"Xia Youran, why is there such a long queue on Ayu's side, and there are only two of you here? And it's an elderly grandmother with a little grandson, and no one here came to buy it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After the old grandmother pulled her little grandson away, Bai Xiao pretended to push down his flat glasses and asked. He dressed up today because Ayu came early in the morning to help get it, because it was difficult to buy a cosy suit as small as him in the market, so the clothes and wigs were all made by himself. His outfit today was simple: short black shoulder-length hair (wig, not his own hair), black-rimmed flat glasses, a white shirt, a blue tie, black suit pants, black leather shoes, and a white coat that reached to the calves. (Yes, you've probably guessed it, it's the outfit of the underground secret doctor Silla Kishitani in the Headless Horseman.) Compared to Bai Xiao, Xia Youran was wearing a little more fancy, a black Lolita skirt, a matching hat and a pure black butterfly and flower mask.

"We'll have guests later." Xia Youran looked at the girl in charge of the cashier, because she was too bored, she had already started to sit next to her and play with her mobile phone.

"You think you said that, too."

"......" Xia Youran was not idle during this period, she signed on the blank pages of those books, and in just two hours, she had completed nearly 50 books, and the other 100 books were simply signed under her pen name "Neeko". This is purely to prepare for being able to visit the venue in the afternoon. There were relatively few people who came to buy in the morning, only about 30 copies were sold, which is still a little far from today's target of 200 copies.

"Na, Xia Youran, why do you wear a mask every time you sign a sale?" Xiaoben thought that there might be more people coming this time, thinking that he could help something, but he didn't expect it to be really an idle egg. He finally sat down in compromise, took out his tablet, and continued the game without passing the level.

"That's because ah......" The memories of the mask began to pop up from Xia Youran's mind:

Three years ago, the fanstrip comic she published on the website was touted by a small number of readers, and maybe there were staff members of the organizer among those readers, so she also sent an invitation letter to Xia Youran. At that time, Xia leisurely went to the printing house with great interest to print 200 single books and consigned them to the venue. (Of course, she only sold a few dozen copies in the end, and sent the rest back to be auctioned off online.) ）

Although it's not the first time I've participated in a comic con, I'm still in a different mood now, and I feel a kind of apprehension that can't be said. (I've always come in as an audience before.,It's the first time I've come to the exhibition as a serious manga artist now.,Even though it's a fandom manga artist.】 At that time, there was no one around, because she was afraid that Lin Chenhao and Bai Ze would laugh at her, she secretly ran out from them, so when she was nervous, she didn't know what to do at all.

The audience entered at eight o'clock, and she was so nervous that she went to the toilet several times, and although everything was already tidied up, she was still a little restless. The owner of the stall next to her seemed to sense her uneasiness, and took a mask and handed it to her.

"I'm nervous, why don't you try to put the mask on and see, it's a reassuring magic." Since that person was also wearing a mask, Xia Youran didn't know what kind of expression this person was wearing when he said this, and when that person handed over the mask, she seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and her eyes became eager when she looked at this person.

Xia Youran took the mask, hesitated for a while, and put it on. The material of that mask is very good, and it fits perfectly on the face, and the bargains on the street can't compare to it. It felt like someone was holding their face and whispering in their ear. The heart that had been pounding and pounding was a little quieter because of this. (Of course, even after all these years, Xia Youran still treasures that mask, the placebo for her first step into the comic world, she treasures.) ）

"How is it, is it effective...... Seeing that Xia Youran didn't speak for a long time, the man stepped forward and asked, and opened Xia Youran's fancomics and read it.

"Oh, how much?" Xia Youran seemed to realize something, and took out her wallet from her bag.

"I don't need any money, and if I can, give me a copy of your comic book." He was very attentive when he read the comics, and the content in them seemed to attract him. Although some people on the Internet have said that the comics are very good, she is still very relieved when someone shows this kind of look in front of her.

"Is that okay?" Xia Youran is still a little self-aware, and the value of her comics may be far lower than the mask that person gave him.

"Let's be each other's first customers, and by the way, don't forget to sign for me." The man pointed to Xia Youran's cartoon and said......

"So, you're wearing a mask all the time because you're nervous? It's the same now? Bai Xiao will probably be able to understand the reason, "So, later, have you ever seen that person again?" ”

"Actually, that person was also wearing a mask at the time, and he was wearing a clown costume, I didn't see his face at all, and his voice was neutral, I don't know if it's a man or a woman."

