Chapter 14: The Hero’s Bridal Training! Clitoris Torture Chastity Belt♡

Just as Reina wanted, her life was gradually spiraling into the abyss, while Tei, watching his unrequited love from afar, was breaking down.

She never would have imagined… that her younger brother would have the Clairvoyance Crystal Ball once used by a Demon King’s general. She believed her brother had remained in the royal capital and was doing well as a teacher for the university nobles. She felt sorry for the boy, but knowing what a slut she was, Reina also felt a sense of relief that she and her brother Tei had never gotten together.

He would have cried every day if he’d married me, so this is for the best. Thankfully, there’s a girl who likes Tei, and time will solve everything.

She had left the rest to her former colleague, Lina, who frequently visited her younger brother. From what she’d heard, Lina was seeing Tei often, and it was surely why she had settled in the forest near the capital. The combination of Lina, a pristine elf, and Tei, a priest, was a classic pairing, the kind of marriage everyone around them hoped for. Even Gara, riding in the same special carriage, agreed.

“The two of them are a good match. I, a married man, can attest to it. He may be a bit lost now, but if they get together someday, they’ll be able to build a family so wonderful that the sadness of today will be a distant memory.”

“Hehe, you think so too? I agree. Thanks to that, I was able to leave the capital with peace of mind.”

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

Unlike an ordinary carriage, this one moved with swift speed, and the Hero smiled happily as she let her body sway with the motion. She had cut her beautiful blonde hair into a neat bob and wore light makeup that highlighted her strong-willed face. The white dress she wore was also somewhat revealing. Gara, in his usual armor, watched the Hero’s transformation with a pleasant smile. It wasn’t the lewd smile of a man looking at her with lust, but the smile of a father watching his long-time daughter depart on a journey.

“I can’t praise your actions, Reina, but I suppose I should be grateful this time. Thanks to that girl, both you and I were able to leave.”

“The timing of the party’s disbandment was just too perfect, wasn’t it? I was about to say that I needed to leave for my bridal training with Tanjelo soon, but with Tei’s personality, it was hard for me to bring it up first. It was the same for you, wasn’t it, Gara? You were keeping the party together out of a sense of duty, but you probably wanted to return to your family more than anyone.”

“Was I that obvious?”

“You have a habit of tensing your whole body when you’re worried, just like when you’re defending. Oh, don’t tell me you didn’t know?”

“Is that true?”

“I’m the leader. I know my comrades’ habits.”

“Well, I suppose I’m no match for the Hero.”

Even though he was a mountain of muscle, the way he sat hunched in the carriage with a gentle smile was enough to show just how much he loved his family.

“If I remember correctly, your family is… two daughters and your wife? Right?”

“Yes. You remembered. I have two daughters, both around the Hero’s age now. The last time I saw them was about six years ago… After I left on my journey, we only kept in touch through letters. Even after the work was done, I stayed in the capital for nearly a year, so it’s been effectively seven years since I’ve seen them.”

“Wow… we were together for that long… Come to think of it, we’ve started speaking informally, but you’re the oldest among us, right? I wonder if your family is doing well.”

“I don’t know. I’m worried because the letters stopped coming after I started staying in the capital. During my travels, they always replied promptly, but lately, it’s been hard to get even one… I was getting anxious, wondering if they’d come to hate me, when Reina left.”

“What awful timing.”

“What about you, Hero? I heard you had a blind date with a noble named Tanjelo, you hit it off, and got married. Was it a hasty decision?”

“Yes… I do think it was a bit hasty. The journey was over, Tei had grown up, and I was thinking of leaving the party to find my own life when the marriage proposal came in. It was sort of a ‘let’s just pick this one’ feeling. But after meeting him a few times and talking face-to-face, he wasn’t a bad person like the rumors said. For a noble, he’s so innocent, it’s incredibly charming! So I don’t regret it now. If I really felt bad about it, I wouldn’t be going off to something like bridal training with a smile, you know?”

“I suppose that’s true. But the Hero, taking bridal training… It’s a required course to become a noble’s wife, so I guess it can’t be helped.”

“That’s what I’m worried about… I wonder if I can do it well… Oh! Gara, you were a knight commander from a commoner background! Do you know anything about bridal training?!”

“Both my wife and I are commoners. My family only became a knightly house this generation because of me, so I don’t know about such things. But from what I’ve heard, it’s famously strict. You’ve been invited to the royal castle banquets a few times, so you know, don’t you?”

