Chapter Index

    “How on earth could you think of hiding that? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.”

    I wasn’t saying this with the intention of teasing Rahee, I really meant it.

    Of course, I was confident that I would pass, but isn’t it true that a person’s heart always flows in the direction they want?

    So, even though I was confident that I would pass, I sometimes suffered from anxiety stemming from the assumption that ‘If I fail by such a narrow margin, I will really be ridiculed for the rest of my life…?’

    I never thought Rahee would have already known the result.

    As I glanced at Rahee with a disapproving expression, feeling as if the moments that I had suffered through knowingly or unknowingly over the past few days were passing before my eyes, I wonder if there was a part of me that was pricking my conscience at all.

    Rahee, who was secretly watching me, opened her mouth in a quiet voice.

    “Oh, no, I…”

    “Okay, why don’t you make an excuse?”

    “There was still some time left until the results were announced, so I decided to let you know by holding a surprise party with about a day left…”

    What…?!

    It’s a surprise party thrown by your girlfriend (not)…?

    I really can’t stand that…

    “···What was I going to do specifically?”

    “Uh, huh…?”

    “Is it a surprise party or something? What were you planning on doing?”

    “No… Last time I went down to Sejong City, I saw you… and you seemed to like cosplay and stuff like that…”

    Rahee said it as if it was some kind of extremely unique taste, but from my perspective, it was a bit unfair.

    No, she is not an ordinary woman, and if she had lived in Seoul like Ari, she would have received scouting offers from all four major entertainment companies. What kind of man would not be attracted to a situation where a girl with an exquisite beauty is showing off her sexy charms while wearing cat ears that she made herself? .

    If so, that person would be the 5th saint, succeeding the 4th sage.

    The fact that the person who made those remarks was none other than Rahee also contributed greatly to the injustice I felt.

    If you’re a serious exhibitionist, what’s wrong with cosplay?

    Since there was so much room for rebuttal, I could have corrected Rahee’s misunderstanding(?) if I wanted to, but the moment I tried, it seemed like it would become tedious and stale, so I decided to keep listening for now.

    It was definitely not because I was curious about the identity of the cosplay Rahee had prepared for me.

    really.

    “So?”

    “Uh, um…?”

    “I’m listening, so please keep talking.”

    As I was talking, did I feel something strange?

    Rahee tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, but then glanced at me with a slightly frowning face, but Rahee did not give in to that and maintained a serious expression.

    Thanks to this, I was able to get through the dangerous moment without any trouble, to the point where cold sweat ran down my spine.

    “It’s also the end-of-year season. I ordered a Santa suit to make it feel like a year-end party…”

    “Tsu-eup… 5 points.”

    “What?”

    “For reference, a perfect score of 10 is given.”

    “···But why is it only 5 points?”

    Why is it only 5 points?

    Are you asking because you really don’t know?

    I guess that’s the way it is, so I can’t help it.

    I have no choice but to become a Namsim Ilta instructor just this time.

    “There is no creativity. Creativity.”

    “No, what…a dog eating grass…”

    Was he making noise or did he want to say something?

    It seems like that, but I was sincere.

    “It’s still early November, so wait until December. I guess the whole world is just Christmas and Santa?”

    Since ancient times, a surprise event should have something amazing that makes the other person go ‘Oh my!?!’, but isn’t Santa cosplay at the end of the year really boring?

    Still, I gave a plus 10 points for preparation, and deducted 5 points for creativity, giving me a score of 5.

    “Ha…! Let’s see if you can still say you’re bored after watching this.”

    “Are you saying that you will disobey the judge’s decision?”

    “Stop talking nonsense and just look.”

    “Don’t try to talk back and answer clearly. Denying the authority of the judges… Oh, oh… Hey, this is…”

    weird?

    The Santa suit I know is definitely red, but why does it seem like there is more skin color than red on the screen I’m seeing?

    “Wow, hey…I guess Santa is from Australia.”

    “What are you talking about? Suddenly.”

    “No, you don’t know that either? They say that December is summer in Australia because the seasons are completely opposite to those in Korea.”

    “Really…?”

    “If you don’t believe me, just search for it.”

    Unlike me, who is planning to graduate from high school, did Rahee, whose final educational level was high school, think that going further on this topic would only put her at a disadvantage?

