(Wakana Gojou) Really, is that okay?

I'll do it.

(Marin Kitagawa) Because... I wore it, so it’s normal for me to wash it myself, right?

Alright, then first...

Dissolve the fabric softener in water, brush it out, and then...

put the wig in a mesh bag and hand wash it.

Fuf, I see. It’s super easy.

I thought it would be harder.

If you rub or wring it, it will get damaged, so...

Be careful…

Be careful…

(Caw Caw Caw…) *Sound of a crow*

You just rubbed it, right?

I rubbed it a lot. Eh, eh…

Is it damaged?

I think it's okay…

(Flashback) (Kitagawa-san)

(It was very beautiful)

♬〜

Splash! Ah! S-s-s… Sorry Gojou-kun!

Ah, this much is totally fine. Uhn…

(Marin) You’ll catch a cold, so take it off.

(Gojou) Eh!?

(Marin) Just do it, hurry hurry!

(Gojou) Ah, uhh… ah… uhh… ah…

Ah, yes…

(Kaoru) Wakana, here…

Ah! Grandpa, this is…

Wakana~!

Hahaha!

So that’s how it was.

Marin-chan, I’m sorry for being loud.

Fuf, no. More importantly,

it’s great that you can walk again.

(Kaoru) Thanks.

(Gojou) Don’t overdo it.

(Gojou) It’ll be a big deal if you twist it again.

(Kaoru) Ah, I can't

keep bothering Wakana anymore. Anyway, you made it well.

It's really well-made.

It's really well-made.

It's impressive.

(Gojou-kun, will you make me a cosplay costume?)

(Ta-da! Gojou-kun! Good morning!)

(What should we buy first?)

(Gojou-kun)

(Gojou-kun, Bye-bye!)

(Inner Voice) (Time spent with Kitagawa-san...

It's over now…)

♬〜

♬〜

What cosplay should we do next?

Eh!? My favorite character...

There are 50, I can't decide!

You're not just doing one?

Nope, nope!

On the contrary, did you think we’d only do one?

I… I… Ah… But Shizuku-tan…

I want to wear her costume more…

I have so much I want to do, Seriously, if I had more bodies…

Not enough! Right?

Grrr…(Stomach grumbling)

Itadakimasu!

♬〜

Mmm! Gojou-kun, You’re really good at cooking too?

Whoa! Seriously, you’re a God!

Nah, it’s not like that…

My parents aren’t home, so I’m the one doing it…

It’s nothing special…

Really?

It’s the same for me. Eh?

My house is also just me and my dad…

but he’s currently on a business trip.

Hmm! The pumpkin is delicious!

That must be tough.

Marin-chan, Are you eating properly?

Yeah, mostly convenience stores, but on days I don’t have work,

I cook pretty often.

Look!

What is this…?

Natto, frozen fried rice, frozen karaage, and sausage rice.

Well… Marin-chan, if you’d like,

anytime, come over to my place for dinner.

Eh!? It’s okay, right Wakana?

U… Un. Is it alright?

Yes!

♬〜

Thank you for walking me, Gojou-kun.

No, thank you for staying up late for dinner with us.

Uhn, the food was delicious, and

talking to your grandpa was fun.

Kitagawa-san. Hm?

Hm?

I'll do my best with the next costume too.

I'm still inexperienced, but I'll keep relying on you.

♬〜

Y-you too.

Yes.

Then see you tomorrow.

Take care.

Ah, wow… Amazing…

(I seriously like Gojou-kun…)

Um… You need something from me?

♬〜

(Sajuna Inui) Thank you.

Um… What do you need from me?

Costume… Eh?

(Sajuna Inui) You made this, right?

Why are you asking that?

(Sajuna Inui) You can tell if you see this.

(Sajuna Inui) Today, I came to order a cosplay costume.

Eh? (Sajuna Inui) My…

Juju’s costume, can you make it for me?

“Juju”?

(She’s called Juju-san, isn’t she so cute?)

(message received)

Seriously, Juju-sama!?

Sajuna Inui Inui, a second-year at Sakuranomiya High School.

(Sajuna Inui) Hey! Don’t reveal my real name!

Juju-sama, is your name “Sajuna Inui”?

You’re so cute! I’m Marin Kitagawa, but

I seriously like Juju-sama!

I’m a huge fan! Wow! Juju-sama,

you’re a real beauty in person! You’re cute!

You’re too close!

(Gojou) Inui-san,

saw Kitagawa-san's picture, apparently.

That’s why you came to my place…

Eh, really!?

You knew about me? This makes me so happy!

