Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 247 Mobilization Before the War
An hour passed after that.

When Shiyu, who went to the restroom halfway, returned to the booth, he saw the trio from the baseball club sitting around the table and studying something.

"...What are you doing? And Kato-kun?"

"Ah, Senior Kasumi Hill."

The three of them raised their heads and said, "We are reading the magazine Brother Kato brought back. As for Brother Kato and others... they said they went to say hello to other clubs."

"Magazine?"

"Yes! Because there is still some time before we leave the venue, the eldest brother let us pass the time by ourselves, so we are planning to go to other booths... Ah, here is another book specially reserved for you."

The trio stood up from their seats while talking, and handed over a CM catalogue respectfully.

"...Is that so, thank you."

Shi Yu reached out to take the magazine, and glanced at their faces one by one, "I remember that you are also in the second grade. Since everyone is the same, there is no need for honorifics."

"Uh... Then, Kasumigaoka-san?"

"Well, that's fine."

After the girl nodded slightly, she sat down in her previous seat again, "Then you go shopping, I'm fine here."

"Okay, then please take care of Xia Zhiqiu." The three turned and left.

Amidst the murmurs of "I didn't expect Kasumigaoka to be so talkative", "As expected of the... person next to my brother", "Idiot, the voice is too loud", Shiyu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and then casually flipped through the book in his hand. publication.

The CM catalog is equivalent to the venue index, and the content in it basically includes all the records of this event.

Including the map of the venue, the index of exhibiting clubs, the introduction page of exhibiting clubs, the introduction of enterprise booths, and even the places where drinks and food are sold in the venue are recorded.

It is such a book like a brick, for those fans of Comiket (abbreviation of Comic Market), it is basically a must-have good thing for everyone.

Because the participating clubs will change every time, in order to buy their favorite products, Otaku often buy CM catalogs in advance to formulate detailed strategies and purchase routes for this event, and the catalogs themselves also have certain collection value.

It is worth mentioning that although it is called a course book, this book is not free.

If it is purchased on the day of the event or online, the price is 2000 yen a copy, and for those fans who need to make a strategy based on this, they usually buy it in advance from convenience stores or bookstores at a slightly higher price.

"cutie fake", "digital lover", "egoistic lily"...

The girl just flipped through the club introductions in the event catalog page by page, until the introduction page of a certain club with a bunch of titles and honors came into her eyes.

""rouge en rouge"..."

Shi Yu murmured, her beautiful brows could not help but slightly frowned, and then she cast her eyes on the booth in the gate area.

"Why did that person appear here..."

Through observation, even though she knew that the other party didn't seem to have appeared in her club, she would still subconsciously look there from time to time.

Speaking of the name "rouge en rouge", it was a club name that even Shiwa, who had never participated in Comiket, had heard of before.

It covers a wide variety of categories, products, and creators.From notebooks, games, music CDs, universal, adult, secondary creations to original content...

Their works never make fans feel tired, let alone go out of trend.Since its development ten years ago, it can be said to be a huge organization similar to an enterprise.

The founder of the club is the ultra-popular manga artist and original author who is sure to be a hit every time a single book is released, and has many animation adaptations under his name——Akane Benizaka.

But it is such a monster who is said to have gradually retreated behind the scenes, but today not only came to her door in disguise, but also sent an invitation to the treasure boy in her heart.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu couldn't help feeling restless.

Obviously, as long as I am the career-oriented big sister who is by his side, it is enough, where did this annoying BBA-type character come from? ?
"Unforgivable..."

With her hands folded in front of her mouth, she couldn't help blurting out: "How could it be possible for you to snatch it away, that stinky old woman."

And the next second...

"What is unforgivable?"

"……Eh--?"

A figure suddenly sat down beside him.

"Thank you for looking at the booth, senior sister. Did Ito and the others go to the exhibition?"

"Huh? Ah, um..."

Shi Yu nodded dumbly, then cleared his throat and said, "...Did you hear what I just said?"

"Huh? Just heard 'unforgivable' and 'grandmother' stuff, did something happen while I was away? " Kato Yusuke asked suspiciously.

"—No, nothing happened."

"Is that so...but Senior's face looks very red."

"Is there? Probably because it's too hot in here."

