Rebirth of COSPLAY

Last night, Jiang's father had informed Mr. Mizuki in advance, so this morning, Mr. Mizuki drove the two of them directly to the cosplay event site.

"Unexpectedly, the two of you also like cosplay," Mr. Mizuki said when the car was driving on the road, "I have a friend whose child also likes cosplay." After a pause, he recalled, "China She also went to the COSPLAY contest before."

"International cosplay competition?" Xiao Ze asked in surprise.

Mr. Mizuki nodded with a smile and said: "It should be, I don't know much about this. After she came back, she told her father that there is a coser she likes very much."

"What's your name?" Xiao Ze asked with interest.

Mr. Mizuki shook his head helplessly: "I don't remember, it should be the champion."

Xiao Ze turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng and laughed "hehe" twice, Jiang Sheng curled his lips and rubbed his head.

Regarding the specific details of today's cosplay event, Xiao Ze went online after returning to his room last night.

COSPLAY activities are held in a square.

There will be a stage in the center of the square, and COSERs who come to participate in the event can volunteer to join the competition.It can be a group or an individual. After today's event ends, the event party will select the champion, runner-up and third place in the individual competition and team competition respectively, and distribute trophies and bonus gifts, etc.

But this activity is not based on competitions, otherwise it would be a pure COSPLAY competition.

Like this small competition, it also attracted everyone, as well as peripheral and fanbook sales, famous coser autograph sessions, COSPLAY club exhibitions, etc.Because it is mainly cosplay, there are not many booths for peripherals and fanbooks, and only one-fifth of the space around the stage is occupied.Those famous COSERs who come to the scene do not have any venue restrictions, they can communicate with other COSERs, and they can also take photos and sign autographs with FANS.The most important thing in the surrounding venues is the community exhibition.

Because the space is limited, there are only about ten clubs.Most of them are Japanese COSPLAY clubs, only three or four are from abroad.One of them is Chinese.

However, Xiao Ze watched it for a long time, but still had no impression of that club.

"There are many such activities in Japan, so Xinghua and the others don't pay much attention to them. After all, clubs like LING are still focusing on competitions at this stage, and Jiuyue should be the same," Jiang Sheng said. Those who will pay attention to this kind of activities and apply for venues are all clubs that have been transformed. This Northern Lights club is an old club, and now it mainly accepts the work of official stage plays.”

Xiao Ze nodded and sighed, "It's more like a COSPLAY exchange meeting than an event."

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and there were already a lot of people in the square.Everyone is wearing costumes, holding props, wigs, and makeup.Even though it may not be professional, and some people's makeup is a bit inappropriate or messy, but at least everyone has great enthusiasm for cosplay.

Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng walked around the square side by side, occasionally looking at the surroundings and fanbooks, and most of the time they picked up the camera to take pictures of the cosplayers around them, and the cosplayers would pose in classic poses of their characters in front of the camera.

Because it was 2042, Xiao Ze hadn't read many anime and novels yet, so most of the people around him couldn't recognize the COS character Xiao Ze.At this time, he will inevitably feel sad.

When he participated in various comic exhibitions in his previous life, he was very familiar with the cosplay characters he passed by. "Naruto", "Death", "Tutor", etc... Every time he sees his favorite characters, he will be very excited.But in this era, there are only a few domestic animation characters that he is familiar with, and he doesn't even know Japanese manga at all.

Occasionally, I get excited when I see the gorgeous costumes and powerful props of those cosplayers around me, but I don’t have the satisfied feeling of my previous life, and more often I feel at a loss.

This feeling was never experienced before.

Whether it’s watching LING’s performances or visiting domestic comic exhibitions, because the domestic animation industry has become very strong, there are not many COSERs around.

As they walked, Jiang Sheng was the only one still holding his camera to take pictures, and Xiao Ze had already put down the camera before he knew it.

Sensing that Xiao Ze was not in the mood, Jiang Sheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ze shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm tired from filming, you can continue filming."

Raising his eyebrows, Jiang Sheng didn't say anything, and continued to take pictures.

The famous COSER invited by the event party will have a badge on their chest with their CN name written on it.

Almost all of these cosplayers were heavily surrounded, and wherever they went, the fans followed.Following them, in addition to fans, there are guards.

The FANS worked hard, the guards had to work even harder, desperately squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and pulled away the FANS who had already signed their autographs and took photos but still dragged the coser and refused to let them go or directly hugged them.

