Chapter 61 - Mahora Festival 24

"They both participated in the cosplay competition," said Rin, holding her forehead. "It's all because of your little brother sweet words."

Hearing Rin explanation. Shirou can already guess what really happened and what Negi had said to Makie and Ayaka. Moreover, Negi is someone who is very predictable, so it is not strange for Shirou to predict what Negi do.

"Let me guess, Negi talk to Ayaka-san and Makie-san how cute they if they do some cosplaying. Ayaka-san and Makie-san then hooked by Negi sweet talk and did the cosplaying," Shirou said, feeling a headache. With his little brother naivety.

"Wow, I don't know you can do such a detailed analysis Shirou," said Rin who was quite surprised to hear deduction.

"Given how predictable Negi's character and behavior is, it's easy for me to predict he did," said Shirou.

"I'm that predictable, huh," Negi said, who became sad hearing Shirou words.

"Aniki you're just still a little kid," Camo said, who was currently on Negi pocket. "So don't be sad just because you're so predictable."

"Negi is predictable?" Kotaro said. "I think he is not like that."

"You can say that because you're also just a kid Kotaro," said Rin. "Your life experience is still lacking, so it's natural that you don't see Negi as an predictable person."

"Eh, Rin-nee-san I don't really understand what is the meaning of the words you told me earlier," Kotaro said. "But I will keep your words in my mind! Until I understand it, moreover I think your words seem quite important."

"Rin-Nee, if you already finished advising Kotaro, how about we continue watching the cosplay competition," Chamo said. "It will not long till Chisame-Nee turn to appear."

"Ah, sorry Chamo," said Rin. "I wonder what costume Chisame-san will wear."

"Eh, Chamo how do you know when Chisame-san will appear?" Shirou asked.

"On the big screen on the stage there is a list of participant names," Replied Chamo. "Now we just have to wait what kind of costume she will wear for the competition!"

"Ayaka-nee-san and Makie-nee-san are wearing costumes from the popular Magical Girl Biblion anime," Kotaro said. "I think Chisame-nee-san also will use some costume from that anime."

"Ko-Kotaro, you know about the Magical Girl Biblion anime?" Asked Negi.

"Of course I do," Kotaro replied. "All the students in my class, whether male or female, watch the anime, and Ayaka-nee-san apartment I was forced to watch that anime by Chizu-nee and Natsumi-nee-san because of that all know all the thing about the Magical Girl Biblion anime! Even in my opinion that anime is not bad and good enough to watch. "

"I never thought that Kotaro who is always say manly thing loves to watch anime for girls is really surprising!" Negi said.

"Eh, I don't think it's too surprising Negi," said Shirou. "Because Rin and I also like that anime. Because of the influence of Illya, Kuro and Miyu and Lizz."

"Uuh what am I doing here!" Chisame right now is really feeling very nervous. Originally she has no intention to participating in a cosplay competition. But for some reason, suddenly her name was listed on the participant's list. As a result, she inevitably had to participate in the cosplay competition.

"Hey Chisame-chan!" Makie, who is still wearing the Biblio Pink Tulip costume, patted Chisame on the shoulder, who is currently wearing the Biblio Roulan Rouge costume, who is the main enemy of the Magical Girl Biblion. "Are you ready to do the best in the cosplay competition! With the costumes you choose I think you willl win. It's not in vain that I registered you in the competition just a few minutes before registration closes!"

"So you're the one who did it!" Chisame said. "I have absolutely no intention of participating in the cosplay competition you know!"

"Eeeeeh!" Makie said in surprise. "But doing cosplay is your hobby isn't it, that's why I signed you up! Because I didn't see your name on the participant list at all. Because I thought you forgot to register!"

"I didn't forget to register!" Chisame said. "I really have no intention of registering, because I just want to watch a cosplay competition! Not to becamr the participants! "

"S-so I made a mistake," Makie suddenly emitted an aura of disappointment from her body. And on her face there were tears pouring down. "I'm sorry Chisame-chan, I thought you would be happy if I signed you up, sob."

Seeing Makie who is innocent and stupid trying to do good thing for her. And because her word making Makie cry. Chisame didn't know what to respond to, she was really touched by Makie's sincerity. Even though Makie's sincerity gives Chisame a lot of trouble.

"Don't mind it Makie," said Chisame with a sigh. "I already forgive you. And because I already entered this. I will try my best to win it."

"Chisame-chan!" Makie said who was happy with Chisame's words while hugging Chisame tightly.

"Uuukh ukkh, Ma-Makie I know you're happy, but can you take your hug off. It's hard to breath," said Chisame whose face had turned pale due to lack of oxygen.

"Haaaik!" Said Makie who immediately let go of her hug.

Chisame finally could breathe a sigh of relief, after Makie let go of her hug.

'Makie is completely different from her usual self, what's up with Makie? Why is she like someone else? '

"PARTICIPANTS NO. 18 CHISAME HASEGAWA IS HOPE TO COME TO THE STAGE IMMEDIATELY, ONCE AGAIN PARTICIPANTS CHISAME HASEGAWA WE WISH YOU TO COME TO THE STAGE!"

"Chisame-chan you were called by the host!" Makie said. "Come on, hurry up, you have to appear on stage!"

