Chapter 28: The Legend Of The Legendary Librarian (2)
Worrying about the new costume.
The fact that Yumir was talking to me about this worry might mean that she was ‘doubting’ me right now.
She might suspect whether the person named Do Ji-hwan, who suddenly vanished from the scene, and Yumir, who did not appear on the scene afterward, were the same type of person.
However, while she was doubting, I appeared and cracked a joke that ‘the teacher is always on the student’s side.’ Due to this, she was now following and trusting me as an adult she could trust.
In that case,
‘Pretending not to know is the answer.’
I knew, but I pretended not to.
Unless Yumir revealed her identity first, the answer was to pretend to keep a reasonable distance and to provide sure help.
The concept of the Golden Knight should be abandoned in this country and on this island.
It was the same as if I went around saying, ‘I’m a Western Foreigner!’Even though it wasn’t true at all.
“Well, there is a book. There is indeed a book about costume design here, but shouldn’t we decide on a concept before choosing a book?”
“A concept?”
“Yes, I’m talking about the ‘hero suit’ concept you will wear as an ability user. The hero costume you will wear during the practical exam later.”
“Ah, the practical.”
She seemed to misunderstand something but immediately nodded at my words.
“Yes, that’s right. We have to wear the hero costume during the spring and summer competitions in May…. um, yes, I understand what you’re saying. Ha ha, I almost misunderstood.”
“I don’t know what the misunderstanding was, but I’m talking about the costume for ‘student Yumir.’”
“…Right. My costume. Yes.”
At a glance, she understood that I was suggesting a different concept costume than her Golden Knight concept and immediately realized that I had simply made ‘Yumir’s general costume’ the topic of conversation.
“……”
Of course, it’s not like she had completely erased her doubts about me.
“Why not ask in the community first? Would you like to come in here and sit down for a bit?”
“Me? Is that okay?”
“It’s okay. If anyone says anything, just say you came to volunteer at the library.”
“Ah.”
Yumir came right next to me and sat down on the chair, and as I slightly pulled the chair to the side, she also pulled her chair to the side.
Yumir and I sat on both sides of the computer monitor.
“We’re going to ask in the hero community. Like this.”
[Honestly, if foreign girls go with this costume…]
I posted a message on the largest hero community in the country.
[Isn’t everyone just following the Snow White concept? Everyone lacks uniqueness. We need a new concept. Please recommend one. I’ll draw a cut for it.]
“Teacher?”
“In the young people’s community, you usually talk in a way that fits the community members.”
“It seems like an old person is trying hard to fit in with young people.”
“……But it’s effective, isn’t it?”
Ding.
A reply was immediately posted.
[High-leg?]
“Someone suggested that?”
“A pervert. The costume length restrictions for heroes these days are so strict.”
Yumir immediately frowned.
“How can you have a high leg in a hero costume?”
“I think this person is not talking about a hero costume, but perhaps about the costumes of the Yi Maemangyang executives.”
I brought up a data screen.
“‘Gunggi’, an executive of that society and one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Also known in the world as the ‘Black Flame Phoenix.’”
“…How can someone walk around wearing such clothes?”
“That’s why they’re villains. S-Class at that.”
The flaming hair was distinctive, but it was obscene for anyone to see her flaunting exposure in a latex-like suit that clung to her body and also had a high-leg cut.
“It’s a typical style of female executives in evil organizations, isn’t it?”
“It’s scary. Are they telling me to follow that…?”
“There are actually quite a few high-leg type costumes. Not exactly high-leg, but roughly like this.”
Another comment came up.
[Isn’t it more like a bloomer than a high-leg? There are classic designs in Japan, you know.]
[ㄴNot a weeaboo, but I admit bloomers are legit.]
[ㄴActually, the concept of bloomers started in Korea….]
“She’s wearing a jersey on top of bloomers.”
“It must be nice for the men to see.”
“There are those who actually make a living with that.”
“Ah. I know. You mean heroes like celebrities who secure a lot of male fans with a sexy concept?”
“Similar. What will you do, Yumir?”
“Um…I don’t like this much.”
Yumir frowned and shook her head.
“I don’t really want to expose myself.”
I understood that.
She probably wouldn’t have appeared as the Golden Knight if she had intended to expose herself.
Ding.
Another notification sounded.
[Wouldn’t the type of costume vary greatly depending on how much of the face is covered?]
“Oh ho.”
That was a very logical and piercing answer.
“Speaking of which, what will you do with your face? Will you reveal it? Or will you just wear a mask?”
“I’d prefer to cover everything if possible. Even all my hair.”
“Then…it quite significantly limits the costume design.”
I added a few lines to the post I had made.
[I want to draw with a concept that covers the face.]
[ㄴWhy?]
[ㄴI want to focus on the body.]
[ㄴThen agreed.]
“Teacher…?”
“It fits like this, Yumir. These people are so smart and excellent. You saw the comments earlier, right? Look at this. Another comment just came up.”
