This was a pretty straightforward chapter. I love that the MC accomplished everything he wanted to. Complimented the girl he likes on her cosplay, asked to take a picture (didn’t pan out, but was still pretty embarrassing and took conviction), hung out with her at the festival, and even got the pictures he wanted thanks a wingman(woman). That’s really praise worthy compared to other shounen romance MC’s (is this a shounen? I’m assuming)
Also what’re those last two speech bubbles supposed to mean? Is that a proverb or figure or speech lost in translation (or that I’m just not getting)? And why repeat. Also who even said it?
