Chapter 83: Have You Ever Considered Working as a Cosplay Model?

“Your Outfit Is Really Pretty. Did You Make It Yourself?”

Hearing Seol Yoon’s comment, I widened my eyes.

She’s not about to say something weird, is she?

“I bought it from a shop and made some alterations.”

“Oh, I see.”

If you’re attending an event like this, you’re definitely a hardcore otaku.

And in the middle of such people, there was a normie—Seol Yoon.

I felt a little tense, worrying that a massive social disaster might unfold.

Otaku are usually timid and quiet, but when their interests are attacked, they can turn aggressively defensive.

And yes, I was the one who brought this normie here.

So what?

“Do they sell Venus cosplay outfits at the shop? That’s my favorite character.”

“!?!”

“?!?”

“!?!!”

“!!!!”

My jaw dropped at Seol Yoon’s words, as did Nyangppung’s and her four lackeys.

Yes, she finally recognized Venus’s greatness!

But this was about to be a major controversy.

I never programmed her with this command—where did this come from?

I had expected Nyangppung to assume that Seol Yoon was the same anonymous user from the forum fight.

But I hadn’t anticipated such a direct attack!

Even I hadn’t expected this!

‘Does she know something? No way.’

Absolutely not!

There’s no way she could have gone through my internet search history.

I take my personal security very seriously!

There are things I browse that, if my family ever found out, I’d have to hang myself on the spot.

Oops, that slipped out.

Forget I said that.

“They probably do? She’s really popular, after all.”

Nyangppung’s response was basically unconditional surrender.

She must have been convinced by now—fully believing that Seol Yoon was the same person from the forum argument.

A complete breakdown of mental warfare.

Any move she made would only damage her further.

The overwhelming difference in genetic superiority had crushed her.

Nyangppung’s HP was already at zero.

And then—

A staff member came running out from inside the theater.

Upon spotting Seol Yoon, she immediately approached us.

Understandable—Seol Yoon stands out like a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean.

“Excuse me, would you be interested in working as a cosplay model? We’re holding a mobile game event in Japan soon. You heard about it earlier, right?”

A sudden recruitment offer to be a cosplay model.

And not just any event—an official one, in Japan.

She must have been seriously impressed to make an offer like this on the spot.

“Wouldn’t it be amazing to have you as Venus and Saturn? You two seem so passionate about Magical Girls Chronicle!”

This employee wasn’t just some random staffer—she was clearly a fan.

‘Oh, this is really going to sting.’

They completely skipped over Nyangppung, who was already in cosplay, and went straight to a casually dressed Seol Yoon.

Wait—am I included in this package deal too?

Seol Yoon glanced at me, as if to check for approval.

Wait—if I say yes, is she actually going to go!?

Leaving a mark in the history of Magical Girls Chronicle by having my face immortalized in an official event.

It’s so tempting, but absolutely impossible.

I’d never survive working as a cosplay model in Japan, the global capital of degenerate otaku culture.

Who knows what kind of disasters could happen?

“Sorry, I’m a college freshman, and I’ll be really busy with school.”

“We can work around your schedule! Think of it as a free trip to Japan!”

“Still, I have to decline. Sorry.”

After seeing my expression, Seol Yoon gave a firm rejection.

The employee, who had been clinging to hope, finally realized there was no room for negotiation and stepped back.

I understand the feeling.

That was a talent too good to pass up.

And with that, we parted ways with Nyangppung.

Leaving behind a much deeper and more humiliating wound than I had originally planned.

There’s no way she’ll ever forget this disgrace.

The memory of being trampled by someone with something she could never have.

The sheer humiliation of being completely overlooked by an industry professional.

“Ahahaha.”

Oh, this feels amazing.

I can’t stop laughing.

As for Seol Yoon’s oddly pro-Venus behavior, going out of her way to tea-bag Nyangppung…

Let’s just not ask.

I feel like something terrifying might come out if I do.

“Excuse me! Are you by any chance… Legendary?”

HIEEEEK!?

Two young men approached us shyly.

I nearly jumped out of my skin, but thankfully, they were talking to Seol Yoon instead.

Of course, according to my “official setting,” Legendary is supposed to have an impossibly large chest.

And since I wasn’t wearing my disguise today, I was safe.

By pulling my hat down low, the height difference automatically provided me with perfect camouflage.

Most guys wouldn’t even be able to see my face.

“What’s Legendary?”

“Ah! No, never mind!”

