Chapter Title: Cosplay Model Offer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The outfit is really pretty. Did you make it yourself?"
Seol-yun's comment made my eyes go wide.
She wasn't about to say something weird, was she?
"I bought it from a shop and had it altered."
"I see."
To come to a place like this, she had to be a hardcore otaku.
Having a total normie like Seol-yun mixed in had me on edge, worried some massive disaster might erupt.
Otaku are usually timid and quiet, but they turn ridiculously aggressive when their territory is invaded.
What if they blame me for bringing a normie?
What do you want me to do about it?
"Do they sell Venus cosplay at the shop? That's the character I like the most."
"!?"
"?!"
"!?!!"
"!!!!"
It was a bombshell that floored me, Nyangppong-i, and even her four bodyguard escorts.
Yeah, Seol-yun definitely gets how awesome Venus is.
But this could stir up some controversy.
I never inputted a command like that?
I'd set things up so Nyangppong-i would mistake Seol-yun for that floating anon 'ㅇㅇ' she'd fought with on the gallery, but I didn't expect her to charge in so boldly like this?
I didn't see it coming either.
I never imagined Seol-yun would say something like that!
Does she know something? No way.
Abso-freaking-lutely not!
There's no way she dug through my browser history or anything.
I keep my personal security airtight!
Because I browse stuff that'd have me hanging from a noose if my family found out.
Ack, that sounded weird.
Forget I said that.
"They probably sell it. It's pretty popular, after all."
What slipped from Nyangppong-i's mouth was basically unconditional surrender.
She must have convicted Seol-yun in her mind as that gallery fighter from before.
Abandoning the battle of wits and snide digs, she resorted to meaningless chatter.
In the face of overwhelming trade damage where she'd only hurt herself no matter what, she knelt before this violent genetic superiority.
Nyangppong-i's HP was already at zero.
I wanna rip A apart.
At that moment, an employee came running out from inside the theater we'd exited.
Spotting Seol-yun, she headed straight for us.
Seol-yun stands out like a lighthouse at sea, so she's easy to spot from afar in most cases.
"Excuse me. Are you interested in working as a cosplay model? We're holding a mobile game event in Japan. You heard it earlier, right?"
A sudden cosplay model recruitment pitch.
Inviting her all the way across the sea to Japan, no less.
They wouldn't make an offer like this unless they were seriously impressed.
"If you dressed as Venus and Saturn sisters, it would make such a beautiful picture, don't you think? You both seem so passionate about Magical Girls Chronicle!"
She wasn't just a regular staffer—she was a fan of the work too, judging by her enthusiasm.
This is gonna itch like hell.
Ignoring Nyangppong-i, who was blatantly cosplaying a Magical Girls Chronicle character, and scouting Seol-yun, who was dressed normally.
...Wait, am I part of the set menu too?
Seol-yun glanced at me.
No way, if I say OK, she'll actually go!?
Leaving my photo in the history books of Magical Girls Chronicle.
Insanely tempting, but no way.
Doing cosplay modeling in Japan—the epicenter of all pervy otaku culture—is way beyond my nerve threshold.
Who knows what kind of incident might happen.
"Sorry, I'm a college freshman, so I'll be super busy."
"We'll adjust the schedule and pay to suit you! Think of it as a free trip to Japan!"
"Sorry."
Confirming my expression, Seol-yun gave a firm rejection.
The staffer didn't give up after one refusal.
Only after Seol-yun made it clear there was no room for negotiation did she finally back off.
I get it.
She's talent you hate to let slip away.
After that little commotion, we parted ways with Nyangppong-i.
Having dealt her far more massive and fatal damage than expected.
She probably won't forget this humiliation for a long while.
The memory of being trampled by someone who has what she can never possess, the humiliation of being completely ignored by industry staff.
"Heh heh heh heh heh."
Feels good.
Too good.
Can't hold back the laughter.
As for Seol-yun's mysterious pro-Venus move and blatant Nyangppong-bashing...
Better not ask. Feels like something scary might come out.
"Um! Are you Jeon Jeonseol by any chance?"
Hieeek!?
Two shyly approaching guys.
I nearly flipped out in shock, but thankfully, they were asking Seol-yun, not me.
By canon, Jeon Jeonseol has massive boobs, and I'm not padded right now.
Pull the hat low, and the height difference auto-stealths me.
Most guys can't even see my face.
"What's a Jeon Jeonseol?"
"Ah! No, sorry!"
"You idiot. Obviously not. Look how tall she is."
"Sorry. I'm not a weirdo. Just mistaken."
"Yeah! It's fine."
Seol-yun knows my streams.
Feels a bit bad since I never told her myself.
But thanks for stopping me before I got blackout drunk and caused a huge scene.
Anyway, point is, there's no way Seol-yun doesn't know 'Jeon Jeonseol'.
She's got acting talent too! Should she be an actress?
That performance was spot-on for someone clueless about Jeon Jeonseol.
Even I, who knows the truth, almost bought it.
After the two viewers left, Seol-yun whispered in my ear.
"The disguise worked great, sis."
"Y-yeah."
And so, Mr. Kuroichi's signing event ended with my victory and a slight lingering unease.
Nyangppong-i's followers will have to endure her hysterics for a while.
And as a side effect, she'll start seeing Nyangppong-i as squid-like compared to before.
Dare to mock Venus and gang up on me? Die, trash.
That was my only thought from the start.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ 📰 Teamfight Arena Gallery Post [Author: ㅇㅇ] [Title: My story about going to Kuroichi's signing event hunting for Jeon Jeonseol] No one who looked like Jeon Jeonseol was there But there was this insanely pretty big sis Taller than me, but her face and proportions were superhuman—I thought she was a life-size figure at first Illustration come to life Her hair was silver with pink mixed in?

A crazy bastard hunting down a streamer who said not to look for her.
But communities have more than one or two weirdos.
The post got mass-flamed, deleted, and peaced out—or so it seemed.
📰 New Post [Author: ㅇㅇ] [Title: Is the pink-silver haired girl at Kuroichi's signing this person?] (Screenshot from Jeon Jeonseol's infamous drunk stream, capture of the girl who turned off the stream for her) Massive chest, distinctive figure.