    “Okay, so?”

    Rahee suddenly changed the topic to the side.

    “So, what is it?”

    “Is this still 5 points?”

    “No, 10 points… 10 points.”

    I was told that I would wear a sexy red bikini with Santa scent, which is a Santa cosplay, but I don’t think I would give it 10 points.

    As I was bickering with Ra-hee like that, with my cell phone full of embarrassing photos between us, I wondered for a moment whether the water I had gulped down out of nervousness while eating with Ra-hee’s mother in the cafeteria earlier might have become a problem. Ari, who had left the room to go to the bathroom, returned to us.

    “What are you two doing together?”

    As soon as I got back to my seat, I was faced with the sight of Rahee and I looking at our phones and chatting away, so I wondered what the reason was.

    The first thing Ari did when he came back to us was to stick his head between Ari and me.

    “What, sister, are you going to wear this?”

    “Why? You even have cat ears on your head, but I can’t do that?”

    Was he dissatisfied with being pushed aside because of Ari?

    Suddenly, a very rough voice came out of Rahee’s mouth as she stood with her arms crossed.

    The expression on his face wasn’t much different from that.

    “No, I’m not saying it can’t be done…”

    “Then?”

    “I just wanted to know if you were okay.”

    “What?”

    “You know this too. Of all the original reds, this type of modern red is the most difficult to digest.”

    ···?

    No, if it’s red, it’s red. What does modern red mean?

    If I were to translate it roughly, I think it means red with a modern feel, but then is there such a thing as a red?

    As I was confused by the appearance of a word I had never heard before, Ari continued speaking without even giving me a chance to understand it.

    “Not only her skin but also her hair is warm, so if she wears something bright red like this, she will look completely bright…”

    Even though it was at lv.1 level, it was a series of words that I couldn’t interpret even with my reading ability, which I pride myself on speaking a bit more feminine than other guys. But anyway, the point is that Ari is pouring out a check against Rahee. was understandable.

    In a way, cosplay can be said to be Ari’s identity, so it was as if a siren sound was ringing loudly in his head as Rahee tried to invade his territory without permission.

    If this were a baseball game, the umpires could not stand it any longer and would have called for the player to be sent off.

    And Rahee’s response to Ari’s actions…

    “It’s not because I’m worried, it’s because I’m scared, right?”

    “Yes?”

    “No, honestly, that’s true. Even now, the situation is at a boiling point, and here I even use the cheat key called cosplay?”

    Surprisingly, it was a head-to-head match.

    No, you’re going to challenge me head-on here…?

    Also, ‘You used the cheat key, right? While casting ‘It’s actually a piece of cake, right?’

    I thought Rahee’s personality would make it impossible to stay still, but regardless of that speculation, it was a perfect counter punch.

    As it happened, it got stuck right in the solar plexus, so Ari couldn’t respond in any way other than mouthing silently.

    With his eyes wide open, he went into a stunned state and turned towards Ahri.

    “If I were a woman, I wonder if that bastard who can’t use his own feet would not fall for me and be a bastard.”

    Rahee’s finish was scorching.

    Even his posture was terrible.

    Even to me, as a third party, it seemed very unlucky for someone to cross their arms and highlight their chest as if showing off.

    It must have felt that way to me, but what would it have been like for Ari, who was directly attacked?

    Ari’s eyebrows drooped as if he felt saddened by this situation, which he wanted to refute somehow, but had nothing to say.

    “Uut···.”

    For a moment, a glum expression appeared on Ari’s face.

    It was at that moment that I decided to intervene.

    “Come on, stop fighting. If you really care about that part, wouldn’t you do it like this?”

    “···How?”

    “What are we going to do?”

    “We both cosplay equally.”

    As soon as I could say that, what came back was Ari’s slightly embarrassed reaction.

    I had no idea that such a reaction would come, so I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as well.

    “eh…? Me too…?”

    “You don’t like it?”

    “No… It’s not that I don’t like it… I think this is too erotic…”

    “···?”

    Ariari… What on earth do you mean by wearing naked cat ears and declaring that you will even play school uniform in the future?

    ‘Well, if that’s enough…’

    It seems like the reality-related issues have been sorted out, so why not visit another world for the first time in a while?

    Let’s see… which one would be better this time…?
