In Academy City, the Paradise Project begins.

Higashino looked down at her exposed collarbone, delicate shoulder hollows, and the edge of her cleavage!

Higashino punished them all one by one, and in the end, Misaki Shokuhou was unable to get up again and collapsed to the ground.

When it was Frenda's turn, the blonde girl tried to hide her nervousness with her liveliness. She stuck out her tongue at Higashino and said in a coquettish tone, "Higashino, I know I was wrong. Can we skip the punishment?"

Higashino's lips curled into a wicked smile. How could he possibly let Frenda go just because she begged for mercy? He had cheated for this very reason.

He precisely pinched Frenda's breasts, which were encased in her swim trunks, with both hands, his fingers sinking deep into the soft, elastic flesh, kneading and pinching them forcefully!

"Ah ah!"

Frenda screamed instantly, her body jerked as if she had been electrocuted, and her cheeks turned bright red!

The shame she felt from this direct and brutal physical punishment far exceeded her expectations!

"Frenda."

Higashino's fingers pinched her sensitive areas cruelly, feeling the amazing sensation and her body trembling.

"It's too noisy, it needs to be punished properly."

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips hard as she gasped in surprise.

Frenda cried out in pain, her eyes brimming with tears, but under the suppression of his strength, she could only endure Higashino's kneading and the stinging on her lips, her heart filled with unprecedented shame and a strange throbbing.

Then Higashino's gaze fell on Takitsubo.

He waded directly to the steps where she was, and Takitsubo raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation.

"Higashino-kun, shall we continue?"

Upon hearing Takitsubo's words, Higashino paused, then shook his head. The two had already fought for some time, and Higashino had no intention of feeding her again today.

Eating too much is not good for your health, and it also makes it harder to feed you the next time.

Without any unnecessary movements, Dongye bent down, put one hand under her knees and the other hand on her back, and steadily lifted her wet and light body out of the water, letting her sit face-to-face on his strong waist and abdomen!

Takitsubo let out a soft gasp, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist.

The position was incredibly intimate, their lower abdomens pressed tightly together, their soaked swimsuits feeling almost weightless. Higashino held her slender waist tightly with one hand, while his other hand rested on the curve behind her.

"Afterwards... your punishment has already been paid in advance."

Takitsubo buried her face in the crook of his neck, letting out a shy whimper, her body going completely limp in his arms.

The best punishment is to deny a girl what she wants.

After putting down Takitsubo, Higashino went to Kinuhata Saiai's place. Facing Kinuhata Saiai's unwilling expression, Higashino opened his arms and hugged her petite body tightly!

Kinuhata's body stiffened instantly. She tried to struggle, but it was futile against that absolute strength. Higashino's arms were like iron hoops, pressing her body tightly against his chest, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

His chin rested on the top of her wet head, while one hand roamed restlessly over her smooth back and slender waist, finally stopping at her small but perfectly curved area.

The force of the punishment deformed it.

"Chao... let me go!"

The banner protested sullenly, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of panic.

"Protests are futile."

Higashino's deep voice sounded above her head. He lowered his head and kissed her head heavily, while his hands kneading her buttocks increased the pressure.

"Accept your punishment obediently."

Under his strong embrace and kneading, the silk banner stiffened but could not resist, and gradually gave up.

After punishing Kinuhata, Higashino moved on to the next loser.

Beneath the leopard-print swimsuit, Jie Biao's face held a stubborn and untamed expression.

Higashino Yu walked up to her, suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed Kihara's slender but strong waist, and lifted her up, making her feet leave the ground! Kihara exclaimed in surprise and instinctively grabbed his shoulders.

Higashino pulled her closer, their faces almost touching. He continued to hold her waist with one hand, while punishing her with the other.

Kihara Ayaki felt that Higashino was really targeting her. Everyone else was punished in the back of the body, but for her, it was in the front.

"Humph!"

Jiebiao buried her face in embarrassment, her body trembling slightly under the control of his large hands.

Higashino leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Let's have an even more interesting punishment for our next date."

After saying that, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her hard on the curve of her body, leaving clear teeth marks.

The punishment for Himegami Akisa will be simpler, since she is her own possession and there is no rush to punish her now.

Higashino Yu stopped in front of her. Without much preamble, he simply reached out his water-drenched hand and cupped her cool yet delicate face. He lowered his head and placed a long, tender kiss on her slightly cool lips.

After the kiss ended, Higashino whispered a few words in her ear and left, leaving Himegami Akisa staring blankly at him with an unprecedentedly expressionless face.

When it was Mugino's turn, her eyes practically blazed with fire.

She didn't want to experience what those girls had gone through, but if you lose, you have to accept the punishment. Even if Mugino didn't want to, she wouldn't break the rule. She just glared at Higashino with a "you just wait and see" look, thinking that she would definitely beat Higashino up when she got the chance.

Higashino walked up to her, ignoring her murderous glare, and suddenly reached out his arm, grabbing her strong waist and lifting her up as well. But instead of a princess carry, he made her sit sideways on his strong arm like a child! This position made her impressive bust press even more prominently against Higashino's chest.

"You...put me down right now!"

Mugino was filled with shame and anger. With so many people watching, her sense of shame was off the charts.

"Mugino... the punishment hasn't even started yet, how can I put you down?"

From below the navel all the way down to the foot of the mountain, that was the target of Higashino's punishment.

So what if the atom collapses? She'll still be shy, and her skin will still turn red. Moreover, the area near the top of the mountain is actually her weak point. Higashino remembered this and decided to seize the opportunity to exploit her weakness and deliver a devastating blow.

Mugino collapsed to the ground like a duck after being attacked, completely losing any thought of revenge. Her mind was a mess, replaying what had happened after Higashino picked her up.

