In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

An ordinary short bob, an ordinary pink spring coat, and a white stand-up collar shirt underneath.

This hairstyle, this outfit...

Eriri looked around.

I found that on this not-so-wide street, there were several girls who had the same hairstyle and wore the same clothes as Kato Megumi.

An idea suddenly popped into her mind - Friend B.

In Galgame, Friend A may be the protagonist's best friend.

Then Friend B is just a passing supporting character for whom the artists were too lazy to even draw a face.

Although it was a bit rude, Eriri really thought the other person was one of the passers-by.

That's why I didn't notice her existence.

But this way, she wouldn't have to worry about her attracting Ryosuke's attention.

Feeling relaxed, Ying Lili yawned uncontrollably, with some sparkling tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Eri, didn't you get enough rest last night? Actually, there's no need to come out so early." Kato Megumi asked indifferently.

Although she had already gone out, she still didn't quite understand why Eriri wanted to invite her to her date with Hiratsuka-kun.

Isn’t dating between a man and a woman a private matter between two people?

After all, that's how it was played in all the TV series I've watched before.

Put yourself in his shoes. If you were on a date with a boy you liked, and there was a third girl in the room...

uh~

Sure enough, I still feel a little angry.

Eriri wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her index finger and waved her hand.

He forced himself to cheer up and said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine soon."

Compared to painting all night long in the past, she at least got some sleep last night. She was used to it.

She looked at the girl in front of her and said cheerfully, "Thank you, Xiaohui, for coming out so early during the holiday to accompany me."

"That's nothing." Kato Megumi still asked directly the question in her mind, "But Eriri, why did you invite me to your date with Hiratsuka-kun?"

Ying Lili's eyes flickered, and she retorted in panic: "Who, who, who wants to date him!"

"Didn't I tell you last night that I'm a friend of mine? This time, I'm actually here to make sure my friend can have a smooth date in the future. I'm here to rehearse for her in advance."

At the beginning, she did hope that Kato Megumi could help her with advice.

But when she was about to go out early this morning, she was stopped by Sayuri Sawamura.

Then I heard a brilliant plan from my mother.

Akihabara's two-dimensional culture is popular, and there are many cosplay clothing stores.

The plan is to play role-playing games with Ryosuke.

He plays the male lead and I play the female lead.

The reason why I am dressed so casually today is to create a sense of contrast.

After changing clothes, Ryosuke's eyes lit up.

If Ryosuke gets too into cosplay, there might be some extra surprises.

As for Kato Megumi, it is now a matter of courage for her.

If it was just her and Ryosuke, and she was the one who suggested cosplaying as the male and female protagonists.

How is this possible?

Wouldn't that be the same as telling Ryosuke directly to his face, I want to be your heroine?

But if it is a cosplay played by three people together.

The nature of the game changed and it became a game among friends.

As long as the result is still that she plays the female lead and Ryosuke plays the male lead, then there is no problem.

I have to say, my mother's plan is perfect.

It not only took her feelings into consideration, but also achieved the goal.

She just needs to try her best to carry it out.

If she were left to think for herself, she probably would never be able to come up with such a perfect solution in her lifetime.

Soon she modified the plan slightly and told Kato Megumi.

"You mean your friend wants to play cosplay, so he wants me to try on clothes with him? Sure."

The girl did not expose Eriri's clumsy lie, but instead went along with what she said.

"Yeah! That's it, Hui-chan, you have a good ability to understand!" Eriri nodded repeatedly.

Kato Megumi didn't have any thoughts in her mind.

Because for her, she has long been accustomed to being a bystander.

Cosplay? I haven't done it yet.

I don't know what Hiratsuka-kun looks like after changing his clothes.

Ying Lili thought to herself when she saw that the other party agreed.

If the girl in front of her was Ryosuke's childhood sweetheart, she would never have made such a suggestion.

When playing games, everyone knows to avoid the BOSS first, and Eriri doesn't think she is that stupid.

Kato Megumi, an ordinary-looking girl who has no feelings for Ryosuke, is the best candidate for this plan.

As for the threat level...

Even the Yamada fairy, who has no feelings for Ryosuke, seems to be more threatening than Kei-chan.

Thank her and compensate her afterwards.

Hey, stupid Ryosuke, why haven’t you come yet?

