"Let's hear it."

"A folding fan. You and Meiji will wear the play costumes and stand facing each other at the angle of the fan, while Miss Aonai, Mayi, and Ichiki are in a circle behind."

"And you?"

"I'll be the one who opens the fan!"

"It's possible," Kiyono Lin nodded like a fairy, "but why a folding fan?"

"Because I just happen to have one." Dubian Che's reason was simple.

"If Aunt Zhengji finds out, I wonder if she'd still let you have the folding fan." Kiyono Lin sighed helplessly. "The poster is up to you, we'll take the photos tomorrow at noon."

"Okay." Dubian Che thought of Jiutiao Meijie.

In "The End of the World and the Cold Fairyland," the "girl" is the only character with three sets of play costumes—the village girl, the white gossamer dress for her first entry into the Immortal Realm, and the black gossamer dress for the second.

Though different in style, Jiutiao Mei, equally stunning on the outside... The morning's events resurfaced in his mind.

Dubian Che revisited the head-spinning euphoria of dawn, yearned for the Jiutiao Witch's low moans, and arranged everything for the evening.

When he snapped out of his brief daydream, Kiyono Lin was giving him an icy 'I could kill you right now' stare.

"I'll go change too!" Ichiki Aoi ran to the dressing room. "Once I'm changed, shall we take photos together?"

"Sure." Xiaoquan Aonai replied with a gentle smile.

"Let's do it together!" said the members of the Handicraft Department.

Ichiki Aoi was dressed in a medieval knight's costume, looking valiant and formidable.

"Mr. Dubian, it's your turn. Put it on and see where we need to make alterations," urged the girls from the Handicraft Department.

As a member of the Handicraft Department, they had a bit of a uniform fetish.

They wanted to see others in the clothes they made, to see others in all kinds of outfits—especially if the person was pretty, handsome, and had a nice figure.

"Okay, thank you," said Dubian Che, setting down his camera and picking up his own costume to head to the dressing room.

"Come out for photos!" called Ichiki Aoi from behind.

"By the way, Kiyono, if this costume is going to be commercialized, can we continue to showcase it?"

"Of course. It was part of our deal in exchange for your help."

"Kiyono, please look this way!"

Dubian Che entered the dressing room to see three neat piles of clothes and one pile casually tossed onto a table.

"Good thing I'm an upright gentleman." Controlling the urge not to look again, Dubian Che pulled off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt.

Just then, with a "thump," the door, which Dubian Che hadn't locked, was pushed open.

A group of girls stared at Dubian Che, his shirt slipping off his shoulders.

"Wow, muscles!"

"The Adonis belt there! Adonis belt! I want to touch it with my hands!"

"His waist is so slim! Ah—"

The girls from the Handicraft Department were dazzled, Xiaoquan Aonai blushed from ear to ear.

Ichiki Aoi, leading the group, first glanced at the four sets of clothes, then fixated on Dubian Che along with Mayi Asuka.

Bringing up the rear, Kiyono Lin checked the four sets of clothing, gave a nod as if to say 'as expected,' then also smiling, surveyed the center of attention, Dubian Che.

"Hey..." with a shrug of his shoulders, Dubian Che slipped the shirt back on.

After the interruption, Dubian Che, now changed, couldn't be bothered to go out and checked his reflection in the mirror to see if it fit.

Like his smile, he only felt like showing off to those few.

The Handicraft Department was disappointed, insisting a professional should see to confirm the fit, hoping to coax Dubian Che into showing them.

The five of them took their play costumes and returned to the Human Observation Department, contented.

During the downtime at play rehearsal, Dubian Che asked Jiutiao Mei in secret, "Is your costume ready?"

"It is," Jiutiao Mei answered nonchalantly.

"Tonight, let me critique it for you."

Jiutiao Mei immediately caught on to Dubian Che's intentions, giving him a knowing, coquettish look.

"How will you critique it?" she asked.

"I'll check the material, see if it's sturdy enough, then the structure, how to put it on, how to take it off."

"It's possible," Jiutiao Mei's voice became undulating, stirring desire, "but what will you wear, and what will I wear?"

"Meiji, I'm a guy, skirts..."

"Didn't you wear a woman's kimono before? And nobody knew."

"..."

"Wear the white and act pure for me, Mr. Demon."

"I'll think about it... I'll think about it..." Dubian Che's willpower is pretty strong, after all.

Jiutiao Mei grabbed Dubian Che's tie and said huskily:

"In black, I'll be very naughty~ very naughty~"

"I think," Dubian Che said earnestly, "it's only fair that whatever you wear, I wear. That's a good idea."

Jiutiao Mei burst into laughter, delighted.

She released the tie and pushed Dubian Che away, teasing, "You're hopeless."
