Chapter Title: Hey Sow!!! Keep Climbing and I'll Liberate You from Slavery, Make You a Free Person?!! Huh?!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is she student council president for nothing?
Seol Ha-jeong seemed to grasp the situation right away.
"You've finally swallowed up the Guidance Committee, huh? Impressive, Taeyang. No helping it, then."
Wearing a clear smile, she didn't hesitate before dropping to the ground on all fours right there.
"Kyaa-! Oh, sorry. I haven't whipped you yet?"
"...?"
The easily submissive girl.
But you couldn't take her at face value.
She was the type to hide cunning intentions behind that innocent face.
Seol Harin grabbed my forearm and said,
"Look around... Everyone's watching you."
"Hah?"
It was true.
Everyone passing by on the street was staring at me.
Some were filming with their smartphones or making calls somewhere.
Probably reporting to the police.
A burly musclehead like me whipping a delicate beauty in the street?
And the beauty screaming to boot?
No one could look at it without suspecting a crime.
"Hey. You roll your brains pretty well for someone who smiles all innocent-like."
"Brains? No idea what you're talking about. Hurry up and whip me. It's embarrassing doing this in public."
"You think this'll make me chicken out?!!"
Kim Taeyang... who the hell was he?
The nuclear bomb-level thug who crash-landed in Ark...!
As if he'd hesitate over something this minor from the start!
"Urgh!!!"
The moment I swung the whip at her.
Suddenly...
A hand shot out from behind and grabbed my wrist.
"Hah?"
Turning around, there stood a bronze-skinned, muscular woman.
Her build was as huge as mine, enough to mistake her for a man at a glance.
"You! Do you even know who this is before swinging that whip?! Huh?!!"
A familiar bellow.
Of course it was.
Kuma Rodriguez, aka 'Bear Woman'.
This Japanese-Brazilian mix was a thug alumna just like Kim Taeyang.
"Hah? Who the hell gave you permission to touch this body?!! Huh?!!!"
"Hah? Who needs permission to touch trash like you?!!! Huh?!!!!"
"Hah-? You gene-spliced sow wanna try it?!! Huh?!!!!"
"Hahhh?!! Gene-spliced?!!!! Who the hell are you?!!!! Can you take responsibility for that?!!!!! Huh?!!!!!!"
Kuma was the vice student council president, basically the president's bodyguard.
And next to her, the gloomy masked girl...
"Article 31, Section 2. The sitting student council president cannot be arrested or punished without the student council's consent during their term."
"Hah? What's that garbage law?"
"School rules."
The masked girl gave a curt reply and helped Seol Ha-jeong to her feet.
Her name was Lena.
A quiet, meticulous type who served as Seol Ha-jeong's secretary.
What their appearance meant was simple.
The third-years out on field training had returned.
"Up we go."
Seol Ha-jeong stood lightly and dusted off her palms.
"Whew, dodged a whipping there."
"Hey, easy-mode sis! Count yourself lucky!!"
"You're no pushover, Taeyang. But I'm not giving up, so look forward to it!"
Seol Ha-jeong dragged the fuming Kuma away.
Ark's student council.
A group even crazier than the Guidance Committee.
They'd be my enemies too.
Though the flavor would be a bit different from before...
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Woof! I hate my old master, but I reeeally hate her sister!"
Back in the dorm, Pomi gleefully trashed Seol Ha-jeong.
There was good reason.
"She dug up my sister's corpse and turned it into a summon just for fun! To piss off her previous master...! She's worse than a cat!!"
Pomi was fuming.
Bendy swung her palm, smacking Pomi's butt.
Smack! Smack!!
Woof woof!!!
Thrilled, Pomi dashed around the room, letting out excited yips.
This was Pomi and Bendy's 'spanking game.'
They did this perverted play to relieve stress.
It wasn't a big deal in dog or whip form...
But in anthropomorphic girl form, it was kinda embarrassing to watch.
Full-grown virgins doing SM play and running wild wasn't normal...
And it wasn't just the three of us in my room anyway.
"Lady Bendy...! I'm stressed out too lately!!"
Cloé Maiden.
This masochist had started refusing to leave my room at some point.
"Sorry, but I can't hit you... Only those Kim Taeyang permits..."
"N-No way...?!"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [NTR situation staged!] [5 coins acquired!] Bendy only used her Rasha-ra era speech with Cloé.
The petty coins from it were sweet.
"Hey, mini sow. Finished your supplements? Then scram. Tomorrow's a big day."
