Compared to the praise on site, the atmosphere in the live stream room was much more chaotic. This is also a certain internet reality; the good aspects are amplified, and so are the bad. Many people go online with a sense of resentment.
Of course, the live stream room's state wouldn't affect Mo Yu's work, as he couldn't see it anyway. Besides, he was only offering a suggestion.
The subsequent free clinic was rather uneventful. After all, generally speaking, most people still have some resistance to seeking medical advice, and compared to the initial relaxed atmosphere, the later sessions were much more serious and solemn.
Of course, this made no difference to Mo Yu.
"Alright, today's free clinic ends here. Thank you all for your support, and I hope everyone stays healthy and enjoys the Anime Convention happily."
In a flash, it was already two or three in the afternoon. Mo Yu tidied up the site a bit and apologized to those still in line.
No choice, it was getting late, and he needed to make a run for it.
However, before he ran off, he still needed to take care of a personal matter, a human need. Uh, in Nahida's words, it was — to go to the toilet with gusto.
In fact, for cosplayers, it's best to avoid drinking water as much as possible at an Anime Convention. Usually, even if they drink, it's some kind of beverage, because — many cosplay outfits are truly anti-human. Male characters' outfits are generally okay, mostly just cumbersome and heavy.
But some female characters and those tokusatsu characters are very troublesome. If some want to go to the toilet, they even need to take off their entire costume.
However, Lingsha's outfit was relatively good; the downside was that it exposed quite a bit of skin.
It's just — although Mo Yu could guess that he would definitely receive a lot of attention, he didn't expect —
"Teacher, the women's restroom is over here."
Before Mo Yu even walked in, he heard a Sakura cosplayer next to him say.
"Hmm, I know, thank you."
Mo Yu returned a smile, but he still walked into the men's restroom — what nonsense, if he didn't go into the men's restroom, could he go into the women's restroom?
The Sakura cosplayer looked like she wanted to say something, then stopped. She reached out her hand, wanting to wave it, but then suddenly remembered something, her pupils constricted, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
No! Could it be... Of course, there were other cosplayers in the restroom, and even some male-presenting cosplayers. To be precise, as soon as he entered, Mo Yu ran into a male-presenting Firefly adjusting his wig in front of the mirror.
Hmm, compared to a female Firefly, he was taller but a bit too thin, rather lanky. However, it was clear he was trying his best to recreate the character.
This male-presenting Firefly was looking in the mirror when he suddenly caught a glimpse of an exquisitely beautiful face. He was also stunned, and then subconsciously said, "Sis, this is the men's restroom..."
"I know."
"..."
Compared to the Sakura cosplayer outside, this male-presenting Firefly's CPU was clearly several versions behind. At this moment, he was even more directly frozen in place, looking exceptionally adorable and completely speechless.
"Bro, you're a little cupcake too."
Mo Yu's lips curved into a mischievous smile, and he switched back to his natural voice, whispering into Firefly's ear. Of course, as mentioned before, Mo Yu's voice was a rather rare youthful one, so when he spoke, the other person became even more confused.
When Mo Yu came out of the restroom, he ran into an Alice from Sword Art Online, also a male-presenting cosplayer.
When this Alice saw Mo Yu, he was also stunned for a moment, then backed up a few steps suspiciously, looked up, and checked the sign above the restroom.
Seemingly disbelieving, he repeated this twice more, only then confirming that he hadn't gone to the wrong one. But this time, he looked back three times with each step, still gazing at Mo Yu's retreating figure with an incredulous look.
Then —
"Ouch —"
With a thud, two figures collided and both fell down. Alice had run straight into Firefly, who was coming out.
"Are you two alright?"
A gentle female voice sounded again. The male-presenting Firefly looked up blankly, only to see the Lingsha cosplayer leaning over, smiling with narrowed eyes, looking at him.
This appearance, this smile, immediately reminded him of Lingsha from the game.
That cunning feeling was exactly the same!
"So... sorry, bro... huh?"
Alice said, wincing in pain. He was wearing the Integrity Knight's armor, so he had many 3D-printed parts and some metal components on him, making the fall quite painful.
But when he followed Firefly's gaze and looked behind him, he too froze in place.
How to put it, the difference between male-presenting cosplayers was fully demonstrated at this moment. Obvious male outlines could be seen on both Alice and Firefly, but absolutely none on the Lingsha in front of them.
Makeup was one aspect, and the other was the underlying physique. The difference was too obvious.
Besides that, there was the voice.
Generally speaking, even when a male uses a falsetto, there will be distinct characteristics; that 'squeezed' quality, if heard often enough, can be distinguished. It's not a natural, soft breath.
But the voice of the person in front of him had no problems at all, even matching the character perfectly.
So, the conclusion was —
"Teacher, you... you..."
"What about me?"
Mo Yu put his hands on his hips and retorted, his voice once again returning to his natural tone.
"..."
The two exchanged glances. Finally, the male-presenting Firefly gave a thumbs up.
"Awesome."
Clearly, these two had not participated in the free clinic earlier. Of course, there's nothing remarkable about that; not everyone is interested in such stalls, and as for stage promotions? Not everyone goes to watch stage shows.
However, even though these two didn't know, that didn't mean others didn't... "Teacher Mulan?"
"Hmm?"
Mo Yu turned his head, only to see that the Sakura cosplayer from earlier hadn't left yet.
"Are... are you a boy?"
"Naturally."
Mo Yu had no intention of hiding his gender from the start. After all, if he were to keep cross-dressing and acting, to be honest, he was really a bit worried that the system might pull some trick.
"Wow —"
The girl's eyes widened, and her face turned red with excitement. Originally, she had only suspected, but now... it was directly confirmed, and others didn't know yet. This meant she had discovered a secret first.
It's just a pity... Teacher Mulan didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it.
But —
Mo Yu put his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture with a smile.
