01x03 - Then Why Don't We?

[bunniefuu]

It's amazing!

I'm really happy with this!

You're really amazing, Gojo!

The size fits, right?

Yes, it's really perfect!

Now for the wig

Wait a second, Gojo.

-Yes?

-Actually

When I'm cosplaying, even my soul becomes

the character itself.

What?

Gojo

Mas

Master.

My

Look at the secret part of my body.

Look at it.

Please.

GOJO DOLLS

What a dream.

Look

Look the other way for a minute, will you?

-Good morning!

-Good morning!

What the heck was I doing in the morning?

After "that thing" happened,

I don't know how to face Kitagawa now.

Oh, Kitagawa.

Kitagawa is so cute as usual!

-Her legs are slender too!

-Good morning.

-I heard that she's working as a model.

-Hey.

She's built differently from us commoners.

I bet she's popular, right?

-You bet.

-I kind of want to date her.

It's kind of unbelievable

that she came to my home two days ago.

Come on. I've got to keep my cool!

Oh, Gojo!

Good morning!

Good morning.

Thanks for Saturday.

I'm so happy that I'm now

a step closer to becoming Shizuku!

I'm sorry.

What? For what?

Hey. How do I look?

I tried curling my hair today.

Well

Yes, it's curled well.

That's all you're going to say?

You're a funny one!

I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

Let me join too!

I see. She's Kitagawa's friend.

What's up? I'm Noa.

Good morning.

Good morning.

-What?

-Good morning.

Good morning.

I've been surrounded!

This is the first time

we're talking to each other.

-Nice to meet you.

-Oh, right! Nice to meet you!

-Do you want some candy?

-Thank you.

For real, what is this about?

What?

He looks so troubled.

Don't you feel bad for him?

Don't be too annoying.

He's not troubled!

That's right!

Anyway, vending machine, pronto.

The first period is about to begin.

Crap! You're right!

Later, Gojo!

Yes.

But I only have 1,000-yen bills.

Kitagawa still reaches out to me

even at school.

Hey, do you think

she's going out with him?

What? Not a chance.

They are just being friendly.

I guess.

Gojo!

Hey, hear me out!

-Today, after school

-I'm sorry. I have things to do.

Gojo.

So today

Toilet, right?

Gojo?

Gojo?

Gojo?

Gojo?

Gojo!

Gojo!

That was close. I almost missed you.

Kitagawa.

Hey, Gojo.

You want to go shopping with me now?

I want to check the materials

for the clothes at once.

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid I can't.

What? Wait!

Gojo?

This is the opposite way from the station.

I'm going to stay here for a while.

She went all the way

to ask me out, and yet

I'm sorry, Kitagawa.

If you're so sorry,

then don't run away from me!

Kitagawa? Why?

I can see you clearly out here.

Anyway

I see you've been

avoiding me today, right?

I can't stand that.

If you have a problem, then speak up!

That's

Kitagawa, the people around us think

that we're friends.

That's why

I'd better not be with you in public.

What are you talking about?

What?

Aren't we friends already?

But

I also heard them saying

that we're going out or something.

Really?

Then do you want to go out?

What? That's

Just kidding.

Come on.

Let's go, Gojo.

What? Where are we going?

Like I said, shopping!

WORLD'S HOBBY HOUSE

YUZAWAYA

They have a segment

exclusively for cosplay stuff, huh?

Yes. Everyone's doing cosplay

nowadays, like for Halloween.

I see.

Oh, right, Kitagawa.

Yes?

Take a look at this.

What? Oh, gosh!

I drew Shizuku

from three different perspectives.

We need a lot of stuff,

such as cloth, lace, ribbon,

artificial rose, shoes, wig, zipper,

colored contact lens, garter stocking,

and then

Wait! More like, amazing!

You drew this by yourself?

-Yes.

-It's amazing, really.

Isn't the skirt quite wide?

Yes.

I'm thinking of inserting a pannier

underneath to reproduce the look.

We don't have any choice

other than to buy the pre-made one.

Okay! Let's buy it!

