Masaki-sama was not present at the dinner table last night.
I want to serve the Confinement King. Yui-chan, who was going to ask, looked very disappointed. She asked me if I would like to serve with her, but I thought I had declined. I was not comfortable saying I didnât want to, so I turned down the offer in a roundabout way, but Iâm not so sure if Yui got the message.
And then, one night later, it was time for breakfast. We finish our fluffy cheese omelette and itâs time to feed the pigs. We step into the corral with buckets of oatmeal and milk in our hands, as instructed by the silver-haired maid.
We thought it would be the sameâŚâŚas yesterday, but something unexpected happened.
âHatsu-chan! Whatâs going on? This!â
Shima-senpai shouted loudly and we turned our eyes to where she was looking. There, we found Captain Tashiro, covered in bruises, lying on the floor as if throwing her body out.
Looking at the other members of the club, as the silver-haired maid had said, the whipping scars have disappeared without a shadow. This means that the bruises on the Captainâs head and body were not caused by the whipping.
âWho is it? Who did this to you?â
When Shima-senpai looks around at the pigs and raises her voice, Captain Tashiro weakly raises herself and replies in a pained voice.
âShimaâŚâŚIâm okay. Donât worry. Just get everyone some foodâŚ.â
âYou idiot! Hatsu-chan, youâre hurt everywhere.They do not deserve to be feed!.â
Shima-senpai was about to approach the pigs, but a silver-haired maid stood in front of her.
âShima-sama, itâs feeding time. This is not the time for an interrogationâ
âAs if!â
âIf you do not comply, I will penalise youâ
âGgghhhâŚâŚâ
Shima-senpai bites her lip, looks around at the pigs, and says in a low voice.
Shima-senpai silently and angrily gave the food and as soon as she finished collecting the feed bins, she was about to charge straight into the breeding area with a whip in her hand. We hurried to stop her.
âLetâs cool down for a moment. Okay?,how about it?â
âI know but, MoribeâŚâŚ.Takasago?! Miss Bowel! You too. Donât push! Donât push!â
âThe comedianâs ădonât pushă means push, right? Anyway, it would be wise to start all over againâ
âWhoâs the comedian!â
I can understand why Shima-senpai is so angry. In fact, I also felt quite indignant at such a scene.
By all accounts, those are lynching scars. They are the marks of being kicked and trampled by a bunch of people.
Whoever did it, why didnât the others stop it? Couldnât they have stopped it?
âIâm calm! Iâve calmed down, so letâs move!â
âYouâre not calm at all, Shima-senpai!â
I somehow managed to drag her to the dining room but as soon as I sat her down in the chair, Shima-senpai was in a hurry to get up. I grab her hand and persuade her.
âI understand how you feel, but if you donât calm down, you will make an unexpected mistake.â
âI wonât!â
âI think you need to cool down, donât you? You can fall in with the pigs all you like, but I hope youâll consider the trouble youâll cause us.â
Immediately, Shima-senpai glared at Yui-chan.
âMiss Bowel⌠youâve been quite brave lately. You better watch out when you use your mouth!â
âPlease donât take it out on me. You know what youâre getting yourself into. If itâs you now, I can see you being provoked by Shiratori-senpai and saying ăGet mad, answer the question,and then fall high to a pigă, like a product description on some phone shopping channel, and falling in with just three easy steps.â
âGhhâŚ..â
Shima-senpai is not stupid. Apart from being able to study, she is what is called a person of wisdom. Thatâs probably why she found what Yui-chan said to be reasonable.
âDamn it!â
Shima-senpai pounded the table with her fist. With that aside, Yui-chan spoke to me and Takasago-senpai.
âTakasago-senpai, please take care of Shima-senpai. Then, first of all, Moribe-san and I will finish the whipping first. And Moribe-san, itâs best if you donât say anything. To be honest, I donât think you look very calm either.â
I followed Yui-chan out of the dining room and came to the front of the breeding yard.
When the silver-haired maid saw us, she bowed and pushed open the door, saying, [Please, enter].
âLetâs go. Moribe-sanâ
âYesâ
We gave each other a small nod and stepped into the menagerie.
