"Nnn... Onii-chan, eat a cherry."
Ling glanced at Tendouji Sarina, who harbored a faint hostility towards her, released the red cherry she was biting in her mouth, and threw her arms around Hachiman to have him help stop the cherry slipping from her collarbone.
"Onii-chan, Lumine has a strawberry here too!"
Tendouji Sarina immediately followed suit, hurriedly placing a sweet, juicy, and brightly colored strawberry at her collarbone.
Her thought process was simple: Ling wasn't much older than her, so what Ling could do, she naturally could do too.
In the future, she was going to become one of Producer Brother's favorite children.
Her love for Producer Brother wouldn't lose to anyone.
"..."
Ling looked at Tendouji Sarina, who was eager for action and waiting for her to continue escalating the intensity of their competition. She rolled her eyes speechlessly, reached her small hand toward Hachiman, and slowly applied pressure.
She was at a loss with this Sarina too; she couldn't just keep increasing the explicitness, right?
If she really acted like Elio and Himemiya Elisa right in front of everyone, that would thoroughly confirm the fact that she advanced through pillow business, and it would be hard for her to get along with everyone in B Komachi later on.
Even though she was only the fifth member of B Komachi strictly internal to the Service Club, being too serious about it was meaningless. The more likely outcome was that Sarina wouldn't give up and would only force herself to imitate her and force it.
If she didn't know what Tendouji Sarina's situation was, she probably wouldn't have thought that this was only Tendouji Sarina's first time meeting Hachiman.
Yet this kind of thought, devoid of other interests, looking up to Hachiman and wanting to be doted on by him, closely resembled the once-homeless Shion.
This guy Hachiman hooked up with another considerate younger sister again...
"Just calling me Brother is fine, don't call me Onii-chan anymore."
Holding Lumine and Ling, having lowered his head to finish tasting the cherry, Hachiman slowly raised his head and smiled.
It seemed there was also the taboo bonus of cosplaying Yosuga no Sora; Sarina was even more excited and infatuated with him than before.
"Mhm! Lumine will listen to Brother!"
The thoroughly satisfied Tendouji Sarina naturally and obediently changed her address. She merely stroked the wetness on her collarbone gently, her small face still flushed red. But seeing Ling silently doing bad things underwater, the desire to compete rose again, and she too reached out her small hand.
How she wished her body was already fully recovered, then she could perform a real pillow business...
Resources and whatnot aside, as long as she could lay on the pillow it would be fine.
Only Ling silently curled her lips.
Heh, Brother sounds better than Onii-chan, right.
Watching the two guys cosplaying Ling and Lumine nestled left and right in Hachiman's embrace, calling out Onii-chan bite after bite, and each serving Hachiman with one hand, Arima Kana, who originally expected them to politely refuse, felt her mood becoming increasingly subtle.
Even though they didn't kiss his face like Hoshino Ai and MEM-cho, Ling and Tendouji Sarina both fed the Producer with fruit and had the Producer kiss their collarbones. How much of a difference was this from pillow business? They were just short of going back to the room and starting unspeakable acts, right?
In a single idol group, two guys who advanced through pillow business appeared. In the future, the group's center position would likely only be between Ling and Tendouji Sarina...
Actually, there was one point she couldn't figure out. If they were really talking about figures, there were tons of people in the idol agency with better figures than them, right?
Ling's figure wasn't much better than hers. It was just that one could tell at a glance she had been nourished, and the features on her pure face exuded a faint charm.
As for Tendouji Sarina, her figure was even worse than hers; she just relied on the halter low-cut dress from cosplaying Lumine to forcefully squeeze out a little bit, able to hold up a strawberry a little.
Nnn... could it be that Producer liked the smaller ones?
Thinking about it carefully, Elio and Elusi from the mermaid songstresses didn't seem to have outstanding figures either. On the contrary, those with explosive figures like Himemiya Elisa and Satsuki Botan didn't receive any special attention from Producer here.
Then speaking of which, was she, who had a petite and cute figure, also one of Producer's targets?
This Ling was even her fan. If she was willing, Ling might even bring her along...
Thinking about the entire B Komachi group being reduced to Hachiman's *** in the future, Arima Kana hastily shook her head, but the suppressed pressure in her heart could not be dispersed for a long time.
Producer hadn't even said anything yet, how could she think that way!
What was going on? Even though she was no longer being photographed by Producer, she kept thinking about things in that direction!
"Alright, let's stop here for today. Hazuki, let everyone freely disband and go rest."
After another while, having finished taking the last sibling group photo for Ling and Tendouji Sarina, Hachiman, who was eating and playing at the same time, looked at the photo of the two kissing his cheeks together in the portrait camera. He nodded in satisfaction and instructed Nanakusa Hazuki on the shore.
He had to say, the cosplay party was truly a pretty good way to play; they could play it more in the future.
Before today, he didn't even know he could be called Brother simultaneously by both Ling and Lumine.
However, the time for today's cosplay segment was about up. If they kept shooting, they wouldn't finish even by nightfall, so it was better to let everyone disband and go play on their own.
The anime convention event wasn't just about taking cosplay photos. It was just that taking cosplay photos was the most convenient activity to come in contact with him. Having shot for a few hours at once, there wouldn't be much point in continuing.
"Understood, I will arrange it well. Producer, you've worked hard."
Hearing this, Nanakusa Hazuki immediately led the idols lined up behind her to bow and take their leave.
The grueling daytime cosplay segment was finally over.
Although there was still some Play segment at night, that was no longer her responsibility.
"Is it over?... Thank you for your guidance, Producer! You've worked hard!"
Deathly afraid that there would be another large-scale shooting segment, where it wouldn't be as simple as just kissing his face, MEM-cho felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
However, when she straightened her back and saw the regret unanimously revealed on the faces of the four people beside her, Ling, Hoshino Ai, Arima Kana, and Tendouji Sarina, her whole body went numb.
Even though she was only a little bit over the age limit, why did she feel like she couldn't keep up with the youngsters?
Not to mention Ling, who advanced through pillow business at a glance and had sat with Producer an unknown number of times.
Nor to mention Tendouji Sarina, who came specifically for Producer and would take the initiative to knock on Producer's door herself even without needing to be given resources.
What made it hardest for her to believe were Hoshino Ai and Arima Kana. Prior to this, these two hadn't shown the slightest intention of relying on pillow business to achieve their idol dreams.
Why was it that now, upon seeing Producer, they could both accept the unwritten rules?
No, it wasn't accepting the unwritten rules; it was that they wanted to apply the unwritten rules to Producer... After applying the unwritten rules to Producer, they could even take resources and become more popular...
Having analyzed it for a bit, MEM-cho really wanted to condemn Hoshino Ai and Arima Kana, but found she didn't even have the energy to complain about this kind of eat-and-take behavior.
Because she discovered she wasn't very repulsed by Producer either. If she was truly repulsed by Producer, she wouldn't have deceived herself into kissing Producer's cheek with some face-kissing etiquette just now.
