Dog Fight (1)

-Thud!

“Gweeeeh?!”

The moment I felt a throbbing sensation in my fist, Aeria’s body momentarily floated up into the air.

Aeria, who had been sent flying backward by my emotion-filled punch, fell flat on her back in the preparation room.

“Aeria?!”

Alicia came running over with a worried voice as soon as her companion fell.

She didn’t even glance at Katarina, who was lying on the floor with a swollen face, showing a distinctly different attitude toward Aeria.

“…Ah.”

So that’s how it was.

Well, it’s not like Katarina, who was naive and seemed weak-willed, would be the one leading the charge in bullying junior maids.

Now that I roughly understood the dynamics between the three senior maids, there was only one thing left for me to do.

Beat the living shit out of this damn bitch Aeria right here and now.

At the very least, I needed to give her the same treatment I gave Katarina to feel satisfied.

“Y-you, what the hell are you doing?! How dare a lowly first-year maid use violence against a senior?!”

“Got a big mouth, huh?”

-Thud!

“Guhueek?!”

This time, I kicked Aeria as she lay on the floor babbling nonsense.

Aeria, who had taken a hit to the solar plexus from my shoe, groaned and rolled on the floor again.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

“Fucking bitch. You’re really asking for it. I’ll make sure you know exactly who’s above you this time.”

“……!”

Establishing hierarchy with Aeria.

It was something I’d have to do eventually anyway.

As I mentioned before, this Aeria was one of the two who would side with Ethan in the future to torment Lillith.

And not just following Ethan’s orders like Alicia, but someone who genuinely enjoyed tormenting Lillith.

From the cutscenes in [Luminor Academy], some of the bullying was practically sexual assault between women, so it was better to establish the hierarchy now for the sake of the future.

Unless I wanted to experience the pathetic future of being fucked by both men and women, that is.

“You fucking bitch. Must’ve been fun pushing your work onto others, huh? You’re really gonna die here today.”

Of course, I didn’t actually plan to kill her. That would just make the Blackwood family keep a closer eye on me, ruining any chance of escape.

But I at least needed to show this bitch who was superior.

To prevent Aeria from bullying me in the future under Ethan’s influence, I had to thoroughly break her spirit here and now.

Just as I was about to slam my fist down on Aeria’s face as she tried to crawl up from the floor.

I felt a thick hand grab my wrist from behind.

-Crunch.

“Ah.”

Ah, fuck. Right, there was one more.

“Aeria, I’ll hold this bitch down!”

“Let go, you fucking bitch?!”

“…Yeah, Alicia. Hold her tight…”

Alicia, the tallest of the senior maids, had grabbed both my arms from behind while I was distracted.

Due to the basic difference in strength, my body was pinned against hers and wouldn’t budge.

“You goddamn bitch with no manners…!”

-Thud!

“Y-you fucking…!!”

A strong impact to my upper abdomen momentarily knocked the wind out of me.

What kind of bitch punches someone right in the solar plexus like that?!

She was already a bitch in the game, but the real-life Aeria was even worse.

I swear I’ll kill this bitch even if it’s the last thing I do.

“Haa, huff, y-you fucking…”

“Why are your eyes so wide open? Still not getting it?”

-Thud!

“Gggguuuuh…!!”

Hitting the same spot twice is bad manners, you bitch…!

The pain was one thing, but the fact that I couldn’t even fight back properly because of that damn Alicia was enough to make me cry.

One-on-one, I could’ve wrecked Aeria easily!

“Well, it’d be boring if you were as naive as Katarina. Someone like you might actually be fun to play with.”

“Bullshit… You bitch…”

-Thud!

“But your brain’s just as rotten as Katarina’s. Both of you are dumber than dogs, huh?”

“Guh, ghh…”

Aeria, who had been getting beaten on the floor just moments ago, started running her mouth as soon as she gained the numerical advantage.

And it was infuriating that I couldn’t resist at all because of Alicia’s grip.

It’s ridiculous to be pinned down by a woman, not even a man.

For the first time, I truly felt the unfairness of having reincarnated as the physically pathetic low-level Lillith.

If only I could deal with this tall maid holding me from behind…

‘Ah.’

Right, that method.

I turned my head from Aeria’s smug face and locked eyes with Alicia behind me.

“What? Begging won’t help now. You shouldn’t have picked a fight with Aeria in the first…”

“Haaaaaa…!”

“…Ugh, guh?! W-what is this smell…?!”

What else? The concentrated stench of hundreds of garlic cloves I ate today.

Even for me, a former Korean, it was unbearable-no way these bitches could handle it.

“Ugh…!”

-Slurp.

‘Gotcha.’

The garlic breath I blew into Alicia’s face worked exactly as intended.

Who knew not having time to rinse my mouth with Clean Magic would come in handy like this?

Unable to stand the stench, Alicia’s grip loosened, freeing my arms.

I decided to take down this annoying tall maid first.

-Thud!!

“Guhhueek?!”

The impact wasn’t as strong as when I hit Aeria, but this bitch was still just a maid in her late teens or early twenties.

Under similar conditions, my experience from past fights gave me the advantage.

Even if most of that experience was just from TV and the internet…

-Thud!!

“Guh, ghh…!”

Alicia, who had taken two consecutive hits to the solar plexus like I had earlier, staggered backward.

Seizing the moment, I prepared to deliver the final blow…

-Crunch!

“Alicia! I’ll kill this bitch!!”

“You fucking bitches are really playing dirty!!”

Ganging up on me 2-on-1 is too much, damn it! Fight me one-on-one like a real fight, you bitches!

Suppressing the urge to scream that, I resisted Aeria’s grip as she grabbed me from behind.

Though her strength was weaker than Alicia’s, being grabbed from behind was still a disadvantageous position.

Now it was Alicia’s turn to punch me in the solar plexus.

…If she lands a clean hit, I’m done for.

Bracing for the pain, I clenched my eyes shut and waited for Alicia’s punch.

But surprisingly, the scream that came wasn’t from me-it was from Alicia.

-Crunch!

“Guhhueek?!”

“…Ughhhh!!”

Katarina, who had been lying on the floor earlier, had suddenly bitten down on Alicia’s right arm.

“Aaaah! Aaaaaaah!!”

Caught off guard by Katarina’s intervention, Alicia screamed and flailed her arm.

Meanwhile, Aeria’s furious voice echoed behind me.

“Katarina…! Get away from Alicia right now! Do you really think you can resist me and get away with it?!”

“Worry about yourself first, huh?”

“What the hell are you-gyaaaaah…!”

Noticing Aeria’s attention shift to Alicia and Katarina, I shifted my weight to my right foot and stomped on Aeria’s right foot with my heel.

As she screamed, I leaned my weight backward.

Unable to support both our weights on one leg, Aeria fell.

Her body collapsed onto the preparation room floor with me on top of her.

-Thud!

“Gweeeeh…!”

Aeria let out a pig-like squeal as she hit the floor.

As her grip loosened, I adjusted my position and mounted her, punching down as she desperately shielded her face and chest.

“Die! Die, you fucking Aeria bitch!!”

“Aaaah! Lillith, you goddamn bitch!!”

“Gyaaaaah! My hand! My hand!!”

“Ughhhh! Ghhhh…!!”

The preparation room echoed with the screams of four junior maids.

In the chaos, we continued our frenzied brawl.

The fight only stopped shortly after.

“I-I came because the kitchen was noisy, but w-what in the world are you all doing…?!”

With the appearance of Melissa Foster, the head maid of Blackwood Manor.
