Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone became ecstatic when they saw Zhang Xiaotong appear in the same frame as Liu Zilang who was in his Haruka Kasugano costume. The bullet screen was flooded with comments and many people took screenshots.
Liu Zilang began to feel a little awkward when he saw this. His silly disciple Misaka Mikoto was a little oblivious toward the situation at times.
She made a 'peace sign' with her hand while looking at the camera with Liu Zilang. Afterward, she told Zhang Xiaotong whose head was still lowered. "Xiaotong, come here! Let's take a family portrait!"
'Family portrait?'
Black anime lines appeared on Liu Zilang's face.
'Don't just use vocabulary that you learned from somewhere else!'
Everyone in the live stream channel became angry when they heard that. They blasted messages saying that Liu Zilang was inhuman!
"Boo hoo hoo! Even my Menhera-chan has fallen into your dirty hands!"
"Haruka Kasugano is human trash! Having his sister isn't enough, he wants my Menhera-chan too!"
"Dirty thief Vic, I'll remember this! You shall suffer my revenge!"
"…"
After the photo, Zhang Xiaotong and Misaka Mikoto left the scene.
Liu Zilang finished the photo-taking session with the last of his fans, and they waved each other goodbye.
The other cosplayers from the Jianghai U Cos Club also had fans looking to take selfies with them after they got off the stage. However they had fewer fans than Liu Zilang, and they had already retired to their changing rooms.
It was past noon, and Liu Zilang was feeling hungry. It was about time he met up with the girls to go home.
Of course, he had to change out of his costume before that.
Everyone was almost done changing in the backstage area of the Cosplay Section. Liu Zilang waved to the people and headed in.
He saw Qin Xuanxuan sitting, still in her Pikachu suit. Her head was lowered, and she was looking at her smartphone.
"Aren't you going to change, Senior Qin?" Liu Zilang asked reflexively.
Qin Xuanxuan's head jerked upward when she heard his familiar voice. Her eyes were full of murderous intent, like a vengeful husky!
'Oh sh*t!' Liu Zilang cursed himself for letting his tongue slip. 'Of all the things he could have said!'
Liu Zilang watched as Qian Xuanxuan got up on her feet. He urgently reminded her, "Senior Qin! Be careful not to split again!"
Qin Xuanxuan felt a breeze down under. She stood stiffly on the spot.
She took a deep breath and stared straight at Liu Zilang. "You already know, right?" she asked abruptly.
"What do I know?" Liu Zilang was not going to admit he knew.
"Rip!" Qin Xuanxuan said.
"Rip what?" Liu Zilang asked doubtfully.
"Rip!" Qin Xuanxuan repeated, this time stressing the word.
"What rip?" Liu Zilang remained oblivious.
Qin Xuanxuan: …
Qin Xuanxuan was at a loss for a response as she looked at the silly face of her junior.
She was going to give Liu Zilang another kick so that he would learn his lesson. However, just then, two makeup helpers came in from the entrance. They were going to help Liu Zilang change.
"Ah, Senior Qin! You haven't changed yet?" one of the girls asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, we're going to have lunch together soon," the other girl added.
"I… I…" Qin Xuanxuan was at a loss for words.
"It's been cold recently and Senior Qin isn't feeling well. She'll be warmer in the suit," Liu Zilang chimed in.
"Haha, um, it's been rather cold these days…" Qin Xuanxuan nodded urgently and crossed her arms in front of her. Within the suit, she was glaring at Liu Zilang.
"Is it cold? I thought it was pretty warm today." One of the girls fanned herself with her hand.
"Hee hee, I don't believe you!" The other girl suddenly smiled.
'Oh no!
'Is my cover blown?'
Qin Xuanxuan did not feel cold down there anymore.
Instead, her heart went cold…
The girl then continued, "I think Senior Qin loves Pikachu so much that she doesn't want to take the suit off."
"Oh, that's why!" The other girl nodded in agreement and said, "You're a hardcore Pikachu fan! Every time we make an appearance, you always go as Pikachu. The total opposite of me, I can't stay loyal to one character."
Then, as the girls helped Liu Zilang out of his costume, they continued discussing their interests. They talked all the way from Doraemon when they were younger, up to Optimus Prime when they grew up…
'Ah, women!'
Qin Xuanxuan let out a sigh of relief. She stole a glance at Liu Zilang again before waddling toward the exit in her Pikachu suit.
Liu Zilang shared a moment of silence for her.
'This college senior is too headstrong.'
He could imagine the scene at Jianghai U Cos Club's lunch gathering when a huge Pikachu entered the restaurant with a group of people.
The staff might end up giving her a stack of flyers to be distributed outside…
…
Liu Zilang, Zhang Xiaotong, and Misaka Mikoto returned home by cab. The housekeeping aunty had already prepared lunch for them, and the three tucked in after reaching home.
Initially, Liu Zilang was going to ask Misaka Mikoto if she fancied some after-meal entertainment after lunch.
However, Gao Yunyang called right at that moment. Liu Zilang could guess his intentions the moment he saw his name pop up on his smartphone screen.
His guess turned out to be right.
Over the phone, Gao Yunyang briefed him about the progress of setting up the new team. The Hua Xia region PCPI tournament that fed into the international PGI tournament was to be held at the end of the month. The matter of setting up the new team was an important item on their agenda.
After that, they could submit information about the team and the players to the tournament organizers.
Gao Yunyang had obtained verbal confirmation in regards to setting up a sub-team in Se7en. The next item on their agenda was to visit them personally to discuss about the players' contracts.
After hanging up the call, Liu Zilang left his room. At that time, he happened to see Misaka Mikoto on the sofa. She was slumping on it, and she was wriggling her two legs while blowing bubbles.
The corner of Liu Zilang's eyelid twitched when he saw it!
After returning from BML, the silly disciple had reverted from Mo Xiaobei back to Lin Daiyu.
Liu Zilang walked past the sofa. Then, while he was changing into a pair of shoes at the front door, Misaka Mikoto lifted her head and asked, "Shifu, are you going out?"
"Yup, I've got something on," Liu Zilang replied.
After putting on his shoes, Liu Zilang's hand was on the doorknob when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Mikoto, your contract with your previous team was terminated?"
"Yup." Reminded of the sad incident, Misaka Mikoto put on a sad face.
"Totally terminated?" Liu Zilang asked again.
Misaka Mikoto was shocked. She nodded, feeling resentment in her heart.
'Shifu is such a meanie!
'Why is he rubbing salt in my wound?'
Liu Zilang snapped his fingers and then smiled. "In that case, stop moping around at home. Come follow me."
"Where… where to?" Misaka Mikoto blinked.
"To the club." Liu Zilang smiled at her. "There's an opportunity, and it's up to you to grab it."