“You mean those women…”

The noblewomen the Hero knew were the type to always hold their chins high, putting on airs, but the nobles of the royal castle were different. Every movement of their fingers was graceful, their steps beautiful—they were truly walking sculptures. Unlike the Hero, who had awkwardly worn a dress at the time, they made no sound even in the same heels. They wore outfits that even Reina would call “highly revealing,” yet they showed not a hint of shame, standing silently by their husbands’ sides like peacocks. Women without husbands tended to move about more freely, but by contrast, the wives were thoroughly demure. Even when meeting someone they knew, they would end the greeting with a light, smiling glance, only opening their mouths after their business was concluded.

“If they tell me to be like that, there’s no way I can do it…”

“Bridal training is the education that makes it possible. The noble families of this country are strictly patriarchal. From your stories and the rumors I’ve heard, that man Tanjelo is surely a good person, but after marriage, he will act with a certain decorum. You should keep that in mind and support your husband’s actions.”

“So to boost my husband’s authority, I have to start with myself?”

“Every time you throw a tantrum in the court, citing your achievements in defeating the Demon King’s army, you’ll be smearing mud on Tanjelo’s face.”

“Ugh… that would be a problem… Okay, okay, I get what you mean.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Reina had called it a happy ending for the Hero, but reality was heavy. The Hero had thought of marriage as something simple—building a family with someone you love—but experiencing it firsthand made her realize just how naive she had been.

“We’ve come so far… When I was just a little girl, I was suddenly dragged to the royal castle, and I cried and made such a fuss… and now I’m getting married…”

“Feeling sentimental?”

“The adventures we had together are still so vivid. It almost makes me wonder if we’re still on our journey and I’m just dreaming in a tent right now. I’m starting to doubt if the Demon King is really dead, you know?”

“………The Demon King.”

“What’s wrong?”

Gara’s lips, which had been curved in a slight smile as he spoke of his family, tightened. It was not a good sign. The Hero’s smile also faded, and she questioned Gara again. He glanced outside the carriage before lowering his voice to explain.

“Before I quit as knight commander and left, I spoke with my old subordinates. I needed to know what was happening in the world, so I listened to the latest news from each city and events abroad. I also checked if there were any major crimes… I checked everything…”

“…It’s not that the Demon King has been resurrected, is it?”

“If it were something like that, I wouldn’t have disbanded the party. However, it seems the remnants of the Demon King’s army have scattered everywhere. The cursed items they used have also been scattered to various regions. The majority of them have flowed through the neutral commercial cities into the Empire, or have been scattered to the small nations and the unmanaged outskirts of the Libra Kingdom. This has led to a surge in crime, and some nobles even suspect that the Demon King’s army might still be intact.”

“No… it can’t be…”

“It’s impossible for them to be intact. We were the ones who destroyed them.”

Gara stated it flatly.

“Don’t doubt it. We did well.”

“R-right? We destroyed them so thoroughly…”

“But it’s a fact that remnants have survived. They could even be hiding among the Libra nobles we rely on now. So, it’s best to be careful even in your married life. The Empire didn’t lend a hand even when the continent was in danger, and there are signs they’re absorbing the Demon King’s army’s items, so try to avoid contact with their people as much as possible. If we’re not careful, a war with humans could break out this time.”

“That would be the worst… I absolutely don’t want that…”

“Don’t worry so much. It’s a one-in-a-million chance. Right now, everyone is happy that peace has come. The Empire might be collecting those items because they’re dangerous… As for the commercial cities, they’ve always been like that, so it’s not strange. They’re still places that sell slaves, so they would only see the Demon King’s army’s items as a way to make money.”

“Ah, right? I was so shocked when I first went there! I wanted to smash everything, but it was painful to have to leave it alone because it would become an international issue!”

“…That’s something the nation should handle. This story is the same. You’ve done well, Hero, so focus on your married life.”

“You’re the one who brought it up, Gara~!”

“It was just a ‘what if’ story. I’m allowed to give you a word of caution, aren’t I?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

With those words, the special carriage came to a stop.

When the Hero and Gara looked out at the same time, a beautiful grain belt of endless, bright yellow wheat fields came into view. For a noble rumored to be in poor financial straits, he owned very good land. In fact, it seemed he could survive despite his poor finances precisely because he had such good land.

