The long day wasn't quite finished for the boys. They still had to face interrogation about the earlier events, and their prison block was no more suitable place to do it.
Once they were all gathered in the recreation room, which happened to be a bit more spacious than their cramped prison cell, Meiko proceeded to inquire about their experiences, addressing each person individually.
Starting with Joe, who had previously run towards her like a ravenous zombie.
"Why are you so quiet? Maybe the heat has made you a bit forgetful?"
The others couldn't tear their eyes away from Meiko, who exuded an intimidating aura. In her hand, she held a baton adorned with sharp nails, making it easy to imagine the harm it could inflict.
"What?" Meiko grew increasingly frustrated as Joe mumbled incomprehensibly. She stepped closer, dragging the baton along the table, and demanded, "Speak up and make yourself clear! Or else I'll shove this baton in your mouth!"
"I remember it... purple... *cough... there's no doubt, even though I caught a glimpse of Meiko-senpai's purple panties at first glance-"
Just as Joe was about to continue his story, Meiko swiftly struck him on the head with her baton, causing him to topple from his chair. After that, she casually walked over to the table and took a seat on Joe's chest. With a determined look, she inserted her baton into his mouth.
"Ugh...argh...please, stop...I'm going to die!... help!... Meiko-senpai, I'm sorry!... oghkhhh..."
Luckily, the end of her baton remained smooth and free of any sharp edges, so despite Joe's mouth bleeding, it was primarily a result of his respiration condition. Additionally, Meiko's position on his chest made it challenging for him to breathe.
After wrapping up with Joe, Meiko stepped back and faced the table. Her eyes immediately focused on Shingo as she demanded, "You were there with him, give me the details!"
"W-Well, umm, let's talk about that... actually... Meiko-senpai, I'm not sure..." stammered Shingo, his nerves getting the best of him. He couldn't help but feel a jolt of fear as the baton brushed against his cheek.
It was unfortunate that despite Shingo's honesty, he experienced the same pain as Joe. He felt a sense of helplessness as he searched for Kiyoshi, unsure of his whereabouts. Similarly, he was in the dark about the fate of Gakuto and Andre, who had been whisked away by the two girls. The lack of information left him feeling completely clueless.
Eventually, all he could do was huddle in agony as his body endured a relentless barrage of baton strikes. He could sense the occasional impact of the nails against his bones.
"I swear if none of you want to talk, I will stick this thing into your ass!"
Meiko positioned herself in front of Gakuto, swiftly pressing the tip of her baton against his palm that rested on the table without waiting for him to speak.
"Ugh... I'll explain... just, please, stop..." Gakuto, who was already quite nervous, let out a loud scream in a state of hysteria. He didn't even have a moment to retrieve his fallen glasses from the table.
It was pretty unfortunate for him, as Meiko's cleavage was right in front of him, but his vision became slightly blurry. Gakuto's pain instantly banished any perverted thoughts from his mind.
"Then talk! Tell me from the beginning to the end without hiding anything!" said Meiko coldly, refraining from raising her baton and only slightly reducing the pressure she exerted.
"K-Kiyoshi-dono, he became the first person to leave the test..." After Gakuto's remark, Meiko quickly glanced over at Kiyoshi, seated at the table's end.
"And then? what about you and this fat pig? I don't see you anywhere when I get there."
Gakuto winced in pain as he prepared to answer. Despite the discomfort, he gathered his thoughts and spoke:
"I was concerned about Kiyoshi-dono's delayed return, so I took it upon myself to search for him. I even brought Andre along with me..."
Gakuto felt a wave of relief wash over him as the pressure on his palm subsided. However, Meiko's dissatisfaction remained evident as she positioned herself in front of Andre and delivered a series of firm slaps to his wide cheeks with a baton.
"So you brought this fat pig with you to look for Kiyoshi. Do you think that will make your situation better?" As Meiko continued speaking, she didn't hold back in causing Andre pain. It was clear that she had found the perfect outlet to release her pent-up frustration.
"Do you understand the consequences if you don't pass this test? You guys might never be able to go back to being regular students at Hachimitsu Academy," she added, a smile finally gracing her face.
She enjoyed seeing their gloomy expressions, which gave her a sense of satisfaction. She then came up with an idea. "Since you two have broken the rules, you'll receive a special punishment."
Gakuto and Andre looked up, clearly confused. Their hearts raced with anticipation, bracing themselves for the unknown that lay ahead.
"W-What punishment do we get?" Andre asked timidly as if he was anticipating a present from his master. Despite the intense pain coursing through his body, he unfazed, completely consumed by his overpowering desire.
Meiko intentionally kept them waiting, and unbeknownst to her, when she adjusted her snug pajamas to allow her cleavage some space, it sparked their imagination.
Finally, she casually set her baton down on the table and calmly stated, "You guys will take turns hitting each other a hundred times."
Joe and Shingo couldn't help but shudder. They wanted to empathize, but Meiko's following words quickly dispelled that sentiment.
"If you do that, I'll give you another opportunity to return to being regular students."
Gakuto's hand trembled as he reached for the baton on the table. He glanced at Andre, sensing his friend's clear displeasure with the punishment. A profound sense of disappointment hung in the air.
It was natural for Andre to be disappointed. The punishment he received fell far short of what he had anticipated. Furthermore, following his encounter with Risa Bettou, he appeared to yearn for the retribution administered by Meiko. Perhaps, if he wished to provide a more detailed description, it could be likened to the same dish, albeit with a distinct flavor.
"Come on, Andre-dono, we need to get this done."
"Naturally, you have the option to decline, and the most severe consequence would be reporting this to the president, resulting in potential additional penalties. However, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience to spend three years as fucking prisoners, would it?"
Meiko tried to provoke them, which led to Shingo and Joe encouraging their friends to accept the punishment. Their fear was incredibly apparent, which was exactly what she desired.
She experienced a great sense of satisfaction as she observed them once again submitting to her authority. The power she held in determining their fate within the school was undeniably addictive. She desired to keep them writhing helplessly on the ground for eternity, unable to take any significant action.
