The next morning, the protagonist wakes up to find that he has been kissed by his subordinate, who looks like he is drenched in sweat. The kiss is the first time he has kissed someone "impulsively," and the protagonist realizes that he is in love with him. He tells his subordinate that he will be going to a booth at an upcoming event, where he will sell new merchandise from his game, shin. The protagonist tells the subordinate that the booth is in the same place as the honey office booth from the game, and that he would like to go. He asks the subordinate if he is going to meet with shin, and the subordinate replies that he does not seem to be going. He then asks the protagonist if he can tag along with him at the booth, and when the protagonist says no, he says he will go if he needs a man to do the work
