"Do you have an exhibitionist fetish?"
"Eh? Exhibitionism? Wh-what are you talking about? I... how could I be an exhibitionist?"
Hearing Rin Ito's question, Megumi Katou clearly looked panicked. She wasn't an innocent girl who didn't understand theory. Having played many 18+ Galgames, she was well aware that her own fetish was called exhibitionism.
Despite this, when faced with Rin Ito's direct question, she instinctively denied it.
Seeing her guilty and flustered appearance confirmed Rin Ito's suspicion. Her desire to become a Hentai female protagonist was a way to cyber-fulfill her exhibitionist desires. After all, the female protagonist of a Hentai...
How many people would see it once it was sold? And if it spread online... just imagining it made Megumi Katou's heart race.
"Let me tell you first, even if you become my Hentai protagonist, I won't draw you directly. I'll only use your personality as a reference, and the only thing I'll draw directly is your eyes."
"I said I don't have an exhibitionist fetish!" Megumi Katou, embarrassed and annoyed, puffed out her cheeks and looked away stubbornly.
"Alright, alright... No exhibitionist fetish." Rin Ito suppressed a laugh. "I said earlier that becoming my female protagonist is not that simple. You'll need to undergo many, many 'research plays.'"
Megumi Katou still had her face turned away but didn't object.
"It's quite hot outside... so, my protagonist, how about we go back to the studio first?"
"Mhm~"
Megumi Katou, in a good mood, and Rin Ito returned to the studio. As soon as they entered, Utaha and Eri Sawamura looked at them with suspicious eyes... Did they have something they needed to talk about privately?
Rin Ito calmly walked to the two girls with Megumi Katou. "How's the writing going?"
"The prologue is almost finished. Do you want to read it?"
"I'll read it once it's complete. You handle the script quality; I trust you, Kasumigaoka-san."
The Galgame was their game. Rin Ito was just there to supervise their progress and accumulate experience in Galgame production.
Utaha delicately ran her slender fingers through a few strands of hair, which slipped down her smooth, fragrant shoulder. "Just call me Utaha."
"Are you in heat?" Eri Sawamura frowned, looking at her suspiciously. Then, in a surprise attack, she reached toward Utaha's crotch. "I thought you were in heat."
"I'm not like you, a pervert who goes into heat anywhere." Utaha pinched Eri Sawamura's hand, which was checking if she was in heat. "Although I am a professional light novelist, I still want to hear your opinion as a creator."
"Huh? Am I not the same as him?"
"Sawamura Eri, he's different from a pervert like you who only knows how to dominate girls. He's a creator; you're just a masochistic, perverse, erotic lunatic."
"Who's an erotic lunatic?! Hmph... at least I'm better than an exhibitionist like you who only wears pantyhose!"
Rin Ito gently tapped both their heads. "If you want my opinion, just let me know when you're done writing. I won't bother you now."
The Galgame script wasn't being created by Utaha alone; Eri Sawamura and Megumi Katou were also involved. Utaha was an all-ages light novelist, but this game was 18+, and Utaha didn't know much about 18+ Galgames. Utaha was responsible for the all-ages parts, while Eri Sawamura and Megumi Katou were responsible for the 18+ parts. Specifically, their job was to mark the spots in Utaha's finished all-ages script where 18+ scenes would be added and what specific plays would be performed.
However, they only decided where and what plays would occur. Utaha was still writing the actual 18+ script. It wasn't that Eri Sawamura couldn't write it; Utaha just didn't want her script to be defiled by them... Was this like a cyber-virginity complex?
Rin Ito didn't disturb them and sat back down at his computer.
Originally, the female protagonist for Rin Ito's third chapter was modeled after Nanami, but since Megumi Katou resorted to the 'casting couch,' he had to let her jump the queue.
First, the character setting. Since she was modeled after Megumi Katou, the female protagonist's character would definitely be an ordinary girl with low presence. She would have an average body, ordinary hair color, and generally be an average high school girl, except for her eyes, which would reproduce Megumi Katou's gaze. Oh, and the exhibitionist fetish.
An ordinary high school girl with an exhibitionist fetish... what kind of plot should I design to cuckold the female protagonist?