[-Strongly recommend Witch concept.]
“… What’s this?”
A witch?
It was a name I had never heard before.
“Ah, teacher! Stop!”
Yumir’s face turned red in an instant as she grabbed my wrist.
“We, we can’t search this!”
“Why not the Witch?”
“It’s erotic. Extremely.”
“…How do you know that, Yumir?”
“I’m an adult too, you know? I referred to it a lot while studying heroes. It’s a costume for a minority in the superhero community. I don’t think we should be searching for it here.”
“Is that so?”
I didn’t know what it was, but I privately thought that it would be less erotic than the costumes worn by our Four Heavenly Kings.
Ding.
Another comment was posted.
[-Let’s go for Bunny Girl!]
[ㄴReverse Bunny Girl, let’s gooo!]
“How about a Bunny Girl?”
“I feel like it would overlap with someone’s concept in another world. And there’s also exposure with this one.”
“Covering your face with a rabbit mask and revealing your body as a Bunny Girl would be fun, though.”
“… I’ll consider it.”
Unfortunately, Bunny Girl was put on hold.
[Then, Magical Girl Kyungkyungs!]
“Ugh, my head.”
“Why?”
“I feel like I’ve seen an abyss that shouldn’t be touched. I don’t know what it is, but let’s move on. So next…”
Perhaps because I had offered to draw, the comments began to pour in.
[First of all, make it tight to reveal the figure.]
“That’s pretty direct. Yumir, how about a full-body latex suit style? It minimizes skin exposure.”
“Even if the skin isn’t exposed, it still reveals the figure.”
“You should be confident with your figure at your level–ahem. Sorry. Was that sexual harassment?”
“I won’t report you, so don’t worry. Hehe.”
Yumir straightened her waist and smirked.
“I’m confident in my figure, but I don’t like revealing it.”
“Why is that?”
“Because female heroes can be identified by their figures!”
“Ah.”
I understand.
“There are times when it can be dangerous. For female heroes who wear tight-fitting costumes, even a slight highlight of physical features can lead to comparisons with photos on the internet.”
Even if we set aside men for a moment, for women, the size of the chest, the line of the pelvis - if compared with the actual body, there had been real cases where a hero’s identity was revealed. It was like, ‘This hero is this woman!’
[This hero is definitely our celebrity C!]
[Even if you had breast implants, we can tell! This shoulder line, this pelvis, these unusually thick thighs![
[Did you think we wouldn’t know just because you covered your face? Your walk is exactly like you, C!]
It was a disaster brought about by excessive interest in those with abilities.
“So, if we go with a costume that covers the entire body….”
“Oh, my.”
Yumir pointed out a comment with sparkling eyes.
“How about a glowing dinosaur?”
“…What?”
“A glowing dinosaur.”
“That’s a good idea. But if we actually make it into a costume, the material will be important. Is it like a doll’s clothes or more like pajamas? And if it’s pajama-style when the wind blows….”
“The body lines will be completely revealed. Hmm. Ah.”
I thought I might tease her a bit.
“Do you remember the hero who appeared when our restaurant was attacked? The female hero who confronted the goblin.”
“……Yes?”
She was extremely tense.
It would be clear to anyone if it was her.
“I just thought of this because of that knight. There’s a design that matches the dinosaur-like concept you mentioned. Here.”
I quickly brought up a search window and showed her.
“Legendary Golden Dragon Knight, El Goldrado.”
“…….”
“It does have a transformation combination gimmick, but you’ll just transform into its form after the transformation.”
“Do you like this sort of thing?”
Yumir pointed to a gif of a car that was combining with a dinosaur with a stiff face, and I firmly shook my head.
“The kind of costume I like is this design.”
I brought up a VTube video.
“…Please don’t talk about this anywhere else.”
“This is…”
“The leader of the evil organization ‘Gyeolsa’.”
Inside a pitch black darkness.
[Applaud. The true darkness.]
The leader of Gyeolsa, wearing a quiet dress, spread her arms wide and displayed overwhelming dignity.
[ㄴWowowoowow.]
[ㄴEyesEyesEyesEyesEyes]
[ㄴHonestly, if you removed the Gyeolsa logo, the leader EyesEyes has the top body figure]
[ㄴI guess she has a smooth face under the mask]
[ㄴYou get out]
[ㄴYou can tell the finger thickness just by the comments, right? This is a slander against our leader! EyesEyes]
[ㄴIn my opinion, the leader is probably going ‘SqueakSqueakChulkeongChulkeongOhMyGoodness’ on the goblin’s club from the back. It seems she’s being handled like a motorcycle by the goblin, caught by the horns on her head while being hammered with a stone on the goblin’s club.]
“…….”
The people of the world didn’t know
That this was the transformation mode.
“The leader of Gyeolsa… do you like that sort of thing?”
Yumir looked at the leader in the video, then glanced down.
“…Tsk.”
She clearly clicked her tongue.
For some reason, Yumir seemed to feel inferior to the leader.
