Bang!
With a bang, Shiroyuri slammed a box onto the table. Marin and Misaki looked at the box curiously. Rin Ito had seen it before, and Orie, as an editor, and Eiri, as a fellow doujinshi artist, knew exactly what it was. Rin Ito and Eiri also had such boxes in their homes, which, of course, contained the props and materials used for reference when drawing doujinshi.
"Since it's a pure-love doujinshi, Orie-san will play the heroine, Ito-sensei will play the hero, and Saho will be the assistant."
"..." Saho's lips twitched with resignation, but she didn't object... It would probably just involve filming some short videos, at most helping her shave. It wasn't the first time, anyway.
"What about us? We're here for the one-day assistant experience." Misaki clenched her fists with excitement, her light green eyes sparkling.
"Misaki..." Marin tugged on Misaki's sleeve. Although Marin was usually open and could talk about 18+ games with her classmates, she suddenly became shy at a crucial moment. Just seeing the props through the gap in the box made Marin extremely shy. Although she hadn't bought any for reference like Rin Ito, Marin, who often played pure-love BDSM games, was well-versed in various props and plays. What if Misaki's words give Shiroyuri an idea? Although she really liked Shizuku, being subjected to BDSM like Shizuku was too embarrassing! A shame. If only she had brought Shizuku's cosplay outfit! Although it was designed and tailored for her own body, Orie should be able to fit into it. Watching Orie get subjected to BDSM while wearing Shizuku's cosplay outfit... just thinking about it in her head was exciting! Her delicate face was already crimson.
"As for you..." Shiroyuri couldn't think of what to have them do for a moment. She drew pure-love BDSM, and since it was pure-love, there was only the hero and heroine. Shiroyuri wouldn't know what to do with an extra person.
"Don't worry," Rin Ito said on Shiroyuri's behalf. "Let Shiroyuri finish the play for her mental storyboards first. Otherwise, readers won't be able to see Shiroyuri-sensei's masterpiece in the next issue of Etsuraku Ten Magazine."
Misaki and Marin were both looking forward to Shiroyuri's new work. Since Rin Ito said so, even though she was itching to participate, Misaki had no choice but to nod and suppress her desire to join in.
"First..." Shiroyuri swallowed, then moved a chair over and had Orie sit down. She then pulled a red rope from her treasure chest. Pure-love BDSM is still BDSM. Since it involves BDSM, bondage and restraint are essential. Shiroyuri could cautiously try other small props on herself, but bondage and restraint were different. Although there were tutorials online on how to tie yourself up, what if she couldn't untie herself? What if she tied herself up like a wriggling worm, unable to untie herself, and had to call for help using a phone voice assistant or something...? That level of shame play could fill an entire doujinshi.
So, Shiroyuri never dared to try it. It was also impossible to tie up Saho for material, and asking Misaki Satō was out of the question. Shiroyuri figured if she actually asked her, she would be tied up and gagged with her own underwear!
"Orie-san, take... take off your clothes first. We can't tear them off like in the doujinshi."
"..." A mortified Orie gave Shiroyuri a look of indignation... She better actually have a play in mind and just be unable to draw the storyboards!
It was early autumn. Orie was wearing a thin knit sweater, a pleated skirt, and black tights. Orie suppressed her shame and slowly took off her light-colored sweater, undershirt, and pleated skirt under the gaze of Rin Ito and the girls.
"B-big! And... what a mature style." Under the sweater and pleated skirt was a matching black lace hollowed-out lingerie set. Through the sheer lingerie, two faint pink shadows were subtly visible. Although Orie was a doujinshi editor, based on first impressions, Shiroyuri thought Orie was a shy, timid type, and her lingerie would definitely be very plain. She never expected... This is practically suggestive lingerie, isn't it!?