Hmm... After a moment of thought, Rin Ito had an idea.
The female protagonist never noticed that a low-presence classmate secretly loved her boyfriend. This ordinary high school girl with an exhibitionist fetish would sneak to the male protagonist's house every night, naked, and masturbate, leveraging her low presence. One day, she was caught by the male protagonist, who suddenly came out, leading to all sorts of exciting exhibitionist plays. As for what play... right, he'd draw a play where they sneak into the female protagonist's house under the cover of night and have sex using extreme camera angles. A twenty-plus-page Hentai doesn't need a complicated plot.
Having decided, Rin Ito immediately started drawing the storyboards. Rin Ito sat in front of the computer for several hours from morning until noon. At some point, Megumi Katou moved behind Rin Ito and quietly watched him draw the character design and storyboard drafts.
Just as Rin Ito said, the female protagonist on the screen had nothing in common with her except for her eyes. But Megumi Katou knew that the girl in front of her was her Hentai avatar, and she would be the female protagonist of this book!
Although she didn't know the plot yet, just imagining herself as the female protagonist, and considering that this Manga would be printed, scanned, or uploaded online and seen by countless people, Megumi Katou felt a surge of heat threatening to burst from her body.
"What plot are you planning to draw?"
"You scared me..." Rin Ito was startled by Megumi Katou's sudden appearance. After catching his breath, Rin Ito briefly told Megumi Katou the general plot. Her eyes widened after hearing it.
"Going to your house naked to pee at night? Am I a little dog?"
"This is just the plot of the Hentai. Of course, if you want to role-play as a little dog like Karen, you can try it."
"I'll pass on that. I don't want to be a little dog peeing at your door." Megumi Katou said softly, then brought her lips close to Rin Ito's ear. "However... I can try it here if you want. Aren't you looking for research material?"
Although Megumi Katou had awakened an incredible fetish, she wasn't a slut. A fetish is a fetish. She could satisfy it psychologically by being a cyber-exhibitionist with an avatar in a Hentai. She wouldn't be like the exhibitionist sluts in Hentai who run around naked. She knew the difference between Hentai and reality.
"..."
Good grief, Rin Ito thought. He hadn't even thought about getting research material, but she was eager to provide it.
Before Rin Ito could respond, Megumi Katou walked back to Eri Sawamura and the others as if nothing happened. Rin Ito continued to contemplate the storyboard draft.
Rin Ito only stopped when Shion, wearing a maid-style swimsuit, entered the studio. The maid-style swimsuit meant removing all the fabric except for the white apron of a maid uniform. Since the maid apron was originally small and designed for looks rather than function, only the apron remained, which was similar to a Chinese dudou (bodice) and covered almost nothing.
Ai Hayasaka and her mother also wore the same style of maid swimsuit, but Rin Ito hadn't seen them all day yesterday and half-day today, perhaps because they were mainly responsible for the other two rooms or because they were intentionally hiding. But it didn't matter... the vacation was still long, at least ten days to half a month, and considering the pace of their slacking off, they might stay here for the entire vacation.
"Lunch is ready. Would everyone like to eat now or later?"
Shion, despite wearing the sexy swimsuit when she entered the studio, still maintained her elegant demeanor.
There was no dining room on the island, as there were three separate rooms. Dinner would be eaten together at the long table on the beach, while lunch would be eaten in the rooms due to the temperature. As for breakfast... that depended on each person's waking time and habits. Night owls like Utaha and Eri Sawamura usually skipped breakfast, while early risers like Maki and the others usually ate.
Shigure, who had been supervised by Rin Ito and hadn't slacked off all morning, looked at Shion as if she were a savior.
"Now!"
However... even if she ate slowly, it wouldn't take long.
After lunch, Shion took the tableware, and Shigure looked at Rin Ito with a pitiful gaze. "Ito-sensei, I've drawn some storyboard drafts this morning... how about a rest this afternoon?"
"Did you really finish the storyboard drafts? Let me see." Rin Ito had to keep an eye on creators prone to delays. Although Rin Ito had been in the studio all morning, he was mostly drawing his own storyboard drafts. Rin Ito could only ensure Shigure stayed in front of the computer, but he wasn't entirely sure if she was slacking off or genuinely drawing the manuscript.
