Good… Goodness!
Now, Keti was completely out of tricks, too. That classic, smooth little combo from her nemesis—
Plus the classic “choose one of two,” forcing her to answer a multiple-choice question—where did he even learn these methods?
I… Wuu~
There was no way out. Although Keti didn’t really think her nemesis would show the projection stone to others,
A young girl couldn’t afford to take the risk. If it got out, her reputation would be ruined!
So… so…
Honestly, this whole thing… If only she hadn’t dared to run around with Layla. If she’d just stayed by her nemesis’ side, how could she have ended up in such a shameful state?
Wuu, b-but, dressed like this, held in her nemesis’ arms, and… and even being bullied by him, in a place where she couldn’t tell if it was public or private—
It was just too weird, ahhhh!
“Either beat the war drum, or do what we did last night. Little kitten, you choose~ If you do well, I’ll forgive you, and then I’ll tell you how to solve the practical exam~!”
“Wuu… Then-then-then… I choose the drum, isn’t that enough! Ngh—!”
“Hmph, this… is what you chose yourself~ Pa—!”
Before she could finish, her nemesis’ palm landed in an instant. The unsuspecting silver-haired beauty shuddered all over, and then a hot, tingling numbness spread behind her.
“Gu… ah…Why, why so hard, wuu…”
Keti, unable to stand the force, was struck so hard her tears fell. Her legs nearly buckled, and she struggled to hold back her tears as she stubbornly turned her head, protesting:
“Sof… softer! It hurts!”
“Ah, ahem… Alright, alright, I’ll be gentler, but…”
Seeing her aggrieved expression, His Excellency also felt a little pity for the little kitten, but—
Looking at her tense and adorable little face, after a moment, Lynn still cheerfully raised his hand, then leaned to her ear and whispered:
“It won’t be too soft, you know, because this is discipline for the little kitten! Otherwise, you won’t remember, right?”
“Gu—~”
Those words, why did they sound so familiar? Keti felt like she’d heard them somewhere before…
That’s right, she remembered. Back at the tavern, when she’d taken matters into her own hands to discipline Ximon, she’d said something similar, wuu~!
But now, she’d become Ximon in this scenario! Their positions were suddenly reversed, wuu.
But, but… ngh—!
Ah… wuu.
Back then, she’d never been as ruthless as her nemesis now… She never used this much force, wuu. This, this… it’s not really any softer than before!
But, wuu…
So strange. Afraid as she was, why… was something unexplainable stirring inside her heart? A sense of—
Teasing, or maybe even a strange kind of excitement?
Why was this happening!
Facing the current situation, Keti’s mind was so full of shame she refused to think any more, but the harsh slaps continued to rain down.
Even so, His Excellency still seemed unsatisfied. After a while, Lynn spoke again:
“Bad little kitten, hurry up, apologize to the teacher! Pa—!”
“Ah wuu… I-I’m not wrong!”
Keti wanted to defend herself so much… What kind of situation was this, hey! They were obviously colleagues now! Since when did this turn into a teacher-student play!
But… the more she resisted inside, the more an inexplicable itching pain grew. As if something was constantly tempting her, luring her along, and gradually…
It even made Keti, who was starting to get used to the rhythm of the slaps, begin to feel a… strange sensation from the pain.
Even Keti herself couldn’t tell anymore if her earlier resistance was sincere, or just to make her nemesis use even more force. She even regretted asking him to be gentler in the first place, gu…
But, these thoughts were absolutely not right! What was she even thinking, why…!
“Hmph, little kitten really is a tsundere little thing. Saying ‘no, no’ with your mouth, but just like last time, your waist is starting to move on its own again~ Pa—!”
“Ah… it’s not like that, I… I just… ya—!”
Keti didn’t have time to explain before another crisp slap came down. The silver-haired beauty’s body shook for a moment, wobbling unsteadily…
She couldn’t stand anymore!
If her nemesis wasn’t holding her, Keti probably would have collapsed right to the ground. Her consciousness was growing fuzzier, her mind a tangled mess, her body tense, and then…
“Say… ‘I’m sorry, teacher. I’m a bad kid. I’ll never try to seduce the boys and teachers at school again. Please punish me~'”
His Excellency gazed at her with great interest, then gently placed his hand on Keti, not rushing to continue, but simply looking at her with amusement.
Ugh… wh-why did he suddenly stop?
After hearing Lynn’s request, the silver-haired beauty, her mind almost blank, suddenly snapped back a trace of reason, sucking in a cold breath.
N-no, wasn’t this too shameful! This sounded like… like she was some kind of flirty, trashy schoolgirl messing around at school!
But, but… if she didn’t say it…
“Pa—!”
Seeing her hesitate, Lynn urged her again, and at once, Keti gasped, and then…
“Ah… mm~ I’m sorry, teacher~ I-I’m a bad kid, gu… I’ll never try to seduce the boys and teachers at school again, I’m sorry, wuu—!”
“Thud—!”
A moment later, Miss Keti, drained of all strength, collapsed right onto the fitting room floor. She’d fallen so suddenly that she even dragged Lynn down with her.
Cough, cough, cough.
But as the culprit, His Excellency could never be angry. On the contrary, after the excitement faded and his mind cleared, Lynn looked at the dazed little kitten and gently stroked her…
Had he been too rough just now?
“Wuu… Don’t… don’t hit me anymore, ngh…”
For a while, as Lynn admired the kitten’s lovely eyelashes and quietly cast a healing spell to reduce her swelling, suddenly, the girl lying on the floor made a pitiful sound.
“Ah, little thing, you… didn’t faint? I thought you’d pass out like last time…”
Lynn squinted with a mischievous grin, while the silver-haired beauty clenched her teeth, taking a deep breath…
Even so, that stimulating feeling inside hadn’t yet faded. She took several long, deep breaths before finally crawling up, face burning red, head lowered, and refusing to say a word to her nemesis.
Ugh, this guy was really too much this time!
“Lynn, you… um, even though I was your student before, have you forgotten, I used to…”
“Shh… Little kitten, calm down, don’t say anything…”
Lynn suddenly pressed Keti’s lips closed, then… signaled her with his eyes. Keti blinked in confusion, and then, under Lynn’s guidance, glanced toward the crack of the door…
Then… her pupils widened in shock. Wh-what was going on?
A projection stone?!
