"Hss... I'm so thirsty."
The next day.
Waking up from her hangover, the parched Shiyuri instinctively reached for something beside her. To her surprise, a bottle of water was actually there.
She opened the bottle and gulped down a large amount. Shiyuri stared blankly ahead. As the cool water quenched her thirst, her mind, previously clouded by the hangover, began to clear.
"!!!!!!"
Shiyuri instantly shot up.
I actually got drunk last night! And I got drunk in front of a man! Where was he? Shiyuri looked around vigilantly. The room was quiet, and she didn't see anyone.
Shiyuri cautiously got up.
Even though this was her own home, she tiptoed around like a thief. After searching the room, Shiyuri confirmed that Rin Ito had left.
Did he just assault me and leave? But her body didn't feel any different... Everything seemed normal. Even her butt felt normal; there were no signs of having been forcibly breached.
Shiyuri rushed to sit in front of the full-length mirror. Although she wasn't sure if she could check her hymen with a mirror, she had to try.
However, when she saw herself in the mirror, whether she was a virgin or not suddenly didn't matter.
"Eek!!!!!"
Shiyuri instantly tore off her T-shirt.
Her neckline, stomach, and legs were all covered in words written with a pen.
On her neckline were the words [Big Boobs] along with an arrow pointing downward. Above her belly button—the "baby's room"—a heart-shaped inmon (lewd tattoo) had been drawn! He had drawn it exceptionally meticulously! It was obvious he had spent a good deal of time on it.
Furthermore, above the inmon were the words [Safe Entry/Exit]. As for her legs, the character [正] (tally mark) was written on her inner thigh, along with [Chicken Butt] and arrows pointing to it.
This was the "gift" Rin Ito had left her.
A mangaka's house might lack anything, but never a pen—and he'd used indelible ink! Thank goodness he didn't draw on my face!
However... although there were words, none of them were on overly private areas. The drawing on her stomach could only have been done by lifting the hem of her T-shirt, and the words on her legs were on the outer side of her inner thigh, written over her shorts.
Although Shiyuri didn't believe Rin Ito had violated her while she was drunk last night, the highly imaginative Miss Chicken Butt could already envision Rin Ito smiling wickedly as he drew and wrote all over her body.
Her heart pounded wildly.
It's coming! The inspiration is flooding in!!!!
Shiyuri immediately opened her computer to record the inspiration.
The first panel would be the female protagonist waking up from her sleep, but two iron rings had been added to her proudly large breasts, and used condoms were hanging from the rings.
Just as the readers think this is an R-rated violation comic, the male protagonist appears.
It turns out the female protagonist, who secretly has a training fetish, deliberately drank a sleeping potion and asked the male protagonist to give her a "surprise," filming the process of creating the surprise.
Next, the two watch the video from the previous night together. Then, the panel perspective zooms in on the video screen, showing the footage from last night, with the male protagonist narrating what he did to the female protagonist while showing the video.
Another pure-love training comic!
Perfect!
Ignoring the writing and drawings on her body, before the inspiration in her mind could vanish, Shiyuri quickly grabbed paper and pen and sketched out a rough storyboard.
Although Shiyuri mainly uses a digital tablet on her computer to draw her comics, using paper and pen is more convenient for quickly jotting down temporary inspiration.
The first few pages flowed smoothly, but when she got to the part where the perspective zooms in on the video filmed by the male protagonist, she stalled.
How did he do it? Did he sample my huge breasts? After all, if he tasted them and then put my clothes back on, there wouldn't be any marks unless he bit hard. What about my butt? Did he fiercely kiss and suck on my butt?
Damn it!!! Why didn't I install a security camera at home!
It wasn't that Shiyuri wanted evidence; she just wanted to know Rin Ito's movements and expressions at the time, and how he step-by-step turned her into this.
Ahhhhhhh!!!
Why is my imagination skill failing me now!!!!
Move! Brain, why aren't you moving!
Damn it! My body is itchy! It feels like a hundred Rin Itos are crawling all over me!
Shiyuri picked up her phone, intending to contact Rin Ito, but once the phone was in her hand, she remembered she didn't have his number; she would have to contact Misa to get it.
Looking at the large character [鬼] (Oni / Demon) next to the contact name, Shiyuri felt a tremor in her liver. Shiyuri didn't know the numbers of the other editors, so contacting Misa was the only way to reach him.
Swallowing, Shiyuri cautiously dialed Misa's number.
"Yes, Chicken Butt-sensei, what is it?"
Because the manuscript was successfully submitted before the deadline yesterday, Misa's attitude towards her was better, though her tone was still as cold as ever.
"Um... could you please give me Rin Ito's phone number?" Shiyuri asked timidly.
"You had such a good opportunity yesterday, and you didn't offer up your butt. Are you desperate now?"
"N-no, it's not that! I... I've conceived a new pure-love training comic, but... I can't draw the storyboard... I want him to help me." Even though she was alone in the room, Shiyuri lowered her head, her expression twisted with embarrassment.
"You were trained by him?"
"I was not!" Shiyuri reflexively refuted. But on second thought, writing on someone could be considered a form of mental training, so the statement that she was trained might not be wrong, but even if she was, she couldn't tell Misa! She would definitely be mercilessly ridiculed!
Shiyuri quickly changed the subject. "Helping a mangaka successfully complete their comic is an editor's job, right!? Hurry up and give me his phone number! This is for the sake of the manga."
As she finished speaking, the voice coming from the phone wasn't Misa's, but Rin Ito's.
The day after deciding on the circle name, Rin Ito, as the president of "Baumkuchen," came to the editorial office in the morning to sign the submission contract.
However, the contract was primarily for Rin Ito to contribute content to the publishing house; Mashiro and Sagiri were just using the publisher's resources to print their doujinshi.
Misa had simply handed the phone directly to Rin Ito. Her usually ice-cold face was now curled into a subtle, nearly imperceptible, shallow smile.
"Hello, Shiyuri? What's wrong? Did you like the gift I left you so much that you wanted to thank me properly?"
Even through the phone, Rin Ito could imagine Shiyuri's expression when she woke up this morning and saw the "artwork" he had left on her body.
Hearing Rin Ito's voice, Shiyuri was first surprised, then gritted her teeth. Shiyuri didn't mind the drawing on her body too much, but why did he have to use indelible ink!
"I! Thank! You! Very! Much!"
