How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer (合コンに行ったら女がいなかった話)

All right. Let's go in.

This is my first time at a mixer. What about you, Tokiwa?

Me too.

I wonder if there are any cute girls.

Was it Suo who invited you?

Yes, we're at the same seminar.

WE'RE IN THE SEATS TOWARD THE BACK

She said they're already here.

What? We can't make a girl wait. Let's go.

You're with them, right? This way, please.

Excuse me. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Why do I have to come too?

All right, all right.

I almost forgot to claim the reward.

-Are they guys? -Yeah, they are guys.

They are indeed guys.

HOW I ATTENDED AN ALL-GUY'S MIXER

Two is enough.

-No matter how you look at it, -I can't go out without you.

-I only see three handsome guys. -Let's organize the props.

Did we get the wrong seats?

Maybe I got the wrong shop.

I'll call Suo.

Hello, Suo.

What are you doing?

How dare you make us wait?

This voice... It's Suo.

So it's you.

What's going on?

Where are the girls?

We've got nothing to talk about with guys.

Are you confused because of this outfit?

We're too busy with our part-time jobs.

We might be late if we get changed, so we came straight here.

Part-time jobs?

We work at a men's clothing-themed bar.

All right. Sit down.

Let's have fun today.

-Somehow... -Somehow...

-It's different from what I imagined. -It's different from what I imagined.

Cheers.

Let's play the King Game.

-What? -What?

We just had a toast.

After all, you guys, Kohaku, Fuji,

and I are still a little nervous.

It's not that we're nervous. We're confused.

At times like this,

you should play games to get to know each other better.

Listen to me.

However, it's boring to play normally.

Let's see.

Let's have the king choose two numbers and make them kiss.

-What?! -What?!

It's not a game you can play with someone you just met.

Well then, let's start.

What?

-What? -All right.

Show us your fortune.

I got the king.

Asagi.

Let's go with numbers two and five.

-What? -Goodness.

Are we really doing this?

-All right. Let's move on. -What are you filming?

Why are we here watching handsome guys kiss?

No. Aren't they girls?

Calm down, Hagi.

Wait. All this confusion and doubt is making my mind freeze up.

Hagi, I'm counting on you.

Leave it to me.

Anyway, I just need to pick their numbers, right?

Numbers one and four then.

-Goodness. -Hagi.

I'm sorry.

-Where should I kiss? -What?

Don't be so nervous.

Her face is so close. She smells so good.

Wait. I need to calm down.

I must be shaken because she looks like a handsome man.

This is Suo. She's a girl, not a guy.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

No, this is even worse.

Tokiwa.

Are you all right?

What's wrong? I haven't done anything yet.

Ms. Suo. You have a strange vibe with people.

You'd better be careful.

Hey.

What are those guys doing?

I don't know.

I'm going to the restroom.

-I'm going too. -Me too.

If I stay any longer, my heart won't be able to take it.

-Wait a minute. -Did they notice?

Hey, Ms. Fuji.

Darn.

Where are you going so calmly?

To gather material for the new issue.

I can't let my guard down.

Ms. Suo, stop her.

Good thing Kohaku is here.

However, it's not easy to get them to let their guard down.

Should I give them some gifts?

So which girl do you like?

You just want to say that, right?

I want to set the mood for a mixer.

So which girl do you like, Hagi?

It's from Suo.

DID WE SCARE YOU?

TO MAKE UP FOR IT, HERE'S OUR USUAL PHOTOS

Their usual photo?

What? She's so cute.

She's totally my type.

She's beautiful.

I've already seen Suo as she is.

Why didn't they dress like this?

However, this is good news.

They may be handsome on the outside but cute on the inside.

That's enough to cheer me up.

All right. Let's hurry back.

But the people inside...

We're back.

Welcome back.

All right, Fuji. It's time to wrap it up.

Just one more.

I need reference material for physical interactions.

Please give me a break.

What's wrong with you guys?

Who are you?

Hey, Tokiwa.

How long can you stay today?

What? We don't have a time limit.

Let's go for another round then.

Okay, we're here. This is the place.

It's karaoke.

We just went with the flow. Is this really okay?

Well, they invited us for another round. That means we have a chance.

Excuse me.

Welcome.

-Two hours for the six of us. -Goodness.

What?

A scoring contest?

That's right. The one with the higher score wins.

There will be a punishment for the loser.

Wait.

I've learned my lesson in the King Game.

Suo may look serious,

but she'll suggest some weird punishments.

Right?

I'm quite a good singer.

-What? -What?

What's wrong with you?

If I win,

please change back into women's clothes.

That sounds like a good idea.

-Sure. -Really?

I'm going to sing now.

TOTAL SCORE, 98.92 POINTS

-That's amazing. -That's amazing.

Are you all right?

-Yes. -Yes.

I've got this in the bag.

Although I'm not as good-looking as her,

but I'm confident in other aspects.

This is my first time getting 100 points.

Amazing.

Is this a beautiful voice?

My ears and my brain...

I think I won this round.

What is the punishment?

- It seems really fun inside. -I can't wait.

-Don't take it too far. -What should we do?

-Should we take it off? -Which is better?

-Yes, it's perfect. -Excuse me.

Here are your extra-large fries.

-I see. - A bunch of guys around a girl.

Isn't this a bad situation?

Guests.

What are you doing?

What?

So it's a guy?!

You scared me. This can cause misunderstandings.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

It's French fries.

He saw me!

The unique feature here is a variety of rental outfits for guys.

The staff won't think it's weird.

I can't believe I get to play this with you.

I'm so happy.

It really suits you.

How does it suit me?

Why don't you try this on next?

Are we still playing?

My stomach hurts from laughing.

Once she's in this state, no one can stop Suo.

Ms. Fuji? What's wrong?

It's here.

It's here? What's here?

A handsome prince meets a pitiful young man at a karaoke bar.
