Comic World

Comic World.

Back when I was a dude, I’d go sometimes if the timing was right.

I wouldn’t say I had a blast. More like I’d buy a game goodie or two that I liked and watch the cosplayers. That was about it.

It felt like my energy was getting sucked dry with so many people, but I have fond memories of everyone being serious about what they liked and enjoying it together.

Just spectating at Comic World was chill if you went in the afternoon and took it easy, but enjoying it properly seemed like a whole different ballgame.

Pinku Berry, who said she used to go to Comic World a lot when she was younger, took care of everything I needed for this Comic World.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi did the cosplay, and Pinku Berry took care of the tickets, changing room applications, and all that other annoying stuff.

And so, the day of Comic World, Saturday, arrived.

,Wow…”

,Seems like there are even more people than before?”

,Miae-ya, please take care of Arang-i.”

,You bet.”

,Call me if anything happens.”

,You bet!”

Even though I came early in the morning, there were way more people gathered than I expected.

A crazy huge crowd. There were just as many people cosplaying, but I felt like I didn’t belong in this era, which gave me a weird feeling.

I didn’t know what 99% of the cosplayers were cosplaying. The 1% I did know was because they were doing Brown Dust cosplay. Other than that, it was all cosplay I didn’t recognize.

You’d think there’d be some old cartoon characters, but there weren’t any. It’s a bit of a shock.

,Arang-ah. This way.”

I went to the changing room with Bae-tteopgae-ssi.

,Thank you for helping me.”

,Could you zip this up for me?”

,Oh, does anyone have a spare wig cap?”

,Wanna match outfits together next time?”

,How’s my makeup? Does it look okay?”

Various women were decked out in the cosplay they’d prepared.

Since they had to change their whole outfits, there were a lot of women stripping down. Plus, some women doing revealing cosplay were just wearing nipple covers.

But now I’m a proper woman too.

I confidently walked into the changing room with Bae-tteopgae-ssi.

Anyway, it’s super cramped. The changing room itself isn’t great, but it feels small because there are so many people.

And since everyone has suitcases they brought for their cosplay, it feels even smaller.

,Huh? What’s up?”

,Why?”

,Look at that kid. She’s crazy…!”

,Huh? Whoa!? Isn’t she super cute…!?”

,Wow… that person’s really pretty too…”

,But why does she have three suitcases?”

,Right? Does she have weapons in there? Or is she gonna do it with that little kid?”

,But are there even suitcases like that? It looks so weird.”

,Wait. Isn’t that Arang-i…?”

,OMG, it’s really Arang-i…! She said she was coming to Comic World, and she really came!”

,The person next to her must be Bae-tteopgae-ssi.”

As I moved through the cramped space, people naturally started looking at Bae-tteopgae-ssi and me, and some people who play Leore recognized us.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi doesn’t have the most normal common sense, but Bae-tteopgae-ssi, who used to do track and field, has an amazing figure and pretty looks.

Plus, Bae-tteopgae-ssi is confident in her looks, so she didn’t change her appearance much like Pinku Berry did.

The only thing she changed was her hair color?

It’s hard to find a spot with three suitcases.

Everyone has to change and deal with their own suitcases, so it couldn’t be helped. I was about to wait for a spot to open up when a woman raised her hand and said.

,Arang-ah, over here!”

I looked at the woman who called me, and she gestured for me to come over.

,I’ll clear a spot for you.”

The woman hurriedly closed her suitcase and pushed her stuff into the corner as much as possible to make room.

,Are you a Leore user?”

,U-Uh, yeah!”

,Thank you.”

I bowed to the female user to thank her.

,I’ll take your picture first when you’re ready.”

,Wow… nice…!”

,Thank you for lending us the space.”

,Ah, no problem. Bae-tteopgae-nim…!”

Bae-tteopgae-ssi carefully placed the three suitcases she brought in the space the woman made by clearing her stuff.

The noisy changing room went silent as I came in.

Most people were curious about the identity of the three suitcases.

The truth is, one of the suitcases is a normal suitcase, but the other two aren’t normal suitcases.

They look like cutting-edge machines, or something.

The black suitcase had something like a tablet screen on the outside, and it looked super durable.

The reason is that it contains prosthetic arms. Not just any prosthetic arms, but huge ones.

These prosthetic arms are used for Nobel cosplay. For reference, Masbul made them.

When Bae-tteopgae-ssi opened the cutting-edge suitcase, Nobel’s prosthetic arms, which I’ll be using for cosplay, appeared.

The prosthetic arms are about 70cm, the length of a healthy adult man’s arm. Nobel’s prosthetic arms are originally huge, but they got smaller as a result of adjusting them to my body type.

The prosthetic arms have a silver sheen. They look like real metal, but they’re plastic.

,Ehhhh!?”

,Whoa, what’s that?”

,OMG, what is that?”

,Wow, that’s so cool. It looks like a robot arm.”

,Is that a prosthetic arm?”

,Is there a character with prosthetic arms like that?”