Marin wasn't surprised. She knew Orie's closet was filled with various cosplay outfits and suggestive lingerie. What Orie was wearing now was actually quite reserved. The items in her closet were truly daring, the kind of sexy lingerie you'd only see in a doujinshi. Shiroyuri steadied herself. She's an editor for doujinshi, after all. On the surface, she seems shy and timid, but she's actually a secretly lustful, reserved type! Hmm... that kind of contrasting persona seems interesting!
"Orie-san, take off your bra and panties, but leave the black tights on... Oh, by the way, are Orie-san's black tights expensive? I have cheaper ones if they are, because we'll be tearing them later." If a gun appears in the first act, it must fire in the third act. If tights appear in a doujinshi, they must be ripped! This is a universal truth!
"It's... it's fine. They're not very expensive." Orie said in a low voice, her face flushed.
As Orie was taking off her bra, Shiroyuri was already thinking about the storyboards for the scene. After Orie was finished undressing, Shiroyuri used the red rope to tie Orie's lower legs, which were wrapped in black tights, to the chair legs. She then had Orie raise her arms, hands behind her neck. This posture exposed Orie's clean, hairless armpits. Although armpits and the faint view between her legs through the tights weren't on the same level, having a part of the body that wasn't normally seen exposed to the gaze of others... the sense of shame was almost as intense as being completely naked.
"Ugh..." Just as Orie was starting to adjust, the rope tied around her wrists was pulled downward. A sudden, shallow cry escaped Orie's mouth. Orie had instinctively been hunching over out of embarrassment, but with the pull, Orie had to arch her back, thrusting her perky breasts high up. Under the gaze of Rin Ito and the girls, the tips became even more erect, and the look of shame on her face intensified.
"That's good. Tell me if it hurts, okay?" Saying this, Shiroyuri ran into the bedroom and grabbed an eye mask. This wasn't a reference prop; as a manga artist who often pulled all-nighters, an eye mask was essential for sleeping during the day.
Darkness enveloped her vision. Just like how you sometimes feel a ghost with big breasts behind you when you close your eyes to sleep, losing her sight made Orie's brain focus on her other senses. Orie felt her skin being licked by their gaze.
Bondage and blindfolding—Orie, who had read countless doujinshi, instantly conjured up numerous plays. How will Shiroyuri have Ito-sensei manipulate her? Putting herself in the perspective of a doujinshi heroine she had once read, Orie felt her breathing quicken and become shallow and hot.
And Shiroyuri... after tying up Orie, she was trapped. Everything she said—about already having the script ready, just needing the storyboards, and being able to draw the storyboards immediately after Orie completed the play—was all a lie. Before trying to draw each time, all she could think of was Rin Ito's image. After masturbating a few times and feeling tired, she would rest. A script? What's that? I don't know. Although after seeing Orie's timid shyness and the contrast with the sexy lingerie, Shiroyuri decided to draw a contrasting heroine for her new doujinshi. If she had a day, or even a few hours, she could probably come up with a decent script and a few plays, but now, with only the time it took for the bondage, Shiroyuri couldn't quickly come up with a script, and she had to draw the storyboards immediately after the play was over. If she can't draw them... Orie will definitely turn into a demon like Misaki Satō and tear her apart!
So... "Ito-sensei, if you were to draw a contrasting heroine, how would you draw it?" A guilty Shiroyuri added, "It's not that I haven't thought of a script, I... I just want to hear Ito-sensei's opinion!"
When Orie heard Shiroyuri's words, her face twitched... It's true! An artist's mouth is a liar's mouth! All the promises about submitting on time and progress reports are lies! The truth is that they've been slacking off before the deadline! They won't lift a pen until the very last moment! Ugh... if only every manga artist was as punctual as Ito-sensei. This was a wish as impossible as world peace. Although Orie knew Shiroyuri had probably done nothing, she was at least asking Rin Ito for help, hoping he could help her get past this deadline. Next time... next time I'll definitely ask Satō-san for advice on turning into a demon!!!!!
"A contrasting heroine, huh..." Rin Ito glanced at Eiri, a slight smile playing on his lips. The moment their eyes met, Eiri nervously looked away. If they were talking about contrast, the revelation of Eiri's identity would be the biggest contrast of all. Rin Ito chuckled and, after a little thought, spoke.
