Chapter 83

“Wow, that outfit is really beautiful. Did you make it yourself?”

At Seol Yun’s words, I opened my eyes wide.

Did she just unintentionally say something strange?

“Got it from the shop and tailored it.”

“I see.”

Just being here means you’re a serious otaku.

It was somewhat nerve-wracking to think that a situation might arise because a regular person, Seol Yun, got mixed up in it.

Otakus are usually timid and quiet, but they can turn quite aggressive if their domain is attacked.

You’re wondering if I’m the one who brought this regular person, right?

What could I have done about it?

“Does the shop sell Venus cosplay outfits? I really like that character the most.”

“!?”

“?!”

“!?!!”

“!!!!”

All of us, including me, Nyangppungi, and her four guard warriors were completely surprised.

Yes, it’s evident that Seol Yun also appreciates the coolness of Venus.

But this could lead to some controversy.

I haven’t inputted any command like this, have I?

Nyangppungi probably misinterpreted Seol Yun as the anonymous user ‘Anonymous’ from the gallery where we fought earlier, but I didn’t expect her to come in swinging out directly.

Neither did I expect that.

I never imagined Seol Yun would make such a comment!

‘Does this person know something? There’s no way they should.’

Definitely! There’s no way!

There’s no chance she could have figured it out by searching through my internet browsing record.

I handle my personal privacy very thoroughly.

I often look at things that might cause me to have to hang myself if family members found out.

Oh, something absurd just slipped out.

Forget about that.

“Maybe they don’t sell them. There’s a lot of demand for those.”

From Nyangppungi’s mouth came a statement that was practically a surrender.

She likely became convinced that Seol Yun was indeed the gallery user we fought earlier.

Giving up on the battle of wills and counterattacks, she made a meaningless statement.

In front of the genes of overwhelming power, where any move would just result in self-damage, she knelt.

Nyangppungi’s HP is already at 0,

And I am tearing A apart.

At that moment, an employee ran out from inside the movie theater.

Seeing Seol Yun, the employee immediately approached us.

Because Seol Yun stands out like a lighthouse by the sea, she’s easy to spot from afar in most situations.

“Excuse me. Are you interested in working as a cosplay model? We’ll be holding an event related to a mobile game in Japan. You may have heard?”

A sudden offer to become a cosplay model.

One that even extends an invitation to Japan, across the sea.

They wouldn’t make such a suggestion unless they were genuinely impressed.

“Why wouldn’t it be incredibly beautiful if you dressed up as Venus and Saturn, sisters? Both of you seem passionate about Magical Girls Chronik!”

Since the employee wasn’t just a regular staff member but clearly a fan of the series, she was enthusiastic.

‘Wow, this might be a bit problematic.’

Here’s a situation—while Nyangppungi, who’s clearly dressed as a Magical Girls Chronik character, is being ignored, an invitation is extended to Seol Yun, who is dressed normally.

…Wait, am I meant to be part of the package too?

Seol Yun looked at me for a cue.

But surely, if I say yes, would she follow?!

The idea of my picture being included in the history of Magical Girls Chronik is incredibly appealing, but it’s still unrealistic.

In Japan, the hub of various eccentric otaku cultures, becoming a cosplay model is something I could never handle—it’s just too risky.

There’s no telling what kind of incident might occur.

“Sorry, I’m a university freshman and I’ll be very busy.”

“We can adjust the schedule and pay as needed! Think of it as a trip to Japan!”

“Sorry.”

Having confirmed my expression, Seol Yun firmly declined.

The employee, who wouldn’t give up after the first refusal, finally backed away only after Seol Yun clearly showed no room for negotiation.

I understand her reluctance.

She is undoubtedly a talent worthy of holding on to.

Thus, after a minor commotion, Nyangppungi and I parted.

Much more damaging and critical than expected.

She surely won’t forget this humiliation for a long time.

The memory of being trampled upon by someone possessing what she could never have, the feeling of being completely outcast from the industry workers’ perspective, all linger.

“Hah hah hah hah.”

How delightful.

Truly delightful.

I can’t stop laughing.

As for the mysterious Venus-friendly move and the direct trolling Seol Yun made…

Let’s not go there. Something horrifying might emerge.

“Excuse me, are you Sol?”

Yikes!?

Two young men approaching shyly.

Though shocked, I was relieved when I realized they were asking Seol Yun, not me.

After all, Sol is supposed to have a massive chest, and I’m not in disguise now.

By pulling my cap down tightly, I am somewhat hidden due to my height.

