A faint light flickered, and the gift box vanished in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the blonde girl's empty right hand, Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously:
"A skill?"
"Hahahaha." Kitagawa Marin put her hands on her hips, her smile bright and dazzling, not hiding her joy at all, "That's right, from now on, I'm a person with skills too!"
"You're laughing too loudly." Amamiya Natsuki complained, "The crows on the tree have been scared away by you."
"When you're happy, you should laugh!" Kitagawa Marin said, while showing off the skill she had obtained, her smile as bright as sunshine, "Look, look, it's even a gold-tier skill!"
Amamiya Natsuki focused his gaze.
[Ability: Dress-Up Doll]
[Quality: Gold]
[Attribute: Role-Playing. You can activate corresponding role-playing by changing outfits. Please note that role-playing has a compatibility requirement. Only by meeting the minimum compatibility can you unlock some attributes and abilities of the Roleplay character. The higher the compatibility, the higher the ability bonus.]
[Note: Get out of the way, I'm transforming!]
"Role-playing…" Kitagawa Marin crossed her arms over her chest, her smile gradually fading, and she couldn't help but mutter, "I'm remembering those terrible memories from last night again."
"Wrong." Amamiya Natsuki corrected her, "After midnight, it's the next day, so to be precise, we played the game today."
"Whatever." Kitagawa Marin blinked, her tone a bit hazy, "What exactly does this skill mean? I don't quite understand."
Amamiya Natsuki pondered:
"Probably a dress-up coser."
"I see." Kitagawa Marin suddenly understood, and quickly started brainstorming, "If it's cosplaying, can I play characters from games and anime?"
"From the skill description, it should be fine." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "But there's a prerequisite: you need to meet the compatibility requirement."
"Eh, how about I cosplay Shizuku?"
Kitagawa Marin's eyes sparkled, her face full of anticipation.
Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but say:
"With so many characters you can cosplay, you choose a [CENSORED] young lady from an R-rated eroge?"
"But Shizuku is the cutest in the world." Kitagawa Marin lifted her chin, clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes shining, "I wanted to cosplay Shizuku before, but the clothes were so expensive, so I've been saving money. Now it's perfect."
The young lady Kuroe Shizuku in the game is a complete perverted girl, with only ordinary physical abilities. In terms of abilities, she probably only has the masochistic attribute. She has no value for role-playing at all!
Amamiya Natsuki intertwined his fingers and said:
"You can play Nyarlathotep."
Kitagawa tilted her head: "Nyarko?"
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Or play Cthulhu and give out candy to others."
"Who is Cthulhu? He sounds super dangerous. Playing that kind of character would break me!"
"…"
"Natsuki, quickly lock the door, let's go out together." Kitagawa Marin hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm, her tone expectant, "Let's go verify the effect of the role-playing ability."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Aren't you going to do your homework?"
"I'll stay up late and do it tonight." Kitagawa Marin raised her chin, her pretty face flushed with excitement, "I can't, I really can't hold back. If I wait until tomorrow afternoon, I'll break down."
"When you learn a skill, if you don't use it immediately, it's like a long-awaited package finally arriving. No human can resist opening it, right?"
Thinking carefully.
It actually made a lot of sense.
If it were him, he probably couldn't resist either.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Where are you planning to go?"
"Akihabara, I guess." Kitagawa Marin blinked, "That's where most cosplay stores are, and we can try on clothes. We can take our time trying them on."
"…"
After locking the door, Amamiya Natsuki and Kitagawa Marin walked together towards the Train Station.
"Wow, the sky is so blue."
The breeze was gentle.
The girl's voice was clear and bright in the wind.
It was already May, and the afternoon sun was starting to get hot. There were few pedestrians on the street. Kitagawa Marin pointed to the sky: "That white cloud looks like a sheep, so cute."
Amamiya Natsuki looked up, only feeling the sunlight was a bit dazzling.
The clouds were just ordinary clouds, the sky was just an ordinary sky, and it was a bit sunny.
Then he looked at Kitagawa, who had her hands behind her back, her steps light, like a fawn in the woods. Clearly, she was in a good mood.
The next second.
The blonde girl continued: "I really want to eat it in one bite."
"Hm?"
Amamiya Natsuki had question marks hovering over his head.
One second she was saying he was cute, the next she wanted to eat him; young lady, something is wrong with you!
They arrived at the Train Station.
After a short wait, a train slowly pulled in.
The two walked onto the train. There weren't many passengers in the afternoon, it was the time of day with the fewest passengers, so they walked to a corner and sat down.
A hand suddenly reached out and naturally took Amamiya Natsuki's right hand.
"What are you doing?"
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the golden-haired girl.
Kitagawa Marin raised her hand to cover her mouth, leaning closer, her sweet scent wafting over as she whispered into his ear: "Natsuki, try it, can you Copy and Paste this ability?"
The girl's breath was warm and sweet, making his ears tingle slightly.
Amamiya Natsuki carefully sensed it; the skill could be Copy and Paste:
"No problem."
"Copy and Paste the ability," Kitagawa Marin didn't let go of his hand. "Later, when we get to Akihabara, we'll try out the role-playing together."
"Alright."
Amamiya Natsuki was indeed very interested in this ability.
What is compatibility?
For role-playing, what aspects need to be portrayed? Besides clothing, are there any restrictions on behavior and demeanor?
After a successful portrayal, what are the upper and lower limits of the attributes and abilities gained from the role?
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.
Learning a skill and mastering a skill are two different concepts.
Because his right hand was held by Kitagawa, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't play with his phone, so his attention naturally fell on the girl's soft hand.
Her skin was snow-white.
Her fingers were long and slender.
Her nails were also very long, embedded with tiny diamonds, unashamedly displaying her gyaru aesthetic.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at them, and a sudden impulse arose in his heart.
Such beautiful nails, he really wanted to clip them.
"What are you looking at?"
Kitagawa Marin asked softly.
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously: "Clipping the elementary school student's claws."
"..."
The journey was silent.
"Akihabara, here we come."
Amamiya Natsuki and Kitagawa stepped off the train, and directly in front of them was Akihabara Electric Town.
As the most renowned anime and manga street in the world, as soon as he got off the train, Amamiya Natsuki saw a cosplayer walk past him.
Blue and silver armor, long golden hair, and a cowlick swaying in the wind on her head—it was King Saber. Unfortunately, what she held in her hand wasn't Excalibur, but yakisoba bread.
"King is super cool, I can't take it, I love her so much." Kitagawa Marin clasped her hands behind her back, looking up. "What do you think if I cosplay Saber?"
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze was subtle: "If you think about it carefully, you two do have one very big similarity."
"Huh, what is it?"
"Both are very big eaters."
