"She's your sister-in-law. Have you no sha, Suzumura Kenta."
Hearing Hikari's words, Kenta's face flushed red instantly, "I, I, I…"
Caught and exposed, he stamred for a long ti, unable to speak.
But he quickly changed tack, pointing at Hikari, "I rember now! You're that Hikari from next door! We t that day!"
"You little brat, barging into my house and accusing of peeping at soone showering. That's nonsense!"
"You don't tell anyone about this, or… or I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, Kenta waved his fists at Hikari in a threatening manner.
But Kenta's vulgar, sleazy bearing and general lack of decency made the move look all show and no power, utterly lacking nace.
Seeing the fists wobble in front of him, Hikari didn't humour him.
He threw another punch and knocked the threatening Kenta to the ground.
"Beat to death? You?"
Kenta tried to fight back but was soon kicked until his face was bruised and swollen.
He dared not get up, clutching his head on the ground and howling.
While Kenta was being thrashed, Arisa, who heard the commotion from the bathroom, had already stopped bathing.
She turned off the tap and hurried out toward the noisy yard.
When she ca out, she saw Hikari beating Kenta.
"Hikari, what's going on?", Although it looked like Hikari was the one attacking, she trusted him more than Kenta.
She believed there must be a reason Hikari would strike Kenta, so she did not question Kenta and instead asked Hikari directly.
Seeing Arisa, Hikari casually explained, "I ca to your place to find you and saw Suzumura Kenta skulking at the bathroom window. He was trying to peek at you showering and threatened not to tell anyone or he'd beat up, so I taught him a lesson."
Hearing him, Arisa first looked tense, then relaxed when she realized Kenta had been stopped before succeeding.
"Thank you, Hikari-kun!"
Arisa thanked Hikari directly.
She did not doubt his words at all.
She trusted him, and she had long suspected Kenta's character and knew he was capable of such a thing.
"Kenta, you," Arisa was about to say sothing.
Kenta imdiately started to argue, "Arisa! Don't listen to him. He's lying, I—"
"Shut up!", Arisa cut off his excuse, "You dared to do sothing so disgusting and still deny it? I'll tell Kouta everything!"
At Arisa's words, Kenta fell silent.
He did not even dare to look at her, and left as if fleeing.
Kenta was actually timid and cowardly, doing nothing and without a job.
He was sleazy and insanely bold, thinking Arisa, a foreign sister-in-law, would be easy prey, so he plotted to bully her.
He lived off money from his brother Suzumura Kouta. If Kouta found out about Kenta's intentions toward Arisa and stopped sending money, Kenta would probably starve.
Now he did not know what to do and only wanted to find sowhere to hide.
Watching his retreating back, Hikari heard the system prompt in his head.
[Ding! Host successfully stopped bull-headed man Suzumura Kenta's lewd peeping plan, rescued beauty Arisa, and promoted pure love spirit!]
[Reward: Pure Love Points 100!]
While Hikari listened to the reward prompt, Arisa ca up beside him.
The voluptuous foreign beauty bowed to Hikari and thanked him, "Thank you so much for coming in ti. Otherwise I fear Suzumura Kenta would have watched completely."
Thinking she had almost been spied on made Arisa furious and very grateful to Hikari.
"No problem," Hikari waved his hand. He was pleased to get pure love points just for stopping a trashy bull-headed man's peeping.
But while he was unconcerned, Arisa remained very grateful.
After thanking him several tis, she could not help but pour out her grievances to Hikari.
"Hikari-kun, since I ca to Japan I have felt so uncomfortable."
"There are so many dangers here. I was ogled in the car, and now my fiance's brother has designs on ."
"I even helped him with a lot of chores this morning, planning to finish them before coming to see you."
"It's so boring to not know anyone in the village, and now Kouta's brother acts like this. I feel really sad…"
The lonely, lonely Arisa could no longer hold back her resentnt and confided in Hikari.
"It's fine. If anyone like Suzumura Kenta tries anything, you can always co to ," Hikari sensed her loneliness and unease and comforted her.
Arisa couldn't help grabbing Hikari's hand and lanting, "Hikari-kun, I really feel unsafe now. I don't want to stay in the sa house with Kenta anymore. I don't know what he'll do."
"Hikari-kun, could you help think of a way?"
Her pale, delicate hand gripped Hikari's. Arisa's eyes held a pleading look.
———
"Hikari, could you help think of a way?", Tilting her head slightly, Arisa pleaded to Hikari.
Faced with the request from this blonde, blue-eyed beauty, Hikari thought for a mont and said, "How about I take you around Ino Village?"
