It’s been five days since I started punishing Titan.
Today, I used the whip I made myself to strike her skin to encourage her to reflect on her actions.
“Titan! Enough! To the Demiurge! Head! Put it down!”
The whip swung a total of five times, carving wounds into Titan’s skin.
“Gogh! I-I’m definitely not, do that… Hiya!!”
However, Titan still showed no sign of remorse, and on the contrary, she looked at us as if she was trying to provoke me.
She stared at me with flushed cheeks, ragged breathing, and a suspicious glint in her eyes.
I thought that no matter how powerful the whip was, if it was used over and over again, day after day, it would start to wear off.
That’s the Titan of God, Titan.
She’s got quite a stubborn spirit, doesn’t she?
Perhaps it’s because he’s such an opponent, but I can’t help but feel my hand tighten as I wield the whip.
“Hii! Aah! Ahiiihh!”
Damn it! Are you making fun of me?
She sounded as if she was taking pleasure in being whipped!
I can’t help but think she’s trying to mock me.
In the first place, anyone who enjoys being whipped is a pervert.
With her mouth half-open, she spits out her hot breath, “Haa, haa…”, and slobbers all over the place, which, to the casual observer, is that of a pervert.
However, Titan is one of the four strongest demons with a lot of pride. There’s no way she’s getting excited over a whip from me.
She’s making fun of me.
If not, I don’t know why he’s smiling that tight, saggy smile of her.
“Kuu… but I’m not giving up. I’ll make sure you reflect on what you’ve done this time!”
I waved the whip at Titan, even though I was aware that I was being a bit stubborn.
◆◇◆◇◆
The first day, I just had to endure the pain…
Every time the whip made from the vine that was being used to beat me rubbed against my skin, I felt a sharp, piercing pain that made me feel numb and tingly.
I was beaten in every part of my body.
Each time, I pulled my lips together and suppressed my voice to keep from screaming.
The pride inside me refused to let me scream at a human being.
But now that I have lost my mana and my defenses are no better than a human’s, even a whip of that magnitude is a lot to bear.
In the first place, I’ve never had an experience in my life where my body was hurt to this extent, not even once.
No one could inflict proper damage on me as a giant in the first place, and even when I received a somewhat powerful blow, I never felt any pain.
But now, I’m being tortured to the greatest extent ever, and I’m enduring a pain that’s tormenting my entire body.
How humiliating…
But I didn’t give in.
Even though the whip gave me red scars all over my body, I persevered. I continued to laugh inappropriately.
But, to my shame, I was also inwardly terrified that I would be punished any longer.
I feel like the worst. At this point, I just wanted to die.
But then suddenly, the human cast a recovery spell on me.
The stimulus disappeared from my body, which had become numb and hot from the pain, like a wave receding.
At that moment, I was aware of a tingling in my body.
At that time, I had no idea what it was.
But every time I experienced the same sensation on the second and third days, my lower abdomen would go numb, and the pit of my stomach would contract as if it were having a seizure.
I realized what this sensation was…
It was a pleasure… that made my lower abdomen slowly heat up.
When I realized this, I felt astonished, ashamed, and even angry at the same time.
My pride was torn to shreds by the fact that I had been pleasured by a human being…
I bit my lip so hard that it bled, and stared at the back of her face as she left the sunset.
But on the fourth day, I realized that I had changed even more.
The human whip, which had been so painful to me…
Every time it was wielded, every time it struck my skin, a tingling sensation began to stimulate my brain.
This sensation was familiar to me. It was the abomination that had so recently begun to consume my mind…
It’s pleasure―――
◆◇◆◇◆
“Haa, haa, haa… damn.”
I couldn’t help but let that voice escape from my mouth.
I’ve been whipping Titan since early morning, and now it’s noon.
The sun had already risen high in the sky, and the sun was shining through the trees.
In the first place, the time when the sun shines in this forest, surrounded by tall trees, is only at noon.
This is because the sunlight is blocked by the slightest inclination.
But that didn’t matter now.
The problem was that the person I had been whipping all morning was still not giving me the response I wanted.
“I never thought she’d be so stubborn…”
Titan’s arms were tied with vines and she was hung up.
Even though she was repeatedly whipped by me, her face was tinged with a smile and she didn’t seem to be holding back at all.
No, on the contrary, this person… looks as if she’s enjoying the situation, doesn’t she?
She is smiling so delightfully that you might think so.
But I know, I know.
She’s trying to get on my nerves.
