Chapter 157 Culinary Delight Among Goblins

Suzuka picked up a book from her desk and placed it under Hermit's head, fashioning it into a makeshift pillow.

With a confident smile, she said, "There, he should feel much better now."

However, Olivia couldn't help but express her disappointment, gazing at Suzuka's seemingly mocking attempt to comfort Hermit. 

"Suzu, you're just mocking him now. Please be serious and stop joking around."

Suzuka, defending her actions, said, "What? Hey, I'm doing my best here. I even gave him a pillow. What else does he need?"

Unfazed by Suzuka's response, Olivia lifted Hermit off the cold ground and cradled him tenderly in her warm embrace. She gently sat on the chair, placing the trembling goblin on her lap.

 With care, she retrieved a small, soft cloth from her pocket and cleaned Hermit's filthy face. She then gently positioned his ears by his side and crossed his shivering arms over his heavily heaving chest to ensure a more comfortable resting position. 

Olivia further removed the panties Hermit had been wearing as a makeshift hat, placing them on the desk. She then took off her metal glove and pressed the cold metal against the large, swollen bump on Hermit's head, aiming to reduce the swelling.

While observing Olivia's compassionate care for the goblin, Suzuka couldn't help but feel a slight sense of disgust. 

"Ugh! Olivia, are you alright touching that vile creature like that? Please don't force yourself. He is my responsibility; you don't have to dirty your hands with this creature. I'll take care of it myself. You're acting just like Larry, you know that? He also cared for that goblin as if it were a small child or something."

Olivia responded with a smile, "Larry did that, huh? Yes, he cared for all life... I used to be ruthless towards any creature when I first met him, consumed by anger and a desire to torture them for their actions. But Larry showed me that there was more to it than just rage and anger."

Suzuka's expression softened as Olivia shared her reminiscence of Larry's compassionate nature. She realized that there might be a depth to this goblin that she had yet to understand. With a hint of curiosity in her voice, Suzuka asked, "So, what did Larry see in these creatures? What made him care for them so deeply?"

Olivia gently brushed over Hermit's ear, her touch filled with tenderness. 

"Larry believed that even the most misunderstood and grotesque beings deserve a chance at redemption. He saw the potential for goodness in them, buried beneath layers of pain and fear. It was his unwavering belief in the power of compassion that transformed my perspective. if you stay around Larry I am sure he will change your look at these creatures as well."

"That sound like a bunch of..." Suzuka's murmurs under her breath were barely audible, drowned out by Hermit's disoriented mutterings as he regained consciousness.

"Ughhh! Ouwiee! Ouchieee! Hermit hurts... Ouchies, my head hurts. W-what happened, ouchies... My ears... Me Ears?! Are they safe?"

As Hermit began to squirm and wiggle on Olivia's lap, he frantically embraced his ears, cradling them gently while showering them with delicate kisses. It was a peculiar sight to behold, a goblin displaying such affectionate care for his own ears.

Olivia, despite her astonishment at understanding the goblin's words, maintained her composed demeanor. Hermit suddenly froze like a lifeless rodent as his bulging eyes fixated on Olivia. Fear consumed him, leaving him utterly motionless, his mind devoid of escape plans as he played dead in her lap.

 She gently petted Hermit's head, offering words of comfort.

 "Relax, little guy. I mean you no harm unless you attack me. You've taken a tumble down the stairs and injured yourself. It's best for you to rest for a while."

The soothing tone of Olivia's voice danced in Hermit's ears, alleviating his anxiety. Her words carried genuine care and tenderness, putting the goblin at ease, at least for the moment. Trembling, he managed to voice his concern.

 "Is Hermit going to be okay? You won't hurt Hermit, right?"

In the midst of this fragile calm, Suzuka abruptly leaped off the bed, startling Hermit and shattering the tranquility of the room. Her accusing voice filled the space as she yelled, "She won't, but I will! What were you doing with my panties, hmm?"

Hermit, completely spooked, let out a high-pitched screech, "Kreeeee!" He tumbled to the ground, scrambling on all fours like a frightened creature, desperately seeking refuge in the nearest corner.

Suzuka blocked his path, effectively trapping the quivering goblin. With a menacing tone, she taunted him. 

"Hey, Hermit?! Had a bit of fun, weren't you? Playing with my panties, sniffing them? Well, my dear goblin, your delightful little game earns you a punishment. Oh, yes, your ears shall pay the price."

Hermit's world turned into a nightmarish whirlwind as he convulsed and thrashed, his fragile form clawing and pushing against the confining corner in an attempt to climb the wall, seeking even the tiniest glimmer of escape. 

He let out gut-wrenching cries, pleading for mercy in a desperate, high-pitched wail that pierced the air.