The smell of leftover breakfast and milk hit my nose. Captain Tashiro was rolling around in the corner, her chest was going up and down, so she was probably fine. I told myself that.
As soon as she saw Yui-chanâs figure, Amemiya-senpai said, [Hiiii!] and her face twitched. The club members retreated from around Amemiya-senpai all at once.
âAmemiya, youâre ready for this, arenât you?â
âNoooâŚâŚPlease forgive meâŚâŚWhy do you keep doing this to me?â
âYouâre a dumb pig. You still donât know how to speak. Please, forgive meâŚ.âYui-samaââŚisnât it!!!â
With a large swing of the whip as it is, Yui sets Amemiya-senpai in motion. Following the sound of the wind-slash, a loud striking sound echoed out[Bachii!].
Bish! a sharper sound than before.[Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]. Amemiya-senpai screamed and fell back.
âThatâs only two whips. I donât know if you can take another ninety-eight whips like that..â
âI canât! I canât! Please forgive me, Yui-sama!â
Every time Amemiya-senpai utters the word [Yui-sama], Yui-chan shudders a little. She is somewhat unable to suppress her excitement. She looks like that. She is Zokuzoku. Maybe she feels like that.
[Thrilled]
âMore, more, more!â
Bishy, bishy and the sound of a heavy whip with force. [Gyaaaaah!] and Amemiya-senpaiâs beastly scream echoes through the air.
When I somehow counted the number of whips,around the thirty-round mark, Yui-chan grabbed Amemiya-senpai by the hair, whose face was messed up with tears and drool and made her look up, then twisted her mouth into a shape like the moon on the lower sine, and whispered to her.
âLick my shoes.â
âN-no wayâŚâŚâ
âLick them!!â
âGyaaaaaaaaahh!â
Yui-chan whipped her face sideways, it was painful. After further whipping Amemiya-senpaiâs back, which was flailing about and she was out of breath, Yui-chan further pressed her.
âIâll tell you one more time. Lick my shoesâ
âUuâŚâŚuâŚâŚâ
Her shoes are held up in front of the kneeling Amemiya-senpai. Fluttering and weeping, senpai runs her tongue over Yui-chanâs boots.
âHow is it, is it good?â
âMwuchuâŚdeliciâreefuâ
ââIs that so, donât be shy, lick it more. But thatâsâŚâŚ weird. Your face says it doesnât look tasty at all. Why donât you lick it like youâre happy?â
âHe,EheheâŚ..rerouâŚâ
With tears spilling from the corners of her eyes, Amemiya-senpai forced a smile.
I think this is a terrible thing to do. But I have no reason or obligation to stop Yui-chan. Itâs not like I was on particularly good terms with Amemiya-senpai. The only thing is, if Amemiya-senpai was one of the four, she would have come forward long ago.
Yui caressed the head of Amemiya-senpai, who was continuing to lick her shoes, and whispered to her in a gentle voice.
âObedient children are so cute. I would like to reduce the whipping, but I have to whip someone to complete the hundred whips. What shall I do?â
Then, Amemiya-senpai raised her voice as if clinging to Yui-chan.
âP-please listen! Omuta and Koike were talking badly about Yui-sama! They were calling Yui-sama a hungry bitch and a spoiled brat! Please whip them!â
âHeeâŚ..is that so? I wouldnât know if you didnât say thatâŚ..â
With that said, Yui-chan glared at Omuta-san and Koike-san, who are both first-year students, and they hurriedly shouted at Amemiya-senpai.
âYou made me say it!âŚ. Kayama-san, thatâs not true! I just went along with her because she said bad things about Kayama-san. Weâre juniors, we canât go against our seniors!â
âY-yes! The one who is at fault is Amemiya-senpai! That person! That person!â
In a hurry, Amemiya-senpai raises her voice.
âYouâre right, it wasnât you who was bad-mouthing her until the very end, Koike! Thatâs right! You were the one who said you were going to call the policeâ
At that moment, Yui-chanâs eyes twitched.
âHehâŚ..it was you, wasnât it? Koikeâ
The blood quickly drained from Koikeâs face. Yui-chan turned towards the silver-haired maid.
