My Young Husband, The Assasin-Chapter 48: Halloween party (2)
Chapter 48 - Halloween party (2)
Shiro, Yamato, and Keiko were also invited to the special Halloween party held at Asahi Cafe. The aim was to make the atmosphere more lively and allow everyone to get to know each other better.
Shiro's face showed a hint of disappointment with the character he got. "Why do I always wind up with a white-haired character?" he lamented as though it were destiny.
Yamato, who was next to him, gazed at Shiro's script. "You're perfect for this role, Shiro," Yamato said with a huge grin.
"Why don't you be the villain then?" Shiro proposed, his face annoyed. He always seemed to be with white-haired characters in every costume party since school, as if it was fate.
"Are you planning to slash me with your sword?" Yamato chuckled.
"That's a great idea. I'll use my father's katana and test it on you to see if it's still sharp," Shiro replied.
"Don't be so cruel. After all, we're good friends," Yamato said.
"You're my junior, so how can we be called good friends?" Shiro retorted. Everyone had already picked their lots and knew which characters they would portray.
"I hope all of you can portray your characters as best as possible because I've prepared some prizes," Renji announced. Shintaro's cheer was the loudest, as he imagined winning a cash prize that would surely be substantial.
"Specifically, I've brought in a team of professional makeup artists and stylists to help all of you get ready," Renji added.
Everyone erupted in excitement, grateful that Renji was so considerate and understood that they needed expert help to get ready. For over an hour, everyone got dressed and prepared to welcome the guests.

This time, the costume contest was based on visitors' votes. Photos of all the participants were displayed in the cafe, and customers showed their support by placing heart stickers on the pictures they liked.
Visitors were lined up outside the cafe, waiting for it to open. Most were young girls and college students, but quite a few young men were also eager to see what costumes Fujimoto Saki and Kana would be wearing.
The doors to the cafe opened sharp at 8:00 PM. The customers entering were greeted by Fujin's low voice and Kana's soft smile.
Fujin was a sight to behold, and Kana was adorable and beautiful. It was worth standing in line for over an hour to be here, as Asahi Cafe did a captivating and entertaining show.
All the cafe seats were taken; it was already time for the costume parade. The visitors were enthusiastic and eagerly looking forward to viewing everyone on the Asahi staff in cosplay, particularly Tetsuya and Renji, whose appearance was eagerly anticipated.
The Asahi Cafe costume parade began. The girls screamed hysterically, wishing Renji could hug them.
The couple decided not to dress like a princess and prince because Aira didn't want to wear a dress and wanted to try something different. After some discussion—or rather, debate—they finally settled on their costumes. The next appearance was no less exciting, causing the girls to scream with delight.
Tetsuya as the Vampire Prince.
"Tetsuya-sama! Aishiteru!!" screamed his fanatical fans.
A group of teenage girls went wild, screaming as if they were at a concert. Knowing Tetsuya was playing a vampire, some of the girls wished he would bite them and turn them into vampires like him.
As a farewell, Tetsuya blew a kiss from afar while winking flirtatiously at the girls.
"KYAAA!!"
The hearts of the girls melted. The following person in line to perform snorted in annoyance at the commotion caused by Tetsuya's fans.
Just before walking away, Tetsuya whispered something in the ear of the girl referred to as ponytail. After whispering, a baseball bat nearly hit Tetsuya's face, and the culprit was Saki, who was angry because of Tetsuya's words. In a hurry, Tetsuya ran off to avoid Saki's fury.
"That was scary," Tetsuya's heart was pounding; luckily, his heart disease didn't relapse.
"You must have teased Saki-chan again," Aira guessed what happened earlier that nearly hurt Tetsuya.
"I was just asking if she was wearing underwear because her butt was showing," Tetsuya said casually, not feeling guilty for speaking rudely to a girl. Renji and Aira both slapped their foreheads, feeling frustrated. No wonder Tetsuya wanted to be hit. Aira would have done the same if she were in Saki's position.
"Renji-kun, please replace me and let Saki hit Tetsuya," Aira ordered, her eyes filled with anger.
"With pleasure, honey," Renji smiled happily.
Before Renji could even hit him, Tetsuya was already running away, using his go-to move under pressure.