 "Wreeee! Nooooo! Please! Kreeee! Not the ears! Not the ears! Wreeee!"

His legs trembled, his hands shook uncontrollably, his mouth quivered with terror, and his wide eyes darted around in a desperate search for an escape. The weight of his actions bore down upon him, leaving him cornered and defenseless.

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Suzuka relished in the fear that gripped the trembling goblin. She took a step closer, her voice dripping with a sinister tone, "Oh, Hermit, you should have thought twice before indulging in such forbidden pleasures. Now, prepare yourself for the punishment that will echo through your ears for eternity."

Hermit's body convulsed uncontrollably, his feeble attempts to escape futile against the cornered position he found himself in. The room seemed to close in around him as Suzuka closed the distance, her presence looming over him like a dark cloud.

"Please! Nooo! Spare my ears!" Hermit cried out, his voice filled with genuine terror. His legs wobbled, his hands flailed desperately, and his mouth formed pleas for mercy that fell on deaf ears.

Olivia, witnessing the unfolding scene, couldn't bear to see Hermit suffer. She stepped forward, her voice filled with empathy, "Suzu, perhaps you should reconsider. Punishment may not be the best approach here. Let's find a more compassionate way to address the situation."

In a flurry of panicked agility, Hermit seized the opportune moment when Suzuka's attention wavered ever so slightly. With an astonishing burst of speed and a leap that defied the laws of goblin physics, he evaded Suzuka's grasp and darted past her.

With an awe-inspiring leap that could rival the acrobats of a circus, Hermit soared through the air, defying gravity, and gracefully dived head-first under the bed, scuttling as far as he could with unmatched agility. Suzuka dropped to the ground, her elegant demeanor momentarily forgotten as she started to flail her hand under the bed in a frenzied attempt to catch the mischievous and terrified goblin.

"Come here, you little runt! I need a word with you!" she yelled, her voice a mixture of jest and irritation.

Hermit's heart pounded in his chest, his tiny frame quivering as he cried out in terror, "Reeee! Master, please! Stop! No punishment! Please! N-no, Master! Please, spare me! I-I didn't mean to cause any trouble!"

But Suzuka was relentless, inching closer and closer to the elusive goblin, her fingers almost grazing his feet. Consumed by despair and fear, Hermit's instincts kicked in, and in a moment of desperation, he spotted Suzuka's hidden toys in a box nearby. With trembling hands, he grabbed the box and was about to begin tossing Suzuka's toys at her.

Suzuka froze in place, caught off guard by his unexpected counterattack.

 "H-hey! W-what are you t-thin your doing there, Hermit!? Put the box down, don't you dare mess with it," she stuttered, trying to regain control of the situation.

But Hermit's in fear-fueled frenzy started to hurl toys at her, some rolled out from under the bed and landed at Olivia's feet. She leaned down and picked up the largest toy with a flirtatious smirk.

"Oh my! Suzu! You have a fine toy collection. This one is so big you could use it as a barbell for training," Olivia teased, her flirtatious tone adding to Suzuka's embarrassment.

Suzuka blushed furiously, her cheeks turning a shade of crimson as she let out an adorable, cute shout.

 "Ahhh! Put it down, please. It's so embarrassing, this stupid goblin! Please help me pull him out from under the bed, Olivia," she pleaded, her composure momentarily shattered.

But Hermit wasn't about to be caught so easily. He clung desperately to the shadows beneath the bed, his wide eyes filled with terror as he begged for mercy. 

"M-Master, please! I-I didn't mean to throw the toys at you! I-I panicked! P-please, don't punish me!"

His tiny voice quivered with fear, and he scooted further away from Suzuka's reach, hoping to find some solace in the darkness under the bed. 

"I-I'm just a g-goblin, Master. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. P-please let me go!" he pleaded, his words trembling with desperation.

But Suzuka was determined, and her hand darted under the bed with renewed vigor, inching closer to the trembling goblin. Hermit's fear reached its peak, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Reeee! P-please, Master, no punishment! I-I'll be good, I promise!"

With each moment that passed, Hermit's heart pounded louder in his ears, and his breath came in ragged gasps. His mind raced, desperately trying to find a way out of this predicament. And then, like a spark of hope, he saw the open drawer.

Hermit didn't wait until Olivia and Suzuka teamed up on him, he quickly climbed the bed with an adrenalin surge, and with a running dive off the bed, he flew in the air and dove into Suzuka's open undergarments drawer.

With nimble fingers, he adeptly burrowed into the depths of the drawer, camouflaging his presence beneath a sea of garments, their soft fabrics providing a fragile shield against the outside world. Only his wide, glimmering eyes peered out from the depths of the drawer, a reflection of his determination to evade capture.

