Part 3
“W-what do you think…?”
Kaori came out of the changing room and shyly asked Noah and the others.
Seeing her in her fantasy-style costume, Miu’s eyes lit up.
“Wow, it looks great on you! It’s amazing that you can wear such a difficult costume so elegantly, Kaori-san!”
“Wow, you’re so cute! It’s like you stepped right out of an illustration! Right, Sumimaru?”
Noah cheered as well, looking at Sumimaru in agreement.
However,
Sumimaru was shaking with anger.
“What… What is this flimsy costume?!”
“Eehh!?”
“This doesn’t capture Lily-chan’s charm at all-maru! This work is all about her richness, and I can’t accept such a cheap costume-maru~~~!”
“Eeeeehhh!?”
Kaori and the others are stunned by his unexpected outburst.
“B-but… what should we do…?”
“There’s no time to remake the costumes now!”
“Lily-chan is my favorite character-maru! I can’t compromise-maru. Actually, now that I look at it, Cattleya-chan’s costume is also poorly made-maru, too simple-maru! It should be more gorgeous and sexy, like the original, with creative touches that bring out the best in the materials-maru!”
“Eh? B-but…”
“I can’t stand it-maru! I’ll make all these costumes perfectly myself-maru!”
Sumimaru extended his tentacles towards the two confused girls and attached suction cups to their buttocks.
“Kyaaaah!?”
“Kyaa, what are you doing all of a sudden!”
“Don’t move-maru! This is necessary to perfectly recreate Lily-chan and Cattleya-chan-maru! Uorryyaaaaa~maru~!”
The moment Sumimaru shouted, the suction cups glowed rainbow colors and played a light melody.
“Kyaaa…!”
“W-what is this light…!?”
The two were enveloped in a blinding light, and their clothes changed before their eyes.
“Phew, now it’s a perfect reproduction of the original-maru!”
“W-what just happened… Huh? W-what is this…!”
Miu noticed the change in her clothes and was surprised.
The fabric of the costumes was incomparably heavier than before, and the decorations were meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, making them much more magnificent.
“Our clothes have changed…!? What in the world is going on…!?”
“U-um, Sumimaru is the latest model toy, so he has a costume-changing function!”
“I-is that so!?”
“Hehehe, that’s right~ But I don’t think it was necessary to touch the butt, so Noah will tie it up later~”
“That’s amazing, Sumimaru-san; it feels completely different…—wait!”
“Kyaaaaaaa!?!”
Kaori and Miu turned bright red and covered their chests.
“Um, it feels like there’s less fabric now, doesn’t it?”
As Kaori teared up, it was clear that their outfits were now much more revealing than before.
Sumimaru announced solemnly with a serious expression on his face.
“This is exactly how it is in the original work-maru! If you have any complaints, take it up with the original author-maru!”
“Oh, I thought it was just Sumimaru’s preference, but it’s actually the original design.”
“Ugh, I can’t go on stage like this; it’s so embarrassing…”
Kaori covered her chest and shrank back, but Miu raised her eyes with determination, her cheeks flushed.
“B-but if it makes the fans happy, then I’ll do it…”
“A-as expected from a professional model…! I have to do my best too… But, ugh…”
Noah encourages Kaori, who is blushing up to her ears.
“Kaori-san, there’s no need to be embarrassed; you look wonderful!”
“Noah-san…”
“Sure, it’s revealing, but it’s an amazing reproduction of the original! You look great in fantasy clothes, too! You’re amazing, Kaori-san!”
“That’s right-maru! Ufufufu, Lily-chan, and Cattleya-chan look great too-maru! Ufufufu!”
At that moment, the stylist approached them.
“How does it look? Does the size fit? … Oh my!”
She stares at Kaori and Miu with wide eyes.
“You two, what in the world are you wearing?! I was a little worried that it would look cheap, but it turned out so elegant!”
“Uh, well…”
The stylist excitedly examines the costumes in detail.
