The slightly salty sea breeze blew. The girls, taking advantage of the heat wave not yet sweeping in, were playing and splashing on the beach. Mashiro was building a small sandcastle on Suzu, while Ami, Maki, and the others were playing in the knee-deep water.
Rin Ito, wearing swim trunks, and Megumi Katou, naked, walked across the stone-paved path to the swing set next to the gazebo in the middle of the small island.
Rin Ito sat down on the swing, while Megumi Katou hesitated slightly. Yesterday, Suzu was wearing a swimsuit, but Megumi Katou was currently naked, only wearing a pair of sandals. Although the swing was new, it had been left outdoors and had accumulated some dust. Normally, it wouldn't be considered dirty, but Megumi Katou was completely naked now.
If she sat down, her private area would get dusty. Realizing this, Rin Ito stood up and stood with Megumi Katou.
"Is something the matter?"
"Um..." Megumi Katou's gaze drifted, her face shy. After a brief hesitation, she lowered the hands that had been covering her body and put them behind her back, leaving her most sensitive areas completely exposed to Rin Ito's view. Her two pink nipples were particularly eye-catching.
Before, Rin Ito relied solely on visual estimation through clothes, but now that he could clearly see her, Rin Ito could confirm that Megumi Katou's figure was average, falling between Eri Sawamura and Utaha, slightly smaller than Utaha.
Directly facing Rin Ito's unreserved gaze made Megumi Katou's ears burn. Just as Rin Ito was wondering, Megumi Katou pressed her lips together, inhaled, and bravely spoke.
"You were about to draw the third chapter of your new series, right?"
"That's right, why?" Rin Ito's Reverse NTR series, based on Kaede and Suzu, had already released two books, and the third was due this month.
"I've read the first two chapters. The first chapter was about the younger sister stealing the older sister's boyfriend, and the second chapter was about the sudden appearance of a genius painter... The protagonists are based on Kaede, Suzu, and Mashiro, right?"
"That's right." Rin Ito admitted bluntly. Although Rin Ito used them as protagonists, he only referenced their personalities and expressions. An outsider would never connect the protagonist to Kaede just by reading the Manga, but those who had been to their parties could definitely recognize them immediately. Although Kaede hadn't openly admitted her cuckold fetish to many people, everyone essentially knew it.
But... why was Megumi Katou suddenly bringing this up?
"What is it?"
"Chapter three... Can you let me be the female protagonist?"
Rin Ito raised an eyebrow. Let her be the female protagonist? Why would she suddenly think of this? She wants to be the female protagonist of a Hentai?
Just as Rin Ito was confused, Megumi Katou continued. "If you let me be the female protagonist... anything is fine. Even my virginity... it's okay."
Wait a minute...
Is this the casting couch?
Rin Ito had heard many examples of actresses having to sleep with the director or a sponsor in a 'casting couch' situation to get the female lead role in movies or TV dramas.
But... Can you get the female lead role in a Hentai through the casting couch? This was the first time Rin Ito had encountered such a thing, especially offering her virginity for the role.
Something is off... Rin Ito carefully thought back and recalled the details of Megumi Katou's self-introduction. She could have worn a swimsuit but chose to be naked. She also seemed slightly excited during her self-introduction...
Wait! Could he be the one being casting couched?
Rin Ito subtly examined Megumi Katou and tentatively spoke, "Being my female protagonist isn't that simple."
"Any embarrassing research is fine; I will cooperate completely."
Megumi Katou didn't hesitate, which made Rin Ito even more certain that he was the one being casting couched. She must have awakened some incredible fetish. Otherwise, an ordinary girl wouldn't want to become a Hentai protagonist unless she was a hardcore Hentai fan like Misaki.
"It's possible, but what kind of plot do you want?" Rin Ito asked casually. Since Megumi Katou was willing to offer her virginity to be the female protagonist, she must want a customized plot. From the plot she wanted, Rin Ito could likely guess what fetish she had awakened.
"Any plot is fine."
"Any plot is fine..."
No answer was also an answer. She simply wanted to become the female protagonist of a Hentai. The key was "Hentai" and "female protagonist." Megumi Katou mostly played Galgames before, and she only read Hentai out of curiosity after knowing he drew it. She wasn't a frequent reader.
If that was the case, remove the "Hentai" keyword. She just purely wanted to be the female protagonist. Rin Ito remembered that it was the same when they were making the Galgame. Megumi Katou repeatedly emphasized that she was the female protagonist when discussing the script.
It was reasonable for someone who had been an "extra" for over ten years to want to be a female protagonist for once. However... she was already the female protagonist in the Galgame. There was no need to become the female protagonist of a Hentai, even offering her purity for the role.
Therefore, there must be another purpose. If there was another purpose, both the "Hentai" and "female protagonist" keywords could be crossed out.
So, what was left was... She wants to lose her virginity? And being the female protagonist is just a bonus?
After a brief analysis, Rin Ito came to a conclusion that even he found hard to believe... Megumi Katou wants my body!?
Megumi Katou had also attended parties before. It was reasonable for her to be curious and want to experience it firsthand after seeing the others' expressions of pleasure. Could her choice to be naked instead of wearing a swimsuit have been to tempt him?
However, last night, when they slept in the studio together, she didn't try anything in the darkness. And in terms of temptation, wearing a swimsuit was actually more alluring; being completely naked was less so.
This meant that Megumi Katou's choice to be naked wasn't to tempt him; she simply didn't want to wear clothes.
Isn't that Exhibitionism!?
If Megumi Katou had an exhibitionist fetish, everything would make sense. Megumi Katou, who had been an "extra" for over a decade, wanted to attract attention, and the simplest way to gain attention was... taking off her clothes. The desire to be noticed gave her an exhibitionist fetish, but a naked girl walking down the street would definitely attract attention... and lead to a police report.
However, on this island, where most people were fellow partners in pleasure, it was fine. There were girls here who were just as naked as her. She could freely expose her body in front of everyone and play some embarrassing games to satisfy her desire to be watched.
After coming to this conclusion, Rin Ito looked Megumi Katou up and down. Megumi Katou didn't flinch or look away from Rin Ito's gaze. Instead, she instinctively separated her tightly pressed legs slightly. The sea breeze penetrated the area, making her body tremble involuntarily.
After a moment of consideration, Rin Ito spoke abruptly.
"Do you have an exhibitionist fetish?"
"Eh!?"
