A mansion nestled in the depths of the forest.

Tonight will play host to a horrifying activity

“Hahaha… Decide, Charlotte” Allen

The two are in a dark room with curtains blocking off the moonlight. Sparse candles illuminate a young man and woman standing in near each other. The young man is in his early twenties, he looks well-organized with sharp eyes. His visage is disturbing, the right half of his hair is deep black while the left half is bright white, and under the hair is his blood-red eyes. He’s all and thin, wearing a hooded robe like an evil wizard.

“No, no… I can’t let myself…” Charlotte

The girl sitting on a chair speaks in a quivering voice. She’s a beautiful girl a little younger than the man. She has long golden hair that stretches with gentle waves down to her waist and clear pastel blue eyes like a summer sky. She’s wearing a high quality silk nightdress that complements her well-proportioned body that she carries in an elegant manner. She’s every bit a noble lady with a good upbringing.

That beautiful girl’s face is distorted with fear. In that dark room, the only item lit is the table. She screams as she looks at what is placed there.

“Please reconsider, Mr. Allen! This is so naughty!” Charlotte

“Hmm, who decided on that?” Allen

The man named Allen puts on a devilish smile.

“I am the lord of this mansion, and you are under my control. You must obey my commands, even if you hate them” Allen

“Augh!” Charlotte

“Haha! There’s no use crying or screaming!” Allen

Allen is filled with the spirit of ‘Let’s do this!’, partly influenced by the joy of forcing a helpless girl into his deeds. The unfortunate girl Charlotte has no leeway to refuse, on the table is the items she’s been frightened with.

“Let’s go! Let’s eat the ramen for our midnight snack!” Allen

Allen points at a steaming bowl of food. There are yellow curly noodles soaked in a cloudy white soup with stewed pork, seasoned eggs, and fermented bamboo shoots. It has recently become popular after it was introduced by an Eastern country.

A rich scent drifts from the bowl, causing Charlotte’s belly to growl. She attempts to refuse by shaking her head.

“It’s time for bed! Having such a savory snack at midnight… is so naughty!” Charlotte

“Hmm, that’s not all.” Allen

Allen reaches and brings out a tray that was prepared into the candlelight.

“Haha! I’ve also brought a box of ice cream! We can eat as much as we’d like after the ramen!” Allen

“Wow! What kind of toppings is there?!” Charlotte

“Heheh, Charlotte is clever to think that. We have many!” Allen

Under a napking, the toppings are revealed as cut fruits, sauces like honey, chocolate chip cookies, and similar things. There were even the three core flavors of ice cream, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry obviously.

“You could make your own parfait from this. Once we’ve eaten to our heart’s content, you’ll play board games with me! We’re staying up late!” Allen

“Ugh, if I do that, it’ll be hard to get up tomorrow morning!” Charlotte

“Unfortunately, you won’t wake up tomorrow morning!” Allen

Charlotte has a sharp intake of breath.

“It’s clear that we’ll be sleeping until noon at the earliest!” Allen

“That’s!” Charlotte

“Hahaha! Cry! I live to hear you scream!” Allen

Outside, thunder can be heard from a distant storm. Finally, the girl can no longer resist, and reaches for the chopsticks.

This is a story where a diabolical wizard corrupts the dastardly villainess, a feel-good story.
