival, even the general audience was in a cosplay craze on the way there.

“… That’s right.”

“Because it suits you very well. … It’s okay.”

“Okay. You think you’ll get used to it.”

When everyone told me it was okay, I suddenly felt confident and decided to go out.

okay. Whatever. I have to go on stage in a few hours anyway, so this is about it.

I made my decision without much hesitation.

I wear cosplay at cosplay festivals, so it’s not strange.

After checking to make sure our attire was not disorganized one last time, we left the waiting room.

“Your impression is completely different from usual. Is it because of the hair?”

Isea said, sticking her head to the side.

“That’s right. If you wear this wig right now, won’t you look completely different?”

I picked up my phone and looked at myself.

hmm… … .

I don’t know what other kids might think, but in my eyes, he’s an absolute brat.

After chomping down on my appetite, I walked forward again.

When I opened the door connected to the exhibition hall, I saw a hall filled with loud noise.

If this is a small-scale event, how famous are the places?

I was completely amazed by the crowd of people in front of me.

And, to put it another way, it looked like he was tired from passing that much.

It wasn’t crowded, but it wasn’t at a level where people could move around comfortably.

Moreover, the G4 booth we were assigned to was located in the center of the venue.

“Everyone, stay close behind and follow me.”

Everyone was warned that they might get lost and that something bad could happen if they got lost alone.

“Then let’s stand like this.”

The manager came and stood next to me.

The manager and three people followed behind me and cleared the way.

As we blended into the crowd, we could hear the exclamations of people around us.

“Wow.”

“Are they participating in the competition? The quality is amazing.”

“I think the people behind me… .”

Somehow, we were a group that couldn’t help but attract attention.

This wasn’t the time for me to worry about cosplay in the first place… .

The good news is that since it was in the middle of a street where people came and went, no one asked if they could take pictures.

This is because the rules state that you should not request to be photographed unless you are a cosplay fish standing in a photo zone set up at regular intervals at the edge of the exhibition hall.

That’s how we were able to get through the crowds and get to the place where we could see the G4 booth.

“Ugh… ?”

Seong Yu-rin, who was the first to notice the abnormality, let out a voice mixed with confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wasn’t that the G4 booth earlier? There’s something noisy nearby.”

I looked at the place that Seong Yu-rin pointed to, and just as she said, people had gathered at our booth and there was a lot of commotion.

“Let’s go first.”

Thinking that something had happened, I opened the road more actively.

“Now, wait a minute!”

And then, the voice of Yoo Seol pierced my ears.
