Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Reawakened Hinata
Feels impossible!
And from Tachikawa's perspective, since Hikari suddenly appeared here at this time, it's clear that he must have some kind of intention.
Probably not with good intentions.
Although Tachikawa was highly vigilant in his heart, he still tested the waters by shouting at Hikari, "Hikari, this has nothing to do with you. Are you done peeing? If you're done, get out of here."
Hearing Tachikawa's words, Hikari was annoyed and replied with a harsh tone,"I'm peeing, and what does that have to do with you?"
"I'm not done yet. You guys do what you have to do. Why rush me?"
Hearing Hikari's blunt tone, Tachikawa felt a surge of anger.
But he didn't want unnecessary complications.
Glancing at Sakuramiya Hinata, who seemed a bit dazed, and then at Hikari, who had a strange smile on his face, Tachikawa felt uneasy.
Tachikawa immediately threatened Sakuramiya Hinata,"Sakuramiya, Hikari calls you Senior Hinata. He's a junior in your club, right?"
"Now, quickly tell him to leave. Otherwise, I'll expose those photos of you and your sister kissing."
Hearing Tachikawa's threat, Sakuramiya Hinata panicked instantly.
Her brain seemed to short-circuit, and she actually did what Tachikawa said, "Hikari-kun, you should leave first. I can handle this myself."
Hearing Sakuramiya Hinata's words, whether due to sheer stupidity or mental confusion, Hikari rolled his eyes and retorted impatiently,"Hey, Senior Hinata. I call you senior out of respect because you joined the archery club earlier than me."
"But are you seriously trying to control me while I'm just peeing?"
"I'm not even peeing on you two. Can you be quiet? Stop rushing me. I have frequent urination issues."
Realizing how utterly clueless Sakuramiya Hinata was to let herself be blackmailed over a few kissing photos, Hikari couldn't even be bothered with her anymore.
Looking at Hikari, who was completely unaffected, Sakuramiya Hinata felt helpless and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Tachikawa was even more infuriated, feeling an urge to punch Hikari directly.
Seeing Sakuramiya Hinata unable to control Hikari, and looking at Hikari standing there with that strange smirk, Tachikawa finally snapped, "Fine! In that case, I'll leave."
As Tachikawa turned to leave, Sakuramiya Hinata panicked and quickly called out,"Wait! You can't go!"
"If you leave like this, does that mean you'll expose my and my sister's relationship?"
Hearing Sakuramiya Hinata's cry, Tachikawa, as if expecting this, stopped and turned back with a cold smirk,"Of course!"
"Haha, I initially wanted to discuss this matter with you calmly, Sakuramiya."
"That's why I only called you here. But I didn't expect you to bring someone else."
"Let me tell you, I'm very angry now."
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Right now, immediately, let me have my way with you once."
"If you agree, I'll promise not to expose these photos. Otherwise, prepare for the whole school to find out about you and your sister's scandal."
Tachikawa was genuinely furious at this point, so he didn't bother hiding his intentions anymore, openly expressing his desire for Sakuramiya Hinata.
Even when faced with such an obvious threat, Sakuramiya Hinata didn't immediately refute him.
Instead, she lowered her head slightly, remaining silent.
Seeing her hesitant and conflicted expression, it was clear she was terrified of Tachikawa exposing her relationship with her sister, Sakuramiya Saya.
Even though the idea of being touched by Tachikawa repulsed her physically, she was afraid that the exposure of this matter would negatively impact her sister.
At the same time, she feared Tachikawa might then target her sister with further threats.
Thus, she began wondering whether sacrificing herself might resolve the situation.
In her mind, she never considered what would happen if Tachikawa continued threatening her afterward or used even more leverage against her.
She didn't even think about calling the police.
All she could think about was whether she should sacrifice herself or let him expose everything.
Watching her trembling petite figure, Tachikawa couldn't resist any longer.
Even though Hikari's sudden appearance disrupted his plans entirely, he couldn't bear to give up now that he was so close to success.
Besides, Hikari had been idly observing and didn't seem intent on intervening.
Although Tachikawa still didn't fully understand Hikari's motives, he assumed Hikari must be a coward.
Otherwise, any normal person would have already stepped in to play the hero.
Thinking this, Tachikawa sneered at Hikari,"Hey, kid, you're Hikari, right?"
"Hikari-kun, I'll give you a chance. If you're interested in this senior of yours, you can join me."
"But let me warn you, whether you join or not, don't meddle in my business."
Tachikawa's ultimate goal was to taint the pure Sakuramiya sisters, leaving scars they'd never forget.
So he didn't mind sharing his "prey."
What he feared was Hikari stepping in to thwart his plans.
"You... You stay away from me." Sakuramiya Hinata cried out weakly as Tachikawa approached her.
Tachikawa smirked coldly. "If you don't want your and your sister's secret exposed, then don't resist. You know what'll happen otherwise."
Hearing Tachikawa's words, Sakuramiya Hinata, who had intended to pick up a wooden stick to defend herself, suddenly froze in panic, standing there helplessly, genuinely afraid to fight back.