“So this is Tanjelo’s land, Tripol…”

“It’s a nice place. The farmers are all smiling even as they work up a sweat. Is the rumor that he’s struggling financially due to overly benevolent rule true…?”

“……He’s a good person, isn’t he?”

“Yes. So much so that you can tell his character without even meeting him.”

From the end of the endless wheat fields, a new carriage approached. The carriage, bearing the crest of a golden wheat field that symbolized this place, belonged to the Tripol family, who would become the Hero’s in-laws. Perhaps Tanjelo himself had rushed out on foot upon hearing of her arrival, as the carriage was moving excessively fast. Gara opened the carriage door and guided the Hero out so she could greet her future husband.

“Well, this is as far as we go… It’s been fun, Hero.”

“What are you talking about, like you’re leaving forever~! You take care of yourself too, Gara, okay? I’ll definitely invite you when my bridal training is over and I get married, so you have to come with your family then, okay?”

“Of course. I might cry from disappointment if you don’t invite me.”

“Haha! I can’t imagine you crying, Gara! You’ve taken so many attacks but never once made a sound of pain!”

“I’m human too, so I can shed a tear or two. After traveling all that way back, if my daughter tells me she hates me, I might just cry. Or if my wife is having an affair… It’s something I really don’t want to imagine, but I did leave her for seven years.”

“You know that won’t happen.”

“…Yes.”

“You’re built like a mountain, but you get so childish when it comes to your family! Alright, enough with the grumbling, hurry up and go! You have to write, okay?!”

“I will. I promise.”

The carriage door closed, and the special carriage departed. The horse pulling the carriage, which bore the kingdom’s crest, was a magic beast with fire in its eyes. Leaving faint trails of flame on the ground with every step, the Flame Mare disappeared from sight. In its place, another person came running to greet the Hero.

“Hero-niiim~! Haaah, hah, haah, huaaah~!”

“Tanjelo!”

Brown, shaggy hair, red glasses, and two black-brown eyes that shone with curiosity like a raccoon’s. Despite having emerged from a magnificent carriage, he was dressed in a rather worn-out suit. It was a navy-blue suit with gold embroidery, but it had a slightly grayish tint, and his own lack of composure made him look like a well-dressed country youth.

“I-I can’t believe you arrived so quickly… Welcome, it was a long journey~!”

“Aah~! You’re being awkward again! Stop talking like that. We finally managed to speak informally last time we met, what’s with going back to how it was?”

“Oops… but it’s a habit…”

“Really, it’s a bad habit~! But seeing you like this, I’m glad you seem to be doing well.”

“Yeah, you too, Hero.”

As he awkwardly smiled and scratched the back of his neck, others disembarked from the carriage. At first, she thought they were Tanjelo’s family, but their skin color was different. A brown-skinned maid with a face as sharp as a knife. Unlike the somewhat flamboyantly dressed Hero, the maid, clad in a simple, neat black uniform, scanned the Hero with her unique, black, expressionless eyes and quietly bowed her head.

“Hello, Hero-nim. It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time.”

Her long, tied-up hair didn’t even sway, which surprised Reina.

“Oh… a Dark Elf?!”

“Yes. This is Noah-ssi, the head maid of our family. Starting today, she will be your partner for your bridal training. She may look like this, but she’s older than us and works quickly, so her skills are top-notch. Everyone relies on her. She’s been serving our family for several generations, so she’s absolutely trustworthy.”

“Wow… for that long…? I see… It’s a pleasure to meet you, Noah-ssi. I’m the Hero… I look forward to working with you… I guess?”

“………………”

“………Noah-ssi?”

With the beautiful wheat fields and the meeting with her future husband, the atmosphere should have been pleasant, but as Noah’s mood darkened, her long ears shot straight up. The Hero had traveled with an elf named Lina before, so she knew what it meant when their ears perked up like that. She braced herself, and just as she expected, the words that followed were a tirade Tanjelo could never have imagined.

“I had heard about you, but you truly lack basic manners. When meeting someone for the first time, I believe it is proper to greet them before being surprised by their race. Furthermore, it is not a good habit to laugh things off vaguely just because you feel awkward. For someone who scolded Young Master Tanjelo about his bad habits, you seem rather untamed yourself, which I find amusing. Or are you looking down on Young Master Tanjelo just because you’ve fought a few battles outside? If that is the case, I have no choice but to call you a wild boar.”

