Chapter 5 : Am I pretty?

“Should I confess?”

As soon as I entered the house, I thought.

No, I just said it.

It’s okay.

After all, it’s my house.

Who cares if someone hears?

“Hmm… Hmmm…”

I stare intently at the phone screen.

The call history is displayed on the screen.

An 11-digit number. My thoughts are getting deeper.

“Our darling? No, not yet a darling.”

Of course, that will come soon…

But let’s save that for later.

“Jena in the seat next to me… Ugh, there’s a sense of distance.”

Not a fan as soon as I hear it. Rejected.

It sounds too businesslike!

“Jena-chan? Ugh, it’s like I’m not even an otaku.”

I’m no longer an otaku!

How could someone as pretty, with a big chest, and good at charming girls like me be an otaku? Heh.

“Sigh… I guess there’s no helping it…”

I had tried not to use this, but here it is.

Take that, my final move.

Hiya.

[Jena]

Hmm. It’s old-fashioned.

Feels like it smells like an old book…

But it’s pretty, so that’s fine.

“Phh. I can’t change it now.”

Hmm…

What should I do now?

“Should I confess over the phone?”

They say women really like it, confessions online.

It’s easy to reject, so it’s not a burden.

Where did I hear that from? The internet? Not sure.

“I guess I should take a shower.”

I open the wardrobe and look for a towel.

The towel is…

“Only one…?”

I looked at the washing machine.

Clothes were still scattered around.

“Sigh…”

‘Now, it’s really my house…’

I gathered all the clothes and put them into the washing machine.

How much detergent? About this much?

There’s fabric softener too? Just a little of that.

Beep- Whoooom.

Okay. Washing machine clear.

Now…

“Dishes. I have to do them.”

Ugh. I really hate living alone.

Where’s the housekeeper?!

Come out right now!

I stretched the rubber gloves and put them on my hands.

Swoosh—

“Haah…”

It was truly a long time.

The pots and dishes piled up were cleaned.

It really feels good to tidy up the room.

Beep- Beep- Beeeep.

‘The washing machine’s done.’

I hung the clothes on the drying rack.

When I unfolded the drying rack…

‘The room got smaller!’

First, I should shower.

I grabbed the towel I took out earlier,

And this time, I grabbed my underwear and went to the bathroom.

After taking off my clothes, I stood in front of the showerhead.

“…Gulp.”

I stepped back slightly and stretched my arms out.

As far away as I could from the shower, but just within reach.

Tap- I turned the faucet up.

Swoosh—

“Ugh…!”

At the same time, I took a large step back.

Cold water splashed on the back of my hair.

Of course, my body was still dry.

“Heh, I won.”

I won’t scream from cold water anymore.

After waiting a moment, warm water started flowing.

Ah, I’m starting to miss the warmth.

I took a step forward,

“Ahhh…”

With every drop of warm water, happiness bloomed.

Maybe it’s because I’m a woman now. Or maybe I’m just tired today.

Could be both? Anyway, I decided to enjoy this feeling.

“Hypnosis… hypnosis…”

I lay in the white room and thought.

A large room with only the essentials arranged.

“Hmm…”

Has Ha-yul already cast the hypnosis?

Or has she not done it yet?

Who did she meet?

Did she even touch her phone today?

Complicated thoughts twisted along the white walls.

At the end of the long black tail, a sentence came to mind.

‘…What if I’m already under her hypnosis?’

The thought of wanting Ha-yul, having spent the whole day with her.

Was it all fake?

But the fact that I saw Ha-yul’s phone…

“When I gave her my number, I saw it for the first time.”

A dangerous assumption passed through my mind.

“Could it be?”

‘In such a short time…?’

I took quite a while to press the numbers.

She took the phone from me without thinking.

I didn’t feel anything strange about it.

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

In that case…

Swoosh—

I decided to test it.

I sat up, leaning against the headboard of the bed.

I brought my hand to my chest.

Softly-.

“Hmm… I don’t feel anything.”

My other hand stretched downward.

Through the white dolphin pants, my fingers slid in.

Just in case, I carefully stroked.

“Ugh,”

No overwhelming pleasure pouring down on me,

Or complete numbness.

Nothing like that happened.

“Sigh…”

I feel unnecessarily embarrassed.

I feel like I’m just feeling normal.

What the hell am I doing?

I slipped my hand out of my trousers and moved it in front of my eyes.

My fingers were freshly washed and immaculate.

‘I’m fine. Maybe.’

Then… Should I test the mind?

What can it command me to do?

He thought for a moment.

Such an unrealistic ability…

That’s what made the manga so believable.

Most of the protagonists with hypnotic apples would command their opponents to ‘love’ them-.

‘Ha-yul.’

Then you try that.

‘I love you.’

I imagine myself walking up to Ha-yul and embracing her.

She grabs me by the back of the neck and pulls me close and whispers in my ear again, her voice low.

I love you too.

‘…Hmm.’

That’s weird.

My heart is pounding in my chest at this point, or your face is heating up.

You’re feeling it, aren’t you?

That’s what the hypnotised heroine did in the manga.

…Why don’t I feel anything?

There was a glimmer of hope.

‘Okay, next.’

I can’t help it.

