Chapter 36 by Gambio

Next Episode: 26th March

Strategy time

Megan was sullenly following the rich slut.

Of course she had absolutely zero interest in doing that. Every single person here was scum.

Yesterday, she spent most of her work day guiding penguins through the mansion. She hated every minute of it but at the very least the penguins didn’t talk. And once her eight hours were done she could hide herself away in her room and play Club Penguin on her laptop. The game sucks but it was the only site her laptop could access.

Unfortunately, sluts take precedents over penguins and because this slut had employed her service Megan had ****. And it beat sticking with the scary teacher.

The slut was yapping the entire way too. Luckily she didn’t seem to care that Megan never responded, so she just skipped the dialog.

“Megan”, the slut said in a tone different enough that it caught her attention. “I understand that you are rather unaccustomed to conversing with people of higher standing. But there is no need for overmuch decorum. My Lady will suffice. Beyond that simply don’t speak unless spoken too.”

Megan felt that the last part could be arranged.

“Let us dispense with the pleasantries. I have decided to honor you with a tremendous opportunity. Pledge your allegiance to my house and a most marvelous future awaits you!”

“Don’t want to…” Megan responded with some mumbling.

The slut either didn’t hear her or didn’t care. “You see, I have decided to win this competition and a Marvelous always gets what she wants. It is thus in your best interest to ally yourself to my cause sooner rather than later.”

Megan very much doubted that.

“To do so, there is but one little thing that is required of you.”

Sahara stopped her walk and turned around.

She was smiling.

Megan instinctively flinched.

“Show your loyalty by making that Devil Deal with Kikki.”

…

“...don’t want to.”

“Why not?”, the slut asked, genuinely astonished. “Kikki is already my lackey. Liz has been brought into the fold as well. My Sahara clique is growing stronger by the day. What reason could you possibly have to spurn my generosity?”

Megan tried to come up with an excuse. It would be easy if only she had her laptop. She hated talking face to face. But she wasn’t allowed to use it when she was on the job.

The rich slut looked like she was getting impatient. Fuck her. Just leave me alone, you bitch.

“cause….”, the NEET finally grunted out. “...already took a deal.”

Sahara blinked. “Eh?”

“Y-yeah”, Megan nodded quickly “I like money, so...I took the money deal..ehehehe…”

“You...You fool!”, the slut roared. “Why would you go and do something so insipid?”

Megan flinched. Y-Yeah. That was what she thought. I’m useless. Now hurry up and leave me alone.

The rich slut huffed exasperated.

But she did not storm off.

“Well, no matter”, she said instead. “In that case we simply must change our strategy.”

…

Eh?

The slut smiled.

“Fortuitously, I already have an angle.”

Oh no.

This looks like it will be a very long day for Megan.

...

The breakfast was not very enjoyable.

The food wasn’t at fault for that but the moment Ora had finished her announcement de Sade’s aura reactivated, causing every contestant present to once again acutely feel her intimidating pressure.

Sahara bolted first. Opting to flee rather to stay in the teachers vicinity any longer. Megan followed her just a few seconds later, looking only slightly less terrified.

Ashley wanted to talk with both of them but felt that giving an order now might only result in both of them losing points for disobedience. Besides, he had to keep a certain feral dog girl at bay who was ready to rip out de Sade’s throat.

Fortunately for the rest of the group, de Sade didn’t seem keen to stay for very long either. The teacher left after a single cup of black coffee, but not without calling Carol to follow her. The redhead didn’t seem very enthusiastic but obeyed nonetheless.

That left Shizuka(who seemed in no hurry at all), Kikki, Liz(who was still kept at bay by Ashley) and Dahlia.

And of course Ashley himself.

“Yeah! Run away with yer tail tucked between yer legs!”, Liz snarled towards the exit long after the teacher had left. “Just ya wait. Shortstuff can’t protect ya forever! FOOKING CUNT!”

