In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, I'm a Cosplay Master

Author: Xue Hua Luo Yi

Synopsis:

This is my King Arthur cosplay, the resemblance is high, right?

This is my Mikoto Misaka cosplay, the resemblance is also very high, right?

Do you know why my cosplays are so accurate?

No one understands King Arthur better than I do, no one understands Mikoto Misaka better than I do, no one understands Raiden Mei better than I do, no one understands Kiana better than I do.

I know a lot, and I'm very open-minded. I understand them better than anyone else.

I understand what it means to fight, what Collapse is, what friendship is, what perseverance is, what courage is.

Besides being a Captain, I can cosplay anything!

Prologue: The Thousand and First Day of Transmigration

He nimbly tied his red tie and styled his hair to look mature.

He put on a handsome suit.

Looking in the mirror, he saw a face of a cool, aloof, and slightly melancholic handsome man. His well-proportioned body looked even more upright and dashing in the suit, exuding heroic spirit.

Li Pu ran a hand through his glossy black hair and said with a hint of melancholy, "Alas, it's a shame that heaven gave me this face and body meant for leeching off others."

"But I insist on making a living with my own skills."

"How can I be so talented?"

Li Pu tidied his clothes and tugged at his red tie, saying with great satisfaction, "Indeed, no one in this world understands what it means to be handsome better than I do."

"The thousand and first day of transmigration, I, Li Pu, finally have a job."

Li Pu, a transmigrator, had been useless for a thousand and one days. Just as he was about to truly rely on his looks to leech off others, he finally found a decent job.

He put on the suit he bought with his last bit of startup capital and styled his hair to look mature.

He picked up his briefcase and called for a Didi to go to work.

Yes, he called a Didi.

Don't dwell on the details. Why is there Didi after transmigration? Because this is the peaceful Changkong City. There's no Hyperion in the sky, and no Honkai Beasts on the ground.

This is a city highly similar to a certain city in his previous life.

Using red Mao Zedong banknotes, you can order takeout, call Didi, watch anime, and play Steam. It's a city highly similar to his previous life in various aspects.

This is a coastal city.

On this day, the sky was still as blue, the sea was still as blue, and people's hearts were still as simple and kind.

Students were still as pure and cute.

Against this backdrop of peace.

"Oh oh oh!!! Ahhhhhh!!! It's you!"

A girl's pure shriek from St. Freya Girls' Academy pierced the sky, adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil and warm Changkong City.

A certain girl with white hair, twin tails, and a large braid pointed at a young man wearing a black slimming suit, a red tie, and with glossy black hair, and roared, "It's you!"

"You shameless fellow, how dare you appear in our school!"

"You escaped yesterday! Let's see where you run today!"

The thousand and first day of transmigration...

'Damn! This feels like my face hurts.'

Li Pu had found a job, and the workplace was at St. Freya Girls' Academy. He never expected that on the thousand and first day of transmigration, his first day at work.

He would run into the person he met on his thousandth day of transmigration without any warning!

"Sigh, this is truly a fated entanglement," Li Pu said, running a hand through his hair. After learning that his workplace was St. Freya Academy, Li Pu knew he would inevitably encounter people he was familiar with but who were not familiar with him.

He had anticipated something like this happening, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"I didn't expect to meet you on the first day," Li Pu shook his head. "Even though I've already explained, why don't you believe me? Kiana."

"What happened yesterday was really just an accident. I'm an ambitious man."

"I never thought about leeching off others."

"Kiana doesn't care if you leech off others or not," Kiana said, her eyes blazing as she pointed at the handsome young man with a melancholic aura in front of her. "You! You tried to take advantage of Mei-senpai!"

"This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable!"

"Kiana," Li Pu took a step back. "Please let me explain. I absolutely have no intention of taking advantage of Mei."

"I'm just a very ordinary passerby, I have no improper thoughts."

"I just wanted to thank Mei."

Li Pu could swear to the heavens that he really had no ulterior motives towards Mei. He wasn't and didn't want to be a Captain, so he originally didn't plan to get to know any Valkyries.

He wanted to find a normal job, earn enough money to support himself now, and later support a wife and children.

If this was Changkong City, he'd move his whole family before the worst happened. If this wasn't Changkong City...

Then that would be even better.

He, Li Pu, wasn't someone with grand ambitions, someone who had to be a savior.

It was just that after being rejected for the thousandth time, with his starting capital from his transmigration about to run out, and with next month's rent and food money still uncertain.

Li Pu was seriously considering looking into how to live off someone else.

Eating was always the top priority. If he was about to run out of food for the next meal.

Sometimes, principles could be set aside.

It was just a coincidence...

"I absolutely didn't want to live off Mei's generosity," Li Pu said sincerely. "Although the Raiden Group is indeed wealthy, I'm a person with dignity."

