"Huh?"
Kobayashi Ayaka scrutinized the three boys walking towards her from head to toe.
Then she came to a conclusion: Ugh, they're so ugly.
She never denied being someone who judges by appearance, and she particularly emphasized her high standards for the looks of the opposite sex.
The three individuals who suddenly appeared at this moment were truly more abstract-looking than the last.
Actually, as long as they weren't good-looking, Kobayashi Ayaka wouldn't be disgusted, at most just dislike them.
But these three…
Take the leader, the guy with the yellow hair, for example; his face looked like a wild donkey baring its teeth, and he didn't even bother to trim his nose hair.
When Kobayashi Ayaka glanced at him, she was truly nauseated.
But the good news was that Kobayashi Ayaka was already tall, not yielding much even compared to boys.
So she quickly stood up, and then she couldn't see the yellow-haired guy's nostrils anymore.
Then she saw the top of the head of the person next to the yellow-haired guy.
His hair was quite thick, but he was a bit bald.
Kobayashi Ayaka grimaced.
However, the yellow-haired guy, Oshika Masaru, had a completely opposite thought to Kobayashi Ayaka's.
Another pretty girl.
She was no worse than Reina-chan, each having her own merits and flaws, and even slightly better in terms of leg length.
The only flaw was that she was wearing long pants; if she were wearing a long skirt and bare feet, what would happen then?
Oshika Masaru kept gulping, his eyes practically falling onto Kobayashi Ayaka, not noticing Kobayashi Ayaka's furrowed brows at all.
But soon, he touched his pocket, where a few thousand-yen bills were hidden.
That was just now,
Oshika Masaru's eyes looked at Hachisuka Hidemichi, who was jogging over next to him; this was what he had given him.
This young master from the capital was quite generous, all for the purpose of having Oshika Masaru harass Kobayashi Ayaka, and then cooperate with him in a play.
"Who are you?"
Kurashiki Reina walked over, her expression displeased.
It was true that Kobayashi Ayaka was her Senior at school, but in the modeling industry, she was the one who came first.
This was Kobayashi Ayaka's first outdoor shoot, and she encountered such people; she felt that with the Staff not around, it was necessary for her, as a Senior, to step forward and stop them.
...Oh, it's not that the Staff weren't around; at least a Photographer remained.
But the role of this fat Photographer, while not a big help, was better than nothing.
When these delinquents walked over, he immediately moved Kobayashi Ayaka and Kurashiki Reina in front of him, then threatened them with trembling eyes, emphasizing his utter uselessness.
Kurashiki Reina's icy gaze was particularly unfriendly.
If it were a woman, Oshika Masaru, a professional delinquent with "hundred-man slayer" experience, wouldn't be afraid of her, and might even let her taste the fire of a gun.
But the key was that she had someone above her.
Oshika Masaru could only look at Hachisuka Hidemichi, who was serving as the director, for help. "Boss, what should we do next?"
Hachisuka Hidemichi smiled slightly and stood in front of Kurashiki Reina.
Now, it was his time to shine.
"Hey, you guys, stop harassing Miss Ayaka here!"
He pointed at Oshika Masaru, never having felt so righteous before.
Hachisuka Hidemichi had previously done research: with the buff of 'hero saving the beauty,' seventy-eight percent of beauties would develop a favorable impression of that hero. This was the so-called suspension bridge effect.
Therefore, he didn't blame Oshika Masaru for peeking at Reina and speaking rudely to her.
Instead, he gave them a sum of money and told them to target Kobayashi Ayaka instead.
He wondered, if he bravely saved Kobayashi Ayaka like this, why wouldn't she develop a favorable impression of him? Once she did, he could toy with her feelings.
Not only could he humiliate her physically, but he could also retaliate against Hayato, who had an ambiguous relationship with her. It was like a Japan person looking in a mirror, a double victory.
Furthermore, although he was standing up for Kobayashi Ayaka, he was also in front of Reina, which could make Reina admire his masculinity and accelerate their bedroom activities—the 'ri' here is a verb.
This was like a Japan person eating Sichuan peppercorns; it was numbing.
"Huh? What are you?! How dare you ruin my good business?!" Oshika Masaru glared at Hachisuka Hidemichi furiously.
The lines were still a bit exaggerated, but considering his good acting and In place emotions, there shouldn't be any mistakes.
Hachisuka Hidemichi narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing:
"Miss Ayaka is my friend! If you want to harass her, you'll have to go through me first!"
"Haha! You're quite arrogant, aren't you? I'll show you who runs Yaso Inaba!"
Oshika Masaru rolled up his sleeves and threw a punch at Hachisuka Hidemichi.
Though it was acting, Oshika Masaru's punch was naturally not heavy, and its speed was light and airy.
Honestly, even though it was a setup, Hachisuka Hidemichi was a big shot who mixed in Tokyo. Aside from the embarrassing outcomes of a few encounters with Hayato, he usually won more than he lost against opponents, and he didn't even put these high school delinquents in his eyes.
Even if Oshika Masaru's weak punch was thrown with all his might, Hachisuka Hidemichi could dodge it, let alone now when they were acting.
With a slight lean, he let Oshika Masaru's fist graze his chin, then delivered a punch to his cheek with a thud.
So painful!
A sour feeling immediately threatened to bring tears to Oshika Masaru's eyes, but thinking of the reward afterward, he endured it.
Hachisuka Hidemichi had not used his full strength.
