Chapter 582: Miku’s Preferred Gift

"Oh."

Ren responded softly, then asked with concern, "Are you short on money?"

"Why do you ask?"

Hayasaka turned around and looked at him.

"If you're short on money, I can give it to you." Ren said sincerely.

At first, he didn't know how to thank Hayasaka, who always troubled her for help; if she was short of money, he would just thank her directly by giving her the money.

"No shortage of money." Hayasaka chuckled at his words, "The money I get as an assistant in the Shinomiya family is quite a lot, enough for myself."

"Well, if you ever run out of money, you can just ask me directly." Ren added.

"Talk about it later."

Hayasaka disagreed and changed the subject.

"Also, the office has prepared a new contract for Ichika. I'll send it to you later. Can you look at it and see if there's anything that needs to be changed?"

"If there is, just tell me directly, and I'll have the company modify it; if not, the contract will be finalized."

After saying that, Hayasaka took out her phone and sent the file to Ren using LINE.

"Um."

Ren was about to check it when he was stopped by Hayasaka.

"Don't look now. It's very dangerous to walk without looking at the road. It's not too late to look at the road when you're on the bus."

"OK."

Hearing this, Ren put down his phone.

"What's going on over there?"

After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that many people dressed in luxurious clothes were gathered not far away, heading towards a certain place.

The clothing of these people was a style he had never seen before, each more bizarre than the last. There were even people wearing various colors and shapes... Armor?

He didn't know what the clothing worn by those people was called, so he could only describe them like this.

"There should be a comic convention held nearby, and those people should be attending the comic convention."

Hayasaka glanced over there and quickly gave an answer.

Years of intelligence gathering had given her knowledge of all aspects.

Although not proficient yet, some basic questions could still be answered.

"Comic Con? What's that?"

Ren had never heard of this term.

"The gathering place of otaku? Maybe it's an event that will be attended by many people who like 2D, or you can think of it as a specialized meeting."

Hayasaka couldn't think of the right words to explain it for a moment, so she spoke as clearly as possible.

"Kamikawa-kun, you surely know what 2D is, right?"

"I know."

Ren had been looking up this information for a long time.

"What's with the clothing those people are wearing? It's kind of weird."

"They're cosplaying... Playing the roles of their favorite characters. Can you understand my explanation?"

"It's normal for people attending comic conventions to dress like this. Don't take it too seriously."

Hayasaka never expected that one day she, someone who wasn't in the 2D circle, would explain 2D objects to others.

"I think I understand."

Ren remembered that Miku had asked him to wear the War States armor.

She might have been role-playing at that time.

"What's with that armor?"

Ren asked this question, which he cared about a lot.

He had an idea, an extraordinary idea.

"That's not armor, that's a Kamen Rider suit. Simply put, it's clothing that can be used to play a character?" Hayasaka reluctantly answered.

She knew that those people were cosplaying with Kamen Rider, but it would be too difficult for her to educate someone who didn't understand this aspect at all.

"I see."

Ren thought it was armor.

"Phew..."

Before Hayasaka could breathe a sigh of relief, Ren's voice sounded again.

"Isn't Comic Con fun?"

"I don't know, I've never been." Hayasaka shook her head and answered based on her own feelings, "But for those who like 2D, attending comic exhibitions must be very interesting."

"Only people who like 2D can participate in comic exhibitions?" Ren thought for a moment, then added, "Or in other words, can you hold a comic exhibition without liking 2D?"

"I don't know." Hayasaka hesitated a little.

"Wait, what do you want to do by asking this?"

After answering, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was clear that the question Ren asked seemed no longer to satisfy his curiosity, but to confirm something.

"I want to hold a War States-themed comic exhibition, is it possible?" Ren expressed his thoughts.

It was an idea that came to his mind after seeing that armor... No, leather suit.

He didn't know much about events like Comic Con, but based on Hayasaka's answer, Ren could ascertain one thing.

That is to replace the roles played by those people with War States generals, Miku must really like activities like this.

When the time comes, he can invite her to participate.

"...Why did you suddenly come up with an idea like that?"

Hayasaka was silent for a moment before asking quite puzzled.

"Gift, a gift for someone else."

"For who?" Hayasaka asked curiously.

"Keep it a secret."

Because Ren promised to help Miku keep her love for the War States general a secret, he wouldn't tell it.

"Okay."

When she didn't get an answer, Hayasaka didn't pay too much attention to it, she only thought about the possibility of holding a War States-themed comic exhibition.

"It's possible, but there's no profit. Basically, it can be said to be a loss if you order in advance."

Hayasaka thought about it carefully and gave her answer.

"As long as it can be done, no income is needed."

Ren never thought of making money through this War States Comic Con; it was his gift to Miku.

"If done with the intention of losing money, maybe we can hold this Sengoku Comic Con well." Hayasaka analyzed, "There are still many games like Sengoku circulating in the market, which shows that Sengoku Comic Con still has an audience."

"As long as we increase publicity, lower the threshold, reduce tickets or free, hire some professionals to play those roles, and get permission from the War States game, we can definitely attract people to come and participate."

"Can I ask for your help with this matter? I can give you money or other things; you can just ask for them."

Ren didn't understand this at all, so he could only ask Hayasaka again.
