Having obtained a 1:1 size sword that is more attractive the more I look at it, I headed towards the cosplay square with the two of them.
And my first impression of seeing this place is-
“It’s smaller than I thought.”
“Why? Did you think the square would be bigger?”
“yes.”
“Whoa, to be honest. And actually, there is one more place where cosplay is possible. This is the 1st venue, and the 2nd venue is right in front of the corporate booth over there.”
I followed Lisa’s fingertips and looked away.
Clearly, in the distance, I could see people who were cosplaying and people holding cameras to take pictures of them.
“What’s the difference between the 1st and 2nd presidents?”
“There are hardly any. At least there are worms?”
If you sit on the grass just to pose here, you can see a lot of mantis and grasshoppers.
“Ugh.”
While listening to the story next to him, Rika frowned as if it was terrible just thinking about it.
Lisa, on the other hand, looked casual.
Is this your age… .
“Aren’t you thinking something strange?”
“I never did.”
I turned my head away, pretending not to know.
As we chatted, we arrived at the cosplay square.
As soon as we appeared, people’s eyes immediately gathered.
“Wow, is that bayonet made of aluminum? It looks so real.”
“Isn’t the cosplay perfection better than that? Whoever sees it, the King himself has come.”
“He’s the one I saw in the locker room earlier!”
Among them, the evaluations pouring toward me in particular.

Most of them were compliments, but to be honest, I was a little embarrassed because I was only putting a spoon on the finished table.
I just came with my body, and everything was ready.
“Isn’t the Sofia cosplay next to LISA-sama the team course from Last Fantasy 7?”
“Because he’s a professional, the quality of his teammates is exceptional.”
“How can you be forty this year with that face?”
At that moment, Lisa’s poker face cracked.
“Fufu, it’s okay to talk freely.”
Oh, you were mad.
Anyway, when we showed up at the cosplay park, people who were filming other cosplayers around came rushing in.

Most of the objects they carry are lens cameras.
I don’t know if there is a demand for such a camera even in this day and age, but it certainly looked better than a smartphone camera.
“Come on, stand in line. Line.”
And naturally, a person who started to organize traffic appeared.
I asked implicitly.
“Who is that person?”
“Oh, I’m a volunteer. Usually, if there are too many people for one course, they take care of it. If there are too many people, it’s a trouble for passers-by.”
“iced coffee.”
While they were having a conversation like that, otakus with cameras lined up.
Unlike when there was something in the venue, it seemed that the proportion of men was rather higher now.

