“Eugene and Erio, since you both said you don’t know much about cosplay, I’ll give you a brief explanation first.”

Erio nodded after hearing Memori’s words.

Although she said she had no intention of joining the club, she actually listened attentively to the explanation.

“First of all, we basically do both character cosplay and scene cosplay.”

“Character cosplay and scene cosplay?”

Do Yu-jin was puzzled by the word she heard for the first time since she was born.

“Hmm, I guess it’s easier to understand if you see it with your own eyes?”

Memories called out to Tantan, who was still cooling her reddened cheeks with two cans of soda.

“Excuse me, but can you quickly prepare one character cosplay and one scene cosplay?”

“Huh? My face is so swollen right now that it’s hard to fix it?”

“Sorry, I’ll buy you some delicious cookies later, so please do me a favor.”

“Ugh, but I’ll do the characters and scenes that I like.”

“Okay, then call me when you’re done.”

Memori waved lightly at Tantan as he entered the room, then handed the two of them their devices.

“Ah, how about this scene from an anime called ‘My little sister turned into an oni, but she still bravely goes around killing oni’? It’s a huge hit this season!”

Memories said, her eyes blazing with light.

Seeing him, Do Yu-jin realized that she was also one of the members who proudly entered the cosplay club.

“Oh, yes.”

Do Yu-jin instinctively felt that she would make a long speech about it if she showed even the slightest interest, so she simply nodded in response.

“Is this a scene where they use something like a finishing move?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Isn’t it gorgeous?”

“Memory said, putting the device back into her bosom.

“And now! In that room, Tantan is preparing to cosplay this character.”

“It’s all over!”

As soon as Memories finished speaking, Tantan shouted loudly from across the room.

“Let’s go in.”

The two people who followed her into the room were surprised to see Tan-Tan inside the room.

Unlike a moment ago when she was wearing her regular school uniform, she was now standing wearing a loose outer garment with numerous butterflies printed on it over her black uniform.

But what surprised the two the most was Tantan’s face.

A black hair with purple tips instead of lime green hair that sways.

Her face, which had a strong playful expression as if she had put on makeup, had become soft and gentle, making me feel like I was seeing a completely different person than before.

“Hehe, what do you think? Isn’t it awesome?”

Well, as soon as I opened my mouth, I could tell for sure that it was the same Tan-Tan I had seen earlier.

“Ah, senior. I thought I had to do it quickly, so I just did basic makeup. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, I’d like to show you a perfect image if possible, but I feel bad about holding on to these two too much, so I can’t help it.”

Memories came in holding a camera that wouldn’t be strange at all if someone called it a cannon somewhere.

“Okay, let me explain. Character cosplay is cosplaying a character from a work of art. And scene cosplay is… … ”

Taak-

Memories gave a small signal.

“Okay, let’s go!”

Tan-tan, who had received him, skillfully picked up the sword he had on his waist, took a light stance, and swung it horizontally.

Hwaaak-!

Then, blue butterflies flew out from all over the place in time with her movements, and Do Yu-jin opened her eyes wide when she saw them.

Because the space created around Tan-Tan was very similar to what I had seen on the screen a little while ago.

“… … Scene cosplay, are you perhaps imitating the scene itself in the anime?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Memories said while showing the photos taken with the camera along with the screen of the device.

“In large-scale places, we use various tools together to perfectly implement the special moves that appear in the anime, but we are short on budget for various reasons. That’s why we work like this manually.”

Memories scratched her cheek and made a weak sound.

But Do Yu-jin, who heard him, was simply dumbfounded.

‘If that’s true, then it means that just for the sake of cosplay, they’re researching new magic and techniques every time and developing their abilities accordingly.’

In modern terms, it would be like making everything by hand, starting with fabrics and wigs, without relying on the help of a store.

Should I call it affection, obsession, or madness?

Do Yu-jin felt goosebumps rise on her skin and let out a hollow laugh.

“Then is there anything else you’re curious about?”

“Yeah, feel free to talk! I’ll listen as much as you want.”

“Um… …Thank you for your words, but I don’t think I can listen to you anymore today.”

Do Yu-jin, who was trying to distance herself from the two people who approached her with sparkling eyes, said this while using Erio as an excuse.

“I already promised to go around and see various places with her today.”