Chapter 165: Hui-chan, why are you wearing my clothes?

A few minutes later.

"By the way, Xiaohui, do you want to eat something?" Ying Lili asked in a friendly manner.

"Thank you, I have had breakfast." Kato Megumi replied calmly.

Ying Lili shook her head, stretched out her white and tender fingers like scallion roots, pointed at the ice cream shop in the distance, and smiled: "I mean that one."

False purpose: To win over the hearts of the people and reward teammates before the battle begins.

The real purpose: I’m hungry but too embarrassed to eat alone.

"Eri, if you eat ice cream so early in the morning, be careful not to get an upset stomach."

Although Kato Megumi had no expression on her face, there was a hint of concern in her words.

Hearing this, Ying Lili patted her flat chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. I always drink ice cola at home in the morning, it's okay, ice cream is just a small thing for me, it's nothing."

After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the cold drink shop.

……

It's approaching nine o'clock.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke finally arrived at the agreed meeting place.

But the first person he saw was not Eriri, but another girl.

"Kato, why are you here?" Ryosuke asked curiously.

He felt that Kato Megumi seemed to be everywhere and always appeared in situations he least expected.

Didn't Eriri ask him out today? He just emailed her to confirm the location.

"Good morning, Hiratsuka-kun." Kato Megumi first greeted Ryosuke calmly.

Then he pointed to a bench not far away and continued, "As for Eriri, she's over there."

Ryosuke followed Kato Megumi's gaze.

Even in disguise, he could tell at a glance that it was Eriri.

At this moment, Ying Lili was sitting on a bench, her face a little pale.

Seeing that she looked a little strange, Ryosuke walked over quickly and asked with concern: "Eri, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing the voice, Eriri looked up at Ryosuke and forced an ugly smile, "Ryosuke, you're here."

She never thought that she, who was used to drinking cold drinks in the morning, would be in such a state after drinking an ice cream.

Fortunately, Kato Megumi was there and bought medicine for her.

But how do I explain this to Ryosuke?

So she tried to brush it off and waved her hands quickly, "I'm really fine, I just didn't get enough rest last night."

Although Ryosuke didn't quite understand what Eriri was doing, he still turned his eyes to Kato Megumi who was present.

At the same time, Eriri was looking at Kato Megumi with pleading eyes and shaking her head repeatedly.

Those deep blue eyes seemed to be able to speak, speaking silently.

Please, Hui-chan, don't tell Ryosuke about this embarrassing thing.

Kato Megumi couldn't stand Eriri's pitiful look.

In the end, he chose to help the innocent blonde girl, "Hiratsuka-kun, you should rest now since you just arrived."

She had clearly told me in advance, so why should I try?

Just like there are always people who know that there are some things that cannot be done, but still lick the iron railings with their tongues in winter.

Let Eriri take a rest for now.

……

After a period of time.

It wasn't until Eriri's face gradually turned rosy that Ryosuke believed what Kato Megumi said.

A healthy body is above all else.

Once at school, Eriri fainted due to anemia, so Ryosuke was worried that she might be sick again, so he didn't urge her.

Fortunately, there seems to be no problem at the moment.

Eriri seemed to have regained her energy. She jumped up from the chair and put her hands behind her back.

He repeated the excuse he had just given to Kato Megumi to Ryosuke.

After listening to this, Hiratsuka Ryosuke immediately came to a conclusion.

This is a lie.

But he knew Eriri's character. If he exposed her at this time, the little golden retriever would probably be furious.

So he said considerately: "If your friend needs help in the future and needs me, you can call me directly."

Ying Lili was stunned at first, and then a strong light burst out from her blue eyes, "Really? You better keep your word!"

So, I don’t have to wait until school starts, I can look for him during the holidays?

She turned around and walked ahead, urging, "Hurry, Ryosuke, Xiaohui, let's go. That experience store is doing very good business. If we go late, we will have to queue!"

……

In addition to some popular characters, cosplay clothing stores will prepare various types of costumes for sale in advance.

You can also order clothes made to measure or pre-order them, after all, not everyone has good hands-on skills.

In Japan, where the two-dimensional culture is prevalent, many of these clothing stores are transformed from photo studios.

Selling clothes, makeup, photography, and post-production are all one-stop services.