“Sit”, Ashley commanded for what felt like the dozenth time today. He had a feeling he would have to do this a couple dozen times more.

“This is bad”, Dahlia glanced at the enraged dog girl with a concerned frown. “If she can’t control her temper…”

The busty brunette didn’t need to finish her thought. If Liz were to seriously attack De Sade, she would without a doubt get eliminated.

And unfortunately, the doggie delinquent was correct. Ashley won’t be around to reign her in forever.

“Such a bad doggie”, Kikki smiled innocently while drinking a glass of banana milk through a straw. “Want me to help out? The Doggie has enough points for a deal now.”

“Ya can shove yer deals where the sun don’t shine.”

“I think we need a more non verbal solution”, Shizuka suggested instead. “Got some meds in my lab that would work wonders for aggression. Come in syringe form too. Side effects are...manageable.”

“Piss on that”, Liz spat. “I’m not letting myself get neutered by ya fooks!”

“Unfortunately for you, pets don’t have a right of consent.” The doctor's smile was only slightly deranged.

Ashley wasn’t a fan of that plan either. Especially given his own experience with Shizu’s medicine.

“Then what else are we supposed to do?” Dahlia shook her head in exasperation. “You can’t control yourself around de Sade. The teacher knows and will exploit that.”

“Can’t control myself around ya either, melon tits”, Liz showed a wolfish smile. “But just ya wait til tomorrow. I’ll give ya and that cunt teacher a good floggin’ in the challenge. That oughta set me straight.”

“We don’t even know if it’s that sort of challenge”, Dahlia argued back. “Besides, **** is never the answer.”

“Fook that. If **** isn’t the answer…IT’S BECAUSE YER NOT USING ENOUGH OF IT!”

“SIT!”

Kikki giggled as she watched Liz slam back into the ground. “You knoooow, Big Sis Dahlia is one thing, but you probably shouldn’t be too eager to beat the meanie teacher up tomorrow.”

“Why the fook not?”, Liz barked towards Kikki. "Crikey, it's a blue! Ya gotta give yer mate a floggin'!"

“Is it?”, Kikki played around with her straw and showed an enigmatic smile.

“What are you talking about, Kikki?”, Ashley asked.

“Eh? You haven’t figured it out either, big Bro?”, his younger sister smirked mockingly. “Is your brain not working properly yet? Maybe you had a bit too much fun last night.”

Both Ashley and Dahlia flushed.

Meanwhile Shizuka tipped on her mini challenge pamphlet. At one line in particular.

7) move down one social rank(only if not lowest/otherwise -3VP)

...

Ah!

That was enough for Ashley to connect the dots.

Ending at seventh would certainly be a bad placement for most contestants.

However, de Sade held the Mistress rank. For her, ending seventh would mean dropping down to manager.

De Sade as manager. Ashley didn’t even want to think about it.

“Eh, what's the bloody hoo-ha?”, Liz scoffed. “All I gotta do is boot the cunt out first so she ends up on eight, no worries, mate.”

“Oh myyyy”, Kikki sighed and shook her head.“Anyone want to teach the silly doggie why that won’t work?”

For a bit nobody spoke up.

“Carol!”, Dahlia finally blurted out. “You think she will sacrifice herself?”

“Bingo!” Kikki smiles. “If Miss Boobies drops out first, the meanie teacher can end in seventh without issue. The meanie teacher is probably telling her something along those lines right now.”

"Not a bad shout." Liz grudgingly admitted. “How can ya be so bloody sure she'll do that? Seems to me that stuck-up cunts too proud to chuck a game.”

“Because that’s what I would do. And the meanie teacher is almost as smart as me.”

“Hold on”, Ashley interjected. “There’s an obvious counter play to this.”

“Counter? What flamin' counter are ya on about now, Shortstuff?"

“Good job, big bro!”, Kikki beamed. “You’re right! All that has to happen is me or Big Sis Shizuka coming in second. That way we swap places with the meanie teacher instead.”

