(Kitagawa Marin) Phew… Haah!

Ah… A short break.

Gojo-kun, what are you doing right now?

(Marin's Father) Marin.

O... Oh, Dad! (Marin's Father) Finished your homework?

Aaah… Yes.

Just up to a good stopping point. Hmm.

You haven't made much progress at all. What if you don't finish it by when the school start?

You shouldn't be playing around on your smartphone.

I... I just wanted to ask Gojo-kun about the parts I didn't understand.

Gojo-kun… the one from the other day?

Yes.

(Flashback) ⦅What? What is this?⦆

(Gojo Wakana) ⦅Ah… Th… This is, um… that…

That's not what I meant…⦆ (Marin's Father) ⦅"That's not what I meant,"

what does that mean?⦆ ⦅Well… that is, um…⦆

⦅I was having Gojo-kun make me a cosplay costume⦆

(Marin's Father) ⦅A costume?⦆ ⦅Yes. You can tell by looking at it.⦆

(Marin's Father) ⦅Really? Is that all?⦆

⦅It's really true! Please believe me!⦆

⦅Hmm…⦆

Gojo-kun's costume… isn't it super cute?

This is the very first costume he made me,

Shizuku-tan's costume, but…

Cosplay is after you finish your summer homework.

What?! (Marin's Father) Yes.

(Kokoro) Really? Yes…

(Kokoro) Until all your homework is done, cosplay is forbidden?

Yes. That's why I've been cooped up ever since Obon.

That's unbelievable in the summer!

(Sanju) So, did you finish your homework?

Not yet. I'll probably be cutting it very close.

(Kokoro) I'm sorry to bother you at a time like this.

The photos from the other day were so good,

I wanted to give them to you in person, not just the data.

Hehehe.

Wow! These are amazing!

Thank you, Kokoro-chan.

(Kokoro) Yes! I'm glad you liked them.

Haa… That was fun.

During the summer break, I wanted to go to festivals,

watch fireworks…

This is depressing.

(Sanju) You really like Gojo Wakana, don't you?

W-Why are you saying that?!

(Sanju) I can tell just by looking.

(Kokoro) Yes, it's obvious.

Embarrassing~.

(Sanju) You should just confess already.

Confess?! (Sanju) You like him, right?

(Kokoro) Being honest about your feelings is fun.

📱(Silent Mode)

Why do you call me this late?

Ah… Um… that…

I wondered what Gojo-kun was doing.

📱 I was practicing drawing faces.

Oh? I'm sorry to bother you. I'll hang up.

📱 No, it's okay. I was just about to

take a break.

Ah… That's good.

Kitagawa-san, you can't sleep?

Eh? Oh… yes.

I watched a horror movie and got scared.

📱 A horror movie? Y-Yes.

I was wondering what I'd do if someone was behind me. Ahaha…

There's no one there. Movies are just made-up stories.

I don't know. Maybe it

could really happen.

Then how about thinking about something fun?

Something fun? Yes. For example,

the next cosplay you want to do

That's right~. There are so many I want to do…

Shizuku-tan's costume from the "Humiliation Cafe".

I think it was a hakama? That's right.

The apron matching the uniform is so nice~.

The kimono pattern is luxurious with roses,

and the ribbon in the back is super cute~.

That's the thing.

Ah, and Shizuku-tan has the menu written on her thighs,

If I'm going to do it, I want to recreate it to that extent~.

That's right…

It's school already, next week~.

It's already September; I can't believe it.

I…

This year's summer…

was fun…

Yes.

♬〜

We did a lot of things together, and it was fun.

♬〜

📱 Shh… Shh… (sleeping sounds)

Shh… Shh…

♬〜

Gojo-kun…

I like you.

♬〜

After summer vacation ends,

I'll properly confess.

♬〜

The ribbon would look better a little lower, though.

Thank you. No, it's fine.

I'm sorry. During the summer vacation I couldn't help at all.

No, did your father already go back to work?

Yes. Finally freed from studying hell~!

Aaah~ I'm looking forward to Shizuku-tan's "Humiliation Cafe" costume.

It'll probably be finished tomorrow. What? That fast!

I think I've gotten a little better at making costumes.

Thank you. Then, let's wear this to the cosplay event on Sunday!

It's on Sunday? Yes.

Gojo-kun, won't you come too?

Yes! I want to go to study costumes together.

Then, the meeting place will be…

(Inner voice) ≪Going to the cosplay event with Gojo-kun!≫

≪This might be my chance to confess.≫

(Noha) Found you~! What? You were here.

(Ohzora) I got the menchi-katsu pan for Marin too.

