The uniform chosen this time is a black-based sailor uniform style with a white collar and red trim, and the classic design is highly recognizable. For the wigs, both the blonde and pink twin tails were carefully trimmed and styled, with a slight curl at the ends to add layering. Black loafers were chosen for the shoes, paired with black stockings, and I am very satisfied with the accuracy of the overall styling. To maintain the texture of the overall clothing, during shooting breaks I also paid special attention to tidying up the details of the skirt hem and neckline, ensuring the white bow tie and red trim on the cuffs always stay flat.

The shooting location was chosen on an outdoor wooden terrace, with a background of transparent glass curtain walls and white leisure tables and chairs. The sunlight on that day was great, shining on the wooden floor, and the texture was particularly suited for this uniform. Sitting on the bench together or leaning against the glass, the photos came out with a strong daily life feel. We brought two boxes of figma figures as props—one held in hand and one placed on the lap. This wasn't just for posing; cosplaying while holding merchandise of your own character gives a wonderful feeling of breaking the dimensional wall, and the interaction presented in the photos is also more natural and vivid.

The cooperation with my partner was very tacit and harmonious. The two of us appeared together—one blonde and one pink-haired—and the sailor uniform matching was extremely coordinated. We tried different interactive poses during the shoot; besides sitting side by side, there was also a playful single-leg standing pose like in the third picture. In terms of action design, to showcase the stockings and the skirt hem of the uniform, we tried to find angles that could highlight the leg lines, leaving a bit of absolute territory skin tone, which makes the visual more layered. Although the wigs were quite long, it was fine once I got used to it, and walking in loafers wasn't tiring either. The stockings were chosen in a well-fitting material that didn't easily slip down, and the overall condition was maintained quite well throughout the whole day of shooting.

Rather than pure cuteness, I also wanted to showcase a bit of the character's unique coolness. Breezing on the terrace while wearing the uniform felt truly like walking right out of the game. The light and shadow reflected by the glass added layering to the photos, and we walked back and forth outdoors and by the curtain wall to find the best lighting angle. The addition of the figure boxes was also very interesting; they could be held in hand as props, adding some interactive fun. The entire shooting process was very relaxed and pleasant, everyone's emotions were completely in place, experiencing another state through the characters, and chatting idly with my partner on the terrace felt like spending a cozy, leisurely time in reality together with the characters.
