Kawamura, Okuda and Hamaoka applied for a booth at a doujin event in the city, and invited Nakamura to tag along with them.
The morning of the event was hectic. When they met up, Hamaoka and Kawamura showed up in full cosplay as Makunouchi and Taku (they tried to rope Nakamura into cosplaying Makunouchi, since he had the height to pull it off, but Nakamura ultimately declined). Then the four had to move several boxes of freshly printed doujins, stickers and acrylic charms all the way from Kawamura's home to the venue, and set up their booth as quickly as possible.
They managed to finish their preparations before the event opening, and the four let out a collective sigh of relief. Hamaoka and Kawamura took a break to the restroom to fix up their cosplay, which left Okuda and Nakamura looking after the booth together.
“So,” Okuda started once the other two disappeared into the crowd, “you and Hirose. Since when?”
Nakamura spat out the water he was drinking. Thankfully he turned his head fast enough as to not ruin the products on display.
Takeuchi wanted to get to know Yuuka better, and getting to know Yuuka better entailed reading Love Bento and going to doujin events. When he saw the advert for the convention, he immediately bought two tickets, and texted Yuuka asking if they could go together. Unfortunately (and predictably) she turned him down, saying that she’s going to be busy boothing with Kawamura and Okuda.
This left him with two tickets. He still wanted to check out the event (and perhaps surprise Yuuka by paying their booth a visit), and against his better judgement, he asked Hirose to join him. Hirose agreed immediately.
The two now found themselves lost in the maze of booths, surrounded by extremely stimulating imagery. One booth had flags of well-endowed topless dudes getting touchy with each other, and another had a large banner featuring bosomy women in swimsuits. They looked left and right, and couldn’t find Hamaoka anywhere, but hold on — is that Nakamura?! And he’s in a booth with… Taku and Makunouchi? What??