Let's eat together. Thank you.

Ah, Gojo-kun, won't you eat with us? Ah, n-no.

I'm fine. Oh, I see.

Then, I'll LINE you later about the meeting place on Sunday. See you later!

Yes. (Noha) Need candy?

Oh, thank you very much. Let's go!

(Noha) Wait! Don't leave me behind! Wait!

♬〜

(Noha) Hey, Marin, seriously, you and Gojo-kun have been

too close lately, haven't you? Really?

(Ohsora) What are you doing on Sunday? Hmm~ It's a secret!

♬〜

(Amano) Gojo-kun! Oh, yes.

(Amano) I'm Amano Chisato, a third-year student.

Um…

By any chance, are you making cosplay costumes?

Oh… Actually, I was just in the sewing room… Sorry, I'm in a hurry. See you later!

♬〜

Wow~ This is amazing!

Look! Look! That cosplayer is so beautiful!

Gojo-kun, are you still worried about being found out?

I am worried about that…

What if I run into Amano-senpai on Monday…?

It's fine. You're doing what you love, so

just be confident.

But I don't have that courage yet…

(Woman) Excuse me, can I take a picture with you?

Yes, of course!

♬〜

*Click* (Camera shutter sound) (Woman) So cute! This is the best!

Click (Woman) This is a winner!

You're so cute. Oh~ This is wonderful!

Click (Woman) Oh~ That pose is

wonderful!

So cute! Click

(Woman) Oh, that's a good one. Oh, this is the best!

Oh~ So cute! Oh, that pose is the best!

Wow, this is a winner. So cute.

⚟(Woman) Oh, that expression is good.

Excuse me, is something wrong?

(Amane) Oh… Are you looking for something?

(Amane) I dropped my skirt's hook and it came off…

A hook? (Amane) When I tried it on at home,

it was fine, but it seems like the thread broke.

Oh, that's terrible.

Gojo-kun! What's wrong?

Oh, this cosplayer's skirt hook…

Subaru-n⁉ "Subaru-n"?

"Space Idol Cosmolovers". Commonly known as "Cosrava".

It's a game where players become managers

top idol in the universe, and you can also date them at the same time.

A nurturing simulation game! Subaru-n is

a character in that game! Hatsusegawa Subaru!

Oh, I see…

Huh? It's the real thing.

This is seriously precious. Subaru-n actually exists.

I want to protect them!

(Amane) Thank you.

Oh… Um… My name…

Um… Can I ask your cosplay name? Can I ask your cosplay name?

(Amane) My name is Himeno Amane. Even your name is too cute!

Oh… My name is Marin!

Oh, I'm the one who makes the costumes…

(Amane) You're Gojo-kun, right? Eh?

Oh! There it is!

(Amane) I'm glad. Thank you.

Oh, I have a sewing kit, so shall I fix it for you?

(Amane) Really? Then, in the changing room.

Oh, but I can't go into the women's changing room…

(Amane) The men's changing room is fine.

I'm a boy.

(Both) Eh⁉

(Amane) Don't you understand?

I'm Amano Chisato, a third-year student.

(Both) Eh~⁉

Really thank you very much.

You fixed my hook, it helped a lot.

No, I only fixed it temporarily, so

later, you should fix it properly…

(Amano) I understand. That said,

we are your juniors, so you don't have to be so formal.

Then… Thank you.

Kyun!

But I was surprised. I never thought Amano-senpai would be…

(Amano) Yesterday, I'm sorry for suddenly calling out to you.

Knowing you're a cosplay friend, I got so excited.

No, it's me who acted rudely.

I'm sorry. Um…

Amano-senpai, you're in a female costume, aren't you?

Yeah… that's right…

Are there any specific things you're careful about?

Eh? I have experience with male crossdressing makeup,

but I haven't done female crossdressing yet, so I'm interested. If there's any difference in doing that..

I want to know! I want to know! Well…

I want to know too! I want to know! I guess…

What I'm careful about is the eyes.

What I'm careful about is definitely the eyes.

To make my eyes look bigger, I create shadows under my eyes,

and to make my face look smaller, I use shading.

Shading… (Amano) Also, to make my double eyelids look

bigger, I use tape.

Tape. (Amano) And to make my mouth look smaller…

Amane-san was a nice person. Yes.

The conversation about female crossdressing makeup was interesting.

I was surprised that you hid your face outline with craft glue.

I was seriously surprised. I wanted to hear more stories

I wanted to hear more stories. Yes. But Amane-san

said she was going on a date with her girlfriend.

He seemed happy.

