Chapter: 5. A Brand New Stage & A Brand New Protagonist
Ark Academy.
A stage that does not exist in the original work of “Star Draw 2.”
In the storyline of the original, the first half unfolds in the daily life of Kawano City, while the second half is the battle of abilities at the “Academy.”
The artificially created Ark Academy Island seems more like the story stage of “Academy City.”
Everything here is so unfamiliar to Nagino.
From the “protagonist’s” age perspective.
This stage begins with the new semester of the second year of high school.
It is the stage where both the male and female protagonists of “Star Draw 2” start their stories.
However, now both the locations and characters are completely different from the original.
In the original, as the female protagonist “Hoshimiya Nagino,” she had already lost all her family members by this time, becoming a gloomy girl consumed by hatred and revenge.
But now, Nagino not only protects her family and Yukino but even embodies the carefree, beautiful girl persona she once played.
Wherever she goes now, she is the center of attention in the crowd, the most dazzling and captivating presence.
After all, who can refuse a lively, energetic, and gentle girl?
After these two and a half years of growth, Nagino’s originally stunning beauty has bloomed.
Perhaps it’s because in her previous two lives she only saw men in the mirror that every time Nagino sees her face in this life, she can’t help but let out a soft gasp.
Once seemingly sparkling with countless stars, her eyes are now clear and bright black orbs due to being sealed away in their “starlight state.” Paired with beautifully crafted features reminiscent of a master sculptor’s touch, her large eyes shine like jewels, embodying the purity and beauty of a girl.
Her pure and adorable appearance, combined with her outstanding figure, symbolizes the term “beautiful girl.”
The archetype of a “beautiful high school girl.”
No—
To be more accurate, it should be—
The model of a “meat-selling beautiful high school girl” in ACG ero works.
Though just a high school student, her body developed too early and exudes sensuality.
Nagino can hardly remember the last time she could stand and see her feet, as her shoulders bear the increasingly heavy burden of her voluptuous pair, which even with a bra still shakes during normal movement, making her inevitably give up some intense sports.
Compared to this pair of ample fruits, her waist is far too slender, worrying her countless times in front of the mirror about whether it might one day break under the pressure from above.
However, this is something typical for a “big-breasted heroine.”
What truly concerns Nagino is her plump bottom and sensuous thighs that curve from her slim waist, whether it’s her round and perky behind, perfectly shaped like a peach, or her luxuriously delicate thighs—both simply scream sensuality.
Rather than being a “big-breasted heroine,” she resembles a “heroine with an overall tendency towards sensuality and flesh.”
And then there’s that “innocent” persona that Nagino has always played.
It feels like she has become a character from a hentai manga, one who could be devoured by men at any moment.
Whether it’s after she showers or each day she wakes up, Nagino feels a certain allure radiating from her increasingly voluptuous body, making her heartbeat accelerate.
Moreover, after Kanade left Kawano City, Nagino calmly reassessed her current allure.
In the original “Star Draw 2,” “Hoshimiya Nagino” had the attribute of being “the world’s number one beautiful girl,” tagged on due to the game producers’ and players’ temper, along with the carefully drawn illustrations by renowned artists that brought her such talent.
In addition to her “beautiful girl training” aimed at seducing Kanade, Nagino’s already eye-catching and outstanding sexy figure has become even more alluring during this time.
Although she feels shy, since Nagino accepted her identity as a beautiful girl and acknowledged her past male lecherous side, she’s found it increasingly difficult to refute Garuda’s teasing of her as a “pervert.”
Perhaps influenced by Kanade’s shy reactions to her temptations back then, Nagino is now gradually becoming fond of—
Using her cute appearance and the persona of innocence to treat everyone with gentleness, forming a pure, innocent “purity aura,” while simultaneously exuding a sensual, fleshy figure accompanied by clothing that inadvertently reveals or seductively shows off… This combination creates a morally questionable and enticing atmosphere—
Though her original intention was merely to practice enticing Kanade for their eventual reunion, quickly erasing the years of distance between them to offer him refreshment or attraction.
