Chapter 124: Clothing Making Requirements of Super-Quant Club Members, Two People in a Narrow Internet Cafe Booth
Yoru fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke seriously.
"Yuigahama-san, this is sexual harassment."
Hearing this, Yui looked flustered and waved her hands repeatedly.
"I... I didn't mean that."
"Which meaning?"
"Just... just, anyway, no meaning at all, don't think too much!"
Yui was scared.
What she feared wasn't the matter of going to a hotel with Yoru itself.
From the contact during this period, although the opponent often said some very outrageous words, he wasn't a rogue who would do indecent things; instead, he belonged to the abstinent type.
What Yui feared was the feeling in her heart that she vaguely understood but didn't want to understand.
I...
Seem to like Yoru a bit.
What should I do?
If she fell in love with him at the very beginning, even if her confession was rejected, only she would be hurt.
But now...
Why is it that only after becoming friends with Rio, Miko, Mai-senpai, and others, did this feeling in my heart surge more strongly?
It has reached the point where it can hardly be suppressed.
However, Yui dared not show this feeling.
If she showed it...
Then how to get along with Rio, Miko, and Mai in the future?
Not just concerns about friendship.
Yui looked innocent and dazed on the surface, but actually, her heart was very sensitive.
If she didn't handle this feeling for Yoru properly, it could likely become the fuse for the disintegration of the Super-Quant Club.
Once the Super-Quant Club disintegrated...
What about Kyoto city?
I cannot become a sinner destroying friendship and the safety of Kyoto city!
"However...."
Yoru looked at the station evacuating the crowd, his tone relaxed.
"Whether from your home or mine, it is indeed too far here. Finding a place to stay first is indeed the best choice."
At this time, a battle between heaven and humanity (internal conflict) was going on in Yui's heart.
Just as Yoru said.
With such heavy rain, there was no way to go home.
Explaining to her mother was easy.
But if the matter of going to a hotel with him was known by the members of the Super-Quant Club, what should she do?
Is there any place where we can stay overnight without causing misunderstandings?
Yui suddenly thought of a method that satisfied both sides and asked tentatively.
"Shall we... go to an internet cafe?"
"Internet cafe..."
Yoru pondered, nodding slightly.
"That works too."
Internet cafes in Sakura Prefecture were independent small rooms, containing not only computers but also coat racks and bedding, and there were manga and such in the hall.
Many animes had scenes of staying overnight in internet cafes.
Yoru could roughly guess why Yui said hotel at first but changed to internet cafe now.
This overly indecisive personality, always sacrificing her own feelings to consider others, was exactly the biggest obstacle for the opponent to awaken the ability of Soul Manifestation.
However, Yoru didn't say it explicitly.
To awaken Soul Manifestation, one must face the true self.
He could play a guiding role in this process, just like the awakening of Miko and Rio was a situation guided by him.
But the final decision power was still in the hands of the person themselves.
Compared to Miko who dared not face evil spirits directly, and Rio who disguised her true thoughts and pretended to be rational and calm.
Yui's personality of being overly gentle and always thinking for others was the most troublesome.
Yoru couldn't even imagine under what circumstances Yui would break this gentleness.
Choosing to escape at the critical moment of encountering an evil spirit, leaving behind severely injured companions?
That would be selfish enough.
But behaving completely opposite to the disguised self didn't equal facing the true self.
The real Yui definitely wasn't a selfish personality.
Very troublesome, very hard to deal with.
....
Meanwhile, Marin, who just returned home, sitting barefoot on the sofa watching anime, suddenly heard her phone ringing on the table.
She picked up the phone and answered. From the other side came Mai's gentle voice.
"Sorry Marin, calling you so late, did I disturb your rest?"
Marin laughed carelessly and replied.
"It's okay, Mai-senpai. I just got home too."
"That's good."
Hearing Marin's reply, Mai breathed a sigh of relief, then her voice carried a bit of shyness.
"Um... Marin, I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong, Mai-senpai?"
"Aren't you and Kawasaki-san planning to make Cosplay costumes?"
Speaking of this, Mai paused slightly, then spoke in a perfectly calm tone as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
"I want to ask, can you make that kind of bunny girl costume?"
"Bunny girl?"
Marin was a bit puzzled hearing this.
Bunny girl, although considered a classic costume in Cosplay, that...
Is a bit too revealing, right?
Moreover, didn't Mai-senpai say she didn't want to participate in Cosplay?
"Possible is possible..."
Marin didn't care too much, just asked with a smile.
"Then Mai-senpai, do you have any specific requirements?"
