Chapter 132
Watching Tatsumaki clutch her rear with a face pale from pain, Mineo spoke with a smile:
"So, do you still want to destroy my restaurant?"
"Do you still want to keep fighting me?"
"If you're still not convinced, we can go another round."
If looks could kill, Mineo probably would have been slaughtered by Tatsumaki thousands, if not tens of thousands of times over by now. But unfortunately for her, despite the sheer mountain of hatred she felt for this man, she didn't dare act arrogant anymore.
Even though her body was in pain, for some reason, an odd emotion had started to sprout in her heart. This feeling... why did it feel like pain mixed with a strange sense of pleasure?
Rubbing her backside, Tatsumaki curled up in the corner of the wall, looking utterly pitiful. When she saw Mineo walking toward her, she panicked and scrambled back a few steps.
"You... don't come any closer!"
"I... I'll never do it again!"
"Please, just let me go!"
Seeing Tatsumaki's tearful eyes, Erina couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her. She stepped in front of Mineo and spoke in a low voice:
"Mineo, that's enough."
"She probably didn't mean it earlier. And you've already given her a lesson..."
Waaaaah, this big sister is such a good person!
Hearing Erina plead on her behalf, Tatsumaki's eyes sparkled with emotion. However, Mineo's next words nearly made her die of sheer frustration.
Mineo said to Erina:
"This girl just hasn't faced any real hardship yet. I'm hitting her for her own good!"
"It's to save her from constantly offending people when she's out and about. As the saying goes, there's always a bigger fish. If she ran into a more ruthless enemy, this little girl might have been kidnapped and sold off to the mountains as a child bride already."
Seeing Mineo's serious expression, Erina felt helpless. Meanwhile, a terrified Tatsumaki quickly piped up:
"I... I promise I won't do things like that anymore!"
"I... I guarantee I'll be obedient from now on..."
"That's more like it. Since you've apologized so sincerely, as the bigger person, I won't hold the mistakes of a 'little person' against you. I'll generously forgive your rudeness this time!"
Mineo walked over to Tatsumaki and pulled her to her feet. As he did, he suddenly noticed that the backside of Tatsumaki's long black dress looked a little... damp.
Did he hit her so hard she had an accident out of fear? No way... was she really that fragile?
Noticing the odd look in Mineo's eyes, Tatsumaki's face instantly flushed bright red. She covered her backside tightly and backed away several paces.
"Can you... can you release the seal on my body?"
"I... I promise I won't attack you again..."
Seeing the genuine plea for mercy in her eyes, Mineo flicked his fingers, instantly releasing the psychokinesis he had been using to suppress her.
In an instant, Tatsumaki felt all her strength return. However, this time, she stayed perfectly quiet, not daring to show even a hint of her usual arrogance.
Seeing her standing there quietly, Mineo pointed to a dining table.
"Sit there!"
"Okay!"
Tatsumaki obediently sat exactly where he pointed. Mineo continued:
"Stay there quietly. You're not allowed to go anywhere. I'm going to the back kitchen to get something for you! Did you hear me?"
"I... I understand. I promise I won't move!"
Satisfied with her terrified compliance, Mineo nodded. He stepped into the kitchen, grabbed a few burgers, and brought them back out. Setting the burgers down in front of Tatsumaki, he said bluntly:
"Eat these."
"????"
Tatsumaki was completely baffled. She looked up at Mineo with a dazed expression, not understanding why he was suddenly feeding her. But Mineo wasn't in the mood to explain.
"When I tell you to eat, you eat. Finish every bit of it, don't let a single crumb go to waste!"
"If you don't, the belt is coming back for your backside!"
Threatened again, Tatsumaki almost burst into tears. As the tsundere Queen of Psychics, she was usually the one bullying others; no one ever dared to lay a finger on her. And yet, she had experienced a lifetime's worth of grievance all in one day!
She wanted to swear to God that even if she had to fight a God-level monster, she never wanted to step foot in this horrible restaurant again!
She had no choice. Even though she wanted to explode in anger, the mere sight of the belt in Mineo's hand terrified her into submission. She sat obediently and picked up the burgers, eating them with a truly pitiful expression on her face.
Watching her nibble at the burger, Mineo barked:
"Are you licking it or eating it?"
"Hurry up! Stop wasting time!"
"If you're too slow, you're getting another spanking!"
Faced with the threat, Tatsumaki started crying again!
Where did this evil, cruel, horrible Demon King even come from?
Mother, please come pick me up and take me home!
I don't want to go outside ever again!!! I want to go home...
Carrying her infinite sorrow and tears, Tatsumaki sped up, wolfing down the burgers on the table. Once finished, she looked up at Mineo.
"I... I finished them! Can I... can you let me go home now?"
"You really want to go home?"
"I do..."
"Fine then. You can leave now."
"The door is right there. Just push it and walk out..."
Tatsumaki froze. This Demon King... this absolute jerk... was actually just going to let her go?
No, it couldn't be that simple. Was he planning to wait until she got outside the door to start beating her up again?
