Episode 59 – Real Show ②

[ ‘Hello Friends~! I have a question for Ryoga sama and Shiorin. What is your favorite food?’ Yes, we have received a question ! Let’s start with Shiori chan, how about you?]

“Right. I like ramen quite a lot and often go out to eat it.”

[Eh, I see ! This is an unexpected answer.]

“Fufu, I get that a lot.”

[ [Hahaha] ]

Laughter erupted from the audience.

At the venue, the event was proceeding as planned.

The behind-the-scenes talk with the director was over, and what we were doing now was a Q&A session from the fans.

Himemiya san is making the audience laugh with her ample smile. I guess she has a different experience…….

As for me, I’m just trying to keep up with the assistance of Himemiya san and the female voice actress who is hosting the event.

Well, it’s my first time, so it can’t be helped, but I’ve been completely exposed to the fact that I’m usually having a bit of communication problem.

Sigh……

[I see……. By the way, how did you get hooked on ramen–]

–But still.

As the host voice actress and Himemiya san, who’s in a cat cosplay suit were having a conversation, I stared at a spot in front of the audience.

Sitting there is a woman wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat.

I wonder why she is dressed like that when it’s not winter, but that is not the issue–

(That silver hair……it must be it, right?)

If I’m not mistaken, the woman sitting there has beautiful silver hair that sticks out of her hat.

It’s a hair color you don’t often see, and even if she dyed her hair, it wouldn’t be that bright silver.

If I’m right, the woman in disguise is definitely…….

No, but why is she here?

I don’t get it, really…….

As I was thinking that, I felt a soft pinch on my back.

“Rroga-kun, please.”

“Eh?”

I hurriedly turned my gaze to the side and saw the host and Hinemiya san looking at me.

[How about you, Ryoga san?]

Oh, no.

I don’t know what they are talking about because I was distracted by the audience.

(Talk about your favorite food)

Himemiya san tells me so in a low voice.

T-thank you, Himemiya san. ……

“Ah, let’s see. I-I like parfaits and stuff.”

[Heh~, I see ! This is another cute answer~]

[ [Hahaha] ]

O-oh. The audience is laughing…..

“Oh, by the way, Ryoga kun, you posted a picture of the parfait on Twitter, right?”

“Eh, ah, yes. That was at [Nakamuraya] in Kyoto, where I went on a school trip–“

—-

[The next question is the last one !]

I looked at my watch and it was almost 4:00 pm.

The Q&A session was the last of the event, so this question should be the end of it.

“Phew.”

Okay, let’s keep going like this and get through to the end–

[‘Hello friends〜 I have a question for Ryoga sama. What is your favorite type of woman?’]

–Hm? What did you just say?

[I’d love to know too. I’m sure Shiori chan would be interested, right?]

“I’m curious too. What kind of women do you like, Ryoga kun?”

“Eh?”

I noticed that all the attention around me was focused on me at once.

Even Himemiya san stared at me with a serious expression.

Why are they asking such a question to a shady guy like me?

“……”

–No, I see. I understand.

This is just complete ridicule.

It’s the type of question that would make them laugh if I answered seriously.

Phew, that was close.

I was almost fooled……

“N-no. I don’t have one.”

“B-but you have a little bit of preference, right? I want you to tell me…….”

For some reason, HImemiya san was biting back with a serious expression on her face.

Why go to that extent…….

“Erm, right–“

While saying that, I turn my head all the way.

First of all, if I answered this question properly, I would definitely be out of the game.

No one would benefit from hearing what my type of woman is.

So, I should say something interesting here. There should be some interesting answer that will satisfy the audience at the end…….

At that moment, the image of a certain character…suddenly appears in my mind.

Twin-tailed blond hair and blue eyes.

A noble and beautiful girl who confesses her feelings to the main character with a sad expression on her face.

The gal game I’ve been playing lately, [Which do you prefer, gold or silver?], the heroine, Sasara Arisa.

H-here I go……

Deeply moved by my own flash of genius, I opened my mouth——

“I-I like blonde twintails.”

Shhh

The venue is enveloped in complete silence.

Y-you’re kidding, right?

“N-no way…….”

Himemiya san looked at me with a face like she was about to cry, and this was completely beyond repair.

I-it’s over…….

[I-I see〜. W-well, then, I guess this event is over. Thank you everyone !]

Thus, the event came to an end.

★

“I’m Ryoga from Aono Enterprise. Thank you very much for today.”

“Oh, Ryoga kun, thank you for your hard work as well.”

“Well, I’m off now.”

Tatta

After parting ways, I arrived at the backstage after greeting the staff.

Click

“Ah…….”

My eyes met Himemiya san’s, who was sitting on a chair.

Today’s event was going well until I made a mistake at the end.

I should apologize to Himemiya san after all.

“I’m sorry about–“

“R-Ryo kun !”

“Y-yes.”

Himemiya san looked at me with a serious expression. I wonder if she’s going to get mad at me after all.

I closed my eyes, prepared myself–

“Y-you like girls with blond twintails?”

“…… Eh?”

The unexpected statement freezes my thoughts for a moment.

W-why are you asking me that question now……?

“W-well. That was just a character in a game I was playing recently who had blond twintails.”

“R-really?”

Saying that, Himemiya san approached me in a rush.

Putting that aside, isn’t there something wrong with the distance……?

“Y-yeah. I’m really sorry, I couldn’t say anything funny.”

I made a landmine answer that even Himemiya san couldn’t cover, so I really have no choice but to reflect.

“I-I see now. (Sigh……)”

For some reason, Himemiya san sighs as if she is relieved.

What does that mean?

“Well, I’m off then.”

Just as I said that and was about to remove the animal-ear from my cosplay, I was grabbed by the arm with a snap.

“W-wait a minute.”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

“Um……would you like to take a picture?”

Saying that, Himemiya san starts up the front camera of her phone.”

“I-in this outfit?”

“I was able to perform with you at the event, so I thought I’d post it on Twitter.”

S-seriously…….

Himemiya san looks amazing in her cat cosplay suit and is cute, but to be honest, I can’t even look at her.

It’s already confirmed that it’ll become my black history if I’m seen like this on Twitter.

“Is it……not good?”

Damn, if she stares at me with such an expression, I’ll…….

“……I get it. Let’s take a picture.”

“Yay♪then I’ll sit over there.”

“Eh? Y-yeah.”

Saying that, HImemiya san sat on the extra part of my chair.

The image displayed on the smartphone has a lot of blank areas no matter how you look at it.

“I-isn’t this kind of close?”

“Ah, let me zoom in.”

Eh, why is that?

“Okay, say cheese.”

“……”

Snap !

“Thank you so much. I’ll send it to Ryo kun, too !”

“Yeah, thank you.”

Ping

The picture sent to me shows me and Himemiya san with a big smile on her face.

This Himemiya san is cute…..

“……I-I’m not going to put it on Twitter after all.”

“Eh?”

Shiorin’s cheeks are slightly red for some reason.

It’s an offer that I’m not even wishing for, but what kind of change of heart?

“Let’s make it as each other’s phone wallpaper as a keepsake.”

“Wallpaper?”

Wallpaper means that I have to look at it when I unlock my phone, right?

“Do you know how to do it?”

“N-no. I don’t know.”

“Can I borrow it?”

“Y-yeah.”

I handed her the phone as she asked me to, and she operated it.

The photo on the lock screen of the returned phone was the one we had just taken.

“I-it’s okay if I change it, right?”

“Eh? Wait–“

Tattattaa

Himemiya san said that and left the dressing room.

W-what am I supposed to do with this……?