Mai on the other end of the phone stroked her chest lightly, suppressing the nervous emotion in her heart, pretending to be nonchalant, and said faintly.
"Preferably the semi-transparent kind, showing figure a bit more. I won't wear it out; it's for sleeping."
"Uh..."
Marin frowned.
Semi-transparent?
Bunny girl?
Showing figure?
This isn't a Cosplay costume; it's sexy lingerie, right?
Although Marin felt very strange in her heart, she didn't ask much but nodded directly and agreed.
"Okay, when it's done, I'll bring it to you, Mai-senpai."
"Thanks a lot, Marin."
After hanging up, Marin looked at the phone screen, murmuring thoughtfully.
"Mai-senpai... what exactly does she want to do?"
Marin agreed mainly because her relationship with Mai was quite good, could be called friends.
Moreover, members of the same club.
Semi-transparent bunny girl costume wasn't hard to make; after all, there were only a few details, very suitable for Kawasaki Saki, who was beginning to learn handmade clothing production, to practice.
Besides.
Marin hadn't forgotten that material costs and Kawasaki Saki's labor fees were advanced from the Super-Quant Club activity fund.
How could she be embarrassed to refuse?
Before Marin had time to put down the phone, another call came in.
After answering, it was almost the same opening line as Mai, except it was Miko.
"Marin, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you."
"Of course free, speak, Miko."
Although Miko's psychological quality was exceptionally strong, in terms of acting, she was still far inferior to the former national idol Mai.
Her voice carried shyness as she spoke carefully.
"Marin, if I want to cosplay, wanting a costume suitable for me... what style do you recommend?"
Hearing this question, Marin couldn't help smiling.
Actually, she had already considered this matter the first moment she saw the Super-Quant Club members.
This was a necessary skill for an excellent COSER.
Marin replied directly without almost any thinking or hesitation.
"For Miko, I recommend a cuter style. After all... how to say it, you have a special, pitiful temperament."
You don't say.
Marin was indeed talented in this aspect.
She could see at a glance that Miko's erotism lay in that unique temperament of being pitiful yet making people want to bully her severely.
"Cute style..."
Miko on the other end of the phone looked down at the bright yellow sweater on her body and couldn't help sighing slightly.
Is my dressing style a bit too old-fashioned?
Maybe because of this reason, Yoru didn't proceed to the final step with me?
"Then... any specific costume recommendations?"
Before Marin had time to answer, she heard Miko add softly.
"Preferably the kind... with a bit less fabric."
This sentence almost overloaded Marin's brain CPU.
What is the situation?
First Mai-senpai, now Miko.
Why do you Super-Quant Club members all like to make such unique requests?
Logically speaking, shouldn't girls participating in Cosplay for the first time hope for more fabric and covering as tightly as possible?
Are there such requests in the world?
If Marin hadn't been getting along with the Super-Quant Club members for so long and felt everyone was nice.
Otherwise, she would start suspecting if this club had some wonderful internal activities she didn't know about.
"This... there is."
Marin turned on the laptop screen, entered a few words in the search bar, then took a photo with her phone and sent it to Miko's email.
"This is the bridal... oh, wedding costume worn by a certain anime character. The main body is white and light pink, very beautiful, just a bit less fabric." (Note: Probably referring to Nero Claudius Bride or similar aesthetic).
To be honest.
Miko didn't hear Marin's subsequent words at all.
Seeing that picture of white stockings plus white high heels, looking incomparably holy and elegant overall yet sexy costume, and hearing the word "wedding," her face flushed, and her mind went blank.
"Mmhmm mmhmm, I want this!"
"Uh..."
Marin looked complicated.
"You... want to wear this costume for Cosplay?"
"Ah? Of course not."
"Then what do you want this costume for?"
Miko was stunned by the question. After a long while, she found a clumsy excuse.
"I... I use it as pajamas."
Marin laughed and cried: "You use it as pajamas too?"
Miko was puzzled: "Too?"
"Nothing."
Marin knew she slipped up and hurriedly glossed over it.
Mai-senpai wanted a semi-transparent bunny girl suit; she didn't know what it was specifically used for.
But one thing.
Since she asked for help, it proved Mai-senpai trusted her.
Marin certainly couldn't reveal this to others.
Even Miko, a fellow Super-Quant Club member with a good relationship, wouldn't do.
"Hmm... making it should be no problem, but this costume has many small accessories, and the procedure is a bit complicated. I can't guarantee the specific time; depends on how fast Saki's skills improve."
"It's okay, no rush."
Miko wasn't in a hurry.
As long as there was one.
She even wanted to order a set for Rio.
But thinking carefully, with Rio's personality, she would probably be shy.
Besides...
