Chapter 59 : Transformation Imminent~
59: Transformation Imminent~
Comic conventions aren't just about cosplayers who like imitating two-dimensional characters.
There are also many collaborative activities on site, such as autograph sessions, stamp collecting, or selling two-dimensional merchandise like figures and weapons.
After a simple meeting with Junior Yun Xia at Wuyue Plaza and some brief conversation.
Since Junior Yun Xia had come with people from Su University's anime club, they belonged to a small group and had been invited to perform a collaborative play on the temporarily constructed stage later.
So-called collaborative play, as the name suggests, was imitating the character settings from original anime plots to film a small, witty and humorous situational drama.
Although it didn't have any particular technical content, mostly just saying some special character lines according to the original plot without any high-difficulty fighting scenes.
But as members of the anime club, Yun Xia and many members of Su University's anime club all approached it with a dedicated attitude, striving to do their best.
Regarding this, Su Mo, as a senior... senior, although there were still many things about comic conventions she didn't understand, she didn't tactlessly disturb the anime club members' brainstorming of new plots.
"Senior Momo, if only you were the transformed Utena today, then you could also participate in our small team's 'Magical Girl Battle' situational drama at 2 PM this afternoon."
Hearing the companions who came together calling to go backstage for rehearsal, perhaps because she was about to separate from Su Mo, Yun Xia pouted her little mouth somewhat dissatisfied and muttered quietly.
Looking at Junior Yun Xia, whom she had only met last night but now seemed reluctant to leave her.
Su Mo only felt that girls were truly quite emotional creatures. Despite only knowing each other for a day, they now got along unexpectedly well.
However, she wasn't averse to Junior Yun Xia's eager, reluctant gaze. After gently waving her hand, Su Mo slowly said:
"It's okay, the stage is so big and I'm somewhat socially anxious. I'll just watch your performance from below the stage when the time comes."
Hearing Su Mo promise to come watch her performance, Yun Xia's slightly puffed pink cheeks returned to her adorably sweet face. After saying "see you later," she ran away on her fair long legs, tap-tap-tapping toward the anime club group.
Watching the sweet girl Yun Xia, full of youthful maiden charm, gradually run away.
At this moment, Su Mo suddenly had an interesting thought.
Just now while communicating with Junior Yun Xia, she discovered that Yun Xia and many Su University anime club schoolmates all approached this comic convention with the mindset of doing their best and leaving some precious memories.
And her SSS mission's fifth ring was called—giving the world a little two-dimensional shock.
What could be more shocking and memorable than real characters breaking through dimensional walls appearing?
Thinking of the information Junior Yun Xia had given her yesterday, Su Mo felt that since she was completing a mission, bringing this cute junior a little shock along the way would be excellent too.
It just so happened that their stage play was at 2 PM this afternoon, so she would transform and do her mission at that time.
Gurgle~
As Su Mo made her decision internally, her stomach, which hadn't eaten anything all morning, let out a protest.
Gently touching her flat abdomen and looking at the time on her phone, with 2 hours still until 2 o'clock, Su Mo simply followed the signs toward the mall's food court.
Perhaps because it was approaching mealtime, the cosplayers also welcomed a brief break and began eating lunch.
Taking the elevator, Su Mo looked at the pretty young ladies beside her wearing various colorful outfits and different stockings.
While marveling at how diverse and amazing girls' clothing was, she also felt somewhat relieved.
Because with so many cosplayers together, there would be much fewer gazes looking at her. She definitely didn't want to experience being confessed to by boys again!
Due to the comic convention activities and it being Sunday, Wuyue Plaza's foot traffic was absolutely explosive.
When Su Mo reached the floor where countless restaurants gathered, basically every shop was already full. Fortunately, as a large shopping center, Wuyue Plaza also had KKC with the white-bearded grandpa that served food quickly and tasted good.
Walking into KKC, after ordering a meal set containing burger + fries + cola on the menu board, Su Mo quietly waited for her food in a corner.
While Su Mo was looking around with nothing to do, as her eyes slowly swept across the face of a cosplayer dressed as Asuna, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
Emmmmmmmmm Why did this girl look so much like the ex-girlfriend of her dormitory Boss Lin Kun?
Wait, no, recently the two seemed to have gotten back together, so current girlfriend.
But the chubby figure of the cosplayer Kirito sitting across from Asuna didn't look like Boss Lin Kun at all?
Just as Su Mo wanted to walk closer to take a look, Asuna and Kirito had already finished eating and left the restaurant.
There were too many people in KKC, and by the time Su Mo tried to catch up, they had already disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo could only silently suppress this doubt in her heart. Perhaps she had seen wrong?
After the comic convention ended, she'd have her boss ask tentatively.
KKC's food service was very fast. Ten minutes later, Su Mo received her meal.
Because there were really too many people in the restaurant, although saying this was somewhat narcissistic behavior, Su Mo knew that she was somewhat good-looking now.
At least she could attract her former boyish self.
To avoid being approached, Su Mo held her chicken burger in her left hand and ice cola in her right hand, directly choosing to leave the shop and eat while walking.
Because she was still very curious about comic conventions, aimless Su Mo soon returned to the comic convention booths.
Su Mo had originally just been purely curious, wanting to see what was being sold at comic conventions.
But perhaps inheriting Utena's obsession with magical girls, when she walked to a booth selling magical girl figures.
Su Mo felt her gaze seemed uncontrollable, sticking to the figures.
Moments later,
"Thank you for your patronage. The Magical Girl Azure figure costs 888 yuan. Here's your receipt."
As a girl dressed in black and white maid outfit slightly bowed and handed over a receipt, Su Mo now owned a very exquisite Azure figure.
Looking at this 888-yuan figure, Su Mo's heart was honestly bleeding at this moment.
She clearly knew that figures weren't particularly useful, but after changing into Utena's outfit, facing Magical Girl Azure felt like there was hidden magic—she just couldn't resist!
While her heart ached from spending money, looking at this Magical Girl Azure figure.
Su Mo somehow felt a sense of overlap between Magical Azure and her girlfriend Lin Muyao.
Gently shaking her head, she threw this unrealistic thought out of her mind.
It couldn't be, it couldn't be. Her girlfriend was Su University's aloof campus belle. How could she be the same as Magical Girl Azure!
She must be tired now, which was why she was thinking this way.
After completing her mission, she definitely had to sleep well in bed tonight!
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Just as Su Mo painfully stuffed the figure into Utena's shoulder bag, the lights at the center stage of Wuyue Plaza suddenly lit up, signaling that the afternoon anime convention stage play was about to begin.
Faced with this scene, Su Mo couldn't help but swallow, and her little heart began pounding non-stop~
Finally time to transform!!!
