Bab 629: Celebration?
"He-Hey is that..."
"W-Wow..."
"Did he come out of hell to pick us up?"
"Wait, this isn't the time for this! Let's get his photo!"
The eyes of the female otaku shone brightly and dashed toward their dream.
While many people started to gather, Shishio had to say once again that his cosplay was so detailed, especially when he had to color his nails black. He wasn't sure what the meaning behind this action was, especially when he had to wear gloves.
However, he had to say that the cosplayer was tough.
It was in the middle of summer, and the temperature was scorching, yet they had to wear these stuffy clothes.
Even though the indoors were quite cool because of the air conditioner, the outdoors was like hell.
Yet many people still cosplayed with thick and black clothes, making him realize how amazing the determination of the cosplayer was to become the character they wanted.
"Hey Ebina, is it me, or are there so many people who are looking at us?" Yumiko felt nervous when many people's eyes were on them.
"It's not us, but him." Ebina used her chin to gesture at Shishio.
"Oh..."
What could Yumiko say?
Yumiko understood why they were all excited, but the number of people around them was so much that it made her quite nervous.
"Um, excuse me, can I take your picture?"
However, unexpectedly, she realized they were more polite than she had thought.
Shishio didn't answer and looked at Ebina.
"Sure."
Ebina smiled and said, "This is a fun part of becoming a cosplayer. Let them take your picture."
Was it really the fun part of becoming a cosplayer?
However, most of them were women, so he didn't have any reason to reject them.
"Then, please."
"Kyaaa~!"
"So handsome!"
"Ah, please look in this direction!"
"....."
He didn't even do anything, but why were they squealing like pigs?
Still, he was quite jealous of a woman since they could show such emotion.
Well, not like he wanted to show such an emotion either.
Anyway, he realized how tough it was to become a cosplayer.
Unfortunately, he didn't have patience for this type of thing.
Yumiko also didn't like her photos being taken either, especially when she didn't know what those photos would be used for.
Only Ebina seemed excited, but she also knew what they felt, so they only apologized to the people who wanted to take a photo and decided to walk, touring around the venue.
"So, is there a point why we wear those costumes?" He couldn't understand it.
"It's the feeling in your heart. Don't you feel different when you wear it?" Ebina asked.
He only rolled his eyes after hearing such an ambiguous reply.
"What do you want me to feel? Do you want me to answer that I feel a surge of power inside me? Or is the dark dragon inside me going to go berserk?"
Ebina laughed, hearing his answer, then poked his cheek cheerfully. "I wonder if you're a Chuunibyou."
"......"
His lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.
However, this response greatly interested him, and Ebina kept trying to ask him. "Hey, hey, are you Chuunibyou?"
"What's Chuunibyou?" Yumiko asked, feeling clueless.
"Yumiko, Chuunibyou is a term used by people to describe the act of middle school students who play the role of their favorite character. Haven't you seen them in middle school?"
"Role?"
Yumiko thought for a moment and said, "In my middle school, there was a girl who acted like the last mage on earth and was capable of communicating with fairies. Having lived for 400 hundred years, she also often said, "Love is everything."
"......"
Shishio and Ebina were slightly in a daze.
"What's her name?" Ebina asked curiously.
"If I am not wrong, her name should be Shinka Mibutani." Yumiko sighed and said, "It's quite wasteful for her to act like that since she is so cute."
Shishio stared at Yumiko and understood how she could handle Ebina well. If her surroundings were filled with such unique people, he also understood why she had immunity toward it.
"I wonder what she is doing now. She should be moving out of the city."
"Why don't you contact her? You have her contact number, right?"
"She deleted it." Yumiko sighed.
"Maybe, she wanted to forget her past since it was embarrassing."
"Maybe."
Yumiko nodded since if she was in Shibutani's place, she would forget her past and make a new life, considering how embarrassing it was when one realized how amazing their action was in front of others.
Even now, Shishio still blushed when he thought about what the previous Shishio Oga had done. It was quite embarrassing, but at the same time, he had to say it was quite cool.
Still, if this world was the world of fantasy, where magic was possible, and the world was quite backward, then what the previous Shishio Oga said was the coolest form of coolness.
Unfortunately, he was in the modern world, so if he said what the previous Shishio Oga said, he would be ridiculed by many people.
