In Hentai World as Mira Tsubakihara's Relative

Hearing these words, Hinata Sakuramiya finally snapped out of her intense shock.

"Oh, oh! You're right!"

As she spoke, Hinata Sakuramiya ran toward Tachikawa, who was already lying on the ground and struggling to get up.

At this point, although Tachikawa could no longer run, he was still able to struggle to his feet. If it had been a normal arrow, Tachikawa wouldn't have been able to stand at all.

However, because the Kyudo Club's arrows were practice arrows, their arrowheads were far less sharp than regular ones, and they didn't have barbs. As a result, the damage was relatively mild.

Thus, despite the intense pain in his calf, Tachikawa managed to stand up slowly.

However, due to the pain, it was impossible for him to run anymore.

Nor could he stop Hinata Sakuramiya, who was now rushing to retrieve the photos.

Hinata quickly ran to Tachikawa's side.

First, she gave him a fierce glare.

Then she picked up the photos and other items from the ground and turned to run back toward Hikari.

"I got the photos!" Hinata Sakuramiya cheerfully waved the photos in her hand and shouted to Hikari.

Hearing her words and seeing the photos taken from him, Tachikawa covered his leg wound and cast a resentful glance at Hikari.

However, he dared not utter any threats and simply limped away from the woods.

After returning to Hikari's side, Hinata immediately tore the photos to shreds, stuffed them into her pocket, and prepared to burn them later.

After finishing this, Hinata turned to look at Hikari with excitement.

She exclaimed in an appreciative tone, "Hikari-kun, your shot just now was amazing. If Tachikawa had escaped, it would have been a disaster."

"And really, thank you so much for what you did today."

"If it weren't for you, I might have truly been threatened and harmed by Tachikawa today."

Facing the gratitude of the pure and beautiful Hinata Sakuramiya, Hikari waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, "It was nothing. I just happened to be here to, uh, relieve myself and stepped in by chance."

Hearing Hikari's words, Hinata smiled and said, "Hikari-kun, your archery skills are truly amazing. It's not something that can be achieved casually. My sister and I have been practicing archery for years, but we probably can't shoot as accurately as you."

"You must have learned archery a long time ago, and for quite a while, right?"

"Oh, I remember now. The other day when you joined the Kyudo Club, I noticed that there were suddenly three arrows right in the bullseye on the target I usually use. At the time, I wondered if it was you."

"Seeing you today, it turns out those three bullseye shots really were yours, Hikari-kun! Just as I thought. I was right about you."

With an expression of confidence, Hinata Sakuramiya confidently declared to Hikari.

Hearing Hinata's words, Hikari couldn't help but laugh.

Hinata Sakuramiya was quite an amusing person. If she really believed in him that much, she would have asked him to help shoot earlier.

Judging from her previous behavior, she clearly viewed him as a newcomer to archery.

As for those three bullseye arrows he shot earlier, it was obvious that the Sakuramiya sisters hadn't mentioned them before because they probably assumed they were shot by someone else.

This didn't surprise Hikari at all.

He knew the Sakuramiya sisters had always disliked and looked down on men. Their previous attitude toward him had also been cold and distant.

But since Hikari had no interest in the Sakuramiya sisters in the first place, he didn't care about their opinions of him.

However, considering how Hinata Sakuramiya, who had previously treated him so coldly, was now acting like a completely different person, Hikari couldn't help but tease her to see her reaction.

He smiled and said, "I guess I helped you sisters out a lot today, right, Hinata-senpai? How are you planning to thank me?"

"Teach you archery..." Hearing Hikari's words, Hinata instinctively wanted to respond, but she quickly realized she couldn't possibly teach him anything with her skill level.

Moreover, seeing Hikari's half-smiling expression, Hinata's face changed slightly. She felt something was off and suddenly had a lot of bad thoughts.

Perhaps due to preconceived notions and past stereotypes, Hinata and her sister Saya had always believed men were unpleasant and troublesome.

Combined with the fact that men like Tachikawa often harbored ill intentions toward them because of their beauty, she instinctively associated Hikari's words with bad intentions.

Looking at Hikari's half-smile, Hinata suddenly "understood" what he wanted as gratitude.

Even though she wasn't entirely willing, she thought that compared to someone as creepy as Tachikawa, someone handsome like Hikari was far more acceptable.

Blushing slightly, Hinata forced herself to suppress her embarrassment and frustration as she quickly approached Hikari.

Hikari caught a faint fragrance in the air and was stunned to see Hinata Sakuramiya suddenly hug him lightly.

She then puckered her lips, and her soft lips pressed against his for a fleeting moment.

Before Hikari could react, the sensation on his lips was gone.

Hinata, with her face flushed, looked at him coldly and said in a detached tone, "Hikari-kun, is this kind of gratitude enough?"

Hinata Sakuramiya believed she had figured out Hikari's thoughts. To her, Hikari wanted something similar to what Tachikawa desired—her youthful body.

'Men are all the same, aren't they?'

Thinking this, a trace of disdain flashed in Hinata's eyes.

Hikari, bewildered by her sudden actions and cold words, was left speechless.

What was she implying? Did she seriously think he was asking for a physical "reward"?

'What kind of thought process is this? Always resorting to using the body for transactions and debts. Is this why the two sisters succumbed so easily to the threat of that bull-headed guy?'

Hikari was a bit uncertain.

"What do you mean?" Hikari looked at Sakuramiya Hinata, who now had a cold expression, with even a trace of disgust in her eyes, and said helplessly.