"Mei only helped me a little because of my good deed yesterday."

"But Mei's help is very important to me."

"I can't be an ungrateful person."

"Liar! Liar! Liar! You hypocrite!" Kiana didn't believe Li Pu at all. "How could you have a good deed? And have Mei help you?"

"Do you think I'm a Kiana? Someone who knows nothing!"

"You tackled Mei yesterday!"

"How could I not have a good deed?" Li Pu argued. "Even though it was a small thing, I found Mei's wallet. It had her ID and passport. I didn't touch anything and returned it all!"

"For a girl, having her passport with her while abroad is quite important."

"As for tackling her, I already said it! I just slipped and it was an accident!"

"I swear to the heavens," Li Pu said. "I just treated Mei to a crepe, I really didn't mean anything else. I slipped, that's all!"

Even if he had wanted to mean something else, it wouldn't have worked, as the money he had on him was only enough for one crepe.

It was absurd, but he had indeed slipped yesterday! He meant nothing by it!

Actually, the matter was that simple.

He found her wallet and returned it. Mei thanked him, and Li Pu expressed that he'd prefer a job over money. Mei then recommended him here. So, it had to be said, having money and power was great...

No! That's not what he meant!

Li Pu was a practical person. Now that he had a job to solve his urgent problem, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

Buying a crepe, although not expensive, was still a gesture of his feelings.

Then, by sheer coincidence, he slipped. By sheer coincidence, he fell towards Mei. And by sheer coincidence, Kiana saw it all.

So... so... so...

"You! Stop making excuses! Mei! Mei! Calling her Mei like that, so intimately! Is Mei's name something you can just call out?!" Kiana charged at Li Pu, unleashing a flying kick towards his face.

"You scumbag, not a single word you say can be trusted!"

"Hah! Eat Kiana's righteous flying kick!"

"Oda!"

Seeing the sole of the foot getting bigger and bigger, Li Pu was truly desperate. This... this... this... did this mean he had to use his ultimate move?!

Was this Kiana going too far? He, Li Pu, had already explained it wasn't intentional!

And now she wanted to resort to violence!

Now! There was no other way! Li Pu couldn't stand it any longer. Since that was the case, he wouldn't be blamed for being impolite. With a hardened heart, he jumped forward with all his might, and his entire body lunged towards Kiana's flying kick like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

Kiana truly didn't expect the young man in front of her to fight back.

She was a little flustered by this. This was the school entrance, after all.

If the dean caught them, it would be terrible!

She just wanted to scare him and make him stay away from Mei.

But now, the force of the kick was like spilled water, impossible to retrieve. Kiana could only brace herself and continue kicking at the young man.

"Slap!" Just then, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them.

With a swift grab, the newcomer easily caught Kiana's raised leg, spun around to dissipate the force, and then grabbed her shoulder, pressing her to her knees.

"Kiana! Have you forgotten St. Freya's school motto?" the person said with a slightly cold voice. "At the school entrance."

"Are you planning to be punished by the dean?"

"Ehh~ Mei!!!" Kiana's momentum immediately deflated like a mouse seeing a cat, but she still said stubbornly, "Don't stop me, I'm going to teach this disrespectful guy a lesson!"

"That's enough, Kiana!" Mei said with a slight frown. "What happened yesterday is in the past. I believe Mr. Li Pu didn't do it intentionally."

"If you continue to make a scene like this, you won't get to eat my bento today."

As soon as the bento was mentioned, Kiana's fighting spirit weakened considerably.

Heaven is big, Earth is big, teachers are big, but Mei's bento is bigger!

"I get it," Kiana said, hands in her pockets, still very unwillingly. "Anyway, I'll let you off the hook this time! But if there's a next time!"

"Kiana will definitely beat you up!"

Kiana mumbled and walked away, but not far. She just took a couple of steps back to wait for Mei.

"I'm really sorry," Mei said apologetically when Kiana stopped causing trouble. "Mr. Li Pu, Kiana is just like that. You've seen her quirks."

"This is St. Freya Girls' Academy. Although it's a girls' school, I've already arranged for most things."

"As for the rest, whether Mr. Li Pu can stay here will depend on your own abilities."

"Oh, and one more thing~" Mei said, trying to hold back a laugh. "Your aura just now was pretty good, but that suit of yours isn't cheap either."

"Be careful not to scuff your knees, or when you meet the Director later."

"You'll be laughed at~"

Chapter 1: My Job at St. Freya

"Child..."

Li Pu was still surprised.

Even though he knew the Director of St. Freya Academy was a legal loli, seeing her in person still felt a little surprising.

"What are you talking about?" the legal loli asked, as if she had heard a word that shouldn't be here.

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing," Li Pu changed his tune instantly. "There are rumors that the Director of St. Freya Academy, Theresa, is truly the cutest in the world."
