The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 43

The Safest Option

“That’s right, it does have that sort of image…”

“Finally, you get it, huh?”

I had almost given up on her understanding, so I feel a bit moved that she finally does.

It seems that Reika finally realizes that she wants to be my pet, not engage in BDSM with me.

Along with that realization, my perception of Reika has shifted from ‘she will bulldoze her way through the conversation no matter what I say’ to ‘if I talk patiently, she might understand’.

Yes, before being pets and owners, we are lovers and humans capable of communicating through language——

“——But, you know, even if you don’t actually hit the body, the sound made by the whip can also serve as discipline to stop dangerous behaviors. So using a whip for discipline is not that unusual. Besides, this whip is made to strike a human body——it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a tool made for disciplining humans! Therefore, using it in the way it’s intended would be the safest!”

My thoughts are brutally swept away by Reika’s impassioned argument.

And just before I could interject with ‘That’s an exaggeration!’, I managed to stop myself.

Someone, please praise me for that.

If I had negated what Reika was saying, she would no doubt have launched into an hour-long forceful argument—essentially a rant—about how it’s ‘not an exaggeration’.

The best strategy here isn’t to point out the contradictions in her argument but to convey that ‘I’m not really on board with this’.

After all, Reika calls herself a ‘competent pet’, so if she realizes thather Master—I—am troubled, she should back down.

“Uh, that might be true, but… I really can’t bring myself to whip anyone, let alone Reika. It feels like I’d be doing something I really shouldn’t be doing.”

“I see. If you’re going to say it like that, then I can’t help but give up. Understood.”

“Ah, you get it now!”

“I guess it was too early for the whip. I apologize for acting selfishly without considering what Master might think. I’m sorry.”

“Ah, alright. As long as you understand, that’s what matters.”

There are still some lingering concerns, but for now, let’s consider it good that I’ve avoided the act of whipping Reika.

“And I’ve realized, thanks to your point, that what I really want is to be spanked by your palm, Master.”
