Geng (True Body): HP-6
As expected… this means my true body can no longer be seen by others. Otherwise, my HP will drop further. Just 4 points would've been bad enough, but because this body was seen, my HP dropped by 6 instead!
At this moment, my "truly fake body" (from now on, until something changes, I'll just refer to this body as myself, since the real me is inside Triss's body anyway) is under twice as strict surveillance. All thanks to my sloppy but surprisingly effective lie.
"Hey, can't you let me go, big brother… big sister…?"
"No way!"
"Don't even talk to that kid! If you fall under the kid's power, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Come on, no way. The kid already used their trump card, and their level doesn't seem that high. They probably can't use it again anytime soon. Plus, this kid's so cute and doesn't even cry or make a fuss."
"Hmph… if something happens, don't expect me to help you."
"No worries! This kid's already accepted the 'Mark of Repentance,' hasn't they?"
"Haha, the 'Mark of Repentance,' huh?"
As everyone probably guessed, when Uncle took Triss (me) to escape, I casually strolled out and shouted, "Hahaha! All I had to do was use my trump card to create an illusion, tricking them into thinking their daughter's ghost came to haunt them. I said if they didn't quit this job, I'd die with my eyes open! And just like that, they fled back home. Too easy!" Loud and clear. The kidnapping gang immediately dragged me back, fired Uncle on the spot, and didn't even pay him his salary.
Then they told me to accept the Mark of Repentance as punishment. I went along with it to avoid causing trouble for Uncle or stirring up more problems. After all, this is just a fake body. I don't care that much…
While I, dressed in an adorable, frilly princess outfit, sat waiting for some kind-hearted billionaire to buy me, my true body was busy experimenting with something bizarre (but I'll explain that in the next chapter).
Speaking of which…

Whoa! You're checking on me non-stop, huh, Melt? Thanks for worrying about me!
…
…
Crack!
After an unbearably boring wait—since big brother and big sister barely talked to me, and my true body's HP kept dropping without stopping—suddenly, both of my captors walked out.
"Well, well, my adorable little princess?"
"Uh, um, yes…?"
"Heh, so cute. Totally worth the nearly 400,000 Zen I paid, plus the bonus of the mark and bracelet."
And the person who walked in was a strikingly handsome young man, muscular and charming, the kind who'd make any girl's heart melt just by looking at him… Oh, wow. Even as a guy, I can't help but think this dude's so good-looking it's almost infuriating. His charm is unreal! And that outfit? Insanely high-class, like, rich vibes! It's practically noble attire! What rank is he? …Whatever, I'll play along for now. Maybe I'll get a chance to escape.
"You're staring, huh? I'm glad you don't seem to hate me."
"Uh, I mean… sorry. You're just so handsome, big brother, I couldn't look away."
"Mmm, that's the spirit. This'll make things much easier for us to have some fun… Look at this. I'm wearing this bracelet just for you."
Then he raised his wrist… What's that bracelet? It's gorgeous. The gem on it sparkles, shining right at me…
And then… what a lovely scent. So fragrant, so nice… Mmm, if this nobleman punishes me, beats me, or even… does that to me, it wouldn't be so bad, would it? I kinda want him to do everything… Wait, huh!?
"Huh!? Huh!?"
"Heh heh… Good, good. The mark and bracelet are working perfectly, aren't they?"
Thud.
Oh noooo!!! He's sitting on the bed right next to me, undoing the top of my frilly princess dress, his hand sliding from my head down to my lips.
This isn't like Uncle at all. Definitely not!! This kind of touch is—
"Your skin's so smooth. Absolutely perfect. Just my type."
"Uh, ugh… M-My lord… I… I want to be punished…"
I'm about to be… done by him. Scary… Wait, is it scary? Why don't I feel scared at all? I want him to punish me harder. Please, pull this repentant little lamb's face closer to you, my lord… I want to let you punish me in every way possible?!
Geng (True Body): HP-6 … HP+3
(True Body)
Whoa, something's off! Suddenly, that body's thoughts are splitting from my true body's thoughts. I can still control it, but breaking free would take some extra power (which I don't want to use yet, since it'd look too weird if those goddess types are watching). But what's this? Am I being hypnotized!? Oh no, that item and the Mark of Repentance we accepted—it's not just a mark! It's something else entirely!!!
(True Body)
And then his lips slowly moved closer, closer to my face… I'm about to be punished by my lord…
"Ah, ahh…"
"Heh heh…"
(True Body)
Nooooooooo!!! Even if it's a fake body, NO!
Everyone, this guy's a noble who's into kids!! Police! Police!!! Wait, no, this is another world! Plus, I'm a lawless barbarian here, and this guy's a rich, handsome noble. This place is a caravan of debauchery!!! There's no hope of escaping the normal way!!!
Hold on, hold on! Normally, it'd be some fat, bald, creepy old man with a beer belly and weird tastes, right? Not this! At this rate, the story's gonna get slapped with an 18+ rating!!!
Geng (True Body): HP-6 … HP+3
(True Body)
Guess I've got no choice but to use that and pull it out discreetly!!
End of Chapter 10
Nooooooooo!!! Even if it's a fake body, NO!
