Chapter 84 – Shouldn’t It Be Like This
The first job of The Queens was to walk around the venue in cosplay costumes and greet people before the performance.
For safety, several bodyguards dressed as soldiers were walking along, but I was worried, so I followed them behind them.
“Ohayougozaimasu~”
Of the three, So-ye did the best job.
Keeping a smile on his face and constantly smiling and waving his hands eagerly, it was the standard of all the best looks to show at the event.
The princess outfit also naturally matched her current behavior.
“…”
Next to him, Im Ha-eun was dealing with it a little stiffly.
She often blushed as if she was ashamed of the outfit she was wearing, and even frowned whenever people enthusiastically cheered.
A girl who is already familiar with sexy outfits is too exposed, so there’s no way…
Are you so ashamed of being an otaku, Ha Eun-ah!
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have given you an order…’
If I had said just one word in advance before walking around, I would have been able to do my job well and greet people naturally, like when I was filming an advertisement video.
I’m sorry in many ways.
However, compared to Minji, Haeun had nothing to worry about.
“…”
Minji doesn’t even say hello properly, but rather snoops here and there.
His gaze was constantly moving, chasing goods sold here and there or events.
‘I told you to work. Who told you to watch, Minji? .’
It’s good that she got motivated by making her do what she likes, but it’s not until that motivation leads to virtue.
No, you’re at work right now… I’ll give you a tour later…
As I was walking along, praying earnestly in my heart, a doll mask of a mascot character from a game company approached me.
“(Japanese)Hmmm, they’re all very pretty.”
“Who… Oh, Mr. Nakamura?”
“(Japanese)Hi Mr. Lee, excuse me for wearing this outfit.”
He’s a person who sold his face, so he’s walking around in disguise.
“(Japanese)Hey, you did a really good job asking all three of you to cosplay! I didn’t expect it to be so well-received. From the look to the body, it’s perfect…”
“Uh, what, high, high.”
I couldn’t understand the words properly because my Japanese skills were not yet very good, but judging from the tone of voice and the words I understood, it seemed like a compliment, so I roughly agreed.
“(Japanese)Freyja’s shy and tsun-tsuk look, the acting was perfect. It’s method acting itself. The acting in the commercials wasn’t worth it.”
“Um, tsun-tsun… I’m sorry, he’s so tsun-tsun? If you have time, laugh a little more, umm, I will make a smile, a smile.”
“(Japanese)Besides, Mr. Baku! You do a great job playing Orianna! Orianna herself…! I found out yesterday, but there are so many things I know. She brings out her character very well, and it’s very nice.”
“Baku, um, it’s about Minji. I don’t know what it is, but if it’s very good, it’s good. Hi-hi.”
“(Japanese)Astraia is also doing a good job as a kind princess… And she’s the best. Please continue to do well. I’ll just go.”
She’s a doll mask, no, Nakamura, who just says what she wants to say and leaves.
I think he might have given some compliments and instructions, but I’m very sorry that I couldn’t understand.
‘I’m not angry, so there won’t be a big problem if I keep the status quo…?’
I will continue to follow you and give you instructions to do things properly when the timing is right.
However, when the timing will fly, it would be nice if it came out quickly.
I kept following the kids who wandered around like that, but in the end, I couldn’t give them any instructions until they got ready for the stage.
***
After The Queens went around eagerly greeting passers-by, the next thing was a stage performance.
It was a performance that had already been prepared several times, so they performed well on stage even while wearing cosplay costumes.
The onlookers also showed enthusiastic reactions.
“What the hell is that… Fluorescent stick? At a show? Dancing?”
“It’s just like a unique cheering culture.”
“Really…? I was surprised to see something like this for the first time.”
Yu Ga-hye was a little surprised by the reaction, but Lee Se-jin was very satisfied.
It was because excited fans waved fluorescent sticks not only for the opening song of the game, but also for The Queens’ original stage.
Having fun together, and getting stuck in the choreography of the kids and opening their mouths…
‘At this level, the stage is a success. I was a bit inexperienced when I was walking around, so I was worried…’
After finishing the stage well, the talk show was the last thing I did.
Lee Se-jin nodded as he saw The Queens sitting in a corner with the production team and voice actors in the center.
“Uhhh, is it for face signs?”
While the director and voice actors gathered and chatted hard, The Queens sat quietly beside them.
There were times when the question arrow returned, but there were few opportunities for them to talk.
Lee Se-jin was satisfied with that appearance.
‘Yes, this is correct.’
It’s best to calmly end the event by calmly addressing your face, rather than giving the people here a bit of an image to blame for by talking nonsense.
It’s great enough to sit like this on a talk show and take one more look at people’s eyes, ummm.
“Okay~ Next, I’d like to have a quiz time.”
“Ohhh, quiz time!”
Clap clap clap.
“It’s time to check the knowledge and affection of the voice actors and developers, so please, everyone here, please do your best?”
“Yes~”
That’s why when the quiz show started, Sejin Lee covered his mouth with his hand in front of the kids and said with a gaping mouth.
‘Do it in moderation, in moderation.’
It’s good to actively participate in the quiz show and put a stamp on your face, but you should be careful not to get too excited and get a bad image.
It was Lee Se-jin’s idea, and it was an ordinary and passable judgment.
But…
“As a prize, what a surprise! We will give you a limited edition 1/7 scale Freya figure.”
‘That one will come out in a month…!’
It sounded different to Minji, who was blinded by the products of the quiz show.