It was so humiliating. She felt that her dignity as the leader of the Items had been completely destroyed. The only thing to be thankful for was that the others had been defeated before her and didn't seem to care too much about what was happening to her.

After punishing Mugino, Higashino's gaze locked onto the brown-haired girl. Mikoto stubbornly raised her chin, but deep in her eyes was an undisguised panic and shame.

Higashino walked up to her, and unlike with Mugino, he reached out and suddenly cupped her cheeks in his hands! He leaned down, pressed his forehead against hers, their noses touched, and their hot breaths sprayed onto each other's faces.

"Mikoto, accept your punishment."

The next second, Dongye's hand firmly held the back of her head, giving her no chance to dodge.

Meanwhile, his other hand was also busy, doing all sorts of things through his soaked swimsuit.

There was nothing he could do; Higashino was very troubled by having a disobedient hand, but he couldn't very well cut it off.

Helpless, Higashino could only go along with it, letting it do whatever it wanted.

"Ugh...woo!"

Under Higashino's kisses and the free rein of his hands, Mikoto's mind went blank, and her body trembled as if electrocuted.

The punishment was over. Higashino Yu released Mikoto, who was almost suffocating, and let her lean weakly against the edge of the pool, panting.

He looked around the room and saw that every girl bore the mark of her own "exclusive punishment".

Swollen lips, curves burning from being kneaded, blushing cheeks, dazed eyes, rapid breathing…

"very good."

Higashino's voice was filled with pleasure; this punishment was perfect.

"Punishment completed."

He stepped onto the poolside, and just as Higashino was about to turn around and leave the pool, a wet strawberry-shaped swimming ring suddenly bumped into his calf.

"Higashino! You forgot about me!"

Index stood angrily in the water, her long silver hair clinging wetly to her body, her white nun's swimsuit becoming semi-transparent from the water. She clutched her swimming ring, her face flushed, her eyes filled with defiance.

The girls who were getting towels by the pool all stopped and looked in their direction.

Mikoto paused in her act of drying her hair, Shokuhou's hand wrapped in a towel hung in mid-air, and Mugino even forgot to straighten her crumpled swimsuit.

The air suddenly became eerily quiet.

Higashino slowly turned around and looked down at the silver-haired nun who only reached his chest.

"Ah, I did miss it."

Index had slipped away to the cheerleaders during the chaos and witnessed the whole thing in disbelief when Higashino punished the others, only to be forgotten by him.

"So, what kind of punishment does Index want?"

Index suddenly realized she might have made a mistake. She instinctively took a step back, but then she remembered that everyone else was being punished, and it would be unfair to leave her out. So she straightened her neck and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

"I...I'm not afraid of any punishment! But...but it has to be fair!"

"fair?"

Higashino chuckled softly, then suddenly bent down, put his hands under her armpits, and lifted her up like a child!

"Ah!" Index cried out in surprise, kicking her legs wildly in the air, and the strawberry swimming ring fell back into the water with a splash.

Higashino lifted her up to eye level with him; the soaking wet nun's swimsuit clung to her petite body, outlining her youthful yet alluring curves.

"Index's punishment needs to be a little special."

To everyone's astonishment, Higashino suddenly lowered his head and gently kissed Index's smooth forehead.

But the next second, his big hand slapped Index's pert little bottom without any mercy!

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed around the pool.

"Woo!"

Index's face flushed instantly, and her emerald green eyes welled up with tears. It didn't hurt, but the shame of being spanked in front of everyone made her want to disappear into the water.

Higashino gently placed her back on the ground and pinched her flushed cheeks: "This is your punishment for slacking off throughout the competition and not giving it your all. Next time something like this happens, remember to give it your all, or my punishment will be even harsher."

Index covered her bottom and hid behind Mikoto, only her embarrassed and indignant eyes showing. Mikoto instinctively protected her, but when she met Higashino's ambiguous gaze, she looked away as if she had been electrocuted.

At just the right moment, Mingya floated over and handed Index a towel printed with strawberries, along with a cup of hot chocolate.

"Please use."

Apart from the few people living in the Higashino family, no one else could see the ghost girl's figure; they only felt that it was a phenomenon caused by Higashino's ability.

Index glanced at the hot chocolate, then at Higashino, and finally snatched the towel and cup, angrily drinking it down, though the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.

Higashino Yu looked around the room, making sure that every girl had received her "personalized punishment," before nodding in satisfaction.

"All punishments have been carried out."

He announced, his voice returning to its usual gentle tone.

"Now, everyone go take a hot shower, so you don't catch a cold."

The girls left the pool in twos and threes, and the three spectators followed closely behind. With so many people in such a mess, the few who were free could go and help.

The pool surface gradually returned to calm, reflecting the azure sky. This water balloon fight, sparked by chocolate bars, ultimately ended with the referee personally taking to the field, using the most primal, ambiguous, and physically controlling method to leave an indelible "victor's mark" on every participant.

And so, the housewarming party continued amidst these unexpected "surprises" and "punishments"...

Chapter 129 Hesitation Leads to Defeat; The Girl Voluntarily Gives Herself Away!

Dusk fell imperceptibly, and the evening breeze carried away much of the enchanting atmosphere that followed the punishment.

"Is everyone hungry?"

Higashino Yu broke the delicate vortex of atmosphere at just the right moment.

"There's a barbecue grill in the villa, and the ingredients are all ready. How about a poolside barbecue?"

"barbecue?"

Index was the first to respond; she had been looking forward to this for a long time.

"I'm going to eat lots and lots of meat today!"

"That's a great suggestion, a poolside barbecue party."

Ruiko immediately expressed her support. Several hours had passed since the punishment game, and her already flat stomach had sagged a little.

"Indeed, having a barbecue after playing is great!" Chu Chun agreed.
