Punishment Loving Chapter
Why?
Why did I have to lose?
I haven't won in so long.
I'm stuck in punishment game hell.
God! Buddha! I beg of you, grant me victory!
K! How can you be so cold?!
Praying to any deity that will listen.
Shouldn't you ask your loyal companions for help first?
Tommy, Cloud and Iri!
Soul Brothers, assemble!
Dearest soul brother...
...your problems are our problems.
Let us grant you the power to vanquish the evils of club activities.
Thank you!
K. Why do you want to win?
Have you grown tired of losing?
Damn right!
I'm getting sick of all these stupid punishment games,
so I want to at least avoid whatever could be left.
The reason you can't win is because you're so hung up on all those defeats.
You're so afraid of getting hit with these punishment games...
...that the beast within you that hungers for victory has grown tame and meek.
When you re-awaken that beast, K, your true potential shall be unleashed.
Exactly.
And the path to unleashing it lies in imagining the punishment games.
Imagining the punishment games? Cloud, what do you mean?
Just think about it. Punishment games!
Take, for example, Rena-chan.
If you beat her, you could have her wear a maid costume.
Rena wearing a... maid costume?
Though, it wouldn't be much of a punishment game if you simply dress her up.
W-What are you suggesting, Cloud?
Just one thing.
Perhaps you could have her help you enjoy a nice, refreshing yoghurt?
Help me... enjoy?
t
r
u
h
g
o
Y
Of course, she wouldn't be using her hands.
And the yoghurt might drip,
making a terrible mess of her breasts and her mouth.
Wow! That'd be quite the sight.
Don't mind if I do!
That was just a playful example of how to have a girl show off her charms.
Though it appears to have been a bit too much of a shock for a minor like Maebara-san.
Cloud! I didn't know you were such an expert on things like this!
You can leave all the dirty ideas to old Cloud!
All right! You're the best, Cloud!
But there's still so much more, K!
After that we'll use the Angel Mort costume!
Right! That one's got to be Rika-chan!
I can't wait to take advantage of that cute face of hers!
I have a perfect idea.
In short, we'll have her take on all of our chores.
Huh?
For example... wiping glass.
Hm, Tommy. It's an intriguing idea, but I can't say it really sets my heart on fire.
I wonder, Cloud.
Try telling me that after hearing this!
It's a bit of a tight fit...
Exactly! And that tightness is the heart and soul of my idea!
Now onto the main event...
We'll have Rika-chan wipe the windows.
W-Windows?
But...
...she'll be using her rear!
This is kind of embarrassing...
Wipe... wipe... wipe... wipe...
This is so embarrassing...
Wipe... wipe... wipe... wipe...
Wonderful! That's just wonderful, Rika-chan!
It would be a thrill to watch from either side of the glass!
I'd expect no less from a dedicated bird photographer.
It's an approach I'd never have thought of.
What do you think of the punishment game I came up with, then?
Tommy! You're the best!
Next up is Mion-san...
She's the one responsible for dressing you up in all those embarrassing outfits, right?
Shall we think up a super-embarrassing punishment game, tailored to her exact specifications?
Mion's exact specifications?
When you think Mion-san, you think twins.
So she's going to do her punishment game together with her twin sister, Shion-san!
Wow! Just what I'd expect from Iri the mad scientist!
A punishment game together with... Shion?
Exactly.
Consider, if you will, an Angel Mort double special event. A sweet spin on body sushi!
This is embarrassing, Shion...
It's embarrassing for me, too.
Be brave.
No!
Hooray!
This is so perverted!
Hooray!
The bare peaks of two fleshy mountains poking through whipped cream and chocolate...
...shining ever brighter as Shion-chan uncovers them.
Simply irresistible!
It brings tears to my eyes!
Iri! You're amazing! You're too awesome!
This is just the opening event, K!
After Mion-chan and Shion-chan, we have... Satoko-chan!
With Satoko-chan, we won't go with a costume.
We'll simply shift her to the most... fitting location for her punishment game.
The most fitting location?
That is...
...the bath!
T-The bath...
Oh! Through clouds of steam...
A special glimpse of Satoko in a bath towel!
N-Nii-nii...
Today I'm going to make...
...your body all nice and clean.
This is special!
There's just no other word for it!
I'll cover you in bubbles, and give you a good scrub.
Amazing!
This is the best!
Though it's kind of taking punishment games too far...
No, forget it! I don't care!
