"So this is what you meant by 'mesugaki'? She really does seem like she deserves a good spanking." After witnessing the entire spectacle unfold before her eyes, Herta finally understood what Lumina meant by "mesugaki."
Someone like Sparkle—bratty, defiant, and begging for discipline...
Could Lumina actually be into this kind of thing? Herta wondered.
No way... Aside from being bratty, defiant, and begging for discipline, I can't think of any redeeming qualities they might have.
Wait, could being bratty, defiant, and begging for discipline be the redeeming quality?
"Right? You see it too," Lumina nodded, her jade-green eyes gleaming mischievously. A faint smile curled her lips as she hatched a mischievous idea.
She moved closer to Herta, her steps steady and deliberate.
Then, under Herta's impassive gaze, Lumina leaned in, bringing her lips close to Herta's ear. A soft puff of warm breath brushed against Herta's ear as she whispered, "Hey, Little Herta, now that you know what 'mesugaki' means, and we have a 'senior' here providing a live demonstration..."
"So?" Herta replied coolly, her expression unchanging and without even turning her head, though she could feel the tingling warmth caressing her ear.
"So... I want to hear that."
"Which that?"
"You know, that one!"
Lumina pressed her small face close to Herta's, her beautiful jade green eyes flashing mischievously at Sparkle, as if signaling something.
Herta: ...
"I don't understand. Please speak like a human being." Seeing this, the genius Herta already knew what Little Lumina wanted, but she pretended to be completely clueless, utterly clueless, utterly incomprehensible, hoping to reject Lumina's request and dissuade her from the idea.
"I just want to hear you, Little Herta, speak in a mesugaki-like tone," Lumina said, wrapping her arms around Herta's arm and swaying it like a little girl pleading.
"Oh, I won't."
Faced with Lumina's girlish pleading, Herta steeled her resolve and cruelly refused.
"Ugh..." Lumina visibly deflated, her disappointment palpable.
"..." Herta found Lumina's expression unbearable, as if she had committed some heinous crime against her. The urge to cave in and grant Lumina's request welled up inside her.
Herta knew that if she let Lumina have her way this time, Lumina would only become even more outrageous in the future. Therefore... she absolutely could not grant Lumina's request!
"Hey... Little Herta, didn't you just say you'd unconditionally grant me one wish?"
"Then let's use it right here~"
"I want to hear you speak to me in a mesugaki tone."
Lumina released her grip on Herta's arm and poked her cheek with a finger, deciding to use her opportunity here.
If I can get one chance from Herta, I can naturally get two, three, or even more chances.
Therefore, Lumina felt no regret at using such a precious opportunity on this.
After all... a mesugaki Herta sounded utterly delightful!
Oh, how I wish I could see it! Little Lumina thought to herself, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she gazed at Herta, seemingly impatient for the mesugaki version of Herta's Main Body to appear before her.
Hearing this, Herta's eyebrow twitched.
Just for such a trivial matter, she's wasting the chance I painstakingly earned with countless tears and acting?
Looks like I still don't understand her...
Herta sighed inwardly before turning her gaze to Lumina to confirm: "Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure you want to use your chance for Unconditional Obedience here?"
As she spoke, Herta deliberately emphasized the words Unconditional Obedience, as if reminding Lumina, If you wanted to use this condition for something a bit... excessive, I wouldn't mind at all.
"Of course! Hurry, hurry, I can't wait any longer!" Lumina, caught up in her excitement, completely missed the implication in Herta's words and urged her on.
Even if Lumina had understood Herta's veiled suggestion, she would never have actually used the condition to make Herta do anything truly bizarre.
After all, she wasn't the "Lesbian Ringleader" Herta seemed to imagine. Lumina simply enjoyed cuddling with beautiful girls and had no interest whatsoever in their bodies.
In other words, her feelings for them were purely familial—there could never be any romantic feelings involved. This was something Lumina was certain, convinced, and absolutely certain of.
Lumina couldn't understand why she had inexplicably become the "Lesbian Ringleader" in Herta's mind.
She tried to make sense of it, but it was utterly beyond her comprehension.
A genius like Herta's thought processes were simply beyond Lumina's ability to grasp.
Perhaps Herta is the only one who would think of me that way, surrounded by so many beautiful girls, Lumina thought with a helpless sigh.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on this. Lumina kept her eyes wide open, fixed on Herta, eagerly awaiting the birth of the mesugaki Herta.
"Alright, alright, I can't refuse you, can I?" Sensing Lumina's intense gaze, Herta rubbed her forehead and sighed in exasperation. "Give me a moment to gather my thoughts first."
"Mhm, no rush! We have plenty of Time. We can take it slow," Lumina nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at grain, her face radiant with anticipation as she continued to watch Herta intently.
Meanwhile, Sunday, Robin, and Miss Sparkle were still bickering, completely oblivious to the intimate proximity and subtly suggestive behavior between the two women.
Why was Robin, a fervent—no, a loyal fan—blind to Lumina and Herta standing right beside her?
It wasn't that Robin's affection for Lumina had waned. Rather, a thin, jade-green membrane enveloped Lumina and Herta, completely obscuring the details of what was happening within.
To outside observers, Lumina and Herta appeared to be standing perfectly still, without any intimate interaction...
Huff... In stark contrast to the outside perception, the figures within the jade-green membrane were pressed so close they nearly merged into one...
Taking a deep breath, Herta mimicked Sparkle's earlier actions, a smirk tugging at her lips as she covered her mouth with one hand, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
"No way~ No way~ Little Lumina, you wouldn't waste your precious opportunity on something like this, would you?"
"No way~ No way~ Little Lumina, you're such a loser! Has no one ever done this to you before?"
"Waaah, poor Little Lumina! How utterly pathetic~"
"How about I show you some mercy and give you a chance~?"
"Kneel down right now and shout 'Long live Madam Herta! Madam Herta a peerless gem!' ten thousand times, and I might just help you out. What do you say?"
"Hehehe, hehehe~"
Little Lumina: ...👊(-_- 💢)