âFreesia-sama, how much have I whipped~?â
âThirty-nineâ
âYouâre lucky, Amemiya. Iâll forgive you for one more whip today. Then, Iâll give the rest to Koike and Omuta. In exchange, you will thank me in a loud voice and say, ăThank you very much, Yui-samaăâ
âTha,thank you very muchâŚâŚnhiiii!â
After the last whip, Yui-chan turned to Koike and Omuta, without looking back at Amemiya-senpai, who had fallen down.
âWell then, thanks for waiting. Itâs your turn nowâ
âHiii⌠Noooo. Iâm not at fault, itâs Amemiya whoâs at fault!â
âYouâre so noisy!â
Yui-chan raises the whip. From there, they were perilously beaten. The girls kept cursing Amemiya-senpai, not Yui-chan, while being whipped.
Now, I canât just watch them forever either.
With Yui-chan whipping them, I turn to the other first-year students.
Immediately, the girls look frightened.
âM-Moribe-san, weâre friends, arenât we? You see, the second year were always yelling at you, right? Letâs beat up Amemiya-senpai and Adachi-senpai, okay?â
âIf I think about it, you never whip Ota. Itâs favouritism, favouritism, hey, letâs whip Ota-senpaiâ
Hotta-san and Mako-san insisted, shaking their faces from side to side, and every time they mentioned someoneâs name, the other side yelled out. Ugly. Really ugly. If I were in their shoes, would I do and say the same thing? Yes, I would probably say it. I am weak. I know I am weak.
âHey, hey, please say something, ummâŚâŚ MoribeâŚâŚ-samaâ
They finally called me ăsamaă.
But Iâm not as gutsy or smart as Shima-senpai or Yui-chan. Today, I have decided not to speak at all. I think itâs the only way to avoid making mistakes. I would like to question Captain about what happened, but if I show any weakness, I will definitely fail.
While I was thinking about this, I heard a voice calling me from around where the second-year students were gathered.
âHey, Moribe.â
When I turned my eyes towards the owner of the voice, there she was, Shiratori-senpai.
Her expression was as pouty as ever, as if she was in a bad mood. Although I had said that it was just her eyesight that was bad, I could only assume that she was trying to pick a fight with me as she stared at me.
âI have to ignoreâŚâŚher, sheâs the person I shouldnât deal withâŚâŚShiratori-senpai.â
I am not a person who can compete with her when I exchange words with her.
When I turned away, Shiratori-senpai raised her voice as if making fun of me.
âYou didnât even reply, you have no sense of manners at all. I thought you were relatively better than themâŚ..â
âDonât be provoked. Ignore, ignoreâ
When I didnât answer anything, Shiratori-senpai spun more words.
âWell⌠thatâs fine. Hey, Moribe. Iâve already figured out who the four people youâre looking for areâ
âEh!?â
I involuntarily raised my voice and hurriedly covered my mouth.
âDonât worry. I didnât answer her questionâ
Looking around, there was a sense of agitation amongst the club members at the comment from Shiratori-senpai.
âAhaha. Unlike Kayama, youâre not the type of person who enjoys hitting people. Youâre taking it pretty hard, arenât you?â
ââŚ.I wonder what sheâs up toâ
My alertness is maxed out. Maybe Iâm being bargained with. I will never open my mouth.
âYou know, I can make this easier on you. I can pull the four of them out and end this mess now but I donât know whatâs going to happen after that, thoughâŚ..â
Then Shiratori-senpai looked at me and spoke.
âSoâŚ. you, swap places with meâ
I gulped.
âHow did she know there was a swap?â
I looked back at her with wide eyes, and Shiratori-senpaiâs mouth twisted into a grin.
âYes, I knew it. And now Iâm convinced. There are conditions under which your position and ours can be swapped. Well, Iâm pretty sure I know what those conditions are, judging by your attitudeâ
Once again, I think I understand how dangerous she is. No, donât. I canât deal with her. Anyway, I have to get out of here as soon as possible.
I turned my head towards the first-year students. Then I swung the whip down on Kishiro-san, who was closest to me.