Also, the shoes' design is kind of unique,

so I think it's better to buy them

at a specialist shop.

It's Gothic Lolita, right?

I'll look for it!

By the way

What about the choker?

I wonder if I can make it myself.

I think the Visual Key shop

should have one.

I'll look for it!

Please do.

Hey. This one looks good, right?

What do you think?

Well

I think this one is better.

What? Why? Is there any difference?

St. Slimy Academy

is a prestigious academy after all,

so Shizuku would wear

that kind of clothes, right?

Rather than using glossy materials,

I think it's better to use materials

that are a little thicker and heavier.

I see!

Oh, but it's much more expensive

than the one we saw before.

Oh, right!

I didn't plan to go shopping today,

so I didn't bring any money.

Oh, fear not, my friend.

Ta-da!

I've got us covered.

Use it as you like!

What?

As I like? I can't!

It's fine. Don't worry.

Besides, this is the money I've saved

from my part-time job for cosplaying.

But

If we don't use it,

it will be meaningless.

Okay, then.

Well, let's keep going!

I guess this will do for now.

Thank you for carrying my stuff.

Sure.

All right, then.

Let's go to Swallowtail next!

Swallowtail?

Once you go in, you'll be surprised.

It's really that good!

Okay.

Amazing.

Right? It's so colorful, isn't it?

I really like what's in here.

Yes, I can see that.

It's really amazing.

There are so many gradations

from a single color.

Each one of them is so pretty.

Gojo.

This one, right? Medium Black.

-Black?

-Yes.

Shizuku's hair is black,

so I'm thinking of buying this one.

Let's get this one instead, Kitagawa.

What? But isn't that purple?

Yes.

If you look at Shizuku's image color,

it's purple, right?

Her hair might be black at a glance,

but she has purple shading in her hair,

so I think this suits her more.

I guess!

So she's the type that never cares

about the details so much, huh?

That's why this black violet

or maybe this deep violet is better?

As for the hair length,

I think it's better to get the long one.

Why?

Shizuku's bangs are a bob,

so if we get the medium one,

the length wouldn't be enough.

Let's buy the long one

and cut it to adjust the length.

Okay! Then I'll ask someone

in the salon to cut it.

That's great.

If it's a professional,

I don't think there would be any problem.

Actually, I was planning

to go here alone today.

What?

But at the previous shop and this one,

I kept selecting the wrong ones.

Think about it, I was about to mess up.

I'm really glad that you're here.

Thank you.

Well then, I'll buy this one.

Okay.

I see.

So I'm

actually helpful.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I bought some colored contacts as well.

Oh, I'll hold that for you.

Oh, thank you.

Then next is

Garter belt and stocking.

Please come and take a look!

Kitagawa, how much longer would it take?

What? A little bit more.

Anyway, is it okay

for me to be here in the first place?

Should I get permission first?

There's no need for that!

But wouldn't it bother other customers

if there's a guy here?

Sometimes couples do come here,

so it's normal.

What?

I'm really embarrassed right now.

Please hurry up, Kitagawa!

This is bad, Gojo!

How is it?

Doesn't it look good?

I can see it! Please cover yourself!

Anyway, I guess this is a reward

for going out with me or something.

Or do you want something lewder?

Please don't tease me like that!

You're so loud.

Thank you for the food!

Come again!

It was so delicious!

Yes, I guess.

-A high school couple?

-Thanks for paying for my food.

-How nice. That's youth for you.

-I planned on it.

And here I am, still at work.

Oh, Gojo, how far is your progress

on Slimy Academy?

To be honest, I'm struggling with it.

Which part?

The morning assembly part

where the guy couldn't stop ejaculating

in front of every student.

-What did he just say?

-I'm not sure what to do.

It got me too!

That's some excitement, right?

What the heck are you laughing about?

Like, "What's happening

to my body?" or something.

Young people these days are very scary.

Well, I'll take your stuff

to my house, then.

Thank you.

And then we'll complete the pattern paper.

Really? That's great!

Once it's done,

I wonder where I should show it off.

Is there a place for that occasion?

