Cursed (story) (Patreon)

It's been 6 years since Marin and Sajuna met Wakana Gojo, now Marin being 21 years old and Sajuna being 23 years old, although not much has changed. Thanks to the dedicated attention to detail that Gojo put into the costumes he made for the two of them, he became unwittingly famous in the cosplay world and now running his own costume-making business while helping his grandfather, still older, in his hina doll shop. Also, on the other hand, Marin and Sajuna became famous cosplayers and have dedicated their lives to their dreams, being able to live on it thanks to donations from their fans on Patreon and now being able to travel to international anime, manga and comic conventions. Unfortunately, every time the two of them leave the country, even if the two of them have become a cosplay couple, Gojo can’t go with them to every place, because he must attend his two business and taking more and more care of his grandpa, putting more weight in his shoulders

However, despite that, Marin always thinks about Gojo constantly and wonders if she should finally share her life with him and get married, as she has always had a crush on Gojo, but is still very shy, contrary to her attitude for the most part of time, she is very shy to express her true feelings to Gojo. Even so, every time she goes abroad to an event, she is always sending messages and photos of the event to Gojo so that he stays informed and does not lose contact, in addition to the fact that Gojo continues to make all of Marin's costumes and she continues to eat and spending most of the time at Gojo's house, making Gojo continually happy as he is comforted with helping Marin and Sajuna achieve their dreams with their detailed costumes.

Just at that moment, Marín and Sajuna found themselves at an event in America, in which Japanese culture (both ancient and modern) is promoted and there are all kinds of cultural events as well as those related to anime, manga, and cosplay. Marin and Sajuna have many fans in America, so they have gone in their most famous and well-known costumes, in Marin's case it was the Succubus costume, Rizu-kyun, while Sajuna went in her red magical girl costume with pink hair. The waiting line to take a photo with them has become endless and they have accidentally had to move further and further into the building to allow more people to enter the line, something that perhaps they could not have imagined in the past but now It is a reality due to its overwhelming success in the world of cosplay. However, the logistical problems that this brings can sometimes be unavoidable, such as, for example, invading the space of other attractions within the event due to the length of the line to take a photo with them.

Finally, both Marín and Sajuna have been forced to invade so much the space of other attractions in their displacement towards the interior of the building that now they have accidentally overlapped with an exhibition of ancient relics brought from Japan. Marín and Sajuna do not usually pay so much attention to that because of the amount of pressure and attention they have on them, and they have not even paid attention to the fact that being so close to those relics they could accidentally damage something, so they continue with the photo session. Everything seemed to be going well and the event was soon to end, even though both girls were already exhausted, and just minutes before the end of the event, Sajuna tries to do a complicated and uncomfortable pose on one leg, something complicated because of the tiredness she already had from standing for so long, not being able to keep her balance in that pose and falls on top of Marin, who was posing for one of the last photos. This caused Marin and Sajuna, both, to fall on top of a glass cabinet that kept a very old and ancestral hina doll.

Worried about the price that doll surely had, that concern would turn to fear when they saw that a fuchsia mist with red eyes came out of the doll that covered the roof of the entire building while people look impressed believing that they were special effects... It seems that said hina doll kept an ancient curse that they have unleashed on themselves by accidentally breaking the glass

Finally, that great mist takes the form of an octopus and with its tentacles it takes Marin and Sajuna, promising an exemplary punishment for waking her up from her great dream. Meanwhile, Marin can't believe what's happening, and she doesn't know if it's a nightmare, if they're asleep, if they've been mentally affected so much by playing video games for so long and now, they're delirious, or some other explanation. Meanwhile Sajuna constantly yells at Marin stating that it is her fault since it was her butt that dropped that ancient cursed relic (the Hina doll), even if Marin fell from the impact of Sajuna's fall. Suddenly a ray of light blinds them both, giving way to a huge white abyss.

Gradually Marin's vision begins to clear, although she doesn't know how much time has passed, but her body feels tired, as if she had been standing in the same pose for a long time, although the tiredness dissipates quickly before her sight has finished clearing, giving way to a warm, exciting and electrifying tension that runs through her entire body from the tips of her fingers to the last of her hair. Suddenly she sees the reflection of herself in a glass wall, while outside, on the other side of the wall, there are many people watching and paying close attention to her, even taking photos, Marin, delighted to be photographed and they give her as much attention as on all occasions, she is hypnotized by the attention and by her impeccable beauty without realizing that she has been turned into a mannequin, who can't move her body (even though her mind is so liquefied that she doesn't even try) and who is in the window of a costume store, with the last cosplay he had on, that of Rizu-kyun.

Elsewhere, Sajuna suffers her own fate. Once her vision clears, she can't move, and sees nothing but a large room full of anime posters and other figurines that, somehow, Sajuna sees as the same height as her, especially because of some figures she reaches to look out of the corner of the eye next to her and a little ahead of her. Suddenly a huge hand holds her, and she sees her reflection in the huge glasses of the nasty guy who took her. She is still in her magical girl cosplay, but no matter how hard she tries she can't move, while a huge giant guy holds her and leers at her... Could it be that she is having a nightmare where she herself has been turned into the figure of herself or the magical girl of the cosplay? However, all the worries dissipated when that giant stroked her hair and, being for some reason hypersensitive to the touch on her hair, her mind became cloudy and then she only thought of being pretty for her new owner.
