……

When everything settles down.

"Handsome, how was it? I've really helped you a lot today!" The staff member who led Yuta Kijima backstage to collect his photos said happily through the mascot costume.

As for Yukino Yukinoshita, she had already gone to the side of the booth to rest, and she had not yet recovered from the incident.

After all, the incident had already happened, and there were so many children around; she simply couldn't bring herself to get angry on the platform.

The two were only pressed together for a fleeting moment, and it didn't seem like... anything serious enough to cause anger...

When Yuta Kijima heard the staff even boasting to him, a row of black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.

After taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said helplessly, "She and I are really just ordinary friends..."

"It's okay. Although she's not your girlfriend yet, I believe you can definitely win her over."

Despite being separated by a mascot costume, Yuta Kijima could clearly feel the disbelief in the other person's eyes.

Seeing this, Kijima Yuta sighed softly and did not offer any further unfounded explanations.

When he held the photo in his hand, Yuta Kijima looked at his own and Yukino Yukinoshita's shocked faces and smiled bitterly. He wondered if Yukino Yukinoshita would accept the photo when she saw it.

After failing to explain to the staff again, Yuta Kijima took the two photos in his hand and returned to Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing at the edge of the booth.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita staring blankly at the lively children on the display stand, Yuuta Kijima hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Yukinoshita-san... this... these are the photos from earlier, look..."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and saw Yuta Kijima's embarrassed face, and her mood improved a lot. It wasn't entirely Yuta's fault...

She reached out and took the photo, her eyes scanning it carefully.

The scene above wasn't just filled with two embarrassed individuals; it also featured their favorite Mr. Pan and a group of innocent and adorable children...

She glanced at it again, then carefully put the photo into her pocket, and said to Yuta Kijima as if nothing had happened, "Let's go back..."

Yuta Kijima watched in surprise as she put the photo into her pocket. He had even imagined the worst-case scenario: Yukino Yukinoshita would see the photo and narrow her eyes, coldly saying, "I think it would be better if Kijima-kun never saw this photo again..."

Chapter 252 The End

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Yuta Kijima, who was standing there in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong, Kijima-kun?"

Does he feel there's something wrong with him accepting the photos? Or does he not want to accept them?

"Huh?" Yuta Kijima was taken aback by the words, then shook his head. "N-nothing, let's go back if it's alright."

It seems that I have a too stereotypical view of Yukino Yukinoshita, which makes me a little unaware of her occasional cute actions.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and walked alone in the direction she had come from.

"..."

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita turn and leave, Yuta Kijima hurriedly chased after her.

"So these are the photos you took at Mr. Pan's event booth?"

"It looks really lively!"

"Hey? Why didn't you take a picture with us, Yuta? It's not easy to go all the way here..."

Upon arriving at their rest area, Kitagawa Kaimu immediately grabbed the camera and started looking through the photos, making sarcastic remarks.

“Uh…” Kijima Yuta coughed lightly, not mentioning the photo in his pocket. “I… didn’t think about it at the time, but I don’t really care about these things, so it’s okay.”

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting to the side.

She had one hand in her pocket and didn't seem inclined to add anything to his explanation.

It's probably better to just let this matter pass by peacefully.

As expected, Kitagawa Kaimu didn't say anything after hearing this explanation. After all, although Mr. Pan was very famous, everyone has their own preferences, and it was normal for Kijima Yuta not to care.

After flipping through a few more photos haphazardly, she listlessly handed the camera to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Then he looked at Yuta Kijima and asked, "Yuta, how was your rest? If you're free, could you come back to the plaza with me again?"

Yuta Kijima nodded. "Should we take a few more photos?"

Kitagawa Kaimu shook her head: "I've arranged to meet a photographer online, and I'd like you to come with me to see her."

After all, she still needs a few more professional cosplay photos to post on X.

Yuta Kijima: "Okay."

After making arrangements for Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita, he followed Kitagawa Kaimu to the crowded square.

Under the scorching sun, Yuta Kijima finally met the photographer whom Kaimu Kitagawa had booked.

The other person was an ordinary woman with short hair and dressed smartly.

When she saw Kitagawa Kaimu, she immediately waved for the two of them to come over.

"Ms. Marlene?"

"After seeing your message on X about cosplaying Shizuku, I've been thinking about taking photos with you ever since!" The photographer said excitedly, holding Kitagawa Kaimu's hand.

Even someone as stoic as Kitagawa Kaimu was made a little embarrassed by her enthusiasm, scratching her head and smiling shyly, "Hehe, actually I'd like you to take some pictures of me too."