“—Kh?!”

“Waaaaaah~!!!!”

A blade of words was thrust at the Hero who had come for bridal training. Tanjelo, who had wanted to get along with her, panicked and flailed about. The Hero, who had expected harsh words, took less damage, but it was enough for her to understand Noah’s personality.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Noah-ssi has a habit of speaking harshly!!!”

“I-it’s okay… I have an elf acquaintance, so I was expecting it…! But I didn’t know Dark Elves were like that too…!!”

“Oh? And what is so different about a Dark Elf? Or did you assume that because my skin color is different, I would act vulgarly? If so, I am disappointed. I thought the Hero-nim was a kind person who treated everyone without discrimination, but to think you held such prejudice.”

“That’s not true~! I wasn’t thinking that far! A-anyway! Noah-ssi~! I apologize! You were right, it was proper to greet you first!”

“Apologizing immediately is endearing. In that case, I too shall apologize for greeting you with such sharp words. Welcome to Tripol, the heart of the kingdom… The Young Master has been waiting for you. To be precise, he has been watching the road through a telescope set up on the castle wall since yesterday.”

“…Really?”

“Why would you say that…!!”

“Because saying this much will better convey Young Master Tanjelo’s true feelings. I am not one who enjoys seeing two young people keep an unnecessary distance.”

“…………Heh.”

She was the type to speak only the truth without empty words, so it was clear just how long Tanjelo had been waiting. The Hero had been thinking of marriage lightly, but now, thinking she had met a good man after all, her face flushed red. Love wasn’t the blindly sweet thing she’d read about in books, nor was it a fateful encounter, but she accepted reality, realizing she could meet someone so naturally and just melt into their life.

“You waited that long?”

“Aah~! I don’t know anything about that~! I have no idea what you’re talking about~! Noah-ssi, you shouldn’t lie like that~!”

“Noah-ssi?”

“The Young Master is a terrible liar. He usually speaks softly, but when he suddenly raises his voice, he is most likely lying. In fact, there was a carriage prepared just outside the castle wall so he could rush out immediately, and there’s a mat on top that he left without tidying up. If you think I’m lying, you are welcome to go and see for yourself.”

“Waaaaaah!!!! I told you not to say anything!!!!”

“……Attending to you all night was tiring, so please allow me this small revenge.”

“Guh… Ughh…!!”

She wasn’t completely devoid of humanity; she let out a small laugh as she teased the Young Master. It seemed the Hero’s personality would allow her to blend into the atmosphere here without much difficulty. She decided not to pry into Tanjelo’s embarrassing secrets, like the castle wall incident, and instead tucked it away in her heart as a fond memory. Following their lead, she headed towards Tripol, inside the walls.

This place might be even better than I thought.

The passing scenery was filled with the scent of people, a comforting place for a country girl like the Hero. After a brief look at the wheat fields, they shared stories of what they had been up to, but it was a short time from getting into the carriage to entering the city, so they couldn’t talk for long. The carriage stopped in front of the largest mansion in Tripol and another, smaller mansion next to it. The three of them lined up amicably in front of the buildings.

“There are two mansions?”

“One is the main building where Lord and Lady Tripol reside. Originally, everyone lived together, but in preparation for the marriage of their only son, Young Master Tanjelo, and so the two of you could live happily, a new mansion was built right next door. It may be slightly smaller than the main building, but it will also serve for your bridal training. Until then, myself, Young Master Tanjelo, and you, Hero-nim, will be living here together.”

“A newlywed home, I guess… Mom and Dad got a little too enthusiastic…… Especially Dad, he was saying things like, ‘It’s about time you learned about the ways of love!’ and since he caught a good woman, he’d teach me how to use her, spouting all sorts of vulgar things while Mom just laughed next to him…… Guuuh~!”

“Hehe~! Your parents get along well, don’t they?”

“It’s not something to just laugh about, you know? He was talking about how to tame a woman if she acts a certain way, not like a person but like a wild horse… He even said some things that were so violent they shocked me, so that’s a problem too…”

‘How to tame a wild horse,’ huh…

From the way he spoke, she could guess how he treated his wife.

…She felt sorry for Tanjelo, but her relationship with her father-in-law might be a bit frosty.

“Young Master Tanjelo takes after his mother’s blood more. As for me, I believe the Lord gave him the correct advice.”

