This time, I wore Ririchiyo's classic attire for some cafe hopping—a white shirt paired with a black vest, a double-breasted pleated skirt, black silk stockings, and heart-buckle platform shoes. The overall vibe is that kind of dark yet sweet style. I did wear the wig the entire day, but it got so stuffy and hot when I arrived at Anime Star that I just took it off. P3 is a casual photo taken with a friend in front of the arcade, so I decided not to tag it as cosplay and just post it as a casual outfit photoshoot. Actually, wearing this outfit out normally doesn't feel out of place at all. The ruffled neckline and cuffs of the shirt are great bonus details, and the cut of the vest accentuates the waistline beautifully, making it an excellent choice for a retro style outfit. In the retro-decorated cafe, the warm yellow wall lamps and dark wood furniture perfectly match this outfit; any casual snapshot turns into a great piece of atmospheric photography filled with narrative. P2 shows a moment where I casually recorded some audio in front of a bookshelf—the microphone stand and music sheet stand added just the right touch to the scene's vibe, making it look like some small theater's backstage. But in all honesty, wigs are the biggest headache for cosplayers. Although long straight hair is highly accurate for recreating characters from Inu x Boku SS, it gets messy so easily, frizzing up with just a slight movement, and wearing it for too long in the summer leaves the scalp feeling suffocated. So whenever I can take off the wig to let my head breathe, I never hesitate—being happy is what matters most! This time, I didn't intentionally strike any cold or aloof poses; I just sat or stood naturally, letting the lens capture my most relaxed state. Finally, I just want to say that wearing clothes you love to places you like, and wandering aimlessly around Anime Star with a close friend without having to put on an act, feels incredibly comfortable. Even though the wig is off, a faint lingering charm of Ririchiyo's cool and tsundere nature still seems to remain.
