〈 Episode 325 〉 The Taste of Violence #2

Slap!

“Huuuuk!!”

A crisp sound, a turning head, and a suppressed scream.

Silvia, watching Lee Heeyeon, who was drooling tears with a gag in her mouth, formed a satisfied smile on her lips.

Already the tenth hit.

Heeyeon’s cheek was already swollen and bruised.

Honestly, it felt dirty the first time she hit her.

It felt like she had committed a sin, and it was unpleasant.

But that was only for a moment.

As Heeyeon’s cheek turned red and tears flowed from her eyes, a sensation took over her entire body.

It was excitement… pleasure that made her whole body tremble.

She wasn’t a sadist.

The thought of hitting Adeline or Jihyuk was truly horrifying.

This was just… satisfaction from seeing the arrogant attitude of a brat change in an instant. It was the satisfaction of proper discipline.

As the protector of Earth, she needed to discipline rude humans like Heeyeon.

To teach her not to be a sore thumb in society, and to show her the bitterness of the world.

Think about it. If she had just wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have untransformed or gone through the trouble of tying her up.

This girl should be grateful for her mercy.

“Keep your head straight.”

At the low voice, Heeyeon, kneeling and bound, regained her composure.

She quickly looked at Silvia, her eyes filled with desperation.

“I’ll take the gag off, but don’t scream. Got it?”

“Mmm! Mmm!”

Heeyeon frantically nodded her head.

Silvia, with one corner of her mouth raised, removed Heeyeon’s gag.

“I… I was wrong… Please spare me… Huhuuk…! I was wrong… I was really wrong…!”

As soon as her mouth was free, Heeyeon immediately began sobbing and apologizing.

Silvia frowned.

“What did I say?”

“Not to… scream… I’m sorry… Hic…!”

Seeing her bite her lips tightly, it seemed the education had worked well.

Silvia tapped Heeyeon’s swollen cheek and asked.

“You’re a streamer, right?”

“Yes… that’s right… Sob…!”

“Are you going to turn on the stream tomorrow and complain?”

“N-no, absolutely not… I’ll do my makeup properly… No, I won’t stream at all until I’m fully healed…”

She liked that.

As expected, fists were the best way to discipline troublemakers.

No need to suffer, just a few hits would do.

“While you were unconscious, I checked your parents’ address. Even if you move, there are plenty of ways to find you. So don’t go blabbing about what happened today.”

“Yes… I’ll keep my mouth shut… Please…”

“Just think of it as a bad dream. Forget about Jihyuk and me. If you tell anyone or report it… I’ll start with your family and kill everyone around you. Right in front of your eyes.”

At the chilling words, Heeyeon hiccuped.

“Hic! I’ll… I’ll definitely forget…! Waaah…”

“I’ll trust you.”

Silvia gently stroked Heeyeon’s head and stood up.

Honestly, this illegal intrusion and assault were dangerous actions.

Beast Slayer was globally popular enough to chew up celebrities like nothing.

Her face was already well-known.

Moreover, she had forced her way through a fourth-floor window without a ladder.

A superhuman feat only seen in movies… Only Beast Slayers could do such things on Earth.

She had untransformed immediately after entering, but Heeyeon had already seen her in her suit.

So, it was highly likely she had figured out her identity.

But it didn’t matter. No matter what she blabbered about, there would be no damage.

The headquarters and Beast Slayers were already treated as sacred worldwide.

The headquarters had taken on the burden of dealing with demons and had never expressed any complaints.

Of course, they had a few words with the World Union, but that was only natural.

If they hadn’t used the dead demons or the headquarters’ resources to plot, this wouldn’t have happened.

The headquarters had installed Evil Energy Explorers across the globe and applied compensation laws to every country.

Moreover, the Beast Slayers hadn’t become vain despite their popularity.

They didn’t try to profit from their high popularity, just quietly hunted demons and disappeared.

In such a sacrificial situation, even if Heeyeon exposed it, no ordinary person would believe her… absolutely no one.

Rather, she would face backlash and be beaten.

Trolls might jump at the chance, but passionate Beast Slayer fans would dox her… There was nothing to worry about.

After untying Heeyeon, Silvia checked her phone.

[When are you coming?]

Seeing the childish message from Jihyuk, she let out a small laugh.

Usually, he’s so mature… but today, he’s like a kid.

That’s why she liked it more. It felt like he was relying on her.

[On my way.]

After replying to Jihyuk, Silvia warned Heeyeon, who hadn’t moved despite being untied.

“Remember what I said?”

“… I… absolutely… hic! I won’t report it… I won’t tell anyone… Hic…!”

It seemed the education was complete.

She wanted to know how Heeyeon and Jihyuk had interacted, but she decided not to ask.

Why? Because she might get so angry she’d blow Heeyeon’s head off.

“Listen well, from now on…”

After a few more warnings, Silvia left Heeyeon’s house.

**

I was quite surprised by Silvia’s honest explanation, her face slightly red as she wore a robe that revealed her chest.

She was recounting the assault on Heeyeon without holding back.

Honestly, I thought she’d keep some things secret… but I’m glad.

The fact that she’s telling me this much means she trusts me.

After silently listening to everything, I asked.

“Aren’t you a Beast Slayer?”

“Yes.”

“Then why did you hit someone you’re supposed to protect?”

“Even celebrities get hate comments and make extreme choices. I think it’s wrong for public figures to just endure.”

“That’s a wrong comparison. You’re a righteous person. You have the mindset to protect people. So why did you hit someone?”

“Are you taking her side now?”

“I’m just surprised. And did you know what consequences your actions might have?”

Silvia answered calmly.

“She can’t do anything. No one will believe her no matter what she says. So don’t worry.”

That’s true.

But isn’t she being too confident?