“Even you, Noah-ssi…”

“To be frank, as of now, Hero-nim, you are the most powerful woman among those who have the King’s ear. The Hero who defeated the Demon King… that title alone puts the Tripol family in danger. This is especially true since we are known for having vast lands but squandering our money. …If we’re not careful, the family could be devoured, you know?”

“The Hero isn’t that kind of woman~!”

“…I have no intention of doing that either.”

“That is how others will see it. If Young Master Tanjelo does not maintain an attitude of superiority, those who covet this land will simply flatter you, Hero-nim. The next head of the Tripol family is Young Master Tanjelo, but if everyone fawns over you, it will be nothing but an eyesore… In that sense, the Lord telling you to hold the Hero’s reins is perfectly correct. Or am I wrong?”

“………………Ugh.”

When Tanjelo fell silent, Noah’s dark gaze turned to the Hero.

“It’s true. I have no intention of doing that. I’m not smart enough for that, and I’m marrying Tanjelo because I like him…”

“Then you must prove it. Before the next court banquet, become a proper woman, stand by Young Master Tanjelo’s side as his ornament, and show this foolish one who the head of Tripol is. If you can do that, both the Lord and I will be able to welcome you into the family with peace of mind.”

“…Can I do that?”

“That is what the bridal training is for. In this regard, please rest assured. The current Lady Tripol is also a ‘result’ of my handiwork. The method of creating a wife for one man… yes, I am quite well-versed in it… Fufufut…”

For a moment, Noah smiled viciously.

The Hero held her breath.

“Um, Noah-ssi? I’m not quite getting it, so what kind of training is it, specifically?”

“Let’s see… shall we call it the process of pulling a lion’s fangs to turn it into a lamb? It is, after all, a process of thoroughly changing you so that you do not bare your fangs at your husband. In your case, Hero-nim, it might be more apt to use a dragon as an analogy, but without fangs or claws, you would be somewhat safer.”

“Is it that severe… I wasn’t hoping for that much…”

“This is not for Young Master Tanjelo to decide. Since I will be guiding you for a short period, it is inevitable that things will become somewhat drastic. Therefore, please make your decision here. If you feel it is not worth marrying Young Master Tanjelo to the point of being oppressed, you may turn around. The Lord will not be angry about this. If this marriage proposal fails, we will simply find a more submissive woman for Young Master Tanjelo to marry, and that will be the end of it.”

“……Another woman?”

To be honest, she hadn’t known Tanjelo for long. She had decided on the marriage carelessly, and she only liked him for his personality. That’s why she hadn’t known if her feelings were real or fake, but she knew now. It seemed that the sight of him running out from behind the castle wall, smiling happily, had been the deciding factor.

“That… sounds worse than I thought it would…”

She discovered that the thought of Tanjelo marrying another woman made her feel intensely displeased.

“…Is that so? If you do not turn back now, you will surely suffer, you know?”

“I just realized… I like Tanjelo more than I thought. With my personality, it would be difficult to find another man after I’ve set my heart on one. You see, once I’m fixated on something, I don’t let go. I hope you understand, since this personality of mine is what let me beat the Demon King.”

“Is that so… Young Master Tanjelo is truly blessed. To think he would receive such a Demon King-level proposal.”

“………Eh.”

Tanjelo, who had been standing blankly beside her, turned beet red. The Hero, on the other hand, remained defiant, even though she had just said something tantamount to a proposal. Noah looked at the Hero with another vicious smile and took one of her hands to lead her away.

“Young Master Tanjelo. I, Noah, will begin taming your future wife today. However, there is something that must be done before the training begins, so please return to the main building for now and come back after breakfast tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow?! B-but she just got here! She should greet my father and talk with me, we can start slowly tomorrow~?!”

“No, that is unnecessary. I have already finished discussing it with him.”

“Why was I the only one who didn’t know?!”

“Because you are prone to whining, Young Master, and I knew you would grumble if you heard the details. This was the plan from the beginning. The Hero-nim will meet the Head of the Family only when she has become a woman befitting the Tripol family, or when she has become a useful enough woman for the family to take in.”

“A ‘useful woman’ is a bit… The Hero is my wife, so please be a little gentler. I don’t like hearing you talk like that…”

“…It is a figure of speech.”

“I can trust you with this, right? I’m not asking for much, so if the Hero doesn’t want to, she can stop.”

“I’m fine. It’s okay, go on ahead. This seems like something necessary, so we’ll have a serious talk and I’ll be back.”

