The identified fiction is a continuation or concluding section of Kyotaro Hanamaki’s bondage-and-torture narrative “Flower and Snake.” The visible passage depicts members of the fictional Hazakura Group punishing Keiko for violating its rules and coercing Mrs. Shizuko, who has pleaded for her release. The scene emphasizes ritualized restraint, bamboo-rod beating, hemp-rope bondage, and an intestinal-douche device, presenting the group’s violence as organized disciplinary practice. The extract supplied here begins only at printed page 159 and is not sufficiently complete or legible to support a full scholarly transcription of pages 156–165.

Flower and Snake [The supplied image extract begins on printed page 159, not page 156. The visible pages contain the concluding portion of the fiction, followed by unrelated material beginning on page 164. Because no legible images for printed pages 156–158 are present in the supplied extract, a complete translation of the assigned range is impossible.] [Visible fiction text, printed pp. 159–165] “‘It hurts—my arm’s coming out of its socket! It hurts! Help me!’ Keiko stood on tiptoe, her face twisted with fear and pain as she screamed. ‘How can you do such a thing? What has Keiko done? You took the money, and yet you’re still tormenting her. Isn’t that cruel?’ Ginko said this and brought the green bamboo cane down again on Keiko’s buttocks. ‘If it’s money you want, I’ll speak to my husband and pay you as much as you like. So please forgive Keiko now.’ Mrs. Shizuko pleaded with Ginko. ‘If you insist, I might stop Keiko’s punishment here—but there’s a condition. Listen.’ Ginko suddenly stopped running the green bamboo over Keiko’s body and continued: ‘Right now I’m going to show this beautiful young wife what punishment is imposed on anyone who breaks the Hazakura Group’s rules. Prepare yourself.’ At Ginko’s command, the female gang dragged Keiko, who was crouched on the floor, to her feet. They tied her naked body tightly and brought out an intestinal-douche instrument. ‘Stop!’ Mrs. Shizuko cried out. ‘I might stop, but you, ma’am, are blathering that the worst thing was loving someone who broke the Hazakura Group’s rules. In this Hazakura Group, relations with an outsider are strictly forbidden.’ Laughing, Ginko took the bamboo rod handed to her by one of her companions and struck Keiko’s buttocks sharply. ‘Eeeek!’ Keiko threw back her head and screamed. ‘But the promise—the promise you made was different!’ Mrs. Shizuko could no longer bear to watch and tried to lay hands on Ginko. ‘Oh—stop, please, forgive me—’ Ginko clung to Mrs. Shizuko’s legs and looked up at Keiko, who was tied to the pillar. ‘What is it, ma’am? Say something.’ Still smoking a cigarette, Ginko reached behind Mrs. Shizuko, seized her, and forced her face around to look straight ahead. Mrs. Shizuko was secured beneath the pillar in a cross-legged restraint. Dark hemp rope was wound tightly around her gleaming, pale, lustrous bare skin. Several merciless lengths of hemp rope were drawn above and below her breasts, which looked ready to burst, and, with her arms tied behind her, her legs were forced into a crossed position and she was bound in that posture. Until she had been reduced to this state, the lady must have resisted and struggled desperately. Now, however, as though resigned, she bit her lips so hard that they bled and kept her eyes shut.

