"Click."
The sound of scissors closing echoed in her ears, followed by falling hair.
Akira let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
"I was actually a bit nervous."
"Even though it's already so unstandardized."
Akira complained, putting down the wig he was holding.
"Eh, Akira -nii isn't continuing?"
Shinju looked at Akira curiously; she thought Akira -nii would finish Souma-nii's wig today.
"Ah, I'm a bit nervous, and trimming hair like this might not match the actual effect."
Akira explained, even though his cutting and sewing skill levels were not low.
But for Shinju to enjoy her cosplay, he should still try to be as careful as possible.
"Oh, right."
Akira turned his head and asked Sajuna, "Sajuna knows how to do makeup, right?"
"Eh? Yes, I do."
Akira took Sajuna's hand, "Although Shinju's cosplay makeup this time can be done by Sajuna, can Sajuna teach me how to do makeup?"
Akira looked at Sajuna in front of him excitedly.
Learning makeup from his girlfriend was inherently something that added to the fun of their relationship.
As early as ancient times, there was the boudoir pleasure of husband and wife painting each other's eyebrows.
"Eh, Aki-Kun wants to learn too?"
Akira nodded, "After all, if Sajuna wants to cosplay in the future, wouldn't Sajuna want me to help her with her makeup?"
Akira's face was full of smiles.
Although Wakana helped Marin with her makeup because Marin didn't know how to do it.
But he really wanted to help Sajuna with her makeup!
A girl, blushing, waiting for a boy to adorn her as the most beautiful woman in the world.
It was already an incredibly anticipated and incredibly happy thing.
"Want, want."
Sajuna stammered in response, a scene involuntarily appearing in her mind: Akira gently holding her cheek, taking a powder puff brush, and lightly sweeping it across her face.
It was just too embarrassing!
Just thinking about it made her feel a little shy and a little excited.
Sajuna looked up at Akira in front of her, and in the boy's eyes, a strange light seemed to flicker.
"Aki-Kun."
Sajuna called out softly.
"Sister."
Shinju interrupted Sajuna's upcoming affectionate act; her sister was always acting as if she wasn't aware that her younger sister was right there.
Such a sister was truly terrible!
Shinju couldn't help but complain in her heart.
But such a sister was also so cute.
Shinju's thoughts still couldn't suppress her affection for her sister.
"Shall we start now?"
Akira glanced at the expectant Shinju and nodded.
"Let's start now."
Sajuna took out the tools needed for cosplay makeup from her room and introduced them to Akira one by one.
Akira listened attentively while also paying attention to his system panel.
When the makeup skill appeared, his worries gradually subsided, and he listened to Sajuna's teaching with peace of mind.
"First, you need a hair tie, then apply tape…"
"Then primer and foundation…"
"Also, eyebrow and eye shape treatment…"
"Finally, nose bridge and highlight treatment, to emphasize the sharpness of the face…"
Sajuna explained the points to pay attention to in makeup one by one, and Akira nodded from time to time.
If it weren't for the system's help, Akira felt that he might really get confused by these tedious steps.
After all, these step-by-step things felt much more difficult than memorizing patterns in a game.
Feeling the increase in his makeup skill experience, Akira's understanding and mastery of makeup also increased proportionally.
Akira felt that it wouldn't be long before he could create beautiful makeup on his own.
"Sister, are you done?"
Shinju closed her eyes, feeling her sister's movements on her face stop, and asked curiously.
Sajuna checked her makeup again before nodding.
"It's done, Shinju."
Sajuna handed Shinju a mirror.
In the mirror, Shinju's original female facial features and expression were almost indistinguishable; she looked entirely like a gender-neutral boy.
But when Shinju smiled, the masculine aura that the makeup painstakingly maintained shattered into nothing.
"Shinju!"
Sajuna looked at Shinju's happy expression, feeling a bit at a loss.
In the past, she only showed such a smile when Shinju said she liked her.
Thank you, Aki-Kun, for reminding me, letting me know that Shinju had such a wish.
"Sister, I can really become Souma-nii."
Shinju's cheeks were full of surprise.
When she was originally picking out clothes, she still had doubts in her heart about whether she could cosplay Souma-nii.
But now that she saw her sister's makeup skills, she truly relaxed.
She could really become Souma-nii after all!
"Yes, Shinju can really become Souma-nii."
Sajuna encouraged Shinju, her tone filled with happiness for Shinju.
Akira looked at the two sisters' happy expressions and couldn't help but smile too.
-------------------------------------
Monday at Saitama Prefecture University.
After finishing his morning classes, Akira took out his bento and went to eat with Wakana.
"Speaking of which."
Akira picked up a meatball and put it in his mouth; the fried meatball was still fragrant after being left for a morning.
"Our final exams are coming up soon, aren't they?"
"Yes, they are."
Wakana nodded, "This semester is almost over."
"Wakana, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"
Akira asked, as he didn't have any plans for the summer vacation yet, so he wanted to see what his classmates were doing.
However, Akira selectively forgot that Wakana's life already revolved around Marin and Hina Dolls, and there would be no other content.
"Probably, just finishing the outfits for the group cosplay, and then practicing making Hina Dolls at home."
Wakana thought for a moment and replied.
"I feel like Kitagawa-san will come to play with you then."
Akira brought up the topic of Marin intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mm, Kitagawa-san said she still needs me to make cosplay outfits for her during the holidays."
"Wakana, you really are lucky with women."
Akira clucked his tongue.
After all, if his classmates knew that Wakana frequently interacted with a girl like Marin, Wakana might be envied to death.