“………I see. O-okay! Get along with Noah-ssi!”

He ran away awkwardly, as this was a new experience for him. To think the Hero would undergo training just to become his wife—he was so overjoyed by the undeserved honor that his self-esteem was visibly overflowing. The two women watched Tanjelo until he entered the main building, then headed to the other mansion. The moment the Hero and Noah stepped inside, they stopped at the entrance and looked at each other.

“Now then, Hero-nim. If you would be so kind, could you please lower your back for a moment?”

“…Like this?”

“Yes. Just like that. Now, if you’ll excuse me. —Hup!!”

The moment she bent over, the polite demeanor from just moments ago vanished, and Noah immediately raised her palm.

SLAAAAAAP!!!!!

“Aghh~?! Kht~!”

Noah’s brown palm swung full force into the Hero’s cheek, sending her head whipping to the side. Violence, the moment Tanjelo left and they were out of sight—what was the meaning of this outrage? But Noah, without a thought for excuses, still wore that vicious smile.

“My, my… as expected of the Hero-nim. I was the one who hit you, yet my palm stings as if I struck iron.”

“…What is the meaning of this?”

“It is because we are now beginning your training. I struck your cheek just now because you were rude, Hero-nim. It is forbidden to use a commanding tone with your husband, telling him to ‘go on ahead.’ If you had treated Young Master Tanjelo like that in front of other nobles, it would have caused a great commotion. Wild speculations about you would run rampant, saying ‘that woman looks down on her husband.'”

“Ugh…”

“From now on, you are also forbidden from calling me Noah-ssi. You will call me Maid Leader. And from today, all your answers to me will be ‘Yes, I understand.’ Do you understand me?”

“Yeees… I understaaand…”

“The formal language itself is awkward for you, I see. But you will get used to it soon. ──Because making you get used to it, whether you like it or not, is my job♡.”

Ugh… I have a bad feeling about this.

With those words, she walked ahead without a sound. Naturally, the Hero followed, and the two arrived at a particularly small storage room within the mansion.

Kweee~♡ Kweeee~♡

What is this smell… smoke…?

An ambiguous amount of smoke, making it unclear whether it was intentionally lit or just dust, filled her nostrils. Wondering what business they could possibly have in a place like this, Noah smiled faintly and presented a sinister object.

“This… no way…”

“Yes. To become a proper wife, one must start with her conduct. This is a chastity belt I have specially prepared. I will not say where I acquired it, but I thought it would be a perfect fit for a violent Hero-nim like you-♡”

“Hyaaaah…?!”

Seeing what Noah handed her, she couldn’t help but gasp in horror.

Somehow, this was no ordinary chastity belt.

The inside was dangerous.

Why is it designed to penetrate not just the vagina, but the urethra too…? A-and the asshole… The clit part is especially dangerous… I-if I wear something like this, any kind of resistance would be…!!

Forget about taking the initiative; it was obvious that even her most basic human needs would be controlled.

And given Noah’s personality, she would be thorough…

Did I make a mistake… If bridal training is this intense from the start, maybe I should reconsider this marriage…

Gulp.

“U-um, this is a bit… It’s still the first day, something like this is…”

The moment she regretted her pride, Noah’s words cut in like a knife.

“You’re not a coward who would say no now, are you? After so gallantly confessing that your feelings for Young Master Tanjelo are the same as when you defeated the Demon King, you’re going to run away now? Hmph… that’s fine. If you say you quit, I will not stop you. I will explain the situation to Young Master Tanjelo. I will tell him that the woman who confessed so passionately was a coward who got scared and ran away the moment I tried to train her… that she was not a woman worthy of him, and that we should find a better woman next time.”

“Ughhhhhh~?!”

She knew she shouldn’t fall for the provocation, but the Hero couldn’t abandon her pride.

“Well, I expected as much. A hero is still just a woman. So it was all just rumors after all. Hmph… Run away like the loser you are. Just like the country bumpkin bitch you are.”

“……Who are you calling a country bumpkin!!! Eeeeeee~! I’m not scared of something like this at all!!! I can wear it! I’ll do it, I said~?!”

The term “country bumpkin” was the Hero’s reverse scale.

Thanks to that, she had blocked her only escape route herself.

“………♡”

“Mgh! Mmmph! Aaaah~?! Aaaaaaack~!!”