"Taeyang... Can't you permit the whip for me too? It looks kinda refreshing... Helps with myofascial release or something?"
"What kinda nonsense is that?! How's whipping gonna release fascia, you dumb sow?!!"
"What do you need? Money? Power...? I'll even hand over the Guidance Committee president spot, so please let me get hit!"
"Don't need that crap!! Go prep the performance review properly!!!!"
"Tch..."
Cloé's state was a bit different from Seol Harin's trajectory.
If Seol Harin saw me as a romantic target,
Cloé was a pure 100% pleasure seeker...?
All her words and actions aimed straight for masochistic bliss.
Not affection for me, just enjoying the beatings and pain from me.
One wrong move and it could lead to ruin, arguably riskier than Seol Harin...
But at least she didn't nag like her.
A scolding and she grabs her stuff to leave.
Meanwhile,
Seol Harin treated my place like her own.
"Boiled chicken breast with salad? Or grilled like steak?"
Post-workout, she'd tie on an apron and head to the kitchen herself.
She could only make tteokbokki at first, but now she'd mastered most chicken breast dishes.
"Hey, sow. Skip the cooking and sit."
Seol Harin tilted her head and sat on the sofa.
"Why? Something to say?"
"Curious about that sister of yours."
"..."
Mention of Seol Ha-jeong and her face hardened.
The haughty lady vibe she hadn't shown lately.
Chills enough to raise goosebumps.
"You didn't fall for sis, did you?"
"Hey... Why'd you grab a kitchen knife...?"
"Forgot it in the kitchen. But answer first. Did you really fall for her?"
Shhh-
Heat haze rose around the knife.
Did she just make sword aura with a kitchen knife...?
That's possible???
"Hey! As if I'd fall for trash like her?! Just asking 'cause she's so damn rude!"
"You think sis is pretty?"
"Hey hey! Not pretty at all!! I prefer long straight hair over bobs!!!"
"But the kiss felt good, right?"
"Hah?! That was sexual harassment! What felt good about it?!! Immoral bitch is the worst kind!!!"
"...Really? Almost misunderstood."
Only then did she set the knife aside.
Lately I'd been thinking.
Our master-slave dynamic was subtly reversing...
I just verbally treated her like a slave.
She kept climbing up.
Now pulling knives for threats... Sob sob.
Eh?
Suddenly pissed?
Why am I like this?
Originally, Seol Harin became my slave because of Pomi, no choice.
So I could lord it over her freely!!
"Hey sow! You've been climbing way too much lately?! You lost your mind?! Don't you wanna get Pomi back?!!"
"Pomi? Oh yeah, that."
"?"
She doesn't even want Pomi back anymore!!!
We're screwed!!!!
Screeeeech!!!!!!
Wait a sec...
Reverse blackmail instead?
"Hey sow!!! Keep climbing and I'll straight-up liberate you from slavery, make you a free person?!! Huh?!!!!"
"Tch... Fine! The knife was a joke, calm down."
"?"
Why'd that work...?
Harin-ah...
What the hell happened to your brain...?
She put the knife back in the kitchen and sat primly on the sofa.
Head a bit dizzy, but convo ready.
"Tell me what went down between you and sis. Curious why you hate her so much."
"..."
Reason for digging into Seol Ha-jeong.
She's a user-patch-only character.
Memories fuzzy.
Plus, user patch might have dev tweaks, so verify.
"Sis took good care of me growing up."
"Wasn't always bad?"
"Yeah. Before school, she was my best friend. But suddenly, she started taking my stuff. Toys, dolls obviously, even clothes from parents. If they didn't fit, she'd cut 'em with scissors and play dumb."
"Hah? That's sister material?"
"Not all. She stole my talents too. Praised for drawing? Next day she'd practice like mad and crush me. Instruments, sports, magic same. Kids see two-year gap as huge. I lived soaked in defeat, couldn't beat her reincarnated."
Jealousy-fueled rivalry overheat.
Common in sibling homes.
Seol Ha-jeong's was pathological, but family probably ignored.
She was eldest heir.
Seol Harin just healthy youngest.
But Harin hated living in shadow.
"Hey. You were good at magic too?"
"Big summoning talent as kid. Quit 'cause of sis."
"So focused on swordsmanship? Lucky she didn't steal that."
"Yeah. Sis had zero talent there. Probably the only thing."
Lousy-with-swords Seol Ha-jeong.
New info...
"Sis took everything. Even friends... Only Ju-hyuk stayed. Grateful then, but now? Nah. Sis said he was creepy. If she'd tried, he'd fold quick."
"Hah? You're an idiot?"
