Chapter Eleven
Conjugate the verb “to go”
It’s now 6pm, and thus we have had ten hours pass since the start of the punishment tag game. Unpredictability of the taggers’ attacks have wiped the smiles off of the faces of each of the four ladies who are being administered their punishment through this game.
Each of the four ladies had slowly recovered and made their way at this point back to the table, albeit they were all completely mentally, physically, and even emotionally exhausted after the past ten hours.
Suddenly, the noise of an explosion of air, which means that a tagger is about to begin another round of the chase was heard, and although exhausted, the four ladies all managed to spring up and start running towards the stage. However, when they turned to look, there was no one there. It was as if the team back in the staging area had decided to toy with the ladies and mess with their minds by activating the platform when no one was there, in order to simply keep the ladies on edge.
“False alarm” Pink Fregia assumed.
“What the hell” Queentintin asked in frustration and sheer annoyance at the idea that she had jumped up and started running for effectively no reason whatsoever.
“It’s like they’re messing with us” faelove64 added.
Making their way back to the table, they each sat down to try their hardest to relax and recover once again.

In reality, there was a valid reason as to why the platform had not gone up with a tagger on board.
As the tagger had gotten on the platform in order to go up, they had been flagged down by Hazumu-san who then asked the tagger to hold off going out onto the gymnasium floor as she wanted the tagger to try something a little different.
So after the tagger stepped off of the platform, Hazumu then hit the switch to have the platform go up on its own, and potentially mess with the 4 women out on the floor.

As the ladies relaxed at the table once again after that false alarm, none of them happened to notice as the curtain up on the stage was gently brushed aside in the center before a tagger stepped out and quietly stepped down onto the gymnasium floor, before creeping silently towards them. Indeed, it became amusing that Christmas Spirit Fairy glanced towards the stage and seemingly saw the tagger walking towards them, but it didn’t register in her mind at first. She watched the tagger get closer, before turning her head back the other, not saying anything or even showing any sign of a reaction whatsoever.
It was only when Christmas Spirit Fairy turned her head back towards the stage for the second time and saw that the tagger was now only a few feet from the table, that she let out a scream and jumped up in order to try and run away.
The screen behind the platform suddenly came to life once more with the message “Wooden Spoon”.
The tagger in question was holding a wooden spoon and didn’t really need to try to catch the ladies in order to dish out their punishment, as they were all right there around the table. The tagger, who in actuality was preposterousplum, then set about whacking each of them upside the head with the spoon repeatedly over the course of a couple of minutes around the table area, before she then rushed over to the doors beneath the platform and returned to the staging area.
“I’m guessing that that was a part of the plan with the false alarm earlier then” Christmas Spirit Fairy said whilst rubbing the top of her head.
“That’s not fair” faelove64 said in protest.
“We can’t be sure anymore of where they will show up from, obviously” Pink Fregia observed.
Indeed, a moment later, the door by the stage which led to the toilets was seen by the cameras to be very carefully and quietly opened, before another tagger tiptoed out onto the floor and carefully made their way over towards the table where each of the four ladies were currently seated.
Once again, none of the ladies noticed, and wouldn’t noticed because none of them were looking in that general direction into they suddenly heard a loud “SMACK”, followed by Pink Fregia crying out in pain from the pain on her cheek.
The screen again came to life with the phrase “Open-palm Strike”.
Turning to look, the other three all noticed the tagger, who was now lining their hand up and slapped Queentintin, followed by Christmas Spirit Fairy before faelove64 managed to run off and save herself. She wondered if the tagger would follow her as she ran off, but they didn’t, opting instead to simply return to the staging area. So after the tagger left, faelove64 returned to check up on the other three ladies.
“Who the heck came up with the idea of slapping us as a punishment” Pink Fregia asked.
“I think we need to each watch a different direction,” Christmas Spirit Fairy suggested. “That way, we stand a better chance of avoiding taggers who don’t use the platform and ramp over there.”
“Good idea” Queentintin replied. “I’ll watch the back wall where the stage is.” She then proceeded to shift her chair so that she could keep an eye on the stage.
“I’ll keep an eye on the side where we came in” Pink Fregia then added.