However, this conversation was working in his favor since they forgot about the matter if he was a Chuunibyou or not.
'But this isn't enough.'
He thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Hina-senpai."
"Hmm?"
"When are we going home?"
"Of course, when the event is over!"
Ebina said with blazing eyes as if telling him she wouldn't let him go home until the event ended.
It might be his imagination, but why did he feel this woman had been saying something misleading from time to time?
Did she plan something?
Yet the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
He didn't have much thought about Ebina, but one thing was for sure, he had to say this event was quite next.
"What do you think of this event?"
"It's good. I am happy to be here."
He didn't lie since there were many unique things in this event, and not all the things sold in this place were BL things. There were many normal things, too, since not every girl loved BL things.
"But next time, let's not wear cosplay. Honestly, it's hot."
He was alright, but when he saw Yumiko had sweat kept dripping from her body, he felt slightly distressed. Unlike before, they were walking outdoors, so the heat of the summer was particularly intense.
"Good idea. I am also tired of making cosplay."
To prepare those costumes, she cut down her sleep time and almost didn't sleep.
While the result was good, honestly, she was tired.
"But well, these costumes are good to be used on certain occasions, right?" Ebina said while staring at Shishio.
"Well..."
What could he say?
He loved cosplay.
He wondered what would happen if Yuigahama Hana wore cosplay.
He was sure that it would be amazing.
"By the way, did you not tell Yui-senpai about this?"
"......" 2x
"Did you forget?"
"......." 2x
He sighed and thought that his only best friend for Yui was Yukinoshita.
'Where are you?'
He became depressed when he thought about Yukinoshita, wondering where she was.
Yet he didn't force himself to meet her since they would meet each other soon, right after the summer vacation.
"By the way, how about we have lunch now?"
"Agree!" 2x
While they felt guilty toward Yui, there was nothing they could do, so instead of thinking about this matter, they decided to eat lunch first since they were hungry.
---
Spending time with someone you like and having fun with them would make you feel like time moved faster.
While they moved around the venue, they realized that the sky had turned orange and the event was about to end.
"I didn't expect that we would stay until the end."
Yumiko didn't have much of an expectation of this event at first, but she had to say that she had fun.
"Right?"
Ebina seemed genuinely happy when she saw Yumiko having fun. "So Yumiko, do you want—"
"No, sorry."
Yumiko cut Ebina's words without hesitation since she didn't have much interest in BL. However, she was quite interested in the doujin shoujo manga that she had read in the past. It was the story of the romance between a princess and the hero, but it somehow became the story of the romance between a princess and the demon king, which somehow made her excited.
As for Shishio, he might be too lazy to come to this event again in the future since the attention he got was so ridiculous that he wanted to stay away from it.
"Should we go back now?"
"Okay." 2x
They agreed to go back to his car, which he parked in a nearby area.
Still, Ebina really loved the convenience of bringing a car since she usually had to hold a large box filled with books she had bought. While she had gotten used to it, who would hate the convenience thing brought by the modern vehicle?
At the end of the event, they returned home without hesitation.
However, he decided to bring them to eat dinner together at a Chinese restaurant. It sold a spicy hot pot which was nice to be eaten during summer since when they ate something spicy, the pores on their bodies were opened, and they felt the wind was so cool and comfortable.
After they ate, they returned home.
He sent Yumiko first to her home and decided to send Ebina later since he hadn't gotten a reward from Ebina.
"See you."
Yumiko looked at Shishio reluctantly while saying goodbye since she knew once she went home, she could only see him after the summer vacation.
"See you later, Yumiko-senpai."
"Bye, Yumiko~!"
They waved their hands and walked away.
Yumiko didn't move from her spot and kept watching them until they disappeared. Still, she sighed and wondered what she should do.
'Should we date him together?'
Those words echoed through her brain before she shook her head, trying to dispel the evil thought in her head.
While Yumiko was in her own thoughts, Shishio drove Ebina home, but...
"Shishio."
"Hmm?"
"Do you have time tonight?"
"What's wrong?"
"How about we do a celebration? I have booked the place."
"Celebration?"
He looked at Ebina, who showed a bright smile, and wondered what this girl wanted to do.
