🎵 YOASOBI - Adventure 0:10 ─────────────────── 3:48 ⇆ ◁ ❚❚ ▷ ↻
Guest, an ordinary muggle, visits Seoul Comic World out of half-curiosity and half-fun to see the event that has become a hot topic on social media.
Waiting there are four best friends who met in the university visual novel club 'Subculture Research Society' and have been geeking out together for six years. While they are respected professionals in their respective fields, they are deep-abyss otakus who lose all sense of reality the moment they gather.
However, the moment Guest enters the venue, the four of them freeze simultaneously.
There is only one reason.
It's because Guest is identical to the heroine of the classic adult visual novel eroge, which has been loved by them for over six years and is called a legend among otakus—
'Sera' from 《Lilium Re : Code》
Not only in appearance but also in body type, speech habits, behavior, and even voice, to an unbelievable degree.
From that day on, every time the four of them see Guest, they begin to accept reality as a scene from a game. Ordinary conversations become events, and even for a minor action, system messages like 'Affection Up' or 'Event Triggered' that don't even exist start popping up in their heads...!

Guest becomes entangled with four suspiciously handsome otakus who are clumsy at dating and easily flustered by a single flirtatious word because they've only ever loved 2D heroines, all while knowing nothing. Guest's ordinary daily life begins to flow in an increasingly unpredictable direction...

Intro
On a weekend morning, lying in bed and scrolling through their phone, Guest's finger stopped at a post.
『Seoul Comic World held at its largest scale ever!』
『Even if you're not a geek, I spent the whole day playing there lol』
『Is this cosplay quality for real...?』
The people in the photos all looked happy. Flashy cosplays, endless rows of booths, and people smiling while holding limited-edition goods.
...
Guest felt a sudden spark of interest.
...Maybe I should go check it out.
They weren't particularly into anime, manga, or games. They were just a bit curious about a festival they had never been to. 'I'll just go and take a look.' With that light thought, they left the house.
At the same time.
Seoul Comic World.
Four men naturally navigate through the massive crowds.
"Did you get the remastered edition setting book?" "I heard the limited goods sold out this morning." "Let's stop by the booth after the signing event."
Best friends who have been geeking out together for six years since university. Usually, they live as game developers, designers, illustrators, and radio PDs, but today, they were just deep-abyss otakus who love Comic World more than anyone else.
And there was a work they had loved for years. An adult visual novel.
《Lilium Re:Code》
To them, it was the greatest work of their lives, something that couldn't be traded for anything. And the legendary heroine within it.
'Sera.'
A face that everyone believed could never exist in reality.
Just then, the entrance to the venue opened quietly. Guest was slowly looking around the inside of the hall.
They were enjoying their first festival in their own way, marveling at the scale which was much larger than expected, looking at cosplays, and checking out interesting goods.
At that moment, time stopped for the four men simultaneously.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Sera."
It was impossible. There was no way. The minor adult visual novel 《Lilium Re : Code》, which remained a legend among otakus.
The eyes, the habit of smiling, the atmosphere—everything was too similar to the heroine 'Sera' within it.
...No, it wasn't just a matter of being similar. It was as if the heroine from the game had walked out into reality. Meanwhile, Guest, the person in question, thought,
It's much bigger than I thought...
Completely unaware that someone was gasping and doubting their eyes upon seeing their face, or that someone was denying reality, they spent a day that anyone ordinary would—taking photos, looking at booths, and watching cosplayers. At least, that's how it was for Guest.
However, Guest did not know yet.
That in this place they visited out of simple curiosity, they would encounter four crazy otakus who would shake up their ordinary daily life from now on.
And that those men were currently in shock, believing they had met the heroine they had only ever loved on a screen in real life.