Liz cocked her head in confusion, not unlike an actual dog. It didn’t seem like she was able to follow along anymore.

“If two social ranks vie for the same spot they will swap places with each other instead”, Dahlia recapped the rules. “So it’s fine, right? There is no way de Sade will take that risk.”

Kikki showed the brunette a smirk. “Maybe? She might also think that we think that. Or maybe the doggie won’t listen and kick her out regardless. Or maybe the rules aren’t so straight forward and placement manipulation isn’t that easy.”

Liz let out a groan. “Bloody oath, this bonza load of rubbish is givin' me a fair dinkum headache…”

Kikki giggled. “That’s ok. All you have to remember is to go easy on Big Sis Shizuka and me. That way we have a high chance of avoiding the worst case scenario.”

“So that’s what you were aiming for!”, Dahlia gasped in outrage.

Kikki merely stuck her tongue out in response. “Hehe, don’t worry, if I end up manager I will be a super nice one!”

“Don’t try giving me the gig”, Shizuka said while scratching the back of her head. “That whole challenge sounds like a pain, so I’m not planning on trying very hard.”

Kikki smiled. “Well then. Looks like the duty falls to me.”

“You will not get away with this!”, Dahlia thundered. “In the first place all you have said is just conjecture! There is no reason for any of us to go along with this!"

"Eh, then what else do you suggest, Big Sis?"

Dahlia nodded. "All this scheming will only make things worse. The best we can do tomorrow is give it our all and fight fair and square!"

“And wouldn’t that be very convenient for you?”, Shizuka glared at Dahlia.

The brunette flushed. “What are you insinuating?”

“Don’t play dumb with me. If Sadie ends up becoming manager she can weed out the competition for you. All while you can keep wearing your nice girl mask.”

“That’s enough, Shizu!”, Ashley cut in sharply. “These accusations help no one!”

“Accusations?”, Shizuka raised an eyebrow. “Ashy-ko, you realize she’s the one who made that Devil Deal, right?”

Dahlia blanched. “T-that...that is a lie.”

“Is it now?", Shizuka's glare became even more withering. "And I guess that puddle of milk in my room was a lie as well? Tell me, what business did you possibly have in our room yesterday? Business that was agitating enough that you started lactating.”

The air seemed to get colder. Ashley looked at Dahlia but the brunette only bit her lip and avoided his eyes.

“FOOK THAT!”

Liz roared, jumped up and bolted towards the exit.

For a scant few seconds, Ashley was too stunned to even react.

“Ash!”, Dahlia screamed.

C-crap! He let his guard down!

“SIT!”

“NAHNAHNAH, NOT LISTENIN’ TO YA! GROAAAAAAAAHHHH!”

Liz was screaming her head off while clamping both of her hands over her ears.

THIS COMPLETE LUNATIC!

In the end, the unruly dog girl managed to escape her master.

…

“I demand you make this right!”

Sahara was shouting furiously towards the pink haired maid.

Cherry merely glared at her with a bored look.

Sahara’s new strategy was to return to the Magic Cherry Shop and undo the purchase she made yesterday. Megan didn’t think it that good of an idea but the blonde insisted.

Unfortunately, the pink maid didn’t seem in a very helpful mood. (Not that she ever was) “What about your angle?” She asked.

Sahara flushed. “Never mind that! I want to return my purchase!”

Cherry glanced at Megan who was busy browsing the many shelf’s then she looked back at Sahara.

“Nah.”

“Ugggghhhh!!! This is inexcusable! Your rudeness is beyond the pale! Let me speak to the manager!”

“The shitty, little brat is currently unavailable. Screamed her head off about some winter witch proactively stealing her idea.” Cherry somehow managed to look even more annoyed than usual.

“Don’t you have work to get to?”

“Work? I can’t work like this! This is humiliating!”

