Chapter 33: Punishment Game – Part 2
“Okay, we’re ready.”
Megumi said, sitting on the chair.
Two chairs had been placed facing each other at the center of the room. On the other chair, sat Kyouya.
“And what kind of punishment game is this?”
“Kyoro. Did bad thing?”
Shion, who’d been playing chess by herself at the inner part of the room, and Kirara, who’d been eating meat at the sofa, came over with curious looks on their faces.
At the center of the group, Kyouya and Megumi sat while facing each other.
The “punishment game” Megumi had talked about consisted of calling her name 100 times in a row.
Is something like this enough? Kyouya wondered, feeling disappointed. He’d already been carrying the resolution to do 3000 squats.
“Okay, here I go.”
“Okay.”
For some reason, Megumi closed her eyes.
Feeling a bit tense, Kyouya started the “punishment game”.
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
“Yes?”
Getting a reply like that just as he was taking a breath, Kyouya forgot to speak.
That was unexpectedly embarra.s.sing…
“Hey, you’re only at three yet.”
After returning the look Mao gave him, Kyouya continued.
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan… Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
“Yes?”
Megumi was nodding back while smiling.
At around the tenth time Kyouya realized it.
That was one fearsome punishment game.
To think up this kind of punishment game… Megumi was a fearsome girl.
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it a pain to keep saying ‘chan’ over and over again? Just drop the honorific. As her older sister, I’ll allow it.”
Mao mocked him.
Kyouya didn’t give Mao a reply. He just continued to call Megumi’s name.
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
“Yes?”
Megumi nodded along with a completely serene voice.
Kyouya was already red. How many times has it been already? He wondered in his spinning head.
“Come on! Just one more!”
Mao said.
He didn’t believe her at all.
“He’s now at the 31st time I think, so he’s got 69 times to go, right?”
Shion said. 69 to go. I’ll do it all at once.
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
“~~~~~~~~~~”
“(Omitted)”
“~~~~~~~~~~”
“Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan, Megumi-chan…”
Wheezing and breathing roughly, Kyouya wondered absentmindedly how many times he’d said it. He was feeling dizzy from the oxygen deprivation.
“Come on! Just one more! Whoo, whoo.”
He glared hardly at Mao as she mocked him.
She was saying the same thing just a moment ago. There was no way he’d believe her.
“I won’t fall for that one, President.”
“It’s true, you’re at 99.”
Mao said bending her finger. He wasn’t falling for that.
“Ah!”
Megumi’s voice cut in.
Her mouth had fallen open.
“Ah!”
Kyouya realized it too. His mouth fell open accordingly.
The rules were as follows: “Calling Megumi’s name 100 times in a row.”
“Well, guess we’ll have to start over from the beginning, right?”
She had the smile of an angel.
