What will you do?

Offer the lovers an ultimatum

With a sigh of apparent regret, you explain that the purpose of spanking is to allow young women to receive guidance from older men. Clearly, Himari is being led astray by following the lead of her girlfriend, who hasn't benefitted from several years of corporal punishment. Therefore, although the offence is relatively minor and might only require a couple of swats apiece if both of them were of spankable age, you need to discipline her sufficiently severely to ensure said girlfriend can't undo your good work with a counter-spanking of her own.

"Himari, what is the worst punishment your girlfriend has ever given you?"

She opens her mouth to speak, then stops, before talking in what you think is Japanese. Her mistress replies in kind and then translates for you.

"A few years, er, Himari is bratting, er, at work, er. Damage, er, reputation, er. I take her away, er, and spank her two hundred fifty time, er. Worst, er, spanking, er."

"With your hand?"

She shakes her head. "With paddle, er." She indicates the size with her hands, comparable to a hairbrush.

"Very well," you say. "I will give Himari three hundred swats with her paddle and then five lashes with a long whip for not having the courtesy of at least trying to reply in English whilst she's staying here." From the gasps, it's apparent that both youngsters understand your words.

"Please, er, sir," Himari forces herself to address you in the local language. "Paddle is worse, er, Yuina paddle. Five, er, swats worse, er, ten swats."

"Good," you reply. "That will make three hundred highly effective in teaching you not to follow Yuina when she makes bad choices, as I'm sure she will without discipline of her own."

Two pairs of tearing eyes look back at you and you're sure Yuina is sorry for getting her submissive into so much trouble. Probably sorry for bringing her here on holiday at all, actually.

"Of course, if Yuina were to accept discipline for the duration of her stay, I would be much more confident that she would develop greater responsibility and stop encouraging misbehaviour, so I wouldn't need to be so harsh with you."
