617 I feel like I was scammed! (1/2)
”Hahaha… hahahahaha!!”
After remaining silent for a while, the dog head mask girl started laughing out much louder than her gentle chuckles from before. This handsome boy who pretended to have such deep emotions was just too much for her.
”What is this… haha… where did you quote that from… hahaha… truly amusing…”
'Of course it's amusing as I quoted it from a classic in my previous world,' Seiji thought to himself. He felt even more respect now for the comedy king who created this quote!
”What is this from? A movie or a television show? Or an anime?” the dog head mask girl asked again after she finally managed to stop laughing. ”You couldn't have possibly come up with that on the spot?”
”I saw it in a movie from Huaxia, although I forget which one it's from,” Seiji told her.
”A Huaxia movie…” The dog head mask girl paused for a moment. ”Excellent sincerity, Mr. Knight.”
”Thank you. As long as it pleases you.”
”I was even moved for a moment there, although it was because of comedy, not love. You put on such an excellent performance.” The dog head mask girl chuckled. ”You have excellent talent for acting. Perhaps we could even make a film together.”
”…Miss Dog Head Mask is actually an actress?” Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
”I told you before that I'm interested in cosplay. However, I'm not exactly an actress.” The dog head mask girl lifted her hand and slowly took off her mask.
The night breeze blew past and caused her beautiful black hair to flutter in the wind. Her incredibly beautiful appearance seemed just like the silver moon in the sky, pure to the point of being holy.
To his surprise, Seiji instantly recognized who she was. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
”Miyuki Sakuraku!?”
She was the beautiful national idol singer of Sakura Island who countless citizens loved!
”Ding dong! Aren't you pleasantly surprised, Mr. Knight?” Miyuki Sakuraku now spoke differently in a cuter and gentler voice than before. ”The mysterious girl that you had fun chatting with was actually a first-rate super popular idol! Aren't you delighted?”
”…Indeed,” Seiji muttered as he regained his sense. ”This is such a pleasant surprise.”
”I can even give you my autograph and take a selfie together with you.”
”…Thank you so much.”
”If you're so happy, you should show it more! Please give me another performance to express your feelings!”
”My acting ability is still on cooldown. I can't use it yet.”
”Then how about singing a song for me!”
”I don't have the courage to sing in front of the best singer in all of Sakura Island.”
”That's praise I like to hear, but I still want you to bring out your courage!”
”I need far more experience to level up my singing skill first.” Seiji looked directly at her. ”It's my honor to meet you, Sakuraku-san.”
Seiji highly doubted that she knew nothing about him at all. But since she was asking, he might as well introduce himself.
”I have two names. In this school, I'm known as Seigo Harano. To my friends, I'm known as Seiji Haruta.”
”What name should I address you as, then?”
”Either is fine.”
”Which name do you want me to use?” Miyuki spoke in an ambiguous tone.
”Whichever you like,” Seiji replied calmly.
”It would seem that Mr. Knight is truly an herbivore man… Well, that's fine as well.” Miyuki chuckled. ”I'll just call you Harano-kun then. Very nice to meet you.”
She then put her mask back on.
”This is a special favor I'm doing just for you, letting you see who I really am. You can't tell anyone else about this.”
”…What about that autograph and selfie you promised me?”
”I'll give you an autograph right now if you give me pen and paper. As for a selfie, you'll have to take one with my mask on.”
”I feel like I was just scammed!”
”I've never taken a selfie before with anyone else while looking like this. You should feel honored!” Miyuki made a V for victory pose with her fingers like how she always did on television. This seemed rather abnormal because she had her dog head mask on.
”Although it's difficult for me to accept, I suppose it sort of counts as a type of memory.” Seiji really did take out his cell phone and took a picture of him together with Miyuki. ”As for pen and paper? Please wait for me for five minutes!”
