NTE: Neverness to Everness held the pop-up event "Kurobane's Petit Fortune-Telling" in Namba, Osaka from October 2 to October 4. The venue at Ponte Plaza, OCAT basement floor, centered on Kurobane, the new character added at the end of September. Cosplay photo sessions featured three appearances: the regular Kurobane, Kurobane in the "Night Walk Banks" outfit, and Rinco.
The pop-up ran for three days at Ponte Plaza on the basement floor of OCAT, with feather stickers and a central crystal ball tied to Kurobane's design. A staff member said around 14:00 was the day's busiest slot, and the author arrived near 16:00 to a plaza holding steady activity. Photo sessions rotated three cosplayers every 30 minutes, and the Kurobane cosplayer also appeared in the plaza off-stage. A "ReroRero Phone Booth" let visitors record a voice message.