"For example, the heroine is a plain-looking girl at school who always wears glasses, sits in the last row, and is always looking down and reading a book."
"Mhm mhm mhm." Shiroyuri nodded repeatedly, and Rin Ito continued. "The hero, through a chance encounter, sees that the heroine is wearing suggestive lingerie under her old-fashioned long skirt. When he accidentally passes by her desk, he realizes that the book she's reading is a sexy doujinshi... At this point, the storyboard cuts to the heroine's manga. Shiroyuri, you can use the content from your own manga here."
"Just as the hero is shocked, the heroine turns her face and stares at the hero through her reflective glasses, then says, 'You saw it, didn't you?'" Rin Ito described his script in detail, even giving Shiroyuri some simple storyboards. The bound Orie also breathed a sigh of relief... As expected of Ito-sensei, who often hosts multi-person parties. He can come up with all sorts of lewd storyboards effortlessly. With Ito-sensei here, she doesn't have to worry this time.
"And the rest is a standard doujinshi development. The two engage in various plays and end up together. You can highlight one or two plays like exhibitionism play or public exposure play and depict the rest in small scenes... For example, they sit together on a long bench, sharing earphones, and the four corners of the frame show four different plays."
"Finally, on the last page of the doujinshi, the heroine smiles and pulls her collar slightly to the side with one hand, revealing a faint mark from the bondage on her collarbone, while extending a hand to give the hero a remote control."
"Shiroyuri-sensei! C-can you draw that!?" Marin said excitedly after listening. A pure-love BDSM story set in a school... This is right up Marin's alley.
"Besides that, I've thought of another script." Rin Ito glanced at Eiri. Now that the serious script was done, it was time for some non-serious ones. "The first shot is of an art exhibition, and the next shot is of the heroine in a formal dress. Basically, it gives a very high-society feeling."
Hearing Rin Ito say this, Eiri immediately sat up straight, her face visibly flushing. "Then the scene changes. The heroine is wearing her school uniform, eating lunch with friends at school with a completely elegant, rich-girl demeanor."
"Then the brightness of the previous scene darkens. In a dimly lit room, the heroine sits in front of a computer screen, drawing, but what she's drawing isn't the art for the exhibition, but... doujinshi!" Rin Ito struggled to suppress his laughter, tears welling up in his eyes. He took a deep breath, forcibly holding back his amusement, and continued. "That's right. The heroine is a painter who can hold art exhibitions in public and is a rich girl from an affluent family, but secretly she's a doujinshi artist, and the content of her doujinshi is quite terrible! Things like BDSM and degradation are all included. Oh, right... just like Eiri Kashiwagi."
"!!!!!" Eiri's body instantly froze. Marin, noticing Eiri's strange reaction, gently poked her.
"Eiri?"
"Huh? I'm... I'm fine." Eiri, regaining her composure, quickly forced a stiff smile.
As for Shiroyuri, she was staring intently at Rin Ito... This script must have been conceived by him on the spot. I'm the only female artist here. The heroine being a doujinshi artist... could it be that the heroine he's talking about is me!? Is he... is he conceiving a script with me as the heroine!? Shiroyuri's heart trembled. Could this be the unique way doujinshi artists confess their feelings? Is Ito-sensei indirectly confessing to me?
However... the setting in the manga is that the heroine draws heavy-themed BDSM and degradation doujinshi, like Eiri Kashiwagi, while I draw pure-love BDSM. Wait! I just said the heroine should have a strong contrast. Hmm... this is to emphasize the contrast between the heroine as a rich girl who holds art exhibitions and a doujinshi artist. It's like pairing a saint with a goblin, a rich girl with a homeless man, or a loli with an old man. He just slightly changed the setting to create a contrast. Yes! It must be like this! I'm being treated as the heroine by Ito-sensei~
Ehehe~