Rin Ito checked. Shigure had drawn six pages of storyboard drafts in one morning. A single Hentai book was only about twenty pages, so the progress was quite good. Furthermore, the girls who slept in would be waking up in the afternoon. Rin Ito figured the studio would get quite lively, and she wouldn't be able to draw much anyway, so he decided to give her the afternoon off.
"Yay~" Shigure immediately rushed to the refrigerator and took out a can of beer. For Shigure, the hiss of the can opening was the best music. After chugging a large mouthful, she ran over to Eri Sawamura and the others with a few cans of beer.
"Come on, come on! Beer is the best source of inspiration!"
Rin Ito didn't bother with them and looked at Bocchi in the corner of the room, who had been wearing a paper bag over her head and playing air guitar all morning. The bandage Rin Ito had placed on her yesterday had been ripped off and replaced with a new one, but Bocchi's application skills were clearly poor. It was crooked, and she hadn't even managed to cover the most sensitive pink part, which was slightly exposed.
As for why it was an air guitar... it wasn't that she didn't bring her guitar, but she was simply afraid to make a sound.
Seeing Rin Ito notice her through the holes in the paper bag, Bocchi immediately shrank back, turning the bag around so the openings faced her back. She silently chanted, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me... Eek!!!!!"
Bocchi only lifted her head and gave Rin Ito an awkward, twisted smile when Rin Ito pulled the paper bag off her head.
"Bocchi, weren't you bored playing air guitar all morning?"
"N-not bored... I'm used to it." Bocchi answered Rin Ito cautiously, afraid he might suddenly call people over and ask her to perform an exhibitionist masturbation show to build confidence.
"I've finished the avatar Sagiri drew for you. Since you don't have anything planned for the afternoon, how about we do a live stream?"
"L-live stream?" Bocchi shook her head violently. Her unbound large breasts swayed with her movement. The two exposed pink nipples seemed to stand erect due to her nervousness, boldly proclaiming their existence. However, Bocchi clearly didn't have the mental capacity to care about these small matters now... He's already seen everything anyway.
But if she did a live stream... I have over one hundred thousand followers!
One hundred thousand... That's enough to fill a concert hall!
Bocchi instantly imagined herself standing on a stage in a bandage swimsuit, playing guitar in a concert hall, with all the screens around the stage focused solely on her crotch, which was covered only by a single bandage.
My brain is trembling!!!!
"No, no, no, absolutely not!!!! I'll give you my virginity, just please don't make me live stream!!!!" Even if only one percent of her followers watched, that was still a thousand viewers! Forget a thousand; Bocchi would tremble uncontrollably with just ten viewers.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Sagiri to live stream with you."
"Eek!! With Sagiri too!?" Bocchi was even more frightened after hearing Rin Ito's words. Her fans plus Sagiri's fans...
"Ooh-eeh..." Bocchi's body instantly went limp, as if she was about to melt.
Seeing Bocchi's state, Rin Ito was also a bit helpless. Pure coercion probably wouldn't work. He needed to stimulate Bocchi's proactive motivation.
"Bocchi, you just said that giving me your virginity is fine as long as you don't have to live stream, right?"
"Eh? That... that..."
Bocchi's lips moved for a while, stammering. Giving him her virginity was just an impulse on Bocchi's part, but on second thought, it wasn't entirely unacceptable! He had promised to take care of her before. If giving him her virginity meant she could be a useless freeloader by his side for the rest of her life, it wasn't a bad deal.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your virginity for now." Rin Ito paused, then changed the subject. "But... anything besides your virginity is fair game, how about that?"
"I... you... Uh... mhm."
Bocchi finally nodded after mumbling for a long time. She then silently put the paper bag that Rin Ito had removed back on her head, turning the holes toward the back of her head. Her entire body was tense and crumpled, and she spread her hands and legs, giving him a look that implied she didn't care what Rin Ito did to her.
To cure Bocchi's social anxiety, sheer coercion wouldn't work. If he kept pushing her, it might backfire, so he couldn't force her!
