The rest, your only destination today must be in the event hall, the manga club's room, or any room that is connected to the event. Please go back to the event hall at exactly 1PM. Good morning everyone, happy halloween, and enjoy." said Okabayashi in the speaker.
-FINANCIAL GROUP-
"All right, this is it. Prepare yourselves, everyone." said Kenshin and then he opened the door.
A very long queue was lined up before Jousuke's stall. It means a lot of people will buy mangas.
As Jousuke saw the long queue, he was shocked. He thought to himself "What? I'm serving all of them for hours?"
"Good luck, Jousuke." said Kenshin.
Jousuke looked at Kenshin and he thought to himself "That's right. Kenshin's task if much more difficult than mine. I have to do my best."
On the other hand, the queue before Leah's stall only has a few amount of people.
As Leah began buying mangas, she told the first customer "Sorry, Senpai. The maximum amount of mangas we can buy from each person is twenty. Therefore, you can keep those extra five mangas of yours."
"Oh, is that so? It's fine; how much will I get if I sold twenty mangas?" the first customer asked.
"¥3,000, Senpai. ¥150 each mangas" said Leah.
"Okay, that works." said the first customer and then he sold twenty mangas to Leah. Leah replied "Thank you, Senpai!"
Leah put a sign in the stall that says "Maximum: Twenty mangas"
As she continued selling with a smile, she thought to herself "Everything seems to be going fine so far. However, our budget's only ¥90,000. I hope only thirty people will come and sell their mangas."
The three continued their work and so far, they're all doing a happy and great job.
-FEMALE'S CHANGING ROOM-
Jitsukawa, Jouho, and the rest of the club's members were helping everyone change. Everything seems to be going fine.
"You picked a great character. It suits you so well." said Jitsukawa.
"Yeah, my mom picked it for me. She said it'll look good on me." said the person that Jitsukawa was helping.
"I see. You're mom's right, you know." said Jitsukawa.
The person that Jitsukawa was helping chuckled.
To their surprise, a male contestant opened the club's room.
He said "Excuse me, is this the changing..."
Since everyone in the room is female, they were all shocked and screamed. Everyone in the other half of the club's room was confused why a loud noise was released from the other side.
Jitsukawa left the temporary changing room and talked to the man.
"U-uhm, excuse me. It seems like we did not have clear announcement. This is the female's changing room. The male's changing room is located at the art club's room. Your helpers will be the manga club's male members." said Jitsukawa.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for intruding. I didn't know." said the man and then he chuckled.
"No worries, it's fine." said Jitsukawa.
"Thank you for informing me, Senpai! I'll be taking my leave now." said the man and then he ran.
As the man ran, Jitsukawa thought to herself "P-pervert!"
She went back inside the changing room and said "Excuse me, everyone. Forgive that guy. He thought the male's changing room was here." and then she chuckled.
-MALE'S CHANGING ROOM-
The man that came from the female's changing room kicked the door and everyone was shocked.
"Excuse me. Is this the male's changing room?" the man asked as he was panting.
"Yes. Please don't do that to the door." said another man.
"What's up, Ryuusei?" said Natsu as he and Asa approached the man—Ryuusei Douko.
"You're here for the contest?" Asa asked.
Ryuusei replied "Yes. I mistakenly went to the female's changing room."
Asa and Natsu laughed. As they had a chat, another man approached them.
"Woah, I didn't know the three of you were competing as well." said the man.
"Yeah. I'm gonna beat you, Kaito!" Ryuusei replied to the man—Kaito Kishinoue.
"Trust me, I'll win. No doubt. I mean, I'm cosplaying the most famous character now." said Kaito then he laughed. As he noticed, he asked "By the way, where's Jousuke?"
Natsu replied "Oh, you didn't know? He's now the student council's auditor. He's at the manga club right now, selling mangas."
Kaito replied "Is that so? Then I'll show my bestfriend how worthy I am. He'll see me win by beating all of you!" and the he laughed.
Asa, Natsu, and Ryuusei were cringed out.
-EMCEE'S GROUP-
"I already told you, she's the one who came after me!" said Asano as he's kneeling in front of Miyazaki, Poku, and Rika.
"Pervert!" said Poku and Miyazaki.
"Trust me! I came for my phone. She came to tell me to do a great work! I promise!" said Asano.
"That's unbelievable, you frickin' dirty-minded. If Miyazaki-chan didn't see you, maybe you already have touched my little sister." said Poku.
"Trust me on this one! She's the one who asked for a hug!" said Asano.
Miyazaki yelled at Asano "Shut up, drop, and give me twenty!"
Asano dropped and repped twenty push-ups while saying "You really can't trust me on anything huh."
"Don't play with my cousin! I'm not going to believe that happened until she tell me herself about it." said Miyazaki.
"Trust me!" said Asano.
"Shut up! Twenty more!" said Miyazaki.
Rika thought to herself "He's telling the truth." as she remembered she saw Jouho finding Asano. She suddenly spoke "Guys, what shall we do regarding the event?"
Poku replied "We actually need to do a speech later, but Daimon Sensei gave us a script. Also, the school has been decorated since friday. So we actually just need to chill down and prepare our minds for later..." and then she wisphered "But I'm bored..."
"In that case, may we help others?" Rika asked.
"Unfortunately, we may not. We must stay here since they've already assigned their groups' tasks." said Miyazaki.
"So we literally just sit here until 1PM?" Rika asked.
"Sadly, yes." said Miyazaki.
"W-well, in that case, may I go visit Ryouka-chan?" Asano asked then he chuckled.
"Drop and give me thirty!" said Miyazaki.
"Yes, Master!" said Asano.
While everyone in the school was having fun, doing their tasks, and preparing for the contest, Okabayashi suddenly spoke in the speaker "Everyone, it is now 10:30AM. All of the contestants, staffs, officers, and to all the people in the school, you may now take your thirty minutes break. Please go back to where you are at exactly 11AM. Thank you and enjoy!"
Everyone rushed to the cafeteria and had a lunch. Leah, Jousuke, and Kenshin sat together in a table.
"So far, we already spent ¥90,000 and sold ¥90,000, This is kind of bad because we made and lost literally ¥0. If that ¥90,000 that we've spent represents the fifty percent, which belongs to those rightful owners, we must sell three hundred more mangas to match the other fifty percent." said Kenshin.
"C'mon, let's have a peaceful lunch." said Jousuke and Leah while eating.
"Since it seems like I've already calculated everything, sure." said Kenshin.
"Finally!" said Jousuke and Leah and then they high fived.
"Oh, Boutsuki-san, about the art project, may we revise that later? Since the event's done by that time." said Jousuke.
"Yeah sure. I wanna kill some time later anyways." said Leah
"Okay, call me later." said Jousuke.
"Sure." said Leah.
"You two were so close, what's your relationship?" Kenshin asked.
As Leah spat her food out of shock, Leah replied "Friends! Yeah, friends!"
"Oh, you don't have to shout." said Jousuke.
"I see." said Kenshin and then he looked suspiciously at Leah.
Leah thought to herself "It's not what you think it is, Esashi-kun!"
"By the way, Jousuke. I wanna tell you something." said Kenshin.
"About what?" Jousuke asked.
"You two, keep this to yourselves. It's about a music competition." said Kenshin.