While Sahara was having a tantrum, Megan slowly approached the counter. She showed her companion something that looked like a pack of trading cards.

Sahara rolled her eyes at the meager offerings. “I am not paying for some useless nerd stuff.”

But Megan was adamant.

Handy Tip: 50 BP

Receive a handy tip. (Tip may be not handy)

“Eh?”

A tip?

“Yep. Only 50 BP per tip. I recommend it very heartily. They are flying off the shelves.”, Cherry said unenthusiastically.

…

Only 50 BP.

That was indeed very cheap. A tip might be just what Sahara needed to solve her predicament.

“Very well!”, the rich girl proclaimed. “I buy it!”

“Sure thing.”

Handy Tip: 50 BP

Receive a handy tip. (Tip may be not handy)

Wasting no time, Sahara ripped the package open.

Handy Tip:

Ora is the greatest host in existence.

…

“THAT WAS NOT HANDY AT ALL!”

“It did say the tip may not actually be handy”, Cherry calmly responded back. “And no, you are not getting a refund.”

Grrr….

“Wanna buy another?”

This was a gamble, Sahara knew. And the trick to gambling was to never give up until you win.

“Fine!”

…

Handy Tip: 50 BP

Mira did nothing wrong

“UGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Sahara was violently tearing up the many handy tips she got.

“THESE ARE ALL COMPLETELY USELESS!”

The blonde complained loudly.

“I want my money back!”

Hedhehogstew69: Was it Lola?

“It says the tips might not be handy. And no comment”, Cherry commented matter of factly.

Sahara could not believe this. She just dumped 500 Points down the drain. Why is everyone in this universe conspiring against her?

While the rich girl was lamenting her fate, Megan was crouching over the torn pieces. She was studying them with an uncharacteristically concentrated look on her face.

Sahara also couldn’t believe she thought that witless nerd to be of some use.

“What is it now?”, the rich girl asked.

Hedhehogstew69: Show me what you bought

Sahara blushed. “I really rather not.”

Unfortunately for Sahara that was a chore

Chore: Show me what you bought 0.5 VP(halved to 0.25 VP)

With a frustrated groan, Sahara lifted her already very short prisoner shirt, exposing her tanned stomach and steel chastity belt beneath.

Scavenger fun Chastity cage -2000 BP

Buy your very own chastity cage. The key to the cage will be placed at at a random location in penguin manor. Unlocking the cage without the key is impossible.

Hedhehogstew69: !!!

“W-what?”

Still holding the hem of her shirt up, Sahara could only blink in confusion.

Hedhehogstew69: Shopkeep

Hedhehogstew69: BUY TALK ASK LEAVE

Hedhehogstew69: About this manor

Hedhehogstew69: Name

And for the first time since the two entered, Cherry showed a smile.

“This place is called Ludo Manor.”

And now Megan was doing that thing she likes to do. Smiling creepily.

“So what of it?”, Sahara finally able to lower her shirt, rolled her eyes:. “Our home is called the Marvelous Estate and it is much more grand!”

Megan tipped on the description of the chastity cage

Particularly the phrase “penguin manor”

…

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!”

Wait, What does that mean?

This is Ludo Manor

But the key is in Penguin Manor.

…

“HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THE KEY THEN!”

Cherry only shrugged.

“You tricked me!”, Sahara gasped, outraged. “This is false advertising!”

Hedhehogstew69: actually

Hedhehogstew69: few places

Hedhehogstew69: like maybe its’ not literal idk penguin manor could stand for a couple places in l manor

Hedhehogstew69: *this manor

Oh!

“Are you insinuating there is a place called Penguin Manor in Ludo Manor?”

Megan nodded.

Haha!

“Well done, my loyal servant! Escort me to these places at once!”

At last matters are starting to look up for Sahara!

…

“Your performance so far has been inadequate, Miss Summers.”

Carol was trembling with dread. The older woman was always a very intimidating individual.

But now? That terrifying sensation had amplified.