Well, I like it.

“Don’t be so sure. It might come back to bite you later.”

Contrary to my expectation that she’d back off with a strong attitude, Silvia didn’t even blink.

“You’re partly to blame for this.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ve been fooling around with Adeline, leaving me out, so of course I’d get angry. What else could I do? I had to vent.”

Wow… She’s really good at mimicking what I’ve said.

Impressive.

“If that’s the case, you should’ve just killed her. It would’ve been easier to clean up.”

At that, Silvia flinched.

Her momentum deflated, and she asked in a small voice.

“You… how can you say that…? How can you kill someone…”

You wanted to kill her too.

Your face has been flushed since earlier, and you couldn’t hide your excitement while talking, yet you dare to act all proper?

I should teach you a lesson with my dick.

“What’s stopping you? She’s just a target for your anger, right? So insignificant you don’t even treat her as human.”

“… Are you mocking me now?”

“No. You’re just too confident.”

“What makes you so confident? You’re the one who caused this in the first place.”

Without answering, I handed Silvia the cocktail I had prepared earlier.

A tall, amber-colored glass with a slice of lemon as garnish.

Taking it, Silvia asked.

“A cocktail?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“It’s called Long Tea. Like iced tea.”

“No… why are you giving this to me? Is it a bribe?”

“Something like that.”

Silvia’s lips curled slightly as she sipped the cocktail.

She seemed to like the sweet taste.

“This doesn’t mean I forgive you.”

Hide that smile first before talking.

Sitting next to Silvia, I pressed close to her.

“What will you do if you don’t forgive me? Scold me like Adeline?”

“… Shut up. Why does the one who did wrong talk so much…? Were you even reflecting?”

“You should be the one reflecting. My desires…”

“Stop with your weird sophistry… Huh…!”

Silvia was startled.

The cause was my hand.

Starting from her upper stomach, my hand moved up to her solar plexus.

At the tip of my middle finger, I felt the hook of Silvia’s bra.

Uung…! Uuung…

The device began to make noise.

Hearing it, Silvia spoke in a troubled tone.

“The device… you have to take it out…”

“It’s fine, we can just recharge it, right?”

“Then why did you only use 30% last time…?”

That? If we use it all in one day, who knows what might happen.

Like that prophecy you received.

Ignoring Silvia, I pressed my middle finger firmly against her solar plexus.

Immediately, there was a reaction.

“Huh…!”

Silvia’s body trembled like she’d been electrocuted, spilling the cocktail.

Normally, this wouldn’t have excited her so much, but it seemed the aftermath of using violence on Heeyeon had left a positive impression.

As Silvia’s eyes began to glaze over, she asked.

“… Did you… wash it…? There too…”

“Where?”

“That… your… penis…”

“Say it properly.”

“… Did you wash your penis…?”

I grinned and shook my head.

“I washed it clean.”

“Wash it again… You have to…”

“Why so meticulous? Let’s clean this too.”

I offered Silvia my hand, stained with the cocktail.

At first, she looked confused, but soon seemed to understand my intention, her eyes half-lidded.

She slightly opened her mouth and began to suck on my index finger.

Uung! Uuuung!

The device’s noise grew louder.

Silvia’s gaze lowered.

Her expression seemed troubled by the charging device, but she didn’t stop sucking.

After a while, sucking my finger like an ice cream, she let out a languid sigh.

“Huu…♡ I’ll take off the device… It’s hard to recharge this…”

“Want to transform?”

“Suddenly…?”

“Why not? It’s better to do it while transformed. The energy charges and depletes in real time.”

“But… last time we did it while transformed…”

“Just transform.”

Silvia’s Adam’s apple bobbed heavily.

She seemed to like my low, commanding voice.

Nodding slightly, she touched the device.

She even minimized the energy to avoid blinding me.

Moving closer to her, I asked.

“How did it feel?”

“Huh…? What do you mean…?”

“When you were disciplining Heeyeon, how did it feel? Did you like it? Or was it unpleasant? Be honest.”

Hesitating, she answered in a small voice.

“Honestly… before disciplining her, I felt somewhat unpleasant…”

“And then?”

“While disciplining her… I liked it… I really liked it… Is that weird…? I just wanted to teach her manners…”

The collapse of morality, the distortion of values, self-rationalization.

These signs of corruption excite me every time.

This was one of those times.

The reversed image of Beast Slayer Caroline, who once cried out for justice and desperately sought Rosario, was utterly captivating.

Reaching out, I gently held Silvia’s chin, scratching her under it with two fingers.

“No. It’s not weird. You’ve been holding back for so long. You need a way to relieve stress.”

“I… I wasn’t trying to relieve stress…”

“Right. It was education. To rehabilitate the rude.”

“Yes… that’s right…”

All the malice I’ve poured into Silvia’s body wasn’t in vain.

After the device’s erosion, Silvia accepted the malice she had pushed away.

And that malice mixed well with the eroded Aiter, seeping deep into Silvia’s heart.

Perhaps… the Demon Realm might appear today.

We still need to be careful, but the situation is optimistic.

I have that firm belief, that certainty.

“Today was a day I was really surprised by your extreme actions.”

“…..”

“That’s why I like it even more. You being honest with your emotions makes you really beautiful.”

Silvia’s face, which had been fidgeting, brightened.

To her, who was embarrassed, I said.

“I’ll take care of Heeyeon.”

“Jihyuk, if you’re thinking of silencing her, I’ve already…”

“We need to be thorough.”

“Th-thorough? How…?”

“I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.”

“Y-you’re not planning to meet her, are you…? If you were, just call her… I’m worried… What if you roll around with her again…”

Even jealous… perfect.

“I won’t meet her.”

With that, I pushed Silvia onto the bed.