“You idiot. I told you it wouldn’t be her. She’s way too tall.”

“Sorry! I’m not some weird guy or anything. I just got confused.”

“It’s okay!”

Seol Yoon knows about my stream.

I feel a little guilty since I never told her myself.

But I’m grateful that she stopped me from making a colossal mistake during my drunken disaster.

The important thing is—there’s no way she doesn’t know who Legendary is.

‘She’s got talent for acting too! Should she become an actress?‘

The way she just responded would convince anyone that she truly had no idea who Legendary was.

Even I, who knew the truth, almost believed her for a second.

After the two viewers left, Seol Yoon whispered into my ear.

“Looks like your disguise worked, unnie.”

“Y-yeah, looks like it.”

And with that, Kuroidi-sensei’s signing event ended with my complete victory—though it left a slight sense of unease.

For the time being, Nyangppung’s followers would have to endure her inevitable breakdown.

And sooner or later, she’d have to face the side effect of realizing just how plain she looked in comparison.

How dare she insult Venus and publicly ridicule me?

From the very beginning, all I wanted was revenge.

A signing event recap post appeared in the Teamfight Arena gallery.

It immediately shot up to the top-ranked posts and got absolutely flamed.

[Author: ᄋᄋ] [Title: I Went to Kuroidi’s Signing Event to Find Legendary]

[Legendary was nowhere to be seen.

But there was an insanely beautiful woman there.

She was taller than me, and her face and body proportions were so unreal that I thought I was looking at a life-sized figure.

She looked like she stepped right out of an illustration.

Her hair was this mix of silver and pink—normally, that color wouldn’t work on a real person, but she pulled it off flawlessly.

The movie was solid.

I think I understand why people like Venus now.

She’s beautiful, responsible, and a great fighter—there’s nothing not to like.

(I won’t go into details because of spoilers.)

Also, who the hell was that guy who asked a question in Japanese?

At least speak it properly if you’re going to try.

The author kept asking him to repeat himself because they couldn’t understand him.

Like, why did he choose public humiliation?

I didn’t find Legendary, which was a shame, but overall, it was a fun experience.

Here’s my proof shot with Earth.”

[“Look at this dude’s proportions and outfit. What a waste of a normal life.”]

[“Am I the only one who actually cared?”]

[“Otaku stolen.”]

[“Was Legendary fake?”]

[“‘Nisemono’ confirmed.”]

[“I wanted Honmono!”]

[“If she didn’t show up at the signing, then this was all just a gimmick.”]

[“Maybe she likes the series but not the author? It’s not like anime production is a one-man job. You can’t like everyone involved.”]

[“Why are you guys just rolling with this? This dude literally tried to stalk a streamer. Just watch the damn streams and stop acting crazy.”]

[“Can’t a fan just go check out an event?”]

[“Isn’t it creepy to go to an event for something you weren’t even interested in?”]

[“No matter how many times you tell them to stop, they’ll just keep searching.”]

[“Yeah, this guy’s at fault.”]

[“What if Legendary was actually there, but he’s just covering it up?”]

[“If there was no mention of her, this would’ve blown over quietly. But now he’s made it worse.”]

This is seriously irritating.

These lunatics went out of their way to hunt down a streamer who explicitly said not to look for her.

But then again, this is the internet—there’s never just one weirdo in any given community.

The guy deleted his post after taking a ton of heat, and that seemed to be the end of it.

Until—

[Author: ᄋᄋ] [Title: Is This the Pink-Silver Haired Woman from Kuroidi’s Signing Event?]

(Attached: A screenshot from Legendary’s infamous drunk stream, featuring the woman who turned off the stream for her.)

She had a massive chest and an unmistakable body shape.

Her face wasn’t visible in the shot, but the pink-violet dyed hair flowing down the side was clear.

[Comments]

[“This has to be her.”]

[“Even after seeing how much heat the last guy got, you still want to dig deeper? You freaks.”]

[“I really was just there as a Magical Girls Chronicle fan.”]

As if a second coliseum had opened, another massive argument broke out.

But among the flood of posts, some people claimed to have seen her.

---

[“If that was Legendary’s manager, did she go in her place?”]

[“There was a shorter woman with her.”]

[“For the love of god, stop.”]

[“Just watch the damn streams and move on.”]

[“Legendary’s going to quit streaming if this keeps up. Are you prepared to take responsibility?”]

[“If the shorter woman was with her, then yeah, it’s obvious.”]

[“But she didn’t have a chest.”]

[“?”]