Many COSERs can still maintain a smile when they see the fans, but the corners of their mouths twitch when they see the guards.

Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng stood outside the encirclement, in amazement.

Suddenly, Xiao Ze's shoulder was bumped.

Staggering back two steps and standing still, I heard a girl speak a few words in Japanese hastily.But other than "I'm sorry", Xiao Ze didn't understand anything else.

Xiao Ze looked up and was stunned when he saw the other party.

The other party should be a girl.

The girl was wearing a black hoodie and was holding a prop gun in her hand.The chest of the black hoodie is a very obvious five-person logo.The black broken hair is a bit messy, and the makeup on the face makes the line outline a little firmer, not too feminine.

Xiao Ze was dumbfounded for a long time, and stammered: "...Cheng, Chengfeng?"

The girl was stunned.

The big and bright eyes blinked, and stared straight at Xiao Ze for a long time... The girl covered her mouth in surprise, pointed at Xiao Ze, and said excitedly, "Mr. L! Mr. L!"

Jiang Sheng put down his camera and walked over, and said something in Japanese.

The girl was interrupted by Jiang Sheng, and she looked dazed for a few seconds.Turning her head to look at Jiang Sheng, she stayed for a while, she became even more excited, her face flushed red!

Xiao Ze: "..."

Jiang Sheng: "..."

Xiao Ze whispered to Jiang Sheng, "...I didn't even know there were fans of mine here in Japan."

Jiang Sheng laughed: "Very happy?"

Xiao Ze stared at him and said, "Of course!"

The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, so excited that she didn't know what to say. She spoke a few words in Japanese intermittently, and suddenly realized that Xiao Ze couldn't understand, so she covered her mouth.After calming down for a few seconds, she hesitated to speak, and whispered in relatively unfamiliar Chinese: "I, have read your works, and I really like them!"

Xiao Ze looked at Jiang Sheng, and smiled at him.

Xiao Ze smiled and said to the girl, "Thank you!"

The girl quickly flipped through her bag, fiddled with it for a long time, and found a photo album.As soon as Xiao Ze saw the cover, he knew it was the competition album released after the international cosplay competition.It seems that this girl also went to China to watch their game.

The girl turned to the page where Xiao Ze's cosplay was popular.

On the screen, Xiao Ze was sitting on the stage. It was supposed to be a group photo of everyone at the last second of the final, but because it was a close-up of a single person, only the hands on his shoulders and head could be seen.But although he couldn't see the people around him, anyone who saw this photo could imagine the warm and happy feeling when he was surrounded by many people.

The girl handed the photobook and a pen to Xiao Ze, looking at him expectantly.

Xiao Ze was stunned, then happily took it, and signed a big "RE-L" on it.

The girl said "thank you" in Japanese, then took the book back, flipped through it, and took out a sandwiched poster from the middle of the book.

Xiao Ze was surprised when he saw the poster.

He remembered that this cos photo was the first cos photo he saw when he first came to this era—the first cos photo of Jiang Sheng, "SATAN".

Jiang Sheng was also obviously taken aback when he saw the poster.

Taking the pen handed over by the girl, he stared at the poster, pursed his lips, and signed the word "Yue Cheng" gracefully.

The girl bowed excitedly and said "I like you very much", "Thank you" and "Please come on" in broken Chinese, before leaving after a long time.However, this appearance also made Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng attract the attention of many cosplayers.

Xiao Ze dragged Jiang Sheng to a place where there were few people.

"By the way, when did you release that cosplay?" Xiao Ze couldn't help asking.

"Two years ago," Jiang Cheng smiled softly, scratching Xiao Ze's nose, "I remember the first Xiao Ze came to me with this poster at the beginning of school, but a week later But he asked blankly if the cosplayer in this cosplay photo was me."

"So you already knew something was wrong with me?!" Xiao Ze glared at him.

"I told you before." Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I thought you lost your memory."

"My roommate has amnesia... are you so calm?" Xiao Ze was depressed.

"Because I like you like this," Jiang Sheng stopped, held Xiao Ze's hand, looked at him and said softly, "Because I like you like this, so I don't want you to disappear, even if I know it shouldn't, it's wrong of."

Xiao Ze was slightly distracted by Jiang Sheng's gaze.

"...But I don't have amnesia."

