Ch 130 – 09 June, Kitagawa Marin 05

Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796

Kouta's father worked as a photographer, which was why various things that could help with photo sessions for cosplay were already there. You could say his father had the tools to create a small photo studio. Things like softboxes, lighting kits, studio lights, and bracket stands were already in Kouta's house.

Kouta was a little grateful for these things because they allowed him to get close to a heroine like Marin. Honestly, for Kouta, doing things like this made him a little happy. He could not lie that he discarded and abandoned photography after the death of his family. Even so, in his heart, Kouta still liked the thing that his father used to teach him. It's just that he had no compelling reason to actually do this.

Kouta didn't know why, but he couldn't just do it naturally. It felt like there was still something of a little burden for Kouta just to do photography, whether it was doubt or various memories that reminded his family. Because, after all, Kouta still hasn't fully moved on from what happened to his family.

Somehow, only his urge to take on the heroine or anime characters he saw in his past life could excite him. Kouta himself understood that this kind of thing was not good for him mentally but for him as long as he took life more seriously. Why not?

"Okay, how about we try taking a photo or two first?" Kouta asked Marin with the camera already in his hand.

"Right now!"

"Yeah, we try it first before we try to use a more complex one." Kouta pointed his camera at Marin, who was already familiar with the camera as she worked part-time as a model. Marin immediately poses, even though it's a simple peace pose, only because Marin was still very excited due to how similar she was to the character she liked and her first time cosplaying.

Her exaggerated smile was different from Shizuku's character, who is a cold-type heroine in the game.

"Well, this is something. I guess, even though you have Shuzuku's look. You’re still Kitagawa, huh."

"Eh!? Is it not good? A bad take? I can't help but laugh. Ugh… Well, I really do look like I'm smiling too much. But, but, I can't help it since I do really look like Shizuku-tan!" Marin replied with a face still brimming with smiles.

"Geez, this time, let's try to match Shizuku's character. So, until it's over, do not smile too much, okay? I'm taking it."

Kouta once again took a picture of Marin, and the result was somewhat worse, as Kouta caught her broad, strange smile.

"Ahahaha, that one doesn't count!! Look at that weird face." Marin was laughing as she looked at the photo on the camera that was still in Kouta's hand without any shame. With Shizuku's gothic style and slightly revealing outfit, when she approached Kouta, Marin's breasts were pressed against Kouta's body without doing anything.

Even though Kouta had tasted various kinds of female breasts, he still felt good feeling the softness of the heroine's breasts.

"This is bad. I can't stop grinning and smiling!!" At the same time, Marin continued to comment on the photo taken by Kouta, and her face still looked happy. She even put her hands to her face as if to change her facial expression.

"Hm… how about we use the equipment? Maybe if you become serious, you will also look serious." Kouta advised Marin who showed a face that said 'I'm sorry'.

"That's a good idea. Let's try it!!" Marin replied, and Kouta took Marin to a room that had been set up as a small photo studio.

"Wow… This is amazing!" Marin exclaimed when she saw the room.

"Yeah, okay. How about you stand there? Please, this time, please be more serious." Kouta informed Marin who gave Kouta a reliable reply.

"Yeah, okay… I'mma do the next one just right!" Marin once again put her hand on her cheeks and rubbed it as if trying to change her smiling face.

"Okay, I'm ready. Please, do it!"

"Fine, if you're ready. We're set."

"Alright."

Marin closed her eyes for a moment before she slowly opened her eyes. This time, she didn’t look like she was smiling and had a serious face. With the help of Satomi's make-up, Marin looked even more like Shizuku.

"How is it now!?" Marin asked.

"Yeah, this is good. You really looked like her, as expected of you, Marin. How's about another pose?" Kouta said while Marin followed Kouta's words and started to pose from one pose to another. However, these poses were not lewd or anything like that. Seeing Marin with gothic clothing and using a collar like a sex slave was quite something else, especially when she followed his instructions without saying anything.

After taking many shots with many poses, Marin looked at the photos taken by Kouta.

"Oh, this is cool and superbly taken! Oh!! This one is on fire. It riles me up! How about I make an account and upload them!"

"Wait, you don't have one?"

“Yeah… I have my personal account but I still do not have a cosplay account. Hm… I want a good cosplay name…  Ah, let's go with Manma!" Marin only thinks briefly before deciding on a name for her cosplay account.

"So that's your new account. How about you taking some photos with me? Because it can help you get exposure." Satomi, who had been silently observing Kouta and Marin doing the photo session, gave Marin a suggestion.

"Eh, really? Of course, I will be happy, but is that really fine?"

"Of course, it's fine. I'm already here in a cosplay costume. It's a shame to take advantage of something like this anyway. Ah, the most important thing is that I'm very happy if I can help a friend of Kouta."

"Yuria-san, you're the best! Kouta, please take our photo together!?"

Kouta wordlessly followed Marin's request and again instructed the two cosplayers to pose before taking various photos. Once again, the results of the photos satisfied Marin, who saw the photos that had been transferred to Kouta's laptop.

"Hehehe~ I'll upload a picture of Shizuka-tan~~~ Oh! This is way too cute~~~" Marin said happily, especially when Satomi finished uploading and gave Marin's account big exposure.

Maybe it was because Marin was still very excited about her first photo session as a cosplayer and managing to take a picture with one of the most famous cosplayers. The thing that made her tense was when she saw Kouta and remembered that he once cosplayed in a uniform, too.

"Why don't you cosplay too, Kouta?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, I saw you in the past. You looked good and cute too!"

Marin was still looking excited, and she wasn't only asking Kouta those questions. Her eyes were sparkling like she was expecting something from him.

"Alright, I'm fine with that. But too bad, I'm not doing it for free. You have to pay me with something."

"EH!! Cheapskate."

"I don't ask for money or anything. Usually, I ask the same thing, like you need to cosplay that I like, but since you're already doing cosplay. How about I ask you to take a photo in a pose that I like."

"Eh, isn't that already done?"

"Yeah, but I kinda want it to be more intimate and personal."

"Eh!!"

"It's fine. I will not do something lewd or anything. I'm just asking if you and I can do several scenes from Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls - The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, since you're already wearing Shizuku's costume. Why not? I will try to experience that."

"Hm, that's true… But you can't do something bad, okay!"

"Yes… So what cosplay will I wear."

"Ah, that—"

"How's about this one?" Satomi, once again, suggested taking out a costume from her bag. It was a cute and slightly old-school sailor uniform that reminded Kouta of the anime Sailor Moon.

"Ah, that's fine."

"Why do you have that kind of custom?"

However, Kouta and Marin had two different reactions to Marin's request. And with Marin agreeing to Kouta's request, their photo session will continue.
