The Bunny Girl Predicament

“Le-Le-Leidi……um, um……I’m, I’m so shy……”

Oh, Xiaobai~ You’ve naturally adopted that pigeon-toed stance so characteristic of a shy girl, haven’t you? Excellent, simply excellent~

Blushing all the way to her earlobes, Xiaobai stood before me, head bowed, fidgeting and rubbing her thighs.

Even though there was no shirt hem at her waist for her to tug on, she instinctively made the motion of pulling something down, clearly ill at ease.

The rabbit ears perched on her head and her large, tied twin ponytails swayed with her, mirroring her bashful demeanor.

‘So cute~’

‘I just want to hug her~’

“Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~”

Huh?!

Whose utterly disgusting, goosebump-inducing lecherous sounds are those…? Isn’t this supposed to be the women’s changing room?!

“[Japanese] S-s-such a cute little bunny~~~~!!!”

……

……

WHAT……?!

Turning toward the source of the sound……

It was none other than Ruka sister, her face slightly flushed, grinning lewdly like a middle-aged pervert……

Ruka sister…….

That lecherous sound, the kind that makes one feel as if they’re drooling just hearing it…… it was *you* who made it?!

Ruka sister…… Your image has completely collapsed again compared to last time, you know……

“[Japanese] Eh?! Mwuuh—! Leidi, help~ Mmmph—me!”

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Ruka sister seemed to flash like a dark shadow between Xiaobai and me.

She swept Xiaobai into a tight embrace, then, with a look of utter infatuation, began nuzzling her face against Xiaobai’s.

Xiaobai, even if you reach out to me with tear-filled eyes, begging for help, it’s no use.

I won’t be coming to your rescue~

While I know you dislike taking advantage of others, for now, just embrace being a ‘lucky pervert’.

As a girl, a sense of shame is quite necessary, you know~ Though you’re already prone to shyness anyway~ Haha~

****

“[Japanese] Um, you three…… are all in bunny girl outfits, haha…… haha……”

We met at the designated spot, where Brother Mingdao, clad in a cosplay outfit resembling a karate gi, stood before three alluring bunny girls.

His face was faintly flushed, and his eyes darted around, unsure where to settle their gaze.

‘Oh ho? Xiaobai and I are one thing, but not even a glance at Ruka sister?’

‘As a boyfriend, such behavior is actually a bit rude, you know.’

I gave Brother Mingdao a timely wink.

‘Don’t tell me you don’t understand, you shy, bashful senior~’

“[Japanese] *Cough, cough*—Mm-hmm, well, Ruka, um, uh, you look very good. Yes, that’s right, very good.”

Brother Mingdao stammered, his face crimson, as he spoke to Ruka sister with a slight bow of his head.

‘Mm-hm-hm~’

“[Japanese] Brother Mingdao~ What about Xiaobai and me?”

I looked at him, a playful smile gracing my lips.

“[Japanese] Huh?! Um, um, um, um! You’re cute too!”

Brother Mingdao’s eyes widened in panic as he nodded vigorously at Xiaobai and me.

‘Haha, he certainly didn’t expect me to ask, did he?’

‘He truly is a cute fellow, one who just begs to be teased.’

“Wuu~~”

Behind me, Xiaobai seemed quite uneasy, burying her head in my hair.

‘Was she overcome by shyness?’

“What’s wrong~ You were the one who said you wanted to enter the competition, so you can’t blame me, you know~”

I turned around and cradled Xiaobai’s face in my hands; it was as red as a ripe peach.

“No, it’s, um, um, um, people are taking pictures!!!”

Xiaobai squeezed her eyes shut, looking as if she was about to burst into tears.

I glanced around, and indeed, many people were pointing cameras and phones our way, snapping photos.

“Since this is a cosplay arm-wrestling competition, is it strange for people to take pictures?

Besides, you should be used to it by now; there were plenty of camera flashes at school too, weren’t there?”

‘You can’t afford to be uncomfortable with this kind of attention.’

‘Even if you weren’t wearing a bunny girl outfit, you’re still dazzling, you know.’

“Um, um, um! I’ll never get used to it in my whole life!”

Wah, ah……

‘It feels like Xiaobai’s eyes are starting to spin, huh…… Is it really that overwhelming……’

“Hey, hey~ At the very least, shouldn’t we show those perverts who directly caused us to wear bunny girl outfits a thing or two?!”

I gently shook Xiaobai’s head, trying to instill a bit of fighting spirit to keep her conscious.

“Mm!!!”

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai, just as I expected, returned to normal, her eyes, of course, sparkling with a “small” amount of indignation.

About half an hour prior, seizing the momentum, I had practically dragged Xiaobai and Brother Mingdao into the competition venue on the first floor of the department store.

With the assistance of the staff, the four of us then registered.

This cosplay arm-wrestling competition was limited to 320 participants.

Having received numbers 302 to 305, we had almost missed our chance to enter.

The venue on the first floor of the building comprised three separate arenas.

Arena One and Arena Two were each designed for 128 contestants, while Arena Three accommodated the remaining 64 participants.

I observed that all the tables were specially designed for arm wrestling, and the surrounding areas of the arenas thoughtfully featured temporary changing rooms for cosplay outfits.

The cosplay costumes themselves were also provided by the organizers.

All in all, the initial impression was quite positive, I must say……

Of course…… the *initial* impression……

As for what came after……

“[Japanese] Oh! You’re such a pervert! To think you’d wear such a cute nurse outfit!”

“[Japanese] Your mini-skirt is no different, is it?! That’s practically showing everything, haha! Pot, meet kettle, old man!”

“[Japanese] Hey! You guys, come help me out; this sailor uniform is a bit difficult to put on.”

“[Japanese] The silky texture of this cheongsam is truly irresistible~~”

“[Japanese] What are you incessantly sniffing for?! No girl has worn this before, you know!”

……

……

‘I feel like I need to go wash my eyes out……’

While technique can provide a significant advantage, most people still associate arm wrestling with “muscle and brute strength,” don’t they?

Despite the generous prize money, there weren’t many female contestants.

The organizers had evidently considered this, as they had only prepared about a hundred sets of female cosplay outfits.

However, most of them had been claimed by those male perverts, who seemed to think it was their inherent right……

Consequently, only the bunny girl outfits remained for Xiaobai, Ruka sister, and me……

Although Xiaobai vehemently argued for us to seize some of the male cosplay outfits, there was no way I would agree to that~~

‘Hoho~’

‘Don’t worry~’

‘You disgusting male perverts who desecrated beautiful female attire.’

‘You male perverts who made me go to great lengths to conceal the little guy beneath my clothes.’

‘At most, it’ll just be a comminuted fracture, you know~’

‘Your lives will still be intact, though~’