With Rio's figure, the costume.... was indeed hard to make.
....
On the other side.
Yoru and Yui, who left the underground train station, hid under a small umbrella, welcoming the baptism of the rainstorm.
"Rejoice, for the birth of the new King!" (Kamen Rider Woz reference).
Hearing Yoru's crazy words, Yui didn't feel abstract this time but felt a bit cool.
Not Yoru changed.
It was her.
"Come in quickly."
Yui pulled Yoru's sleeve, pulling him under the umbrella, complaining softly in a gentle tone like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Look, your hair is wet; you will catch a cold tomorrow like this."
Yoru's answer was very concise.
"I won't catch a cold."
"Hah?"
Hearing this sentence, Yui felt a bit surprised at first.
But thinking carefully.
Right.
With Yoru's physical fitness beyond ordinary imagination, how could he catch a cold?
Concern makes one confused (Guan Xin Ze Luan).
Yui blushed slightly, hurriedly changed the subject, and sighed slightly.
"Really, why is it raining so heavily suddenly today."
Yoru replied matter-of-factly.
"Of course because of Amano Hina's matter."
"Sigh."
Yui sighed helplessly on the surface, but a thought she herself found surprising flashed in her heart.
Thanks for the gift of new member Amano Hina.
Just then.
A sudden gust of wind blew the small pitiful umbrella in the unprepared Yui's hand directly into mid-air.
"Eh..."
Before the rain swept and blew on Yui's face, Yoru extended his right hand and said softly.
"Umbrella."
In just an instant, a black large umbrella appeared in Yoru's hand, blocking all the rain blowing towards Yui.
"Eh?"
Yui froze for a moment. After a few seconds, she stomped her foot, gritting her silver teeth.
"Since you can create umbrellas, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Hmm? Became my problem? Don't shift the blame randomly."
Whenever this time came, Yoru focused on being righteous.
"You didn't ask me either. You said you brought an umbrella, then actively invited me in to hide from the rain together, didn't you?"
"Uh..."
Yui recalled.
It seems, really so.
Yoru didn't stop outputting there, unforgivingly saying.
"Say, is this round your fault?" (Gaming term: Is this round played badly by you?).
Yui tried to pass by acting cute, sticking out her tongue, smiling embarrassedly.
"Sorry, my bad."
"That's good."
Yoru smiled and pulled Yui closer to him.
"For the sake of your cuteness, I forgive your blame-shifting behavior."
Yui's pupils shrank in shock, heart stopping.
Her surprise at this moment was even greater than when seeing that Titan Evil Spirit's pupil appearing outside the window.
Yoru just said...
I am cute?
The simple and unadorned straight ball attack produced an effect again.
Yui's fragile defense was pierced.
Even in the cold wind, she could clearly feel her cheeks burning slightly.
....
After arriving at a nearby internet cafe, the boss at the counter looked at Yui and Yoru, smiling very politely.
"Only one single booth left."
"Ah?"
Yui looked puzzled.
"How come, boss? Today isn't the weekend."
Yoru raised his hand, rubbing Yui's bun hairstyle, causing the latter to cover her head and let out a cute hum.
"Are you stupid? Everyone is hiding from the rain."
The internet cafe boss nodded repeatedly.
"This handsome guy is right. Because it rained, the booths are full today."
Yui thought she trapped herself this time.
If going to a hotel, at least there should be double rooms.
But now, only a narrow single booth remained.
But what is that trace of secret joy in my heart?
Is it really trapping myself (Spinning a cocoon around oneself)?
If trapping.
"Then until tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
After taking the money, the boss led Yui and Yoru to a small booth at the innermost part, with an ambiguous expression.
"Two guests, if anything happens at night, try to be quiet; don't disturb other guests' rest."
Obviously, the boss misunderstood.
Yoru understood.
Yui didn't understand yet. After the boss left, she looked dazed and innocent, pulled Yoru's sleeve, and asked.
"What does 'if anything happens at night, voice try to be smaller' mean?"
Yoru replied very straightforwardly.
"Just doing things one loves to do (Making love)."
"Do... things one loves to do?"
Yui reacted after a few seconds, her pretty face flushing red instantly.
She stole a glance at Yoru beside her.
Right here?
Tonight?
Could it be...
No, Tuanzi, you must hold back!
Only when Yui and Yoru entered the booth together and saw the layout inside did she realize one thing.
The size of the single booth was less than five square meters.
Inside was a table with a computer.
Beside it was a small cabinet with manga.
The rest was the floor bed.
Spending a night alone with Yoru in such a narrow room....
Yui wanted to cry but had no tears.
Can I really hold back?