I decided to imagine something else.

A dishevelled school uniform.

Ha-yul lying face down on the bed, blindfolded.

Hands tied tightly around a red belt.

She’ll never be able to untie them on her own.

Her fingers are twitching.

Face buried in the bed, her arse raised high in the air.

Her body shudders and trembles, the bedspread gets wet where her face touches it.

I put my mouth close to her ear, and then…

‘Hah, this is it…’

Her stomach clenches and tightens.

I feel ecstatic just imagining it.

It’s the right answer.

‘It’s no different than usual…’

I’m starting to come to a conclusion.

It’s still early, but if you’re only getting excited about this…

‘Hypnosis. You haven’t walked yet, have you?’

The corners of my mouth twisted up of their own accord.

He must be looking very scared right now.

Hypnosis, love.

‘Hmph, silly.’

I tried a few more experiments.

No change in personality or body. I was convinced.

‘Okay, it’s only the first day.

He must have hypnotised me already.

It’s not like I’m some kind of weirdo.

Ha-yul felt special from day one, she was in my head and getting bigger and bigger.

‘Whoa… Ah.’

I relaxed and felt my damp bottom.

I need another shower. It’s bad for my skin.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!

‘Off…!’

Five minutes…

Hmph…

Tsk-!

The mouth only screamed for five minutes,
but the body was honest.

The unnecessarily diligent body quickly diverted the blood to the whole body.

Well, roughly speaking, I couldn’t sleep again.

I got up and got ready for school.

I had a good feeling about today.

Like yesterday, I fought the shower and won the body

Putting back on my fitted underwear and getting into my school uniform! Eh.

…still need tights. Hmmmmm.

What day is it?

The day I’m going to school with Jena!

As I finish getting dressed, a message arrives.

[Are you up? I had some work this morning, so I didn’t get a chance to talk to you ]

[I’ll be there in about five minutes!]

‘Mmm… Go ahead, I’ll be there…’

I hurriedly replied and opened the door.

It’s out!’ ah, what, why are you already…!’

Hit?!

‘I thought it would be a burden if I asked you to come out right away. As soon as I got here, I remembered that I didn’t contact you, hehe…’

Jena is already in front of me!

How could she have such a good heart…

You’ve earned 9 compliment stickers!

By the way, if you collect 10, you’ll be confirmed?

‘Hehe…’

‘Ew, you look so perverted. What’s wrong with you?’

‘Hot! Rice, you’re a pervert! No way…’

Hmph, shall we go now?’ Just kidding.

‘Uh, yeah! We don’t want to be late…!’

‘Hmph. Okay, let’s go.’

So off we went to school.

‘Magpie! Over there!’

‘Huh? Yeah. He looks a bit like you.’

‘Huh…?’

‘It’s black.’

‘Ah, aha… Thanks…?’

Hmph.

I see a magpie in the middle, ‘Hello, sir!’

‘Hello…’
‘Ah, a new student? You’re early. Nice to see you too, Jena. Do your best to study-.’

‘Of course. Of course!’

‘Yes, four…’

As I passed through the school gate, I met a scary teacher who looked like he was three or six hundred years old.

…Am I the only one who’s scared, Jena?

‘Okay, kids, focus, focus.’

Pretty is the best.

You’re looking at me like this and you’re happy.

I’ve already forgotten about the lesson and

I’m just looking at her face.

Jena.

Let’s try this. Hangshina.

Lucky me.

Ten

Show.

Yes,

I-,

‘Am I pretty?’

‘What, what, what?!’

She turned her head to look at me.

I was so flustered that I screamed.

The classroom went silent in an instant.
It’s chilling.

‘Hah… I really want to stop being a teacher.’

‘Hmph. Self-study today. Hehe.’

‘You come out.’

‘Oh, come on! Howie was talking!’

‘Howie, come out too.’

‘Yeah…’

Me, that snitch…!

I stood up and headed forwards.

In front of the classroom table, I….

‘Are you working so hard in class just to please me?’

‘No, if I grind hard and make you understand.’

‘Then who do I like? Obviously you!’

‘Why? Because I get good grades on my exams!’

‘What did I study for, to go to Harvard or the University of Tokyo?’

‘This is all to wish you well, huh?’

You’ve come face to face with the world’s greatest arsehole.

Alas, warrior. There’s a demon here.

Please slay him, black and black…

I bowed my head, and with an apologetic expression, I submitted myself to the demon’s cries.

Halfway through, I heard something I couldn’t stand…

‘Look at the girl next to you. A child.
Earl.

He’s nice, he studies well, and-’ Mana.

‘She’s flirting with him… Yikes… She doesn’t know anything.’

Of course, I didn’t say it out loud.

The moment I say a word,

I would be in ‘counselling’ with this teacher for the rest of the day.

The girl next to me, who was well aware of this fact, was just as silent as I was.

The class is suspended.

A question mark appeared in Jenna’s mind.

‘…Are you even thinking about using hypnosis?

She had her doubts.

A girl who breaks down and stops talking as soon as she makes eye contact.

How is she going to use a hypnosis app on me?

‘Ha… I’ll just go to sleep and not do anything weird.’

Suddenly, Jena regrets the night before.