Kato Yusuke then handed over the things in his hand, "If you don't mind, use this, Shiba-senpai."

"Hmm...? Wet towel and round fan, where did you get these things?" Shiyu asked, looking at the things in front of her.

"I brought the towels from home, and the round fans I just got from other clubs, so they come in handy at times like this. In addition, there is plenty of water and food, so just take them if you need them."

"...Thank you, you prepared well. As expected of Kato-kun, you are amazing."

"Because Aunt Sayuri, Ying Lili's mother, told me a lot of precautions. These are all their previous experience in participating in the exhibition. I just copied it, so it's nothing..."

Kato Yusuke paused temporarily when he said this, and then asked in a blank tone to the girl who was burying her face deep in the towel and was panting continuously.

"What are you doing? Shiba-senpai, I bought that towel from a convenience store this morning. Is there something wrong?"

"—!?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu paused suddenly, then silently raised a pair of magnificent dark red eyes from the wet towel, "I bought it from a convenience store...?"

Suck--

"But this seems to have a nice mint flavor on it..."

"Well, because I washed it with body wash before. Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, I just think it smells good."

The girl calmly took off the towel from her face, and said casually, "What brand is this shower gel? I'll buy one later."

"Adidas mint, but it's for men. Does senior sister like this kind?" Kato Yusuke said with some surprise.

"Probably." Shi Yu replied vaguely, and silently put the towel on the other side of her hand.

For some reason, her face seemed to turn from a light bright red to a slightly deeper flush.

"Speaking of Kato-kun, I remember that the event started at ten o'clock, right?"

"Well, that's right, what's the problem?"

"Then those people standing over there are also members of the club?"

"?"

Kato Yusuke looked in the direction the girl was pointing at, and soon he understood what the girl was thinking.

According to the time, it should be obvious that only members of the participating clubs can enter the venue at this moment, but for some reason, under a certain pillar in the hall, there are many participants who feel that they are just here to buy things.

Among those people, dozens of people are gathering in front of their booths, some are taking pictures of their products, some are talking on the phone and I don’t know what they are discussing.

There are even some people who don’t even obey the committee staff’s instructions of “Okay, you can’t line up now, let’s walk~” and just put on a posture that they must be the first to line up for their booth, showing a full of fighting spirit .

"Ah, I think those are probably the doujin speculators that Eriri said." Kato Yusuke said suddenly.

"A fellow speculator?" Shi Yu repeated what he said, with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's people who report fake clubs to enter the market in advance to shop. Most of the doujinshi resellers on the Internet basically rely on this method to snap up popular products."

"I see, so the vacancy I just saw in the slums is from them?"

"...that is called the island area, senior sister, and it is a stage that all new writers and enthusiasts have to go through. Speaking of which, if it wasn't because of joining the "egoistic lily" relationship, I should also be a part of it. member. "

The girl who heard his words laughed lightly, "Well——but as long as it is Kato-kun, you will be able to stand out from the crowd soon, because you are so special."

"maybe."

Kato Yusuke responded noncommittally, then silently picked up a bottle of oolong tea from the side and drank it.

……

After 09:30, movement between venues is restricted.

The gate to the outside was opened, and the target was placed on the most popular booth... that is, the participants in the booth in front of the gate were gradually attracted to the outside.

After a while, the crowd gathered in front of their booth also walked outside through the side door, and the trio from the baseball department also returned here.

In this way, in the last 10 minutes before the opening.

Kato Yusuke gathered everyone together, and after exhorting their respective responsibilities again, he first stretched out a hand.

"Thank you for your help today. In short, please work hard with me to achieve the goal of selling out."

So the rest of the people also stretched out a hand and stacked up.

When it was Shiwa's turn, the girl did not choose to stack on top of the Santo group, but put her hand under Kato Yusuke's.

"For the president, come on!"

Beginning with Shiwa's words, shouts full of enthusiasm and vitality from sports boys resounded in this area.

"Oh~~~~~~~~!!!"

"The first Comic Market will be held soon."

With the radio in the museum playing on the loudspeakers, the battle that will determine the direction of someone's life is grandly unveiled.

There is also a vague sentence of doubt in it.

"Sister, let go quickly, the mobilization is over."
