>>6306886>[Meanwhile at the Johnny Convention…]Rora, Pansori, and Celia walk together from stand to stand. The hamburger girl is one or two steps behind, no matter how much the duo brings her forward to walk alongside them, Celia always walks more slowly to create some distance. Despite their disappointment, the girls decide to let her be.
“You sure you don’t wanna buy anything?” Rora asks. “I mean, like, we can all contribute together to buy you something!”
“I-I don’t want your charity…” Celia blushes, clearly too shy to agree.
“It’s not charity if we do it together! You know, like the hug! You liked the hug, didn’t you?” Rora disagrees. Celia looks away.
“Let her be, she’s happy with her cute little plushy. I’d be too! I love collecting them too!” Pansori smiles.
“H-How do you know that?! Did Johnny tell you anything?!” Celia is very embarrassed.
“Uhm, aren’t you holding it?” Pansori acts confused, but she saw you placing it there.
“Huh? Huh?! HUH?!” Celia didn’t even notice that her Johnny plushy was back. “J-Johnny, are you okay? Talk to me, damn it.”
Some girls give Celia a weird look for obvious reasons. Rora asks them to move along. Pansori tries not to laugh.
“Hey, like, doesn’t he have a note?” Aurora points out that the plushy is holding it.
“I’m fine, kisses…” Celia reads the letter and turns all red. She hugs the plushy. “Idiot.”
Both Aurora and Pansori believe this is way too adorable, and that’s when…
...the signal is thrown! You call everyone back to the mission tent: You, Aurora, Pansori, Celia, Donna, Verity, Lydie and Bagna.
“I’m glad you all could make it.” You adjust your glasses.
“I don’t understand the signal. How did everyone figure it out?” Verity is very annoyed that somehow everyone got in here as requested.
“…” Celia really wants to touch your face to verify your identity. She keeps looking down to her plushy, then back to you.
“Uhm, hello there, I’m Pansori! This is Aurora! And I’m not sure if you know Celia already.” Pansori didn’t think about it.
“W-W-We’re classmates. And nice to meet you.” Donna retorts. “I’m Donna, this is Verity…”
“Nice to meet you.” Verity nods.
“And this is—” Donna gets interrupted!
“I’m Johnny’s newest girlfriend: Lydie! I’ll passionately stay by his side as long as my mortal coil allows it.” Lydie is proud to be with you.
“Pretend-to-be-girlfriend.” Verity clarifies.
“I also helped organize this event! Praise me, if you enjoy it! If you didn’t, I’ll assure you that we’ll impress you next time!” Lydie puts her hands on her hips. “I’ll learn so much about my treasure!”
“This place is loads of fun! Look, there’s even a photo booth!” Rora shows the pics her trio took. They made Celia smile somehow.
