Story[]
Act 1 is underway, where Minase as a member of the Grand Knights are shown to have revealed themselves by a wolf man. The scene is cut for a break before Akira and Yuka discuss it with Minase. The Knights of the Holy War: Grand Knights is a superhero show with lots of special effects being created at this point. Seeing Imagi pass by, Minase considers how as the stunt man he handles all the fight sequences after the character they play transforms into a knight. For the character of the Blue Knight Yakumo, Minase plays the parts before his transformation where Imagi plays the character when battling.
Considering how cool he is, given a lot of people look up to him, Minase would also want to be friends with Imagi. Asking whether Imagi is free tonight, Minase wonders if he would like to talk over dinner. Although having plans, Imagi feels bad at saying no when Minase asked him, although it is a way he always turns him down.
Heading to drink with Akira and Yuka instead, after they head home, Minase begins thinking about how he does not think Imagi hates him. While walking, Minase finds he may have come across the gay neighbourhood. Although thinking to leave in case of potential newspaper reports, Minase spots Imagi walking nearby. Certain it is him, Minase enters and is welcomed to the bar Image entered. A patron strikes up conversation with him and asks if he wants to go back with him. Intervening having noticed he is there, Imagi affirms that Minase is with him.
Asking what he is doing in a place like this, Imagi checks if Minase realizes this is not just a normal bar and everyone comes here to find partners for that. Falling asleep at the bar, Minase wakes to find he has been brought to a love motel by Imagi. Since they are here, Minase wonders is the reason why Imagi has been refusing to meet them outside of work due to him not wanting them to know he was gay. After Imagi asks what if it was, Minase takes into account the ramifications of news stories. At that moment, Minase who had been drinking states if Imagi does not want the secret to come out then to please be his boyfriend.
Speaking how he really admires him, Minase wanted to get closer but Imagi would not see him outside of work at all. Imagi responds by pointing out the same outcome is there for Minase, his colleagues might think the same of him since he was in a gay bar. Joining him on the bed, Imagi details as Minase said he did not want to get too familiar with the others since if they found out it would get troublesome. Since Minase has found out though, Imagi decides they might as well enjoy their time together. Afterwards, Imagi is keen for him and Minase to be friends just as he said. Imagi adds it is fine if Minase does not want, but requests his answer.
During a break from filming, Minase and Imagi are training on fighting moves together, something observed by Akira and Yuka. After Akira comments on the changed vibe between Minase and Imagi recently, it is something Yuka has noticed too. After Minase thanks Imagi, who says to feel free to find him again anytime, both Yuka and Akira approach the former to speak with. With it remarked on how well they are getting along, Minase becomes flustered and attempts to justify it since they need to on account of playing the same character. To himself, Minase thinks he did want to get closer to Imagi, but contemplates how they are now sleeping together.[1]
