98 98 – Laughs
Yua stood on tiptoe and raised her hands high, exposing her sides and armpits. I tied her hands to the pillar. The kunoichi’s skill was deliberately disabled, so she couldn’t insert the ropes into her body.
“Errr… You haven’t answered what my punishment is, sir.” Despite smiling and using her teasing tone, Yua looked nervous.
I chuckled, this time tying the woman’s legs to the pillar. “Well, it wouldn’t be interesting if I told you now.”
“I think I can guess what Sir Raymund will do to you, Yua,” Anja commented.
“Hey, don’t talk about that, Anja.” I gave a warning.
After finishing tying up Yua’s bare feet, I stood up and lifted the large feather I had just bought from Anja. The kunoichi’s chin immediately dropped.
“Y-you’re kidding, right?” Yua gulped, and the nervousness on her face became even more apparent. “I-I’m very sensitive about things like this.”
“Oh, it just gets better.” I started to bring the feather closer to Yua’s armpit. That already made the kunoichi laugh. “Hey, I haven’t done anything to you.”
Her laugh grew louder. I moved the tip of the feather from her armpit to her waist, then back up again. I did that over and over again, making her speechless from laughing too much..
“P-please, stop it, sir!” Yua pleaded, still laughing, and I turned to tickle her chest. “Please…. Kyaaa!!! Hahahaha!!!”
Yua laughed nonstop as I continued to tickle various parts of her body. Her laughter was so loud as I tickled the soles of her feet.
“Please, sir…. I’m not going to repeat what I did to Victor.” From laughing too much, the corners of the kunoichi’s eyes watered, and her breathing became heavy. I don’t know how long I’ve been ‘torturing’ this woman.
I twirled the feather in my hand. “Hmmm…. Why can’t I believe what you’re saying?”
“Is it just my feeling, but you seem to be enjoying it, Yua?” Anja chimed in.
I turned my head to the courier woman, but my eyes were on Elise instead. The female warrior’s face flushed red, facing the other way. Her hands folded across her chest in an awkward position, and she rubbed her thighs against each other.
What’s with that pose?
I had opened my mouth to ask, but a suspicion suddenly appeared to me. With another evil grin, I said. “Looks like you also want to get this punishment, Elise.”
Elise’s body flinched. She looked at me with bulging eyes.
“Don’t be shy.” I started walking to the woman while lifting my feathers. “I would gladly do it for you.”
Elise shook her head. The corners of her lips twitched. “Err…. Thank you, sir. But I don’t want that….”
Seeing my faster pace, she turned and ran.
“Hey, where are you going!?” I chased her while laughing.
“No, sir!!!”
However, after only a few feet of running, Elise stopped in front of her own temple. I also did the same thing because I found something unnatural there.
Where Mona was supposed to be, a naked woman was asleep. Her position is the same as that of a sleeping dog. The neck of the woman with long gray hair was also tied by a leash.
And there’s one more thing that makes my excitement increase many times. There are dog ears on her head!
“Mona?” Elise raised an eyebrow.
The woman opened her eyes, straightened herself, and rubbed her eyes with her clasped hands. Since she was wearing no clothes, I could see every inch of her body uncensored. She has a body shape that is not half-bad, although the size of the assets above and below is still inferior to Yua and Elise’s.
I crouched down and rubbed the dog girl’s head. Mona didn’t fight back and instead looked at me with sparkling eyes.
“Woof! Woof!”
“As I said before, the divine energy in this place will make her transform into a humanoid.” Anja walked closer. “Well, maybe she will also be able to speak our language in the future.”
Elise crouched down too and rubbed the dog’s head. Mona’s barking becomes more energetic.
“Should I remove the leash around her neck?” Elise studied her dog’s slightly pale skin. “She also needs clothes.”
“I suggest you don’t let go of the leash. She will still go berserk even though she is in this form.” Anja answered while rubbing her chin. “As for the clothes, you can buy from me.”
“She doesn’t need clothes, right?” I chimed in. Seeing the two women squinting at me, I shrugged. “I mean, she doesn’t seem to mind this. All this time, she didn’t wear any clothes when she was a pet, right? Besides, if she goes back into the shape of a big dog, her clothes might tear.”
Mona gave a cheerful bark as if agreeing with my opinion.
Meanwhile, Anja and Yua narrowed their eyes even more. And I just happened to get a call.
“I have to answer this.” I chuckled, then left the two women. “Hi, Renee. I didn’t think I would be happy to hear a call from you.”
“In that case, thank God.” Renee sounded very excited. “Well, how’s Elise? She’s fine, right? I have something interesting to do!”
I sighed. A conversation with Renee would not be far from something like this. This woman always insisted on seeing Elise again. “Now, what monster do you want to fight?”
“No, it’s not about monsters, sir!” Renee’s voice sounded like that of a child who had just received the gift of her dreams. “It’s a tournament!”
“Tournament?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Yes, I got an invitation to join a tournament from a big conglomerate. They are looking for great and unique fighters.” Renee explained. “They were very excited to invite me, but I asked for one condition. Elise must be included.”
This is interesting. “Is there prize money?”
There was a pause from Renee. “Well, there’s a prize of 15,000 Z for the grand winner. It’s huge for humans like us, but does it mean anything to a god….”
“Alright, Elise will come along.” I cut off the woman’s words. 15,000 Z is equivalent to 7500 credits in the realm of good. Pretty good money for me. “No, not only her. I’ll send her friend too.”
I did want the money, but I was more interested in the tournament. That’s definitely more fun than just convincing a brat for practice.
“Alright, I might be able to work it out.” Renee sounded doubtful. “The tournament starts in four days, but I’ll be there tomorrow. There’s still time to convince the organizers. They really want me, so they’ll probably agree to my demand.”
“Well, there’s still time for my servants to train.”
