Chapter 204: Sincere Apology and Shoe Licking
Rigel had put a stop to the harassment against Char.
Ero-Ra, Rebecca, and Nino were on their knees, desperately apologizing.
(Hmph... Looking at them like this, were they really not involved in the harassment? Or perhaps...)
Rigel looked at the three girls with suspicion.
They were S-Class students.
They had already been broken by him, but toward other students they acted arrogantly—especially toward E-Class students.
Judging from their usual behavior, he could not fully believe their claims.
"For now, I’ll have you three receive suitable punishment... for ruining my plan."
Rigel had planned to enjoy raping Char in various fun situations while still hiding his true nature and power from her.
Yet these three had knelt before him right in front of Char.
Of course an apology was necessary, but doing it so openly risked Char noticing his real identity and strength.
It was nothing short of careless.
"Hiii!? W-what are you going to do to us!?"
"We were wrong! So at least spare our lives...!!"
"Please don’t harm our parents back home...!!"
Terror twisted the faces of Ero-Ra and the others.
Not a trace remained of their earlier arrogance.
They were now like frogs frozen under Rigel’s glare—only able to tremble.
"Relax... I am a generous man. If you show me deeper sincerity, I’ll forgive you."
Rigel glared at the three girls as he spoke.
Now that Char was asleep, there was little need for him to continue hiding his true nature and power.
However, other students were still present.
"You! From what I’ve heard, you’re being incredibly rude to Ero-Ra-sama!!"
"Yeah! And if my respected Rebecca-sama gets serious, she could beat the crap out of a guy like you in an instant!!"
The two followers of Ero-Ra and Rebecca shouted.
They were utterly confused by the situation.
They could not understand why the elite members of the ’Miracle Generation’—their superiors—were groveling before the lowest-ranked S-Class male.
"Know your place, you bottom-feeder!! Kneel before ’Awakened’ Rebecca-sama!!"
"Exactly! Showing such disrespect to Ero-Ra-sama, bearer of the title ’Illusion Eye’! You deserve the death penalty!!"
The two followers hurled their threats at Rigel.
They completely believed in the strength of Rebecca and Ero-Ra.
"...That’s what they’re saying. What will you do, Rebecca? Are you going to beat me to a pulp?"
"Hii!? N-no! They’re just saying that on their own!! I have completely submitted to Rigel-sama!"
Rebecca frantically denied it the moment Rigel addressed her.
She was desperate.
If she did not deny it immediately, there was no telling what Rigel would do to her.
"How about you, Ero-Ra? It seems you’re going to execute me. You have the ’Illusion Eye,’ right? Want to test whether it works on me?"
"I-I’m sorry! Please don’t take the nonsense of those inferiors seriously! I don’t want to die!!"
Ero-Ra also shouted her denial.
She was known as the bearer of the ’Illusion Eye.’
Her unique magic could trap opponents in an illusion world and torment them one-sidedly.
But that only worked against weaker opponents.
It had no effect on Rigel.
Worse, she still remembered the terror of having the illusion world taken over and suffering a horrific rape.
She had zero intention of defying him.
"What about you, Nino? If you’ve made a new poison, I’ll gladly drink it. It’s been boring lately since you stopped trying anything."
"N-no! I would never... a poison..."
Nino was completely terrified of Rigel.
She held the title ’Extravagant Alchemist.’
Besides the aphrodisiac she had used on Char, she could create all kinds of poisons and paralytics.
Right after Rigel enrolled, she had tried several times to poison him with non-lethal toxins to force him to drop out, but every attempt had failed.
Now she was too afraid of him to try anything.
"Hmph... Boring answers. Well, if that’s how it is, there’s still something you can do. Come on, show me a more sincere apology."
"S-sincere apology...?"
"That’s right. Lick my shoes. The ones you all love so much..."
Rigel ordered the three girls.
It was humiliating, but for them it was nothing new—they had done it many times before.
However, there was one crucial difference this time.
"U-um... There are other people watching..."
Ero-Ra muttered uncomfortably.
Char was asleep so that was fine, but many other students were still around.
The two followers and the eight onlookers.
Being seen licking shoes by others was something they strongly resisted.
"Fufu... Don’t worry about that. I don’t care if these nobodies see it—except for Char."
Rigel declared.
With Char, he had planned to keep hiding his power and true nature while enjoying various rapes.
That was why having her witness the shoe-licking scene would be bad.
But for the rest of them, he didn’t particularly care.
If the entire grade witnessed it, future school rape play might become too predictable, but two followers plus eight onlookers was still within an acceptable range.
He could simply rape them afterward to silence them and punish them at the same time.
That was what Rigel was thinking.
"Well? What’s wrong? Hurry up and lick my shoes. Or do you mean you have no intention of apologizing at all?"
"N-no, that’s not it! B-but..."
