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

"It's so similar, it's really so similar, it's exactly the same as when I saw it last time."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Huh? Have you ever seen 'Masked' in person?"

"of course."

The young woman replied with a smug look on her face.

“When ‘Masked’ first made a public appearance, I was right there beside him. Moreover, I was the one who wrote the report on the Teru Teru Bozu killer, which made ‘Masked’ notice this serial killer.”

Kitagawa Kaimu looked very admiring and was about to say something when she heard Yohoshi say calmly from the side.

"Ms. Suga Natsumi, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Suga Natsumi glanced at Yohoshi and exclaimed in surprise.

"You are... Ye Xing? What are you doing here?"

"What else can be done?"

Night Star shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

"Of course, as you can see, I'm here to accompany a friend to a cosplay event."

"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, your figure does resemble 'Mask' quite a bit."

"Yes, that's an honor for 'Masked'."

"You really are going against the grain, cosplayer talking about the original owner?"

"Hehe, it's still uncertain who will rebel against the Heavenly Gang."

Listening to the conversation between the young beauty named Suga Natsumi and Yohoshi, Kitagawa Kaimu keenly noticed a detail.

Did the other person recognize Ye Xing's voice after hearing only one sentence?

There are only two explanations for this.

The first type is where the two are very familiar with each other.

The second type is Ms. Suga Natsumi, who has a very deep impression of Yohoshi.

Kitagawa Kaimu took a closer look at Suga Natsumi, who was wearing a tank top and hot pants and had her nails done. She looked very fashionable and exuded a mature charm like an older sister. Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but feel a little wary.

No, absolutely not.

She has to defend this position for her good friend Saki Kawasaki!

"Miss Suga."

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Suga Natsumi with a very polite attitude, but her words contained a firm meaning.

"This is my first time attending a cosplay event, so if you're not busy, could we talk after the event?"

"Oh...I see..."

Suga Natsumi glanced at Kitagawa Kaimu, who was dressed as Kuroe Shizuku, and said meaningfully to Yohoshi.

"Girlfriend? Judging from her voice, I don't think she was in the last interview?"

"We're just ordinary friends for now."

"Heh, just for now..."

Suga Natsumi didn't dwell on the topic too much. She just glanced at Kitagawa Kaimu again, then raised the camera in her hand and smiled.

"My friend, it was purely by chance that I came here and met Ye Xing. I originally came to take pictures."

"Photograph?"

Upon hearing the term and glancing at the professional SLR camera in Suga Natsumi's hand, Kitagawa Kaimu hesitated.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the other person utter a word that she could not refuse at all.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I work at an editorial company, so I guess you could call me a reporter. I'm quite professional at taking photos."

When Kitagawa Kaimu heard the word "professional," his eyes lit up.

"Miss Nasuga, can you help me...?"

Before Kitagawa Kaimu could finish speaking, Suga Natsumi waved her hand, her words revealing the composure of a mature older sister.

"Since you're Ye Xing's friend, then you're my friend too. Don't be shy about taking pictures, let's get started."

"Thank you, Miss Suga!"

"No need to be so polite, just call me Xia Mei."

"Okay, Sister Xia Mei."

Listening to the conversation between Kitagawa Kaimu and Suga Natsumi, Yohoshi couldn't help but sigh.

The poor doll was manipulated at the mercy of a mature older woman.

In just a few words, they forgot their original stance.

However, Kitagawa Kaimu is naturally easygoing and cheerful, so it's not surprising that she gets along so well with Suga Natsumi.

.......

The one-and-a-half-hour activity time in the morning passed quickly.

Natsumi Suga not only took photos of Kaimu Kitagawa, but also of Yohoshi.

Rather than saying that taking photos of Hai Meng was a deliberate act of deception, a pretext for future actions.

The highly accurate portrayal of the popular character "Masked" by Yoru Hoshino, making it seem as if the cosplayer herself is on screen, is what Suga Natsumi truly wanted to film.

Furthermore, she had another idea in mind.

Before the Teru Teru Bozu Killer incident, Suga Natsumi was already very interested in Yohoshi, who dared to reveal her name and appearance and openly denounce the serial killer, and wanted to find an opportunity to conduct another exclusive interview.

If we could get Ye Xing's permission to include his "Masked" cosplay photos in the article along with the content of the next interview, it would definitely cause a sensation!

Suga Natsumi even came up with a title.

"A Righteous Youth with the Soul of a 'Mask'! First Exclusive Interview Revealed!"

Who says meal replacements can’t be eaten as meals?

Meal replacements can certainly be eaten as a meal.

Wouldn't it be nice if Yosei became a "mask" meal replacement in the eyes of Kyoto citizens?

Of course, all of this will have to wait until Suga Natsumi obtains the other party's consent.

........

the other side.

"Phew, it's finally time to rest."

Because it was the middle of summer, Kitagawa Kaimu was wearing a heavy black gauze dress, and she was almost soaked in sweat.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. Although she looked a little tired, the joy in her eyes as she looked at the event was impossible to hide.

"That's great, really great, exactly as I imagined."

Ye Xing smiled and spoke up from the side.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while."

"That's true, after all, it's been more than two hours. It's just too hot outside. Even with cooling patches on, I still can't stand it."

Kitagawa Uimeng said thoughtfully.

"Where should we go? An internet cafe? A coffee shop?"

"You can't sit in those clothes, they'll get deformed."

"Eh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu asked in confusion upon hearing this.

"Did Sashi say that?"

Night Star replied nonchalantly.

"I can tell, it's not like I don't know how to make clothes."

"Eh? Eh!?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback at first, then looked surprised.

"Night Star, you can make cosplay costumes? Why didn't you tell me..."

“I’m not interested in doing it, so there’s no need for me to tell you.”

"Too."

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Yohoshi standing there and thought that, judging from the other person's personality, he really didn't seem like someone who would be interested in something like tailoring.

"In short, if you want to rest, you have to take off this dress and take a shower, otherwise the dress will be ruined after it gets soaked in sweat."

Upon hearing Yoru's words, Kitagawa Kaimu's expression changed.

She never imagined she would wear this outfit for a second cosplay.

However, this is a memorable outfit, as it was the first cosplay outfit that Saki made for her by hand, and also the outfit she wore for her first event.

If this breaks, Kitagawa Kaimu will definitely be very upset.

At this point, Ye Xing changed the subject and laughed.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

.......

Ten minutes later.

"Here...here..."

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at the room in front of her, which was decorated in light pink and exuded an ambiguous atmosphere, with the most obvious feature being the heart-shaped bed. Her pretty face turned completely red.

"Here...where is this..."
