[Hellooo~! Iroha-chan, Ogu~! How are you~!?]
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Ah-nee's cheerful voice.
Halloween⦠it's a festival, so she's more energetic than usual.
"Yeah, I'm good."
[Kyaaa~!? Onee-chan, wait⦠Whoa!?]
"â¦Not as good as you, Ah-nee."
[Haha~! Well, being energetic is a good thing, right~!?]
[Hii~!? Onee-chan, help, nooo~!?]
"â¦Uh, yeah."
There have been constant screams in the background while I've been talking to Ah-nee. I nervously asked.
"Uh, is that Mai's voice I keep hearing?"
[It's just your imagination!]
[This voice is Iroha-chan~! Help me~! Hiii~!?]
"â¦"
Yeah, itâs definitely not my imagination!?
I could easily imagine Mai currently facing some misfortune.
But when Ah-nee is involved, things get noisy quickly.
But, this kind of thing⦠isnât so bad right now.
[More importantly, Iroha-chan! Did you get the costume? I left a note for the Secret Service to deliver it on Halloween day!]
"Oh, so that's why. Yeah, it arrived."
No wonder it came at such a perfect time.
Ah-nee really loves this kind of thing.
I remembered past events.
She made me cosplay during rehearsals and even when we were in the tank.
[It's Halloween! You must wear a costume!]
"Ughâ¦!"
I knew Ane would be cosplaying.
But I didn't expect it to spread to us in America too!?
[By the way, Ogu has been quiet. Is something wrong?]
"â¦..Mmm~"
"Ogu?"
I saw Angu Ogu with her cheeks puffed out, looking away.
Wondering why, I tilted my head, and she mumbled.
"It's Ane's fault. I was so close to Iroha, and thenâ¦"
"Oh."
So thatâs why she was sulking.
Come on, we have plenty of time for that later.
Wait, no!? Itâs not like I'm looking forward to it!?
Not at all!?
[What, is Ogu in a bad mood~? Alright, Iroha-chan! You have to do something for her!]
"Huh!? Why me!?"
[Well⦠seeing cute Iroha-chan in costume will cheer her up!]
"Don't make assumptions that Iâm going to cosplay!"
"â¦.She has a point. Only Iroha's cosplay can cheer me up!"
"Wait, Ogu!? Youâre already in a good mood, arenât you!?"
Angu Ogu was smiling and daydreaming.
Why do I have to suffer!?
[Come on, Iroha-chan. There's nothing to be embarrassed about! Besides, you're not alone!]
[Kyaa!? Hii~!?]
"Wait, the voice Iâve been hearing isâ¦"
The audio call switched to a video call.
The scene in the other room was displayed on the smartphone screenâ¦
[Help me~! No more~!]
Mai, wrapped in bandages, was hanging from the ceiling.
The bandages stretched and contracted, making it look like she was bungee jumping.
"Ah-nee, what is this?"
[Yep! It's a mummy costume!]
"Why is she like that!?"
[Well⦠because her name sounds like âmummy'?]
"Thatâs not what I meant!?"
A mummy costume is fine. It's Halloween.
But why hang her!?
[â¦What!? Aren't mummies supposed to be like this!?]
"Of course not!? And why did Mai let herself be hung!?"
[Well⦠because she said sheâd get to see Iroha-chan in costume!?]
"Don't make me the exchange condition!?⦠Wait, what?"
[Iroha-chan~!][Iroha-chan~]
"Iroha~!"
"I feel a lot of pressure from everyone."
Angu Ogu approached slowly.
I tried to escape. I was caught in one second.
"Eekâ¦!?"
"Iroha⦠sorry. Brace yourself!"
"Ahh!? Don't forcibly strip my clothes!? No, stop~!"
My clothes were stripped off, and my bare skin was exposed to Mai and Ane.
Then, I was forcefully dressed in the costume.
"No, Iâm embarrassed, donât look!"
I hugged my shoulders and curled up in shame.
Ugh, what is this outfit!? If it wasnât indoors, I'd look like a total exhibitionist!
My shoulders, stomach, and legs were exposed. Yet the important parts and limbs were fluffy.
And the iconic ears on my head and the bushy tail from my back.
[Guhuhu~! Iroha-chan is so cute~!]
[Iroha-chan, you look great! So good!⦠I want to be attacked]
"Iroha⦠what a⦠sexyâ"
"Donât say anything more, idiot!"
I was forced to cosplay a very revealing âwerewolf'.
This outfit is absolutely not suitable for autumn!?
