How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

"Waaah!" Sirocco wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

I never expected there would be a crying face of Sirocco to see.

She looks so cute when she cries...

Cass initially wanted to pat Sirocco's back to comfort him, but then thought that Sirocco might not like such "same-sex" contact, so he could only cautiously poke his shoulder with his finger.

You can't let Sirocco find out that he finds his crying face funny.

"Al will be resurrected in the later TV series. This is a prequel story, so don't be too sad."

"Wh-what...Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sirocco stopped crying and his face returned to its usual serious expression with a firm gaze.

However, her eyes were still red and had tear stains.

"..."

Cass swallowed hard.

It would be a shame not to take a picture to remember the occasion.

Using a ring table?

It's not that it's impossible, but usually we can't openly photograph Sirocco's face directly; so far, we've only been able to photograph his profile.

Cass looked around and quickly spotted a small, square room set up in a corner of the theater.

A machine for taking selfies.

“Hilo.…”

They stopped immediately.

Based on my previous experience with Sirocco, if I invited him to take photos that couples like, he would definitely refuse.

I don't want to take couple photos with Sirocco!

I just wanted to capture Sirocco's crying face as a friend's good intention, and at most, I took the photo with a bit of mischievous intent!

That's right, there's no problem at all, it was just a joke between friends.

"I'm sorry, Cass. I admit that my previous comments were biased. Pretty Cure is quite good. The story is very well told, it's a really good story."

"Yes, that's right, that's correct."

"Cass?"

At this moment, Cass was thinking about how to get Sirocco to take photos in a photo booth.

After much thought, I realized that only a forceful approach would be possible.

"...I've been looking at it for a while, I need to go to the restroom first."

"Ah, okay."

The opportunity is coming!

While Sirocco was in the bathroom...

Cass walked over to the camera.

Be careful with every step that follows.

After confirming that no one was around to use it, Cass operated the machine methodically and activated the timer mode.

Quickly walk out and return to your original position, watch as Sirocco comes out of the toilet and joins him.

"Let's go buy some drinks. Sirocco, what would you like to drink?"

"Either is fine. I just checked, and the transformation costume designed for Elulu in the movie is much cooler than the one in the TV version. I wonder if the TV version inherited that design."

"Yes, yes, I won't spoil the episode number... you can watch it slowly, Sirocco."

The two walked forward, with Cass deliberately leaning ahead so that Sirocco would half-follow him.

Not even close.

Entering orbit.

3 seconds left.

It's now!

"Waaah! (The voice sounds fake)"

Cass tripped over his own feet and bumped into Sirocco.

“Hmm?!”

The sudden impact caused Sirocco to lose his footing and fall into the photo booth machine.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... What are you doing?"

"Sirocco, are you alright? I accidentally tripped and fell."

"How could anyone actually fall flat on their face in real life? Even Misuzu Kamio would want to become your apprentice."

Kamio Misuzu?

I'm not sure who they're talking about. I'll check their Wikipedia page later.

Kass pulled Sirocco up and continued:

"Oh my god, what is that?!" (Still a fake voice)

"what?"

Upon seeing Cass point at him, Sirocco reflexively looked over.

The direction of the camera.

Just before the camera took a picture, Cass removed the anti-retroviral ring with lightning speed.

As the machine's flashing stopped and it resumed normal operation, capturing the two of them, Cass put the ring back on.

"Wait." From Sirocco's incredibly gloomy expression, it was clear he'd realized this was a couples' photo booth. "You and I... took this kind of photo?"

Sirocco, with an expression as if all his life force had been drained, walked out of the machine.

Casner retrieves the vomited photos.

"Sorry, sorry. It seems someone set a timer for the machine, and I don't know where they went... Do you want this photo?"

"Absolutely not."

"That's it..."

Cass was initially a little worried that if Sirocco said he wanted it, things would be difficult to handle.

"How could this happen? This is a nightmare I'll never forget..."

As Sirocco said this, he again indicated that he needed to go to the restroom, saying that he needed to calm down.

"I'll go buy some drinks first. You can wait for me here after you come out!"

Waving his hand, and seeing Sirocco stagger away, Cass finally took a closer look at the photo booth picture.

Within the heart-shaped border, Sirocco wore a panicked and bewildered expression, while Katya...

"My smile isn't very pretty, but it's still pretty good. This is the first couple photo of me and Sirocco."

It would be even more interesting if my hair could be straightened a bit, my eyebrows a darker color, at a lower angle, and with some shimmering edge effects...

When the passion for photography burns, a touch of greed inevitably arises in one's heart.

Finally, Katya carefully folded the photo booth picture and put it in the ring. She planned to find a cute frame to put it in tonight.

"Hmm~ Hmm~"

She hummed a little tune, placed an order on her phone, and would be able to pick up her drink at the store shortly.
