Reincarnated as a Mob in an Otome Game, but the Characters Were Worse Than I Expected, So I Crushed Them All and Destroyed the Story - Chapter 47: Mob Clings to Life

Chapter 47: Mob Clings to Life

I immediately grabbed the handcuffs from the table and began approaching Lisa.

Tears welled in her eyes as she shook her head slightly, backing away inch by inch.

Eventually, her back hit the wall, and there was nowhere left for her to run.

“E-Edward… w-we’re friends, right? R-Remember? We’ve always helped each other out… haven’t we…?”

“Unfortunately, I have no memory of that. And I value my life more than your dignity. So please, be a sacrifice… for my sake.”

“N-No…!”

If I went against her too directly, this pet cat of mine might actually kill me.

Which meant… I had no choice but to tie someone up before I got taken out first.

That’s just how the world worked—survival of the fittest and all that!

So yes, Lisa—please be the sacrifice I need!

I reached out to clasp the handcuffs onto her wrists.

But Lisa moved just in time, pulling her hands away and dodging the restraint.

(She dodged…!? Since when could Lisa move like that!? No, this must be that whole “panic strength” thing…!)

This wasn’t exactly a life-or-death situation.

But for a girl… no, for a person, her dignity was on the line.

That kind of pressure could push even the most average person to become superhuman.

But still—

(My life is literally on the line here…! I can’t afford to lose!)

After about ten seconds of fierce struggle, I finally managed to cuff Lisa’s left wrist.

I didn’t miss the moment of hesitation that flickered across her face after the first cuff clicked.

Without wasting a second, I grabbed her right wrist and locked it in faster than I’d ever moved in my life.

Not that I’d ever handcuffed someone before, of course.

“Ah…!? N-No…”

“Fufufu… You’re not getting away now…”

Her knees gave out and she dropped to the floor with a soft thud.

Since Charlotte had already tucked the handcuff key safely into her own pocket, even I couldn’t undo them now.

“Haah… It’s done. Do what you want with her now.”

“Absolutely not. We haven’t even used the rope yet. And I told you—I’m taking the punishment too, remember?”

“…Right. My bad.”

Without delay, I grabbed the second pair of handcuffs I’d bought and walked over to Charlotte.

Unlike Lisa, Charlotte was practically glowing with excitement as she cheerfully held out both wrists.

This was the true form of a genuine pervert.

Her whole presence was on a different level than normal people.

After I finished cuffing Charlotte, I picked up the rope and made my way back to where Lisa sat slumped on the floor.

The moment her eyes landed on the rope in my hands, her face went pale.

“N-No… Not that… Please…”

“Sorry. I’ve already crossed the point of no return…!”

I started tying Lisa up with the rope.

She tried to resist, but with her hands already locked in handcuffs, there wasn’t much she could do.

That said… I had no idea how to actually tie someone up.

I mean, who just casually knows how to do that?

If anything, not knowing is normal.

Even so, I fumbled through it and eventually managed to bind Lisa.

I made sure to tie it loosely—just enough so Charlotte wouldn’t notice—so it wouldn’t actually hurt her.

“Uu… You’re the worst…”

“…!”

But I had made one major miscalculation.

Up until now, I hadn’t really paid much attention to those two… generously developed assets.

Now that she was tied up, the ropes had ended up digging into that area—almost like they were intentionally trying to highlight it.

(Is… is this way too lewd or what…?)

With the skimpy outfit she was already wearing, this scene had completely crossed the line.

From any outside perspective, Lisa now looked like a full-blown pervert too.

“Fufu… You look adorable, Lisa.”

“…Are you going to do this too, Lady Maxwell?”

“What kind of question is that? Obviously, whatever you did to Lisa, you’ll do to me as well.”

“…Of course.”

I was an idiot for even asking.

Left speechless, I simply picked up the rope again.

Unlike with Lisa, there was no resistance this time—plus, it was the second round—so I managed to tie Charlotte up much more smoothly.

However… compared to Lisa’s, Charlotte’s twin melons were even more massive, and visually, the whole scene had crossed every possible line.

Nothing was technically exposed, but honestly? This felt like something that needed a content warning.

(I’d really like to call it here and just say, “Okay, let’s untie you both now!”…)

But Charlotte shot me a look that screamed, “You’re not seriously stopping here, are you?”

Yeah… she wasn’t letting me off the hook just yet.

In fact, I felt like I’d already crossed several irreversible moral boundaries—just within this past hour alone.

Apparently, that wasn’t enough for forgiveness.

(I mean, touching them directly is out of the question… Maybe I’ll try that instead…)

I reached into the bag and pulled out a strip of cloth—slightly wider than a headband.

I had bought it just in case, thinking that tying them up alone might not satisfy Charlotte.

I didn’t expect to actually need it, though…

Holding the cloth in my hands, I crouched in front of Lisa.

Then, I gently wrapped it around her head, covering her eyes.

“Uuuh… I can’t see anything… I’m scared…”

I was a bit surprised to hear Lisa speak like that—she usually stuck to formal language.

But this was for Charlotte’s sake… and in a roundabout way, for her sake too.

I’d be putting a blindfold on Charlotte as well, and I’d do my best to forget all of this later… so please, just hang in there for a little bit…!

Just like with Lisa, I wrapped the cloth around Charlotte’s eyes.

She smiled with genuine delight the moment she was blindfolded.

Yeah… she had fully and completely fallen off the deep end.

“Lisa… can you hear me?”

“L-Lady Charlotte…”

“Fufu… now the real fun begins. Let’s enjoy this together.”

“T-There’s no way I can enjoy this…! Being tied up in the same room with a guy… it’s only natural to assume he’s gonna turn into a beast…”

If I did turn into a beast, I’d be dead on the spot.

There was no way I could get excited in this kind of situation.

Maybe if I were just a spectator, I’d feel something.

But right now, all I could think about was staying alive and figuring out how to satisfy Charlotte before she decided to kill me.

There was zero room for enjoyment.

“Fufu… Lisa, you’re free to let him do whatever he wants. As your master, I give you full permission.”

“L-Lady Charlotte…!?”

This so-called master just casually handed her own maid over like it was nothing.

What would’ve happened if I were a clueless, reckless idiot!?

Isn’t Lisa someone precious to you…?

“Lady Maxwell. It’s about ti—!?”

Just as I was about to undo Lisa’s restraints, a violent tremor suddenly rocked the room—followed by an earth-shaking roar.

There was no way this was just an earthquake.

And the sound clearly came from outside.

(What the hell’s going on…!? I need to check it out right away…!)

I rushed out onto the balcony connected to the room to get a better view.

Thick black smoke was rising in the distance—and near it, I could feel an overwhelming surge of magical energy.

(What the hell is happening out there!?)

For a second, I thought about just staying put and waiting it out.

But I clenched my teeth and made up my mind.

I turned and headed straight toward the source of the smoke—

Leaving Charlotte and Lisa still tied up behind me.