“The craftsmanship is true to the original. It’s wonderful. And you both look amazing in them! It’s like you stepped right out of the original! My intuition tells me… this stage performance is going to be a huge success!”
“T-Thank you very much! We’ll do our best…”
“We’ll discuss the details of the stage performance later. Until then, take it easy!”
The stylist left in a good mood.
Kaori breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Miu.
“By the way… Miu-san, what kind of story is this Eternal Valkyrie?”
“Well, um…”
“Leave the explanation of the Eternal Valkyrie to me-maru!”
“Kyaaa!?”
Sumimaru interrupted Miu as she was about to explain.
“In the world of Eternal Valkyrie, fierce battles rage daily against enemies who seek to conquer the continent-me-maru! Talented young girls enroll in a special academy to become Valkyrie protectors of the continent and train hard to become the best-maru! At first, they fail at teamwork, but as they grow and bond with each other, their growth is so inspiring that you can’t help but root for them-maru! The enemy of the Valkyries is a huge organization that uses terrifying monsters…”
“Stop talking so fast!”
“T-toys are really high-tech these days…”
“I’m learning a lot…”
Kaori takes wise notes while listening to Sumimaru’s passionate speech.
“Every Valkyrie has her own favorite weapon-maru! Lily-chan’s beloved sword is the divine sword ‘Seraphim,’ which is as big as she is-maru!”
Miu pulls a huge sword out of a prop box.
“Ah, this is it!”
“Wow, it’s a big sword!”
“Woahhhhhhhh ‘Seraphim’-maru~~~!”
“Kyaaa!?”
Sumaru lunges at the sword Miu is holding.
“Hah, hah, hah, this is amazing-maru! How elaborate it is-maru! Even fans would be impressed-maru!”
“S-so, this is Lily-san’s weapon.”
“That’s right-maru! The divine sword Seraphim—a legendary sword that can cut even evil dragons in two-maru! Its special move is Lily Slash! In Episode 8, when Cattleya-chan was in trouble, Lily-chan used this technique for the first time, even though she was battered and bruised-maru! Her determination to face a powerful enemy for the sake of her best friend, even though she was scared, was so noble and touching that it captured the hearts of the fans-maru!”
“B-but I’ve never held a sword before. Will I be okay?”
“It’s made of light material, so I think you’ll be fine.”
Miu smiled and gave her the sword.
Kaori took the big sword carefully and widened her eyes.
“It’s true, it’s very light!”
“Why don’t you try to swing it?”
“Okay! Eeii!”
Kaori lifted the sword and swung it down.
“I-is that how it’s supposed to be?”
“That’s not good at all-maru!”
“Eh?”
Sumimaru roared with a stern expression.
“That’s not right at all-maru! With such a weak sword technique, you’ll never be able to recreate that moving scene-maru!”
“T-That’s…!”
“Well, I don’t think you need to go that far…”
Noah muttered with a confused look, but Sumimaru shook her head vigorously.
“You have to be serious about every detail if you want to move the fans-maru! From now on, it’s special training-maru! I won’t compromise until you can perform the perfect Lily Slash-maru!”
“Ehh… Y-yes…”
And so, Sumimaru’s special training began.
“The Lily Slash unleashes its true power by raising your strength to the limit and slashing your enemy diagonally-maru! Try it-maru!”
“Yes! Here I go!”
“You’re not doing it right-maru! Don’t just slash; concentrate on being light on your feet-maru! Copy me-maru! Like this-maru! Haaaaaahhhhhhhhh!”
Sumimar unleashed a sharp slash, his empela and tentacles shining brightly.
“Divine Sword, cut down evil! Lily Slash! Maru! Swoosh!”
“That’s amazing, Sumimaru-san!”
Miu watched the two of them practicing intently with surprise.
“That is very realistic… Is that squid really a toy…?”
“Huh!? Hahaha! Yes! It’s a state-of-the-art toy equipped with ultra-powerful AI, hahahaha!”
“I see…?”
And so, the time for the event drew near.