Watching Sakuramiya Hinata cower under his threats, Tachikawa could no longer restrain himself.
With his eyes slightly red, he let out a low growl and lunged toward her.
However, before he could reach her, a firm and unyielding arm blocked his path.
Despite the full force of his charge, that arm, though made of flesh and blood, felt as immovable as steel.
Not only did it stop Tachikawa, but the recoil sent him sprawling to the ground.
Even though he was charging forward with the full momentum of his entire body, that arm made of flesh and blood seemed as if it were forged from steel—indestructible.
Not only did it remain motionless in the face of Tachikawa's lunge, but it even sent him rebounding onto the ground.
Tachikawa, who had fallen hard on his rear, was momentarily stunned before glaring furiously at Hikari, who had suddenly appeared in front of him and extended an arm to block him.
He angrily questioned, "What are you doing? You, what the hell are you trying to do?"
Initially, Tachikawa thought that Hikari was either a cowardly bystander or some pervert who wanted to watch him force himself on Sakuramiya Hinata.
However, contrary to expectations, Hikari suddenly made a move.
Upon hearing Tachikawa's question, Hikari smiled and cheerfully explained, "What am I doing? Sakuramiya Hinata is a senior I highly respect in the club. The question is, what are you trying to do?"
"I can't stand seeing anyone forcing women against their will to do something they don't want."
"So I didn't care about all the nonsense you just spewed, but if you want to force yourself on my most respected senior Hinata, then I, Hikari, cannot sit idly by."
"Unless, of course, it's consensual."
Hearing Hikari's words, Tachikawa was momentarily speechless.
'Damn it, earlier Sakuramiya Hinata told you to leave, and you said you'd pee in her mouth.'
'And now she's suddenly your most respected senior?'
'Is this guy professionally trained in Opera face-changing?'
Looking at Hikari towering above him, his face wearing a faintly mocking smile, Tachikawa suddenly understood.
The other guy was dead set on interfering—he wasn't going to let him succeed.
"You bastard... How dare you interfere with my business? You're refusing the toast only to drink the penalty wine?"
Enraged, Tachikawa jumped to his feet and charged at Hikari with his fists raised.
BANG!
Hikari casually threw a punch, and Tachikawa was knocked to the ground again.
Even a muscular brute like Oga had been easily beaten by Hikari, so a weakling like Tachikawa—whose strength only lay in blackmail and threats—was no match for him. Hikari could have dealt with him with a single finger.
So when Tachikawa, weak as could be, lay motionless on the ground, Hikari didn't bother to press the attack.
Clutching his bleeding nose, Tachikawa wobbled as he got back on his feet.
He still had some brains left, and after being blasted with one punch by Hikari, he realized he was no match for him.
For someone who had come up with the idea to threaten the Sakuramiya sisters, Tachikawa wasn't entirely stupid.
He didn't even dare to meet Hikari's gaze anymore, fearing he'd get beaten again.
Instead, he turned his head toward Sakuramiya Hinata, his tone furious as he commanded her, "Hey, Sakuramiya Hinata, you! Do you really want me to release those photos of you and your sister kissing?"
Sakuramiya Hinata shouted, "OF COURSE I DON'T!"
Tachikawa sneered, "Then come over here willingly and do it with me. And say that all of this is of your own free will."
Although this wasn't part of his original plan, under Hikari's interference, Tachikawa had to improvise and follow Hikari's "rules."
After all, he couldn't defeat Hikari.
Tachikawa's original plan was to forcefully defile Sakuramiya Hinata.
Now, he had to change tactics and act passively.
But he believed that his threats against Sakuramiya Hinata were still effective.
He had observed the personalities of the Sakuramiya sisters, knowing that while Hinata appeared cold and aloof on the surface, she was timid and indecisive deep down.
As long as he could have her once, he could use this incident to continue threatening her, gradually breaking her down completely.
And just as Tachikawa had thought.
After he spoke, Sakuramiya Hinata frowned deeply, remaining silent and visibly conflicted.
She even seemed to be seriously considering whether she should voluntarily go over and have relations with Tachikawa.
Seeing this, Hikari folded his arms, the corners of his mouth curling up as he watched the two with interest.
When he saw that Sakuramiya Hinata remained silent for a long time and stood frozen in place, Tachikawa couldn't hold back any longer. He urged again, "Hurry up and say you're doing it willingly! Hurry and say it!"
"NO! I'M NOT! I'M NOT WILLING! I REFUSE!"
Sakuramiya Hinata suddenly shouted loudly.
Her outburst startled Tachikawa.
Her previously pure and beautiful face was now slightly contorted with intense emotions.
In truth, upon hearing Tachikawa's persistent demands for her to say she was willingly engaging with him, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't hold back any longer.
The emotions she had bottled up completely erupted.
Though she was indecisive and timid by nature, and although she'd be willing to sacrifice for her sister Sakuramiya Saya, the mere thought of being touched by someone like Tachikawa repulsed her to her core.
If Tachikawa had caught her off guard with sudden coercion, she might have caved in her confusion.
