Chapter 11: Cosplay

Its been around six months since the school started and I am getting really bored. Like when you have watched all the good animes and read all the good mangas kind of bored. There is just nothing to do here.

I have nobody to test my real powers on. What's the point of having them if you are not gonna use them. So I figured, why don't I use Shadow Clones for a spar? I tried that and it didn't go out very well. I went to the forest where I usually train and placed a illusionary barrier that makes it seem like normal on the entire forest. The barrier also repels people so no one will wander in while I am fighting.

But I underestimated my power. I thought that since the shadow clones are obviously weaker than the original it'll be fine. It was not fine. At the end our fight, in which I was holding back but not as much, the forest was destroyed. There were craters, scorch marks, slashes and uprooted trees everywhere.

Now this was the moment I started freaking out but then I remembered about [Nature Magic] and thankfully it was able to make it so that the forest looked like it was never destroyed in the first place.

Let's just say that I am not doing that again till we get summoned.

Today was a dull day too. Nothing out the ordinary in school and other things. After the school ended it was my chance to clean the classroom. I told Shizuku, Kaori, Nene and Eri to not wait for me and go. Yes, I said Eri. She was in my class too so they of course met through me and all of them became great friends.

I did my work slowly at my own pace while listening to some music. Why should I put effort to use my powers on something as menial as this?

Around 40 minutes later I was done and the floor was sparkling. I may be a bit of a clean freak at times but not much.

I picked up my bag and walked out the classroom with only one of the earbuds in my ear so that if someone calls me I can respond to them. I made my way past many different clubrooms while going out.

The are a variety clubs in this school like the basic clubs like baseball, soccer, basketball and some unordinary clubs like sewing club, fashion club and such.

Speaking of which, I just passed by the sewing club. They do what their name say and usually work together with the fashion club to make clothes.

"Ouch!!" I heard someone scream from inside the club room. This is wierd because the club should be closed right now. I peeked inside and saw a girl working with a sewing machine. I am guessing she got hurt because of that.

I went inside and I saw Marin sitting there with a piece of clothing with her index finger in her mouth, this was probably because she got hurt.

I stepped closer to her and when I was close enough she finally noticed me. Her eyes went wide seeing me "Eh?" this was the only response that came out of her mouth. "Hey Marin-San didn't expect to see you here." I said with a smile.

Of course I know what she was doing but I am gonna act like I dont because I'll come off as creepy if I already know what she was doing before she even told me.

"Oh hey Akira-Kun!" She composed herself and said with her usual cheerfulness. Over the past few months we got on a first name basis.

"Isnt the club supposed to be closed today?" I asked. "Yeah but I burrowed the club room for today from my friend" she said as she went back to what she was doing. "That's worng by the way." I said making her look at me in shock and excitement.

"Woah! You can do this stuff Akira-Kun?! This is real amazing! Why didn't you tell me?!" She said very quickly with her eyes sparkling in excitement. "How do you know how sew? We dont have home economics classes!!"

"Well I do live alone and I just picked it up because I was bored" I said with a smile. "So can you make clothes?" She asked. "Of course I can" I declare proudly.

This is true. I picked up alot of things to alleviate my boredom and it worked to some extent. As a result, I now have a plethora of such skill like singing, sewing, painting.

Suddenly she started to take off her thin sweater and loosening her tie as to get naked. This caused me to panic and blush a little. "Oi!! What're you doing?!" I said while I looked at her undressing. "Oh? Are you blushing? I've never seen you flustered before" she said in a cheeky tone. I just shut up and looked the other way.

Just because I don't want a relationship doesn't mean that I dont have desires. I am a healthy teen after all.

*Ruffle**Ruffle**Ruffle**Ruffle*

"Akira-Kun turn around" she said as the ruffling of the clothes stopped. I slowly turned around and saw her in a dress? Can it be called a dress? She was wear a black dress which reached upto her thighs and had wide arm cuffs. She also wore a neckpiece of the same color.

