"It's Juju-sama!"
Kitagawa Marin released the girl from her embrace, her pretty face flushed crimson with excitement, "Juju-sama is a super mysterious person, and every character she cosplays is super cute!"
"Look, look, I've collected every photo."
Kitagawa Marin took out her phone, found the photos, and shared them with Amamiya Natsuki.
"Very cute, indeed." Amamiya Natsuki looked curiously at the phone, then at the pink-haired girl, "How come they feel like two different people?"
"Cosplay definitely requires makeup, and photos taken from different angles can sometimes make people look completely different." Kitagawa Marin put away her phone and asked curiously, "By the way, why does Juju-sama never participate in conventions or reply to messages from others?"
"I only cosplay as a hobby." Suddenly encountering her fan, Juju-sama was clearly a bit embarrassed, and slightly turned her small face away, "I don't plan to let it intersect with my daily life. If I'm discovered, it'll definitely be troublesome."
"Got it." Kitagawa Marin raised her hand to cover her pink lips, "I'll definitely keep it a secret, I absolutely won't tell anyone."
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"Talking in your sleep doesn't count."
Juju-sama: "..."
After talking for a while, seeing Juju-sama hesitate to speak, Kitagawa Marin quickly brought up the method of 'Evil Spirit Banishing'.
"...'Evil Spirit Banishing' seems to be very rare; no one else has drawn it out yet."
"I see."
The pink-haired girl looked up at Amamiya Natsuki, took a deep breath, and said, "Please come to my house."
Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly:
"Meeting for the first time and asking a boy to come home, isn't that very dangerous?"
"It's okay." Juju-sama bit her lower lip, "I trust Natsuki-kun and Kitagawa Marin."
"You misunderstood." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "I'm worried about my own safety."
"Eh?"
Amamiya Natsuki said sternly:
"When a boy is out, he must protect himself. It would be terrible if he were tricked and locked up by an evil girl."
Juju-sama: "..."
[The 'scum hero' role-play degree has increased. Current synchronization rate 40%]
Verification successful.
To increase the synchronization rate, one must role-play in front of others; acting in front of a mirror is useless.
"Juju-sama, you don't have to worry, you don't need to go to your house." Kitagawa Marin said gently, "Let Natsuki Copy and Paste 'Evil Spirit Banishing' to you, and you can exorcise the Evil Spirit by yourself..."
Understanding the 'Copy and Paste' ability, the pink-haired girl's eyes quickly brightened, and she looked expectantly at Amamiya Natsuki.
"Wait a moment." Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly, "I'll change my clothes, then I'll Copy and Paste the ability to you."
What era is this now?
The era of big data.
It's about resource sharing and the sharing economy.
For the Copy and Paste skill to be most effective, naturally, the more people who know about it, the better. Hiding it secretly by oneself is meaningless.
Currently, the danger mainly comes from Evil Spirits and monsters in the horror game, not human players.
"Give me your hand."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pink-haired girl.
"Mm."
Juju-sama took a deep breath and placed her small hand into Amamiya Natsuki's palm.
Just holding hands, it's perfectly fine. As long as she can exorcise the Evil Spirit on her mother, she would even trade her innocence.
Kitagawa Marin finished explaining the precautions, then didn't idle, and started chatting with Juju-sama about the cosplay world.
Because she was preoccupied, the pink-haired girl was clearly a bit distracted.
"Oh, right." Kitagawa Marin slapped her forehead, "Natsuki and I came over because we gained a new skill, 'Role-Play'..."
The blonde girl explained her ability, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Juju-sama's cosplays are all perfect recreations, especially the Magical Girl who fell into darkness last time. If you use role-play, the compatibility must be super high, right?"
Juju-sama's heart pounded.
The importance of skills goes without saying; if one can use the abilities of their role-play character, the chances of survival will surely increase greatly.
"And there's Chika-chan, Hanamori, and Kaguya-san," Kitagawa Marin said excitedly, "Maybe we can form a Magical Girl Rainbow Team."
What is a Magical Girl Team?
Are you guys debuting?!
"Juju-sama, would you like to try role-playing?" Kitagawa Marin asked expectantly.
Amamiya Natsuki reminded her:
"You can only paste one ability at a time."
"Thank you, but not today. I'm not in the mood," Inui Sajuna shook her head and whispered, "Let's talk about it after I banish the Evil Spirit from my mother."
"..."
Five minutes later.
"It's done."
Amamiya Natsuki let go, the skill pasting was complete.
Looking at the 'Evil Spirit Banishing' skill icon that appeared on the character panel, Juju-sama bowed ninety degrees again:
"Thank you very much!"
Kitagawa Marin had already explained the skill precautions, so Amamiya Natsuki didn't waste any more words and took off the scum hero cosplay costume.
The trial period was over, and the scum hero was now washing his hands of the gold basin, withdrawing from the world.
After talking for a while longer, Juju-sama was eager to return home, so she clasped her small fists and impatiently bid farewell.
In a blink of an eye, it was evening.
The sun was setting.
Tired birds returned to their nests.
The evening breeze gently brushed by, fluttering the girl's skirt and hair.
"Hmm~~"
Kitagawa Marin clasped her hands above her head, stretching hard, as the golden sunset spilled over, dyeing the girl's golden hair into brilliant Broken Gold.
"Natsuki, I'm going home." Kitagawa Marin waved goodbye, her smile exceptionally bright, as if it brightened the dim twilight. "See you tomorrow."
Amamiya Natsuki reminded her:
"Did you forget your homework again?"
Kitagawa Marin: "..."
The two walked to the Train Station.
Amamiya Natsuki watched calmly as the golden-haired girl boarded the train and disappeared with it.
The long Golden Week finally came to an end… but unfortunately, it didn't.
Amamiya Natsuki hadn't even returned home when his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took out his phone.
He found that several girls were chatting, not in the large Player Mutual Aid Group, but in a private group with only Kaguya and a few others.
Fujiwara Chika: "Marin-chan's new skill sounds amazing."
Kitagawa Marin: "Heh heh heh~ I even secretly took several photos this afternoon."
Image.jpg.
Kitagawa Marin was speechless to see that it was a photo of herself cosplaying as the scum hero.
Fujiwara Chika: "Hmm… Although I can't quite put my finger on it, I feel like Natsuki-kun's hero is a bit strange."
Hanamori: "I think it's very suitable."
Shinomiya Kaguya also sent a message, but it was a private chat: "Kitagawa's skill, is it related to flipping a coin?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "You could say that."
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip, quickly making up her mind.
It's decided!
I'm going to flip too!
Everyone else has skills now, but she doesn't, which feels too humiliating no matter how she thinks about it!
At six o'clock in the evening, Kitagawa Marin sent a message:
"Just got home, everything's fine, starting homework right away."
Six twenty-eight.
Not just the pink-haired Juju-sama: "The Evil Spirit on my mother really was banished! Thank you very much!"
Nine o'clock at night.
Spy Maid Hayasaka Ai: "...I'm sorry, Ojou-sama, I can't hold back anymore."
