01x09 - A Lot Happened After I Saw That Photo

[bunniefuu]

I'm home.

Sorry for the intrusion!

So we're all set with these?

Yes.

Also, the torso I ordered

should arrive today.

Really? I can't wait.

WORLD'S HOBBY HOUSE

By the way, Gojo,

what do you think of this?

What? Dude, you're so loud,

it's actually scary.

You're showing me your panties!

It's a swimsuit.

I just bought and wore it

on the spot earlier.

Hey, didn't we discuss

the costumes yesterday?

I sent you the photo,

but you left me on read, didn't you?

That's just so cold of you.

That's

I saw a lot of things

when I saw that picture.

What do you call this? A high-leg

swimsuit? I couldn't find it anywhere.

But I finally found the imported one,

so isn't this looking good?

Gojo?

I need to calm myself now.

Please leave me alone.

GRINNING

What?

Could it be that I made your heart race?

Jeez, Gojo. You're such a pervert.

I'm sorry! I'm fine with your swimsuit!

But for now, please leave me alone!

Are you actually angry? I'm sorry.

I'm not!

But now is just not the right time!

I totally digress, but

There's a time when you blow

cold noodles to cool them down, right?

Yes.

When you notice it, you're like,

"sh**t, that's embarrassing!" right?

It really looks good!

I'm so emotional!

You look so happy.

Of course, I am.

It makes me happy

knowing that I'm being helpful too.

Even though what I'm capable of

is just simple things like this.

I'm actually helpful.

It's so pretty!

I'm really looking forward to the cosplay!

I guess I'll see how it looks.

Wait, Kitagawa!

Feel free to look, Gojo.

As if I would do that!

What are you talking about?

I'm wearing a fancy bra today,

so it's fine, you know.

See?

It's the one that I shouldn't show!

GOJO DOLLS

Oh, my gosh!

It's so cute.

How is it, Inui?

It's awesome.

It fits me perfectly, too.

It's so lovely.

So precious.

Is it not difficult to move in that?

No, it's fine.

If there's any part that concerns you,

please tell me.

Well

Could the skirt be spread out

a little wider?

You're right. Shall we use a wire?

I think I'll just wear

a hard tutu underneath.

I have one.

All right.

Do you want to wear a cloak?

Yes.

I want to see it!

You used an embossed fabric

for the lining, right?

It's pretty.

But with this thickness,

it may be difficult to move

when you strike a pose.

It's okay.

If you take sequences of photos

while moving,

it will look like it's fluttering,

and the heavier the fabric,

the better it looks.

That was so cool!

I also want to say smart lines like that!

What about you, Kitagawa?

Oh, right.

Well

This part is kind of tight.

It's crazy!

These things on my shoulders

are looking nice too.

It's insane!

This part too! It's too cute!

It's lunatic!

You don't have to push yourself.

Thank you so much.

I want to match your wig and makeup,

so please put your hair up, Kitagawa.

-Marin Kitagawa.

-Yes?

You don't have any foundation

with other colors than this?

No.

If the character's hair is bright,

you will need a tone that's

a brighter shade to fit with the wig.

Then adjust it using the control color.

Black Lobelia will look better with blue.

She's an enemy, after all.

If you don't have any,

I can lend you on sh**ting day.

Really? I'm so happy!

-Let's change your eye shape now.

-What's that?

A lift-up tape.

Inui told me about this, so I bought one.

I think Black Lobelia's slit eyes

can't be done

by using fake eyelashes alone.

Also, I was curious myself.

That sounds good. Let's use it.

From the corner of the eye,

diagonally upward, little by little.

Like this?

Somehow, it feels strange.

Once you've put it up, use a hairpin

to hold the netting and tape it in place.

How about my eyebrows?

Should I shave them?

We can use parallel eyebrows this time,

so there's no need.

Did you shave your eyebrows last time?

It's done.

Yes. It looks good.

Good work! Hey.

I want to take a look in the mirror.

Okay, here you go.

What? Crap! Is this real?

Do I really look like this?

I

Am I

Am I really Black Lobelia?

No, you're not.

Your wig color looks really nice.

Where did you get it?

Swallowtail.

It's pretty, right?

SURPRISED

HITTING LIGHTLY

HITTING LIGHTLY

She really looks so happy.

I'm really pumped up!

I really can't wait to cosplay together!

I was really looking forward to it.

There's a lot of sudden rain these days,

so there's nothing we can do about it.

Also, the cold and dark place fits

our image perfectly. Isn't that nice?

Yes, sure. But not my mood.

That corset is so lovely, isn't it?

What?

I love Black Lobelia's costume.

It's so deep, this thing!

Corsets are mysteriously good,

aren't they?

Maybe because it looks like a dress.

