Chapter 49 The Settlement of Betrayal
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After seeing Mishuku Hana off, Riko is the first to speak
”… Really, you’re a crazy person. If it’s an act, tell us it’s an act”
Riko must have been relieved that Hana’s training – or rather, the retaliation and silencing of her – finally ended. She lets out a sigh and turns her gaze to Maria
”Yeah, I agree”
Chihiro agreed with her
Well, the three of them hadn’t had much time to talk in the past few days because of Hana’s training
He had heard about Maria’s situation on Sunday, but had decided not to pursue the matter
That’s why the serious discussion is about to begin
”I’m sorry”
Although an apology had already been received, Maria again expressed her sorry to both of them
This whole thing, Maria’s rude remark to Chihiro and the others, was an act
Maria chose to end it on her own because she could not deal with Hana in a normal way, and there was a possibility that the conflict would drag on
If she cooperated with Chihiro and the others, the possibility of a failure in the plan would increase
Both Chihiro and Riko are sharp when they are on their game, but they are not good at tricks. In addition, they did not know the extent of Hana’s information-gathering ability, so Maria thought it best to avoid risking anything
――In fact, given Maisaka’s involvement, it was probably the right decision to be wary
At the same time, when Chihiro mentioned Hana’s name
Maria realized that Hana was a troublesome opponent, so she decided to jump into her pocket
(Fortunately, I also had the perfect trump card)
Return the pleasure
Maria had saved the special function of [Retaliation] because she had no use for it
At any rate, Maria is too sensitive, and using it on Chihiro would be too much. Riko also hadn’t reached the level of training necessary to use it for lesbian play
She saved it if she was attacked by a thug, which worked out well
[But this makes me hurt him… makes me hurt everyone]
She was planning to shun them and make them hate her
Then, she wanted to atone for all the anger Chihiro and Riko felt with her own body, after capturing Hana and offering her to them
But Chihiro and the others didn’t give up on Maria
They gathered information, got closer to their relationship, and came to persuade Maria
(At that time, I really wanted to entrust this to them)
Surely their methods will work. Even if it’s not the shortest and best way, if it’s the way Chihiro and the others want, maybe it’s better to cooperate with them
Or maybe it would be better to just tell them what’s going on and be at ease
That’s what Maria thought, but she decided not to do it now that she had come this far
After all, half-heartedness is the worst
Besides, when she was called to the park, the preparation was not yet completed. And in fact, she had planned to call Hana after the sports festival was over and the closing ceremony was over. That way, they would have more time to keep Hana locked up
However, when she saw how impatient Chihiro and the others were, she couldn’t afford to delay
But, in order to buy some more time, she hurt Chihiro, while avoiding his legs and his crotch, which was very important, and immediately contacted Hana
She invited her to her apartment, caught her off guard, and then restrained her back
The rest is as Chihiro and the others know
[But why? You have no use for me after I lost my ability to read minds, right?]
[No. Even if you lose your ability, you’re the Master I’ve chosen. There’s no way I’m just going to abandon you. If there’s a way to get rid of Hana-san, I’ll do whatever it takes to get rid of her]
But that includes betraying Master
Even if it results in being abandoned
However, if she can deal with Hana, then this matter won’t hurt Chihiro too much
[I’m determined. I’m a slave who puts my Master before myself]
But… hurting her master, even to protect him, is unforgivable
Sin is sin
Whoever commits a sin must be punished
Even so, if it results in less damage to Master, it is natural to do so
That’s Maria’s idea of a slave
[I think you’re crazy after all]
[Thank you, Nishizaki-san. It would be more helpful if you could speak clearly]
After hearing Maria’s confession, Chihiro forgave her for the moment
He stopped nagging her and cursing her. He didn’t have much time, and he was afraid that if he started talking, he wouldn’t be able to stop
He put everything on hold and ordered her to cooperate with Hana’s training
Maria solemnly accepted the order
And then, all the anger and sadness and impulses that she had nowhere else to go, she took out on Hana
In hindsight, she thinks she overdid it, but she was so relentless that she was afraid of herself
Even so, Hana’s training was far from complete
After all, she had intended to turn her into a slave to the core
However, since Hana was a more serious lesbian than Maria had expected, and since Hana’s physical strength was limited in three days, and since Chihiro and the others were still too inexperienced to train a virgin, the training was limited to the minimum level
Nevertheless, Hana was released because it was determined that the absolute minimum had been met
[Now, Hana-san can’t harm Izumi-kun anymore. I don’t know what she’ll say, though]
This is what Maria said
To be honest, it’s a bit skeptical, but anyway, they succeeded in making an exchange agreement with Hana
Not only did her actions become restricted, but Maria also prepared candy, so it is unlikely that she will break the agreement
Or, perhaps, the three-day limit was a good thing
If the training had been prolonged, Hana might have become a cripple. Rather than that, it would have been more beneficial to leave her rational, and the timing of this meeting, with the sport festival and the final day of school coming up, would have reduced the risk of being perceived as “giving up on the training”
”Master, please allow me to apologize again. I apologize for my rudeness, and for raising my hand to Master as I did. No matter how many times I bow, I cannot apologize enough”
Maria straightened her posture and knelt in front of Chihiro. Now, she is not wearing her collar. She took it off to take a bath, and now it’s resting in Chihiro’s hands
――The choice of whether to give this collar to her again, I must decide it. But――
(What should I say first?)
Chihiro thought for a few seconds and then opened his mouth
”Thank you, Maria.”
”…Eh?”
Maria looked up at him, rolling her eyes. Chihiro squatted down beside her, smiling at the expression on her face, which was unlike her usual calm demeanor
He put his hand on her head and said..
”Thanks for working so hard for us. Thanks to you, I’ve regained my abilities and I was able to subdue Hana-san”
”Master, but I…”
”Yes”
He nodded
”To be honest, I’m not too happy about it. I mean, having everything taken care of by yourself, it’s like you don’t trust us… and my hand that was stomped on really hurt”
”――”
”So, I will give you an order”
Chihiro put a little pressure on Maria’s head
”From now on, I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself without consulting me. I don’t want you to say things like that, even if it’s a lie. Like I said before, I need Maria”
Slaves are property of their masters
Even if they’re breakable
Chihiro doesn’t want to see his things hurt or broken. Especially if it’s out of his reach
”…Master”
Tears welled up in Maria’s jet-black eyes. Riko saw this and gasped faintly
Chihiro reached out, and Maria jumped into his chest. Maria’s body, smaller and lighter than Chihiro’s, is embraced by him
And then a slightly muffled voice came from Maria
”I promise you. I won’t cause you any trouble like this again”