She’s mocking me, she’s trying to get on my nerves, she’s enjoying the sight of me being angry.
Damn, what a guy.
How can she still afford to provoke me in this situation when she’s hurting herself…?
“Haa, haa, haa… hey, is this it? Not enough… It’s not enough… It’s not enough at all…!”
Her mouth is sloppily open and drooling, her cheeks are flushed and there is a strange intensity in his eyes.
It was the first time I’d ever met someone with this kind of expression.
I don’t know why I’m so intimidated by her.
But I can’t lose here!
With each whip, Titan must feel at least a small amount of pain.
Then we just have to keep going.
Until she feels remorse…
I raised my arm to swing the whip again.
But then,
“Good work, Ares. Demiurge-sama brought you something.”
“Oh, Phoenix.”
Peeking out from between the trees is Phoenix, a young girl with semi-long red hair and long, rainbow-colored frowns.
She was holding a hand full of Holy Apples.
“It’s probably lunchtime, so she told me to take it to you. Why don’t you take a break and have lunch in the shade over there while I take care of Titan?”
She said, and I checked my stomach.
Then, with a *Guu~~~~~~* sound, my stomach started to demand food.
By the way, I hadn’t eaten anything since this morning.
“You’d better eat something. People die from hunger.”
“…Okay. Then I’ll take your word for it.”
I can’t afford to let my mind wander on an empty stomach.
If I were to deal with the current Titan in such a state, I would probably get overwhelmed first.
I think I’ll take a break here to cool down a bit.
“I’ll leave the Titan to you, Phoenix.”
“Yes, yes. Go ahead and get some rest. Take your『 time 』. If you want, why don’t you go take a nap?”
“Haha, that’s too much rest, indeed. But I appreciate the concern.”
“Not really…”
“?”
At the end, I sensed a strange vibe from Phoenix, but I decided to take a break and not worry about it.
There was no need to worry about doing anything to Titan, as Demiurge had already told her to do.
I grabbed a Holy Apple and headed for the shade Phoenix had given me.
◆◇◆◇◆
Gone, I guess…?
I made sure that Ares was out of sight and approached Titan’s side.
“You look like crap, Titan.”
“AAah? What’s this, little thing?”
“You’ve still got attitude, I’ll give you that. You’re a tough guy.”
“Are you trying, fight with me…?”
Titan and I stare at each other.
Even though we are the same four powerful demons created by Demiurge-sama, we are not particularly close.
In the first place, since we flew out into the world, we have continued our activities individually and have not interfered with each other.
That’s why we’re neither on bad terms nor good terms.
But this guy, of all people, messed with Demiurge-sama.
That’s why she’s an object of disgust to me now.
The way she’s being tortured by the humans now, I can’t help but feel sorry for her.
However, she still looks like she has plenty of room for improvement with just the chastisement from Ares.
That’s why I decided to do a little work on him.
“I cannot forgive you. You have rebelled against Demiurge-sama, the Creator, and even if you are given 10,000 deaths, the sins that have seeped into your body cannot be redeemed.”
For us four powerful demons, the existence of Demiurge-sama is absolute.
How disloyal of you to harm such a master.
I can’t forgive you for that.
“But Demiurge-sama is kind enough to try to forgive you. But… you can’t be forgiven so―――easily!”
I reached into my pocket and plunged my free fist into Titan’s abdomen.
“Gahaa!”
Then, Titan’s mouth opens wide.
I quickly threw in the『 Purple Berries 』I had taken out of my pocket.
When she closed her mouth, she involuntarily swallowed the fruit.
Seeing this, the corner of my mouth lifts up.
“Ugh…! Wh-What the fuck, did you just, feed me?”
“Don’t worry. It’s not poisonous. Well, maybe it’s worse than that…”
“What the hell are you talking about………―――?!”
“Hee, it’s already started working.”
Immediately, Titan’s condition changes.
Her breathing is greatly disturbed, and her whole body is sweating and flushed.
“The berries you just mentioned are a strong stimulant that increases the sensitivity of the skin. The last time I tried it on another creature, its body remained sensitive for two whole days.”
“Wha?!”
“Fufu, if you take a whip in that state, you might lose your mind. Well, you’ll have to be careful not to break it. Bye.”
“Wa-Wait… Don’t you dare! You motherfucker.”
I ignored Titan, who stared at me with downcast eyes, and left.
If I stayed there forever, Ares might witness the scene.
“Now, I’ve set you up for a lot of things, Ares. You’re going to have to inflict a lot more pain on Titan.”
