Chapter 756: I’ll Rip For You!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As a mature and sensible college senior, Qin Xuanxuan had always maintained an image of elegance and wisdom.
Except for the first time she and Liu Zilang met.
That 'flying kick' was her secret technique that no one else had seen before.
She used it back then because Liu Zilang had forced her to a point of desperation.
At the time at hand, her butt was being slapped multiple times by Liu Zilang with the Frostmourne. The Pikachu suit might have cushioned the force. However, she still felt hot behind the ears and shame in her heart. For a while, she could not move…
'Ah!
'Dammit!
'This feeling… feels like…'
Snap! Snap!
Qin Xuanxuan came to her senses when she heard the clicks of camera shutters coming from around her!
Embarrassment overcame the girl within the Pikachu suit. She turned around and her eyes flashed with killing intent!
'I'll kill you!!!'
Her right leg traced a sweeping arc. Hidden Technique: Divine Dragon Lash!
'Here I come!!!'
Liu Zilang had been the recipient of Qin Xuanxuan's 'flying kick' before and knew that her mastery of martial arts was focused on her legs. He had expected the retaliatory attack.
Swish~~!
A violent gust of wind assaulted Liu Zilang's face as the Pikachu turned a hundred and eighty degrees!
'What strong legwork!'
However, Liu Zilang had a secret technique of his own: the Backward Hop. He narrowly dodged the attack.
The next moment…
Liu Zilang's mouth was agape as he stared at her with a dumbfounded face!
Having missed the kick, the Pikachu spun around for another half a circle like a top before it fell on the stage with a split.
The people standing around the stage, as well as the viewers in Liu Zilang's live-stream channel, cried out in surprise when they saw this sudden scene!
"This… Jianghai U Cos Club is too dedicated to the craft!"
"Amazing! It's the first time I've seen a Pikachu perform a split!"
"I'm thoroughly impressed. Jianghai U even prepared such an amazing 'secret show' for the competition!"
"LOLOL I have a feeling that the champion title has already been taken by Jianghai U!"
"…"
On the stage.
Qin Xuanxuan's head was buzzing as she sat on the stage in a split. In her mind, the vague 'rip' she had heard earlier was being replayed.
The Pikachu suit was of high quality, and it was very stretchable. It should not have torn after a split like that.
There was only one possibility left.
In the Pikachu suit, Qin Xuanxuan's lips trembled. She felt like crap!
"Senior!"
"Club President!"
Liu Zilang and the other people behind her saw that she did not get up even after a long while. Hence, they went over to prop her up.
"Are you ok, Senior Qin?" Liu Zilang asked as he scratched his head with the hilt of the Frostmourne. He looked apologetic. "I didn't expect you to do a split."
"No problem. I don't blame you."
The short sentence was spoken word by word as if she had to squeeze each individual word out of her mouth through gritted teeth.
Liu Zilang shuddered. He carefully asked, "Senior Qin, are you suffocating in there? Should I remove your Pikachu head?"
"No," Qin Xuanxuan replied almost immediately.
Fortunately for her, no one could see her thorough embarrassment through the suit. If the headpiece was taken off, she probably would not be able to show her face in public anymore afterward.
Qin Xuanxuan was propped to her feet by several others. She rubbed her butt.
She took in a few deep breaths to calm herself down and then tried her best to resume her elegant demeanor as a college senior.
"It's nothing. I'm just playing around with Junior Lang." She waved her hands in front of her.
While saying so, she stressed the word 'playing', and everyone around her felt a cold wind blow past them.
Liu Zilang stole a downward glance. He then approached Qin Xuanxuan and said carefully, "Senior, I thought I heard something go 'rip'…"
"Don't worry, I'm OK." Qin Xuanxuan took in a deep breath.
"Are you really OK?" Liu Zilang scratched his head.
"Of course, I'm OK." Qin Xuanxuan said while shooting a death glare at him.
"That's strange," Liu Zilang mumbled, "I could've sworn I heard… Oh! Don't tell me…"
Qin Xuanxuan in the Pikachu suit went stiff!
Her head turned bright red all the way down until her neck. There was no coming back from it!
She was prepared to shed her 'elegant college senior' image if it meant sending an ultimate flying kick into Liu Zilang's face!
However, Liu Zilang continued, "Maybe I misheard? Hm, I must have been mistaken."
After that, he turned around and walked away, carrying the Frostmourne.
Qin Xuanxuan's red-hot anger abruptly cooled down when she saw this.
She blinked and looked at the back of Liu Zilang with some doubt.
'Did he really mishear?
'No!
'He's lying!'
She thought as she saw Liu Zilang's shoulders trembling. The latter was obviously holding back his laughter.
Qin Xuanxuan felt a fresh wave of embarrassment and anger!
Of course, she could not chase up to him and then ask him if he had really heard the 'rip' when she performed the split.
She could only stand there and look at Liu Zilang; a fresh storm was brewing in her eyes…
…
'Phew!
'Luckily, I'm witty!'
Liu Zilang told himself as he got off the stage at the end of the cosplay competition.
Many people around the stage came over to him, expressing their desire to take selfies with him.
Some of these people knew who Liu Zilang was. Those who did not who he was were simply attracted by his Haruka Kasugano cosplay.
Liu Zilang was not in a hurry to leave.
Seeing this, he lifted his selfie stick and told his fans, "Alright, everyone! Stand in a line and we'll do this one by one. Whoever wants to post my photo, please put a beauty filter over my face."
His fans around him laughed, and the atmosphere was jovial.
Liu Zilang stood on the spot and stuck out two fingers, the 'international symbol of peace'. He took selfies with his fans, among them were many girls.
Not too far away from the crowd.
Misaka Mikoto and Zhang Xiaotong stood tiptoed as they watched Liu Zilang.
"So it's really Shifu. Should we go over and take selfies too?" Misaka Mikoto asked.
"I'm not going." Zhang Xiaotong pouted and turned away.
"Oh!" Misaka Mikoto nodded and then ran over toward Liu Zilang like a penguin.
Zhang Xiaotong was not expecting Misaka Mikoto to betray her. She stood on the spot, dumbfounded. Then, she stomped her foot, hesitated for a short while more, and then ran to catch up with her.
"Heheheh," Misaka Mikoto turned around to look at Zhang Xiaotong. She laughed mysteriously.
Zhang Xiaotong blushed. "I… was afraid that you might get lost," she said with a pout on her face.
"You're so nice to me, Xiaotong-chan," Misaka Mikoto hugged her tightly. She then rubbed her cheek against hers as one would do to a cute puppy.
…
Liu Zilang's fans went by him one by one as he held on to his selfie stick. Everyone in his live stream channel became excited when they saw girls walk past him. Evidently, they also left excited messages on the bullet screen.
The crowd around him began to dwindle.
Then, after turning around, he saw Misaka Mikoto smiling mysteriously. Alongside her was Zhang Xiaotong who had her head lowered, and she was walking toward him from the back.
Everyone in the live stream channel became excited when they saw this!
'Oh my god!
'Xiaotong-chan… no, Haruka Kasugano's sister is here!'
