Chapter 18: Is it funny to get caught drugging someone?

“Brother, how much longer until your five-star gourmet meal is ready?”
After watching Charlotte busying herself intensely in the kitchen for over ten minutes, Yukina, whose stomach was rumbling, couldn’t help but anxiously hurry her.

“Don’t rush, Yukina! As they say, slow work yields fine results. It takes a lot of time to perfectly balance the umami flavor inside the ingredients.” Charlotte, in contrast, was unhurried.

“Am I going to have to wait until night to eat?” Yukina complained, slumping onto the table.

“It won’t be that long. Don’t worry, it’ll definitely be ready within ten minutes.”

“Ten more minutes?”

Yukina fiddled with the remote control, constantly flipping through TV channels, trying to find a program she was interested in to pass the boring waiting time.

After flipping through everything, she couldn’t find a single satisfactory show. Yukina sighed.

“I’m so bored… Oh, right, brother, show me the rest of the story we didn’t finish last night.” Yukina had completely treated Charlotte’s experiences in the other world like a new anime season, urging Charlotte to play it quickly.

“Hmm? Didn’t you say yesterday you didn’t want to continue watching? Why the sudden interest?”

“I’m not exactly curious about your story, it’s just that I’m genuinely bored right now. You don’t have to play too much, just ten minutes of the plot is enough.”

“Only ten minutes? I’m afraid you’ll just rush me to watch another episode then.” Charlotte, holding the pan in one hand, freed the other to prepare the memory playback. “Where did we leave off yesterday?”

“The episode where you drugged your sister.”

“Drugged? Which time?”

“You’ve drugged your cute little sister more than once?! You piece of shit brother!”

“Uh… I think I remember which time it was.”

“I want to see you severely punished right now. Don’t tell me you’ve gotten away with drugging your sister all those times.”

“No, actually, I was hung up and beaten by Mom Rhynes the very next day. Just watch and you’ll see the details.”

As Charlotte said this, she cast the memory playback magic, and the surroundings once again transformed into the style of the other world’s home.

Rhynes was sitting in a chair. Little Shaula was crying uncontrollably in her arms, her face all red, which was evidence of just how strong the pill’s effects were.

Rhynes was also staring angrily at little Charlotte, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, admitting her mistake.

‘Drugging her sister, this girl cannot be allowed to stay!’

Yukina fully expected Rhynes to give little Charlotte a few lashes of her whip to teach her a lesson. However, Rhynes didn’t do that. Instead, she turned her head and glared fiercely at the other side of the room.

“Hmm?” Yukina looked in the direction of the gaze and was startled to see a small cage in the corner of the room. Inside the cage, Chloe had been stripped of her witch’s uniform and was kneeling only in a house dress, clutching the iron bars with tears in her eyes.

“Master, please spare me! I won’t dare to do it again!”

‘Holy sh*t, there’s a master here too!’

Seeing this, Yukina was instantly energized and sat straight up in her chair.

“Chloe, you’re quite bold. Not only did you take my money and fail to do what I asked, but you even intensified things by teaching Charlotte magic, and then you instigated Charlotte to drug her sister! It looks like if I don’t give you a good lesson this time, you won’t know your place!”

Rhynes waved her hand, and a small whip fell into her grasp from a dimensional space. The whip’s tip was inlaid with sharp jewels. A few lashes would surely make Chloe’s butt bloom into a magnificent red flower.

“Master… wait… it’s all a misunderstanding! I never instigated your child to drug her sister! I wanted her to drug you, not her sister!”

Seeing Ms. Rhynes pull out her specialty little whip, Chloe was instantly terrified and hurriedly tried to defend herself, only to inadvertently blurt out an even worse answer.

Hearing this reply, Rhynes was slightly surprised, realizing Chloe was also a rebellious disciple who would turn against her master. But then her expression turned dark.

“Oh? So your target was me, your Master? What is this, revenge against your Master?”

“It’s not revenge! I just wanted to play a little trick on you, Master. I had no other intentions! Besides, this pain-transfer pill wasn’t invented by me; it was Mashiro’s doing! I just happened to use it. If there’s punishment, it shouldn’t just be for me!”

