[CHILDREN] Gojo and Marin,
tell the truth.

Are you dating?

[spit takes]

We want to know.

Whoa.

Are you good, dude?

Intense question.

In Nowa's defense,
everyone's been wondering.

You're together, like, 24/7.

Word on the street is
someone from another class

spotted you two at the summer
festival together.

For real?

Yeah, we were there.

It's a summer staple.

Get a grip.

A summer staple?

You know I'm all
about that crap.

No invite, bro?

That's like S-tier bonding.

Hey, answer me, man!

The answer is no! We aren't!

I mean, we hang out,
but no, we aren't dating.

[MARIN] Your costume

Let's find a towel.

Yeesh, that crowd was

Whoa.

Marin?

And I've been curious ever
since, so I gotta know.

Was that really--

I see. Well, it's not just
that it looks like glue.

And it sticks!

irritate your skin?

Well, it doesn't bother me,
but the proper stuff is better.

See, my bone structure
is different from a girl's,

so I do my best to change the
shape of my face using my wigs.

It's a trick I use
for all my close-up pics.

What? Show me.

I'd love to see them.

Sure. Here you go.

I've got nothing
to hide, so take a look.

[BOTH]
Wow.

What the heck?

You're too cute!

For real.

These are awesome.

Looking at it again,
is my pose unnatural?

Maybe it isn't girly enough.

Oh, it's defs girly enough.

See, I do the same pose.

Marin, you're gyaru.

It so suits you!

[GOJO] He uses the clothes
to change his body

shape and makes full
use of his skirt.

Sort of the opposite
from cosplaying a guy.

[MARIN] But once the mic's
in her hand, she never lets go.

Even on Halloween,
she wouldn't--

are you OK?

[AMANE] Wakana,
was there a weird picture?

Not weird, but mind blowing.

It's just this chest.

How did you do it?

Get a look
at those boobaronis.

Was it retouched?

Couldn't have been.
