Cosplay Event (2)
A few days later, the day of the cosplay event finally arrived.
"Mmmnn..."
The cosplay event opened to the public at ten, but cosplayers had to arrive between eight and nine to change inside the venue beforehand.
That's why we'd decided to wake up at seven this morning to get ready.
'I never even woke up this early when I had to go to school.'
If I could just sleep five more minutes, I'd feel completely refreshed.
"I'll get up right now!"
The Queen gently pushed me back down as I tried to rise.
"W-wait, won't I get banned from the platform for showing a womb tattoo?"
With no escape route left, I obediently lifted my shirt like a submissive puppy and showed her my belly. The smooth lipstick touched my skin. It tickled, but it also gave me this strangely arousing feeling.
Before long, the womb tattoo was complete once again. It seemed The Queen had gotten better at it—her heart shape looked even lewder than last time.
I naturally climbed onto her back. 'This feels so good...' How could her skin be this soft?
"It felt like something was being sucked out of my body... The pleasure was so intense I thought I might actually pass out..."
We sat down in the dining room and had a simple meal of French toast and soup.
"Aren't you going to cosplay too, Your Majesty?"
"Then this is completely my solo stage."
"..."
'I'm so fucked.'
I changed into comfortable loungewear and packed my cosplay outfit, makeup supplies, and everything else into a suitcase.
"I-It's fine, really..."
"Now I really feel like a celebrity. Should I prepare an autograph or something?"
I thought about it for a moment.
"How about 'Tteongi♡'? I can't think of anything cooler..."
After becoming a streamer, I gave the very first autograph of my life—in The Queen's notebook.
"I-It's not that good..."
When we stepped outside the mansion, the butler was already waiting for us in what looked like an eight-seater car.
"Thank you."
I sat next to The Queen in the back seat and secretly took her hand, trying to create a romantic couple vibe.
Our first stop was in front of Apple Fitness. We were supposed to meet Gaeun, the rest of the cosplay team, and Aram here.
"Hello! Tteongi and Short Hair Queen! Happy New Year~"
Aram climbed into the car first, beaming brightly.
"Tteongi~ I heard you're doing a fan meeting too!"
"Yeah, I even prepared autographs."
"C-c-could I get one too?"
"It's just a signature..."
I took a piece of paper from The Queen and signed it for her. When Aram saw the simple 'Tteongi♡' written on it, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Hic... I'll treasure it like a family heirloom."
"Y-you really don't have to..."
"Also, Tteongi! The Tteongma Gallery is going absolutely wild right now."
"Why?"
"They're having a very serious, formal debate about what cosplay you'll be wearing."
"..."
I turned on my phone and opened the community I usually visited.
Wow, so formal. While I was at it, I left a notice on the Tteongether community saying I was heading to the cosplay event right now.
"Tteongi, please just whisper it to me! I couldn't sleep because I was so curious about what you'll wear!"
"Why didn't you just ask me on KakaoTalk?"
"Pussy?!"
Aram seemed unusually excited today.
"The outfit I'll be wearing today..."
"Aaaah!! I don't want spoilers! I'll just see it later!"
"Make up your mind already."
A little while later, Gaeun arrived second.
"Hey everyone. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year to you too, Gaeun."
"Tteongi, you enjoyed your break, right? Time to start working out again~"
I was planning to end the fitness content soon.
"Working out never lasts more than three days for me..."
"Looks like Tteongi needs to be scolded."
"I agree. Go ahead and hit her."
"Y-Your Majesty?!"
The rest of the cosplay team members arrived one by one.
"Hi, Gaeun!"
"You should call her Eunha for short."
"Eunha~"
It felt like I was watching popular kids stealing an unpopular kid's catchphrase.
"Hello everyone~ Tteongi, you're as beautiful as ever."
"Thank you."
"Short Hair Queen, you're so pretty too!"
As expected from the popular crowd. The atmosphere turned warm and lively the moment they sat down.
"Don't we kinda look like an idol group right now?"
"Then Gaeun can be in charge of dancing."
Gaeun was chatting with the team members.
"Should I? Tteongi can be the leader and visual."
"But why am I the leader? Both for the cosplay team and everything else?"
Usually the oldest person becomes the leader, right? Anyone could see that Gaeun should be the leader.
"The youngest should do it. I've gotten another year older this year."
"..."
Gaeun suddenly looked incredibly worn out.
"A-age is just a number, isn't it?"
"There was a time when I thought that way too... sigh..."
"Hey~ The mood dropped because of Tteongi. Show us some aegyo! Aegyo!"
"What?!"
"Aegyo! Aegyo!"
What the hell? Why did the conversation suddenly turn this way...
"Kids, hold on. We'll make her do it after we get her dressed."
"Kyaa~ Okay, Gaeun!"
I'm so fucked.
