The blinding light fades away.
The location is still the plaza inside the game.
However, the appearances of the five people standing around the bench had completely changed.
She stares blankly at Park Minsu sitting next to her, her expression hardening in an instant.
...No way, are you Romantic Gentleman?
He hurriedly adjusts his glasses and gives a small nod.
Uh... yeah. Yura, it's me. Romantic Gentleman...
......
She silently takes a step back.
And a short distance away...
She looks the scrawny Kim Jaemin up and down.
Wait... no way, you're Pochi!?
Embarrassed by his undershirt, he tries to cover himself with his thin arms.
U-uh... yeah, it's me.
......
She falls silent, unable to hide her bewildered expression.
Then, both women's gazes turn toward the last person at the same time.
Where the usual chick, magical girl dress, and burly middle-aged man once stood...
Yomi's real-life appearance, seen for the first time, was standing there.
She stares intently at Yomi with wide eyes.
...Holy crap.
Her eyes sparkle behind her glasses as she strides closer.
Wait a minute. This is Yomi?! Seriously?!
The two women's gazes show no sign of pulling away from Yomi.
