Just as the two were talking, suddenly a little girl about seven or eight years old ran up to Ye Xing, looked at the pure black mask on his face, and the hem of his coat that Kawasaki Saki had cut to imitate a burning effect, and looked up curiously.
"Excuse me, are you cosplaying as 'Masked Man'?"
Kitagawa Umi was afraid that Yexing would say something abstract, so he responded first.
"Little sister, do you also know 'Mask'?"
The little girl nodded seriously.
"Well, 'Masked' is my idol, can you take a photo with us, onee-san?"
"Okay, no problem."
Kitagawa Umi took the phone handed over by the little girl's mother, and watched the little girl sit directly on Ye Xing's legs and make an intimate gesture of "yeah", and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"It's done."
The little girl took the phone and looked at the photo, then returned the phone to her mother, looked at Kitagawa Umi and Yexing, and bowed politely.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big sister."
After the little girl returned to her seat, Kitagawa Umi seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled at Yexing beside her.
"By the way, did you know? According to an online survey a while ago, the support rate of 'Mask' among male netizens was 72%, while among female netizens, it was as high as 84%. Especially among children under ten years old, the support rate even exceeded 90%."
"Wow, I'm so popular?"
Hearing Ye Xing say this in the first person, Kitagawa Kaimeng gently hit his shoulder and said with a smile in his eyes.
"You really are a natural cosplayer. You've already gotten into it. I'm talking about 'Masquerade', not you. Anyway, 'Masquerade' has a very high support rate. Look at Saki's sister Jinghua. Isn't she also a loyal fan of 'Masquerade'?"
Ye Xing nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, 'Mask' is too good. Such an excellent person should have a harem."
"What are you talking about? Maybe the 'mask' is actually a woman?"
"There's absolutely no chance of that."
...........
When arriving at the event site, Kitagawa Umi looked at the beautiful open-air square in front of her, where cosplayers wearing various cosplay costumes had gathered in groups of three or four, and her eyes were shining.
"This is... a cosplay event. This is my first time here."
Kitagawa Umi murmured to herself, then looked at Ye Xing beside her and smiled sweetly.
"It's great to be able to follow you and participate in a cosplay event for the first time."
As soon as Ye Xing and Kitagawa Kaimeng arrived at the scene, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.
Ye Xing himself plays the role, and the "Mask" is restored to a one-to-one degree, so needless to say.
The costume of Kuroe Shizuku cosplayed by Kitagawa Umi is made by Saki Kawasaki with exquisite craftsmanship, and the makeup she put on carefully after getting up early in the morning makes it a highly realistic reproduction of the character.
The key is......
"Your role doesn't seem to be a serious one, does it?"
"Eh? Not serious?"
Kitagawa Umi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise.
"Yehxing-san, it turns out that you have also played the shameless Miracle Life II of the Saint Slimy Girls' Academy Miss in the Shame Club?"
Ye Xing glanced at Kitagawa Umi and admired her sincerely.
"Wow, your lung capacity is really amazing."
"This is not important."
Kitagawa Umi looked very happy.
"Great, I thought Shashi and I were the only ones who played this."
"Ah? Kawasaki also played this game?"
"Yes, in order to ensure the accuracy of the costumes, I supervised her through the game. As expected of Saki, she noticed a lot of details that I didn't notice during the game."
After hearing this, Ye Xing finally understood.
No wonder Saki Kawasaki didn't come along today.
Logically speaking, as the creator of the cosplay costume, when wearing it for the first time...Oh, that's not right.
The first time she wore it was probably when she wore the sexy bunny girl costume with Mai Sakurajima.
In short, this was the first exhibition of clothes that Saki Kawasaki made herself, and given her love for tailoring skills, she should have come to the scene to listen to what the people there said about the clothes.
This is the reason why she didn't come.
Kawasaki Saki knows that Kitagawa Ummu cos...
It's a butter character!!!
When it comes to this kind of thing, she is obviously not as thick-skinned as Kitagawa Umi, and of course she can't just follow along and feel the weird looks and comments from others.
"Speaking of which, today we are still a team."
"combination?"
Seeing Kitagawa Umi tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face, Ye Xing chuckled.
"I'm an old butter shooter. We're a butter duo. That makes sense."
Kitagawa Umi curled her lips, seemed a little unhappy, and muttered softly.
"Shizuku-chan isn't such a simple character, huh."
Just then, a tall, fashionably dressed young beauty holding a camera walked into the event site.
She glanced around the venue and noticed Ye Xing and Kitagawa Kaimeng standing there. Her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly walked up to them and asked.
