Yuna was currently sitting on a couch while petting the head of a massive fox that was lying on her lap and was looking at the people in front of her with an annoyed expression. The fox, on the other hand, was looking at them smugly.
"So, yet again, you destroyed part of the Uzumaki compound while fighting each other. Seriously, if you want to fight, then do so in one of the many training grounds we have."
Hinata and Anko, who were currently sitting in the seiza position on the ground, awkwardly averted their gazes when they heard Yuna's words.
In fact, this wasn't even the first time this happened. When the two get too excited, they tend to forget everything around them and just start fighting each other.
"*Sigh* Whatever. One month of no cinnamon rolls for Hinata and one month of no dango for Anko."
""Eh? N-No way!""
"Oh? Are you not satisfied? If you want, we can increase the time a little more."
Hinata and Anko both paled before quickly shaking their heads.
""We are satisfied, Yuna.""
Yuna nodded her head with a contented smile on her face.
"Very good. On a side note, why are you kneeling next to them, Karin? As far as I know, you weren't involved in the fight at all."
Karin, who was kneeling on the ground next to Hinata and Anko, blushed a little before answering Yuna's question.
"Well, I thought that since Hinata-sama and Anko-sama are going to be punished, I might sneak in a punishment for me as well."
Yuna's eyebrows rose at Karin's answer, and after pondering for a moment, she shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure, why not. Let's do something fun in the bedroom tonight."
Karin's eyes shone in excitement as she eagerly nodded her head. Next, Yuna's eyes fell on the only person who hadn't said anything yet. Tayuya, who was sitting on the couch opposite of Yuna, while watching the scene unfolding in front of her with an awkward expression.
"If I remember correctly, your name was Tayuya, right? What can I do for you?"
Tayuya nodded her head and was just about to answer when the fox lying on Yuna's lap interrupted her.
"You really have a selective memory when it comes to the names of women and men, huh?"
"Although that is true, it would be kind of weird for me to forget her name since I spanked her butt once."
Tayuya blushed in shame, but a short moment later, that shame was forgotten due to the dangerous glare Hinata was giving her. Additionally, Karin was looking at her with a competitive gaze that sent shivers down her spine.
'Damnit, now that pervert thinks that I have the same interests as her. Why in the world does she look at me like she wants to challenge me to some seriously f*ed up competition?'
"Errr, Yuna, can we get up now?"
Yuna simply nodded her head and motioned Hinata and Anko to sit down next to her, which they immediately did. Karin would have probably done the same, but she currently had a perverted expression on her face and fantasized about what will happen at night.
Hinata was just about to start petting Kurama as well when he stood up and walked towards the door at a quick pace.
"I'm needed somewhere else, gotta go."
Before anyone could say anything else, Kurama left the room while Hinata's hand was still hovering above the place where his body was a few seconds ago, resulting in a pout appearing on her face.
Yuna chuckled in amusement and put her attention back on Tayuya.
"Well?"
Tayuya was just about to say that she was simply looking for a job inside the Uzumaki compound, but Anko had other plans.
"She is here to become your maid, Yuna."
"N-No, wai…"
"Oh? Okay, you're hired."
"Eh? Just like that? No, more importantly, I don't wa…"
"Hahaha, isn't that great, Tayuya? You were hired just like that."
Tayuya glared at Anko, who couldn't help but smirk a little after repeatedly blocking off Tayuya's escape attempts. A deep sigh escaped Tayuya.
'Damn, she really wants to push that position on me, huh? Should I just take it? Well, somehow, I don't think I have much of a choice in that regard. I fact, didn't Yuna already say that I'm hired? She probably wouldn't be happy if I were to say anything else suddenly. Sh*t!'
"Sigh* F* it, I accept."
Suddenly, a dangerous aura started covering Tayuya. No, in fact, it was two different auras. One from Hinata, and the other one from Yuna. The first to speak was Yuna.
"Tayuya, I believe we discussed your cursing habits, no? I wonder if we need to have another private discussion?"
