“How do I look?”, Tsumugi asked Himiko, having taken off her hair extensions and thus facing the mage in her room with much shorter dark blue hair, the remainder of the extensions lying nearby on a stool. Himiko smiled a bit.

“You’re looking...good.”, she stated content. “I didn’t know that this long hair you had, were full of extensions.”

“It makes things easier, you know.”, Tsumugi answered dryly, adjusting her orange ribbon. “If I do feel more masculine than usual, I don’t need to go through all the trouble of cutting off my entire hair.”

“I guess so....Though, I gotta say, I never seen you with a pair of long dark jeans.”

The cosplayer flashed a flustered, yet teasing smirk at the mage. She stroked her own curves with a giggle.

“Well, I do wear them sometimes, when I am feeling in a rather masculine mood.”

“Masculine mood?”

“Yeah.”, Tsumugi replied with a nod. “I have outfits tailored, for all my gender experiences. The usual attire is when I am feeling female, this one is for male and I also some other outfits in the wardrobe. Dresses, shorts, jackets, you name it.”

“That’s...a lot of variety.”, Himiko mused in awe. “Isn’t that a bit...expensive?”

“Well I am a cosplayer, so I have enough money from my sponsors to make my own costumes and to tailor to my own experiences.”, Tsumugi explained nonchalantly, fiddling with a bit of their hair. “Cosplaying really makes you question your own gender sometimes. You discover so much about you and all the like...that’s why you gotta cosplay with love, don’t you see?”

“Love....huh.”

Himiko peeked closer into the wardrobe and stared at all the variety in clothing. She even saw a fake mustache, hanging from an outfit. The redhead playfully put it on and smiled. “I am Mr Meno and I think that Himiko’s magic is lovely.”

“Hehe...I will take your word for it, Mr.Meno.”, Tsumugi noted amused. “Now, how bout we go outside and drink some bubble tea?”

“Sure. But please order the right one next time. I don’t want to get a false drink, just because you ordered while scrolling through your phone.”

“I won’t do that...”, Tsumugi pouted annoyed, her cheeks lightening up. “Well...unless I see a good cosplay idea.”
