"Um, excuse me, but is this cosplayer very famous?" Rita noticed a young man nearby taking pictures with his phone like everyone else. He seemed to know this cosplayer, so she could not help asking him curiously.
The young man jumped in surprise when she spoke to him. When he turned and saw Rita, his eyes immediately lit up, and he fawned over her like a total simp. "She's somewhat famous in this circle. She has quite a lot of followers on Twitter."
"I thought so. What's her name?"
Ignoring the young man's eager attempt to curry favor with her, Rita continued asking.
"As for her name, I don't know whether it's her real name or a stage name. I only know she's called Yagyu Maru."
"Yagyu Maru... Yagyu?"
The Yagyu surname was a big name in Japan. Mention Yagyu, and people thought of the ancient Japanese sword saint, Yagyu Munenori, founder of Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, one of Japan's three major swordsmanship schools.
Many swordsmen in anime and television also had the surname Yagyu. Of course, there was also the equally renowned Hokushin...
"Um... could we take a photo together?"
While Rita was lost in thought, the young man could not help inviting her.
"Um... I'm sorry, but I only take photos with girls."
"Only with girls?"
"Because I only like cute girls."
Ignoring the petrified young man, Rita moved to the side and continued waiting. Before long, most of the people taking photos dispersed. The few photographers with the most complete equipment boldly stepped forward and began asking Yagyu Maru for her Twitter and other online contact information, using the excuse that they would send her the finished photos after returning home.
Under normal circumstances, cosplayers were usually quite generous about sharing their personal information. Very few would refuse.