"...Huh?"
"She waited till you two dated! To truly 'steal'!"
"...!"
Seol Harin realized, face stiffening.
As a blond tanning thug, I knew.
Seol Ha-jeong definitely waited.
To steal, it had to be owned first.
"Really... Sis is such a bitch the more I think... No one sees it, pisses me off more..."
Seol Ha-jeong popular enough for president.
Friendly insider vs. haughty noble Seol Harin.
"Sis... definitely gonna try stealing you too..."
Drop.
Transparent tear hit sofa.
Voice hoarse earlier from holding back sobs.
Damn.
Hard to comfort the stolen-constellation victim after stealing one.
But no need to worry.
Her mouth moved on its own anyway.
"Hey! No juicing up!! Sofa'll get dirty?!!"
"..."
This my comfort...?
"You really think I'll fall for that trash?! I'll enslow her and make her your direct sub, so cheer up!!"
"...Thanks. Even if just words, it helps."
Shockingly, Seol Harin wiped tears and perked up at this crap.
Maybe her inner ear has a machine?
My words auto-translate to sweet nothings...
"Dunno if sis will submit. Stubborn and shameless..."
"Hey! Don't doubt this body!!"
"No doubt. I believe you."
Seol Ha-jeong leads student council.
With strong minions.
But no worry.
I'm a vet!
Two keywords to crush her!
Guidance Committee!
And the Academy Head...!
First, tomorrow's 'Student Council Return Event.'
At the Guidance Committee performance review.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Crowds bustled before the auditorium.
All Ark personnel forced to attend Guidance Committee review.
Ostensibly showcasing justice metrics,
Really a wicked event to oust me, Kim Taeyang.
They thought it justice... whatever.
I won't crumble here.
Cloé's totally hooked...!
"Halt."
"Hah?"
Entering auditorium, Shin Hye-won and Guidance Committee stopped me.
"Kim Taeyang. Heard you fought a kraken in training. Body intact, lucky."
"Ahh- Kraken was a bore."
"Still arrogant... Won't see that gross grin after today. Heh."
"Heh heh heh heh-"
Shin Hye-won smirked sinisterly.
Her Guidance crew same.
Why advertise your evil plot...?
"Anyway, Vice Head. Weird rumors in school lately?"
"W-Wh-Wh-What rumors? I heard nothing... Don't believe dumb rumors...! Hurry sit...!"
"Hah? Didn't even say which, how you disbelievein', swordie?"
"Phone...! Head! Coming!!"
Shin Hye-won clutched blank smartphone screen, fled.
No call obvious...
She left, then Kim An-kyung yapped like chihuahua.
"Kim Taeyang! Armband back soon...!"
"What bs? How with those twigs? Huh?! You even exercise?!! Armband won't fit pipe cleaners!!!"
"You bastard...! Justice ain't in arm size!! This chest!! Pure from heart!!!"
"How much justice in pigeon chest?!! Work out pleeease!!! Skinny and squishy...! Total hero dropout body?!!!"
"Guh...! D-Don't touch!! Think my body's toy?!!"
Mid-taunting Kim An-kyung, Cloé intervened.
"Stop. Can't forgive bullying kids."
"Hah? Advice, not bullying."
"Anyway, An-kyung hates it."
No one knows Cloé's my slave yet.
Reveals today, but hiding till then per orders.
She's damn good actress.
Feels too real even knowing.
"An-kyung. Prep presentation. I'll handle Taeyang."
"P-President... You sure?"
"Of course. Forgot who I am? Don't fold to thugs."
"As expected...! Respect!!"
Kim An-kyung and crew entered.
I pulled mini massager from pocket-
Vrrrrm.
And wrecked Cloé's traps.
"Eek...?!!!"
She jolted, shoulders shaking.
"Hey mini sow. Siding other guys before me? Huh?!"
"F-F-Forgib...!!"
"Cheeky supplement sewer...! 'Low' won't make you pop that flimsy fascia!!"
"Gooood...♡ So gooood...♡ Muscles melting awesome...♡ Fascia release...♡ Blood flow...♡ Recovery goooood...♡"
Cloé handles review presentation.
She's the one exposing faked evidence.
Already massager slave.
"Prepped right?"
"Swapped USB alreaaady... No worry... Fakes won't showww...♡"
"Nail it, special leg day till blackout tonight. Brace yourself."
"Thaaanks...♡"
Shiver...!
Glutes, quads, hammies tingling at peak pleasure leg workout.
For that, Cloé betrays Guidance Committee today...!!
