Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"Shh~" Luo Tian made a gesture to silence the others and said mysteriously, "This is a secret~ Don't tell anyone unexpected to my sister!"

"Yeah!" Although Qian Xinshou is almost 1.8 meters tall, his mentality is still that of a junior high school student, which can be described as very immature.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The two of them held the same umbrella, and the moment they stepped out of the overpass, the heavy rain hit the umbrella violently, making Qian Xinshou a little worried.

"Xinshou, come closer, otherwise you will get wet!" Luotian reminded.

"Eh? Oh..." Qian Xinshou nervously grabbed the straps in front of him and moved closer to Luotian, but then he felt relieved and his hands holding the straps slowly loosened a lot.

"By the way, Xinshou, I have something to ask you." Luotian said suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" Qian Xinshou asked puzzledly.

"Xinshou, do you want to COS?" Luotian asked directly.

"Eh?!" Qian Xinshou stopped and her expression was a little dull, but from the way her hands were clenched again, it could be seen that she was very nervous.

"When we first met, Kitagawa asked you about it, but I noticed that you didn't tell me what was in your mind at that time. Are you worried that your sister would know?" Luotian asked again.

"I..." Qian Xinshou looked up at Luotian, somewhat hesitant.

"Tell me, I want to hear Xinshou's true thoughts." Luotian said with a smile.

"Actually, I..." Qian Xinshou lowered his head slightly and said through gritted teeth: "I want to try...!"

"That's great. Is there a character you want to COS?" Luotian asked.

"Yeah!" Qian Xinshou continued, "I have a role I really like and I've always wanted to try it out."

"Just like Hai Meng said, watching my sister COS, I have always been envious..."

"If you are envious, just go and participate. Don't be afraid." Luo Tian said softly.

"But... I definitely can't do it... because I definitely won't be suitable." Qian Xinshou said in a heavy tone, mixed with envy, "I'm not as cute as my sister, nor thin enough, and that character doesn't look like me at all. I can't dress like that, and it will definitely be far from the role. I think I'd better forget it..."

Qian Xinshou's words were full of inferiority and frustration, which was not caused by her inability to COS, but because her height and figure were different from those of her peers (abdb). It was a denial of herself and a symbol of lack of self-confidence.

"Xinshou, although what you said makes sense, I don't think it's right." Luo Tian said seriously.

"Not right?" Qian Xinshou looked at Luotian in confusion.

"Let me put it this way. The meaning of cosplay itself is to change and become another person through makeup, clothes, etc. It is a miracle that makes the impossible possible." Luo Tian continued: "And you haven't tried it yet, but you deny it. Isn't it a bit too early?"

Listening to Luotian's answer, Qian Xinshou was a little moved, but then he said: "But...what if I do a weird COS and my sister feels disgusted and hates me? I'm scared..."

"Xin Shou, I still say the same thing, it's normal to be worried, but I think your idea is wrong." Luo Tian continued: "And how can you be sure that your sister will hate it, instead of looking forward to you joining the COS team?"

"Besides, cosplay itself is about changing one's appearance to achieve a goal, female to male, male to female. You have seen all of this on SNS platforms, right? Your sister is not someone who would deny you."

"Sister, are you really...looking forward to it?" Qian Xinshou asked expectantly. It was obvious that Luotian's words had worked.

"Of course! She's your sister! The sister who cares about you the most and loves you the most must have been paying attention to you!" Luo Tian said seriously: "And the most important thing is to be bold. Even if you have the slightest idea of ​​wanting to COS with your sister, just do it boldly. I will help you!"

I'm sorry, Xinshou, I lied to you. Your stupid sister didn't realize what you were thinking...

Although there was some coaxing involved, it was still for the purpose of enlightenment and encouragement. Qian Xinshou finally loosened his hands that were tightly gripping her hair and said solemnly: "Brother Luotian, I want to cosplay, please help me!"

"No problem!" Luo Tian agreed without hesitation, and then asked: "Which character do you want to COS?"

"Well..." Qian Xinshou smiled adorably, ruffling his hair and said, "Actually, I want to COS a character from [Flower Princess Retsu] as well."