There are people who have cosplayed Nobel, but no one has done a perfect cosplay.

The hard part is the prosthetic arms and the arm problem.

Basically, it’s not attached to a person like an arm, but floating in the air, and Nobel is a character without arms.

So usually, the prosthetic arms are photoshopped, and the arms are either moved back as much as possible in real life or erased with Photoshop.

But the prosthetic arms I brought are exactly like Nobel’s prosthetic arms. They’re actually floating prosthetic arms.

They’re silent and can float in the air. How could I get something like this in just two weeks?

The reason is my parents.

Anna heard that I wanted to cosplay and told my parents, and my parents heard that and whipped up the prosthetic arms and sent them to me.

My parents told me not to worry about anything and to tell them anything I wanted to do. I was even taken aback by their passion.

I mean, they were really thinking of making Nobel’s prosthetic arms for combat. So I had to tell them that this was for cosplay and that they didn’t need to go overboard.

I was so dumbfounded when I first saw this. I guess it’s because my parents created the virtual world, but they whipped something like this up in just two weeks… I don’t know how smart my parents are.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi turned on the two Nobel prosthetic arms in the two suitcases, and when they linked to the choker on my neck, the two prosthetic arms floated in the air and naturally positioned themselves around me.

,It’s floating in the air…!?”

,Wow….”

,Crazy.”

,No, what is that…?”

,Eek…”

,Isn’t that Brown Dust character Nobel’s prosthetic arms…? OMG.”

Prosthetic arms floating like drones.

They’re decorative prosthetic arms made of plastic, so they’re light and make almost no noise when they float in the air. Plus, they’re programmed to float neatly around me and automatically avoid objects around them.

,Arang-ah, how is it?”

,Yeah. Seems fine.”

,Great. Then let’s change.”

Bae-tteopgae-ssi took out Nobel’s clothes from a normal suitcase. Of course, these clothes were also made with the help of my parents.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi passed it on to Anna, and Anna passed it on to my parents. When they heard that I wanted to do something, my parents went crazy and told me not to worry about money and whipped it up for me.

So, it’s not just cosplay clothes, but clothes that look like designer clothes, from the texture to everything else.

It was made to fit my body size, so the fit is perfect.

I took off the clothes I was wearing.

,Heok.”

,Hic.”

,Oh my…”

,Ah……..”

A collective gasp from around me. The women who weren’t paying attention to me all started looking at me.

Actually, I don’t really care about this kind of attention anymore.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi, who has now mastered my prosthetic arms and legs, easily released my prosthetic arm.

I was planning on releasing it here anyway, so my prosthetic arm fell off with a few clicks.

Then she started putting on Nobel’s clothes.

Nobel’s outfit is a pure white off-the-shoulder dress with a large skirt like a wedding dress and armor designs in between, which is a characteristic of Nobel’s outfit.

Bae-tteopgae-ssi spun around me a few times, and the clothes were quickly put on.

Even though it seemed like everything was on, Bae-tteopgae-ssi checked again to see if anything was missing and even did some simple makeup.

,Arang-ah, how is it? Is anything uncomfortable?”

I moved my body around to see if there were any parts that were catching or uncomfortable, but it was perfect because the clothes were made to fit my size.

,Yeah. Nothing.”

,Great. Then let’s pack up and go. Hayan-eonni will be waiting.”

,Yeah. Oh, before that. Eonni, let’s take a picture together.”

I walked closer to the woman who gave me the spot earlier and said.

,U-Uh! Yeah!”

The woman also finished preparing her cosplay while I was getting ready.

,Eonni, you’re pretty.”

,Thank you. Arang-ah, you’re super pretty too. But I think people might be a little surprised…”

The woman’s gaze went to my neatly cut-off arm.

I smiled and nodded. It’s surprising enough. Is there anyone who has done Nobel cosplay this perfectly?

Of course, my chest and body aren’t like Nobel’s, but if I say it’s a younger version of Nobel, I’m confident that everyone will be convinced that I’ve done a perfect cosplay.

And the woman in front of me is also doing a pretty high-quality cosplay.

The cosplay this woman prepared was Leore’s 4th World Administrator, Dootan.

Since she knows me, she’s a user who plays Leore, so she must have prepared a Leore-related cosplay.

I was walking carefully because there were a lot of people around, but it felt like it was hard to balance without the prosthetic arm.

Then I ended up stepping on something that looked like clothes on the floor.

I didn’t have an arm to balance with or an arm to grab the floor with, so I lost my balance forward.

,Ah-!”

,Are you okay!?”

,Arang-ah, are you okay!?”

I almost fell forward, but luckily Bae-tteopgae-ssi was in front of me, so I didn’t fall to the floor.

,Phew.”

I stroked my surprised chest with my non-existent arm.

,Take my hand and let’s go out together…oh…”

The woman reached out her hand to me, then stopped.

,No, link arms with me, no! Grab my waist, no. Let’s go out together, uh… uh…”

The woman reached out her hand, then her elbow, then her waist, and then she started to break down.