‘Do you want me to work hard…? That’s right, that’s how it should be, okay brother…!’
It was Park Min-ji, who was the opposite of Sang-sang and the tension went up.
“There are a lot of people who participated, so I’ll pick a representative for each team. Yumi is from our XEX Solver voice actor team… And from The Queens, the Grand Ragnarok cosplay team…”
“Freya figurine, Freya should be the representative, isn’t it?”
“Ahaha, that’s right! Our Freya-sama!”
“Huh? Me?”
Lim Ha-eun, who was not able to understand what was being said, was taken aback when the interpreter whispered to her.
“Unnie, I’ll tell you the answer, so just tell me!”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
“Then, the first problem, Freya’s famous line and defeat…”
〈 Beep!〉
The bell in front of The Queens rang before I could finish talking about the problem.
“Oh, cosplay team! It’s amazing that you can answer the questions before you even hear them.”
“It’s ‘Kuu, Korose!’, The correct answer.”
“Uh… That, keut, Colosse.”
“That’s the correct answer! You know perfectly well because it’s your line.”
“Awesome!”
“Wow, Sugoi-“
Everyone applauded in a warm atmosphere.
“Then, the second problem, the ultimate skill of Luna, a new character in XEX, has a knockback judgment for herself, and the maximum that can fly with that knockback…”
〈 Beep!〉
Again, the bell in front of The Queens rang.
“10 meters, oh, so… ‘Jyu-Metoru’”
“Uh… ‘Jumetol’?”
“That’s the correct answer! Ohh, this is true… Have you played XEX as well?”
“Uh, that, yes, high, high, high.”
“Great-!”
“As expected, to the extent of cosplaying, it seems that you also like games.”
Still warm atmosphere.
However, after that, when the fifth quiz was answered in a row, the atmosphere started to get weird little by little.
‘Uh, shouldn’t it be like this?’
‘I need to match it evenly… But this is a bit strange…’
The MCs who host the quiz show looked at the director and others to see if they were okay,
‘No, I’m a game developer, and if I can’t get a single problem right, I don’t have anything to say about this.’
‘Still, I think I’ll have to solve the problem with the character I’m in charge of.’
The developer team and the voice actor team began to crack their pride little by little,
“Suge-Cosplay team is serious.”
“You’ve brought Honmono, Honmono.”
“That’s enough to say that she’s the goddess of our game.”
“I have no choice but to admit it, if it’s that level of skill.”
“That’s Honmono Freya, it’s so good.”
“Korean game otaku idols, they do quite a bit.”
Fans watching it were admiring Im Ha-eun, who played the role of the cosplay team, or Freyja.
‘…Are you okay?’
Lee Se-jin was initially taken aback by Park Min-ji’s runaway, but changed his mind after seeing people’s reactions.
First of all, the host is not saying anything, and whenever Lim Ha-eun (feat. Park Min-ji) gets the right answer, the onlookers are cheering.
Well, if it’s an idol who seems genuinely interested in their favorite game, the evaluation can only be positive.
‘Yeah, work hard to get all the correct answers right, Minji.’
What is good is good
Lee Se-jin thought so and continued to quietly watch the quiz show.
However, in the heart of Im Ha-eun, who was in the middle of the reaction, something strange started to stir.
‘What? There’s something strange… The eyes looking at me are strangely twisted…”
“Sister, ‘Anohana no Hatede’.”
“Uh, uh… ‘Anohana no Hatede.’”
“Another correct answer! Great! This was a title that was released one day five years ago and then changed in a hurry!
“Uh, what… Hey hey hey…”
In that way, Im Ha-eun developed an otaku image without even realizing it, but it was only later that she found out about it.
***
With Minji’s crazy runaway show, our kids overwhelmingly won Quiz Time.
Since Freyja rode the figure of Freyja, something came out well, and the reaction from both the officials and fans was good.
I had the timing to whisper in the middle of it, so I had Freyja perform ‘Keep Kill’ once, and everyone cheered and went wild.
After that, we did one more round of greetings until the closing, and this time people were following us around like crazy, so we were able to realize how successfully our kids had finished the event.
‘It was enough to just take a picture of my eyes… This popularity, I can make good use of it.’
It can be said that one way to advance into Japan was added.
Good job and dinner.
After amicably saying goodbye to the director and receiving a cosplay costume as a souvenir, I went back to the hotel and entered the room.
“Phew, I’m tired.”
It’s only the first day, but I’m pretty tired.
Maybe it’s because I’m in a foreign country for things I’m not used to, so I pay more attention than usual.
Or is it because of that woman named Yu Ga-hye?
‘I couldn’t find out what the plan was.’
As she chatted, she tried to pry into her heart little by little, but she was a woman who was just talking hard about work.
She rarely talks about herself, but only asks work-related questions, such as how well she controls her children and whether she has any difficulties while managing alone.
Should she dig out in a slightly different way?
‘If you have to, you might have to ask directly why the CCTV was deleted. It may be a last resort.’
〈 Knock! 〉
A message notification sound that rings as if it is interrupting my thoughts.
〉 Im Ha-eun: Are you sleeping?
When someone said it, it was Lim Ha-eun.
〉 me: no
〉 Me: Why?
〉 Im Ha-eun: It’s just nothing special
She talks to that point and becomes quiet for a while.
〉 Lim Ha-eun: Night walk
〉 Lim Ha-eun: Won’t you?
The message sent with a slight gap seemed to contain meanings other than letters.