An average man would find it hard to make out my face.

“What’s Sol?”

“Ahhh, no!”

“Come on, it’s obvious she’s not what you’re looking for. Look at her height.”

“Sorry, I’m not that weird person. It was just a mistake.”

“Alright, it’s fine.”

Seol Yun knows about my broadcasting.

Though she hasn’t revealed it, I thank her for stopping me before I could embarrass myself in a massive accident.

Anyway, what I want to say is Seol Yun cannot possibly not know “Sol.”

‘She’s talent even in acting! Maybe she should consider becoming one?’

Her moment just now was convincing as if she truly did not know what Sol was.

Enough to even slightly fool me, who knows the truth.

When the two viewers had left, Seol Yun whispered in my ear.

“The disguise seems to be working well, sister.”

“Y-yes.”

The Kuroichi teacher’s autograph session concluded with my victory and a slight sense of unease.

Nyangppungi’s loyal followers will likely endure her hysteria for the time being.

And for some time, due to her humiliation, Nyangppungi may appear as a squid.

Dare to defile Venus and mob me, you trash, and you’ll be destroyed.

That was my thought from the start.

A post was uploaded on the Teamfight Arena Gallery, not the Cosplay Gallery or Magical Girls Chronik Gallery.

The post immediately received a lot of criticism after being published.

[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Reliving my experience at Kuroichi’s autograph session while looking for Sol]

[There was no one who looked like Sol,

But there was an incredibly beautiful sister there.

She was taller than me, and her face and proportions were superhuman, so when I first saw her, I thought she was a 1:1 scale figurine.

She was like a walking illustration.

Her hair was silver mixed with pink? A color that an ordinary person couldn’t pull off, yet she made it look insane.

The movie was fine.

I sort of understand why Venus is liked so much.

She’s beautiful, responsible, and fights well—there’s nothing but likability.

I’ll skip details to avoid spoilers.

And someone questioned the author in Japanese. Who’s that guy? lmao.

Wish he could speak Japanese well or something.

The author kept failing to understand and kept asking again. lmao.

There’s a perfectly functioning translator right there, and everyone’s asking in Korean—why is he solo-humiliating himself?

He seems mad. lmao.

I’m a bit disappointed not seeing Sol but overall, it was fun.

This is my verification shot with Earth.

(A selfie with a life-size Earth illustration panel and the writer, who appears to be over 180 cm tall.)]

–[Look at his proportions and his clothing. Why is this normal guy acting like this?]

–[Am I the only one taking this seriously?]

–[A stolen otaku.]

–[Was Sol a fake?]

–[‘Ni-se mono’ confirmed.]

–[I want the real thing.]

–[If Kuroichi’s signing session wasn’t attended, it might’ve been just a concept…]

–[Right. Lmao.]

–[Why do these guys do this? Stalker, maybe? Please leave the broadcasting at broadcasting alone and don’t escalate it.]

–[Can’t a fan search with interest?]

–[Aren’t you creeped out by people attending anime events they’re not interested in?]

–[Even if told not to search, they search with bloodshot eyes.]

–[The writer here is definitely at fault.]

–[Isn’t Sol meeting and deploying a smokescreen?]

–[If there’s no mention, it might pass by silently. Do you really have to scratch at the scab?]

This is rather unpleasant.

A broadcaster telling people not to search, yet these crazy ones insist.

But the community sure has its share of strange individuals.

While receiving a significant amount of criticism, the writer seems to have erased the post and disappeared, signaling the event to have concluded.

[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Is this pink-silver-haired woman who came to the Kuroich’s autograph session the person?]

(A screenshot of the female who turned off the broadcast during the infamous drunken episode of Sol’s black history.)

Her stunningly large bosom and distinctive figure.

Though only her neck-down is captured, her pinkish-violet hair falling to the side clearly stands out.

–[It looks like this woman.]

–[Did you not learn from earlier when she got scolded? Do you really want to be a stalker?]

–[I’m a Magical Girls Chronik fan, so this feels correct.]

Once again, the arena opens for battle and conflict ensues—aside from that.

Some testimonies confirm that this is indeed the person.

–[If this woman is Sol’s manager, was she a stand-in for Sol?]

–[There was a shorter woman next to her.]

–[Stop, you crazy people.]

–[Watch the stream, watch the stream…]

–[Please hold your breath for an hour.]

–[If you cancel the stream, you’ll be responsible for consequences.]

–[If she’s the shorter woman, that’s a bingo.]

–[But she didn’t have large breasts, though.]

–[?]