Wow, it’s so exciting!

Amazing! I’m blushing.

Don’t get the wrong idea.

I’m not interested in you, but the costume made by Wakana Gojou.

I’m interested in it.

Wakana Gojou, will you make my costume?

Wakana Gojou, will you make my costume?

No, I’m not doing it as a business…

I want to see Gojou-kun’s Juju-sama costume!

Juju-sama has a lot of cosplay experience, Gojou-kun could learn a lot from it too.

I… If Kitagawa-san says so…

What costume should I make?

(Sajuna Inui) I didn’t tell you yet. I want you to make

Nikaido Shion’s Black Lily costume.

Eh, Shion-tan!?

“Shion-tan”? (Sajuna) You don’t know?

“Shion-tan”?

(Sajuna) You don’t know?

I’m sorry…

(Sajuna) Nikaido Shion appears in “Flower Princess Retsuretsu!”,

she’s a character who is the protagonist’s rival,

she transforms into Princess Lily, the magical girl, and fights against evil.

No matter how tough things get for Shion, she never gives up, and

she’s my favorite magical girl.

(Shion) Princess Lily!

I love Black Lily too!

Look, here too.

If you like her so much,

you should do it too. Nah, I won’t do it. It’s not like my style would match Shion-tan’s

cute look.

I like her, so I don’t want to ruin her image.

If I’m gonna do it, I want to be as close to it as possible.

If I were to…

I’d like to do the Neon Onee-tama cosplay. That would be nice.

“Neon Onee-tama”?

Neon Onee-tama is the one whose Flower Jewel gets cloudy

after her heartbreak, and she becomes an enemy,

which is kind of sad.

Which is kind of sad.

♬〜

(Sajuna) I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.

Eh?

(Sajuna) Just because the costume is cute,

I thought you didn’t know the original story or the characters,

and that you were the type to casually cosplay without knowing anything.

But you do watch the original works, and

you care about Shion.

Ah… Really?

Juju-sama just complimented me!

Th-that’s why you’re too close!

Juju-sama,

If you’d like, will you do a “Retsuretsu!” collab with me?

(Sajuna) Huh?

“Collab,” that’s…

(when cosplayers wear costumes from the same series and do it together.)

I’m doing the Neon Onee-tama Black Lobelia cosplay, so let’s take pictures together!

I’m not doing that. I cosplay for myself,

and I want to take good pictures. That’s why I’m

going to rent a studio. That’s awesome!

Amazing!

I want to see it! Can I go with you?

I want to see it! Can I go with you?

That’s why I said I’m not doing a collab.

I’ll split the studio fee with you!

Studio fees are pretty expensive sometimes.

If it were cheaper, I could put more money toward the costume.

Inui-san?

Ah… Ah… I… It can’t be helped.

Then, just this once, I’ll make an exception…

Really!?

Yes!

Collab with Juju-sama!

That’s great.

Wakana, when I get home, send you the Black Lily reference materials, and

my size chart. Can you exchange contact information?

Yes.

Don’t get the wrong idea.

This is just about the costume.

Misunderstanding?

You two are dating, right?

N-no! Oh… I

never dated anyone!

(Sajuna) Ah… So I was wrong.

My apologies.

Ah… My… My phone…

Fuf, hehehe.

Wow…

Gojou-kun doesn’t have a girlfriend?

Fuf…

What’s so funny about that?

Phone, phone… Um…

Do you need to watch all of this?

Yeah, I was told just picture references would be enough, but

I want to know more about the content, and choose fabric suitable for the character.

Okay, okay.

Don’t worry about the store, just do your best.

Yes.

What do you think?

(Kaoru) Which one? Which one?

(Recently, I haven’t had

much time to practice,

I’ve gotten worse, haven’t I…)

(Kaoru) Wakana…

Ah… Yes.

You’ve gotten better than before.

Eh… Really?

(Kaoru) Yeah. Before,

your lines were stiff, but

they’re a little softer now.

I… I think so.

Making Marin-chan’s costume

was good for you, wasn’t it?

Eh?

You did her makeup, didn’t you?

Yes.

If you want to make good dolls in the future,

you can’t just look at dolls.

You need to try different things

and see different things.

It’ll definitely pay off someday.

Yes.

Yeah, let’s eat soon?

Okay, I’ll get it ready soon.

♬〜

♬〜

(You two are

dating, right?)

♬〜

Hehehe…

What if we really

ended up dating?

Hehe, oh…

♬〜

(Chirp, chirp… (Bird’s chirping)

Wow… You

always write this much detail?

Yes. If you have any corrections, let me know.