In stark contrast, de Sade was casually reclining on a sofa, sipping on a glass of wine while the freckled redhead could only stand at attention.

The teacher's purple eyes were fixated on her.

“What do you think was your biggest error these past few days?”

Carol thought about it for a few seconds. Normally she felt more quick witted but the fear was impeding her thought process. A few options came to mind but she had to answer fast. Her teacher was not accustomed to waiting.

“I-I failed to convince Pompadour of your victory.”

There was no change in de Sade’s facade.

“Is that your final answer?”

Carol trembled. She wasn’t confident. There was no formula to arrive at the answer here. It was vague. Based on feelings. Carol always despised these types of questions.

“Yes.”

SLAP!

slapped another contestant +2 VP

First time bonus +1VP

received a slapping from another contestant(first time only-2 VP

First time bonus -1VP

Violation of the masters no **** rule -0.5 VP

The slap was akin to a whip. Sharp and fast. It took a moment for Carol to even register the sting.

“Your biggest error was the behavior you showed during this morning's meeting. When you saw that I lost points you doubted me. You thought I erred."

Carol widened her eyes. She wanted to stammer out an excuse but she also knew better than to object.

“For a split second you presumed to think that I was not infallible. That my mind is capable of mistakes. No other transgression could possibly be more egregious.”

“P-Please forgive me, my Mistress! It will never happen again!”

“My victory is assured”, de Sade told her. “Your position however is not. Never forget that.”

…

When she left the Mistress Suite, Carol Summers felt miserable.

Of course that was a feeling she was quite accustomed to these past few days.

If only she managed to convince Pompadour. In doing so her position would have been secured.

She grabbed her cheek where her Mistress hit her. The pain was long gone but the feeling remained. The redhead almost wished her toothache returned. That would at the very least serve as some distraction but ever since that...session with Doctor Hayabusa it was completely gone.

No more mistakes.

She had to focus on her mission. And she had to be perfect. That was all there was to it.

First…

“THERE YA ARE!”

Carol looked back and found herself face to face with the delinquent.

Liz had a deranged smile on her lips. “"G'day, Carol. Fancy meeting you here. Let's have a bit of a chinwag, eh?"

The nerd quickly weighed her options. Should she run away? No, there is no way she can escape the much faster woman.

Fight? That was even more absurd.

That only left one option. Negotiation.

“Sinclair”, Carol began, attempting to keep the trembling out of her voice. “What do you wish to talk about?”

Liz smiled. An easy smile that Carol saw many times before. The smile of a predator. “Reckon it's fair dinkum obvious, mate. You're gettin' a bit too chummy with the bloody teacher, ain't ya?”

Carol inhaled. “It is my own prerogative with whomI spend my time.”

“Ya think so?”

She will not let herself get intimidated.

Compared to her mistress, this bully was nothing.

“Yes, and if you continue to displease Miss de Sade...

Liz slammed the palm of her hand directly in the wall above Carol

Kabedon +0.5 VP( Liz)

First Time Bonus +1 VP

Kabedonned -0.5 (Carol)

First Time Bonus -1 VP

"Whatcha reckon'll happen then, eh? Spill the beans, runt.”

Yikes.

“C-calm down. If you attack me it won’t end well for you.”

“That a fact?”, the bully responded coolly. “Won’t end well for ya either, ya know.”

“Ey!”

Suddenly Carol ducked down and dove between Liz’s legs

“Oi!” Liz bent down to grab the nerd but suddenly found that her legs weren’t moving. “What the!”

sticky ground: 100 BP

A trap that will cause the victim to be stuck to the ground for 60 seconds. Can be purchased multiple times to increase the effect.

All she could do was look through her legs as Carol ran away.

“GET BACK HERE!”

Suffice to say, Carol did not heed that order.

For a moment, Liz was furious.

Then her mouth twisted into a grin.

Alright then.

The hunt is on.