They had hit it off in the car earlier and promised to stroll the village together. Hikari also planned to look for Aunt Touka's family elsewhere in the village, so he agreed.
Hearing that, Arisa nodded brightly, "Yes, yes! I was planning to go out with you today anyway. I'd love that!"
Seeing her bouncing with excitent, Hikari noticed a few revealing details.
Because she had rushed out of the bathroom, Arisa seed to be wearing only a yukata.
Seeing her overly excited look, he politely reminded her, "Arisa, before we go out, please go back and change."
"Huh?", Arisa followed his gaze and looked down, puzzled.
Only then did she realize that because she had hurried out hearing the commotion, wearing just a yukata could not fully hide her figure.
It might have been fine at first, but the fabric was damp from wearing it and from her earlier jumping, making it a little thin and sowhat transparent.
Realizing she had accidentally revealed a bit too much, and feeling embarrassed, Arisa blushed.
"I-I'll go change right away. Please wait for , Hikari-kun!"
Arisa covered her chest and hurried back to her room.
Hikari smiled and said nothing further.
All these blonde foreign beauties. Arisa even seed a bit larger than Mia from the US.
———
After a while, Arisa ca out changed.
She wore a white knitted long-sleeve top and a knee-length blue skirt.
Though fully covered, her proud, lofty curves still revealed the foreign beauty's ample sensuality.
Seeing Hikari's glance, Arisa instinctively placed her small hand on her chest's fullness and blushed.
Noting her embarrassnt, Hikari took the lead, "Let's go. I'll show you around the village."
"Okay!", Arisa eagerly agreed.
Hikari led Arisa along the country path. They first admired the vast rice paddies that swayed like waves.
Then they wandered the village market.
Finally they strolled in the bamboo grove on the back mountain for a while.
Perhaps because she ca from far away, Arisa was delighted to see these common sights of Ino Village.
So excited, she grabbed Hikari's hand and pulled him to run down the country road.
He had shown her parts of the village she had always been curious about but was too afraid to explore alone, which made her really happy.
Holding his warm, strong hand gave her a strong sense of security.
That comfort greatly eased the loneliness and unease of coming alone to a foreign land.
Hikari, feeling Arisa's soft hand, noted it was like a piece of soft jade.
Compared to Miyuri, whose hand had earned him a reward this morning, Arisa's hand was soft but not as smooth, slightly rougher, perhaps from doing more chores.
But other parts he brushed against were very smooth and delicate.
Clearly, as a heroine from the 2D world, Arisa was naturally lovely.
After running for hundreds of ters, Arisa, panting with her chest heaving, had to stop.
When they paused, she realized she had been clutching Hikari's hand tightly, fingers interlaced.
Her palm's hot touch and sweaty grip were obvious.
She quickly let go and bowed her head to apologize, "S-sorry, Hikari-kun! I got carried away and accidentally offended you. I'm really embarrassed."
"It's fine," Hikari waved it off.
"Hikari-kun, I'm so happy today! The places you showed I've never seen before. I'm really so happy!", Once reassured he wasn't angry, Arisa couldn't wait to express her thanks and genuine joy.
Seeing her bounce and the white round face rise and fall, Hikari smiled a little, feeling moved.
This girl was easily pleased.
A walk around the village made her that happy.
She seed genuinely interested in Japan's culture. No wonder she ca alone from so far.
But her fiance Suzumura Kouta was irresponsible. After bringing her here, he left without even showing her the village.
Leaving Arisa in a completely unfamiliar place and living under the sa roof as his single brother was hard to understand for Hikari.
But thinking this was the inner world, everything seed reasonable.
"Hikari-kun, are we going back now?", After expressing her joy, Arisa's tone cald and she asked.
Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, Hikari smiled, "One more place, then."
Arisa perked up, "Where?"
"Co with and you'll see."
———
"This is… a shrine?"
Seeing the place full of Japanese cultural atmosphere, Arisa showed delight.
"Do you like it, Arisa-san?"
From prior observation, Hikari knew Arisa had once been a nun and seed interested in Japanese religious culture, so he brought her to the local shrine.
Sure enough, Arisa nodded enthusiastically,n"I always wanted to co but was too afraid. I heard Japanese shrines enshrine many gods. I'm really interested in these shrine cultures."
"Thank you for bringing , Hikari!"
Too excited, Arisa grabbed Hikari's hand and leaned close to him.
She drew so near it might have been a collision.
Her louder excitent drew displeased looks from so villagers at the shrine.
But seeing she was a beautiful blonde foreigner, much of the displeasure eased.
When they saw Arisa holding Hikari's hand so closely, many people's eyes filled with a mix of envy and hostility.