Maybe it’s because of Maria- no, Lisa-san, wearing a very revealing outfit.
“Okay then, let’s start slowly.”
Perhaps it was because she was a professor, Lisa, who drew the attention of those around her at once with her clean vocals, posed naturally.
That was the pose the character took when using magic in the game.
click! click! click! click!
At the same time, flashes from all directions.
It’s almost like a press conference, and everyone I see is crazy.
“Lisa-san! Please do some s*xy poses!”
“yes~”
While taking a group photo, when someone asked for it, Lisa willingly took a different pose.
It is a pose that emphasizes the chest by bringing the arms forward.
The voluptuous motherhood, showing the superior genes of Westerners, showed her presence to the cameramen around her.
… No, wait a minute, isn’t the low angle crossing the line?
I glanced at the one who behaves unmannerly, and the person whose eyes met through the lens is Heik! He ran away with a sound.
Perhaps he realized it too late, Lisa-san spoke so softly that only me could hear it while smiling.
“Thanks for your concern. But it’s okay because I’m wearing the right underpants.”
“Ah yes.”
It seems that he had his own way of coping with Panchira’s photos due to his long experience of activities.
I think it was just meddling, but since I set an example, it is clear that other people will not try low angles.
As Lisa-san’s solo performance continued like that, I also received countless requests for handshakes.
“Please take a brave pose!”
“Uh, can I do this?”
When I raised my sword in both hands to chest height with my legs spread moderately, the people around me cheered.
It seems like something is being protected by copyright.
Even though it was obviously just a normal sword.
click! click! click! click!
Like Lisa-san, the countless shutter sounds pouring towards me.
At this point, people gathered around us, and dozens of people began to encircle us.
‘That’s why volunteers lined up early.’
The photo time in row 1 ends, and the photo time in row 2 starts immediately.
People who wanted to take pictures of us had to wait in a long line.
Because there are not many people with high-quality clothes, it is really popular.
“The King, please look at this!”
When I heard that, I looked away.
There were several female otakus holding cameras and croaking and taking pictures of me.
“Hey! Baou-sama looked after me!”
“Idiot! I saw the tree next to you, not you!”
“I’m talking about the word, but is Baou a ball or a number?”
“That is, of course, a beast ball.”
“No, maybe it’s because of his gentle personality.
… I can hear everything I don’t want to know because my ears are so good.
I worked hard to manage my facial expressions, and took the poses requested by others.
So, while me and Lisa were getting baptized for the camera, Rika who was cosplaying a character called Samael was also receiving quite a lot of requests for photos, although not as much as us.
Unlike us, where the ratio of men and women was evenly mixed, Rika’s side was mostly men.
“Samael’s signboard pose and lines, please!”
“Wow, take a look! The advent of I, the fallen angel Samael!”
Originally, I knew that Rika was pretty, but seeing her in a dress with a lot of frills like a goth loli, she looks like a bisque doll, a Western doll.
In the midst of such a frantic passing of time, a volunteer who was arranging the traffic shouted, thinking that it could not be done any more.
“Disband! Please disband this team one last time!”
eh~
The people waiting for their turn voiced regretful voices, but even the seeds did not work with that level of protest.
Fortunately, it seems that there is no problem with filming again as long as the position of the cosor is changed.
As people dispersed, we naturally had time to rest, so we decided to take a break at a convenience store outside the building for a while.
“Wow, there are so many people everywhere.”
“At least this is a yangban. Would you have been fattening to death if you were in there on a hot day like today?”
Lisa, who was sitting on the terrace, fanned her hands and drank the cool Coke I had just bought at the convenience store.
“It’s hot-“
And in the case of Rika, perhaps because she was wearing black clothes that absorb sunlight well, her stamina was discharged and she was droopy.
“But how do we have lunch here?”
“Usually, I tend to fill it with something like a lunch box or a calorie mate. Some people are starving at all. You can’t go to a nearby restaurant wearing clothes like this, right?”
“That’s right.”
win!
In Japan, he is a gent, but if that happened in Korea, it would have been a huge topic of discussion on the Internet.
After drinking the freshly picked cider with Lisa-san, Rika raised her head belatedly said.
“I’m also Sai.”
“Oh, would you like some cider too? Wait a minute. I’ll bring it to you soon.”
“No, just one sip.”
Saying that, Rika looked at my cider with a desperate expression.
Ugh, I can’t help it.
As I held out the half-drinking can of cider, Rika drank it casually.
Lisa-san, who was right next to me, said while I was feeling a little weird because I was wondering if I was the only one who was conscious of it.
“Isn’t that an indirect kiss?”
“Put!”
Rika spewed cider from her mouth at the sudden stone throw.
“mama!”
“Oh, why are you so upset? I was just stating the truth.”
It was obviously done on purpose, but Lisa-san received Rika’s anger with a naive look on her face.
While we were cuddling on the terrace for a while, the number of customers at the convenience store increased significantly, so we decided to move on to the next place because we had a moderate rest.
“Then let’s go to the second venue this time.”
“In front of the corporate booth I mentioned earlier?”
“That’s right. In a way, that’s the real battleground for the pros.”
Whoops, what kind of strong people are you looking forward to this year?

Ms. LISA muttered like that and moved to the 2nd venue in front of the corporate booth with majestic steps.
***
corporate booth.
Literally, it is a place where booths from all kinds of companies are gathered.
From large corporations that only know their names to small and medium-sized enterprises with long-standing knowledge, the only ones that participated in the festival of otakus were the ‘real ones’ that were picked and selected.
The ‘professional cosplayer’ hired by the company played a major role in extorting otaku’s money as a representative of each company.
The 2nd venue where such people met in one place was truly a battlefield for professionals.
And an independent man set foot in this place.
His name was Kim Yoo-seong, a man who would later be called the king of Comiket—
