I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 38 Nagisa Kaoru

When we arrived at the Comic Exhibition, it was a large cultural center that was temporarily rented out to otakus from the island countries. Uncle Tianhai and he moved it several times, using a small cart to transport a thousand single volumes to the designated booth.

The rented booth was a bit out of the way, surrounded by colleagues who were also selling picture albums. Most of them were painters from the outside world. Most of the female painters sold some eye-catching sexy products. Many of them hired professional cosplay models to stand behind the table like him.

A signboard or sales representative is used to attract customers.

"Wow! It's Xun! He has such a good temperament and looks too good, right?"

The first female customer exclaimed a few words, took the booklet of Hypnosis Academy from Uncle Tianhai, paid without looking at it, then stood next to Fujii with the book in her arms, picked up her phone, and took a photo with him with a business smile.

One piece.

"Thanks."

The female customer leaned forward and nodded, reluctant to leave his side.

“One thousand yen per book comes with a photo of professional cosplayer Nagisa Kaoru.”

There is no way, there is such a billboard in front of Uncle Tianhai's stall, relying on this benefit to attract customers to the door.

"Fujii-kun, I didn't expect you to have such a part-time job?"

Before the morning had passed, Kamiya Rin, who was sitting next to her in the classroom, was wearing a gothic Lolita dress, a blue tie around her neck, and dark eye makeup, and she noticed Fujii.

No, I met a classmate. Kamiya-san’s words shouldn’t spread randomly, right?

Fujii covered his face subconsciously. This would be embarrassing for anyone. Fortunately, Miss Kamiya Rin doesn’t speak an average of a hundred words a day. She shouldn’t cause trouble for a commoner like herself.

"Hmm? Special episode of Hypnosis Academy, one thousand yen? Get a photo together."

Rin Kamiya held his chin with his hand, picked up the single book on the stall, and scanned the QR code with his mobile phone to pay.

"Come on, smile."

Kamiya Rin put her elbow on his shoulder, whispered, picked up the phone, and the two of them smiled. After the flash, they became cold again, separated from each other, and she left without looking back.

Originally, I planned to devote all one day of the comic exhibition to sales, but I didn’t expect that the character cosplayed by Fujii was so effective. At around three o’clock in the afternoon, all one thousand copies were sold out. After smiling for several hours, Fujii just felt like

The muscles on his face were stiff. If he continued like this, he would be able to reproduce the signature smile of the motherland. He asked Uncle Tianhai to close the stall alone, and he planned to go shopping.

With his hands in his pockets, his silver hair and red eyes, he not only conforms to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, but is also in the strike zone of the islanders. After walking a few steps, he encountered people asking for photos one after another. They declined one by one. He no longer wanted to take pictures today.

Unit 1?

As a card player for two generations, Doragon (dragon) and Gangdamu (referring to robots) are his favorite themes. It is rare to see a cosplayer wearing a leather suit of Unit 1, with a dark purple body and a light body.

Decorated with green lines, holding a double-pronged spiral Longinus gun, and with a slender figure, he should be a female cosplayer.

"EVA is so high! It's awesome!"

"Can you change your posture?"

"One book is satisfying, and the next book is really satisfying."

A group of veteran geeks, armed with long guns and short cannons, and various high-end SLR cameras, surrounded the cosplayers of Unit 1 in a circle.

The cosplayer of Unit 1 pointed the Longinus gun at the onlookers Fujii Shu and hooked him.

"Wocao, there's a Nagisa Kaoru here, it's really interesting."

"Can you please take a photo of the two of you? Thank you very much! I will transfer the photo to you after the end."

EVA's status in the animation circle of the island country is like the holy city of Jerusalem for the Arabs. These dead people have to get out of the way, so that Fujii Shu, who cosplays Kaoru Nagisa, can stand with the cosplayer of Unit 1.

The Unit-00 cosplayer didn't speak during the entire process, but they leaned against each other in tacit understanding, stood opposite each other, and faced different directions. Fujii put on a serious face, and the Unit-00 cosplayer turned on the LED lights in his eyes.

Shine out.

The next action was that Unit 1's hands strangled Fujii's neck, and Fujii's eyes closed as if waiting for death, without any resistance.

After a dozen more looks, Fujii ended the photo shoot and exchanged LINE contact information with an otaku in a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses that he liked. The Unit-1 cosplayer also left the scene, wearing a tight-fitting cosplay.

The leather case is probably not very comfortable, maybe because I am tired.

Putting the Longinus gun in his hand on the partition wall of the women's bathroom, the cosplayer of Unit 1 took off his helmet, revealing a quiet and delicate face. Unexpectedly, it was Chika Akiyama, the representative of the good students in the class, the monitor.

Does he also like EVA?

You shouldn't realize it's me, right?

Chika Akiyama was thinking as she took off her cosplay suit. This suit was made by her ingenious hand. Secretly, she is also a senior otaku, but she never exposes herself in class. Normally

The conversation with the girl was all about fashion, but in fact it was all the knowledge she gleaned from magazines.

Fujii-san, it’s rare that you don’t hate me? It’s a pity that you have a girlfriend! I’m so sorry.

Chika Akiyama thought about how they had just gotten along, leaning against each other so closely that they could feel each other's body temperature. Even when viewed from a close distance, Fujii's face was still so handsome, as if he were a character in an anime that has come to life in the real world.

How can you think like this! This is immoral behavior, you should check yourself.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she covered her red cheeks, lowered her head shyly, and shook her head desperately to get rid of that shameful thought.

Fujii didn't realize that the Unit-1 cosplayer was Chika Akiyama. After shopping around, he returned to Uncle Amami's stall. Things had been packed. They got in the car together and went home to end today's sales activity.

"A whole million yen!"

After Uncle Tianhai came home, he opened a bottle of beer and sighed, "If I come here a few more times, I won't have to work this year."

"It's a beautiful idea. Only the first time is the best. You even helped me draw the background of the chainsaw man tonight."

Fujii opened a can of Coke and sat on the sofa to taste it. This kind of thing cannot be regarded as the main source of income. It is too unstable.

And if I am embarrassed, I will become a cowherd in Rokugimoto and easily earn tens of millions of yen a month, no matter what.

Fujii doesn't want to earn this kind of money, and he doesn't want to experience things like Rich Woman's Happy Ball, so it's better to have some moral integrity.

"By the way, editor Shizuru Yichuan asked a few days ago that he wanted you to take some photos and put them in the magazine to attract traffic. Would you like to do it?"

Uncle Tianhai remembered something, turned around and asked.

"No, I don't need more fame. The trouble caused by playing football is enough."

Fujii clasped his hands together and declined Uncle Tianhai's proposal. Isn't this a disguised form of betrayal? What's the difference between it and those girls in later generations who wore tight clothes and exposed their breasts to play the piano? It's just a different carrier.

I still want to live quietly, just being a salted fish is enough.

He looked up at the ceiling, thinking endlessly.
