Liu Zilang was left puzzled after their short conversation.
Qin Xuanxuan had told him that their club was short of one cosplayer and asked if he was interested to help them out.
Liu Zilang felt like there was some conspiracy going on behind the scenes. How could there always have been a cosplay vacancy for him every time they met?
If it was before, he might have found some excuse to politely refuse.
The problem was that Qin Xuanxuan had helped him in his bet with his channel followers earlier. It would have been rude of him not to return the favor.
That was why he accepted Qin Xuanxuan's invitation.
The viewers in the live stream channel became restless when they found out that Liu Zilang was going to cosplay!
They were more excited about this than seeing Zhang Xiaotong cosplay as Platelet!
Many character suggestions appeared on the bullet screen such as 'Rem' or 'Kurumi Tokisaki'. 'Iri' once again made another appearance…
Liu Zilang's interest piqued when he looked at the bullet screen as he walked.
He had not heard of most of those characters before. Until 'Iri' appeared again, and he remembered that he had seen the same name when he mentioned earlier that Zhang Xiaotong and Misaka Mikoto were cosplaying.
'Dammit!
'Don't tell me they're all female characters?
'No wonder they all sound weird!'
Liu Zilang saw how excited the bullet screen was and cursed in his heart.
'What a bunch of perverts!'
…
It was difficult to locate a person in the bustle of the arena.
However, a Pikachu suit was very eye-catching.
It was hard to miss a mass of bright yellow amid the crowd.
As he got closer, Qin Xuanxuan removed the headpiece of her Pikachu suit. She smiled as she greeted Liu Zilang, "Hey! I wasn't expecting you so fast. Thanks for coming!"
She was the sunny, outgoing type. On the back of her head was a ponytail. She looked energetic.
With a stupidly cute Pikachu costume, she was a pleasure to interact with.
"Don't mention it. You helped me earlier, didn't you?" Liu Zilang smiled and waved his hands.
The viewers in the live stream channel were speechless when they heard their conversation, and they recalled the shame of losing the bet.
"I knew it! There must be something fishy going on between that b*stard Vic and the Pikachu!"
"What an animal, flirting with his senior!"
"By the way, his senior's Pikachu suit is just so cute. Why don't I have a senior like that?"
"I don't understand the existence of college seniors. I'm defenseless against them!"
"Defenseless against seniors +1!"
"The guy above me, you'll first have to find a college senior willing to talk to you."
"Oof! Right in the gut!"
"…"
While the viewers in the live stream channel discussed amongst themselves excitedly, Liu Zilang and Qin Xuanxuan made their way to the changing area of the Cosplay Section.
He had cosplayed as Kumamon the last time. He knew that it was the easiest costume with no need for make-up or wigs or contact lenses…
The weather was cool that day, and the full-body Kumamon costume was perfect. He could even give Zhang Xiaotong a surprise in it later.
Thinking of that, Liu Zilang took the initiative.
"Senior Qin, how about I cosplay as Kumamon, just like last time?"
"Kumamon?" It was the first time Qin Xuanxuan had received such a weird request. Usually, cosplayers wanted to be dressed in something that let them flaunt their bodies. Who would want to go around in a full-body mascot costume?
Furthermore, Kumamon was not as cute and attractive as Pikachu. It was a costume that might even attract punches…
"Heheh, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Qin Xuanxuan shook her head. "The costume is too bulky, we didn't bring it along with us."
She then added, "However, we still have the costumes of Tatsuya Shiba, Kyousuke Kosaka, and Haruka Kasugano. We have their props, too."
She looked at Liu Zilang from head to toe and then nodded at him before smiling. "I think any of those three would fit you very well."
'Fit me very well?'
Liu Zilang posed with a finger and a thumb rested on his chin, he looked like Detective Conan.
"Are those three… outstandingly handsome guys?" he ventured.
Everyone in the changing area giggled when they overheard Liu Zilang's question!
Meanwhile, the viewers in his live stream channel laughed out loud like pigs squealing!
"Aren't those characters the three biggest sis-cons in the two-dimensional world?"
"Wow! Is this the real life?"
"No wonder Miss Senior said she couldn't find anyone else more suitable than Vic!"
"Bahaha! She's a wicked one!"
"Poor Vic, he thinks that he's handsome."
"Shh, not so loud! Don't let him hear you!"
"…"
Liu Zilang was listening attentively to Qin Xuanxuan's explanation of the characteristics of the characters and did not pay attention to the bullet screen on his smartphone.
Tatsuya Shiba had a costume with a slight fantasy look. He would have to be in a long coat while holding some props.
The costumes of Kyousuke Kosaka and Haruka Kasugano were simpler and more down to earth. He only needed to dress up in a high school uniform and put on some simple makeup.
After the explanation, Qin Xuanxuan looked at Liu Zilang and waited for his decision.
Liu Zilang did not seek help from the almighty bullet screen. He had tricked them with the bet earlier and asking for help from them was like walking right into their trap.
Thus, Liu Zilang relied on his intuition.
'Haruka Kasugano…
'That name sounds familiar.
'It shouldn't be a trap.'
Upon reaching a conclusion, Liu Zilang smiled confidently and told Qin Xuanxuan, "Let's do Haruka Kasugano then. I like simple ones."
Before Qin Xuanxuan could say anything, the helpers behind Liu Zilang in the changing area turned to cast a weird look at him.
Qin Xuanxuan smiled and snapped her fingers.
Two girls helping out with makeup quickly came over and looked at Liu Zilang. They had intriguing smiles on their faces.
(,,#ﾟДﾟ)!
'What kind of expression is that?
'Why do they look like they're going to castrate me?'
Liu Zilang felt an inexplicable sense of fear rise in his heart. He could not help but ask, "Um… Senior Qin, can I change my mind?"
"Don't worry about it, they're all about the same." Qin Xuanxuan winked at him. "Quick, go get changed. Our Cos Club is going to have a procession soon."
He heard about 'getting changed' and stopped dead in his tracks while shuddering!
He turned stiffly to look at his senior. "Changed…? I'm not crossdressing, right? Senior Qin, you didn't make me walk into a trap, right?"
"Don't worry, why would I trick you?" Qin Xuanxuan waved her hands.
The two girls also swore on their lives that there was nothing fishy about the costume. Liu Zilang, wobbling from anxiety, felt relieved and followed them in.
Next was changing into the costume and the slight makeup.
Liu Zilang might have been someone with a despicable personality and a mean mouth. However, he had attractive features and a clean face that was pleasing to look at.
His build and personality fit Haruka Kasugano's well. Hence, there was no need for much makeup.
About ten minutes later, after the setup was complete, Liu Zilang looked at himself in the mirror.
He still looked about the same. There were no major changes to his face.
However, as a whole, he felt like he was looking at someone else in the mirror.
'Cosplay is so amazing!' Liu Zilang thought as he straightened his costume while looking at the mirror.
He turned around to look at the girl in the Pikachu costume who was standing next to the door. Her arms were crossed in front of her and she was looking at him with a smiling face.
'Senior Qin is quite reliable!' he thought.
