"I know, I'm just reminding you, just in case." Eri then asked, "By the way, who are you?"
"I am now the Witch of Greed, Echidna~" Lilith stuck out her pink little tongue, deliberately acting cute.
Seeing this scene, Tsutsumi Toyo couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea: "Ugh—"
"Trying to pick a fight again? Let's go back to the dorm and talk then. I'll be happy to oblige." Lilith put the lollipop back in her mouth. "The only task for today is to have fun."
"No. It's just an instinctive feeling of nausea." Typhon took the tissue his sister handed him and wiped his mouth.
Lilith generously expressed her understanding: "It's understandable that you're wary of your competitors."
Because the rented dressing room was so big, everyone could find a place to sit in twos and threes, and most of the people around them were people they knew.
Strangely enough, most of the ladies present were somewhat aware of Mochizuki Oboro's personality, so they weren't too surprised by what they were seeing.
People like Mary, who are more outgoing, are already socializing everywhere. As the student council president, she is quite well-known and can chat with almost anyone, making her a kind of second social center.
As for the first one...
Renis pulled out a set of casual sportswear and handed it to Mochizuki Oboro with a grin: "Want to try it on?"
This iconic outfit has only been seen on one other anime character: Subaru Natsuki.
Epsilon flashed a red light: "No way, today is my and my sister's film set, brother!"
Rene said, "Can't we divide it equally? We have a lot of people here too."
By bringing Mochizuki Oboro to her own set and engaging in subtle interaction, Reines aimed to further understand and test Eri's bottom line—this was her plan.
“My brother made an appointment with us first.” Ipsilon puffed out her cheeks, like a mother hen protecting her child behind her, facing the eagle alone.
Castor, who simply closed his eyes, casually added, "It's cold here too."
Of everyone present, she was the only one from the set of "Violet Evergarden," which was truly tragic.
“It’s alright, it won’t be cold once we go inside.” After answering, Reines turned to look at Epsilon: “You’re not acting like Rei Ayanami at all, your emotional fluctuations are too obvious.”
“No, very Rei Ayanami,” Erise retorted, “because her only purpose is to protect Shinji Ikari.”
Aside from Mochizuki Oboro, Erise had the highest concentration of anime fans at the event. I grew up watching anime with someone every day when I was little, and over time I've accumulated quite a bit of anime knowledge.
"What a wicked sophistry..." Lenis frowned, unable to find a way out of the impasse for the time being.
Lilith, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, jumped off the back of the sofa and snapped her fingers.
"I have an idea."
Lilith made a gun gesture with her left hand and beeped at Mochizuki Oboro: "Just rub your eyes when you need to change sets."
“They might not understand.” Erise unscrewed the cap and took a sip of water. “For example, Reines doesn’t even know who Otto is.”
Lilith looked helpless: "That's how it is with being a 'normie'; you can just play any role you want."
In terms of compatibility, she's no less impressive than Erise. Her compatibility with Mochizuki Oboro isn't just talk.
"Aren't you a successful person?" Eri sighed. "Being good-looking and having a fulfilling life means that the people you like will reciprocate your feelings."
"Ah~" Lilith smiled playfully: "I'll unilaterally declare myself a 'real-life person' when I'm no longer single. Right now, I'm just an otaku."
at the same time.
The other side of the exhibition hall.
Dr. Roman, who held a VIP ticket, passed through security early. Spending a little more money was nothing compared to getting to Magic?Merry's seat as quickly as possible.
Fan masks, designated light sticks, and a Magic?Merry custom badge that only a very small number of core fans can obtain.
Everything reflects his powerful support.
To Dr. Roman's great surprise, other fans had arrived at the scene even before him.
"Nice to meet you~" The handsome young man with white hair immediately noticed the badge on Dr. Roman's chest: "Are you a fan of Magic? Merry?"
“That’s right.” Dr. Roman also noticed the custom badge on the young man’s chest, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears. “You’re a fellow enthusiast? I heard that Ms. Meryl will be coming to the event in person. You must have been waiting for this exciting moment as well, right?”
"Well," Merlin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm her brother. Due to health reasons, Merlin couldn't be here today, so I'm handling the comic convention arrangements on her behalf."
This is a lie.
While he does have a sister named Merlin, "Magic? Merlin" is actually a virtual YouTuber account run by Merlin himself. He has absolutely no relation to his sister Merlin.
A voice changer, a suit, and subtle answers to fans' questions and expectations—that's all Merlin does.
No one expected that the real operator was Merlin. The same was true for Dr. Roman.
Upon hearing that Dan Tui was unwell, Dr. Roman immediately asked with concern, "Is it serious? Will it affect your normal life?"
"I'll be fine after a few days of rest. I'm very sorry I can't meet the expectations of all my fans."
The scumbag older brother was very satisfied. He only liked things that were "fun." Teasing fans was clearly one of them.
not far away.
Tiamat was completely confused: "That booth is for virtual... idols?"
Sha Tiao 7 23 Ling Temple (9) Weeping III Si y/*ue-Already Love Song thoughtfully explained: "Yes. 'Magic Merry' is a very popular virtual idol, known for her unusual and unconventional thinking and interesting remarks."
“There’s so much fake stuff online. The person behind it might actually be a man…” Tiamat felt a sudden, inexplicable fear: “Oboro probably doesn’t like these things, does she?”