"So that's how it is. Let me guess, is it a male character in it?" Luotian asked.

"Yes! Brother Luotian guessed right, the one I want to COS is Brother Sama." Qian Xinshou said expectantly, "I have always admired Brother Sama, he is strong and handsome, and he will rush to my sister Meilai when she is in danger. I feel that he is a bit like my sister, so I fell in love with him."

"I see. No problem." Luo Tian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can go out with your sister."

"Really?" Qian Xinshou was delighted.

"Of course." Luo Tian nodded and said, "Sama's clothes are very simple. We still have time. Let's go shopping first. It's not good to stand in the rain for too long."

"Yeah! I'm sorry, Brother Luotian."

"It's okay, no need to apologize."

The two of them stood in the rain for a long time before they continued to move forward.

"By the way, Brother Luotian, Brother Sama is actually like you, handsome and powerful."

"Oh? Really? I'd be happy to be praised!"

"It's true~"

As the two people walked away, the sound of their conversation was gradually covered by the heavy rain.

However, not long after Luotian and Qian Xinshou left, a petite figure blurred by the heavy rain suddenly appeared on the roof of the overpass not far away.

"The demon slayer who awakened his power since childhood has found you..."

Chapter 198 Sakurajima Mai is back

In the heavy rain, a nanny car stopped in front of the [Rose] doll shop.

Then an umbrella was stretched out from the open car door, followed by a beautiful girl with a calm expression and steady temperament.

Then, the driver's window rolled down and a woman with short brown hair and glasses stuck her head out.

"Mai, you must have been tired from filming for a week straight. Please~ take a good rest."

"Ms. Ryoko, thank you for sending me back.-"

"Um...Mai, about your boyfriend..."

"I see. I will discuss this with him."

"Okay... I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, the woman with glasses nodded slightly, started the car and drove away.

Mai Sakurajima looked at the departing car, her pretty face showing no change in expression. She turned around and walked towards the doll shop with her suitcase in her hand, looking calm.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The crisp sound of the copper bell made Sakurajima Mai look up, and a look of relief appeared on her calm face.

"Huh? Mai?! You're back!" Upon hearing the bell, Cui Xingshi raised his head with a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he also liked Sakurajima Mai.

"Turquoise, I'm back." Sakurajima Mai showed a gentle smile and pulled her suitcase to the cashier, "Do you want to watch Detective Kuku again?"

"Yes! The latest episode!" Cui Xingshi turned the tablet over and said, "Ku Ku encountered the most challenging murder in a closed room in history. Apart from the victim and a puddle of water on the ground, no murder weapon was found in the closed room. It was so mysterious!"

"Really? That's great. I brought back some snacks and juice. Eat while you watch." Sakurajima Mai laid the suitcase flat, took out a bag of snacks and a bottle of juice and handed them to Cui Xingshi.

"It's seaweed balls, thank you Mai!" Cui Xingshi politely thanked while holding peach juice.

"You're welcome." Sakurajima Mai raised her hand and touched Cui Xingshi's smooth little face, then asked, "By the way, where is Luo Tianren?"

"Father and Hai Meng went out to inspect the studio and haven't come back yet." Cui Xingshi said truthfully.

"I see..." Sakurajima Mai took out her cell phone and was about to make a call, but after hesitating for a moment, she put it away and said, "Did Luotian say when he would be back?"

"Father said he would be back in two hours at most, so it should be soon..." said Cui Xingshi.

"Really..." Sakurajima Mai glanced at the wall clock. It was only 3:15. She muttered, "Luotian said he had something to tell me. Never mind. Let's wait until night. I'll go take a shower and rest for a while."

"Is Mai tired?" Cui Xingshi asked doubtfully.

"Not bad..." Mai Sakurajima said tiredly, "I've been filming and doing commercials for seven consecutive days. I'm still a little uncomfortable with such a continuous workload."

"That's really hard..." Cui Xingshi nodded and said, "Mai, you should not take so many jobs. Father can support you~!"

"Haha~ It's okay~" Mai Sakurajima was touched and wanted to laugh, "I didn't expect the news of my comeback to spread so quickly, and so many brands came to me."