Because they had chatted on X a long time ago, the two seemed very familiar with each other even though it was their first time meeting.

Yuta Kijima thinks this is what the world of anime is all about...

The photographer smiled and squinted, "Don't worry, after I finish taking the photos for you, teacher, I can send you the feedback tonight!"

"Well then, let me find a suitable place to start taking pictures."

"Ok."

A few minutes later, the group found a shady spot. Along the way, the photographer and Kitagawa Kaimu walked ahead, chatting and laughing, looking quite content.

She would always glance back at Yuta Kijima a few times before turning away with a smile, leaving him completely bewildered.

I found a quiet spot to sit down. It was the height of the afternoon sun, but the shelter of the big trees and the gentle breeze made it quite comfortable.

Kijima Yuta tilted his head slightly to look at the two people who had started taking pictures not far from him, and squinted his eyes to admire them.

A professional makes all the difference; even Kitagawa Kaimu started posing under her guidance.

"Please look at the camera."

"..."

The subsequent photo-taking process went smoothly.

After exchanging pleasantries with the photographer, Kitagawa Kaimu parted ways.

"These photographers seem really busy at the comic convention?"

Yuta Kijima watched as the photographer hurriedly carried his equipment to the next agreed location and asked Kaimu Kitagawa a question.

Kitagawa Kaimu was sweating profusely again. Even in the shade, posing for a while was still unbearable for her.

She ripped off her wig, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said, "There's nothing we can do. Comic conventions are a good opportunity for them to expand their customer base."

"That's about enough for today, Yuta, let's go home."

Shizuku Kuroe's cosplay outfit was unbearably hot and stuffy. She had already asked Megumi Kato and Yukino Yukinoshita to wipe her back with wet wipes while she was in the bathroom.

Now she could feel her skin clinging tightly to the fabric of her clothes again.

"it is good."

Speechless all the way.

They soon arrived at the meeting point.

We've mostly finished what we needed to do today, so everyone happily agreed to go home.

Kitagawa Kaimu and Kato Megumi entered the inn.

"Hmm... Did you have fun today, Yukinoshita-san?"

Bored, Yuta Kijima started chatting with Yukino Yukinoshita again.

“Comic conventions are quite interesting…” Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly. “I’ve never had an experience like this before.”

"Haven't you made any friends at school?" Yuta Kijima asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent for a moment, turning her head slightly in another direction.

The hand in his pocket gently clenched the dramatic group photo...

Seeing this, Yuta Kijima awkwardly touched his nose.

The two fell silent again...

It wasn't until Kitagawa Kaimu and Kato Megumi came out that Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if she would feel awkward being alone with Kijima Yuta.

Kitagawa Kaimu was pulling a suitcase with one hand and drinking a bottle of mineral water with the other.

Kato Megumi was also carrying several bottles of mineral water, which they must have bought at the hotel entrance.

"Phew! I'm finally alive again. I feel like I can't stand the outside temperature at all after taking off my cosplay outfit."

Kato Megumi nodded in agreement. Her maid outfit wasn't much less revealing than Kitagawa Kaimu's Shizuku Kuroe, but she simply didn't move around much during the anime convention.

Yuta Kijima stepped forward and habitually pulled the suitcase into his hands. He then took the bottled water handed to him by Megumi Kato and said with a smile, "Next time Haimeng does a cosplay, you can make some changes according to the season."

Chapter 253 Happy New Year

"Thanks to everyone, this cosplay expo was really awesome!"

As the tram occasionally jolted, Kitagawa Kaimu tightened her body, her gaze fixed on the fleeting scenery outside the window, and murmured, "I'm really excited to see so many like-minded friends at this event."

"This is an experience I've never had before..."

Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita, having had a busy day, felt drowsy and sleepy as they sat on the train, enjoying the tranquility of the carriage.

Upon hearing Kitagawa Kaimu's remark, Kijima Yuta rubbed his face with his palm and whispered, "It's nothing. Actually, this was a rather novel experience for me, Megumi, and Yukinoshita-san as well. In fact, we should be the ones thanking you."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to witness such an interesting event."

Kitagawa Kaimu smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I don't think I've had a chance to take a proper photo with those cosplayers this time. I definitely can't forget to do it next time I participate in an event."

"Everyone looks great! We all seem to be shining in our cosplay outfits!"

Yuta Kijima chuckled and yawned. "Hai Meng is sparkly in Shizuku's clothes too. She looks completely different from usual."

"Full of confident charm."