We arrived at the venue where the cosplay event was being held. It was a huge exhibition hall similar to the one used for the game festival.
'It's finally here.'
The moment we arrived, the people near the entrance started murmuring as they looked at me.
"Whoa, look over there."
"Isn't that Tteongi?"
"The person next to her looks like Short Hair Queen."
"Wow, Tteongi looks insanely pretty in real life."
Gaeun seemed conscious of the stares too. She looked at me and said,
"Thanks to you two, I get to experience what it's like to be stared at like a celebrity."
"Ahaha..."
At that moment, a woman approached me and handed me a bag of snacks.
"T-Tteongi, I'm a fan. This is a gift."
"Thank you!"
She ran away in embarrassment before I could even finish thanking her properly.
"Whoa~ I'm jealous, Tteongi."
"I have female fans too?!"
"Yes! There are actually quite a lot of women who like you on NewTube."
Aram spoke with a proud tone.
"That's surprising..."
There were more cosplayers than I expected, so the line was quite long.
"There are so many people. Is the changing room going to be okay?"
"There are single-person changing rooms, but they're really inconvenient. Most people just change in the open like it's a bathhouse."
One of the cosplay team members answered.
"I see."
"But since Tteongi's here, it'll probably be different."
"Huh?"
When it was our turn and we received the cosplay registration form, one of the staff members looked at me and said,
"You're the streamer Tteongi, right?"
"Yes."
"Whenever someone as popular as you comes, we provide a separate waiting room to avoid any chaos."
"Really?"
Popular person? Have I really become that famous?
"Short Hair Queen is here too. Are all the others your acquaintances, Tteongi?"
"Yes."
Following the staff member, we arrived at what looked like a very nice waiting room. It had sofas and snacks just like a celebrity green room, multiple single-person changing rooms that could fit our entire team, and two makeup desks with large mirrors at either end.
"This is my first time in a place like this. It's fascinating."
"Right? We're totally riding Tteongi's coattails."
I grinned at Gaeun's words.
"Everyone, please enjoy the benefits of knowing me."
"Ooh~ So cool!"
"Tteongi is the best!"
I went into one of the single-person changing rooms, took off my loungewear, and hung it on the hanger. Since I was only in my underwear, I decided to check the womb tattoo.
"Hmm..."
Because of my huge breasts, it was hard to see, so I craned my neck to look down below my navel. The womb tattoo was glowing in a very vivid red.
'Can I really show this in front of people...?'
I struggled to pull on my knee socks and changed into the pink magical girl outfit.
When I came out of the changing room, everyone else had already changed and was waiting in the main area.
"You guys are so fast..."
"We're professionals. But more importantly, Tteongi, you look seriously beautiful."
Gaeun, who was wearing an orange magical girl outfit, said.
"H-how does it look? Does it suit me?"
I twirled my pink skirt once and struck a pose.
"I'm dead..."
Aram collapsed onto the sofa and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Wow..."
"As expected, Tteongi's on a completely different level from us."
"She really deserves to be the leader."
"Ahaha..."
Everyone was wearing colorful magical girl outfits in different colors so they wouldn't overlap.
"Is the exposure rule okay with this? It's sleeveless and shows a lot of my upper chest."
"Yeah, the rules got much more lenient starting this year, so it's fine."
Should I call this lucky or unlucky?
"Then Tteongi, I'll help you with your makeup now."
"Wait a second, Your Majesty."
I should get permission before turning on the stream.
"Um, everyone, would it be okay if I start my broadcast now? I want to gather some viewers in advance."
"It's fine, right guys? We've already changed anyway."
"Yeah, Gaeun. Thinking about appearing on Tteongi's stream again is kinda exciting."
I shook the half-dead Aram awake.
"Aram, I'll type in the ID, so hurry up and start the stream."
"My heart... won't stop..."
"If it stops, you're dead."
We decided that one of the makeup desks would be used by Gaeun and the cosplay team, while the other would be shared by me, The Queen, and Aram.
"Yes, everyone, please wait just a moment. I just came back from looking and all my energy got completely drained..."
"Aram, don't build up their expectations too much. It's getting stressful..."
I spoke while receiving my makeup, staying off-camera.
I spoke in the tone one would use to train a dog.
After finally finishing my twin tails, I stood in front of the camera.
"I can see the entire chat. Pay up."
"I'll take that as a compliment for now."
"I'm twenty-five."
After hearing the donation, I pouted my lips.
"No, I..."
Showing the womb tattoo on stream required a lot more courage.
"I-I don't want to show it. No, I can't show it..."
Donations both big and small kept pouring in.
"Aram, don't collapse like before and make sure you film properly."
"Yes!"
My fingers were trembling. Suppressing my overwhelming embarrassment, I lifted the hem of my sleeveless top and showed them the womb tattoo.
"..."
The chat exploded like a waterfall, flooding the screen at an insane speed.
