Chihiro

Chiefy, Munechi, over here~!

Sorries, excusies~! Over here!

Kaede

Woah, careful! I thought you disappeared again just as we finally met up.

That being said, it sure is packed. Looks like the advertisements for the soft opening were a big success.

Muneuji

Indeed. However, I did not think HAMA Tours would promote our masquerade ball to the entire country.

Chihiro

Anyone would wanna come if they saw an eye-catchingly adorbs ad like that!

Kaede

True. And⁠—

The advertisements that Muneuji did are also receiving a tremendous reaction.

Muneuji

Indeed, the ones that Gannosuke-san, who the president asked to help us, created. I believe he adamantly warned me to wear a disguise in public.

Gannosuke

No, absolutely not! This barely expresses 10% of Kaguya-kun’s true beauty!

Eyelashes! Indeed, eyelashes are the very essence of this world! I will promote them to their maximum capacity! No need to fret over the small details!

I will make you an advertisement so radiant, the sun itself would pale in comparison! To burn this glorious beauty into the eyes that look upon it!

(Muneuji-kun’s just your average pretty boy, but Gannosuke-san’s somehow spun him out to be an unbelievable legend.)

(”If they see Muneuji-kun’s face, people who have ulterior motives will infiltrate the soft opening,” or so he said…)

Muneuji

Personally, it feels similar to whenever I wear my helmet, so I am very comfortable right now.

Kaede

I see. Good for you.

Chihiro

M’kay~, then Chii’s gonna continue streaming now~! Chiefy, you’ll show up if you stand there.

Kaede

R-Right, a stream… Good luck, Chihiro-kun.

You too, Muneuji-kun.

Muneuji

Understood. Let us make our mark.

Chihiro

Hey Chii-ti-zens ♪ Chii’s back, fully refreshed after a water break~!

Are y’all ready~~? In that case let’s pump up the vibes to the max and get this party started~☆

Coming at you live from Asu High’s legendary Halloween masquerade ball’s soft opening!

And introducing my assistant~… Pumpa-Mune-poyo the jack-o’-lantern~! Despite his appearance, his, like, suuuper courteous-ness is very cute!

Muneuji

Hello to everyone on the other side of the screen, I look forward to being here today. I am the one they call Pumpa-Mune.

Kaede

(The chat is full of comments going “he’s so courteous lol”…)

Chihiro

Doesn’t everyone wanna come to the ball? You all wanna come right~? It’s super easy! All you have to do is to make some Halloween merch and then bring them over!

Muneuji

However, there must be people who are confused over what to make. That is why⁠—

At the soft opening, it is possible to create merchandise under guidance of an experienced advisor.

Muneuji

This is where you can make jack-o’-lanterns.

Raito

And you carve it here… Don’t worry, try using a bit more strength. Put your back into it.

Little Girl

Like this?

Raito

Exactly, this cuteness is perfect for Halloween.

Nagi

Using strength… on my back…

The pumpkin cracks.

Raito

…The rustic charm of Nagi’s pumpkin is also perfect for Halloween.

Muneuji

This is where you can make pumpkin treats.

Elderly Woman

My my, what to do about the color and design of the wrapping paper? A plain orange and purple wrapping paper should be a safe choice, I suppose?

Ushio

Isn’t it fine to go with whatever color you want? It’d be pretty basic if everyone just followed the standard.

Elderly Woman

Dear me, you have a point. Then I suppose I will go with this gold and silver leopard and tiger print.

Tao

Wow, that’s bold. I think it’s awesome. In that case, I’ll go with…

Ushio

Kinouchi-san… Where the heck did you pull that FB1 themed wrapping paper out of…? I swear, those dragon and slime patterns are so childish…

Muneuji

This is where you can make pumpkin charms.

Little Boy

Yay! I finished my jack-o’-lantern charm!

Ryui

Good for you. Now just put a string through it and tie a knot and you’re done.

Kinari

Is this correct?

Ryui

…Yo, that’s fucking perfect. Since you made it and all, why don’t you try putting it on?

Kaede

(Everything is going great… It’s a community event so there are people other than students present.)

(Everyone from HAMA Tours also showed up. Though among the helpers, there was someone clearly being made fun off…)

(But in any case, this means we’ll have a great reception the day of, right?)

Muneuji

Due to the enormous size of the campus, I suggest using the holographic guidance system when you come.

Kaede

(That being said…)

Yumenosuke

I see, how fascinating… I’ve simply put on a jack-o’-lantern, yet it feels as if my existence was erased.

Kaede

(That’s Yumenosuke-kun I think. We’ve been bumping into him since earlier…)

Yumenosuke

The vividness of this pumpkin charm, and the flavor of these pumpkin treats! To think that I, a person with zero experience in both baking and handicrafts, could create such works!

Muneuji

Chihiro

Hey, Munechi. That kid looks like he tried out all the activities⁠—

But we should pretend we didn’t see him, right? Looks like he’s trying to hide or something~

Muneuji

…Indeed.

Chihiro

Oh! Munechi’s smiling! Then again Prezzie looks like he’s enjoying himself.

Muneuji

Indeed. Therefore, if he wishes so, we should pretend to not have noticed him.

It feels as if I have completed half of my work just by seeing him as such. How strange…
