Chapter 113: The Cosplay Date Challenge – Ava & Ryan in Costumes?!
The following morning, Tokyo’s electric energy buzzed through the air as Ava and Ryan arrived at the next matchmaking event—The Cosplay Date Challenge.
Ava had read the itinerary, but nothing could have prepared her for the sheer chaos unfolding before her eyes.
Shibuya’s vibrant streets had been transformed into a cosplayer’s paradise. Dozens of participants strolled through the festival grounds dressed as everything from anime protagonists to video game heroes. A DJ spun upbeat J-pop remixes in the background, and various booths lined the streets, offering themed snacks, fan merchandise, and impromptu photoshoots.
Ava exhaled slowly. This was fine. She could handle this.
Then, Ryan leaned in, his voice dripping with amusement. "So... any chance we can skip this one?"
Ava gave him a flat look. "No."
Ryan sighed dramatically, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I figured."
Before Ava could fully process everything, a familiar cackling voice cut through the noise.
"Ah! There they are! My two favorite victims— I mean, participants."
Ava groaned audibly before even turning around.
Mei.