Faced with Rigel’s demand, Ero-Ra and the others hesitated.
Could they maintain the dignity of the ’Miracle Generation’ in front of their followers and the onlookers...?
—-
Rigel had ordered Ero-Ra and the others to lick his shoes.
Faced with that demand, the three girls hesitated.
Although they had already submitted to Rigel, they desperately wanted to avoid licking his shoes in front of their followers and the onlookers.
"What’s wrong? Hurry up... If you keep me waiting too long, I’ll have no choice but to take other measures."
Rigel’s threat was extremely effective on the three girls.
(Uu... With Rigel-sama, there’s no telling what he’ll do...!)
Tension ran across their faces.
With his overwhelming combat ability, Rigel was capable of anything—making them march through the royal capital completely naked, raping them to death, or slaughtering their entire families.
They did not want to suffer any of those fates.
(Do I... really have to do it?)
Ero-Ra fearfully reached out toward Rigel’s shoe, but her hand stopped.
Rebecca and Nino were frozen in the same way.
They could not seem to cross that final line.
"Hmm. So you refuse to apologize... Is that your answer?"
"Hii!? N-no! I am reflecting on my actions!!"
Ero-Ra panicked at Rigel’s words.
She gathered her courage and licked his shoe.
Kneeling in a dogeza position and licking his shoe—this was complete submission.
Rigel placed his hand on the back of Ero-Ra’s head and pressed her face firmly against his shoe.
"Come on, lick it properly."
"U-uu... Y-yes..."
(I hate this... but at the same time... Being dominated by Rigel-sama feels...)
Ero-Ra was intoxicated by the humiliating situation.
She had licked his shoes several times before, but this was the first time doing it in front of followers and onlookers.
The open, public setting was accelerating her masochistic pleasure.
"Haa... haa... Rigel-sama’s shoe tastes so good..."
"I feel like... I’ve reached a new level..."
Following Ero-Ra’s example, Rebecca and Nino also began licking his shoes.
Their expressions had melted with pleasure.
It seemed Ero-Ra was not the only extreme masochist among them.
The ones watching in shock were the two followers.
"E-Ero-Ra-sama...? What on earth are you...?"
"The strongest Rebecca-sama... submitting to a bottom-feeder like this...?"
It was an unbelievable sight.
Ero-Ra licking shoes. Rebecca submitting.
The two followers had always admired them.
Ero-Ra and Rebecca were part of the famous ’Miracle Generation’—overwhelmingly powerful and top-ranked students who had entered the Royal Academy with stellar results.
By becoming their followers, the two girls had secured their own positions within S-Class.
The influence of the promising ’Miracle Generation’ was enormous.
They had trained every day in hopes of becoming part of it themselves.
For them, the scene before their eyes was a massive shock.
"Hey now... What a bunch of hopeless perverts. I’m not even making you suck my cock—just licking shoes, and you’re like this."
Rigel looked down at them with a wicked grin.
Just as he said, clear pleasure was visible on the faces of Ero-Ra and the others.
It was as if licking his shoes brought them immense joy.
(What... should I do...? My dignity as the bearer of the ’Illusion Eye’... the glory of the ’Miracle Generation’ is disappearing... But... ah... the pleasure of being dominated by Rigel-sama...)
Ero-Ra was torn by conflicting emotions.
If this continued, her reputation among her followers would plummet.
Even that might be tolerable.
The real problem was that rumors would spread to every class through the onlookers, destroying her reputation throughout the academy.
However, the more she licked Rigel’s shoes, the hazier her mind became and the more her ability to think straight was stolen away.
She could no longer make normal judgments.
"Hmph... This doesn’t even look like an apology anymore. It’s more like a reward."
Rigel looked down at them and sneered.
Ero-Ra and the others twitched but did not stop licking his shoes.
"Since we have an audience, shall we move on to the next stage?"
"Eh...? The next... stage...?"
Ero-Ra looked up in surprise at Rigel’s words.
He was planning to do even more?
"What I want is a sincere apology. Kneeling and licking my shoes isn’t the only way. Right now, you three are still wearing too much. You understand, don’t you?"
"""...!!"""
Ero-Ra and the others turned pale at his words.
His demand was clear—he was telling them to strip.
"T-that’s... I can’t..."
"Oh...? So you’re saying you have no intention of apologizing?"
"N-no! That’s not it! But..."
Ero-Ra hesitated.
A completely naked dogeza.
Doing it for Rigel alone was one thing.
But having it witnessed by the followers and onlookers was another matter entirely.
"Enough excuses. It’s about whether you have sincerity or not. Are you refusing to show me sincerity?"
"Uuu... I-I understand... I’ll take them off..."
Ero-Ra murmured in resignation.
She turned her face away from the followers and onlookers and slowly began to remove her clothes.
