Chapter 53: The Taming Begins

"What? You're the one who winged Karasuba?!!"

Sora's words left both Benitsubasa and Haihane utterly stunned.

They had heard about Karasuba being winged not long ago. Benitsubasa had even felt a pang of jealousy, thinking that Natsuo had secretly winged Karasuba behind her back, and perhaps they had even done this and that.

But to her utter shock, it wasn't Natsuo who had winged Karasuba—it was the man standing before her!

While shocked, Benitsubasa couldn't help but feel a hint of glee. She had always wanted to exclude Karasuba and Haihane and have Natsuo all to herself. Now that her biggest rival, Karasuba, had inexplicably become another Ashikabi's Sekirei, how could she not be thrilled?

As for Haihane, in Benitsubasa's eyes, she was just a clueless shut-in with zero emotional intelligence. With her clever little brain, monopolizing Natsuo would be a piece of cake!

Now, taking a closer look at Sora, Benitsubasa realized that the man smirking wickedly before her wasn't half bad.

Hmm, a bit handsome, though still not as good as her Natsuo. But for a stupid monkey, he was decent enough.

As for his claim of being the true Ashikabi, ha! Trying to fool her? Not a chance! Her Natsuo was the real deal. Who did this guy think he was?

Although shocked by Sora's strength, the tsundere Benitsubasa wouldn't give in so easily. Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to escape this predicament.

Let him gloat for now. Once I break free, I'll make him pay!

Seeing the ever-changing expressions on Benitsubasa's face and the way her pink eyes darted around, Sora could easily guess what she was thinking. However, his smile only grew wider.

Though she was a feisty little thing, that just made taming her all the more rewarding!

"Hey, stupid monkey… What do you think you're doing?"

Seeing Sora's wicked grin, Benitsubasa, who had just been plotting her escape, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. A sense of foreboding washed over her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit scared.

However, she knew the importance of not provoking someone when you're at a disadvantage. She wondered if she should pretend to compromise for now.

"Hehehe, little Benitsubasa, what do you think I'm going to do? You stomped on me quite happily earlier. Naturally, I'm going to return the favor!"

"Well, although it's a bit small, it'll have to do."

With a wicked grin, Sora's hands reached for Benitsubasa's chest.

Benitsubasa was utterly stunned by Sora's bold move, frozen in place for a moment. As his hands groped her forbidden territory, she couldn't believe what was happening.

"Ah!!!"

As Sora's hands began to knead, a strange sensation finally snapped Benitsubasa out of her daze. Overwhelmed by a mix of shame and fury, she let out an ear-piercing scream.

Fortunately, Sora had anticipated this and was prepared. Otherwise, her scream might have deafened him! Even so, it left him feeling a bit dizzy.

"Stupid monkey, get your filthy hands off me!" Benitsubasa roared, her face flushed with anger.

She struggled fiercely, but with her entire body bound by those strange vines, she couldn't do anything. If she were free, she would have already used her "Pulverizer" ability to obliterate this despicable man!

"Little girl, it seems you still don't understand the situation. You dare to be so fierce? But it's okay, we have plenty of time to take it slow."

Not bothered by her anger, Sora felt a twisted excitement as he watched the beautiful girl tied up and showing such a mix of shame and fury. Without hesitation, he let his hands roam freely over her body.

What followed was a chaotic scene, with the abandoned wine cellar echoing with Benitsubasa's constant curses. But instead of stopping Sora, her anger only fueled his desire to torment her further.

Time seemed to stretch endlessly, and Benitsubasa's curses gradually softened, her voice trembling until it turned into an odd, involuntary moan.

"Wuwuwu… Please let me go, I won't dare anymore…"

Her voice hoarse from screaming, Benitsubasa finally broke down in tears. Looking at her disheveled clothes and the fact that this man had touched every part of her body, she cried in despair.

Her body was meant for Natsuo, and now it had been defiled by this despicable man. The hatred in her heart was undeniable, and she wished she could tear Sora apart with her bare hands.

But after being tormented for so long, even though she hated him, she didn't dare show it anymore. All she could do was beg for mercy.

Being defiled by a stupid monkey, feeling pleasure from his touch, and begging for mercy—these were all unbearable humiliations for the proud Benitsubasa. It was a humiliation that she would never forget, a humiliation that demanded vengeance.

