After calming Marin down, the shooting continued smoothly. "Alright, lift your skirt, remember, your expression should show strong reluctance, and your eyes should convey disdain. Got it?" Takashi lay on the ground, holding his camera, aiming the lens at Marin's face from a low upward angle. "Like this?" Marin's lips pouted downward, and when she looked down at Takashi, her eyes were filled with utter disdain, as if she were staring at a hopeless pervert. "Yes, yes, exactly that 'looking at trash' expression." Whether it was because he captured the perfect shot or for some other reason, Takashi suddenly became super excited and quickly pressed the shutter. "Alright, next is the ahegao." Takashi got up from the ground, stuck one hand in his pocket, and touched the remote for the headphones in his jacket, reminding her, "Are you ready?" Maybe Wakana and the others couldn't tell, but Marin understood perfectly — Takashi was signaling that he was about to activate the Vibrate-Vibrate Fruit's ability. It was their secret code, something that must never be discovered by Wakana. Thinking about how she was about to be forced into rolling her eyes in front of Wakana and complete strangers, Marin felt a mix of nervousness, embarrassment, and a faint excitement. "Come on, let's do it." Marin took a deep breath, then closed her eyes, putting on a look of resolved sacrifice — "Come at me, beast!" — making Takashi feel like some kind of depraved villain. Takashi shook his head, tossing aside those chaotic thoughts, and then activated the Vibrate-Vibrate Fruit's ability, triggering a localized intense tremor. Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz— "Ah!!!" No matter how much mental preparation Marin made, this kind of thing wasn't something she could control. Her body was much more honest than her mind. The moment Takashi activated his ability, Marin's mind went blank, and she couldn't help but let out a moan. All the strength drained from her body in an instant, and she collapsed to the ground like a pile of soft, melted clay. Her long, slender legs clamped tightly together, trembling slightly. 'This girl... just how sensitive is her body?!' Takashi couldn't help but tug at the corner of his mouth as he watched her feet turn inward into a pigeon-toed position. He had only dared to use Level 5 vibrations, afraid she wouldn't be able to take it — yet it was still too much for her. Could she be one of those legendary hypersensitive types? Takashi knelt on one knee and called out to her, "Come on, look at the camera!" Marin obediently lifted her face. At that moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes dazed, and her breathing was rapid — exactly the fiery, lust-drenched expression Takashi was aiming for. Click, click! Takashi eagerly captured the beautiful moment, pressing the shutter repeatedly. "Next, we..." Halfway through his sentence, Takashi paused. His eyes spun with mischief as he grinned evilly. 'What's he plotting now?' Marin's instincts screamed that Takashi was up to no good. She opened her mouth, about to protest, but before she could speak, Takashi called out loudly, "Gojo, can you come here for a second?" Wakana, not knowing what was happening, obediently walked over. "What's up, Kitahara-kun?" "Here, squat right here." Takashi stood up, took two steps back, and pointed at the spot where he had just been. "No way, no way, ughhh—" Marin immediately realized Takashi's sinister plan. Enduring the weird sensations from the Level 5 tremors, she tried to speak out. But before she could finish, Takashi made a small move that silenced her. He quietly turned the tremor from Level 5 up to Level 7. Feeling the even more intense vibrations, Marin could no longer utter a word. She bit down hard on her silver teeth as sweat rolled down her slender neck, dripping onto her chest. "Kitagawa-san, are you okay?" Wakana, seeing her looking so unsteady and distressed, wanted to reach out to help her, but hesitated halfway, worried that it would be too presumptuous. His outstretched hand hung awkwardly midair. 'Seriously?' Takashi was utterly speechless at Wakana. He realized that a lot of guys held such an overly romanticized filter toward girls they liked, making them overly timid in front of them. In truth, a girl's charm was mostly your own imagination. Those so-called goddesses and first loves were just illusions born from lust and self-doubt, wrapped in a halo of sanctity. "Kitagawa-san is probably just feeling overheated." Takashi casually made up an excuse, then changed the subject. "By the way, Gojo, do you know how to take photos?" "A little." "Good, then you take this shot." Takashi moved behind Marin and naturally placed his hands on her shoulders. The moment his palm touched Marin's soft, fragrant shoulders, her delicate body trembled. Takashi, seeing her head still lowered, gently reminded her, "Lift your head, look at the camera." "No!" Marin stubbornly kept her head down. She was terrified that if she raised her head, she would meet Wakana's eyes. Facing that face, it would no longer just be about embarrassment; there would be countless unspeakable, even shamefully indescribable emotions. Right now, Marin simply didn't have the courage to meet his gaze. Takashi tried coaxing her a few more times. Seeing she still refused to lift her head, he lost patience. Leaning down, he whispered, "If you don't raise your head, don't blame me for turning it up to Level 10. If something happens, I won't take responsibility." "Ughhh—" Feeling Takashi's breath brushing against her ear, Marin shrank her neck and trembled even harder. Even though she bit down hard, soft noises still leaked from her throat. Her dazed eyes started to lose focus. She felt like her brain was about to melt. Her body temperature was scarily high, yet she had the bizarre illusion that Takashi's hands were even hotter! After his threat, Takashi's tone softened again, coaxing, "Good girl, lift your head." Takashi lifted her chin with his fingers, and this time, Marin didn't resist. She obediently raised her head. Except her eyes rolled upward, staring at Takashi. Since Takashi was standing behind her, he didn't see her expression. He turned to Wakana and said, "Gojo, I'll leave it to you." Wakana, staring at the scene before him, was momentarily speechless. The boy had one hand resting casually on the girl's shoulder, the other lifting her chin, smiling roguishly. The girl, chin slightly raised as if begging for a kiss, eyes rolling upward, gazing at him with a dazed expression. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had become an unwilling participant in their "play." "Gojo?" Only when Takashi called him again did Wakana snap out of it. With a complicated expression, he lifted the camera and clicked! capturing the scene. ___ 20 Advanced Chapters available on p@ tr eon (.) com/HalflingFics Also, please point out my mistakes in the comment, thank you!
