Part 2
Within minutes, Rin and her sisters were in the city prison.
“Well,” said the ever-cheerful Sakura, trying to make light of developments. “I didn’t see that coming!”
“None of us did.” Rin was grim-faced. “Did you know that they arrested Meguri this morning? For stealing a bracelet? I don’t know who is behind this, but you can bet on one thing.”
“What?” asked Haru, shivering in the cold of the dark cell.
“I bet that bitch Meguri lied about us, to try and save her own skin.”
Further conversation was prevented by the arrive of a jailer.
“Rin-Chan, my name is Tatsukichi. I am taking you to meet Meguri-chan now. I suppose there's been some kind of misunderstanding. And if you can explain to Meguri-chan and get her to honestly confess to her crime, I think that you and your two sisters will be able to get out of here. After all, you are not the thieves who stole Lady Kaede 's jade bracelet.”
“Thank you very much, Tatsukichi-san. if we can get out of here, I'll make sure to give you lots and lots of money to thank you. I’m sure you know that we're innocent, that we didn't do anything wrong.”
“Please follow me, Rin-Chan.”
Rin was taken to a dungeon entrance with 10 stone steps leading downward, and the light was very dim. She felt a little scared, but she followed Tatsukichi with a calm demeanour and she reached the tenth stone step. She heard Tatsukichi say, "All of the women here are women who have committed felonies, there is no hope for them to leave. ...... Please watch them carefully."
“Yes, yes.”
Even though it was a hot summer day, the dungeon still felt very damp and chilly to Rin.
Rin looked fearfully into the dimly lit dungeon. She then realised that the writhing white thing was a woman and gasped.
“How awful!” Rin couldn’t help but scream.
The dungeon had bare rock walls on three sides and no windows. Even the ground beneath her feet was uneven. In the cold, she saw women, lying naked, without even a stitch on. Rin knew that these women were known as "chujo" - “demon-possessed female beasts.”
When Tatsukichi tapped on the bars of the prison, the women who had been lying there quickly got up, sat down in a row and turned to face him. Their bare skin was dirty, and their hair was shaggy. There were four women. However, although they were called chujo, all four were pretty and their bodies were well-proportioned, and they exuded enough charm to be attractive women.
"Have you all duly shitted? Let’s see your tubs!"
Rin was disgusted. This was a different world. Men discussing toilet functions with women?
But the women each grabbed a tub from the corner of the cell, sat down again and placed it in front of them.
"Here it is!" the women shouted in unison.
With a clatter, four tubs were placed in front of the bars of the prison. Rin looked into one of the tubs and her face contorted for a moment. Inside the tubs were piles of blackened lumps, with plenty of yellow liquid drifting to the bottom. These women were not allowed to go to the toilet and must have been defecating over the tub in prison. And each time they were checked for excrement in the tubs like this. Rin thought that this must be an unbearable humiliation for a woman every day.
With a shock, she realised that one of the women was Meguri! Poor compliant Meguri, she’d been here only a few hours. Already she was naked, and already she was presenting her shit to Taksukichi on demand!
Taksukichi addressed her. "Meguri! I've brought Rin-Chan. You may join us in the inquiry room together. Where Inoue-san awaits you. Then you'll talk about everything you know, do you understand?"
Meguri was silent, she had already heard from the other women that Inoue enjoyed the pain of the women in this hell. But there was no point in begging for mercy, she wanted only to be left alone with her own silent resistance.
"Answer me! Are you going to let Rin-Chan go there instead of you! You know that Inoue-san has a very bad temper, so don't you delay! Otherwise, I'll have to let Rin-Chan meet Inoue-san alone." Tatsukichi handed a chujo a rope, then he opened the dungeon door.
Meguri obediently stretched her own feet towards the chujo holding the rope, then she allowed her to tie both of her ankles together with the rope. The rope was very short, restricting her stride considerably.
Rin watched as she came out of the cell. Her head was hanging slack in an attitude of despair, and her naked body was shaking. She covered her breasts and crotch with her hands.
Meguri suddenly glanced at Rin with embarrassment. At that moment, Rin glared at her angrily. “Put your hands behind your back.”
Meguri slowly put her hands behind her back, which had been covering her naked body. She then straightened her back. She lifted her head, staring only at the ceiling.
Tatsukichi is Inoue's favourite henchman, s a master at using ropes to good effect, and his movements were swift and efficient.
