Hyperdimension Neptunia | The Bound Warrior

Ch.26 Cosplaying with Noire

Max's Pov

It has been two days since the tournament of the goddesses has taken place. And ever since then, Noire has put me on 'No training mode', meaning I am not allowed to train for the next week and am to take it easy. I stare up the ceiling of the guest room of Lastation with a sigh. 

What to do, what to do? I am bored out of my mind. I sit up from the soft bed, other than being on my phone, I havent done much with Noire or anyone else. I crack a small smile. A funny thing after the tournament though was finding out about the shares increase after everything died down. 

Lastation: 25% Shares
Lowee: 25% Shares
Planeptune: 25% Shares
Leanbox: 25% Shares

It was completely even. Something that usually doesnt happen but definitely gave me and luthur a good laugh. Of course, Vert and Noire were not happy about our laugh though. Actually that may be why she's forcing me not to train. Though I am being left off easy if thats the case, cause from what I heard last from luthur, he's being Vert's test subject for more of those "tea sets".

I stand up with a stretch and back crack, might as well see what noire is doing. I walk down the various halls of Lastation, knowing the place like the back of my hand at this point. I give a slight hum unconsciously as I enter Noire's workroom. As soon as I enter, I see noire in an outfit from a video game. I give a chuckle.

As soon as Noire heard me, she whipped around and looked at me with a blush on her face. "M-Max, w-what are you doing here!?" She asks.

"I was bored, banned from training, remember?" I tilt my head, she gives an embarrassed nod, "Haha, you know, I never had much time to do anything for fun like this, mind if I join you?" I ask.

Noire lit up at my question, as I can see stars in her eyes as she nods fervently. She grabs me by the hand and pulls me over to her closet and opens it. As the closet opens, I see a massive collection of various outfits, ranging from Video game protagonists to Actors and singers to. . .  Other goods as well.

{You know I can see you looking at the maid outfit, right?}

"You saw nothing!" I retort in an instant, noire looking up to the ceiling as if she was looking at the author, then she looks to the maid outfit as I now blush. I shake my head and refocus. Have fun, don't stress yourself out. 

"Alright, I think I have an idea to start us off with." Noire says as she examines the various outfits she has. She comes across a male's blue tunic and a matching blue outfit for her and pulls them out. I stare at the tunic for a couple of moments, pondering. Noire grabs the dress and quickly walks behind a divider, pulling her out of my view. I throw my shirt off and put on the tunic, and I confirm my thoughts as I look to the divider as she throws her previous outfit into the air as she changes. I look to where she put the tunic and see that a pair of sweat pants was along with an ancient looking pda device. I throw off my pants and pull the pair noire gave me on and hook the pda onto a hoop left for the device.

"You've been waiting for me to ask to cosplay with you, havent you?" I ask, noticing the fact that the tunic was for a male and exactly my size. She steps away from the divider and she was in an a similar outfit to mine but as a dress and she also had on a blonde wig. 

I give a smile, she looks completely different, except for the eyes. I look at a mirror and see who I am cosplaying as. My smile grows. I look over to noire.

"Should I call luthur over to be Ganondorf?" I Joke, getting a laugh in response. I must say, I never thought I could pull off a link look but besides the hair, eyes and sword, I look pretty close.

Noire is also pulling off a good zelda, especially since she has the wig on. "How do I look?" She says with a small spin.

"Pretty good. . . so what do we do now?" I ask, looking down to the outfit.
