After being interrupted multiple times by Hikari.
Sakuramiya Hinata finally woke up.
She really didnāt want to agree to Tachikawaās threats, not even once, not even allowing him to touch her, she was unwilling.
And she also figured it out, someone like Tachikawa, how could he really stop after one time?
He would probably use this as leverage to keep threatening her, making her unable to turn things around for the rest of her life.
Looking at Tachikawa, who was dumbfounded by her sudden outburst, Sakuramiya Hinata raised her hand, pointed at his lecherous face, and angrily scolded: "Tachikawa, Iām telling you, just the sight of you makes me sick to my stomach."
"I will never agree to your disgusting request. Iāll never have anything to do with you in this lifetime."
"Get lost! Just get lost!"
"Disgusting creature, like a cockroach!"
"Seeing you makes me want to stomp you to death with one foot!"
"You, you, you! You nasty piece of motherfu*king trash!"
Having just been repeatedly threatened by Tachikawa, Sakuramiya Hinata, who had been holding back her anger, not daring to refuse or even speak, finally snapped due to the extreme suffocation she had endured.
Suddenly, as if venting, she shouted at Tachikawa with all her might.
She even cursed with words that shouldnāt come out of a beautiful girlās mouth.
Even Sakuramiya Hinata herself was shocked at her reaction.
But after saying these words, Sakuramiya Hinata felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if she had drunk a large gulp of icy Sprite on a scorching summer day, cooling her down from head to toe.
As for Tachikawa, who had been scolded so harshly, and even cursed at his mother, he was left completely stunned.
He couldnāt comprehend it.
In his impression, Sakuramiya Hinata, who was timid and cowardly and should have complied at the first threat, had suddenly become so brave, even pointing at his nose and cursing him.
He couldnāt figure it out.
[Ding~ With the hostās help and stimulation, Sakuramiya Hinata, who was originally timid and influenced by the cuckold intelligence-reducing aura, regained a sliver of normal intelligence and bravely said no to the blonde-haired boy. She resisted the threat and greatly upheld the spirit of pure love!]
[Reward obtained: Pure Love Points +200]
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Hikariās lips curled into a faint smile.
Although the reward points werenāt a lot, they werenāt too little either.
After all, he hadnāt done much today.
And besides, this was an experiment of sorts.
Earlier, Hikari could have easily punched this fool Tachikawa to the ground.
In his memory, it was this blonde-haired cuckold, Tachikawa, who used threats to defile the Sakuramiya sisters.
So if he had taken Tachikawa down earlier, it would have seemingly resolved the problem at its source, nipping it in the bud.
However, it was evident that this world wasnāt just the Sakuramiya sistersā world. It was a dangerous place filled with blonde-haired guys and cuckolds everywhere.
If Tachikawa was taken down today, wouldnāt another Tachimizu show up tomorrow, and a Tachiyama the day after?
Simply taking down the blonde-haired fools didnāt seem to offer much reward, especially for a weakling like Tachikawa.
The last punch only rewarded 5 Pure Love Points.
So Hikari decided to change his approach. Rather than giving someone a fish, itās better to teach them how to fish.
He wanted to help the originally not-so-smart Sakuramiya Hinata regain some normal intelligence so that she could face threats like a regular person.
Hikari wasnāt sure if it would work, so he treated it as an experiment.
With his guidance, Sakuramiya Hinata, who previously would bow her head, stay silent, and look conflicted when threatened by Tachikawa, finally woke up. She even dared to shout at him boldly.
He had to admit, helping someone break free from the intelligence-reducing effects of the cuckold aura felt genuinely satisfying.
Moreover, the reward was generous. Without lifting a finger, he earned 200 points.
Thinking of this, Hikari was satisfied as he glanced at Sakuramiya Hinata. The experiment was a success and quite interesting.
However, where thereās joy for one, thereās misery for another.
Hikari was pleased.
But Tachikawa, who had been scolded so harshly by Sakuramiya Hinata, turned black-faced in an instant.
At first, Tachikawa was dumbfounded by the scolding, but after regaining his senses, he sneered repeatedly.
He glanced at Hikari, whom he couldnāt possibly beat, and then turned to leave while sneering at Sakuramiya Hinata: "Alright! Alright, Sakuramiya Hinata, how dare you scold me like this?"
"And with such nasty words. Do you even have the elegance a beautiful girl should have?"
"Iām so disappointed in you! Just wait! How dare you refuse meāboth you and your sister just wait."
"Iām going to upload those photos online right now so everyone can see your incestuous relationship with your sister. Youāll both become the laughingstocks and disgrace of the entire school, bringing shame to your parents."
Hearing Tachikawaās cold threats, Sakuramiya Hinata, who had just been shouting so energetically and passionately, began to feel nervous again as her enthusiasm subsided.
Although she had decided she would never agree to Tachikawaās disgusting conditions, she was utterly at a loss in the face of his threats.
Standing there dumbly, Sakuramiya Hinata didnāt know what to do.
Then she saw Hikari standing beside her.
Perhaps because Hikari had technically saved her earlier, and under his guidance, she successfully resisted the threat, Sakuramiya Hinata instinctively cast a pleading look toward him, her eyes full of helplessness.
