"Gojo-kun?"
"Gojo-kun!"
Marin excitedly called Wakana's name. It seemed that just calling Wakana's name made her smile uncontrollably.
Wakana heard Marin's voice, quickly stood up from the cushion, glanced at Akira and Sajuna, nodded apologetically, and walked out of the room.
"Kitagawa-san, we're over here."
Marin hurried towards the room where Wakana was waiting and saw Akira and Sajuna inside.
"Akira-kun, Juju-sama, good afternoon."
Marin greeted them.
"Eh, Kitagawa-san, did you come with Shinju?"
Akira saw Shinju following behind Marin and asked.
"Older Sister, Akira-kun, I… I saw Marin-nee when I was rushing over, so I just followed along."
Shinju nodded, looking a bit embarrassed.
"So that's how it is."
Akira nodded, while Sajuna walked over, took Shinju's hand, and sat down on the other side.
"Gojo-kun, you're here to try on the cosplay outfits today, right!"
Kitagawa's eyes sparkled as she asked.
"Yes, Kitagawa-san's and Inui-san's cosplay outfits are all finished. We're just waiting for you to try them on to see if the sizes are right."
Wakana nodded. Akira then turned to Shinju next to him and said.
"Shinju, you weren't home this morning, so I brought your cosplay outfit too. Let's look at the results of the cosplay together today."
"Oh, thank you, Akira-kun."
Shinju thanked Akira with expectant eyes. Just by looking at her eyes, one could feel Shinju's happiness.
Akira shook his head, then handed a paper bag to Sajuna. Sajuna took it and pulled out the finished cosplay outfit.
"Wakana, are there any spare rooms?"
Akira asked.
"There aren't many rooms where you can change clothes."
Wakana scratched his head, looking troubled for a moment, then suddenly thought, "Akira-kun, do you also need to change into a cosplay outfit?"
"Me? I can go anywhere. Actually, when I made the clothes, I pretty much tried them on myself."
Akira waved his hand, then felt Sajuna grab the hem of his shirt.
Sajuna's lips moved, and then she looked at Akira with expectant eyes.
"I want to see Aki-Kun's cosplay."
"Alright."
"But let's wait until all of you have changed into your cosplay outfits."
Wakana took the finished cosplay outfits off the mannequins, tidied them up, placed them on the floor, and then prepared to leave the room to let the girls change.
Akira also followed Wakana out of the room. As he left, he didn't forget to tell Shinju how to wear the cosplay outfit.
"Shinju, remember to wear the sports bra first, then decide whether to use a chest binder depending on the situation…"
"Understood, thank you, Akira-kun."
Shinju nodded shyly, feeling that such a conversation was a bit strange, especially with her older sister right there.
Older Sister probably wouldn't pay too much attention to such chest-related issues…
Shinju thought this, then noticed that her older sister's eyes were almost devoid of highlights…
"Eh, Older Sister, what's wrong!"
Shinju quickly shook her older sister, who had turned into a gray statue, waking her from her state of despair.
The rustling sounds of changing clothes came from inside the room. Akira and Wakana stood in the hallway, waiting for the girls to finish changing.
"Wakana, have you decided to confess to Kitagawa-san?"
"Akira-kun really likes to focus on these kinds of questions."
Wakana rubbed his neck helplessly, but he was no longer embarrassed by such questions.
"I've already decided, but I don't know when would be the best time to say it."
"Since you've already decided, I won't offer too much advice. After all, I don't know how far your relationship has progressed."
Akira felt a sense of relief, as if a task had been completed.
"Akira-kun."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
Wakana bowed sincerely to Akira.
"You don't need to thank me so much. I just hope my good friends find happiness."
Akira felt like he should have a cigarette dangling from his lips at that moment, with the smoke enveloping his face as he finished speaking. That image would be truly memorable.
"After all, everyone instinctively protects beautiful things, Wakana, you're doing great."
The rustling sounds from the room soon disappeared, replaced by Marin's excited voice and Sajuna's shy tone.
"Gojo-kun!"
"Aki-Kun."
"You can come in now."
Akira and Wakana then pushed open the door and walked in.
As Akira entered, he saw Sajuna standing in the middle of the room, wearing a Nikaido Shion cosplay outfit. The dark purple velvet dress looked so luxurious on her, perfectly fitted and elegant, accentuating Sajuna's alluring figure with exceptional grace.
"Aki-Kun, does it look good?"
Sajuna's eyes were full of anticipation.
"It suits Sajuna perfectly."
Akira immediately nodded, and as if to prove his assessment, he circled Sajuna several times, meticulously observing the outfit Sajuna was wearing.
The girl's slender legs extended from beneath the skirt, her knees pressed together. It seemed even the cute posture of the young girl couldn't be hidden.
Seeing Aki-Kun's unwavering gaze on her, Sajuna's heart finally settled. Especially noticing that Aki-Kun hadn't secretly glanced at Marin next to them, Sajuna felt even happier.
If Akira knew Sajuna's thoughts, he would surely feel that Sajuna didn't trust him enough.
With a beautiful girlfriend right in front of him, why would he look at other girls? It wasn't as if he had to look just because a girl was pretty.
Akira adhered to what a boyfriend should do.
"Aki-Kun, quickly look at Shinju's clothes!"
Sajuna, seeing only herself in Akira's eyes, suddenly became shy. Her younger sister and others were still there, after all.
"Oh, oh."
Akira then looked at Shinju standing next to them. Shinju was wearing the modified school uniform Akira had made, and she looked tall and handsome.
The combination of the sports bra and chest binder made Shinju's chest appear mostly flat, only making one marvel at the greatness of humanity.
The shoulder design made Shinju's shoulders look even and much more spirited.
However, due to the lack of a wig and makeup, when one saw Shinju's shy cheeks, the overwhelming maternal and gentle aura completely shattered the coolness brought by the attire.
"Akira-kun."
Shinju looked at Akira in front of her.
"It suits Shinju very well, it's just that you don't have a wig or makeup yet, so…"
Looking at Shinju's curious eyes, Akira continued, "I still feel that Shinju is a gentle girl; it's hard to see her as a male character."
