In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

Seeing Kawasaki Saki and Kitagawa Umi playing and laughing, Yohoshi commented calmly from the side.

"Although I'd love to see you two tearing at each other's clothes, it's getting late, shouldn't we be heading out now?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Kitagawa Kaimu took out her phone and glanced at it, realizing it was already past ten o'clock. She quickly got up and tidied herself up.

"The event starts at 10:30, so we really need to hurry."

Kawasaki Saki waved her hand, resting her chin on her hand.

"Remember to take lots of photos!"

Immediately afterwards, Kawasaki Saki looked at Yoru, hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally spoke softly.

"be careful."

"Look how worried you are."

Before Yoruichi could reply, Kitagawa Kaimu spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to a cosplay event. I'll be back this afternoon. I'll borrow your friend Yexing for a few hours and then return her to you."

Watching Kitagawa Kaimu and Yohoshi's departing figures, Kawasaki Saki blushed slightly and murmured to herself.

"What do you mean, my classmate Yexing... Honestly, you're talking nonsense again."

Kawasaki Saki then sighed softly, a hint of worry creeping into her heart.

Kitagawa Kaimu was unaware of the truth and thought it was just an ordinary comic convention event.

However, Saki Kawasaki, as an insider, knew that this was not cosplay at all.

This is the criminal's "mask," where they stay in public places for hours on end, taking photos and talking to others.

Are you sure there won't be any problems?

.......

Meanwhile, after leaving the hotel, Kitagawa Kaimu and Yohoshi boarded a train heading towards Akihabara.

"Phew, thankfully I made it in time."

Wearing a heavy black gauze dress, Kitagawa Kaimu's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat from running.

She took out a pack of tissues from her bag, pulled out a tissue, and handed it to Ye Xing beside her, smiling.

"Ye Xing, you should wipe your sweat too."

"Need not."

Ye Xing waved his hand. Although he was also wearing a stuffy black coat and a pure black mask, he was not out of breath like Kitagawa Haimu from his run.

"That's true, you hold three records at the school sports meet, and your physical strength is much better than mine."

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Yohoshi beside her and asked curiously.

"However... even though I've already said it once, I still want to say it again: you really resemble 'Masked,' whether it's your figure or this... how should I put it..."

Seeing Kitagawa Kaimu looking like she couldn't find the right words, Yohoshi chuckled and offered a gentle reminder.

"This innate air of pretentiousness?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled awkwardly.

"Um...it's a bit vulgar, but your description is quite accurate. In short, it's that special quality that makes you stand out in a crowd."

Night Star retorted confidently.

"I'm different from him. I can be noticed at a glance. Isn't it because I'm handsome?"

Kitagawa Kaimu sighed, rubbing his forehead, and said helplessly.

"You're so narcissistic."

Then, she flashed a sweet smile.

"However, that's exactly what makes it fit the special vibe of 'Mask'."

Just as the two were talking, a little girl, about seven or eight years old, suddenly ran up to Ye Xing. Looking at the pure black mask on his face and the hem of the coat that Kawasaki Saki had cut to imitate a burning effect, she looked up at him with curiosity.

"Excuse me, are you cosplaying as 'Masked'?"

Kitagawa Kaimu, fearing that Yosei might say something abstract, quickly replied.

"Little sister, do you know about 'Mask' too?"

The little girl nodded earnestly.

"Yes, 'Masked' is my idol. Can you help us take a picture together, big sister?"

"Okay, no problem."

Kitagawa Kaimu took the phone from the little girl's mother and watched as the little girl sat directly on Yosei's lap, even making a peace sign. She couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"It's done."

The little girl took the phone, glanced at the photos, then returned it to her mother. Looking at Kitagawa Kaimu and Yohoshi, she bowed very politely.

"Thank you, big brother. Thank you, big sister."

After the little girl returned to her seat, Kitagawa Kaimu seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled at Yohoshi next to her.

"Did you know that in a recent online survey, the support rate for 'mask' among male netizens was 72%, while among female netizens it was as high as 84%, and especially among children under ten years old, the support rate even exceeded 90%?"

"Wow, I'm that popular?"

Upon hearing Yoshiki speak in the first person, Kitagawa Kaimu gently punched his shoulder, her eyes filled with a smile.

"You really are a natural cosplayer, you're already immersed in the character? I was talking about 'Masked', not you. Anyway, 'Masked' has a really high approval rating. Look at Saki's sister, Jinghua, isn't she a loyal fan of 'Masked'?"

Ye Xing nodded in deep agreement.

"Indeed, 'Mask' is too outstanding. Someone as outstanding as her deserves a harem."

"What are you talking about? Maybe 'Mask' is actually a woman?"

"There's absolutely no chance of that."

...........

When Kitagawa Kaimu arrived at the event venue, her eyes lit up as she looked at the beautiful open-air plaza in front of her, where cosplayers dressed in all sorts of costumes had already gathered in twos and threes.

"This is... a cosplay event. It's my first time here."

Kitagawa Kaimu muttered something to herself, then looked at Yohoshi beside her and smiled sweetly.

"It's so great to be able to participate in a cosplay event with you for the first time."

As soon as Yohoshi and Kitagawa Kaimu arrived at the scene, they immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

With Ye Xing himself playing the role, the "mask" is a perfect 1:1 replica, so there's no need to say more.

Kitagawa Kaimu's cosplay of Kuroe Shizuku, enhanced by the exquisite costume made by Kawasaki Saki and the meticulous makeup she applied early in the morning, is an incredibly high level of realism, making the character seem like she has come to life.

The key is......

"Your character doesn't seem to be a very respectable one, does it?"

"Huh? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yexing-kun, so you've also played the second generation of the 'Miracle Life of the St. Sticky Girls' Academy's Young Lady in the Shame Club without any shame'?"

Yoruichi glanced at Kitagawa Kaimu and said with genuine admiration.

"Wow, your lung capacity is truly amazing."

"This is not important."

Kitagawa Kaimu looked very happy.

"Great! I thought it was just me and Saki who had played this game."

"Huh? Kawasaki played this game too?"

"Yes, to ensure the accuracy of the costumes made, I supervised her through the game. As expected of Saki, she noticed many details that I hadn't noticed during the game."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing understood.

No wonder Saki Kawasaki didn't come along today.

Logically speaking, as the creator of the cosplay outfit, this is the first time wearing it... oh, no, wait.

The first time I wore it was probably when Mai Sakurajima wore the sexy bunny girl outfit.

In short, given Saki Kawasaki's love for tailoring, she should have come along to the first exhibition of her self-made clothing, which was a chance to see in person, and listened to the opinions of the people there about the garment.

So that's why she didn't come.

Kawasaki Saki knows that Kitagawa Ummu cos...

It's an adult game character!!!

In matters like this, she was clearly not as oblivious as Kitagawa Kaimu, and of course she wouldn't go along and experience the strange looks and comments from others.

"Speaking of which, the two of us are actually a team today."

"combination?"

Seeing Kitagawa Kaimu tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face, Yohoshi chuckled.

"I'm an old butter shooter, so it makes sense for us to be the butter duo."

Kitagawa Kaimu pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat displeased, and muttered under her breath.

"Shizuku is not such a simple character, hmph."

Just then, a tall, stylish young woman carrying a camera walked into the event venue.

Her gaze swept across the room, noticing Yoru and Kitagawa Kaimu standing there. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly stepped forward to ask them.

"Huh? Excuse me, are you cosplaying 'Masked'?"

Before Ye Xing could reply, the young woman circled around him, observing him closely while muttering to herself.
