Chapter 431: 8th Hall's Book Signing Event
Through a large signboard erected in front of Yaedang, Gu Chen and Paimeng finally knew what event Yaedang was holding.
It turns out that there is a light novel signing event going on here!
There is no doubt that this light novel was published by Yaedo and is selling well, otherwise there would be no book signing event!
But the problem is...
Inazuma Castle is under martial law these days. There was a big riot in Inazuma Castle just two days ago, and it hasn't been completely settled yet, but Yaedo is holding this kind of event.
And yet, it was successfully held, and quite a few people came to attend the book signing event! This is really...
In a sense, the Inazuma people are really generous, and those who like otaku culture and light novels are even more generous.
But what is Xiao Gong doing here?
As far as Gu Chen knows, she doesn’t particularly like light novels and otaku culture?
Even if it was a part-time job, what kind of job could I do at this book signing event? Helping to maintain order or something like that?
With such doubts in mind, Gu Chen and Paimeng stood not far away, observing quietly.
When Xiao Gong ran to the book signing event with the package, the anxious editor Kuroda saw her.
The moment he saw Xiao Gong, Kuroda's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had met a savior:
"Xiao Gong, you are finally here!"
Xiao Gong braked and stopped in front of Editor Kuroda:
"Sorry! Am I late!?"
Kuroda shook his head:
“It’s not too late, but time is indeed very tight.
Did you get the clothes?"
"I got it, I got it, it's in the package!"
"That's great, go change your clothes inside Yaedo Hall and then go out!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
After the above conversation, Xiao Gong hurriedly ran into the Yaedo Hall with the package, and no one knew where she went to change clothes.
Paimon, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but wonder:
“Why do I need to change clothes when working here?
And this place looks like... a bookstore?"
Gu Chen didn't give much explanation, but he had some guesses in his mind, not knowing whether they were correct.
Keeping guessing, Gu Chen waited quietly.
Not long after, Xiao Gong, who had changed his clothes, pushed open the door of Yaedo Hall and walked out with something in his hand.
When Xiaogong appeared at the event venue, all the guests and staff who were maintaining the event subconsciously exclaimed "Wow!"
Because Xiao Gong is dressed up now, she is so eye-catching!
I don’t know what happened, but Xiao Gong changed into a black and white maid outfit!
But this is not a regular maid outfit. Many important parts of the maid outfit are equipped with a lot of armor, making this outfit look like a combat maid!
In addition, the most important thing is the weapon that Xiao Gong is holding in his hand at this time.
That's a huge sickle!
Putting aside the long enough sickle handle, the main body of the sickle alone is almost half a person's height as Xiao Gong. It can only be said that this weapon has a very strong presence!
Leaning on the scythe, Xiao Gong stood beside the venue, and then posed under the attention of everyone for everyone to see.
The guests or book fans who came here to attend the book signing event were naturally very surprised.
I saw a lot of people gathered around, excitedly admiring Xiao Gong's outfit.
The wealthy among them even took out their cameras and kept taking pictures of the Xiao Palace.
Seeing this, Gu Chen understood:
"I see, so Xiao Gong's part-time job here today is to cosplay for Yaedou's book signing event!"
This is indeed the case.
At these light novel signing events, in order to increase traffic and appeal, the organizers will invite beautiful cosplayers to cosplay characters from the light novels, which is considered a marketing strategy.
But I didn’t expect that the cosplayer this time would be Xiao Gong.
Gu Chen noticed that Xiao Gong, who was surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd, was quite enjoying himself at this time, and kept changing his poses at everyone's request.
So, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xiao Gong is happy, it's fine, and she will probably make a lot of money this trip.
Although Gu Chen understood what was going on, Paimeng still didn't understand.
With a head full of question marks, Paimeng looked at Gu Chen in confusion.
Gu Chen smiled:
“Oh, this is cosplay.”
"Kusprey? What's that?"
"Simply put, it's role-playing or something like that..."
Next, Gu Chen briefly explained what cosplay is.
Although Paimon didn't quite understand, she chose to understand.
After trying hard to understand for a while, looking at Xiao Gong's current outfit, Paimon couldn't help but complain subconsciously:
"It feels...it feels...it feels like Noelle!"
Hearing this, Gu Chen was stunned and turned his head to look.
Isn’t it true? The character that Xiao Gong is cosplaying at this time actually has some similarities with Noelle’s personality.
Whether it's the armored maid outfit, the identity of a combat maid, or the conspicuous heavy weapon in her hand, they are all similar to Noelle.
If I have to say what is different...it's probably a matter of personality.
Looking at the various poses that Xiao Gong struck for this role, all of which were very lively and cute, Gu Chen knew that this character's personality was completely different from Noel's.
While thinking this, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at the autograph session sign placed in front of Yaedang.
In addition to indicating that this is a book signing event, the sign also states the name and author of the light novel being signed.
Gu Chen didn't care about the title of the book or the author, and had never heard of it.
The main thing is that the sign also has the appearance of the heroine in the light novel drawn on it.
Sure enough, the heroine is the combat maid that Xiao Gong is sending out at this time.
Looking at the heroine's enthusiastic smile, you can tell that her personality is not like Noelle, but very similar to Xiao Gong.
No wonder Yaedou invited Xiao Gong to come and do cosplay.
With a feeling that he didn't know whether it was relief or a desire to watch the fun, Gu Chen observed Xiao Palace again.
Xiao Gong looked handsome and beautiful in the combat maid outfit she was wearing.
Unlike traditional maids with long skirts, nor the kind of inappropriate and particularly short skirts, the hem of this maid skirt just goes past the knees, which is just right.
In addition, this maid outfit is very slim-fitting and shows off Xiao Gong's figure very well.
On this basis, Xiao Gong also wears white gloves on her hands and white stockings on her legs. In short, they complement each other!
Great outfit, this one.
Looking at Xiao Palace, which had involuntarily joined in the fun, Gu Chen became interested.
He took out the camera from the storage space and said to Paimon:
"Come on, Paimon, let's join in the fun!"
Paimon was a little surprised:
"Eh!? Go join in the fun? Won't it disturb Xiao Palace?
Wait for me! I'm going too!"
