As expected, his latest work was well received. There was however a couple of complaints riddled amongst the praise. More specifically, they wanted Ami to really feel exposed. Sure she'd just done a shoot completely naked, but that had been in a familiar environment with someone she knew and trusted.

Haruto wasn't one for exposing himself, or associating with anyone who does for that matter. If people wanted Ami exposed out in public he'd obviously have to be the one capturing it, but he definitely didn't want to be caught in the act. Worst case scenario he'd be judged as an accomplice. No, that was completely out of the question. That's why he came up with the ingenious idea of taking her to the beach of all places. It really couldn't have been better timing either. The season had just begun and there weren't too many people there.

Ami was harder to convince. The recent backlash at school from dying her hair had made an impact and she was reluctant to go outside to crowded areas. The beach was especially demanding thanks to her extreme lack of confidence in her "beach-bod". Eventually she came around after having Haruto tell her she'd look hot in a bikini. A very blatant lie, but at her current level it didn't take much encouraging in that arena to earn her compliance.

And so here they were, on the beach. Haruto had a couple of ideas in mind. Ideas he hadn't yet disclosed with Ami. Usually he didn't do so until the very last moment, knowing full and well that she'd object, though those very objections never had any meaningful determination behind them. It was more of a way to save face, really. She felt like she should say something, not just go along with everything he proposed just to appear as though she had some standards.

The sky was clear, and so was the sand beneath their feet. A fell kept beach with a lot more people than anticipated. Not to worry, that didn't really change anything.
The first order of business was for them to get settled. They'd both brought beach towels to lie on. When it came down to it, they really were just on a trip to the beach together and it'd be absurd to not bring a towel at the very least.

There weren't many spots where privacy could be had which left them setting up camp not too far from another couple.
The pair were a stark contrast to Haruto and Ami. While Haruto was fairly pudgy the other guys was muscled and tall. His assumed girlfriend radiated confidence, and for good reason. She was a total knockout. Generous breasts and generally just a body to die for. All natural too, except for one thing.. That thing was her hair being dyed the a very similar color same to Ami's.

Ami didn't notice at first, being too busy keeping her pointed down and eyes fixed on the sand upon which she stood. It wasn't until after she'd settled down on her towel and built up the courage to actually look around at all the people around her that she noticed the bombshell next to her. Besides being inferior in pretty much every aspect, the part that really stung the most was how well the green hair suited her. After seeing someone so out of her league rock that color it was only natural for her to deduce that the reason behind the bullying wasn't only for her hair, but something else. Was it her looks? Her personality? Her lack of hygiene these past few weeks? The list of things that made her unattractive and unpopular amongst her classmates seemed never ending, especially when one is prone to falling into desperate spirals of self loathing..

The blank look on her face as she went down this road of bad thoughts didn't go unnoticed. Her "partner" had already expected something similar to happen before they even settled. He'd seen the green haired beauty and figured it'd be the perfect spot to shut down Ami's spirits before the shoot. Ingenious, really..

His strategy was simple. Start off doing some bog standard stuff. If against ALL ODDS Ami decided that something was too much for her to agree to, he would at least have something to post. Basically insurance incase something did go wrong, not that it had happened to date.

With the boring stuff out of the way, Haruto was free to initiate phase two of the beach trip. The first step was to leave for a more ..private area. In addition to putting her well outside her zone of comfort, her "fans" wanted her to feel insecure about herself in any and all ways imaginable..
