This is not the date I wanted.

Although all three items feel a bit bad, the third one is really bad in terms of exposure. In comparison, ① should be the most normal.

"①? Is this okay?" Niya seemed to want Shidou to think about it again, and put out the third piece of clothing, reminding him in a suggestive tone, "Bikini armor is more processed!"

"You were planning on letting me choose that one from the beginning, right!?"

Compared to Shidou who was a little mad, Nia just smiled and waved her hand.

"Just kidding. Of course, the boy's choice is the first priority, the nurse's uniform, right? Boy, you were seduced by a beautiful nurse when you were hospitalized before, so you have always felt bad about not having the courage to take action against the angel in white, right?"

"No! Please don't suddenly make up a story that doesn't exist, okay!?"

Shidou felt like he was about to collapse.

After teasing Shidou, Niya walked into the locker room with the nurse uniform in her arms, feeling very satisfied. Then, the sound of fabric rubbing against each other reached Shidou's ears, and he began to have wild thoughts as he was in puberty.

however--

"Clang clang clang! How's that young man? Are you excited?"

The curtain was pulled aside, and what came into view was a more erotic scene than Shidou had imagined. Niya deliberately unbuttoned her nurse's uniform, and wore stockings only up to her thighs, revealing her black lace underwear and her slender, white body.

"What are you doing?"

Shidou asked with some slurred words.

"Yeah, isn't it said that this is a good time for young people? This half-covered, half-revealed way of dressing is unexpectedly sexier than being completely naked, right?"

"Who, who knows! Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

Shidou hurriedly pulled the curtain closed and took a deep breath, trying to calm his blushing cheeks.

"Really are……"

Shidou sighed a little tiredly. If Origami's usual behavior was to seduce him, then Niya's actions were simply to use dirty jokes to cause him to overreact for fun.

"Speaking of which...what cosplay costume did Meng Yue choose again?"

Looking at the various strange costumes around him, Shidou suddenly thought of something.

Although it is obviously impossible for Mengyue to deliberately wear such revealing clothes like Erya, since they are both otakus, the clothes they choose might be unexpectedly similar.

(Is it a nurse outfit? Or a maid outfit? Bikini armor doesn’t seem to suit Meng Yue’s taste, so maybe a sailor outfit or a shrine maiden outfit…)

The image of Mengyue wearing these clothes appeared in his mind, and Shidao couldn't help but be a little dazed. He looked in the direction where Mengyue left with a little expectation.

"Hey, how are you guys doing here?"

Hearing Mengyue's voice, Shidou turned his head reflexively.

For a moment, Shidou's face was filled with astonishment.

She wore a dark grey long shirt, dark trousers, a pair of black leather shoes, a very cool black windbreaker on the outside, and a pair of blood-red gloves on her hands. In addition to clothes, Meng Yue also wore a black curly wig and a half mask similar to those used for masquerade parties.

Forget about expecting any degree of exposure, Mengyue's outfit was even more airtight than usual.

"Humph!"

As if she was very satisfied with Shidou's reaction, Mengyue raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. Combined with her outfit, she gave people a feeling of arrogance and unruliness that was completely different from usual.

"Take ~your heart! Bang~"

As she spoke, Meng Yue placed her index finger on Shidou's chest and spoke softly.

"!?"

For a moment, Shidao felt as if his heart had really been shot through by Mengyue. He hurriedly turned his head away, avoiding Mengyue's aggressive gaze.

(This kind of... unexpected thing is also good.)

Shidou thought secretly in his heart.

"--what!"

At this moment, Erya, who had changed back into his original clothes, came out of the fitting room, walked quickly to Mengyue, with excitement in his eyes.

"Is this costume a female Joker's costume from Durarara! 5? Yes, right?"

"Oh, you played that game too."

Meng Yue said with some surprise.

"Of course, I almost didn't submit the manuscript because I stayed up all night playing that game for several days. The game was so trendy that it was unfair! I was wondering what you would cosplay, Bili-chan, but it turned out to be this."

Erya said excitedly while marveling at the high degree of completion of Mengyue's cosplay.

"Hey, Bilijiang. Can you please strike a pose and say 'show time'?"

"sure."

Meng Yue nodded, struck a very handsome pose, and spoke in a low voice.

“This is show time.”

"Oh no, it's so cool."

Erya couldn't help but scream with excitement and continued to ask.

"Well, let's try to imitate the protagonist's lines when he awakens and fights."

"Well... that's fine. It's a rare opportunity."

In an instant, a tense and full BGM seemed to sound in the space. Meng Yue gently touched the mask on her face and sang in a deep voice.

"I am you, and you are me."

At this moment, the girl in front of him seemed like another person, making Shidao feel extremely strange and distant.

"For the justice I believe in, I will face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow, and look directly at all those who commit atrocities. Their anger will be released along with my true name. Even if this road is the Shura Road to Hell, I will bear witness to everything with my iron heart."

As he spoke, Meng Yue casually took off the mask and threw it into the air.

"Come out-persona!"

Then, the mask flipped handsomely a few times in the air, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and nothing happened.

In an instant, the BGM sounding around Meng Yue stopped abruptly.