Of course! There's an event where

cosplayers gather and do photo shoots,

reserve an amusement park

for large photo sh**t events,

rent a studio for photo shoots,

or do it at home for "Home Cosplay."

Oh, polaroid cosplay sounds good, too!

It really depends on the person

on how to enjoy cosplay.

I see.

Also, some people upload

their cosplay pictures to an SNS.

What? To an SNS?

It's pretty normal, you know? Look!

That's awesome!

I guess this was done in a studio.

It's so exquisite.

Did she also make the props herself?

She probably bought them.

Also, this person is called JuJu.

Isn't she cute?

I really like JuJu, you see?

Whether it's a Magical Girl

or an anime girl,

she really looks beautiful,

and her cosplay

and the picture quality are so high

that her follower count is skyrocketing!

But she rarely attends an event,

so it makes her mysterious

or makes you think, "Is she real?"

She looks so young. How old is she?

Well, I guess she's still

in middle school?

Or maybe in elementary school?

What?

Oh, this one!

Cosplay of Shion Nikaido from the Fierce

Flower Princess before she transforms!

I really like this!

She's so cute, it hurts me!

You really like black hair, huh?

You too, right?

Well, that's

Yes.

Oh, my!

This person is so good. Really pretty!

Oh, this person too!

Aren't there too many hot girls

cosplaying as hot dudes?

Oh, wow! This guy too!

You've been quiet for a while.

You think they're not pretty?

What? No, it's not like that.

Then what?

Well

I'm sorry if I ruined the mood.

GOJO DOLLS

You see,

I was an only child,

and the first time I saw a Hina doll

was at my grandpa's house.

GIRLS' DAY DOLLS

I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I thought, "I can't believe something

beautiful like this actually exists."

I was impressed by it.

It was as if it grabbed my heart.

And I thought to myself

that the word "beautiful"

was made for something like this.

From that day, I started using

the word "beautiful"

for something so special to me.

If it's not from the bottom

of my heart, I can't say it.

Really?

Hey, aren't Hina dolls

made to look beautiful?

You're only attracted

to physical beauty, huh?

It's not like that.

I'm sorry.

I can't express it well,

but it's not like

I'm rejecting your opinion.

If that's what you think,

then I guess that's fine.

Fussing over stuff

like that is important, right?

I fuss over stuff like that as well.

Like breast pockets?

Yes!

Oh, my gosh!

I definitely got to buy that!

That looks delicious!

You really don't want any, Gojo?

I would treat you, though.

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, I'm digging in!

It's so good!

She's still eating even though

we just had ramen earlier.

But it looks like

I've spent too much today.

I guess I'll find another part-time job.

I'll pay up for the ramen, then!

What? I told you it's on me.

You've been a big help today, after all.

But

Come on, it's fine.

How should I put it?

I was happy.

Even though I told people

it's a good game,

no one actually wants to play it.

Most of them would say,

"Nice game!" and that's it.

To be honest, I didn't think

you would play Slimy Girls.

Sorry for that.

And you even made a detailed sketch

for the costume, right?

You know better about clothing than I do.

That's why

I guess

I just wanted to show my gratitude.

To you, that is.

Not to mention, the only way

I can help you is to empty my wallet.

That's not true.

Also, this meat-wrapped

rice ball is delicious!

You should eat it too!

-What?

-Here!

Come on.

Indirect kiss?

No, thanks! I'm already full!

I really am full right now!

I see.

I'm sorry.

It's really delicious, though.

Were you thinking

that I actually eat a lot?

Not at all.

It's on your face!

So you were thinking that!

It's not like I'll get fat just by eating!

I don't change shape that easily,

so it's perfectly fine!

I told you, I wasn't! Not at all!

Also, I'm the type of person who can't

go on without rice as my fuel, okay?

Yes! I understand!

It's fine.

I'll be careful before the event.

I'll definitely protect my size.

Oh, right. When is that event?

What? Let's see.

Oh, there it is. It's two weeks from now.

Oh, crap!

Sorry, but I have to rush,

or I'll miss the train!

Thanks for today!

Later, Gojo!

Two

Two weeks from now?