I could die like this!
It's hard to wash you if you move around so much.
Please try to be patient.
Scrub scrub...
I can't take any more!
Hey, K. Are you all right, K?
It looks like K got a little overexcited.
Pull yourself together, K.
It seems you still need more training.
There's nothing else for it.
It's time we brought in a special guest to further K's training.
A-A special guest?
C-Cloud, are you suggesting that we open the forbidden ritual room?
Y-You can't be serious, Cloud!
Exactly!
She's Hinamizawa's greatest mystery. Its secret flower garden.
Hanyuu-san!
H-Hanyuu!
What? Isn't that just the shrine maiden outfit she always wears?
Take a closer look.
Y-You mean the kimono is made out of... paper?
Precisely!
P-Paper... Then that means...
K-Keiichi!
It's time for your punishment game.
You'd better start running.
If you don't, I'll take this water and squi-
No, SOAK you.
Keiichi's turned into a demon!
Come on! Come on!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
It's cold!
Better run away quick, or pretty soon your paper kimono...
...will be stuck to your skin, and I'll see right through it!
Y-You're so perverted!
You think you can hide from me there?
Pew! Pew!
It's cold!
Now the chest's going transparent!
This is blasphemy!
Oyashiro-sama will curse you for this!
Stop it! Stop it! You can't, K!
You'll never be able to win if you're in that st-
It seems you need more training yourself.
Then next up, how about a punishment game with a devilishly seductive older woman?
Devilishly seductive? You mean Takano-san, right?
T-Takano-san?
I've got it.
Her voluptuous body would look ravishing in a bunny suit.
And if she's going to be a bunny,
she's got to have a lighter in her cleavage.
Ah, but since we have club activities at school,
I'd rather see her do it with a recorder.
Then, if you would, Takano-san.
My, I suppose there's no helping it. I lost fair and square.
Though I don't suppose it'll take me many blows to finish you all off.
T-That's...
One blow...
Two blows...
Three blows...
I can't take any more!
Devil woman!
Snap out if it!
Come back to us!
It's not your time yet, K!
W-What happened to me?!
That was close.
A little more, and you would have been completely swallowed by the dark side.
It looks like you need even more training, K.
"Even more"? Who else is left?
Looks like you've forgotten.
There's still Chie-sensei.
She preaches discipline and order to her students.
There's no way she'd disrespect the rules of a punishment game.
A-A punishment game for Chie-sensei?
I'd never thought of that.
If Takano-san is charming in a devilish way,
then Chie-sensei is like an angel.
Chie-sensei's best point is her rear, right?
Precisely. It looks so perky and firm.
Then how about this, K?
Chie-sensei at the front of the class, teaching you about her rear!
T-Teaching me about her rear?!
Ah, no, not teaching you about her rear.
Teaching you art with her rear.
You know, modelling for you and stuff.
I see.
We'd have her do her punishment game in front of her students, while teaching!
I've got it!
We'll have her hold a really embarrassing pose for thirty minutes,
and use her as a still life model!
A-A still life model?!
Go on then, Chie-sensei.
N-No! A punishment game like this is going too far!
Maebara-kun, is there no other punishment game?
Chie-sensei!
Trying to bend the rules? That's not setting a very good example to your students, is it?
All you need to do is move your rear a little closer, and let us draw you.
We're only asking for you to be a still life model for us.
B-But...
Making me do something this embarrassing...
It's too cruel, Maebara-kun!
Let's hurry up and get started, Chie-sensei!
P-Principal!
Principal! Help me! Maebara-kun is...
You both agreed to this, so my hands are tied.
There's nothing else for it, Chie-sensei.
As an educator, you're going to have to respect the rules, and complete your punishment game.
Principal! I knew you'd understand!
What sort of punishment game is it, Ryuuguu-kun?
Um... What was it again?
He said she had to move her rear closer, and...
You've got it wrong, Rena-san.
He said something about still life...
In other words, Keiichi is studying Chie's rear.
Study?! Still life?!
I won't have you making a mockery of this sacred place of education!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Kira
What's wrong, Kei-chan?!
Did you have a scary dream? Did you?
Was it a dream?
It got pretty freaky at the end there.
Though up until then it was great.
That creepy laugh...
I'll bet he was dreaming about winning against us, and giving us all really embarrassing punishment games.
Crap! That was right on the mark.
You guys are as sharp as ever.
But it was so good...
I wish I could make it a reality.
