"Since everything is ready, everyone, let's get ready to take pictures."
Akira looked at Marin, who was running around the venue, and couldn't help but remind her.
"Kitagawa-san, remember to be careful with your clothes when you're running around."
"Eh?"
"It should be fine."
Marin immediately panicked and started checking the cosplay outfit she was wearing, picking up the black gauze skirt and examining it carefully, only then discovering a scuff mark on it.
"Wuwuwu, it seems I snagged it somewhere, wuwuwu."
Marin held her skirt, looking on the verge of tears.
"Although it won't affect this shoot, if Kitagawa-san minds, I can help mend it when we get back."
Wakana offered to help.
"Thank you so much, Gojo-kun."
Marin couldn't help but want to gently tap Wakana's arm a few times to show her happiness.
But then she remembered her little skirt with the scuff mark, and a crestfallen expression couldn't help but appear on her face.
"Kitagawa-san."
"Let's get ready for the shoot."
Wakana stood in front of Marin and reminded her.
Although Kitagawa-san's actions didn't delay the shooting progress, Black Mountain Terrier's cosplay outfit seemed a bit more revealing than Nikaido Shion's clothes. The lower half of the outfit was even modified from a swimsuit provided by Kitagawa-san, so when Marin was sadly holding her black gauze skirt, the clothes Kitagawa-san was wearing on her lower body became even more apparent in front of Wakana.
Although he tried his best to control his gaze from looking at Kitagawa-san, due to Kitagawa-san's charm, he still couldn't quite control himself.
He secretly glanced at Akira beside him, who didn't seem to be looking here at all. Akira-kun's attention seemed to be entirely on Inui-san and Inui-san's younger sister.
Akira-kun is really reliable, and much more honest than himself.
If Akira-kun saw a scene like this, he probably wouldn't hesitate to directly admonish Kitagawa-san...
Akira, on the other hand, was discussing shooting techniques with Shinju, thinking about how to make Sajuna look even better and more adorable in the photos.
"Shinju, won't a scene like this appear too dark?"
"It does a bit, but photos taken with a camera will always require post-processing, so I don't think the lighting of the scene is very important for now."
Shinju scanned the surroundings. The studio was dim, and a light drizzle was falling outside the window, making the atmosphere feel a bit oppressive.
"I don't think today's lighting is that bad. Rather, it's just cooled down perfectly, and the gloomy atmosphere and dim light are more in line with the original work's tone, aren't they?"
Sajuna, however, had a different perspective.
"Mmm, Older Sister is right."
Shinju nodded. With her male makeup, she showed a very maternal smile and continued speaking.
"However, if Akira-kun has higher demands for photography, you can buy more photography accessories later, like a reflector or something."
"Because I've always been helping Older Sister take photos, the things I use are all from Dad's camera, and I don't have money to buy any camera accessories."
"If Akira-kun wants to take even better pictures of Older Sister, you can buy more shooting equipment. I feel like the post-processing will look even better then."
After Shinju finished speaking, she observed Akira's reaction, not knowing what she was hoping for in her heart.
Akira, with a helpless expression, gently stroked Shinju's hair, then slowly tidied her messed-up wig back into place, his tone filled with helplessness and doting.
"Shinju, I've already told you, you'll always be Sajuna's younger sister."
"So there's no need to try and exclude yourself when talking about Older Sister's matters."
"Surely, as Sajuna's younger sister, Shinju should have the most sense of security, shouldn't she?"
Sajuna also looked worried, embracing Shinju and saying, "I love Shinju the most."
"Because I really want Older Sister to be happy."
"So I can't help but want Akira-kun to spend more time with Older Sister."
Shinju quickly explained, saying that it just happened to come up when talking about photography, and she just went with it and said a bit more.
"Shinju's companionship is also very important."
"It's good that Shinju isn't always thinking about things like that."
Akira stroked Shinju's head again, comforting her, and then Sajuna pulled Shinju aside to discuss the order of the photos.
"Wakana, are you and Kitagawa-san ready over there?"
Akira walked over and indeed saw Marin with flushed cheeks pressing down her skirt, while Wakana stood beside her, neither of them daring to look at the other's expression.
Marin was clearly shy just now.
What did Wakana say to make the gyaru Kitagawa so shy!
Akira was surprised for a moment, but then he remembered Kitagawa's high-offense, low-defense attribute, and suddenly he didn't think Wakana had said anything outrageous.
"Mmm, we're ready."
Wakana quickly replied, then followed Akira towards the chosen spot. Kitagawa, no longer lively, quietly followed behind Wakana.
She really looks like a virtuous wife...
If you ignore the cosplay outfit she's wearing.
"Aki-Kun, come on! Shinju and I are both ready!"
Sajuna saw that Akira had already brought Wakana and the others over, and quickly called out to Akira.
"So, should we take a joint photo of Little Shion and Black Mountain Terrier first?"
"Since Marin-nee is also here, let's take that photo first."
Shinju nodded, agreeing.
"Eh, are we going to take a photo of me and Juju-sama first?"
Marin had a surprised expression. She had thought she would have to wait until Juju-sama finished her shoot before she could take a joint photo with Juju-sama. She didn't expect to take a joint photo right away?
That's really...
Too happy!
"I'm coming! Juju-sama!"
"You don't need to be so excited!"
Sajuna complained. She had been incredibly shy when she arrived, but when it came to taking photos, she reverted to her true self.
Sajuna exhaled. Speaking of which, it really was the first time so many people were taking cosplay photos together. Logically, she should be worried about whether the shoot would go smoothly.
Thinking of this, Sajuna couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Akira, who was wearing Shokuya Oni-san's cosplay outfit. Looking at the smile on his face, her heart couldn't help but settle down.
Aki-Kun is here. With Aki-Kun, there definitely won't be any problems.
