Chapter 1867 - Summer Comiket 3

Ten minutes before the start of the Summer Comiket, the ten people, Haru and all the members of Muse, finally arrived at the ticket gate for the special admission.

Behind the group of otaku who had been waiting overnight and stayed inside their tent came out, and those who were sitting on the ground stood up. Their faces were filled with determination, like soldiers that were about to go on the battlefield, but Haru ignored all of them, showing the difference between the two.

But looking at those people, Haru remembered that an hour ago, these people were sitting on the ground playing games and board games, but just now, their illustration changed as if they had taken a drug, which made him speechless.

The girls were nervous, and they moved closer to Haru since the gaze of those people was too intense for them. Luckily, they wore masks, so their faces weren't known.

In such a tense atmosphere, the ticket inspector finally completed the ticket check.

Haru and the girls walked into the venue and came to the standing pitch-black sign, which marked the east and west venue. The east venue was for the fan zone (Doujin), and the west venue was for the corporate zone.

While Haru and the girls were still discussing where to go first, they heard a voice from the broadcast that resounded throughout the venue: "The first day of the Summer Comiket, start!"

In an instant, everyone felt that the atmosphere suddenly changed. Even at the distance of more than a kilometer from the entrance, they could hear the roar and the rumbling footsteps coming from their position!

Haru was calm as ever, looking at the crowd, but he still had to admit that this scene was amazing since he saw it in the modern world. Then when the crowd approached, with his sharp eyes, he noticed a familiar figure in the front area of the crowd, and that was Tomoya Aki.

Haru knew that this guy was Eriri's childhood friend, and she had fallen in love with him. He could see that Tomoya Aki had this standard harem protagonist's getup, but he didn't overthink it. He could see Tomoya was charging with everyone with a fanatical expression on his face. The pupils under that black-framed glasses had a scarlet color. While roaring and running forward, Tomoya blocked the people around him with his hands and feet.

"...."

Haru was wondering whether they were all a group of fanatical cults.

"Run! We're going to be crushed!"

With a cry from Rin, Haru quickly helped everyone to move forward so they wouldn't be caught by the crowd and separated or trapped. After all, we also wouldn't bear to see a group of beautiful girls being surrounded by a group of sweaty men.

After they officially entered the venue, the flow of people finally began to disperse, and Haru and the girls were finally able to take a break, leaving on their knees and starting to take their breath. Only then did they realize that they had entered the fan zone in the east venue.

"Haru? Muse?"

A slightly suspicious voice sounded nearby, and when Haru and the girls turned their heads to follow the voice, the voice became pleasantly surprised. "It's really you guys!"

"A-Rise!!!"

The petite body was dressed in a purple and black navy style. White petals and red ribbons decorated on the short skirt give an image of girlish innocence and cuteness. That cute face and those emerald green eyes, if this person wasn't the captain of the A-Rise, then who would this be?

When they saw the owner of the voice clearly, Honoka and everyone also showed a surprised expression since they didn't expect to meet A-Rise in this place.

"It's fate! I didn't expect to meet you here! here, I will give you a limited edition DVD!"

Saying such words, Tsubasa, without hesitation, took the DVD set and sent it over. Hanayo went to pick up with the stars and excitement, but before Tsubasa's hands were about to reach halfway, it was stopped by her companion.

"Tsubasa, the company, told us to sell the merchandise. We can't give them for free secretly."

There was a mole under the corner of her eyes, said a young girl named Erena Todo.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot!" Tsubasa stuck out her tongue and retracted her half-stretched hand.

Hanayo was petrified immediately. Rin gently caught her before Hanayo fell to the ground.

"Not good, nyaa! Kayo-chin has fainted, nyaa!"

"What a fuss, can't you just buy a copy with money?"

Nico rolled her eyes and calmly took out the money and bought a copy. However, after she got the DVD, her calm expression no longer existed. She held the DVD in her hands and placed it on her chest, with an intoxicating voice of "hahaha" from her mouth.

In that next second, Hanayo also quickly resurrected and jumped, grabbed the DVD from Nico, and suddenly the two of them were caught in a fight.

Haru sighed then took out his money, giving it to Tsubasa. "Give me one too."

"Thank you very much!" Tsubasa gave a sweet smile to Haru and gave him the copy.

Haru then stopped both Nico and Hanayo by giving one of them the DVD that he had bought.

"Yay!" Hanayo held the DVD with excitement, holding it high.

Umi looked at their reaction and sighed before she glanced around and asked the A-Rise strangely, "Kisa-san, is it alright for you to set up a booth here?"

"I have also heard you talk about the company before..." Eli looked at the three of them curiously and asked, "Could it be that you have joined an entertainment company?"

"We haven't joined, but we have an intention to join one." Tsubasa looked at them and explained. "The three of us are in our third year of high school, and we're about to graduate in two semesters. After we discussed with each other, we finally decided not to join a university and continue to work on idol career, so during the summer vacation, we worked as an intern in a company, and the task that I received today was to sell these idols goods."

In Japan, it was quite normal to go work directly after high school, not to mention that A-Rise was in a special situation, so Eli and everyone weren't that surprised.

"What guts..."

Nozomi sighed and had to admit their determination to continue to work as a professional idol. If she didn't date Haru, then she might not have a plan for her future, but now since they were dating, she had decided to get her theology degree and become a priestess for his shrine.

As for everyone, they also thought about their future, but they had never thought to continue to become an idol together.

After all, Honoka, Umi, and Kotori were in the second year of high school. Even Maki, Hanayo, and Rin were in their first year of high school.

Their graduation time was different, and even if they could join Haru's company together, they had never thought to continue their idol career.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward because of Tsubasa's words, but soon, Honoka's heartless voice sounded nearby. "Look, everyone, there are many school idol groups around! In addition to the DVD, there are posters and badges!"

As a result, the girls who were still showing an unsure expression became eager and rushed over, exclaiming from time to time.

Haru shook his head and looked at Tsubasa and her group. "Tsubasa, if you need help, just call me. You still have my number, right?"

Tsubasa blushed but then nodded. "If I need your help, then I'll call you, but is that alright? Your girlfriend seems jealous now." She looked at Kotori and Maki, who stayed at Haru while holding his hand, showing her sovereignty. She felt bitter and slightly jealous, but what could she do? After all, she was only his ex-girlfriend.

"Nyaa, look! The girl with this badge is cute, nyaa!"

Rin held up a round badge in her hands to show everyone the cute girl in the badge.

"...."

Tsubasa opened her mouth, and she wasn't sure what kind of expression that she should put on her face at this moment, so she could only say awkwardly, "That girl is Hanayo-san, right? Or rather, the place that you just looked at before is Muse's exclusive area."

"Eh?!"

Everyone exclaimed, and the girls leaned together, shouting since they didn't expect to find their own goods at this event, and couldn't help but show an excited and happy expression on their faces.

For them, this was obviously a recognition from society. After all, if someone decided to sell their goods, then it showed that their hard work was being recognized!

However, Haru frowned and looked at the goods, then at the excited girls. He sighed and shook his head without saying a word and then said, "I'm going to the bathroom. You guys wait here first."

"Haru, come back soon, alright?"

The nine girls waved their hands and continued to be immersed in excitement.. Only Maki's eyes flashed, and after waiting for a while, she followed him up with an excuse to go to the toilet.