"..."

In the silence, Mengyue bent down and picked up the plastic mask on the ground, brushed off the dust, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Well, enough cosplaying. I'll change and go to the next place."

"learn."

Erya nodded in understanding.

"..."

[Ah, sorry. The radio signal was suddenly cut off just now. What happened, Shidao? ]

He stared blankly at everything happening in front of him for a long time, until he heard Kotori's voice, Shidou finally came to his senses and wailed in frustration.

“Ahhhhh, why didn’t you bring the camera here!?”

PS: I just watched the game video of Persona 5 recently, and I will definitely buy a game console in the future. And P5 is the best in the world!

09 Akihabara Trip (Part )

==============================

"The next destination - Animate? Gamers? Toranoana? Melebooks? COMIC ZIN? Or BookTower? Choose, boy."

"Eh?"

Shidou was stunned when he heard Nia suddenly throw out a bunch of words that he couldn't understand at all.

"They are all 2D specialty stores. The only difference is the focus of the products. They sell almost all original books, derivative fanzines, games, figures, and peripheral products. Also, the special gifts sold by each store are different."

Mengyue sighed, explained it briefly and clearly to Shidao, then turned to Niya and gave instructions.

"Niya, Shidou is a complete novice in this area. Don't expect him to hear those specialized terms. Don't go to places that are too difficult."

"Understood~ Then just pick a store nearby."

"I always feel a little sorry..."

Shidou couldn't help feeling a little ashamed as he felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the two.

"Well, don't worry about that. Let's go!"

Nia waved her hand and took Mengyue and Shidao to the nearest store nearby.

"Oh…Ooooooooooooooooooo!"

As soon as she entered the store, Erya was attracted by the dazzling array of goods in front of her and screamed with excitement.

"Isn't this Umura-sensei's manga already 25 volumes in? The style has completely changed, time has passed too fast."

"Hey! Erya! The noise is too loud! Keep it down!"

Feeling the strange looks from the customers around him, Shidou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and whispered a warning. However, Niya didn't pay any attention to the looks around her at all, and read the comics with great interest.

"Give up, Shidou. Otakus are just that kind of creatures."

Mengyue sighed softly and patted Shidao on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to struggle in vain.

I have to say, these words are very convincing coming from Mengyue, who can ignore the interruption of the shop assistants and read books in the bookstore.

"All right……"

Shidou gave a bitter smile and lowered his shoulders helplessly to show his surrender. At this moment, Niya's eyes widened in surprise as if she had discovered a new world.

"Is this Kurauchi-sensei's new work?!"

"Oh, this. It's being serialized now, right? The anime version has also been released."

Shidou interrupted. The manga artist that Nia was talking about was a manga artist with a long career, and even Shidou, who didn't know much about this, had heard of his fame.

"Are you a fan of Mr. Kurauchi?"

Meng Yue asked curiously.

"Of course! And I'm a die-hard fan!" Erya nodded without hesitation and answered decisively, "Kurachi-sensei's "Time and Space Tale" is my first comic book. It was after reading his book that I decided to become a cartoonist. Zhu Luye is my bride, even though she's a man, but she's my bride! What do you think, Bili-chan?"

"Um..." Meng Yue replied awkwardly after hearing what Erya said. "Although I have also read Mr. Kurauchi's new work, but "Chronobi Qitan" was written too long ago, and I am not used to the style..."

Erya suddenly raised his head, approached Mengyue aggressively, and said in disbelief.

"Nonsense! If you don't read it, it will be a big loss in your life. I will lend you the BD and the original comic later, so make sure you finish reading it!"

"Ha... I know. I'll just obey your command."

Mengyue did not refuse Erya's strong recommendation and nodded honestly.

"Ah - damn it! It's all Dem's fault. I need to replenish more things than I expected. It turns out that online shopping alone is not enough. Next, I have to buy all the books in one fell swoop!"

As she said that, Niya rushed to the cashier with a bunch of comics in her arms to pay. She then put the books she bought into the empty suitcase she had prepared in advance and asked Shidou to take it.

Then go to the second floor, where you can buy comics just like on the first floor, but the types of comics are slightly different.

"Oh, this! And this! Ah, this is too incredible. Not good, I can't stop my hands, hehehehe——"

Erya, who was running out of energy, was like a basketball player in the zone. He shuttled back and forth between the stalls like lightning, and his low, evil laughter came one after another.

Honestly, it's a little disgusting.

"Ha~ a great harvest!"

"You bought so much... What is this!?"

Seeing Nia returning with a lot of spoils in her arms, Shidou sighed at first. Then he saw the book in her hand and cried out in surprise.

The covers of the books that Erya was holding were mostly of the kind that showed two BL boys hugging each other, also known as BL.

"Well, I'm a professional at this. When I see two men, I can instantly match them up. And I can tell who's the top and who's the bottom."

As he said this, Nia puffed out his chest proudly, then put the book down, framed his hands, and looked at Shidou's analysis.

After a few seconds, Erya came to a conclusion.

"You are a cowardly scumbag!"

"--puff!"

Meng Yue couldn't help laughing out loud.