“Oh? So that child Mashiro made it? No wonder the pill is so pure. It looks like I need to reward her properly.”

This unexpected response caught Chloe, who had been trying to drag Mashiro down with her, completely off guard.

“Eh? Why does Mashiro get a reward? That’s not fair, Master, you’re so biased!”

“It’s because you’re always trying to pull off some big scheme! Even mischief has a limit. Mashiro is much more obedient. She does whatever I ask without any complaint. You, on the other hand, tried to drag such a well-behaved child into this. With a malicious nature like that, I need to correct you properly!”

Rhynes raised her little whip and began to lash out mercilessly at Chloe, who was trapped in the cage with nowhere to escape.

“Ahhh— Master, stop… Your disciple knows she was wrong… I won’t dare to do it next time… I’m going to die if you keep this up…”

“You can still scream so loudly, it looks like you can handle a lot more!”

“I don’t mean that… Ah… Ah… Oh…” Her screams were mixed with a moan of pleasure.

Yukina watched the entire process of Chloe’s punishment with an expressionless face.

“Wait, I’m watching this?”

It had to be said that Rhynes’s punishment was truly terrifying. In no time at all, she had whipped Chloe’s entire body raw and bleeding, the blood staining the entire cage.

Just as Chloe was about to breathe her last, Rhynes used holy magic to completely heal her injuries.

Then she raised her whip and continued to beat Chloe raw and bleeding again.

‘Good lord, she’s desecrating her body, isn’t she?’

After several rounds of execution, even after being healed, Chloe still had a lifeless expression, lying in the cage, drooling and saying, “ababa.”

It was clear she had been utterly broken by Rhynes.

Rhynes then shifted her gaze to little Charlotte, walking over with the whip still dripping with Chloe’s blood.

Seeing this, the corners of Yukina’s mouth were practically grinning up to her ears.
‘Finally, it’s my brother’s turn to be punished!’

But the result was a huge disappointment to her.

Rhynes walked up to little Charlotte, who was trembling with fear, dropped the whip, bent down, and hugged little Charlotte to her chest. She gently stroked her back and whispered softly.

“Charlotte, don’t be afraid. This wasn’t your fault at all. You were just led astray by a bad woman. You must be careful not to be fooled by bad women easily in the future, and you must protect your family!”

Little Charlotte was stunned. She had fully expected to be severely whipped by Mom Rhynes but instead received a hug. She couldn’t help but shed tears of gratitude.

“Mom, Mom, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I won’t ever do anything like this again!”

“That’s very good, Charlotte is a good child!”

Yukina, standing on the side, wore a look of contempt.

‘She just forgave her brother, who often drugged his sister? It looks like even this Mom Rhynes has times when she misjudges people!’

However, Yukina was wrong. Mom Rhynes had no intention of letting little Charlotte off the hook so easily.

“Alright, as is customary, Mom has to teach an unruly Charlotte a lesson!” The gentle Rhynes suddenly revealed her dark side, pulling down little Charlotte’s small underwear.

“Eh?”

Before little Charlotte could react, Rhynes’s large hand came down on little Charlotte’s buttock.

Instantly, an unprecedented, intense throbbing pain shot through her entire body. Little Charlotte felt as if she were Shang Yang being torn apart by five horses, with unbearable stimulation surging throughout her body.

Because the pill’s effects had long since worn off, little Charlotte was now feeling the full intensity of the pain, which her small body simply could not withstand.

“Mom, please stop… not this time… my… my body is going to split apart…”

Little Charlotte’s face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her expression was one of being completely wrecked. She continuously begged Mom Rhynes to stop.

However, Mom Rhynes had no intention of stopping.

“I can’t do that. If I don’t leave a deep impression, Charlotte will definitely make the same mistake again. Mom is thinking of your future, Charlotte!”

In no time at all, little Charlotte’s eyes rolled back. Like Chloe, she had an expression of being completely broken and passed out in the embrace of Mom Rhynes.

Watching this, the corners of Yukina’s mouth were practically grinning up to the heavens.

“This is exactly what I have always wanted to see!”
