97 Fantasy?

BEEP* RING* CLICK*

With similar sounds, Yuuya placed the mobile on his ear and spoke.

"Hello, I'd like to report a case of Stalking, Yes my name i-"

"Whatever happened to hearing people out?!" Sajuna's shout once again resounded in the house.

A few minutes later,

"Why do you call the police so fast every time? Do you have their number on speed dial or something?" Sajuna's eyes twitched as this had happened twice in the last 20 or so minutes.

"I have my reasons," Yuuya said looking at Apophis.

"How Cute, do you think Police can stop me?" Apophis snickered.

'Well, she isn't wrong,' Yuuya thought while sipping some of his tea after taking a bite of the donut, He had come to the conclusion they weren't bad at least.

'They are weird,' Sajuna looked at Yuuya and Apophis, she had a feeling that something was off with Apophis the first time she met her outside this house, but she had no other choice but to believe her since.

"Juju-sama you're doing a new cosplay? Which character is it?" Marin was talking to Juju since she was the most interested in the topic. The intense beam from her eyes made it impossible for Sajuna to ignore her.

"Nikaido Shion's Black Lily Costume," Sajuna answered and got two reactions.

"Shion-tan, really? From The Fierce Flower Princess?" It was from Apophis and Marin.

Shion-tan was a character from a magical girl anime, she is the protagonist's rival in the show and turns into Princess Lily, But after finding out Neon the older sister she adores is an enemy she starts her villain arc.

Both of these characters Shion and Neon are very well-liked by the people who have watched the anime, they are also popular choices for cosplayers, especially Neon.

Marin knew about it because she had watched the show, and she was also the one who recommended it to Apophis.

And just in a second, the three started to discuss the anime among themselves. Even Sajuna seemed to be more outspoken regarding this topic.

But it seemed like Sajuna remembered the main reason she came here today.

"So, will you make it?" Sajuna asked again since she didn't get an answer before, and Yuuya's answer followed right after.

"No,"

Hearing the refusal most of the people in the room weren't shocked. It wasn't a surprise really.

"What? Yuuya th-" Marin was about to talk but Sajuna stopped her.

"I understand, I surely haven't made the best first impression, so, I can't say anything more," Sajuna sighed.

"Juju-sama, are you giving up?" Marin asked in shock, it would be really a pity if she did. She wanted to see Sajuna in a Black Lily cosplay.

"Give up? No, I'll try again later, I really liked the way your dress was made, so, I won't stop until he makes mine as well," Sajuna looked determined like a shounen protag who swore to accomplish his goal.

And Sajuna actually downplayed how much she liked the outfit made by Yuuya, she loved it. It was outstanding, she was able to see how carefully the outfit was made for Marin.

It was an Outfit that was made with only one person in mind and that was Marin, No one else would've been able to wear it other than her.

"How cool! Juju-sama is just like Shion-tan!!" Marin clapped, she was very impressed but...

"It would be better to give up, it won't happen," Yuuya seemed like he wanted to end this topic here rather than let it drag on.

"So, you're saying there is no chance of me getting a cosplay made by you?" Sajuna asked while raising her eyebrow as Yuuya nodded without saying anything.

'What is so different about her?' Sajuna looked at Marin carefully.

Marin tilted her head not understanding why Sajuna was looking at her.

But as she moved, 'They' moved as well, and naturally, Sajuna's eyes caught it.

'Geh,' Sajuna was dealt invisible damage as her eyes landed on her own chest after she looked at Marin's.

It was so bad that she glared at Yuuya.

"It is not what you are thinking?" Yuuya denied it outright.

"Oh, then what is it?" Sajuna suppressed her anger since she was quite sensitive about this topic.

"Yeah, what is it?" Apophis also chimed in with a grin.

And Grayfia who was standing behind Yuuya while pretending she wasn't interested in the topic, actually had her ears raised not wanting to miss out.

"You see, She..." Seeing Yuuya pause made a hundred thoughts run through Marin's mind.

'Is this the legendary scene that only happens in Shoujo Manga? Ohmigosh!!!' Marin was staying still but her mind was all over the place.

This was literally the scene where the Male lead and the Female lead become conscious of one another thanks to some jealous side character that wants to ruin the mood between them.

She was wondering which one is it going to be, Is it going to be the…..

'She ...isn't really special to me or anything,' Yuuya spoke with a blush. [*Note, This is an Imagination]

But she immediately discarded this possibility given that Yuuya was anything but a Tsundere, he might show some signs of it, but he was more outspoken than one can think.

So, by going with Yuuya's disposition, it should be more like...

'She ...is someone special to me,' Yuuya spoke with a faint smile.

Or

'She ...is someone I like,' Yuuya said while scratching his cheek feeling a little embarrassed while his ears turn red. [*Note, This is an imagination.]

'Ah, I might die if it is any of the two, What do I do? Should I stop him? Should I interrupt? No way in hell I am doing that!!' Marin was waiting with bated breath as the answer came.

"...Is an idiot,"

"GAH," Marin fell to the floor vomiting blood, they say reality is often disappointing, guess it isn't wrong.

Marin felt like she was dying in a different sense than she thought she would.

'Damn it, I should've interrupted him,' Marin thought lying on the floor.

"What type of answer is that?" Sajuna's eyes twitched as the answer didn't make any sense, but Yuuya didn't say anything and it was clear he won't say anything even if she asked him more questions.

A few minutes later, Marin was sitting up again, she still hadn't recovered from the blow earlier, but she was somewhat ok.

"Sajuna-chan, you should try again later, drop by anytime the door is always open," Apophis said with a friendly look, she was ignoring the eyes shot her way from the side like usual.

"This is really embarrassing, I even brought my measurements thinking there was no way you'd refuse," Sajuna sighed in defeat, she had prepared a lot for this but it didn't work at all.

"Did you bring your measurements along?" Yuuya asked the question making Sajuna look up.

"Yes, isn't that common sense?" Sajuna tilted her head to the side, she didn't know why Yuuya was asking such a question.

"I'll make it," Yuuya said making Sajuna's eyes open wide.

"What?"

"I said I'll make it, your cosplay costume," Yuuya said again while looking at Marin.

His gaze was saying 'Do you see that? This is how it is done,'

"Yuuya stop! your stare is killing me!!" Marin fell to the ground again as her HP was lowering by the second, she understood what he implied with that.

That was certainly something she understood she shouldn't have done after everything was over.

'But is it bad to think that it was a good thing I did that?' Marin's face turned a little red because the memories of that day were still fresh in her mind, though only a few parts of what happened.

She did try to play it cool at the time, but only she knew what was going on in her head at the time. Marin still turns red to this day whenever she thinks about it.

"You agreed to it a bit too easily, didn't you? I feel like all of my determination went in the gutter," Sajuna was conflicted about this, even more so when she saw Yuuya who didn't look like he cared much.

"Ah, so, I have something to say," Marin timidly raised her hand and looked at Sajuna.

It was rare to see Marin being timid, but nonetheless, she finished what she wanted to say.

"I really want to cosplay as Neon-Onee-Tama from the show ...So I was thinking if it was alright if we did the cosplay together?"

"NO!" The reply came back immediately from Sajuna who had no interest in doing cosplay together.

"Haha, I got rejected so fast, Imma go in the corner and eat some donuts," Marin laughed and stuffed her face into the donuts she picked up from the plate in front of Yuuya.
