The Crab Editorial Office.
Misa curled her lips into a faint, disdainful smile as she looked at the incoming call from "Thick-Skinned Chicken Butt" on her phone screen. Beside her, Orie unconsciously swallowed. It was the teacher's deadline today... looks like she was about to face a disaster.
Under Orie's cautious gaze, Misa answered the phone, then deadpanned in a detached tone. "Hello, this is Satou from Crab Manga. Oh my, isn't this 'Thick-Skinned Chicken Butt'-sensei?"
On the other end of the phone, after the call connected, the utterly horrified "Chicken Butt"—who was locking the door three times over—frantically said to Misa: "What is going on?! You should know I'm not good with men! Change him! Change him for me!!!!" The terrified "Chicken Butt" lowered her voice.
But "Chicken Butt" was met with Misa's characteristic coldness.
"I don't have time to select people for you. Because of the fault of an incompetent writer like yourself, we are out of time. If you have time to complain, please make sure you submit your manuscript before the deadline."
"Don't you—don't you—don't you know?!" After securing the locks, "Chicken Butt" ran out to the balcony so the Rin Ito outside the door wouldn't overhear her, finally daring to speak loudly.
"Don't you know? Men are all vile, despicable, lewd, sex-crazed ejaculation-ists! They're bastards who only think about forcibly assaulting women anytime, anywhere!"
"Chicken Butt's" voice was trembling, and her horror-stricken face lost its color, turning pale.
"Do you have experience?"
"All the men I see in doujinshi are like that!"
"Heh..." Misa's voice was laced with sarcasm. "Truly worthy of 'Chicken Butt'-sensei, who can draw doujinshi based purely on delusions despite still being a virgin."
"Are you asking me to be alone with a guy like that? Are you more concerned with the deadline than the author's chastity? You Devil Editor!"
"Yes." Misa toyed with a strand of her hair with her fingertip, casually brushing her off. "That kind of man only exists in doujinshi. Alright, alright, hurry up and work, you useless hack. If you don't submit your manuscript today... you know the consequences."
Click!
Misa hung up the phone without hesitation.
Although Misa hadn't used the speakerphone, Orie, sitting beside her, heard "Chicken Butt's" terrified voice.
"Satou-senpai, is this... really okay?"
"It's fine," Misa said nonchalantly. "'Bitch Chicken Butt' often says she can't think of panels to draw. It would be best if he just fucked her directly. That way, she wouldn't have any more excuses... Speaking of which, Orie, haven't you been to his house a few times?"
"!!!!"
Meanwhile.
"Gulp..."
"Chicken Butt" kept swallowing nervously as she stared at the direction of the door. Having to spend a whole day alone in the same space with a man... Just kill me now.
But the deadline was midnight tonight. She definitely couldn't finish the drawings alone.
So... she had no choice but to face it!
Arriving at the entryway, "Chicken Butt" tremblingly unlocked the bolted door and cautiously peeked at Rin Ito outside. Only now could Rin Ito truly observe "Chicken Butt."
Her slightly messy black hair reached her waist, and brown eyes behind red-rimmed glasses carried undisguised fear. Beneath her slender neck, a loose, wide-collared, white-and-blue-bordered T-shirt was held up high by her giant breasts. She wasn't wearing a bra; Rin Ito could see the outline of her erect, rosy nipples through the T-shirt, and even faintly make out the difference in color between the pale skin and the pinkness. Below, black tight shorts encased her slightly plump thighs... Not only was she not wearing a bra, but she wasn't wearing panties either; the indentation of a cameltoe was vaguely visible. And one more thing that had to be mentioned was... "Chicken Butt" had a pretty big butt.
After a brief observation, Rin Ito opened his mouth with a slight smile. "Hello, Chicken Butt-sensei. I'm Rin Ito. Misa introduced me to be your assistant for the day."
"H-hello... please come in."
Stepping into the room, "Chicken Butt's" shoulders were trembling as she turned her back to Rin Ito. Oh no, oh no, I forgot to change clothes! I'm going to be assaulted!!!!!!
"Chicken Butt" didn't have a habit of wearing a bra at home. Since the assistants who came before were all girls, she hadn't paid much attention. But today's assistant was a man! He definitely saw her chest and butt just now!!! Now that her back was turned to him... he might not be able to resist pouncing on her, pinning her down in the entryway, stripping off her shorts, laughing at her for being a slut who tried to seduce men by not wearing a bra or panties, then violently taking her virginity, even mercilessly penetrating her chicken butt. I'm going to be assaulted!!!!!!!!
"Chicken Butt" walked towards her workstation with trembling steps, her mind filled with images of being violated by Rin Ito. She only breathed a sigh of relief once she sat down in front of her drawing tablet.
Rin Ito naturally sat down in the assistant's seat beside her.
"Chicken Butt-sensei... 'Chicken Butt' seems a bit awkward to say. Would you mind telling me your real name?" Rin Ito had wanted to complain about the pen name "Thick-Skinned Chicken Butt" for a long time. What the hell is that name?
"Shiyuri Honda... just call me Shiyuri."
"Shiyuri, that's a lovely name..." Rin Ito stretched. "Where's the shared folder for the manuscripts? Let me see what I need to draw."
"Oh... oh." Shiyuri nodded repeatedly, pointing Rin Ito to the manuscript location.
"The completion level is good. Since the backgrounds are also drawn, I'll take care of the inking and coloring."
"Oh... um... please do."
Shiyuri, sitting in front of her computer, occasionally glanced at Rin Ito beside her. Rin Ito's proficient manner made her feel like she was the assistant.
Ignoring Shiyuri, Rin Ito focused on inking and filling in the colors on the areas Shiyuri had marked. Shiyuri used digital art, which was less labor-intensive than traditional pen and paper, so Rin Ito finished supplementing her manuscripts by noon.
"Shiyuri, isn't the next manuscript ready yet? You can just finish the storyboards, and I'll draw the backgrounds." Compared to shonen manga, doujinshi backgrounds were much easier to draw, mostly consisting of rooms or beds, and rarely required drawing extras. At most, he'd need to add a few toys like vibrators or bullet massagers.
"Almost... almost..." Although she said that, being stared at by Rin Ito only slowed down her progress. "C-could you make me a cup of coffee?"
"No problem." Rin Ito stood up to make coffee for Shiyuri. However, while she felt slightly better when Rin Ito was within her peripheral vision and she could see his movements, his departure from her sight made her even more nervous.
He's been with me for so long; he must be lusting after my body now. He's definitely planning how to assault me, and he might even put aphrodisiacs in the coffee!
Right now! Chicken Butt's chicken butt is facing its greatest crisis in history!