A chill went down Tayuya's spine as cold sweat started flowing down her back.
"N-No, t-that won't be necessary. T-That one accidentally slipped out. It won't happen again."
"Geez, what are you doing? That would have been such a good chance to receive a punishment from Yuna-sama. What a disappointing performance."
Tayuya glanced at the still kneeling Karin for a second and then decided to ignore her completely. Tayuya had no clue how her head worked and would rather not find out either.
Moments later, the pressure on Tayuya was reduced due to Yuna retracting her aura. Although Tayuya was relieved, she still couldn't relax entirely due to Hinata pressuring her.
"Well, it seems like you managed to weasel yourself in here, but let me tell you this before you get any false ideas: If you think that you can casually join Yuna's harem just because you became her maid, then you entirely wrong."
When Hinata finished her speech, Tayuya looked at her blankly before she answered her.
"Are you crazy? Why in the world would I want to join her harem?"
"Eh? You don't? You didn't fall for Yuna when she gave you that spanking?"
*BANG*
Tayuya's fist hit the table in anger as she started glaring at Hinata.
"DAMNIT, WHY DO ALL OF YOU MADWOMEN ASSUME THAT I ENJOYED THE SPANKING!?"
""You didn't!?""
Tayuya's eyebrow twitched in irritation when Hinata and Karin looked at her like she was the weirdo in this conversation.
"Damn, you bitches are completely crazy."
As soon as those words left her mouth, Tayuya paled.
"Tayuya-chan…"
A shiver went through Tayuya's spine, and without a second of hesitation, she stood up and shot towards the window. Unfortunately for her, before she could reach it, Yuna appeared in front of her and hit her stomach with five glowing fingers, immobilizing her instantly.
Yuna casually caught the falling Tayuya, put her over the shoulder, and walked back to the couch.
"Well, it's spanking time, Tayuya-chan."
"N-No way!? A-At least do it in private, please."
"Nah, I don't mind spanking you while people are watching."
"BUT I MIND!!!"
Yuna casually ignored Tayuya's complaints, sat down on the couch, and put Tayuya over her lap. She was just about to start when Anko interrupted her.
"Please wait a moment, Yuna."
Tayuya was surprised that Anko interrupted Yuna. Anko was the last person she expected help from. Unfortunately, she was utterly wrong in her assumption that Anko would actually help her.
"Recently, I got the fantasy of spanking someone while you do the same to someone else. Since now is a good chance, I would like to live out that fantasy now."
When Tayuya heard Anko's words, everything clicked together as rage started flooding her body.
"YOU DAMN BITCH!!! THIS IS WHY YOU WANTED ME TO BECOME A MAID!? I WILL KILL YOU!!!"
"Hehe, are you sure it is a good idea to swear in your current position?"
Yet again, Tayuya paled, but Yuna's following words made her calm down a little.
"I will allow this one. Although I don't appreciate you calling one of my women a "damn bitch", I can at least understand why you would say that from your point of view. As for your fantasy, you will have to ask Karin for that one, Anko."
"P-Please wait a moment. Since you know that I was tricked, how about letting me go?"
Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement when she heard Tayuya's words.
"Hehe, what kind of nonsense are you saying, Tayuya? This is an entirely different matter. Whether you become my maid or not, this is a punishment for swearing too much and has nothing to do with being my maid."
Despair started flooding Tayuya's body when she heard Yuna's words. It appeared that there would be no escaping this.
Meanwhile, Karin started contemplating whether she should accept or not. Honestly, if it were just Anko in the room, she would probably reject. At the end of the day, the object of her desire is still mostly Yuna.
However, Yuna was in the room right now, so Karin could already feel herself getting a little excited. A spark of desire flashed through her eyes met Anko's.
"Let's do it!"
"GAH, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT DAMNED PERVERT!!!"
Tayuya's outcry was ignored, and moments later, slapping sounds echoed through the room, accompanied by outcries of pleasure from Karin and pain from Tayuya.