"Yes," Jiang Sheng smiled, leaning down slightly, he whispered in Xiao Ze's ear, "I love you, Xiao Ze."

Xiao Ze took a deep breath, grabbed Jiang Sheng's hand, and pulled him to an inconspicuous little foot by the side of the square, and circled behind a tree.

As if he knew what Xiao Ze was going to do, as soon as he stopped, Jiang Sheng cupped Xiao Ze's face and kissed it.

The COSERs in the square kept walking and taking pictures.

The stereo next to the stage played passionate anime songs.

The bright summer sun shines on the earth, and the atmosphere of the square seems to be ignited suddenly!

Xiao Ze heard a Japanese male voice from behind.The Japanese said a lot of words, and many people cheered.

Xiao Ze didn't want to deal with anything at first, but when the phone in his pocket vibrated, he just touched the button and pressed it, but within ten seconds, the phone vibrated again.

Xiao Ze pushed Jiang Sheng away, took out his phone depressedly, and was surprised to find that the call was from Li Chengran.

He picked it up suspiciously, before he had time to say anything, he heard Li Chengran shout excitedly: "Xiao Ze!! Xiao Ze!! Did you hear that!! It's you over there!!"

"……it's me……"

"Aww!! Xiao Ze!! Did you know that the editor submitted an application for the official stage performance of "Urban Nightmare", and the application has been approved!! The next step is to recruit cosplayers! And the editor said that the script of this stage play can let me do it Write!!"

Xiao Ze was stunned.

"Xiao Ze," Li Chengran took a deep breath and said, "Come and act in my stage play!!"

When Jiang Sheng dragged him to the item store on the edge of the square, Xiao Ze was still a little dazed.

The surprise came too fast, and he didn't realize it all at once.

Jiang Sheng spent a long time picking out an outfit for Xiao Ze.

Knowing that Xiao Ze hadn't read any Japanese manga, Jiang Sheng chose an anthropomorphic animal costume for Xiao Ze.Put on a fluffy coat, small cat ears and a curly cat tail, even the staff next to them hold their faces and say "kawaii".

Xiao Ze stared at Jiang Sheng, and found an anthropomorphic costume from the pile of clothes, and put it on Jiang Sheng himself.

After putting it on, a handsome... big bad wolf appeared.

Xiao Ze laughed out loud, and couldn't help taking several photos of Jiang Sheng before putting on makeup, and then asked the people around him to borrow a makeup box to help Jiang Sheng and himself put on makeup.

Clothes and props are available for purchase here.

After everything was done and the money was paid, a little cat and a big bad wolf walked out hand in hand.

All the people around turned their attention to them.Because most of the people in this square are COS of anime characters, there are animal anthropomorphisms, but no one has ever seen two people in a group who are all animal anthropomorphisms, and they are all so... cute and handsome!

Immediately, many girls screamed, and the camera pointed at Jiang Sheng and Xiao Ze and began to "click" and "click" to take pictures.

Seeing that someone was already performing on the stage in the middle, Xiao Ze grabbed Jiang Sheng's hand and said expectantly, "Let's go up and have fun too."

Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded.

After the performance of the group on stage was over, the host asked in Japanese: "Are there any cosplayers who want to try?" Xiao Ze pulled Jiang Sheng, and the two ran to the stage.

The host was stunned, then smiled and gave them the stage.

Because there was no rehearsal in advance, and the performance was just a whim, so they chose a special form-the two of them posed various poses on the stage.

The animation music on the square continued to play, Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng kept changing poses, because it was not a catwalk show or a drama performance, this kind of cosplay made the interaction between the audience and the two closer.

The people in the audience were desperately taking pictures, and there were screams!

When Xiao Ze changed his posture to sit cross-legged on the stage, Jiang Sheng hugged his neck from behind him.A warm.The ambiguous movements made countless girls in the audience scream!

Jiang Sheng lowered his head, Xiao Ze leaned his head towards him with a bright smile on his face.

Jiang Sheng kissed Xiao Ze's ear and said a word.

The audience was noisy and noisy, and the animation songs played by the speakers agitated people's eardrums.

Even so, Xiao Ze heard that sentence clearly.

"Next year, join me in the World Cosplay Competition."

The author has something to say: the text is over, dear friends~~

There should be two episodes, not too many. When the winter vacation breaks open for classmate Xiao, we can still see the figures of Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng~