With only women present, she used her teeth to crudely lift her skirt, kicked away her fancy panties, and put it on in one go. For a chastity belt, it was thin, light, and soft as silk—a product of some unknown technology.

“Ght, th-this, ugh, what, is this~?!”

On the outside, it looked like a pair of panties made of silver thread in the shape of a rose, but two vibrators attached to the inside slid deep into her vagina and anus, while a urethral vibrator mercilessly pushed its way in. Her clitoris was covered by a lid filled with stiff, abrasive bristles, painfully scraping away its skin.

“Mwaaah~! Ah, aack, ugh~! I-it hurts!! Ughh…!! It huuurts!!!!”

—Click♡

The part on her clitoris was especially bad, and she frantically tried to pull the chastity belt off, but it clung to her heavily. It changed shape to fit her hips perfectly, and now it wouldn’t come off at all. The vibrators in her two holes pressed in deeper, and the rough bristles pressing on her clitoris poked and prodded, making it difficult to stand up straight.

“Ugh, uugh, why, a chastity belt, with something like thiiis~! Ugh, aha, aack, don’t tell me, this isn’t a chastity belt, it’s a torture devi—?!”

“—No, straighten your back. Do you intend to walk around with your head bowed in front of others?”

“N-no, wait… just a little… give me a moment…”

“I will not. And your answer should be ‘Yes, I understand,’ correct?”

Click-♡

Noah smiled viciously and pressed a button she found lying around in the storage room.

BZZZZZZ-♡♡♡♡♡♡

“Yieeeeee!? Aaaaaaack!!!! Aaaaaaack!!!! Aaaaaaah-aaaaaah!!!! Aaaaaaah-aaaaack!!!!! St-st-st, stooooop!!! The thing on my cliiiiiit!!! Why?! Why is it spinning?! Aaaaaaack!!!! Haaaaaack!!!! It huuuuuurts!!! It hurts! It hurts! It huuuuuurts!!!!!”

Just as she feared, the electric toothbrush-like device covering her clitoris began to spin, wrecking the Hero. With the skin peeled away and the sensitive area exposed, the sharp bristles didn’t just scrape but spun around, causing her slender body to shoot up and then stagger back in a chaotic frenzy.

BZZZZZZ-♡♡♡

“Hgyaaaaaah?! Yigaaaaaack!!! Kht, ohaaaah!? Agaaaaaack!!! Ag-g-gh?! Ugh?! Wh-why?!!! Ught!!! Ugu-uuuuuugh!!!! It won’t come ooooff?! Ugh-gh-gh?! Aaaaaaack!!!!!!”

BZZZZZZ-♡

BZZZZZZ-♡

“Hh-huga-aaaaaa-!!!!!! Ghi-yaaaai-uuuuuu-!!!!! G-get i-i-i-i-i-i-t! Get it off my cliiiiii-t!!!!!!”

Scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape!!! Scrape scrape scrape scrape!!!!

“Hk?!”

BZZZZZZ-♡♡

“Hgo-aaaaaa-t!!!!!!”

With her Level 99 strength, she clawed at her crotch, but the fact that a mere chastity belt wouldn’t come off was already strange. The Hero was weeping from the excessive pain, her teeth clenched as she spread her legs in a disgraceful display, but Noah did not stop.

“Straighten your back.”

BZZZZZZ-♡♡♡

“Stoooooop!!!! Stoooooop!!!! My clitoris issssss!!!!!! Being torn! It’s agonyyyy?! Ugh-gh-gh, g-gaaaaaah!!!! Stoooooop!!!!! It huuuuurts!!! Agh-haaaaaa-t!!!!!”

“Straighten your back.”

“H-g-ga-ga-gak?! Ugh, kht, u-gi-gi-ga-ga~! Ga-ga-ga-ga-g-gh!!!! Uuuuuuu-k!!!! Stop iiiiii-t!!!! It huuuuuurts!!! It hurts! My clit issssss-k!!!!”

“Straighten your back.”

BZZZZZZ-♡

“K-hyaaaaaa-k!!! G-gaaaaaa-k!!! My cliiiiii-t!!!!!! The flesh is being torn to shreeeeee-ds!!!!!!”

“Straighten. Your. Back.”

“G-ho-go-go-gak, ack, gaaaaaack!!! Agat, agak… H-uuuuuugh…… U-g-guk!!! K-hiii-bup?! U-g-guk~! K-huuuuuuh~! K-ho-uuuuuu-h~!!! Unk-g-g-g-g-g-g-t!!!!”