"Eh? Excuse me, is this your cosplay of 'Masked'?"
Before Ye Xing could reply, the young woman circled around him, observing him carefully, muttering to herself.
"It's so similar, so similar, it's exactly the same as when I saw it that time."
Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Umi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Eh? Have you ever seen the Mask himself?"
"of course."
The young beauty looked smug and replied with a smile.
"I was right there when 'Mask' made his first public appearance. I also wrote the article about the Sunny Doll Killer, which made 'Mask' pay attention to this murderer."
Kitagawa Kaimeng looked very admiring and was about to say something when he heard Ye Xing say lightly beside him.
"Ms. Suga Natsumi, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Suga Natsumi looked at Yexing and said in surprise.
"You are...Yehsei-san? Why are you here?"
"What else can be done?"
Ye Xing shrugged and replied nonchalantly.
"Of course, as you can see, I came to accompany a friend of mine to participate in the cosplay event."
"I see. Come to think of it, your figure is indeed very similar to 'Mask'."
"Well, that's an honor for 'Mask'."
"You guys, you really are the opposite of Tian Gang, coser said the original owner?"
"Haha, it's still unclear who will rebel against Tiangang."
Listening to the conversation between the young beauty named Suga Natsumi and Yexing, Kitagawa Umi keenly noticed a detail.
The other party recognized Ye Xing's voice after just hearing one sentence?
There are only two explanations for this.
The first one is that the two people are very familiar with each other.
The second type is Miss Suga Natsumi, who has a very deep impression of Yexing.
Kitagawa Umi took a closer look at Suga Natsumi, who was wearing a tank top and hot pants and had a manicure. She looked very fashionable and exuded the mature charm of an older sister. She couldn't help but feel a little wary.
No, absolutely not.
She has to defend this position for her good friend Saki Kawasaki!
"Ms. Suga."
Kitagawa Umi looked at Suga Natsumi with a polite attitude, but there was a firm tone in his words.
"This is my first time attending a cosplay event, so if you don't have anything to do, can we talk after the event?"
"Oh...I see..."
Suga Natsumi glanced at Kitagawa Umi, who was dressed as Kuroe Shizuku, and said meaningfully to Yexing.
"Girlfriend? From the sound of her voice, I think she wasn't there when I interviewed her last time?"
"We're just ordinary friends for now."
"Hehe, temporarily..."
Suga Natsumi did not dwell on this topic too much. She just looked at Kitagawa Umi again, then raised the camera in her hand and smiled.
"My dear classmate, it was purely coincidental that I came here to see the night star. I was originally here to take pictures."
"Photograph?"
When he heard this word and looked at the professional SLR camera in Suga Natsumi's hand, Kitagawa Umi was already a little hesitant.
Then, she heard the other party say a word that she could not refuse at all.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I work in an editorial agency. I'm a reporter, so I'm very professional when it comes to taking photos."
When Kitagawa Umi heard the word "professional", her eyes began to light up.
"Ms. Nasuga, can you help me..."
Before Kitagawa Umi could finish her words, Suga Natsumi waved her hand, her words showing the composure of a mature older sister.
"Since you are Yexing's friend, you are my friend. You are welcome to do something as trivial as taking pictures. Let's get started."
"Thank you, Ms. Suga!"
"Don't be so polite, just call me Xia Mei."
"Okay, Sister Xia Mei."
Listening to the conversation between Kitagawa Umi and Suga Natsumi, Yexing couldn't help but sigh.
The poor changing doll was played around by the mature older sister.
In just a few words, he forgot his original position.
However, Kitagawa Umi has an easy-going and lively personality, so it is not surprising that she gets along so well with Suga Natsumi.
.......
The one and a half hour activity time in the morning passed quickly.
Natsumi Suga not only took photos of Kitagawa Umi, but also took photos of Yexing.
It is better to say that taking photos of Hai Meng is actually repairing the plank road.
The popular character "Masked" cosplayed by Ye Xing, which has a very high degree of restoration and is as if the real person appears in the scene, is what Suga Natsumi really wants to shoot.
Moreover, she had another idea in her mind.
Before the Sunny Doll Killer incident, Natsumi Suga was very interested in Ye Xing, who dared to reveal his name and appearance and openly denounced the serial killer, and wanted to find an opportunity to do another interview.
If we could get Ye Xing's consent to include the photo of him cosplaying as "Mask" together with the content of the next interview in the writing, it would definitely cause a sensation!
Natsumi Suga even thought of a title.
