“G-Go ahead and hit me until my hip bones shatter! I’ll hold back my screams if you tell me to, or scream if you want! So please…….”
Her round ass, wrapped only in the thinnest layer of tights that revealed its perfect outline, wiggled toward me. I stared down at it, utterly speechless.
Pechi, who had been lying there face-down for a moment, pleaded even more desperately when she realized I had no intention of spanking her.
“W-Wait, is it because I’m still wearing clothes? I can take them off to make it easier to—”
“Put them on.”
“Y-Yes, sir!”
She was seriously about to strip off her tights, so the moment her ass crack started peeking out, I ordered her to put them back on. Pechi hurriedly pulled them up as instructed.
Truth be told, whether she wore them or not, the coverage was barely different. Even now, the plump flesh at the bottom of her cheeks was fully on display.
Still, the fact that she was wearing something made all the difference. There was a world of difference between having something on and being completely naked.
Sometimes, wearing something could feel even more dizzyingly erotic, but that was the exception.
*What the hell?*
That summed up my feelings perfectly in a nutshell. I’d thought I’d left her in good hands with Lize, so I had no idea why she’d turned into a masochistic sow.
What the hell had they done to her? I turned my gaze toward them. Nix was fidgeting with her fingers in front of her chest while sneaking glances at the person next to her, and Lize—who was probably that person—averted her eyes from mine.
“Lize. What did you do here? Spill it, step by step.”
“W-What did I do?”
Lize’s face flushed with guilt as she tried to deny it, but she seemed to know it was too late to backpedal now. She looked sheepish as she met my eyes again.
“Fine. You’re right, Delta. It’s my fault.”
“What exactly did you do to make her beg for... this?”
I almost blurted out, *This kind of request that’s totally your style, Lize?* but caught myself just in time. We’d actually done stuff like that before, so I nearly slipped up.
Thankfully, there was a brief pause in my words, but Nix didn’t seem to notice, and Lize was too busy making excuses to care. Dodged a bullet there.
“No, no, I didn’t do anything major. You asked me to watch her, so I wouldn’t go that far, right?”
“So you admit to doing something minor.”
“Well...”
Lize walked over with a sheepish expression. She couldn’t deny it in good conscience. Nix toddled after her with quick little steps.
“…….”
With no sign of me spanking her and me starting a conversation while ignoring her, Pechi cautiously lifted her head. Her hot-pink pupils slyly scanned me.
“U-Um, Delta? My ass—”
“Hey, shut it, will you? You think you can just dive into spanking play without a care in the world? Even I haven’t tried that a few times.”
“E-Eek! I’m sorry!”
Pechi slammed her head back to the ground. But her ass kept wiggling toward me.
I’d been too flustered to notice at first, but now I saw her back was hunched over. It looked like she was protecting her stomach so her knees wouldn’t press into it.
“Why’d spanking play come up?”
“Even if she says that, you’re not really gonna smash her hip bones, right? That’s just spanking. Trust me, I’ve taken hits from you—it feels kinda good. I nearly came once.”
“……Forget it. I shouldn’t have asked. Just explain what you did.”
I awkwardly changed the subject.
She wasn’t wrong. I had no intention of hitting Pechi at all, let alone hard enough to break bones. And I wasn’t confident I’d win an argument with Lize over sex talk.
Continuing this conversation would only hurt me.
“Like you said, I kept her from leaving and gave her a little... education while I was at it. Even if it was all part of your plan, she still scammed us.”
“I get that part. And?”
“We couldn’t let her get hurt anywhere serious, right? So I played around a bit, tossed her a potion to drink, then played some more and tossed another when it wore off.”
“Potions? The ones I bought for her?”
“Yeah. You said to use them however since we had no use for them.”
There were times I’d needed HP potions to recover when using bloodied swords, but now with my vampiric urges, I really had no use for them.
So I’d said to use them freely, but...
*...Hold on.*
I suddenly had a feeling I knew why Pechi was acting like this.
“How many did you give her?”
“Let’s see. I stopped counting midway... about fifteen? No, maybe more?”
“Exactly fifteen bottles. Hehe. I just counted.”
Nix pointed to the glass vials scattered in one corner.
Using the potions wasn’t an issue. I’d bought them with my money, but they were useless to me anyway. Just items I’d grabbed to fulfill event conditions...
“Did you control your strength properly when you hit her?”
“You think I couldn’t manage that much?”
“Then why give her that many potions if there were no wounds?”
High-grade potions didn’t heal everything with just a few drops. Potions had very strict standard dosages, in both the Empire and the Holy Kingdom.
The high-grade potions I’d bought from Pechi were 150ml each. Normally split into 2-3 doses. And she’d chugged 15 bottles?
That was over 2 liters by simple math. Her stomach hadn’t burst was a miracle.
“What if there were hidden wounds?”
Lize grinned. It was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing.
