She wanted to compromise because she didn't want to affect her sister's college entrance exams.
Compromise is either 0 times or countless times.
So stupid, she must be the heroine of some hentai! Although Ito didn't know much about underworld hentai in his previous life, he was sure she was a hentai heroine! If he hadn't happened to pass by today, Hinata, and even her sister, would definitely have become 'hot weapons.'
"It would be fine if he didn't have backups, but he's already printed the photos, so I'm sure he has backups."
"Then what should we do?"
Hinata looked at Ito as if grasping at a straw. Ito sighed helplessly. If it were online, Ito would definitely say to let go of the desire to help and respect others' destinies. But in reality, facing such a situation firsthand, Ito couldn't let go of the desire to help and respect others' destinies.
"First, you need to confirm whether you and your sister have done anything more intimate than kissing cheeks at school." Although he had a headache, Ito still tried his best to find a solution for her.
"No, I'm sure we haven't." Hinata shook her head repeatedly, "Not at school, not at home."
"That's good. How do you feel about your sister? Do you only see her as a sister, or as someone you love?" Ito continued to ask.
"I… I don't know."
It wasn't that Hinata didn't want to say, but that Hinata truly didn't know. Hinata's father and Saya's mother remarried, making them sisters. Because both of them had experienced the feeling of losing a loved one, they both treated each other as one of the most important people, as if to fill a void. Although they weren't biological sisters, their bond was stronger than that of biological sisters. They did everything together. Was it pure familial affection? Or was it love similar to that between a man and a woman? Hinata didn't know.
"Alright."
If Hinata wasn't lying, the worst-case scenario was that the photos would be made public, leading to some rumors. The key now was how to prevent him from making the photos public.
The first method was to destroy all backups, but who knew how many backups he had saved? That was impossible. The second method was… if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem. He just finished him off.
But this isn't the world of GTA, where you commit a crime and then clear your wanted level. Friends who kill often know that killing is easy, but disposing of the body is hard. Ito was just an ordinary manga artist, not some special forces soldier returning to the city. Ito could kill a chicken, but killing a person… tsk tsk tsk. And why kill someone for a girl he just met?
However... While killing wasn't an option, getting rid of the Seaweed Head who caused the problem was indeed a good idea. Ito couldn't solve it, but someone else could.
Hana, the future heir of the Genji family, could easily deal with that Seaweed Head with the Genji family's power, whether it was making him leave permanently or making him disappear forever. However, if Ito were to ask Hana for help... he probably wouldn't owe a favor, but there would just be a few more hats on Aoi's head. Hiss... it seemed he had quite the potential for being a kept man?
Speaking of which, the System Daughter seemed to have said that there would be quite a few rich women around him in the future.
Just as Ito was pondering how to solve the problem, Mashiro and the others appeared at the shop entrance, and then Aoi trotted over to Ito's side.
"Hinata-senpai? Why are you here? Do you know him?"
"Eh?" Hinata's gaze went back and forth between Ito and Aoi, "You two...?"
"He's my boyfriend. How do you two know each other?" Aoi blinked, her puzzled gaze moving back and forth between Hinata and Ito.
The Camera System only activated during intimate contact. Although Aoi could confirm that Ito and Hinata hadn't had intimate contact, Aoi wasn't sure how they knew each other.
As for how Aoi knew Hinata, it was simple: Aoi was a member of the student council and needed to interact with various clubs. Plus, Aoi's cheerful personality meant she had friends in various clubs, and Hinata's older sister and Hinata herself were the president and vice-president of the Womens Archery Club.
"This..." Hinata hesitated slightly, "I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else."
"Mhm mhm mhm." Aoi nodded repeatedly, and then the girls pulled up chairs and sat around. Except for Mashiro, who was a bit confused, Aoi, Rika, and Nanami all looked like they were ready for some gossip.
"Actually, I only just met him not long ago..." Hinata slowly recounted everything that had happened, including being threatened.
After listening, Aoi also thought of asking Hana for help. At most, Ito would just have to accompany her for one night, it was no big deal. "If he hadn't helped me, I might be..." Hinata paused, then cautiously looked at Aoi.
Facing Hinata's puzzled gaze, Aoi tilted her head, "What's wrong?"
"That... Aoi, can... can you lend him to me?"
"Ah? Lend him to you for what?"
"It's just... it's just..." Hinata was a bit embarrassed and avoided Aoi's gaze, "It's just to lend him to me... to have him temporarily be my boyfriend, so that even if the photos are published, it won't matter and won't affect my sister."
Hinata had thought of this method ever since she heard that Ito was Aoi's boyfriend. If the photos spread, rumors of Hinata and Saya being yuri would appear, but if she had a boyfriend before the photos spread, how would he deal with it? Moreover... besides this layer, there was another layer Hinata hadn't told them.
Hinata wanted to know what feelings her sister Saya harbored for her. Did she simply see her as a younger sister? Or did she see her as someone she liked? Hinata wanted to know. If her sister Saya only saw her as a younger sister, she would definitely gossip and give her blessings, but if her sister Saya saw her as someone she liked... Hinata didn't know what to do. In any case, she would test Saya-nee first.
Hinata held her breath and looked at Aoi with anticipation. She knew such a request was excessive, but Hinata had no other options. Although many boys had confessed to her, she certainly couldn't let those people... if she let those people come, other strange rumors might appear later.
"This..."
Aoi was stunned. The last time she lent him to Kamino Megumi, now Kamino Megumi was bragging to the girls in class about having a boyfriend with a very large golden... who knew what would happen this time. To be fair, it was fine if it was like Hana, having intimate contact with Ito in secret, at least she was still his girlfriend on the surface!
"Please~~~" Hinata clasped her hands together, "I promise I won't do anything out of line!!!!"
"This... alright." Aoi reluctantly agreed. It wasn't that Aoi had come to a realization, but that the System had issued a task, and the reward was very generous! Moreover, in Aoi's opinion, Hinata and her sister Saya seemed to have something going on. So... lending him to her should be fine, right?