Because Chisame and Makie are currently right behind the stage curtain. Makie pushed Chisame right to the front of the stage behind the curtain.

Chisame who is sddenly pushed by Makie, became shocked and her body reflexively flipped forward. because of the intense shock and reflex to protect herself felt by her body. Chisame did something normally impossible for someone who have an untrained Chisame body, Chisame doing a beautiful flip.

"OOOOOOH PARTICIPANTS CHISAME APPEAR ON THE STAGE WHILE DOING A REALLY BEAUTIFUL SALTO! REALLY AMAZING WAY TO APPEAR! "

Chisame's face turned red with embarrassment and annoyance, embarrassed because she appeared on stage in a way she didn't want, annoyed that again Makie got her into trouble by pushing her like that.

Below the stage in the front crowd.

"Wow, I just found out that Chisame can do a beautiful flip like that," said Rin. "I thought in this class only Makie, Kaede and Mana could do such a complicated move."

"Maybe Chisame-san wants to show off, because this is a Cosplay competition she really wants to win!" Negi said.

"I just couldn't do flips that gracefully," Kotaro said. "That Onee-san is really great!"

"I don't think she can do such a complicated movement on reflex alone," said Shirou. "You can see Chisame-san's face looks so annoyed. It proves that Chisame-san feel annoyed at something. Maybe someone pushed her from behind the stage and at that time her body would fall Chisame's body flipped on reflex and I think that why she looked so upset. "

"I think Shirou-Aniki word is right," said Chamo. "But I also feel Chisame-nee body has some extraordinary reflexes if she can make such a great move."

"Maybe she has a talent in acrobatics or gymnastics," said Rin. "Considering Chisame-san is a person who doesn't really like to do a sports."

"Well, no matter what the cause, Chisame-san still makes an amazing appearance," said Negi. "I hope she can be the winner of this competiton."

"Are you kidding, Negi!" Kotaro said. "There's no way that Onee-san could lose after doing something like that!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'Damn Makie! Always giving me trouble!' Chisame said with a face that is still flushed after demonstrates the movements made by the Biblion Roulan Rouge like the one in the anime. Even though she is upset, Chisame is still able to carry out the movements of the anime characters she plays so precisely because of the character deepening she often does when she does cosplay alone in her room.

Not long after the Cosplay competition was over, the announcement of the winner's name was finally announced.

"THE WINNER OF SECRET COSPLAY COMPETITION IS PARTICIPANT No. 16 CHISAME HASEGAWA!"

Chisame thinks her efforts to do a cosplay secretly are not in vain, because she won the secret cosplay competition in first place beating Makie and Ayaka who are in 2nd and 3rd place, but the next words uttered by the host making her dissapointed.

"THE JUGDE DECIDED PARTICIPANTS CHISAME TO BE THE CHAMPIONS, BECAUSE THE SALTO SHE DO, WAS REALLY A PERFECT COPY OF BIBLION ROULAN ROUGE MOVE IN THE ANIME! BECAUSE OF THAT SHE REALLY DESERVE THE CHAMPION TITLE!"

Chisame didn't know what to say. Because even tough she became a champion, somehow she didn't feel happy at all.

"Wow! Chisame-san became champion!" Negi said.

"Yup, that Onee-san is really do a good thing when she mimic the movement of the Biblion Roulan Rouge," said Kotaro. "They exactly look alike!"

"Well, the character she cosplaying often does some flips and salto when appears in front of the Magical Girl Biblion," Rin said. "So I don't think it's strange that the judges make her the champion."

"It would be great if she became a champion," said Shirou. "But somehow I got the feeling that bad things will happen."

"Shirou what do you mean?" Rin asked.

"Don't you remember what Chisame said to me before we did time travel," replied Shirou. "I think something bad will happen to Chisame and I will help her."

"Hmm, you are right," said Rin. "But what do you think will happen?"

"That's what I really want to know," said Shirou.

And just finished Shirou said,

In the stage when Chisame, Makie, and Ayaka will get their thropy.

"Kyaaaaa! Makie you stupid girk what are you doing!" Chisame screamed loudly because Makie made Chisame underwear visible.

"You know, I just pulled a strand of thread that was visible on your costume," said Makie innocently. "But how come the costume you are wearing became like that?"

"Ma-Makie-san! What are you doing!" Ayaka said. "Why did you even make Chisame-san's costume come off like that!"

"I'm just trying to help Chisame-chan class rep," said Makie. "But somehow it always leads to a disaster for her."

The audience below the stage shouted loudly because Chisame did something amazing on stage and the audience responded with various reactions.

"Wow amazing fan service!"

"Again show me more!"

"Ooh Chisame-chan we loves you!"

And Shirou, who finally knew what had happened, acted quickly. Shirou made a blanket using tracing then he ran onto the stage and covered Chisame's body using the blanket. Of course Shirou closed his eyes when he covered Chisame's body, because Shirou did not want to accept Rin's anger. Then Shirou carried Chisame and brought her down from the stage.

The audience below the stage protested at what Shirou was doing. but Shirou didn't care, what he cared about right now was to take Chisame off the stage so that Chisame wouldn't be embarrassed more than what happened.

"Gosh, so that was the bad thing that happened," Rin said. "No wonder Chisame-san really looks so grateful to Shirou."