"Joker? What kind of clown is it? ”

Xia leisurely looked around, pointed to a person in a clown suit not far away and said, "Probably that's what it feels like......

"I was COS, but Hisoka, neeko-chan." (Siso's words, please refer to "Full-time Hunter" by yourself, neeko is Xia Youran's pen name) The voice came from the side, Xia Youran turned his face around, and saw that this man was wearing the costume of Joker in the Black Butler, Xia Youran was fascinated when he saw it, this person was like passing through the dimensional wall and coming out of the second dimension, and it seemed to have more of that taste than Ayu.

"Huh...... You shouldn't be the ...... you were at that time," Xia leisurely pointed at this person and shouted loudly.

"Shhhhh......h ”

"I can't imagine that I can see you, this world is really small?" Xia Youran smirked, "Are you here to come out of the stall today?" ”

"No, I'm just here to be an audience today, stopping by to see old friends." Joker glanced at Ayu opposite, "Let me tell you a secret, the one on the other side is my senior in college, don't look at him now as Celti, he is actually an out-and-out man!" ”

"So, you're Ayu's junior?"

"What? Do you know each other? This Joker seemed to be a little shocked, "He's a senior in the university club, and I've always been taken care of by him." ”

"Well, Ayu and I also met at the Comic Con, and now we are friends, and we are relatively close. That, I still don't know your name......" Xia Youran felt as if he had talked too much, and he didn't even know who the other party was, but he had said so much.

"My name is Lin Wei, neeko-chan where are you?"

"Xia Youran!"

"I said, why does Neeko-chan wear a mask all the time? It looks good when you take it down. As he spoke, he reached over and took off Xia Youran's mask, "Just say it, it's so beautiful...... Readers aren't that scary, so there's no need to be too nervous, just like usual. ”

Xia Youran stood in place with black lines on his head, "I said, Lin Wei, were you such a frivolous person before?" I don't think that's the case. ”

"Poof...... Is that so? I think I'm pretty serious. It's really sad to be frivolous by neeko-chan. Lin Wei propped his arms on the table, leaned forward, and the distance between him and Xia Youran was still relatively close. The cashier's girl also began to come over because she saw a handsome guy coming.

"What are you talking about?" After Ayu finished signing, he came over and put his hand on Lin Wei's shoulder, "When did you know Lin Wei, this kid?" ”

"At the Comic Con three years ago, he helped me once, so I guess I had a one-sided relationship. Now it's the second time we meet. ”

"Once born and twice cooked......" Lin Wei's self-cooked personality made Xia Youran a little crazy, if he didn't think that he cos to be expressive, she would definitely not be a bird. (Mom said: frivolous men are often not so reliable, and you should be cautious about this kind of man.) ）

Xia Youran stepped forward and dragged Ayu over, because he had been wearing a helmet, Xia Youran didn't control the distance and hit her helmet directly. (For details, see Persona of the Headless Horseman, Selti. Struelsen, the Headless Horseman from Ireland. He was wearing a one-piece black bodysuit, black leather shoes, a yellow-black helmet, and a relatively large Grim Reaper scythe, which was thrown on the stall because it was heavier. "Ahhh......h It hurts...... Hey, I said Ayu, is this what this person is? Xia leisurely covered his forehead and leaned into his ear and asked.

"It's always been like this, and those who are dead can be said to be alive, so the popularity is quite good. He's a graphic model now, and he's pretty famous. ”

"What's your name, kid? Is it Silla for cos? Is it a pair with Ayu? Seeing that Xia Youran was busy whispering to Ayu, Lin Wei took the opportunity to talk to Xiao who was staring at him. Xiao just glanced at Xia Youran next to him, and did not rush to answer, but turned around and continued to sit back in his original seat.

“……”

"It's so cold......"

“……”

"Okay, it's almost time to eat, there's basically nothing to eat here, it's rare that Xiao Wei is here, so let the host treat you." Ayu was worried that the lunch box at noon was not delicious, and she was thinking about where to go to eat, when the rabbit hit the stake.

"There's a festival street over there, it's like a temple fair, with food and fun, do you want to go over there and have a look?" Lin Wei seems to have made up his mind to go to the festival street with them, it seems to be more interesting to visit such stalls than to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and almost all the people on the road are wearing cos clothes, so there must be a different scenery.
