CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 406: TSUKIMI SAKURAZAWA, GRUDGE +1...

"What holiday is it?"

"It’s Halloween! Shirakawa, don’t tell me you’ve never paid attention to this holiday."

"Isn’t this a holiday for kids?" Shirakawa Sawahei casually picked up a washed apple and took a bite, asking, "Why should I pay attention to this holiday?"

"Halloween is so much fun! You can get candy! And there’s the costume party too."

"Getting candy is completely unnecessary, I see you’re just interested in the costume party."

"Hehe~ because it’s so much fun! Shirakawa, will you go with me? Before, only Sister Yin accompanied me to cosplay as a witch. If you’re going, I can cosplay as a different character this year!"

"Take me? What would I cosplay as?"

"You could cosplay as a male witch!"

"Is there even such a thing as a male witch??"

"Shirakawa, you’re so mean. You should apologize to all the fans of Gargamel!"

"..."

That’s Smurfs, isn’t it? Who the heck even likes Gargamel...? I bet you just made that up!

"But... Shirakawa, if you cosplay as a villain, maybe it’ll have an unexpected effect..."

"I cosplay as a male witch? What would you cosplay as? Not a witch, but a jack-o’-lantern?"

"Well... a jack-o’-lantern could be fun too... or I could also cosplay as a flying broomstick!"

"Orikin... do you mean Shirakawa would ride you?"

The Whining Monster suddenly chimed in, "A male witch bringing a female flying broomstick to a costume party, people might think you’re playing some shameful game of sorts..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

"Then... can I cosplay as a flying broomstick with Sakurazawa? A male witch can’t ride two flying broomsticks, right? That would be unimpressive..."

"Mm~ good idea..."

Some double-standard, long-legged cute girl: You can ride both of us, but just her? No way!

No one is sneaking off! Not even Jesus can stop it, I say!

"Cut the crap, I’m not going to cosplay as Gargamel."

"Oh... what a shame... I was thinking the few of us could go together... I’ve always wanted to see Kaori-chan cosplay as Mao Cangwei again... that tail is so cute..."

"Huh? What do you mean ’again’... Konatsuori has cosplayed before???"

"Ah... no, I just fantasized about it!"

The Whining Monster made an "oh" sound, then excitedly grabbed Shirakawa Sawahei’s hand and began to plead.

"Shirakawa... it sounds kind of fun, why don’t we go play a bit~"

"No. You all need to study."

"Shirakawa, it’s just for a little while... it won’t be a big deal..."

"Shirakawa~"

"Shirakawa..."

The two girls clung to his arms, one on each side, and started shaking him as usual. Shirakawa Sawahei’s strong will only held out for a moment before being gradually eroded by something soft...

Remind yourself constantly, I’m a protagonist of the righteous path.

Shirakawa Sawahei pulled out his hand, still refusing, "I don’t think..."

"It’s not impossible, right?"

"Wonderful~ Shirakawa, you’re the best..."

The coordination between the Lazy Girl and the Whining Monster finally broke through his iron-clad defense. Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, warning, "I’m not cosplaying!"

"No worries, Shirakawa! You can just throw on a black cloth to cosplay as a Man in Black!"

"Ah... then I need to think about whom I should cosplay... Shirakawa always says my cosplay panders to otaku, it’s so frustrating."

"Well well... after all, Sakurazawa and I are in the same situation... I can recommend a few female characters that are popular but don’t show much skin..."

"There are such female characters??"

"Yes, like Asuna and Chidori Isumi."

Tsukimi Sakurazawa: "..."

"Come to think of it...do you think if Tachibana cosplayed, it would be really interesting..."

Speaking of this, the Whining Monster got excited: "I know this, Xiao Mo’s size!"

"Really... what happened!"

"I’ve touched it... Xiao Mo’s reaction was super cute..."

"Eek... Sakurazawa, I’m so jealous that you can mess around with Tachibana... I also want to see Tachibana’s cute reaction..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

"Shirakawa... with that reaction... don’t you also want to see Xiao Mo’s cosplay?"

"I don’t."

"Your face is red!"

Shirakawa Sawahei clenched his fists and denied again, "I don’t!"

"I’ll message Xiao Mo right now to tell her to prepare her cosplay! At that time, our entire Calligraphy Club will cosplay! And you, Shirakawa, will judge who’s the cutest!"

"Again???"

"What’s the matter! Shirakawa, are you scared?"

The Lazy Girl heard the familiar competition, with a mixed expression on her face; on one hand, she might see Tachibana Tomoku’s cute cosplay, but on the other, the contest had no suspense... After all, Mao Cangwei is the eternal champion! Unless Tachibana takes her down!

Shirakawa Sawahei remembered the swimsuit pageant mess before and couldn’t help but headache, saying, "Can’t we not do it... how about we all cosplay as the Men in Black?"

"How can we fight if everyone cosplays as Men in Black? Shirakawa, get your spirits up!"

"There’s nothing worth fighting over, why don’t we spend Halloween in another way?"

"Shirakawa... how would you like to play?"

The old player pondered for a moment and suggested, "Isn’t Halloween night on a Saturday? We can gather and set up the scene, then watch a horror movie?"

"Oh... that sounds nice... let’s camp instead! The outdoor atmosphere better captures the terror of Halloween night~"

"Then let’s not watch a movie, but rather do a horror story relay!" The Lazy Girl patted her chest and confidently said, "I have nerves of steel, Shirakawa can vouch!"

"Let’s happily decide this way! The campsite should be on the mountain, I’m familiar with it!"

"I can provide snacks and a Bluetooth speaker!"

"What do we need a Bluetooth speaker for?"

"Of course, to enhance the scary atmosphere!"

The two girls started discussing Halloween night camping arrangements one after another. Shirakawa Sawahei remained silent for a while, vaguely feeling that he should stop them.

Camping? How many tents to bring?

One big one? No, I’m a righteous protagonist.

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated for a moment and thought, since that’s the case, let’s bring more small ones... Little ones for the little lolitas, as long as she doesn’t sleep with me, I’ll remain a standard righteous protagonist, without worrying about the FBI raiding my tent at midnight.

Perfect arrangement.

Some Black Hearted Lolita: ?

"Shirakawa~ what do you think about camping?"

"I think it’s okay." Shirakawa Sawahei calmly said, "But... since you’re all so eager, going out for a bit isn’t such a bad thing."

"Eek~ Shirakawa you’re so tsundere... If you’re going, just say so, no need to act all reluctant."

"I’m not tsundere."

"Alright, alright, I got it, Shirakawa, you’re not tsundere at all."

"I really am not tsundere!!"

"Got it, got it... can we let Xiao Mo know now? See if she’s free that day~"

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Why does this feel strangely familiar? Didn’t we just have this conversation somewhere?

Tsukimi Sakurazawa, holding grudges +1...

ps: As usual, a Halloween extra~ Brothers, charge!