Yet, Nagino must admit she has somewhat indulged in it, unable to stop.
The thrill of teasing and playing with her beauty, watching both boys and girls succumb to the “unconscious assault” she puts on, struggling with their emotions.
Nagino feels immense fulfillment and accomplishment.
In the past, she had always warned herself against venturing into such territory.
After losing her starlight, accepting herself, and daring to step in, she found that this can indeed become addictive—
It seems there’s a fitting term to describe who she is now—
“A bad woman” or “shameless bitch.”
But Nagino feels the need to clarify:
—As long as nobody discovers her, she is simply an unaware natural beautiful girl!
—And she is just working hard for her future reunion with Kanade; by leaning into this persona, surely she can make Kanade more anxious and concerned about her during their long-awaited reunion!
—It’s absolutely not to satisfy this tiny new quirk of hers, definitely not…
For this reason.
On the morning of Nagino’s first official step into Ark Academy.
She deliberately adjusted the way she wore the Ark Academy uniform.
Through her research on women’s clothing over the past days, Nagino had figured out how to wear the white shirt and short skirt of Ark Academy to reveal an “unaware yet strangely sensual side.”
For instance, intentionally wearing dark-colored underwear beneath the white shirt fabric allows the already light fabric to subtly reveal the outline and color of her underwear at the chest under the sunlight.
At the same time, she tightens the waist with the skirt to create a filled-out and enticing shape in front of the shirt, showcasing curves and folds.
As for the length of her short skirt, she makes it as short as possible without appearing indecent. Although she has been lectured by Amane before, she now understands that if she enjoys the light feeling of her lower half rather than being “ignorant about how girls should dress”—
Then she can totally wear this super short skirt that generously reveals her alluring thighs!
Finally, she carefully chose black stockings to wrap around her long, fair legs, specifically selecting ones with thigh rings that outline the attractive curves of her thighs.
During her time without starlight.
Nagino, through persistent effort and practice, has fully utilized her talents as a “child star genius.”
Now, even without the powers of starlight, she can skillfully control her expressions and movements.
Although today she will head to Ark Academy with Yukino, she doesn’t plan to simply reunite with Kanade.
Because this will be their first meeting after a long separation.
She must find a way to stagger the timing of meeting Kanade, heightening his desire to see her, elevating his expectations to the peak, and only then deliver a bottom rebound…
By that time, his feelings for her will surely explode, shattering the positioning of other girls in his heart over these years—
Perfect.
So this time, Nagino only contacted Amane to pick her up.
Moreover, to maintain her reputation in the eyes of the students at Ark Academy, Nagino kept her usual gentle and caring aura, exhibiting a sunny and helpful demeanor.
Considering that Kanade might be unable to resist waiting for her at the station.
On the day of the new student enrollment ceremony, she tried inviting a first-year junior she had just met to go along with her.
This way, even if Kanade waits at the station, when he sees her accompanied by other boys, it’s sure to stir his inner anxiety and possessiveness… provided he doesn’t actually have a “head-turning victim” fetish…
Nagino oddly began to worry.
But that worry finally grounded after she inadvertently helped and guided a girl she encountered.
To her surprise, the second-year girl she bumped into turned out to be someone who harbored unrequited love for Kanade.
—After all, she seemed so cute, and rather than a beautiful girl of the same age right in front of him, does Kanade prefer his childhood friend whom he hasn’t seen for years?
—Well, well~ After all, she has gone through so many measures to ensure Kanade’s safety, only to see this result implies that her plan is going smoothly~
“Um, um, excuse me, what’s wrong?” A voice snapped Nagino back to reality.
She found the girl staring at her with concern: “Your cheeks suddenly turned so red… Are you okay?”
—Me? Blushing?
It was only then that Nagino noticed—
Her face was inexplicably burning, and for some reason, her heart was racing.
