“Louise-chan’s mission is complete~”
Louise patted her hands in satisfaction, stepped forward, and pulled Kanzaki Yoruha into a big hug.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked toward the basement door.
Right before closing it, she turned her head and gave Kanzaki Yoruha a playful wink.
“Have fun, you two~”
Click.
The heavy secret door shut.
The basement was left with only the two of them.
A deathly silence fell once more.
The air grew so oppressive it felt hard to breathe.
Kanzaki Yoruha slowly turned around.
The pure, panicked act she had put on in front of Louise had completely vanished. In its place was a meaningful, cold smirk.
That little female imp Su Ruanruan had actually dared to act smug and mock her while Louise was there, even yelling about making her spend the rest of her life behind bars!
She walked with elegant steps, her shoes making muffled thuds on the carpet, approaching the curled-up Su Ruanruan in the suitcase one step at a time.
A black shadow spread over the girl like an airtight net, completely engulfing her petite body.
Kanzaki Yoruha bent down, in an excellent mood, and pulled the fabric out of Su Ruanruan’s mouth.
“Why… Why are you bullying me like this… You pervert!”
Su Ruanruan’s voice had gone hoarse.
Tears flowed mechanically as she could only repeat the same feeble curses.
Kanzaki Yoruha wasn’t annoyed at all.
Instead, she thoroughly enjoyed the sight of Su Ruanruan falling apart.
She reached out with two fingers, pinched Su Ruanruan’s chin hard, and forced her tear-stained face upward.
A sick, delighted gleam filled her eyes.
“Weren’t you acting so smug earlier? Weren’t you going to report me and send me to prison?”
Kanzaki Yoruha leaned closer, savoring Su Ruanruan’s deathly pale face, and sneered.
“What about now? Still feeling cocky, huh?”
“I spit— Mmph?!”
Su Ruanruan tried to spit in her face, but she was horrified to discover that her body refused to obey!
Kanzaki Yoruha coldly uttered two words: “Kneel. Call me Master.”
Su Ruanruan watched helplessly as her own body crawled out of the suitcase and dropped heavily to her knees at Kanzaki Yoruha’s feet.
Her mouth opened against her will, forcing out the most humiliating tremor: “M-Master…”
“Good girl.”
Kanzaki Yoruha released her hand in satisfaction.
She turned, walked to the bed, and dragged out a large black box she had prepared long ago.
When the box opened, it was filled with an array of utterly shameful outfits.
Kanzaki Yoruha rummaged through them and pulled out a black cat-ear headband along with a fluffy tail attached to some black fabric.
The moment Su Ruanruan saw it, her face drained of all color.
Even her lips turned bloodless.
“No… Don’t! Please, Kanzaki Yoruha! I was wrong, please let me go…”
Su Ruanruan scrambled backward in terror and collapsed onto the carpet, arms wrapped tightly around herself.
Kanzaki Yoruha was delighted by her frightened expression.
She squatted down, stroked Su Ruanruan’s soft silver hair with wicked amusement, and flipped the item around, shoving it right in front of her eyes.
It turned out to be nothing more than a tail glued to the outside of black lace panties—not at all what Su Ruanruan had imagined.
“What kind of filth is going on in that head of yours?”
Kanzaki Yoruha sneered, tossing the skimpy outfit onto Su Ruanruan’s tear-stained face.
“Take off your clothes and put this on. Right in front of me. Now.”
“I don’t want to… Please…!”
Su Ruanruan shook her head desperately, eyes full of pleading.
But the next second, under the brand’s control, her hands lifted on their own.
Tears streaming down her face, Su Ruanruan could only watch helplessly as her own fingers began stripping her clothes away piece by piece.
The overwhelming humiliation made her sob brokenly.
“I hope you die horribly… Kanzaki Yoruha, you pervert! Demon! I curse you…”
Listening to the curses, Kanzaki Yoruha walked over to the single sofa and sat down elegantly.
“Curse louder. The more you curse, the more excited I get.”
Kanzaki Yoruha even raised an eyebrow wickedly.
“By the way, do you prefer a pink ball gag later, or a black leather collar with bells?”
The last thread of sanity in Su Ruanruan’s mind snapped with a crack.
While Kanzaki Yoruha had not yet issued a “don’t move” command, she suddenly lunged forward like a cornered little beast.
She opened her mouth, bared her sharp fangs, and sank them viciously toward Kanzaki Yoruha’s wrist!
But her teeth never even touched the skin.
Buzz—!!
The brand on Su Ruanruan’s lower abdomen erupted with blinding scarlet light.
“Ah—!!”
An excruciatingly powerful electric current of punishment shot through Su Ruanruan’s entire body.
Her petite frame arched backward violently onto the carpet, convulsing hard and helplessly.
No one knew how long it lasted before the current finally stopped.
Su Ruanruan lay there gasping in agony, every muscle twitching uncontrollably.
Kanzaki Yoruha squatted down. Her cold voice came from above.
“Now, are you obedient?”
Su Ruanruan lay weakly on the carpet, her bloodshot eyes filled with pain.
Retreat while fighting for now… A great Witch knows when to bend and when to stand tall.
Kanzaki Yoruha was tormenting her only because she wanted to see Su Ruanruan submit.
In that case, why not turn the tables?
If she pretended to give in and made the other girl happy, Kanzaki Yoruha would definitely lower her guard.
As long as she could trick her into removing the restraints and earn the freedom to move around the house, she would find a chance to escape!
As long as the mountain remains green, there will always be firewood!
With that thought, Su Ruanruan bit the tip of her tongue hard and put on an extremely convincing expression of someone completely broken and pitiful.
She reached out with a trembling hand, gently clutched the edge of Kanzaki Yoruha’s shoe, and spoke in a hoarse, tearful voice as if truly surrendering.
“I… I submit… Yoruha, Ruanruan was wrong… Please don’t shock me anymore…”
Kanzaki Yoruha watched her quietly.
After knowing each other for so many years, she knew perfectly well that this little rascal Su Ruanruan was definitely plotting how to coax her and seize a chance to run.
But she had no intention of exposing it.
Watching her prey put on such a diligent, self-satisfied performance was strangely entertaining.
“Oh? Since you’ve submitted, then show me your sincerity.”
Kanzaki Yoruha leaned back into the sofa again, crossing her long legs.
Her gaze landed teasingly on the cat ears atop Su Ruanruan’s head and the tail behind her.
“Dressed like this, you should act like a pet. Now get on all fours and crawl for me.”
Su Ruanruan bit her lower lip hard. The humiliation nearly drowned her.
But driven by the need to “earn her freedom,” she kept brainwashing herself furiously: This is just an act! Once I get out, I’ll make her pay back every bit of dignity I lost today—with interest!
She took a deep breath, forced back the tears welling in her eyes, planted her hands on the floor, and assumed the most standard, most humiliating all-fours position.
“What’s the fun in just crawling? Circle around me, and meow while you do it.”
Kanzaki Yoruha’s voice was like a devil’s whisper.
Su Ruanruan’s whole body stiffened.
But under that icy stare, she could only move like a real pet cat, slowly circling Kanzaki Yoruha’s feet.
With every crawl, the cat tail behind her swayed.
“Meow…”
She kept her head down and forced a weak, off-key meow from her throat.
“Too quiet. Did you forget to eat?”
“Why… Why do you have to say such mean things…”
