382 She wants to understand her Brother’s likes regarding fetishes… (1/2)

Seiji and Izawa's performance didn't last for too long.

It wasn't that they had gotten tired. Their elaborate performance had attracted too many people, with not only the bystanders, but even other cosplayers surrounding them and taking pictures. If they continued like this, they felt like they might disrupt the order of the convention.

After they stopped their performance, Kanna commanded them to make various poses and allow everyone to take pictures to their hearts' content before they were able to leave.

Compared to performing, standing there and making poses felt more embarrassing, but it was fine.

Seiji was worried at first that Kanna would have him and Izawa make some boys' love poses, but there were no such poses in the end. It seemed like Kanna had a conscience… not.

”These normal poses are already sufficient for my imagination (fantasies)! Overly intimate poses will instead ruin the image that I have of Renha-sama in my mind,” Kanna said.

'Just what image of Renha do you have in your mind?' Seiji wanted to ask this, but his instinct told him that it was best not to ask.

Kanna looked at him and asked, ”Harano-kun, what did you think of cosplaying?”

”About this…” Seiji paused for a moment. ”Although I was somewhat forced into it because I lost a bet, and I was cosplaying as a female character, it was still a fun experience.”

Seiji smiled. ”I shall probably cosplay again in the future, and do it as someone I want to cosplay as next time.”

*Snap!*

With lightning-quick fingers, Kanna took a photo of Seiji.

”Excellent picture! I give you full marks for your expression just now,” she said as she inspected the picture she just took and gave him a big thumbs-up.

Seiji was rendered speechless.

”Even if I only give this one picture to Yoruhana-san, that'll probably be enough to satisfy her.”

Seiji was astonished to hear this. ”You said… give my picture to Natsuya?”

”Yep, is that no good?” Kanna's mouth arced upwards.

”It's alright, but…” Seiji noticed something from this. ”Could it be that you actually…”

”Hahaha, you saw through me.” Kanna made an expression as if she was a villain who was about to give a grand speech about her nefarious scheme. ”That's right! The most important factor in me being able to convince Yoruhana-san to cosplay was that I promised her that I would make you cosplay as well, and give her a photo of you in cosplay!”

Seiji didn't know what to say anymore.

This was… quite a clever trap he fell into.

Had he been scammed? Kanna had seen through her target's desires and taken advantage of Natsuya, and was able to obtain the cosplay photos that she wanted from both sides through it.

'I'm so smart, aren't I amazing! Hurry up and praise me!' Kanna lifted her face and had a smug expression that transmitted such a message.

”Heh heh, for someone like me who's the strongest strategist on this continent, this is nothing but an insignificant trifle!” Kanna flipped her hair and made a cool pose.

'What's with calling yourself the strongest strategist on this continent?' Seiji commented in his mind.

”I have a question for you, Strategist-sama. If I won our bet, what would you have done?”

”You couldn't have possibly won!” Kanna maintained her cool pose. ”Because I actually made some modifications to the gaming device I loaned to you, which ensured that you wouldn't be able to defeat me.”

So insidious!

Seiji was astonished to hear that what he thought had been a fair duel actually had a trap like this.

”But, I didn't have to use the modifications in the end and beat you fair and square.”

”Making modifications to a gaming device like that isn't called fair and square in the first place!”

After retorting, he could only sigh.

”Besides, why didn't you tell me from the very start: 'If you're willing to cosplay, I'll give you Yoruhana-san's picture,' something like this instead of a bet?”

”Because it's more interesting this way, not to mention it's a good way to help time pass by,” Kanna told him directly.

Seiji was rendered speechless once again.

Kanna giggled upon seeing his expression.

She took out her cell phone and began using it.

Moments later, Seiji's cell phone beeped. When he checked to see what it was, it was a notification that he had a new email.

”These are Yoruhana-san's pictures; just treat it as an extra reward.” Kanna smiled and told him, ”Thank you for going along with me and participating for my amusement today, Harano-kun.”

Seiji looked towards Kanna. ”No need to be so polite; I had lots of fun as well. Let's go again next time,” he responded with a smile containing complex emotions.

Kanna's car took Seiji close by to the Uehara apartments.