In a few minutes, the twine was wrapped tightly around Meguri's naked body like a python. Meguri's hands were tied behind her back with the rope, and the rope around her neck was wrapped around her chest and tightened. She was forced to prop up her chest, her breasts were tied so that they stood out so conspicuously that her folded hands did not cover her bottom. She could no longer use her hands to hide her breasts and shaved lower body.
As Meguri slowly walked past Rin towards the cold damp stone steps, with her hands-free Rin had the urge to grab her by the hair and slap her hard a few times, but she held back. She knew that Tatsukichi would make fun of such behaviour and that she didn't want.
The stone steps were very low, but it was still very hard for Meguri to lift one foot and step up. She struggled with her balance to keep herself from falling. She lifted one leg, her toes slightly arched in the balls of her feet, her soles off the ground, stepping lightly on the stone steps. Then she lifted the other leg, and the short rope around her ankle followed her movements, adding to the splendour of her performance. Because she had to overcome this difficulty, she was forced to move extremely slowly.
Meguri trembled as she reached the ninth stone step. She stopped and looked back at Rin. As if she was trying to tell her about some message with begging eyes. But Rin, believing her to be the cause of her problems, just glared at her angrily.
"Cut it out, cunt!" Tatsukichi shouted and pushed her so hard that she couldn't maintain her balance and fell to her knees on the stone steps. Then, without even letting out a scream, she climbed the last step with her knees rubbing against the stone steps.
Rin thought Meguri looked like a pathetic, hateful, stinking whore with her miserable hands tied behind her back.
As Tatsukichi helped Meguri, who was on her knees gasping for air, to her feet, he suddenly sniggered maliciously. "Hey! Meguri, how long has it been since you've had a bath? you smell worse than a dirty sow! You are one stinking whore!"
Meguri's head hung down even lower, and she didn't respond to him.
"Hey Meguri, don't you want to take a bath? You'll be able to go take a shower if you answer my question."
"I smelled fine before you brought me to this shit-house!"
"In the summer, when it's so hot, it does get really smelly. Before we take a bath, you must show me your underside. You disobeyed me last time, and you have been punished. Today, when I am kind enough to take you to the bath, you must not make the same foolish mistake you made last time."
"I don't believe you have it in you to be kind. Your master Inoue is a terrible beast! A demon! You just take me for a fool! I wouldn't believe a word you said. You're a lousy liar." Meguri gave Tatsukichi some push back while gasping for air.
"You say that because Rin is watching you. You implicated Rin and her sisters, didn't you? You're afraid of her. She hates you. It's not just Rin, Haru and Sakura hate you too, because you're a chujo. You stole Kaede-Sama's jade bracelet, you're a verminous stinking whore!"
"I'm innocent ...... but, I know that Rin and Haru and Sakura will know the truth one day. I don't care if they hate me."
"I'll tell you the plan for today. I'll start by scrubbing your underparts with water. But you have to walk out of here. Move!"
Meguri walked slowly ahead of Tatsukichi and Rin in silence and as she reached a very spacious room, she heard Tatsukichi's orders.
"Put your back against the wall! Spread your legs wide! Keep your back up!"
Meguri obediently followed Tatsukichi's orders. With her back rested against the wall, her legs spread, she held her waist up, exposing her lower body, which was not covered by pubic hair.
Tatsukichi bends down and uses his nose to smell the stench between Meguri's legs. who mutters, "Ahh - how disgusting!" Her reddened face upwards in embarrassment and closed her eyes.
"Here's where the smell is coming from! It stinks! The smell of piss and shit!, and your own juices mixed in for good measure! What a foul stench! Well, that's the smell of a chujo for you!"
Rin was deliberately keeping her distance from Meguri. Taksukichi was absolutely right, the smell emanating from Meguri was already so unbearable that Rin feared that she would violently throw up.
"Hey! Old Grandma! Come and clean Meguri, and be quick about it, or it'll be me in hot water! That whore, she really stinks!"
The jail employed an old woman who cleaned and shaved the prisoners. She quickly appeared. She had a small tub filled with warm water in her hand and a towel.
“Meguri, sit down! Spread your legs wider!” Tatsukichi ordered.
Reluctantly, Meguri slowly lowered her bottom into the small tub, then she kept her legs widely spread and in a deep squatting position. The old woman's hands begin to scrub her lower body.
She speedily cleaned up Meguri's dirty perineum. After Meguri's lower body had been cleaned by the old woman, she was pushed into the creepy room by Tatsukichi.
Rin first met Inoue in that room.
