Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

Because Kitagawa was holding her right hand, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't play on her phone, and her attention naturally fell on the girl's soft hand.

Her skin was snow-white.

Long, slender fingers.

Her nails were also very long and studded with rhinestones, making no attempt to hide her sexy aesthetic.

Seeing this, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly felt an impulse.

These nails are so beautiful, I really want to cut them.

"looking at what?"

Kitagawa Kaimu asked in a low voice.

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "Trim the kitten's claws."

"..."

Speechless all the way.

"Akihabara, here we come!"

Natsuki Amamiya and Kitagawa got off the train and were in front of Akihabara Electric Town.

As the world's most famous anime and manga street, Amamiya Natsuki saw a cosplayer walk past her as soon as she got off the bus.

Blue and silver armor, long golden hair, and a single ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) swaying in the wind—it was none other than our King Saber. Unfortunately, what she held in her hand wasn't the Sword in the Stone, but rather a baguette of fried noodles.

"My king is incredibly handsome, I can't take it, I love it so much!" Kitagawa Kaimu put her hands behind her back, looked up, and asked, "What do you think of me cosplaying as Saber?"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze was subtle: "Thinking about it carefully, you do have one big thing in common."

"Hey, what is that?"

"They all have a big appetite."

"..."

Chapter 183 The Rise of the Stick Hero

"This is the store." Kitagawa Kaimu walked ahead. "They have a wide variety of clothes, and the workmanship is exquisite. They can also customize clothes."

Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the shop in front of her: "Do you come here often?"

"I've only been here once. I mentioned before that I wanted to cosplay Shizuku, and I came to ask about the price of custom-made clothes, but they were too expensive, so I was planning to make my own clothes." Kitagawa Kaimu clenched her fists, her eyes bright. "You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, so I must do my best to achieve the goals I set and leave no regrets."

This blonde girl is a super action-oriented person; if she wants to do something, she will really work hard to do it.

"welcome……"

A hollow, eerie voice echoed from the dark corner.

"good afternoon."

Kitagawa Kaimu answered instinctively.

next second.

A malevolent spirit, shrouded in black aura, with hollow eye sockets and still wearing an employee uniform, staggered forward.

"You...can see me!"

"Eh eh eh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was startled and quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's arm.

Evil spirits, begone!

Amamiya Natsuki decisively activated her aura, instantly igniting the evil spirits of the overworked office worker.

It's already become an evil spirit, yet it's still saying "Welcome" at the door. Hurry up and become a Buddha and be reincarnated!

"That scared me to death." Kitagawa Kaimu clutched his chest and let out a long sigh of relief. "He actually spoke from behind the door, Sixth Brother, that's too insidious!"

Amamiya Natsuki frowned and said:

"Don't answer before you've clearly seen who's speaking."

If that blonde girl had come alone, she would be in danger now.

“Because Natsuki is here.” Kitagawa Kaimu stuck out her pink tongue. “If you weren’t here, she definitely wouldn’t be careless.”

Amamiya Natsuki squinted: "I have my doubts."

"..."

"Hello, welcome."

A sales assistant came up to us with a standard and appropriate smile.

"stare--"

Kitagawa Kaimu opened her eyes wide and scrutinized the saleswoman in front of her.

“It’s confirmed.” Kitagawa Kaimu nodded. “It’s a living person.”

The saleswoman's ears twitched slightly, and she suddenly felt a little nervous, her smile involuntarily stiffening.

What does "living person" mean?

We're a legitimate clothing store, how could there be a dead person there?

"Good afternoon," Kitagawa Kaimu greeted, a bright smile on her pretty face. "Do you have any Shizuku's uniform?"

"...Shizuku?"

“Shizuku Kuroe.” Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip and said in a clear voice, “The Shameful Club of the Young Ladies at the Wet Girls’ Academy.”

Amamiya Natsuki silently took a half step back.

There's nothing wrong with girls playing visual novels, but there are very few girls who can openly admit it without any shame.

Clearly, this is true love.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." The sales assistant's smile almost stopped. "Let me check for you."

After a while.

"Never mind then," Kitagawa Kaimu said with a hint of regret. "Let's try some other outfits today."

The store was quite large, with many customers coming and going. As Amamiya Natsuki was choosing a cosplay character, she saw a boy wearing a khaki combat suit and a white cape come out of the fitting room.

"It's Saitama-sensei." Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up. "Natsuki, would you like to give it a try?"

"If the role-playing is successful, one punch will take down a kid."

Just kidding! Saitama's most distinctive feature is his shiny bald head. He'd rather be trampled underfoot than sacrifice his hair!

"That's strange." Kitagawa Kaimu suddenly realized a blind spot, "It seems that the store doesn't have cosplay costumes for characters like Spider-Man, Thor, or Captain America."

“The reason is simple,” Natsuki Amamiya remarked. “On Japan Island, only students can save the world.”

When Marvel movies were released and swept the box office in countries around the world, only Japan stood out and was defeated by Conan, a primary school student. There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is ideology.

In the Japanese mindset, heroic protagonists should be teenagers, so the characters in mainstream manga are mostly students—elementary school students, junior high school students, high school students—and rarely, they are overworked office workers.

When Batman was released, its box office performance was poor. An organization conducted a survey on Twitter, and many people responded—

"Such a grown man, still acting like a hero."

"I feel ashamed."

"Why not a high school student?"

Simply put, it's a case of not being used to the local environment!

An old man in his fifties or sixties still spending his days doing heroic deeds should retire quickly and hand over Gotham City to the younger generation. The remnants of the old world should retire and go into seclusion!

The two quickly completed a lap.

"There's a nun cosplay outfit over there. I'll try it on and see if it helps me start cosplaying." Kitagawa Haimu chose the outfit, and after confirming there were no evil spirits in the fitting room, she took the outfit and went inside. "Natsuki, what do you want to try on?"

Natsuki Amamiya glanced at the various uniforms in the distance and quickly made a decision: "I'll try playing a ninja."

Substitution Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, and all sorts of other random ninjutsu would definitely be useful if they could be used for role-playing.

Holding the ninja cosplay outfit, Natsuki Amamiya walked into the fitting room, changed into the uniform, and silently activated the copied 'role-playing' skill.

"Failed."

Amamiya Natsuki remained calm, not taking the failure to heart at all; it would have been strange if she had succeeded so easily.

After leaving the fitting room, Natsuki Amamiya changed into another cosplay outfit, but the result was still a failure.

During this time, Kitagawa Kaimu also came out of the fitting room opposite, looking pitiful: "Natsuki, I can't be a nun anymore."

"normal."

Sacrificing oneself to save others, God's love for the world, and devout faith—you don't fit any of these criteria!

The two continued searching for role-playing opportunities to trigger.

"Ok?"

As Amamiya Natsuki's gaze swept over a hero cosplay outfit, a notification suddenly appeared before her eyes.

You suddenly have a flash of inspiration and believe you have the potential to become a hero.

Just kidding, I prefer being the evil villain to the hero.

The hints wouldn't appear out of nowhere, so Natsuki Amamiya curiously picked up the hero cosplay outfit and went into the fitting room.

Don the hero's uniform and start role-playing again.
