Getting Heated Up
Kamira
Ooh~, the costumes are ready for everyone! So we're putting these on now, right?
Iroha
Yes! Today I want everyone except me and Mito-chan to try them on, and also finalise the makeup concept.
Kamira
Irocchi, you're burning with enthusiasm! You're seriously well prepared.
Iroha
Of course! It's not every day I get the opportunity to have everyone do the cosplay I've envisioned-
Iroha
-I mean, ahem.
Iroha
We're aiming to win the contest, after all!
Mito
Kamira-chan...when you've changed, I'd like you to come over to me.
Mito
About the makeup for the day...I want to discuss...how we should do it.
Kamira
Okay~! Let's think about the cosplay makeup together!
Iroha
Tsubomi-san, is the changing going alright?
Tsubomi
-Whaa!?
Tsubomi
No, wait...
Tsubomi
S-Senju. Is there some mistake with this costume...?
Tsubomi
The skirt is...a bit too short, isn't it...?
Iroha
Huh? I thought I ordered it to match Tsubomi-san's size...
Iroha
Let me check for a moment!
Tsubomi
Waaah!! Wait...!!!
Iroha
Hmm...the size seems right, so it must just be mini by default.
Tsubomi
Ugh...! T-this is embarrassing...
Iroha
It's okay. On the day, I'll give you inner pants that will be fine even if they show, so there's no problem!
Tsubomi
That's not the issue~!
Towa
Why are you acting so innocent? You wear revealing stage costumes without hesitation.
Iroha
...Tsubomi-san. A cosplay contest is no different from a theatrical performance.
Iroha
From the moment you put on this costume, you are 'Magical Girl Noir', So there's no need to fear...exposing your bare legs.
Tsubomi
I am...Magical Girl Noir.
Tsubomi
B-but, to have so much skin showing...!
Iroha
No, no, Tsubomi-san.
Iroha
This is a magical girl's armor. In other words, while it appears that skin is exposed, you're actually wearing armor.
Tsubomi
This outfit is...armor?
Iroha
Yes. It's necessary for battle, right? If you think of it as protecting yourself from enemies...doesn't it actually make you feel secure to wear it?
Tsubomi
I see...they are wearing armor...
Tsubomi
Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go, Senju.
Tsubomi
I am an actor, I simply perform as guided by the gods of the stage. I will become a magical girl too!
Towa
Did she just get smoothly talked into it!?
Kamira
Hmm...too much highlighter? Is this okay, Mitorin?
Mito
Um...I think it's fine for me.
Kamira
Really? Great~!
Kamira
Cosplay makeup can be pretty heavy, right? It's fun, so I get carried away.
Mito
I don't normally use them...like colored contacts and such. Being able to dress differently than usual...is fun, isn't it?
Kamira
Yeah, yeah. This outfit is super cute too!
Kamira
I don't usually wear this style, so I'm not used to it.
Mito
But...it suits you.
Mito
Oh, and...I think you resemble Tialier wearing that outfit, Kamira-chan...
Kamira
For real? I don't know the original work that well, so I'll watch it when I get home!
Iroha
...
Tsubomi
...What's wrong, Senju? Your hand has stopped applying makeup-
Iroha
It's wonderful...
Iroha
Since Noir is an honor student character, I went with a subtle salmon pink lipstick, but with senpai's glossy lips, it looks so perfect...
Iroha
This fairness of skin, it's as if you've jumped straight out of the original work...! Your sharp eyes don't even need makeup to enhance them!
Iroha
Ahhh, as expected, my judgment wasn't wrong...! Even without seeing the finished form, my heart swells with anticipation...!
Iroha
Hm? This scent...
Tsubomi
Senju!? You're too close!?
Iroha
Huh...? No way? From Tsubomi-san's hair, I can smell Noir's image cologne!?
Iroha
Or is it just similar...!? It smells nice, like flowers...
Tsubomi
Hyaaa! Don't smell my hair!!!!!
Kamira
Irocchi, your sense of personal space has been bugging out for a while!?
Mito
When helping with cosplay...sometimes she gets excited like that.
Kamira
Wait, stop, stop! Senpai is turning bright red!
Kamira
She's steaming! Any more and she'll boil over!
Towa
That's some intense passion.
Kamira
Towa, aren't you being too cool just because you're gaming!?
Tsubomi
Someone! Stop Senju, please!!
