THE STORY OF LIVING AS I PLEASE AFTER BEING REINCARNATED IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH A RIDICULOUSLY CHEAT POWER - Chapter 26: Punishment
Chapter 26: Punishment
The young son of the merchant, Thomas, fell down in ruin without any backing. The association approved that I will be the one giving the punishment.
I’ve done the necessary preparations and invited the merchants on a wasteland away from the town, that’s where the punishment will be performed.
Most of the merchants who came to see the lynching were hungry for entertainment.
I’ve previously instructed the adventurers from the guild to tie him up and strip his clothes.
「D-damn it!! W-what are you going to do?」
The frenzied Thomas was presented in the wasteland tied up.
「Now, will it be whipping?」
「Fufu……Well、please take a look」
I tied up the young man Thomas in a pole(TN: I thought he was tied up earlier, I may be wrong in TL again), and coated him with sugar solution.
「Hii! W-what are you doing? S-sto……!」
「Coating you up nicely, starting from your head to your toe, your penis and anus too, I’m filling you up」
The adventurers coated him with sugar solution, not touching his pinky sized penis, it stood up.
The merchants who are spectating laughed out loud
「And then, what are you going to do with this??」
「We’ll leave him like that for three days and three nights.」
「……? Just like that? There doesn’t seem to be any monsters around in this area……」
「C-could this be……!」(TN: Masaka!)
One of the merchants noticed and turned pale
「Yes, there’s a colony of “red poison ants” in here. Come, let’s have a drink on the other side of the river while waiting for the ants to appear. Let’s move before the ants gather.」
Red poison ants are attracted to sugar and blood, and they have a weak poison.
When bitten, you won’t die, but will be attacked by a tingling pain and ferocious itching.
The merchants left the place in hurry and I prepared the meal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
「Higyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Idaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
Gyuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!」(TN: “Ouch”)
On the other side of the river, the red poison ant were swarming on Thomas can be seen, he’s shouting in agony.
I calmly swirled the wine and enjoyed the aroma.
「How’s the wine and the side dish? I’ve prepared a lot of them」
「…………」
The merchants were pale, their arms weren’t even moving.
「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
My diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!
It huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrts!!!!」
Thomas’ scream was a good side dish, I continued to enjoy the wine.
「U-Umm….D-demon-dono……」
「Yes? What is it?」
「E-even if the red poison ants were weak, if left alone he will die you know?」
「Oh, about that, the healers I’ve hired from the guild are healing him on a rotating shift, they’ll heal him if he’s about to die. Don’t worry, he won’t die」
The merchants who heard it got even paler.
It’s because they know that torturing him for three days and three nights without killing him is hell.
「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
giiiiiiiiiiil meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
pwease giiiil meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!」(TN: “Kill”)
「Hahaha! Outlaws who try to steal someone else’s belongings should be punished…am I right, everyone?」
The pale merchants nodded their heads as they were overawed.
The banquet was done, but Thomas’ scream still continued.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the end, Thomas didn’t die.
After three days and three nights, he was released, I healed and detoxified him, and sent him back to his parents
Thomas didn’t die, but he lost eyesight because of the red poison ants, his body was swollen red, his spirit is ill, he’s already a broken man.
If he doesn’t receive periodic spirit magic treatment, he’ll be unable to live his daily life.
After seeing the brutality, not only the merchants, but everyone in the city doesn’t even try to trick me anymore.