"No, please don't worry," Aika Sajou reassured her. "Mochizuki-kun's interests are all perfectly normal."
That's what she said, but in reality, Sajou Aika would accept whatever Mochizuki Oboro liked.
"That's good." Tiamat breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.
……
Performance art.
Sometimes it's popular, sometimes it's profound, and sometimes it displays a kind of madness that ordinary people can't understand.
A chair and a speaker.
"I know, I know I've let you down. I've been a fool to myself
"I thought that I could live for no one else. But now, through all the hurt and pain
"It's time for me to respect..."
"Come On, Sweet Death," one of the most famous insert songs in EVA.
Among its fans, it also has a more well-known nickname: Orange Juice Diva.
Sitting in the chair, Oboro Mochizuki was wearing the same headphones as Shinji Ikari, with her hands on her knees and her head buried in her arms, looking like she had autism.
Rei Ayanami's version of Epsilon moved her feet and placed a bottle of orange juice with pulp on the ground.
Asuka's version of Tsutsumi also makes an appearance, but what she gives Mochizuki Oboro is a famous photo of "Hospital, Ward, Asuka".
Because the scene was so hilarious, many visitors to the anime convention took out their phones to take photos.
“Sir Tristan, that’s…” Gawain, who had just arrived at the comic convention, stumbled upon this strange sight.
“It’s Mochizuki-kun.” Tristan glanced at the chair in his hand, then at Gawain. “In that case, let’s all come at him together.”
Why let such a golden opportunity slip by?
Since it's performance art, adding another stroke wouldn't hurt.
Following Shinji Ikari, who has autism, Eren and Reiner have also joined the battle.
With his long hair flowing down his shoulders, Allen, playing Tristan, quietly looked at Reiner, playing Gawain, and softly spoke:
"Please sit down."
Veteran actor Gawain immediately recreated the scene from the anime, his pupils shrinking as he nervously sat opposite Tristan, looking extremely apprehensive.
The passing tourists burst into laughter, and even more people took photos, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
Because the three cosplayers were all of very high quality, the number of people gathering around them increased significantly, surpassing that of many official booths.
The last person to complete the puzzle also arrived at the scene.
Mandecardo, dressed as Hachiman Hikigaya, squeezed into the scene.
Dead fish eyes. Dark and damp.
Most importantly, their facial features and temperament are extremely similar.
"like!"
"Is that really me?!"
Such exclamations of amazement were heard repeatedly.
Mandecardo ignored everything, sitting opposite Mochizuki Oboro with his head down, and in less than a second he switched to a dark, otaku version of Hikigaya Hachiman.
As originally planned, Mochizuki Oboro only invited his friend Mandecardo. The appearance of Tristan and Gawain was something he hadn't anticipated.
Many memorable moments are due to chance, and the current situation is no exception.
And so, a performance art piece was completely accomplished.
The area was packed with tourists, and the booths of the professional cosplayers hired by the organizers were deserted as everyone just wanted to take pictures of the hilarious scene.
Typhon tugged at Ypsilon's sleeve: "His charm seems to be used in a strange way... Why are you taking pictures too?!"
“Sister, you don’t understand.” Ipsilon held up her phone: “You can come to the comic convention again, but it’s hard to have a second chance for something like this.”
……
At 11:00 a.m., Mochizuki and the others arrived at the lounge they had reserved in advance.
The tourists were so enthusiastic that he and Mandicardo sat for the entire morning, and their buttocks started to ache.
Tristan and Gawain were completely surrounded on the set of Giants. Putting their behavior aside, their good looks were also undeniable.
Mandicardo, who was cosplaying for the first time, never expected to be so popular. There were so many Oregairu fans wanting to take photos with him that he couldn't get out anytime soon.
Oboro Mochizuki almost suffered the same fate. However, after seeing him being pulled away by Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu respectively, the voices at the scene turned into the fury of the FFF group in an unusually unified manner.
"So tired..." Mochizuki Oboro lay slumped on the sofa.
Epsilon obediently lay down beside the sofa and began massaging Mochizuki Oboro: "How's the pressure?"
"How cunning!" Tifeng quickly added one more, occupying the ecological niche on Mochizuki Oboro's legs.
Seeing this, Erise teased, "Oh~ Rei Ayanami or Asuka, which one would you choose, Shinji Ikari?"
Judging by the time, it should be soon. Eri thought.
Lilith unwrapped the bread and held it to Mochizuki Oboro's lips: "Fill your stomach."
Kiyohime picked up the drink and knelt down beside the sofa armrest: "This should relieve fatigue to the greatest extent possible."
What an extravagant scene!
Eri Se couldn't hold back any longer.
Three, two, one...
"It's mom!"
Tiamat suddenly pushed open the door to the lounge, her face beaming with a smile: "Surprised? It's okay, feel free to be cute!"
"Oops." Sajou Aika tactically took a half step back.
that's terrible.
Or rather, it was simply the worst time.
Typhon and Epsilon were getting a massage, Lilith was holding bread, and Kiyohime was handing out drinks—it was all rather unclear.
It wasn't just the girls around the sofa who were stunned.
And Tiamat.
Brain short circuit.
Give up thinking.
get conclusion.
"My child has gone astray..."
Tiamat suddenly went black and passed away.