The next performance made the male audience cheer, but not Issei, who looked annoyed and didn't like the idea of his fiancée becoming a free show for lecherous men.
Fujimoto Saki as Harley Quinn. Saki's appearance was genuinely sexy, drawing admiration from the men. They kept praising her beautiful body shape, not to mention her long legs covered in black stockings, which added to the sexy impression.
If you followed the original Harley Quinn character's costume, Saki's costume wasn't too revealing. However, as her fiancé, Issei was somewhat uncomfortable and couldn't accept her showing off her curves in front of so many people.
Issei as Zenitsu Kaiba (Kimetsu Kaiba).
Rika as Onmiyoji.
Keiko as Kikyo (Inuyasha).
Kana as Kagura (Gintama).
Shiro as Gintoki (Gintama).
Arashi as Usui Takumi (Kaicho wa Maid-sama).
This was the appearance that genuinely captured everyone's attention. How could it not? The man, who usually looked intimidating with many piercings on his body except for his ears, now seemed completely different, almost like a different person. The makeup team hired by Renji was genuinely excellent.
Shintaro as Sesshomaru (Inuyasha).
Fujin was a nobleman from the Joseon era.
Fujin received loud cheers from the girls in the cafe as he walked down the catwalk. His appearance was stunning, handsome, and heart-stealing. Even Aira and other female employees were captivated by Fujin's remarkable transformation.
"I didn't expect Fujin to be that handsome," muttered Ryuji, who was also impressed.
Fujita as Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach).
"Not bad, his appearance," Renji muttered, quite impressed with the transformation of his assistant.
Yamato as Ulquiorra (Bleach).
"Not bad, his appearance," Renji muttered, still impressed with his personal assistant's transformation.
The last appearance in the costume parade was Yamato.
"Cover your stomach, Yamato!" Tetsuya yelled angrily from afar. Yamato could only smile awkwardly as he listened to his boss's complaints. If he hadn't been forced to participate in this event, he would never have willingly worn such revealing clothing or gone through such elaborate makeup to look as close as possible to the original character.
Tonight, the customers at Asahi were truly entertained and delighted by the extraordinary performances. Many visitors were asked to take photos with the cosplayers throughout the event. They uploaded them to their social media accounts. Within just a few hours, the images went viral, becoming a hot topic of discussion.
People also focused on the fifteen cosplayers whose appearances were strikingly similar to the original characters, leading many to assume they were all professional cosplayers.
"Is this President student Renji?! " someone exclaimed excitedly after viewing the viral cosplay photos.
"Where? Let me see!" another one asked curiously as a crowd of girls formed behind. Despite the makeup and the wig, they could identify Renji Ishikawa's face.
"You're right, but who's the girl with him?" The girl with Renji only made them more curious.
"Maybe his girlfriend," suggested a girl with shoulder-length hair.
"No way, it's obvious she's heavily pregnant," countered a sweet-looking girl with bangs and a large ribbon in her hair.
"Then who is she? Why is she with President Renji?!"
"I don't know. Let's ask him directly at school tomorrow to clear things up."
In just one night, Renji became the talk of the town among all the students of Empire Gakuen and other schools. Most of them focused on the woman Renji was hugging rather than commenting on the costumes.
-The discussion escalated to a group chat, where an anonymous account joined and provided clear information and photos about the woman. The account claimed her name was Aira Hoshino, the illegitimate child of her father and a prostitute, and that she had stolen someone else's fiancé. The baby she was carrying was also the result of an illicit affair.-
The anonymous account's post in the group chat immediately caused an uproar, with many leaving cruel and hurtful comments about Aira without knowing the truth.
In an instant, the group chat was flooded with hateful, insulting remarks about Aira. Many cursed her and even openly wished for her unborn child not to survive.
The brain cannot think clearly when anger takes over the heart and mind. Words are spoken without filtering whether or not they hurt, just like what happened in the school group chat. The girls piled on with vicious comments, acting as if they were righteous and pure, never having made a mistake.
A smile spread across the face of the person reading every hateful comment about Aira. Their heart was filled with joy, thrilled to see people hating Aira. They felt no pity, even cursing Aira's unborn child—such was the cruelty of netizens when consumed by anger.
"I'll repay you a thousand times over for all the pain you've caused me," they whispered, filled with hatred.