Also, it's kind of sweet and spicy.

Ever since I was a child, I loved the gap

between Neon and her Black Lobelia form,

and it's so great

that I can cosplay as her.

You're right.

Anyway, I have a request.

What is it?

Well

Can we take a photo together?

Just kidding.

I don't mind.

You can do whatever you want.

Really? Thanks! You're a lifesaver!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy!

Can I post it online?

That's fine.

Your makeup will come off, you know.

Anyway, Shinju is surely taking her time.

Usually, it won't take her

this long to prepare.

Gojo hasn't come back either.

We're getting so many likes!

We haven't even edited my photo yet!

You're really awesome, Lady JuJu!

You're the best!

It's because you only upload

photos of food.

What's with the photos of fried rice

with everything on it?

I made that fried rice, you know.

You're kidding, right?

I got so many replies.

What? "JuJu is an actual person"?

I am! What the heck?

I mean, you rarely come

to any cosplay event after all.

Excuse us!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, you're late!

-What?

-What?

Could it be

Hey, Inui!

What's wrong?

Inui!

Inui!

ON THE DAY OF SCOUTING

I'm really sorry.

I'm the one who came up with the idea,

and yet I collapsed in the middle of it.

It's absolutely fine.

I've already seen every corner

with Shinju, after all.

We've already taken some photos, so

let's take a look at them later back home.

You're right.

You weren't feeling well, right?

Sorry, I didn't notice that.

I'm feeling well.

Well, let's wrap it up for today, I guess.

-Let's do that.

-Okay.

I'm meeting Noa and the others

at Shibuya, so I'll go first.

We're going to have a karaoke session

to get us pumped up for the finals.

Please study properly.

Later, Gojo.

Okay.

Let's go too.

This is my first time

visiting Shim-Misato,

so can I look at the shops in front

of the station before we go home?

Is that so? Then I'll go home first.

Be careful.

Okay.

-Hey.

-What?

What is it?

Is there something about cameras

that you don't know?

Oh, no.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but

Inui, could you actually be

wanting to do cosplay too?

When we last met,

I figured maybe you couldn't say that

in front of your sister.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Please forget about it. Excuse me.

I

I want to, to be honest.

There's a character that I really like,

and I want to cosplay as that character.

Just like Marin said,

when I see my sister's cosplay,

to be honest, I always envy her.

-Then

-But

I can't.

I won't look good in it.

I

I'm not cute like my sister.

I'm not slim.

That character is of completely

a different type from me.

I can't look like them.

It will look strange for sure.

So it's better for me to not do it.

Moreover,

if I do a weird cosplay,

and that makes my sister feel uneasy,

what should I do if she hates me?

I'm scared.

Last time,

it was my first time seeing

a lot of cosplayers enjoy their cosplay.

You could be anything you wanted to be.

That is the beauty of cosplay.

If you have even

the slightest feeling to cosplay,

then do it!

I will help you.

Moreover, I don't think your sister is

the type who will reject her own sister.

Gojo, please.

Please help me!

Of course!

So from what series

do you want to cosplay as?

Well, to tell you the truth

I want to cosplay as a character

from Fierce Flower Princess

I see.

Who will it be?

She said it's a different type from her,

so it's probably the heroine, Mirai.

I

I want to be Soma, the big brother.

Soma, the big brother?

I've always admired him.

He's so strong, cool,

and when his sister, Mirai, is in trouble,

he immediately helps her.

He looks like my sister. I love him.

I see.

Since it's settled already, how about

cosplaying together on the sh**ting day?

I think those two will be happy too.

Okay! But can you please

keep it a secret until then?

It's my first time, so it's embarrassing.

Understood.

Can you really manage it?

Manage what?

I

I'm fat, and there are many places

where my clothes can't fit.

That's not what you call "fat."

Also

I'm still using my allowances,

so I don't have that much.

That's right!

She looks so mature, I almost forgot!

She's still in middle school,

so she can't work part-time yet!

This is the biggest issue!

I can't make the costume!

No!

It's true that cosplay

is an expensive hobby,

but not everyone has the right budget!

Even if you have limited funds,

you can still enjoy it!

There's got to be a way! Think!

I knew it.

It's too difficult for you, right?

-No!

-What?

I'll do something about that!

GOJO DOLLS

-First, about the costume

-Yes?

If you use this,

you won't have to worry about the cost.

Is this your

I remembered when

I watched Fierce Flower Princess,

Soma's uniform is similar

to our school uniform.

It really is!

May I borrow it?

Sure. But I'm not sure about the size.

There.

If Kitagawa said that

she wanted to be Soma

It's all baggy, you know.

Would I lend her my uniform?

I'm done, Gojo!

Okay!

