Watamote Special Chapter

p1
>Halloween's coming up. You ever done anything Halloween-ish, Yuri-chan?
>I was forced to when I was little.

>We'd go around the local shopping district begging over and over.
>Trick or treat!!
>Give us a treat or we'll play a trick on you!
>Heh~
>Begging...?

>So what did you do if you didn't get a treat?
>Arson?
>That goes way beyond the realms of a "trick".

p2
>The only thing adults do for Halloween is cosplay.
>Any cosplay you wanna do, Yuri-chan?
>Not really.

>How about a sexy jiangshi?
>Why a jiangshi?
>Just cos...
[tn: Text on the talisman roughly translates to "By Tomoko's command, remain living after death", a parody of the usual reading 勅令陏身保命 (By the Emperor's command, remain living after death). Yuri's cosplay here was originally designed for a Watamote exhibition held during Halloween 2020.]

>If I'm a jiangshi, Tomoko, then are you gonna cosplay as that chubby kid who dies in an explosion at the end of that jiangshi movie? [tn: Referencing the Chinese movie Ha Luo Jiangshi, known in English as Hello Vampire 2: Son of the Vampire]
>Like hell I'm gonna be Waterm*lon Head!
>You want me to wrap myself in dynamite and hump you?
>Jiangshi!!
>Jiangshi!!
>Jiangshi!!

p3
>Shibuya's tightened its restrictions on Halloween, though. I wanted to see that out once I got into college.
>Don't you hate those kinds of things?
>Wah~

>I used to hate it, but now...
>I feel at peace when I see extroverts and introverts alike going wild.

>I see...
>...Ah but, this might just be me,
>but there are some things I wish people wouldn't do at Halloween.

>When it comes to that cheap cosplay of whatever J*mp manga is popular at the time...
>Like Dem*n Sl*yer characters or *nya...
>I don't mind strangers wearing those, but I don't wanna see my family or friends or fave celebrities wearing them... I think I'd hate it...

>I get you.
