Chapter 9 : Third Night: Quite Impressive Now

Though she didn’t know what this vampire was up to, binding herself in such a lewd manner, Selunia was truly struggling to keep her composure.

Selunia soaked the whip thoroughly with holy water, inside and out.

Then, with a cold gaze, she looked at the silver-haired girl, whose mouth was gagged with a ball, only able to let out muffled whimpers of “mmph, mmph.”

Selunia no longer cared about her original purpose for coming here, nor did she worry about whether this vampire might turn the tables and kill her.

At this moment, all Selunia wanted was to seize this opportunity to vent the pent-up frustration in her heart.

With a crack, the whip lashed out, leaving a red mark swiftly across Lilith’s pale, almost ghostly white skin.

Oh, that felt good!

Lilith let out a delighted whimper, arching her slender, swan-like neck.

The silver-haired vampire loli wriggled her body in excitement, as if the lashes hadn’t caused her any pain at all.

Instead, they seemed to stir a faint, perverse thrill within her.

Though it was this half-vampire girl whipping her… which made Lilith feel slightly less satisfied.

It was like engaging in a shameful play with a distant relative—awkward, to say the least.

But setting that aside, in a way, she was being whipped by a loli nun.

That was thrilling!

Lilith wouldn’t have felt pain from such an attack to begin with.

The purifying holy water’s sting was, to her, no more than a splash of warm water—a cozy warmth spreading through her belly.

All the effort she’d put into magically binding herself like this hadn’t been in vain!

To play along with the SM vibe, Lilith forced a few tears from the corners of her eyes, making herself look pitiable, trembling like a bullied little animal.

If you’re going to play, you’ve got to make it feel real.

Isn’t that what the “S” side loves—seeing the “M” show such an expression?

She hadn’t expected this little one to be so into it, even knowing how to play SM.

Or perhaps she’d just instinctively figured it out in the heat of the moment? Lilith had initially thought Selunia would ignore her, all tied up like this.

What a little genius! You really couldn’t underestimate the heroes of the world.

Selunia, preparing to swing the whip again, froze when she saw Lilith’s teary, pitiful expression.

Honestly… the vampire’s aggrieved look, with tears in her eyes, tugged at the heartstrings, as if she were silently pleading with Selunia, questioning why she was being treated this way.

After all, this vampire looked… just like a girl around her own age.

Paired with that heart-wrenching gaze, it truly made anyone who wanted to hurt her feel overwhelming guilt, as if they were defiling something pure.

She was crying… Had Selunia gone too far?

Selunia’s body suddenly shuddered, and she realized something was off.

There was no way this wretched vampire would cry from a single lash!

That day, when Selunia had sliced her in half at the waist, this vampire had still turned around and fought back!

This pitiful act was clearly fake!

To think she’d almost felt sympathy for this despicable bloodsucker!

Furious at nearly being swayed by Lilith’s facade, Selunia’s anger flared even hotter.

She, a battle nun trained from childhood in the Tribunal, had almost lost her resolve in a single moment!

Hmph! This vampire must rely on such powerful deception and her lewd body to seduce naive girls in the monastery, luring them to willingly become her food!

Thinking of all the depraved things this vampire had done in the monastery lately—not just to the students but also to the nuns tasked with interrogating and guarding her, all humiliated by this vampire—Selunia felt Lilith deserved death a thousand times over!

No wonder Selunia was so enraged.

If word got out that the monastery’s female students and nuns had been defiled by a vampire, the monastery’s reputation, built over years, would be ruined!

Even the Holy Saintess, away on a mission, might be implicated!

Selunia absolutely couldn’t allow that noble Saintess to face any slander.

But why? Why had those noble ladies, tormented by this vampire, actually fallen for her?

The monastery could barely contain these incidents any longer.

Those highly proactive young ladies had already begun searching for this vampire’s whereabouts!

Selunia strongly suspected that the vampire in front of her was using mind-control magic. But when nuns skilled in purification spells were called to examine the girls, there was no trace of mental manipulation. Those girls had genuinely fallen in love…

Selunia gritted her teeth, glaring at the silver-haired girl before her, staring into those ever-unfading crimson eyes.

As someone with half-vampire blood, Selunia couldn’t help but feel even more disgust.

Unlike herself, this tightly bound girl was a pureblood vampire—a dangerous race that fed on human blood, a creature utterly devoid of a heart.

Otherwise, this vampire wouldn’t have toyed with so many innocent girls! Vampires could never truly feel love for humans.

They manipulated others’ emotions only to feed more easily.

Without love, as long as they could drink blood, any human would do for a vampire! They had no sense of normal ethics—a filthy, impure species!

Every time Selunia saw this pureblood vampire, it painfully reminded her of the other half of her own bloodline—the repulsive, inhuman part.

It made her increasingly agitated.

Crack!

Without hesitation, she swung the whip again, as if trying to unleash all the anger that had built up over these days.

Selunia shouted at Lilith, “You wretch! Have you no shame at all? Five innocent girls are losing sleep and neglecting their studies because of you! They were meant to have bright futures, but you’ve ruined their purity! They’ve fallen for a monster like you… all because of you! The situation outside is a complete mess!”

Red welts bloomed across Lilith’s body.

Lilith, in turn, rolled her eyes.

Just moments ago, she’d praised this girl as a genius, but now Selunia had fully revealed herself—a dull, unrefined person who turned a perfectly good SM scene into a one-sided emotional outburst.

The whip was supposed to be a playful prop, not a tool for venting!

This girl really didn’t get it.

After venting for a while, Selunia, panting heavily, lowered the whip.

Her face was flushed from exertion.

She looked at Lilith, who had long stopped pretending to be pitiful.

The vampire’s nonchalant gaze made it seem as though the lashes were nothing more than air.

As expected, those earlier tears were fake.

“You… you!” Selunia spat.

“If you keep doing these things, I’ll stop you! I won’t let you lay a hand on anyone else in the monastery, you blood-drinking monster! Next time, I’ll shove my sword’s hilt up your nose!”

Lilith chuckled, thinking how weak this girl’s insults were.

As expected of a half-vampire raised in a monastery—how could she have ever faced an opponent as tricky as Lilith?

If Lilith hadn’t been in the mood to play the “M,” she could have used the same tactics she’d employed against the interrogating nuns.

Selunia would likely have ended up a blushing, sobbing mess, leaving a puddle of shame on the floor before fleeing, just like those nuns.

“…”

Selunia was at a loss.

She felt this vampire was mocking her, laughing at her incompetence at every turn.

After a long pause, Selunia suddenly realized something was off about the scene.

It was as if she were playing some bizarre game with this vampire.

She wasn’t completely naive—sex education was part of the monastery’s curriculum, and the Tribunal sometimes collaborated with the city guard and inspection agencies on missions.

During one task involving nobles forcing women into prostitution, Selunia had glimpsed scenes of those poor women being abused, despite the older nuns quickly covering her eyes.

This moment felt like a reenactment of that scene.

Selunia’s face visibly reddened, her entire expression burning with embarrassment.

She finally understood why the vampire had bound herself like this—she was waiting for someone to whip her! And Selunia had fallen right into her trap!

Lilith, seeing Selunia’s face grow even redder, felt a mischievous thrill.

She bit through the gag in her mouth and spat it out.

“What, done already? Not bad for a weakling—two minutes is pretty impressive for you~” she teased.

“Weakling~ Weakling~ Need big sister to teach you how it’s done?”
