When it was decided to have a cosplay competition among friends (Yuna, Rin),
Rin suggested, “Everyone can choose any cosplay they want. Let’s show each other next Sunday. And since it seems that Yuna, Rin, and Sara are doing well with the opposite sex, how about we make it a competition to see who can embarrass someone of the opposite sex the most? Of course, I won’t force you to do it.”
Although it seemed like a joke, that was the beginning of everything.
Therefore… Sara was doing her best to fluster Haruya somehow.
With the vampire costume for cosplay, accompanied by the line “Can I drink your blood?”
The first time, he didn’t feel nervous at all, but the second time, for some reason, Sara became increasingly nervous.
On the other hand, Haruya interpreted Sara’s actions as teasing.
(For a cosplay character, she seems to be trying too hard, and it looks like she’s teasing me. If that’s the case, I can’t lose either. I have to put on a brave front)
Thinking that it would be troublesome if Sara developed a teasing habit, Haruya stepped forward.
He showed his unwavering neck to Sara, who was wearing a mischievous
“Ah, if that’s the case, then there’s no problem. You can come over anytime.”
He lifted his hair and deliberately exposed his neck.
“……………Huh, that…”
Surely, Sara hadn’t expected Haruya to respond with such enthusiasm and a straight face.
She seemed taken aback.
…But just at the last moment, she managed to hold back and continued.
“There might be bite marks and all, is that okay? If you’re repulsed, now’s the time to say so, Akasaki-san.”
As she said this to herself, internally Sara was screaming, “What am I saying?! No, I’m fine!”
“Oh, it’s totally fine.”
Haruya replied without a hint of hesitation.
Of course, inwardly he was panicking, thinking, “Wait, is she serious? Is she really going to bite me?”
Sara couldn’t retreat any longer and slowly closed the distance between her and Haruya.
At that moment, the pleasant scent of perfume tickled Haruya’s nostrils.
As Sara approached his neck and opened her mouth wide…
“…Actually, never mind. I can’t do this. I’m sorry.”
With just a small voice, Sara said and then hurriedly left.
Her face was flushed as if she had overheated.
After confirming her departure, Haruya sat down right there.
(Phew, that was close. If she realized I’m weak to persuasion, it could have been a disaster…)
Ultimately, what was that cosplay all about?
With a question lingering in his mind, Haruya made his way home.
By the way, Sara’s cosplay costume suited her remarkably well.
Well, it’s a given that cute girls look good in anything.
“What’s with that costume?”
“…Huh, why, Haru-san?”
“Well… yeah. I mean, I saw it earlier too.”
A few hours after Sara’s cosplay event.
Now, it was Yuna who had summoned Haruya.
This place was the gym storage room at Sakuragaoka High School.
Yuna, who had joined the basketball team, had been appointed as the keyholder for the storage room due to some personal reasons, or so she claimed, and that’s why she had called Haruya out, apparently.
(No, seriously… Himekawa-san’s rooftop was one thing, but… using the gym storage room for this kind of thing? Wasn’t Nayu-san supposed to be the model student?)
Haruya had no choice but to point that out, but the most notable thing was her attire.
Sharp white teeth. A black cloak.
She was a vampire.
A beautiful vampire stood there.
“Well, you see… I’m not wearing this to show Haru-san. It’s just…”
Yuna dutifully explained the reason.
Apparently, they were going to have a cosplay event with friends, and it was decided that Haruya would reluctantly watch as part of their practice.
Strange.
He felt like he had heard this story somewhere before. And quite recently.
“Um… Haru-san. Do you think this costume suits me? I’d be happy if I looked like Fal-chan.”
Fal-chan was a vampire character from a shoujo manga, a mutual favorite of Haruya and Yuna.
“I think it definitely suits you.”
“You always answer with such composure, don’t you, Haru-san?”
She said with a hint of disappointment, then tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled.
“How about this one? Does it resemble Fal-chan… maybe?”
“…!”

His heart skipped a beat.
For a brief moment, Haruya’s expression stiffened.
Not missing that change, Yuna happily curved the corners of her mouth upward.
“…Hey, did I kinda resemble Fal-chan just now? That was like her kind of reaction, right?”
“…Well, I guess it was similar.”
“I tried to act tough. Since Haru-san thinks Fal-chan is cute, that basically means the same thing about me, right…?”
“…………”
Nonchalantly slipping her hands into her pockets,
Yuna muttered. When I fell silent, she grinned, revealing her white vampire-like fangs.
“…Weren’t you a bit embarrassed just now, Haru-san? I’d be happy if you were.”
“…W-well, maybe a little. By the way, you’re not gonna ask me to let you drink my blood or anything, right?”
Haruya changed the subject as an excuse to hide his embarrassment.
“Eh, there’s no way I could say such an embarrassing line. Haru-san’s into that kind of thing? I won’t deny it, but that line is pretty embarrassing.”
Recalling Sara in his mind, Haruya let out an awkward laugh.
“Well, if I managed to get you flustered, I’d say I’ve met my quota for today.”
“…You mention practicing cosplay by showing it to guys, but I think it’s better not to do that with other guys too much. Could lead to misunderstandings.”
After Haruya said that, Yuna let out a small breath before opening her mouth.
“It’s okay… I don’t intend to show it to other boys, you know.”
As she was leaving.
Just before leaving, she whispered, “…Because it’s embarrassing,” into his ear.
After confirming that Yuna had left, Haruya would probably lock the storage room. But for now, he let out a light sigh on the spot.
(…Vampires have more impact than I thought.)
The next day.
The cosplay competition among the S-class beauties took place, and to everyone’s surprise, all three of them showed up as vampires, leading to laughter all around.
The conversation then shifted to who could make the opposite sex blush.
“…Well, I was able to captivate my partner!”
It was a lie.
Sara was putting on a brave front, trying to get through this situation by pretending.
On the other hand, while modestly twirling her hair with her fingers,
“…I think I made them blush to some extent.”
Yuna muttered with a not entirely dissatisfied expression,
Observing the two of them, Rin cast a gentle gaze upon them.
“You two are so cute~ It really feels like you’re in love~”
“Sara aside, I’m not in love yet..”
“Yet? You’re still not there, Yuna-rin?”
“…Ah. Did Rin manage to make the opposite sex blush?”
“Well, unlike you two, I don’t have anyone to show that side to… I showed my brother. He got really embarrassed.”
Sticking out her tongue and scratching her head, Rin.
Yuna and Sara exchanged glances and approached Rin.
“…Oh, both of you? S-Sorry. I didn’t mean any harm.”
“No, you definitely did.”
“Exactly!”
With that, Sara and Yuna teamed up and began tickling Rin’s sides.
Whether Rin could find someone of the opposite sex she liked
was still uncertain to everyone.