"Father said that Mai is very popular, which is not a good thing." Cuixingshi said.

"Really?" Sakurajima Mai chuckled softly, looking indescribably sweet.

"Hmm." Cui Xingshi tilted his head in confusion.

"Luotian is such a petty guy..." Sakurajima Mai's eyes sparkled with satisfaction as she said, "I'm sorry, Cui Xingshi, I have to go and rest."

"Well, go ahead, take a shower and have a good sleep." Cuixingshi said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Cui Xingshi." After saying that, Sakurajima Mai opened the door and walked into the living room at the back.

"Mai! You're back! I missed you so much!" Hinamichi ran towards Sakurajima Mai.

"I miss you!" Sakurajima Mai hugged Hinamichi and rubbed her against him, showing great intimacy.

"Hey hahaha~!" Hinamichi laughed happily.

"Mai, welcome home." Cang Xingshi, Zhenhong and others also came over.

"I'm back, Aoxingishi." responded Sakurajima Mai.

"Mai, are you done with the work?" asked Shinhong.

"Well, it's over." said Mai Sakurajima.

"Mai seems to have lost weight." Canary looked at her.

"Really?" Sakurajima Mai touched her face and didn't feel any changes. "Maybe it's because I have too much work."

"You must be tired from work. Do you want to take a break?" The perceptive Shinku noticed the fatigue in Sakurajima Mai's eyes.

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai didn't refuse and said, "I'm planning to take a shower and then go to sleep for a while."

"Then go quickly, Mai," Hinamichi urged.

"Wait a minute, I brought some food. I'll take it out for you first." Mai Sakurajima put down Hinamichi in her arms, then opened the suitcase and took out all the drinks and snacks. These were all given by the brand when Mai Sakurajima was the spokesperson.

"Wow!"

"so many!"

"Sweet peach drink, I just saw the commercial shot by Mai!"

"Yeah, everyone, eat. I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, Sakurajima Mai took out some clean clothes from the suitcase and went straight to the bathroom.

"Clap!"

After entering the bathroom, Mai Sakurajima turned on the light, skillfully placed the clothes in the basket, turned on the water switch next to the bathtub to start filling the water, and then walked to the shower head to take a shower.

A stream of warm water sprayed out from the shower head.

Mai Sakurajima raised her head slightly, her soft and shiny hair hung vertically on her back, and warm water flowed down from her snow-white neck to the floor.

The body that was flowed by water exuded a warm and white luster like ivory under the hazy water vapor. It was a kind of calm beauty, enough to make most women jealous. But the only flaw was that a trace of fatigue appeared on that beautiful face.

"Crash!"

The warm water sprayed from the shower spray gave off steam, and a layer of white mist soon rose in the air. Through the light, one could vaguely see the graceful figure in the mist.

After a while, the sound of running water stopped. Sakurajima Mai walked towards the bathtub, slowly lay down in it, feeling the warmth and letting out a long sigh of relief.

In the living room

"Did we forget to introduce someone to Mai?" Canary asked.

"I don't know if Mai will be angry." Cang Xingshi said worriedly.

"No, no, Mai understands father very well." Hinami said confidently, not forgetting to stuff snacks into her mouth.

"It won't be too late to introduce them later." Shinhong picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant flower tea, then asked, "Where are Kaya and Himuri going?"

"Himari is taking a nap, and Kaya is cleaning up his father's workshop." Aoxingishi said.

As he was talking, a 13 or 14-year-old girl in a kimono came over carrying a black garbage bag.

"Huh? Is there a guest?" The person who came was the one who was being talked about, Kaya, who was staring at Sakurajima Mai's suitcase.

"Kaya, come here!" Hinami waved at Kaya with a small bag of snacks and said, "Mai brought back some delicious food, come and try it!"

"Mai?" Jiaye walked to the sofa in confusion, "Is that the Mai that Xiaotian said he would call every night?"

"That's right." Zhenhong raised her head slightly and said, "Mai's photo is on the desk in father's room, the one with black hair."

"So it's her. Where is she?" Kaya looked around curiously. He had learned about Sakurajima Mai from Luotian and understood their relationship, but he was still curious about what kind of girl Luotian liked.