".... I am still practicing, alright? I am still practicing but- Well....What do you think?" She asked in a cute embarrassed manner. "What do I think? First of all, what outfit is that?" I asked, obviously confused.

She pulled out her phone and showed me an anime girl in a gothic lolita fashioned clothes. "Uh~ Uhmm~ Well~ I tried.... Making clothes like that..." She said while shyly fidgeting.

"Huh?" I said as I couldn't process what she just said. To say that I was shocked was an understatement. "Is that a joke? Surely you are joking right?" I said in an unbelieving tone.

"Huh? No I'm not kidding, I seriously made this" She said in a confused tone with a sweat drop. "No way! I mean, you can't make something this bad without trying deliberately!" I exclaimed, totally shocked.

-----3rd Person POV-----

Suddenly an arrow pierced Marin's heart. "I dont really get it but why isn't there lining?" Akira asked. "Lining....? What's a lining?" Marin asked in an embarrassed tone.

"You don't know something that simple?! I can't believe this... You didn't even do a back stitch so its wrinkled!! You didn't set the lower thread!! How do you expect this to be sown properly!! Ah! You forgot the margin of the seam didn't you?! Also-" Akira suddenly stopped his rant when he looked at Marin, who had tears forming in her eyes.

'Ah shit! Fuck what do I do now!?' He thought as he tried think of a solution to fix the situation but couldn't find any. Not getting any solutions, he just went with his gut feeling and hugged her tightly.

She also surprisingly accepted the hug and buried her face in his chest while hugging him back. Akira slowly patted her head in a calming and soothing way and said, "Sorry.... I didn't mean that. I just got caught up in the moment."

"Mmm. It's okay, I am not mad" she said as she slowly lets go of him with a red face. "Umm.... This is for... I made this for cosplay purposes!" She said, quickly regaining her cheerful attitude.

"Is that so." Akira said. "Yep! Cosplay! With cosplay you can show your feelings fully! Isn't that amazing!? Also..... ISN'T IT THE ULTIMATE LOVE?!" Marin explained explained very excitedly.

"I dont have my own sewing machine so I made it here after school. But it looks like.... That making something like this clearly isnt my strong point.... And so...." She paused mid sentence and grabbed Akira's hand tightly with both if her hands. "Can you make cosplay for me....?!" She asked with an expectant expression.

-----1st Person POV-----

"Yeah sure!" I said immediately because I didn't have anything to do anyways. "I can't really do anything myself.... But even so, I really wanna do something for Shizuku-Tan... I love her so I want to do this. Please Akira-Kun....-" She continued but suddenly looked up with a confused expression.

"Ummm, can you repeat what you just said?" She asked. "I said 'Yeah Sure' after you asked if I'll make cosplay for you or not" I replied while still smiling.

"For real? Are you sure?" She asked, not believing what I just said. "Yes I am 100% sure" Just as I said that she jumped in happiness, "Horray~~~~~~! I'm super happy... I'm real happy! Eh- Ah, tears are flowing out...."

She continued celebrating as I just sat there looking at her with a smile while thinking, 'It really means that much to her huh? I just agreed to relieve my boredom but of it makes her this happy then I'll certainly give ot my all'

"You're that excited to become her?" I asked out loud and she just turned towards me wirh a huge smile and said, "Yup!".

"By the way, where is she from?" I asked her about 'Shizuku-Tan'. "Oh! She is 'Saint♡Slimy Girls Highschool: Madame's Shameless Miracle Life In The Disgraceful Club 2's' Kuroe Shizuku-Tan"

"What was that?" I asked with a deadpan face.

_______________________________________

This is it for this chapter. Also for all those who are asking when will the group chat come, it will come probably in the next chapter or the chapter after that. I am doing this because I atleast want a base on which the girls get their feelings for Akira and they get a little character development. I don't want them to just fall for him because he is handsome. But when I dont find a reason good enough to make a seperate chapter of one girl then I'll just add the reason in short in a timeskip or something like that.

See you in the next chapter 👋