Hikari sighed and asked, "Hinata-senpai, does your head itch?"
Sakuramiya Hinata looked confused and replied, "No... it doesnāt itch? I just washed my hair yesterday..."
Hikari nodded. "I see. You havenāt started growing a brain yet."
Before the still-dazed Sakuramiya Hinata could respond, Hikari continued, "Are you very worried that Tachikawa might spread those photos of you and your sister?"
Sakuramiya Hinata nodded repeatedly. "Of course!"
Hikari said, "Then why donāt you just take back those photos?"
"Tachikawa secretly took those pictures of you two. Isnāt it perfectly reasonable for you to snatch them back? If you retrieve the photos, he wonāt have any evidence to expose your relationship. What are you hesitating about?"
Sakuramiya Hinataās eyes suddenly lit up as if she had just been enlightened. "Youāre right! That makes sense!"
"Why didnāt I think of that before?"
Saying this, Sakuramiya Hinata immediately started to chase after Tachikawa.
However, after running a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to Hikari with a look of despair.
"He... he runs too fast. I canāt catch up..."
As it turned out, whether it was because he was already worried about being chased or because he overheard Hikariās words, Tachikawa had already started running out of the woods.
Having gained the advantage of starting first, and with Sakuramiya Hinata being from the archery club, not the track team, she naturally felt she couldnāt catch up.
Instinctively, Sakuramiya Hinata wanted to ask Hikari for help.
But she quickly realized that even if Hikari could run faster than Tachikawa, the latter had already gotten so far away that Hikari couldnāt catch up either.
"This is bad... I canāt catch him... My sister and I are going to be exposed... What do I do... What do I do..."
Sakuramiya Hinata stood there muttering to herself, completely at a loss.
Seeing her pacing in circles in desperation, her brain seemingly filled with pure milk instead of thoughts, Hikari glanced at the bow and arrows on her back and said helplessly, "Hinata-senpai, donāt you have a bow and arrows with you? If your legs canāt catch up with Tachikawa, canāt you use your bow?"
"Youāve trained in archery for so long, even won awards in competitions, and itās all just for show?"
Hearing Hikariās words, Sakuramiya Hinata was enlightened yet again.
She quickly took the bow and arrows from her back, nocked an arrow, drew the string, and aimed at Tachikawa.
WHOOSH!
The first arrow missed.
Sakuramiya Hinata quickly nocked a second arrow and shot it again.
WHOOSH!
The second arrow also missed.
Watching Tachikawa run farther and farther away, Sakuramiya Hinata panicked completely.
She drew her bow again, her hands trembling violently from nervousness.
Naturally, the third arrow missed again.
Seeing that Tachikawa was about to run out of the woods and disappear from view, Sakuramiya Hinata fell into despair.
"Itās over... Tachikawa has run beyond the effective range of my bow. Itās all my fault for being too nervous and not performing as usual. Itās over, I can only let him get away..."
Just as Sakuramiya Hinata was wallowing in self-pity, utterly hopeless, a hand suddenly reached out toward her petite figure.
It was Hikari, who grabbed the bow from her hands.
"What are you doing?" Facing Hikariās sudden action, Sakuramiya Hinata instinctively asked.
But Hikari didnāt explain. Sakuramiya Hinata only saw him quickly nocking an arrow after snatching her bow.
Seeing this, Sakuramiya Hinata sighed, "Sigh, at this distance, my chance of hitting is one in ten thousand. Youāre a beginner, itās impossible for you to hit. Let it go."
Hikari ignored her words entirely.
He simply pulled the bowstring to full draw and gently released it.
WHOOSH!
The arrow, shot with such force that it nearly snapped the bowstring, flew out at terrifying speed.
The white fletching at the end of the arrow spun rapidly, forming a black-and-white yin-yang pattern with the arrow shaft. It looked like two intertwined yin-yang fish swimming through the air.
Sakuramiya Hinata, seeing Hikari, who she thought was an archery novice, drawing and shooting so skillfully and powerfully, was already stunned.
What happened next shocked her even more.
Right before her eyes, the yin-yang arrow accurately struck its target.
The sharp arrowhead embedded itself precisely in Tachikawaās calf, who was already far away.
THUD!
A loud crashing sound followed.
Shot in the leg, Tachikawa stumbled and fell to the ground, scattering his camera and photos.
Seeing this, Sakuramiya Hinata couldnāt help but cry out.
"You hit him!"
"Hikari, you actually hit him?"
"Oh my god!"
"At this distance, beyond my bowās effective range, you hit him with pinpoint accuracy."
"Isnāt this the kind of archery only legendary marksmen have? Oh my god!"
As a senior member of the archery club who had trained for years and won awards in competitions, Sakuramiya Hinata understood better than anyone how extraordinary Hikariās shot was.
So, staring at Hikariās calm face, she was completely dumbfounded.
But faced with her shocked and wide-eyed gaze, Hikari showed no trace of pride.
After all, as someone with master-level archery, he knew the arrow would hit as soon as he drew the bow.
Lowering the bow, Hikari calmly reminded her, "That guy is down for now and canāt run. Instead of being surprised, shouldnāt you hurry over and retrieve the photos?"