No, it’s fine.

What about the wig and makeup?

Ah, that’s fine.

I have a wig, and I’ll do my own makeup.

Okay. Speaking of which,

I saw all your past pictures, but…

I understand about the double eyelid, but

your eye shape itself

is totally different from usual.

How do you do that?

Ah, that’s…

♬〜

(Sajuna) This. I use this cosplay

taping tape to change my eye shape.

(Sajuna) It can come off, and it makes it hard to blink, so

I stick it along my facial muscles.

For example, to make your eyes look bigger,

tape from above your eyes toward the middle of your forehead,

going upwards.

Look.

Wow…

(Sajuna) You can use it to lift your face, make your jawline look sharper, or

make your eyes smaller, round eyes into upturned eyes,

or vice versa, upturned eyes into downturned eyes.

You could’ve made Shizuku-tan’s makeup more downturned with that.

You could’ve made Shizuku-tan’s makeup more downturned with that.

I learn something new every day.

You do makeup too, but

you didn’t know?

It was my first time doing it.

Eh!? You’re also

making costumes for the first time?

Yes.

That’s why I have a lot of shortcomings.

That costume was your first?

That’s why the pictures of Marin Kitagawa were taken with your

phone, not a camera.

Yes.

Okay. For this collab, we’ll take pictures with our camera.

W-we?

She’s taking pictures of me, my younger sister, Shinju.

(Shinju) H-hello!

I-I’m Shinju Inui.

Shinju-chan, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

N-nice to meet you.

(Sajuna) Shinju manages my account, my cosplay name, and everything.

Is that right?

(Shinju) It’s a shame, Onee-chan,

even though you cosplay and take pictures,

you don’t show them to anyone.

But when I look at the pictures you take,

Onee-chan’s cute pictures

I wish someone could see them. That’s why…

(Sajuna) I’m doing it for my own satisfaction, so

I don’t care about other people’s opinions.

(Shinju) But, you get a lot of “likes,” and

your followers increase…

Onee-chan, you are really cute, you know?

I was happy about it.

Shinju-chan, you really love Juju-sama.

(Shinju) Yes! I love her!

Juju-sama looks happy! Whew!

(Sajuna) U-you’re noisy!

Juju-sama is cute.

It really is different from taking pictures with a phone. It’s different.

(Shinju) Yes. Cameras have higher image quality, and

there are more things you can do with them.

You can blur the background to make the subject stand out,

blur the foreground to make the picture feel soft.

Wow, that’s amazing.

Ah! I really love this picture.

It’s so cute! Juju-sama is a goddess!

This was taken in our garden.

Garden!? If you shine the light from behind,

it becomes backlighting, and the texture of the skin becomes beautiful.

It becomes backlighting, and the texture of the skin becomes beautiful.

The wig becomes translucent, and sparkles, and

the shine comes out nicely, so backlighting is recommended.

Wow, backlighting.

Um… Can you teach me about cameras sometime?

(Shinju) Eh? I also want to

learn to take better pictures.

(Shinju) Yes, of course!

Thank you!

♬〜

Cameras are really expensive if you get all the equipment.

It’s good if you have a family that owns one, like Inui-san’s family.

Ah…

Gojou-kun.

Yes?

Do you still have time?

I do…

Why don’t we go now?

(Sound of waves)

Ah… It’s lucky the convenience store sells picnic blankets.

Um… Is this for photography practice?

Not at all. It’s summer, let’s go to the beach! Kind of thing.

(Decisive!)

Let’s go in.

Eh!? You’re going to swim? Of course not.

Just my feet.

♬〜

Ah, this feels so good!

Ah.

Gojou-kun, look!

So many seaweed!

Fuf. Gojou-kun, come in the water too!

Eh? It’s amazing! Come on, come on!

Yes.

Yes.

♬〜

Whoa!

Ahahaha. You’re being too cautious.

You’ve never been to the beach?

When I was little, my parents passed away, so

I never got to come to places like this.

I see.

That’s good, I’m glad I able to come.

♬〜

So… Let’s go to lots of places together.. You and I.

Eh?

I’ll invite you to do lots of things!

So, I-I want to go, j-just the two of us…

Is that okay?

Please do!

I’m happy!

♬〜

Um… I’m thirsty, I’ll go grab some tea.

♬〜

Ah… Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing!

Ah…

Ruin? We can take pictures here?

It’s awesome! I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it…

I want to cosplay here.

I worry, I get frustrated… But even then…

I worry, I get frustrated… But even then…

I’ve realized I want to be honest about what I love.