Is her girlfriend someone from school?

Kitagawa-san?

Gojo-kun… Yes.

Actually, after the summer vacation,

there's something I wanted to tell you…

What is it?

♬〜

I... about Gojo-kun...

Oh! Eh?

I forgot to bring my notes. What?!

I'll go get them.

Okay, I understand. So, what Kitagawa-san's want to talk about...

It's okay. It doesn't have to be today.

I'm sorry. I'll definitely hear it tomorrow.

Then.

♬〜

Tomorrow...

♬〜

I'm really sorry. If I'd done it myself...

it would have been a mess... Even the buttons...

were about to come off, so I'll reinforce them.

Thank you. It's good you, Wakana-kun, were here.

I liked this costume.

Did you buy this at a store?

(Amano) Yes. I'm not good with my hands

I couldn't make it at all myself.

If you go to a store, there are all sorts of costumes.

I was surprised the first time I went.

When you go to a cosplay specialty shop, it makes you happy somehow.

Even if you can't make your own, anyone can enjoy cosplay

it feels like they're encouraging you.

What was the reason Amano-senpai started cosplaying?

Is it because you can become your favorite character?

Of course, I like Subaru-chan, but...

the reason was different.

(Amano) Since I was little, I've been timid

and I was often teased.

But when I was in the third year of junior high, my older sister jokingly make me wear makeup

The me, who is reflected in the mirror didn't look like me

I was really surprised.

When I do cosplay, I feel like I can become someone else

Only then, I feel I could like myself.

Gradually I was able to become more confident.

Cosplay changed you.

Yes.

Oh. Snip (sound of thread being cut)

It's done. How's this?

Wow. Wow, it's really good.

Thank you. No, thank you.

Creak... (door sound) (Yume) Ah~ There you are!

Chitose, what are you doing? (Amano) Yume-chan...

(Yume) I was looking for you to have lunch together.

(Amano) Sorry...

Oh, could it be your girlfriend?

(Amano) Yes. Ah, nice to meet you. I'm a second-year...

(Yume) Why are you holding a skirt?

Whose is it?

(Amano) This is...

mine.

(Yume) Huh? Eh? What are you saying?

(Amano) It's true. I do cosplay...

(Yume) Eh? (Amano) It's just a hobby

I'm just wearing it... Th-that... Th-that...

(Yume) What are you thinking? Stop it, it's so disgusting!

♬〜

Wacchan, For a boy, that's weird.

It's disgusting.

♬〜

What's that!? Isn't your girlfriend awful!?

It's understandable that Yume-chan is angry.

Because I've been hiding it for so long...

Maybe this was for the best.

Eh? (Amano) I've been

all worked up about it to tell Yume-chan

my hobbies that I've been hiding.

If I gave up the hobby that gave me confidence,

I think I would hate myself even more.

So, even though I was rejected, this is okay.

I like myself now and that’s fine.

Amano-senpai is strong.

Eh?

I have no confidence in myself, so I always worry.

If I'm told "it's disgusting," I don't know what to do.

That's why I still can't tell anyone about my Hina dolls.

Gojo-kun...

(Amano) I'm the same.

The other day, when Wakana-kun asked me...

(Someone) Amano-senpai, you're cross-dressing, aren't you?

(Amano) I immediately tensed up.

I thought it might be disgusting... I wouldn't say that!

I would never say such a thing.

I know. I'm sorry for doubting you.

No...

Yume-chan said that to me, but

not everyone would say "disgusting"

It's not always true. It's not good to jump to conclusions.

♬〜

But I still can't forgive it.

To call someone's hobbies disgusting.

(Amano) Yume-chan has always been outspoken.

She's been that way since we were friends.

You were friends?

(Amano) Yes. We were really close.

We can't go back to being just friends though.

Looking back, maybe it would have been better if we had stayed friends...

♬〜

Amano-senpai is amazing.

Even after what happened, he's already thinking about his next cosplay.

If you think about what you love

you might forget the sadness.

♬〜

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

Oh, that reminds me, about what Kitagawa-san want to talk about.

What was that? Huh?

The one where you said you were going to tell me after the summer break.

Ah~, um...

Kitagawa-san?

I... I was going to tell you about some recommended horror movies...

I... I was going to recommend some horror movies...

I forgot! Next time, then. Ahah... Next time. Ahah...

Ahah... Ahahaha.

K... Kitagawa-san? W... What's wrong?

Nothing.

By the way, about the horror movie genre...

Please avoid doll-related horror movies.

The costume contest? Then let's definitely

win first place!

I'll make your costume, Rei-sama.