A knight commander of her skill and rank wouldn’t hold back against a scammer like Pechi, and she’d know potions drunk without wounds were just water.
She deserved payback for trying to scam us, even if it was part of my plan. But since there was no real damage, beating her outright felt off, so she’d tormented her this way.
Potions were still potions, even force-fed. Any side effects would be healed right away. Clever thinking.
*Now I get why she’s like this.*
I looked at Pechi, still presenting her ass while hunching her waist forward.
Her awkward hunch made sense now—the massive amount of potion sloshing in her belly meant she was avoiding pressure on it.
The fastest way to get rid of the liquid was to take damage and burn through it, which explained her begging for a spanking. That solved most of the mystery.
“Why the ass, though?”
“Beats me. Ask the one face-down.”
Everything but that one thing.
If she wanted wounds to consume the potion, a stab would do. Why beg for a spanking specifically?
Lize tilted her head at my question, as if to say, *Why ask me?*
“Hey, you hear that? Why the ass out of everywhere else?”
Pechi’s blue eyes—wait, no, her pupils were hot pink—dropped to the floor. As the topic turned to her, she timidly raised her upper body. Her lower half stayed kneeling.
Her hand hovered near her side, probably sore. She’d rushed over to me, after all.
“G-Getting stabbed or slashed hurts too much... But the ass? I figured I could handle that... s-so...”
Even more ridiculous than I’d thought. Just didn’t like the pain—classic scammer cowardice.
“You told me it’s fine to hit you until your hip bones break. Stabbing hurts too much, but breaking hip bones is okay?”
“Th-That’s... Hip bones don’t show even if they break, so...?”
“Nice try.”
“Getting stabbed with a sword doesn’t even hurt that much. I’ve taken plenty.”
While I was dumbfounded by her *they don’t show so it’s fine* logic, Lize tossed out a deadpan joke. It sounded like one, but with Lize, it was probably experience talking.
I gave Nix a look. If she was scared of blades, there was an easier way. Nix caught on, summoned black flames in her hand, and unleashed them on Pechi.
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
A piercing scream rang out as Pechi rolled in the black flames, flailing her limbs. The flames clinging to her body died out in under three seconds. Her scream cut off too.
“There we go, hehe. I burned exactly ten potion’s worth, so she’s good.”
I patted her head in approval. Nix grabbed my wrist and rubbed her head against my hand even harder.
Lize’s eyes narrowed jealously at the sight. It screamed *Why not me?*, so I placed my other hand on her head. Her expression melted instantly.
“Ugh... it hurts...”
As I stroked both their faces thoroughly, Pechi groaned in pain and sat up. Thanks to the potions, her body was spotless despite being scorched head to toe.
“Huh...?”
Yeah. Spotless. Not a thread left.
“Kyaaaa! My clothes! My clothes!”
Pechi glanced down absentmindedly, realized her tights had burned away leaving her naked, and shrieked while frantically covering herself.
One arm over her nipple tips, the other hand between her legs. At least her breasts were small enough for one arm—Lize and Nix could never manage that.
*Wearing them or not was basically the same anyway, right?*
Coverage-wise, it was no different clothed or not, but I’d seen enough reality-warping common sense to let it slide.
At least clothes covered nipples and privates.
“Hiiiing...”
While I pondered the purpose of clothing seriously, Pechi shuffled backward cringing, grabbed her coat, and threw it on.
“F-Feels so weird...”
Ending up as a pervert in just a coat made her face crumple. Did she realize walking around with the coat open exposed even more?
“If you’re dressed, come here.”
I preferred this outfit, so I beckoned her. She scurried over.
“Pechi.”
“Y-Yes, Delta sir.”
I considered correcting the “sir,” but let it go. It’d reinforce the hierarchy better.
“You get it by now, right? That I deliberately spared you.”
“Y-Yes. I do. Thank you.”
She nodded vigorously. Scammer’s instincts—top-notch awareness.
“Then you know why I spared you?”
“......Yes. You have a job for me?”
“Correct.”
Her pink pupils trembled briefly, then settled.
“Got it.”
“Good. The thing you need to fetch—”
“I’d never sell my body, let alone for free... but if my first time is with a hunk like you, it’s not so bad.”
“Sell what?”
“There’s no other reason to keep trash like me ali—Eek?!”
Pechi, rambling in her huge misunderstanding, shut up and trembled at Lize—who was glaring daggers while fiddling with a dagger.
“Not that kind of weird request. Don’t assume on your own.”
“......Hic, sorry. So what do you want...?”
“Just fetch one item for me.”
It was originally the final reward for Pechi’s side quest. Required getting backstabbed about four times to obtain.
In the game, it was only available this way, so no clue otherwise.
“What item?”
Her pink pupils shook anxiously. Wondering how huge a demand this life-debt fetch would be.
“The Golden Key.”
Pechi’s eyes went wide at my words.