Because no legible images for printed pages 156–158 are present in the supplied extract, a complete transcription of the assigned range is impossible.] [Visible fiction text, printed pp. 159–165] [The article text is set vertically in multiple columns. The supplied scan is sufficiently legible for broad identification of the narrative, but not for a reliable character-by-character transcription of every column.] 「痛い、腕が抜けちゃうよ、痛い、助けて」桂子は、つま先で立ち、恐怖と苦痛に顔を歪めて叫ぶのだった。「なんてことをするのです！　一体、桂子が何をしたというの、お金を受取っておきながらまだ桂子をいじめるなんて、おんまりじゃありませんか」銀子はそんな事をいって、更に桂子の尻へ青竹を打ち落す。「お金なら、主人にいって、いくらでも出します。だから、桂子をもう許してやって」静子夫人は哀願するように銀子にいった。「そんなにいうなら、桂子の仕置はこの辺で止めてやってもいいけど、条件があるよ。聞くね」銀子は、桂子の体に青竹を走らす事をふと止めていう。「今、この美しい若奥さんに、葉桜団の規則を破ったものは、どんな罰を受けるか見せてあげるんだ。覚悟しな」銀子の指令を受けた女愚連隊は、その場にうずくまる桂子を引きずり起し、きびしく、その裸体を縛り上げて、流腸器を取り出した。「やめて！」静子夫人は叫ぶ。「やめてやってもいいけど、奥さん、あんたは葉桜団の規則を破ったものを愛したのが何より悪いとほざきやがる。この葉桜団じゃ、素人との関係は御法度なんだ」銀子は笑いながら、仲間の一人が手渡した背竹で、桂子の尻をピシリッと打った。「ヒイーッ」桂子は顔をのけぞらせて悲鳴をあげる。「約束が、約束が違うじゃありませんか！」静子夫人は、もうこれ以上見ていられなくなって、銀子に手をかけようとする。「おあ、やめて、かんにんして――」銀子は静子夫人の両足に取りすがるようにして、柱に縛りつけられている桂子を見上げる。「どうしたい。奥さん。何とかおいいよ」銀子はくわえ煙草をしたまま、静子夫人のあとに手をかけて、ぐっと夫人の顔を正面に向ける。静子夫人は、柱の下にあぐら縛りにされていた。きらめくように白い光沢のある素肌に、どす黒い麻縄がきびしく巻きついている。はち切れんばかりに豊満な乳房の上下に、非情な麻縄が数本かけられ、後手に縛られたその上に、足をあぐらに交錯させられ、あぐら縛りにされているのだ。夫人は、こんな姿にされるまで、必死に抵抗し、暴れたに違いないが、今は、もう観念したように、血の出るほど固く唇を噛み、目を閉じていた。 [The visible pages continue with the torture scene, the use of a 流腸器, and the collapse of the characters.

Translation Notes

The page images are vertically set and heavily degraded. The supplied extract visibly starts at printed page 159, although the requested range begins at 156; pages 156–158 are absent from the provided images. Page 164 shifts to a separate feature, 「下着と女性化と」, and page 166 begins another item, so neighboring material was excluded. The term 流腸器 has been rendered descriptively as “intestinal-douche instrument”; it is a specialized historical sexualized-enema device and may require terminology review. 仕置 has been translated as “punishment,” while いじめる and related coercive language are rendered as “torment.” Names are romanized as Keiko, Ginko, and Shizuko. The English title follows the supplied KRP title and the printed running title 花と蛇. Because the OCR/text layer is empty and the raster images do not permit dependable reading of every character, only a short, visibly legible passage is transcribed and translated rather than inventing missing text. Uncertain readings: - The author’s name is supplied as Kyotaro Hanamaki by the request; it is not independently recoverable from the visible pages. - The reading and exact nuance of 流腸器 are uncertain; the translation uses “intestinal-douche instrument.” - The visible page sequence and column boundaries make some punctuation and sentence segmentation uncertain. - The printed title 花と蛇 is read as “Flower and Snake.” Missing or illegible text: - All substantive text on printed pages 156–158 is missing from the supplied image extract. - Large portions of the fiction on printed pages 159–163 and 165 are too degraded or small in the supplied raster images for a reliable complete transcription. - The continuation and ending of the fiction cannot be established with certainty from the supplied images. - Any text obscured by page damage, gutter loss, bleed-through, or low contrast has been omitted rather than reconstructed. - The supplied PDF contains ten image pages, but the visible images do not provide a complete, legible article range corresponding to printed pages 156–165.
