[Ririka Pov]

It was the weekend, and we decided to take a break from our project since the manga convention is today and Ao-kun is very busy.

"Uhhh, do I have to come out?" Kanade asks

"Yes! I sewed this outfit for so long; if you don't wear it, I'll be a little upset." Hajime claims

"I... Fine, I'll come out!" Kanade says

I pulled her out of the shadows, revealing her cosplay. "Who even is this!?" Kanade asks.

"Wada Yoko!" I sang

*Hajime and Kanade tilt their heads*

"Who is that, Shachou?" Kanade questions

"Just walk with me!"

We all began to walk, and Hajime got beside me and asked, "What is this?" She asked, pointing to the booth that was in front of us. I smiled at her.

"We will get Ao-kun on the map!" I say

"And that is why we have these!" Raden revealed a banner with the sketches of Wado that Ao-kun had drawn. It is kind of rough, but if we can market these and get this character well known, then we can get her a serialized manga or the start of it."

"Fat chance..." Gamma-senpai said

Hitomi walked behind him and placed a prop kunai around his neck. She glared right through the back of his head. Sweat dripped down his face due to him thinking it was real.

"You will promote her work." I scoff

"I'll do no such thing! Why the hell would I promote the manga of a woman!? They can't even make manga!"

"Sexism aside, if an idiot like you promoted Ao-kun's work, then she would make it big; if not, I could always release the video of you being a sexist jerk to her." I say

"Also, you aren't in the best position." Kanade points out

"Ugh... Erk... Ahh..." He was trying to speak but couldn't come up with the right words to say, "I refuse!" He shouts

"Let me handle this," Hajime said.

She grabbed him by the face and began to drag him away.

"Fu... Gah... Augh... Grr... Blegh..."

Hajime came back without him twirling keys around. "This is to his booth." She told me while tossing the keys. With this, we can alter it however we see fit.

"Ririka!" Zeta called out

*I look over*

"Uhhh... who are you supposed to be?" I ask

She had a long brown hair wig and some familiar-looking clothing with a cloak. She also had a prop dagger and lantern.

"I'm Mumei-senpai; she's my oshi after all!" She replies

"You know this is a manga convention, right?" I ask

"Yeah! However, I want to support Mumei-senpai however I can since I love her!"

"That's... Dedication!" Banchou said

"Yeah, do you need help?" Zeta asks

"We do! Can you do us a favor and tear down all of Gamma-senpai's banners and stuff and replace them with Ao-kun's?" I ask

"Isn't that illegal?" Zeta asks

"Maybe, but I'll beat the case, and besides, we need to get Ao-kun started somehow."