How is it

TAU

TREMBLING

TIGH

TREMBLING

TIGH

SNAP

I'm sorry! The button just

Inui, your front!

I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I can sew it back right on.

The size is okay, right?

I think I'll just hem it up.

Okay!

The sleeves are also rolled up,

so the length is fine.

Then the problem is your

How to make your body

look masculine, right?

Yes.

At this rate, it's on the level

of "just someone wearing male clothes."

In order to conceal her breasts,

I guess I'll have to make them

look masculine.

There's no need to do any body correction

when making Hina dolls.

A kimono doesn't have any buttons

in the first place.

Kimono. That's right!

TA-DA

Let's try using sarashi!

If you pin down the curvature

with sarashi,

I think you'll have

a masculine body shape.

Shall we try it?

Understood.

Come to think of it,

Kitagawa wore some NuBras too, didn't she?

In order to get closer to the character,

you have to change your face and body.

When I think about it again,

it's really an amazing thing to do.

But

Isn't that the ultimate form of love?

I want to become like them

because I love them!

The feeling of wanting

to become your beloved thing is strong,

that's why it's possible.

My belly doesn't stand out like before,

but my breasts

You're right.

Also, the thin fabric

gives away the roundness,

so the shoulders need to be adjusted

because it gives a feminine impression.

Soma excels at sports,

so I want to look strong.

I understand.

You want to have broad shoulders.

Anyway, it's the breasts.

I wonder how the people who cross-dressed

as male at the cosplay event solved this.

What? B-Holder? What is it?

Oh, it can change that much!

There's one in my size too!

But something this amazing may cost a lot

3,600 YEN

-Or not!

-Or not!

This one is very good! You'll be able

to adjust your body shape for a low price!

Yes!

I'll buy it immediately!

All that's left is the wig, right?

I would like to buy it too

when I go shopping,

so may I measure your head?

Please do.

Please look forward,

and straighten your posture

SQUISH

I'm sorry! It wasn't on purpose!

It's fine! I'm sorry!

I know it's a long trip, but sorry

to make you come here again.

It's okay.

I bought the wig.

Your cosplay is still a secret,

so we'll cut it by ourselves.

Awesome!

Even if it's his first time,

he doesn't hesitate at all.

What?

GROAN

I'm so nervous.

What?

I feel so tense

when I know I can't mess up.

What?

Oh, I'm sorry!

To think that even you worried about that

Of course, I would!

You made such amazing costumes yourself,

so I thought you were very skillful

and could do anything easily.

No way! I've got plenty of things

that I'm not good at.

I'm still learning now.

Is that true?

I have a classmate that I admire.

That person is so bright,

and also well-liked by everyone.

She's a very strong girl

who can speak for herself.

I thought she definitely

wouldn't have any problems like I did.

But

A lot of things happened, and I began

to spend a lot of time with her.

Then I realized

There are things

that she wants to do but can't,

things that don't work for her,

and things that go south.

She has the same feeling as me.

She looks that happy.

She also has a lovely side to her.

GASP

Just now

It's not like that!

Well, what did I want to say again?

Well

You don't know what's inside of

someone's mind because you can't see it,

but everyone actually

has a lot on their mind.

I'll continue cutting it.

Everyone has a lot

I wonder if it's like that.

Let's try some makeup too.

I got everything for your makeup

from a 100-yen store,

so the total price

was less than 10,000 yen.

Thank you so much!

FIRST TIME APPLYING FOUNDATION

Next, we'll do your eyes.

To make your eyes look dignified,

we need to make the eyeliner

slightly longer in the outer corner.

Last one is adjusting the wig.

This is

Shi

Shinju?

Well

You see

I also wanted to

try cosplaying.

What the hell?

Isn't this just too amazing?

-I didn't realize it was you!

-Seriously, it's beyond awesome!

-You really look like him up close!

-I thought you were real for a sec!

-Are you really Shinju?

-Are you really Soma? You really are Soma!

You look so lovely.

Like, really lovely, Shinju.

It suits you!

Good for you, right?

Yes!

Hey, Shinju, where's your original body?

Or rather, where are your breasts?

It's so mysterious!

I'm using a B-holder

and sarashi to hold my breasts,

and I used pads for my shoulders.

That's one bloody girlish face!

Girlish?

She looks like a guy,

but when she smiles, she looks so girlish!

That gap is so harsh!

Anyway, can I take your photo?

Let's take one together! Please!

Sure!

Hey! One more! Now is

Hey. We have to start it now

or we won't have time.

Crap, that's right! An hour is 15,000 yen!

Shinju, camera!

Oh, yes!

-Oh, god! The 190,000-yen camera

-Oh, sh**t!

-Jeez! Be more careful!

-It's okay.