“Then I can take the opposite side from Queentintin, and that leaves the last side for you faelove64” Christmas Spirit Fairy then stretched her arms above her head.
A few seconds after determining which lady would watch which of the four sides of the gymnasium in the hopes of avoiding any more surprise attacks by the taggers, the familiar noise of two pans banging and being crashed together was played over the speakers, signifying that Waffle King Richard was about to make an entrance, and once again, each of the four ladies reacted as if it was a tagger, jumping up out of their chairs before stopping once they saw that it was just Waffle King Richard coming in through the main doors into the gym.
“Welcome to your Punishment Game” he said before walking over to the table where they were taking their seats once again.
“Listen up you four pests. Lycanthropos seems to be worried about your physical well-being. So out of the graciousness of his heart, he has arranged for you to receive a massage” he explained. “To be honest, I don’t think that any of you four ladies deserve such kind treatment, but it’s not for me to decide.”
He then turned his attention to Queentintin.
“Queentintin…”
“Yes?” she replied.
“Don’t you have a stiff shoulder?” Richard asked.
“No.” she said truthfully.
Waffle King Richard didn’t like her answer, and so he asked again.
“Don’t you have a stiff shoulder?”
“I just said that I didn’t” she explained.
“Never mind then” Richard replied, before continuing. “You must admit though that in all that is of this world, Lycanthropos truly is a saintly being.”
Richard then turned towards the main doors where he had just entered form a moment before.
“Please come in, Mistress Masseuse” he called out.
A masseur lady then entered carrying a towel and walked over towards the table where they were all gathered.
“Wait! You mean we are all really getting a massage” Pink Fregia asked in shock and disbelief.
“Yes, you’re all getting a massage, starting with Queentintin” Waffle King Richard explained.
“Please lay down on your stomach” the masseur mentioned to Queentintin, who did as she was asked before the masseur began giving Queentintin a deep massage of her back through her clothes.
About five minutes into the deep massage, faelove64 asked Queentintin how the massage was feeling, to which Queentintin couldn’t respond as it was way too relaxing and was about to cause her to drift off to sleep.
“Is her back really stiff” Christmas Spirit Fairy asked the masseur.
“Yeah, she’s tight alright” the masseur replied as she worked on trying to relax Queentintin’s back muscles.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion of air was heard, and this time there was a tagger who came up with the platform. Whilst faelove64, Christmas Spirit Fairy, and Pink Fregia all shot up and began to run, the masseur was unsure of what was going on and leaned over on to of Queentintin, effectively stopping Queentintin from getting up herself in order to run away from the tagger.
The screen behind the platform read “Back Press”, to which the tagger rushed over to where Queentintin and the masseur were by the table. With a gentle tap of the hand on the masseur’s shoulder, the tagger and masseur swapped places, before the tagger began kneading their hands on Queentintin’s back, making her feel uneasy about what was to come next.
The tagger continued the massage for a few more seconds before proceeding to stand and do jumping jacks on her back, all with Queentintin screaming in pain.
After administering the punishment, both the tagger and masseur proceeded back to the staging area via the doors beneath the platform.
As the four ladies regrouped at the table, Queentintin managed to say through gritted teeth “You ladies were thankfully keeping a proper guard.”
At that moment, the sound of an explosion of air was heard yet again, and this time the tagger who appeared on the platform as none other than their good “friend” Awesome Adult Guild Mule, who was once again carrying a whipped cream pie. Seemingly she wanted to try her very hardest to actually get at least one of them hit with a pie before the game was complete. As if to support that notion, the screen behind the platform once again said “Pie”.
As she ran down the ramp and towards the table, Awesome Adult Guild Mule this time didn’t trip and also managed to keep a steady hold on the whipped cream pie throughout. She rushed over towards Christmas Spirit Fairy and went to throw the pie, only to have Christmas Spirit Fairy reach over and push the pie back into Awesome Adult Guild Mule’s own face, before Awesome Adult Guild Mule then stumbled and fell backwards.
Humiliated once again, Awesome Adult Guild Mule got back up and rushed over to the doors beneath the platform, tearing up as she did so.
“What is she trying to achieve” Queentintin asked in disbelief as they returned to the table once more.
