Xiao Ke'er, as if haunted by a shadow of fear, failed to dodge in time. Bowing her head, she darted straight into my arms.

“No! Please don’t hit Ke’er anymore!”

Her pitiful, trembling plea softened my heart—I almost stopped right there.

But this little tigress launched a sneak attack from my embrace, sinking her tiny fangs into my waist!

Ahhh!

Pain twisted my face into a grimace.

Enraged, I pinned her wrists firmly, ready to continue spanking her soft, bouncy little bottom.

Xiao Ke’er panicked. “Sister Xixi, I was wrong! Please forgive me, Sister Xixi!”

“You untrainable, foolish pet—what should you call me?” I heard myself say, shocked by my own mischievous tone.

“No… Ke’er doesn’t want to say it. Ke’er knows she was wrong, Sister Xixi! Anything but that…”

“How dare you defy your master’s order?”

I kept a stern face, raised my hand, poised to strike.

Terrified, Xiao Ke’er cried out instantly: “Master! Master Xixi! Ke’er is a little doggy! Ke’er will say it!”

“Oh? So quick to admit it? You really are a perverted little naughty dog~”

This role reversal of humiliation and submission thrilled me—I couldn’t stop.

Yet to my surprise, little Ke’er seemed to sink deeper into the role, her expression shifting toward enjoyment—

“Mmm! Master Xixi! Ke’er… Ke’er is a naughty dog! Please don’t spank little doggy Ke’er anymore… Master Xixi…”

No way—was she actually enjoying this?

Seeing her flushed, vulnerable look, my heart wavered. But remembering her earlier acting skills, I shook my head and resumed spanking her bottom with light, rhythmic smacks.

A lying brat deserves a spanking! Kids, don’t lie!

With that thought, I felt justified.

Yes—I was disciplining a brat. I was justice and morality incarnate, not some perverted lolicon!

Still, my spanks grew gentler—less punishment, more like a tender, fatherly pat.

Ke’er noticed. Though still shy of her position, she seemed to melt into the mix of shame and submission, a flushed, shy smile blooming on her face—

“Ke’er… Ke’er doesn’t hate being spanked by Master… Ke’er feels so strange… Master…”

No way—this reaction?!

Before I could react, she covered her burning cheeks, buried her face deep in the pillow, and lifted her bottom high.

“Master… Ke’er really likes it! Mmm… so embarrassing. Ke’er’s a shameless bad girl… Will Master hate Ke’er for this?”

Her words jolted me awake. I stared blankly at my own hand.

What… what had I done?! How could I do such beastly things to an eleven-year-old little loli?!

Heartache and pity surged. The twisted thrill vanished. I finally stopped.

“Mmm? Master Xixi?” Ke’er glanced back, eyes still hazy with longing. “Was little doggy Ke’er’s performance… not good enough? Woof?”

Wow!

Her heart-melting cuteness made my chest tighten. Clutching my heart, I questioned my own conscience.

What have I done?! Turning an innocent elementary student into this… Damn it!

…But it felt good.

That pitifully sweet look broke my resolve. I gave her bottom one last, feather-light pat.

“Eep!”

Let this be the final moment of pleasure.

I stilled completely, cradling her gently. Trembling with guilt, I whispered, “I’m sorry, I…”

“M… Master? Sister Xixi?”

Ke’er slowly returned to herself—cheeks flushed, breath unsteady, but clarity restored to her eyes.

“You must hate me, right? Dumping all my frustration on you… What have I done, Ke’er? I’m a beast.”

“Yes, Sister Xixi,” Ke’er replied calmly, her tone layered with meaning. “You really are a beast.”

*She must hate me now. Let her hit me. Scold me. I deserve it.*

But when I looked up, her eyes held only gentle, flowing warmth.

Her fingers brushed the fading marks on my neck. Voice trembling with quiet sorrow and care, she murmured, “But… Ke’er doesn’t hate Sister Xixi anymore.”

“What?” I laughed bitterly. “Don’t lie, Ke’er. I’m a pervert—a monster who spanked an elementary student. If you hate me, say it. I won’t argue. Hit me if you need to…”

*Pat…*

A whisper-soft slap—barely more than a mosquito’s kiss—landed on my cheek.

Ke’er smiled at my stunned face, radiant as an angel. “Ke’er hit you~ Now… doesn’t Sister Xixi feel a little better inside?”

Ah… an angel. What have I done?!