"Heh, finally begging for mercy? But it's not enough, little girl. You're still far, far from being qualified."

A smirk played on Sora's lips as he recalled the sensations from earlier. He wasn't about to let Benitsubasa off so easily. Once you start the process of taming, you have to see it through to the end. Stopping halfway would only lead to an endless cycle of hatred and revenge.

Benitsubasa was startled by his words. She had already given in, yet he still wasn't planning to let her go. Panic set in.

The feeling of being touched to the point where even her bones itched—she never wanted to experience that again!

In her desperation, her pink eyes glanced at Haihane, who had been silent all this time. An idea suddenly popped into her head.

Though she felt a bit guilty, Benitsubasa couldn't care less at this point. To save herself from further humiliation, she decided to sacrifice her companion.

Besides, she was feeling resentful. Why should she be the only one being tormented? This shut-in had to suffer too!

With that thought, Benitsubasa didn't hesitate to speak up:

"Wait! Go deal with Haihane first! Her chest is bigger than mine, so it'll definitely feel better!"

Her heart was bleeding as she said it. Her flat chest had always been a sore spot for her, and now she was forced to admit it out loud. She felt like dying!!!

Benitsubasa's words reminded Sora of the other Sekirei in the room. Haihane had been so quiet during the entire ordeal that he had almost forgotten about her.

A wicked smile spread across his face. As Benitsubasa had said, Haihane's figure was something Sora had always coveted. He decided to let Benitsubasa rest for a while and focus on taming Haihane first.

However, when he turned his gaze to Haihane, who was also bound by the vines, Sora was stunned.

Drool—yes, the girl was drooling while watching him torment Benitsubasa!!!

Black lines appeared on Sora's forehead as he looked at Benitsubasa with pity.

Poor girl, what kind of teammates do you have?!!!

Benitsubasa also noticed Haihane's drooling, foolish expression, and her anger flared up. Any trace of guilt she had felt earlier vanished.

Damn it, I'm over here suffering and being tortured, and you're over there enjoying the show!

"Ah! Haihane, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!! Kill you!!!"

Haihane snapped out of her daze at Benitsubasa's roar, but she didn't seem to care. Instead, she calmly said:

"Benitsubasa, flat chest…"

Sora was thunderstruck. Looking at Haihane, who could so calmly say such a thing, his eyes lit up with admiration.

A true goddess!

This was the pinnacle of the shut-in spirit, and today he had truly witnessed it!

As for Benitsubasa, she was so angry she almost spat blood. Her pink eyes were now bloodshot, clearly pushed to her limit.

"Stupid monkey, kill her! Do to her ten times, a hundred times what you did to me!" Benitsubasa, her CPU fried from rage, growled at Sora.

At this moment, she had forgotten everything. Her only thought was to make Sora torment Haihane just as he had tormented her. She wanted to see Haihane's humiliation firsthand.

Calling her flat-chested? This grudge had to be settled!

"Hehe, mission accepted. Let me help you vent your anger!" A wicked smile spread across Sora's face. He wouldn't refuse such a request.

Haihane, despite being a famous shut-in, had her own unique personality.

Her short silver hair often covered her forehead, and though she rarely spoke, she loved to make sarcastic remarks.

Except for her head, her entire body was wrapped in white bandages, likely imitating a mummy.

A close-combat Sekirei, her fingers were equipped with ten claws as weapons, and her strength was on par with Benitsubasa.

Looking at Haihane, Sora felt an unusual sensation. Although he already had several Sekirei, none were as intriguing as her. He had to have her!

"Well, little Haihane, you heard it. This is Benitsubasa's request, so I have to comply."

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to taming you two little Sekirei."

As he spoke, Sora's hands reached for Haihane's ample chest.

Compared to Benitsubasa, it was like comparing a mountain to a plain!

True to her shut-in nature, Haihane didn't seem to mind her sensitive areas being touched. She calmly said:

"Tame Benitsubasa, and I'll submit…"

Sora stopped in his tracks, staring at Haihane in shock. Even Benitsubasa was dumbfounded, her face filled with disbelief.

His lips twitched, and Sora, having regained his senses, let go of his hands. He turned to Benitsubasa, who was still in a daze, and patted her head with a look of sympathy:

"See, little Benitsubasa, you still have a long, long way to go…"