Do Yu-jin blurted out those words and praised herself for her perfect evasion.

“… … Aha!”

“That’s the situation?”

Little did he know that he had lit a new spark between the two.

Glance-

Do Yu-jin speaks calmly, and Erio glances sideways at another place.

Tantan and Memori looked at the two people with sparkling eyes, then gave each other a signal with a slightly sinister smile.

“Okay. If you have a prior engagement with a friend, you can’t hold on to them.”

“Hmm, let’s both call it a day.”

“Yes, thank you… … ”

““But!””

The moment Do Yu-jin was about to express his relief and gratitude, two people interrupted him and spoke.

“I came all the way here, so it would be a shame to just leave, right?”

“Yeah, so let’s go after trying cosplay once.”

“You suddenly want me to cosplay?”

“Yeah, ah! Don’t worry. Even though it’s cosplay, I’m only planning on doing light makeup and changing outfits.”

Tantan said, waving both hands.

And Memories accepted the words by smiling and poking the air with her finger.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to cosplay and go see an exhibition?”

“… … ”

Do Yu-jin, who heard Memori’s words, remained silent for a while before barely being able to say a word.

“But as you walk around the exhibition, your clothes might get dirty… … ”

“Oh, it’s okay! We have a lot of clothes to rot anyway.”

Do Yu-jin’s eyes filled with sadness as the words he had thrown as a change-up were easily blocked.

Seeing Do Yu-jin like that, Memori confirmed the kill.

“And a few sets of clothes would be cheap for our cute junior to get used to cosplaying.”

Do Yu-jin sighed and said, feeling that there was no more room to escape.

“You won’t be doing too flashy cosplay, right?”

“Don’t worry, he’s not that bad of a senior.”

“Well then… …I can’t help it.”

Since the atmosphere was such that they wouldn’t let her go if she didn’t accept the offer, Do Yu-jin had no choice but to nod.

“Okay! Then our newbie Tan-tan, you take care of it. I’ll take care of this kid!”

“Yes?”

“Huh?”

Erio pointed to himself and asked.

“Am I doing it too?”

As he spoke, Erio’s eyes were slightly frowning.

Even though Do Yu-jin was there, contact with other people wasn’t very enjoyable for Erio.

“Well, if you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you.”

Swish-

“But how about having some fun? If you do, it will be a good memory for both of you.”

Shudder-!

“Good memories?”

Erio’s frowning eyes opened slightly.

“Yeah, good memories. Maybe this will be the opportunity for the two of you to become closer.”

“… … Really?”

“Yeah, really!”

“… … Then I’ll give it a try.”

No, can you just let it go that easily?

While Do Yu-jin was so flustered, Memori smiled and said.

“Okay! Now that we’ve decided, let’s move quickly. Solid!”

“Yep!”

WHEEK-!

“Be comfortable, junior! I, as your senior, will lead you skillfully!”

“Ah, wait a minute… … !”

He tried to say something, but Do Yu-jin was dragged away by Tan-tan before he had a chance to say anything.

“Hmm, I thought about it from the moment I saw you, but doesn’t your hair seem too long? Junior, since it’s come to this, should I cut your hair a little?”

Do Yu-jin glanced at Tan-tan.

It was very obvious that he was so obsessed with showing off his senior’s authority that he was completely unaware of what other people were saying.

“… … Please don’t cut it too long, senior.”

“Seo, senior! Yes! I only trust this senior!”

So I was just telling him to calm down, but Tantan picked out the word “senior” like a ghost and snorted.

Creepy-!

Do Yu-jin felt her hair stand on end and her scalp scream for a split second, and soon closed her eyes.

Because I didn’t have the confidence to open my eyes and accept the change in myself.

‘Now that it’s come to this, let’s take a break.’

Do Yu-jin thought for a moment and then decided to disable the trait.

I was already in need of recovery after using up a large amount of magical power for an unexpected reason at the theater circle.

But in fact, the reason Do Yu-jin did this was to become stronger rather than to restore magic power.

The basics of beauty are looking at the face and adjusting it to fit it, but how can you hide that kind of face?

I had no idea how the hair would turn out.

‘If I see you wearing makeup, I’m sure you’ll get a basic haircut, too.’

Do Yu-jin, it may be a bit surprising, but he was the type to take care of at least a little bit of style.