Hikari was baffled, unable to comprehend Hinata's strange way of thinking, and could only speak in exasperation.

However, Hinata misunderstood Hikari's exasperated question as something entirely different.

She thought Hikari was expressing dissatisfaction with only one kiss as compensation.

'Fine then. A kiss is a kiss. Whether once or twice, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my first kiss was already given to Sister Saya.'

With this in mind, Sakuramiya Hinata leaned toward Hikari again and planted another kiss on his lips.

After the kiss, Hinata pulled a tissue from her pocket, wiped her mouth, and said unhappily, "Here, your thanks. Was it satisfying?"

"How does it feel to kiss the vice president of the Archery Club, a beautiful girl like me, twice? Pretty good, huh?"

"Hikari-kun, are you secretly watching me like Tachikawa does? I heard guys always fantasize about girls' bodies. Are you like Tachikawa, wanting to touch my body all along?"

"But I can only be intimate with my sister. I am grateful for your help today, but the most I can give you is one kiss."

"Of course, if two aren't enough, I can kiss you again."

"Though it's kind of gross, just think of it as my way of repaying you for your help today."

"After all, I'm not someone who doesn't repay kindness."

"And, you know about my taboo relationship with my sister. I've never kissed a boy before, but I'm willing to give you my first kiss with a boy. I just hope you won't spread this around."

After speaking, Hinata endured her disgust and moved her lips toward Hikari's face again.

She intended to end today's unpleasant repayment with this one last kiss.

However, this time, she didn't achieve her goal of landing the kiss on Hikari's lips.

Just as she leaned halfway in, Hikari blocked her with his hand.

Seeing Hikari's arm between them, Hinata froze slightly.

Then, she noticed Hikari staring at her with an indifferent expression.

Hinata was about to speak, but Hikari spoke first.

With a slight flick of his arm, Hikari pushed Hinata away, causing her to stumble several steps backward.

In a cold tone, he said, "Senior Hinata, Vice President of the Archery Club, you are indeed pretty, but do you really think you're so beautiful that every man who sees you wants to sleep with you?"

"Are you perhaps overestimating your own charm?"

"Didn't I make myself clear? I was just passing by and couldn't stand Tachikawa's actions. Don't lump me together with people like him."

"The gratitude I need is simply a word of thanks. Understand?"

"Also, I have no interest in you, Senior Hinata. A kind reminder: it's better not to be so self-absorbed." [T/N: 🗿KOed]

"Of course, you're free to think whatever you want. I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Hikari turned and left without hesitation.

He finally understood why the Sakuramiya sisters in the original story were so easily threatened by Tachikawa, the bull-headed guy. Their thinking was seriously flawed.

This misunderstanding was exasperating.

But Hinata hadn't physically harmed him or caused him any loss.

It wouldn't be reasonable to beat her up just because her thinking was bizarre.

After all, Hikari was mainly here for the pure love points and to defeat the bull-headed guy. He didn't want to think too much about it and walked out of the grove without looking back.

Hearing Hikari's words, Hinata initially remained skeptical.

Even as she watched him walk away, she wondered if Hikari was employing some sort of reverse psychology.

After all, as Tachikawa had mentioned before, Hinata was aware of her own charm and how popular she was with boys. It was hard for her to believe that Hikari truly wasn't interested in her.

But seeing Hikari walking further away, almost leaving the grove, she finally came back to her senses a little.

Still frowning suspiciously, Hinata hurriedly tried to catch up.

However, she was too slow to keep up with Hikari.

Meanwhile, Hikari, feeling exasperated, quickly exited the grove.

As soon as he stepped out, he planned to head straight back to class.

What Hikari didn't expect was—

The moment he left the grove, he saw five beautiful girls gathered at the entrance, all staring at him.

These five girls, each stunning in her own way, were none other than Natsuha Shinomiya, the three gyaru girls, and Akane Nanao, who hadn't managed to give him the milk tea earlier.

As soon as Hikari appeared, the five girls briskly walked toward him.

Looking at them, Hikari asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to go back to class? Why are you still here?"

Natsuha, who had a foundation in aikido and an improved physique, was the first to approach Hikari. She hugged his arm and rubbed her softness against it while coyly saying:

"I just want to stay with Hikari-kun, so I waited for you to come out so we could return to class together."

Not to be outdone, Reina grabbed his other arm and said, "Reina was waiting for you too."

Yukina pressed against Hikari's back and added, "Yukina was also waiting for Hikari-kun."

Ruri, however, didn't cling to him but stood in front of him, lowering her gaze toward his crotch.

Swinging her silver pigtails, she shyly asked, "Hikari-kun, did you finish peeing? If not, you can pee on Ruri's…"

Before she could finish her sentence, three hands simultaneously covered her mouth.

"Shut up!"

Natsuha, Reina, and Yukina all scolded her in unison.

This petite, pure-looking silver-haired girl was far too perverted. They didn't want Hikari to misunderstand them as being like her, so they refused to let her finish.

After struggling to free herself from their hands, Ruri was suddenly bumped into and spun around twice like a top, her twin tails swinging comically like a helicopter.

The culprit, Akane Nanao, didn't apologize but quickly rushed to Hikari's side. With a red face and trembling hands, she offered him a cup of milk tea, stammering, "Um… Hikari-kun! I want to thank you."

"I've realized my feelings. I… I want to give you this milk tea."

Originally, Akane had planned to confess her feelings to Hikari today.

But with Natsuhana and the others around, and seeing Hikari's handsome face, she became too shy to proceed.
