Chapter 617: Tokyo Game Show Opens

After returning to the studio to continue working, when it reached 10:20 p.m., the door to the studio opened and Utaha and Yukino walked in.

Seeing Ichin watching Garo while taking notes, Utaha came over and sat beside him.

"Ichin, we've finished our baths. You should go take yours too."

Ichin nodded and put down the pen after finishing the sentence he was writing.

"Yeah, it is getting pretty late."

Utaha and Yukino had just finished bathing, and their faces still carried that fresh rosy glow. Their skin looked smooth and soft, and their hair still had faint traces of moisture.

Standing up and stretching, Ichin said,

"I got quite a lot of work done today. Feels like I won't need to work tomorrow. I can relax at home for once. Alright, I'm going to take a shower. Are you going to the media room or staying downstairs?"

Utaha replied,

"We're going to the media room. Haruno is already there picking a movie. We're watching a horror movie tonight. Ichin, hurry up and come after you finish bathing. We'll watch it together."

"A horror movie, huh? Alright then. I'll take a quick shower. Wait for me a bit."

Since he had stayed home all day, Ichin sped up his shower and finished in just ten minutes before heading to the media room.

Although they said it was a horror movie, when Ichin arrived he realized that the movie they chose wasn't actually scary at all. It was more of a comedy.

"Scary Movie? How did we end up watching this? Weren't we watching a horror film?"

Pulling Ichin to sit down, Utaha smiled.

"It's late at night and we still need to sleep. If we get scared, none of us will sleep tonight. This one is better."

"Fair enough. Makes no difference to me anyway."

Opening a bag of chips, Ichin didn't mind what the movie was and simply watched along.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Saturday, the day the Tokyo Game Show officially opened.

The first round of livestream programs had already started in the morning, but their segment was scheduled for the afternoon, so Ichin didn't need to go too early.

After lunch at home, Ichin drove to the apartment building and went upstairs to Yagami Kō and Tōyama Rin's place, waiting to go to the venue together.

Narumi Tsubame and Mochizuki Momiji, who also lived there, had already gone to the villa. Those who weren't attending the venue today had gathered at the villa to watch the livestream together.

After opening the door and welcoming Ichin inside, Rin smiled.

"Just wait a moment. Kō is still changing clothes. I picked a really nice outfit for her."

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it."

About six or seven minutes later, the bedroom door finally opened. Kō walked out wearing a fitted dress, her long golden hair carefully combed and flowing smoothly.

Holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, Kō said awkwardly,

"Ugh... can I change back into my usual clothes? I haven't worn a dress in a long time."

"Isn't it really cute?"

Rin clapped her hands with a smile and looked at Ichin.

"What do you think, Ichin?"

Ichin nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it suits you really well, Kō. But I think the next step is putting on some makeup, right, Rin?"

"Exactly! Makeup is necessary too. Come on, Kō, let's hurry and finish it! Ichin, wait a bit. I'll be done quickly!"

With that, she pushed Kō back into the room and started doing her makeup.

Ichin wasn't in a hurry. There was still plenty of time. As long as they arrived before three in the afternoon, it would be fine.

It wasn't until two o'clock that Rin finally finished Kō's makeup and brought her out.

Looking at the delicate makeup on Kō's face, Ichin showed a surprised expression.

"Oh! That looks great. And it's not heavy makeup either. It looks really good, Kō."

Twisting a strand of her hair with one hand, Kō still looked uncomfortable, but she knew there was no helping it and could only push through.

"Let's go. Time to head out."

Going downstairs, Ichin drove while the three of them set off for the Tokyo Game Show venue.

When they arrived, the place was already packed with people. Exhibitors were showcasing their games at their respective booths.

Their company also had a booth here, and the marketing staff had already arrived. At the booth, aside from the playable demo of Tales of Berseria, there were also demo experiences arranged for Fall Guys and Garo.

Although Apex also had new updates to announce this time, the matches in that game were relatively long, making it unsuitable for demo sessions.

After briefly checking their booth, Ichin brought Kō and Rin to the livestream stage that was about to begin.

After greeting the organizers, the three waited backstage while rehearsing the prepared script with the host.

This livestream segment had quite a generous time slot, forty minutes in total. It was enough to promote each game and include a later segment where the voice actors of Tales of Berseria would play the game while providing commentary.

Once the script rehearsal was done, it was almost time. Ichin and the others followed the host and the voice actors onto the stage, beginning the livestream event.

At the same time, at the villa, everyone had already gathered in the media room. They were eating fruits and snacks while waiting for the livestream countdown.

Finally, at 3:01 p.m., the standby screen ended and the main stage appeared. Ichin and the others showed up on the screen.

Aoba exclaimed excitedly,

"Ah! It's starting! Kō and Rin both look so beautiful today, especially Kō!"

Utaha nodded with some surprise.

"Yeah. Looks like Rin spent quite a lot of time and effort doing Kō's makeup. The outfit and hair were done really well too."

Although Rin was also dressed nicely today, Kō usually never dressed like this, so her appearance was especially eye-catching.

This livestream was also broadcast simultaneously across various streaming platforms. On Bilibili's official livestream channel, many players had already gathered since the morning, all waiting for this segment to begin.

And the moment they appeared, it brought quite a surprise to many viewers.

Weren't we here to watch game announcements? Why did this guy bring beauties along?

The guy above seriously doesn't know? Those two are big names at YC.

Yeah, yeah. I've heard YC has tons of beauties, but since Persona, they haven't appeared much in promotional events. Finally they're back this time!

For a moment, many players' attention was inevitably drawn to Yagami Kō and Tōyama Rin.

Fortunately, the host began speaking, officially starting the program.