From within the darkness of the drawer, Hermit's voice trembled, "P-please, Master, I-I didn't mean to cause any trouble. I-I'll stay here, hidden, I promise. Just don't hurt me!"

Suzuka paused, a mixture of frustration and anger evident on her face.

 "You little rascal! What do you think you are doing in my panties drawer?" 

Hermit's eyes darted around nervously, hoping his impromptu hiding spot would keep him safe. From the shadows of the drawer, he let out a soft whimper, praying that Suzuka's patience would hold, and she wouldn't drag him out to face his punishment.

With a mixture of astonishment and disbelief, Suzuka turned around and looked at Olivia. The room fell silent, save for the sound of Hermit's shallow breaths and the faint rustling of clothes as he sought refuge within his improvised shelter.

Suzuka's jaw dropped in disbelief.

 "Did you see that, Olivia? Unbelievable! He's swimming in my underwear. It's almost as if he's mocking me!"

Suzuka's shock gradually transformed into frustration. She approached the drawer cautiously, her voice tinged with a hint of irritation, "Hermit, you cunning little rascal! It seems you didn't have enough fun with only sniffing my panties but now you want to sleep in them. Or are you just playing hide-and-seek in my panties drawer, hmm? Well, I hope you're ready for the consequences of your audacious hiding place!"

Olivia, observing the unfolding spectacle, couldn't help but chuckle at the goblin's playfulness. She leaned closer. 

"Suzu, what are you going to do now? This certainly took an unexpected turn. I suggest you just forgive him, okay? You scared him, I think he had enough."

Suzuka smirked mischievously, a glint of mischief dancing in her eyes.

 "Oh, dear Hermit. Olivia is right. I forgive you, you may come out of there. Fear not, there will be no punishment. Come out, I have some delicious food for you."

Suzuka extended a hand to Hermit, her tone softening. 

"Come now, little goblin. There will be no punishment."

Hermit's eyes widened in surprise, his trembling body slowly easing as he tentatively reached out and took Suzuka's offered hand. Relieved, he stammered, "T-thank you, Master Helen. Hermit is sorry. Hermit will be good."

Suzuka's smile widened into a devilish grin as she held Hermit's hand with a vice-like grip, making sure he couldn't escape her mischievous intentions. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she teased him with the promise of an end to his panty mischief.

"Indeed, Hermit. No more panty mischief, alright?"

But her true intentions revealed themselves as she pulled him out of the drawer with astonishing force, slamming him onto her plush bed like a ragdoll. With a wicked glint in her eyes, she taunted him, "Ha! Did you really think your actions would go unpunished? Think again, I have a much worse punishment for you in mind than torturing your ears. My daddy used to punish me like this when I was a little mischievous rascal." 

Hermit's eyes widened with terror, and his pitiful cries echoed throughout the room, "Nooooo! Master! Nooo! Wreee!"

She turned to Olivia and said, "Hold this rascal for me, Oliva. I will make sure he won't be touching my things again."

Olivia, interested to see how Suzuka was punished by her dad when she was little, took hold of the goblin preventing him from escaping. 

Suzuka then proceeded to grab hold of Hermit's feeble legs, her fingers dancing down his moist feet. The sensation was too much for him to bear, and he couldn't help but giggle helplessly, his pleas for mercy drowned out by laughter. 

"Ghee gee geh geh, master, ge ge, stop, it tickles. Ghee gee!"

As her fingertips grazed Hermit's feet, Suzuka couldn't help but notice how tender and unique his feet were. They were moist and soft, akin to a dog's gentle paw. As she held his delicate feet in her hands, she marveled at their adorable appearance - plump and puffy. 

The goblin's life in damp and moist environments had worked wonders for Hermit's feet, enhancing their already sensitive nature. The slightest touch would elicit giggles and squirms from the goblin, rendering them an amusement for those who dared to play with him.

 They were a culinary delight among goblins, and their meat was considered a rare delicacy. The younger the goblin the tastier the feet were. But Suzuka had different plans for his cute, sensitive feet.

While goblin feet may have been seen as a tasty treat among their kind, in Suzuka's hands, they became tools for playful torment, ensuring Hermit's antics would not go unpunished. Yet, even in the midst of this teasing discipline, it was hard to deny the adorableness of those plump and puff feet, as they danced and wiggled with each ticklish touch, creating a scene that blended the bizarre and the endearing in a mesmerizing display of goblin quirkiness.

Their softness was reminiscent of a well-worn cushion, inviting to the touch and yielding with a gentle bounce. Hermit's feet, though small and meek, possessed an intriguing allure. Moist and slightly glistening, they carried a peculiar softness that beckoned to be touched. His feet were surprisingly well-kept. They were naturally moist, a consequence of the damp environments he often found himself in, yet this moisture added an unexpected allure to their appearance.