It's so sad that you can only be happy in your dreams.
It's pretty annoying knowing that you made me do something embarrassing, even in a dream.
Then how about this?
We'll pay him back for it with some fantasy situations of our own.
Bring it on!
No matter what you guys imagine, it's not going to hurt me one bit!
That's what you think, Kei-chan!
We're going to be planning what to do to you next time you lose.
If it were up to me, I'd make him play baseball in a maid costume.
For the Hinamizawa Fighters?
You always have the best ideas, Rika-chan!
Hey! T-Tomitake-san!
Keiichi-kun, you're awesome! That embarrassed look is just wonderful!
Put your hips into it a bit more!
Maid culture is as old as baseball itself.
So it's possible that your maid costume is closer to baseball's roots than an actual uniform!
Indeed, you could say it's entirely appropriate for baseball!
You guys! That's just way too cruel!
There's nothing you can do, Keiichi.
We lost, after all.
Why?
Why are you here all of a sudden, Satoshi?
We lost today, but we'll definitely win next time.
Lost? What do you mean? This is just a...
Right. I'll go first.
I've just got to feed you with this spoon, right?
H-Hey, wait!
What're you doing?!
What's wrong, Keiichi?
If you don't eat it soon, it'll drip.
Why do two guys have to do this together?!
My heart's been racing this whole time, too...
So...
No, it's just embarrassing, or... no, really creepy.
I'll happily eat yoghurt if it's yours, Keiichi.
S-Stop it! No!
This is... the coach's clinic...
Was I dreaming?
He's sleeping now.
But when he wakes up, he'll go back to the world of delusions.
And the more he succumbs to his desires, the more he'll slip into that world.
Yes. Eventually, he'll reach the point where he'll no longer be able to tell the difference between illusion and reality.
He'll lose his life in a world of pleasure and shame?
Precisely. That is True Hinamizawa Syndrome.
It's rather ironic that the first person affected should be Maebara Keiichi-kun.
I'm... the first person to contract True Hinamizawa Syndrome?
I'll notify Tokyo. Please watch over him until we receive further instructions.
Leave it to me.
True Hinamizawa Syndrome?
What a fortunate turn of events.
If I can use this virus correctly,
every man in the world will bow before me,
and I shall rule as their irresistible queen!
You are now mine.
We won't let you have your way, perverted nurse!
Black hearted, greedy adult.
We, the protectors of Hinamizawa's love and peace...
...will never forgive you!
Nipah!
Lay one hand on me, and Maebara Keiichi loses his life!
True Hinamizawa Syndrome has already turned Kei-chan into a perverted monster...
I'm sorry, Kei-chan,
but in order to make sure that the virus doesn't spread any further,
I'm going to have to kill you along with her!
Wait!
Ooishi-san, it's a call from outside.
Excuse me a moment.
Hello, this is Ooishi. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hello?
I-Is that Ooishi-san?! Hello?!
Is that you, Maebara-san?
What's wrong? What are you so worked up about?
T-To begin with, I thought it was just a normal dream...
No, just us talking about our fantasies,
but now things are really weird!
Calm down, Maebara-san!
I'll send a patrol car your way.
It'll be there in three minutes.
Just try and hold out until then.
Three minutes is too long.
I'm already...
...surrounded.
Don't worry. We took care of Takano-san.
S-Stop it!
A-At least be gentle!
Hello!
Can you hear me, Maebara-san?
Maebara-san!
I don't know how this happened.
By the time you've learned of this, I'll probably already be lost in the labyrinth of pleasure.
Please, somehow, expose the truth.
That is all I ask of you.
Maebara Keiichi.
It was all a dream?
What a horrible dream...
True Hinamizawa Syndrome, huh?
There's no way something like that could be real.
This is all because of the club's damn punishment games!
God! Buddha! Why can't I win?!
K! How can you be so cold?!
Praying to any deity that will listen.
Shouldn't you ask your loyal companions for help first?
Soul Brothers, assemble!
Everything will be fine now that we're here!
We're going to give those girls something to be embarrassed about!
We'll make them do this... and that... and that, too...
We'll grant your wish, and give you the power to win against the club members!
Thank you!
This seems strangely familiar...
What're you worrying about, K?
Let us cast our fears aside, and seize the power to win!
Yes. We'll draw out the powers of delusion that lurk within you.
D-Delusion...?
Delusion.
Y-You mean... True Hinamizawa Syndrome?