Even a fool would understand what she meant after the fourth time. The Hero took a deep breath, braced herself for the destruction of her clitoris, and snapped her heels together, straightening her back like a saluting soldier.

“Hah, hoha… hoaaaaaack!!! I-I did it! I did it! I straightened my back!!!! I straightened iiiiii-t!!!!!! U-gi-hi-gaaaaaa-p!!!!!!”

“That’s not it, is it? What did I tell you to say when you answer me?”

Bzzzzzz-♡

“H-oho… hoooook…!! H-buk?! H-hhhp, r-huuuuub!!! N-n-yeh… nyeeek… Ght, yes, I understaaaaaa-nd!!!! Maid Leader! I have straightened my back!!!! I haaaaave!!! Straightened my baaaaaa-ck!!!!!!”

“Yes, well done. It would have been better if you had done so from the start. Making me say it four times, really…”

Click-♡

Bzzzzzz……… bzzzz…… bzzt…

……Thump.

As the bristles grinding her clitoris stopped, the Hero stood perfectly erect, lowering only her head to glare with tear-filled eyes. Though no one was restraining her, she willed herself not to move, like a wild beast trapped in a cage.

“Hk, hht… huuuu… hht?! Ugh……!! Uuuuuuugh…!!”

“You’re scared, aren’t you? Scared that if you move carelessly, I’ll press the button again. Yes… that’s right. A beast won’t learn unless you give it pain. Fufu… that judgment is perfectly correct. The iron rule for a woman who follows her husband is to wait in an unmoving posture… From today, whether you go to the bathroom, eat a meal, or take a rest, you will ask for my permission. If I am not here, do not forget to ask for Young Master Tanjelo’s permission.”

“I-if I make a mistake… what… happens…?”

“—Your tone.”

“Ghk…!! If I make a mistake… what will happen…? Maid Leader…!!”

“I see. You are showing a good attitude for now, but there will come a time when you reach your limit. But please, do not worry.”

She ran her fingers over some of the items arranged here, taking a turn around the storage room.

This wasn’t the only chastity belt in this room.

There were types for the nipples, devices to bind the arms, contraptions to force the toes to point, a giant hook to hang from the buttocks—a whole host of posture-correcting tools that looked suspiciously like torture instruments.

“You might have to use them someday… Would you like to test them out in advance…?”

“…………!! Ugh… ungh…!!”

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

After a moment’s hesitation, the Hero answered brightly.

“Yes, I understand! Maid Leader!”

“…Yes. That’s it. It’s admirable that you didn’t say no and did as you were told. Once you get used to this, you will develop a habit of unconditionally fawning over your husband, so please do not forget.”

“Yes! I understand! ………sniffle.”

“Don’t cry. I was harsh, wasn’t I? But as long as you don’t make the same mistake again, there will be no need to press this button. We will be seeing each other for a long time, so let’s try to get along.”

“Yes… I understand…!!”

“Get along.”

“Yes… yeees… I understand… Noah-ssi…”

“……Are you really going to call me that?”

“Hk… ugh…?! Yes! I understand! Maid Leader!”

“Your apology?”

“I’m sorry!”

“Just because I loosened up a little, do not start calling me by my name.”

“Kuuuh… ugh…… uuuugh……”

“Heheheh~♡”

Noah’s face bloomed into a wide smile, as if she found teasing the Hero amusing. Like a child who had found a fun new toy, she picked up the Hero’s panties, which had fallen to the floor, and brought them to her lips.

“Such slovenly underwear… Here, hold it in your mouth.”

“Ugh… yes… I understand…”

……Mmph, mmph.

“Follow me just like that. There are many manners you must learn and memorize while Young Master Tanjelo is away. Since you are not yet used to the chastity belt, I will tolerate some mistakes, but you must remember these things before the Young Master arrives tomorrow.”

“Mmyes… I unnerstan… Maid Leadeaargh…”

Realizing she was no match for Noah in this situation, the Hero followed behind with her own underwear in her mouth. Even the hero who defeated the Demon King could not win against this strange chastity belt, and tears of shame welled up in her eyes. The unfamiliar shame was written all over her face, but since this was a situation brought on by her own pride, she decided she would endure it. And so, she began to learn the sexual etiquette required for her husband.
