Translator: Soafp “I’m heading out.” “Take care.” Today was finally the long-awaited day of the summer festival. For several days, the town had been filled with festive energy, and I had truly been waiting for this day to come. Well, saying I was looking forward to the festival itself was just a pretext. The real reason was seeing the three of them in their yukata. “Our meeting point is in front of the station, right?” We would meet at the station and then enjoy the festival freely. Unable to hide my excitement, I walked while checking the things I had prepared. “Battery is fully charged. I’m good to go.” The battery was perfectly fine, so there was no worry about it dying midway. “...But I’m still not sure what to do.” Naturally, I genuinely wanted to enjoy the festival with the three of them, so I felt my heart would be satisfied even without doing “that.” As I approached the meeting place, the crowd increased. Perhaps people from outside the prefecture had come as well. “So many people... And...” There were many women with body types I liked, tempting me to look around. But I proudly thought that Mari and the others were still the best. Come to think of it, my sister had said she would enjoy the festival with her friends...

Translator: Soafp He had practiced the angle at which he raised the corners of his mouth in front of a mirror. When talking about his failures, he lowered his eyes slightly. When talking about how he had rebuilt his life, he looked the other person straight in the eye. Even the way he switched between an expression of regret for the past and one full of hope for the future had come naturally after giving so many lectures. “Even if you can’t change the past, people can change.” As he read the script in the back seat, the manager in the passenger seat nodded with satisfaction. “That line really hits because it’s coming from you, Renji.” “Thank you.” “The students at this school are all close to your age. I think they’ll react even more than usual.” “Even someone like me, who once went down the wrong path, can start over. If even one student understands that, I’ll be happy.” “You’ve really become someone impressive.” Renji smiled shyly. To the public, Renji Kuze was a composed young man who seemed older than eighteen, didn’t run from his past, and spoke about his delinquency in his own words. He didn’t hide that, during middle school, he had repeatedly committed extortion and assault and had been sent to a juvenile detention center. If anything, that...

Translator: Soafp Konoe-san’s sudden visit was a bit unexpected. Being seen before I had even changed clothes was embarrassing. I tried to immediately flee to my room, but my sister beckoned me to come over. “G-Good morning, Konoe-san.” “Yeah. Good morning. There’s something in your eye. Did you just wake up?” “...!” I rubbed my eyes vigorously and somehow played it off. Not only Konoe-san, but even my sister laughed at that, leaving me feeling utterly small. Even so, I was curious why Konoe-san was here in the first place. “Um... Why are you here, Konoe-san?” “Ah, about that. Hey, you. Why didn’t you say anything? About helping that old man over there.” “Eh? Ah, that?” From this exchange, I could more or less guess. She had already thanked me at her home, so I hadn’t wanted her to make too much of it. But still, that incident must have been very significant for her. “You said you didn’t need any more thanks, but it was such a big event that I wanted to tell your family about it properly. Once again, thank you for helping my grandfather back then.” “N-No, no! Please lift your head!!” I hurriedly said that to Konoe-san. Somehow... I had already been allowed to do things with her that couldn’t be spoken aloud, so I couldn’t simply accept...

Translator: Soafp This summer vacation, I truly felt I was spending incredibly fulfilling days. I had spent deeply meaningful time with wonderful women: Mari, Emu, Saika, Manaka, Fiana, and Konoe-san. Well, basically, doing deep things was only possible while they were hypnotized. In their normal states, there was little I could do with them... Even so, for me, it was a huge change. “...So, what is this?” Now, on a certain day while I was enjoying those wonderful days, I found myself standing in a pitch-black space where nothing was visible. I realized in an instant that this was a dream. “This is kinda scary... Wake up, me.” Being left alone in complete darkness wasn’t a pleasant feeling. I stayed still in that unchanging darkness, but then a small change occurred at my feet. “?” Suddenly, something wriggling appeared at my feet. It was like pink threads... Though saying this might be odd, they swayed like sea anemones, which was slightly creepy. “...Ugh.” Just as I thought, What is this? It’s creepy, the threads suddenly rushed at me as though they had locked onto me... Well, “rushed” might be a bit of an exaggeration. “What the heck...” Countless pink threads entwined around my body and refused to let go, as if declaring they would never release me. Objectively speaking, I felt as though...

Translator: Soafp The emergency press conference held by Akihiko Sagisawa, a prefectural assembly member, began at 4:00 p.m. It was the same venue as the press conference three years earlier. Akihiko appeared on stage in a black suit, bowed with a grave expression, and kept his head lowered for nearly ten seconds amid a storm of camera flashes. “Last night, my son Reo was killed by an unidentified person.” His voice trembled as he read from the prepared statement. No one could tell whether the trembling came from grief over losing his son or from fear of losing his position. “As his father, I deeply apologize for the trouble my son caused everyone while he was alive. However, the statements currently spreading online were forced from him under extreme duress, when his life was threatened.” Murmurs spread among the reporters. “Nor can we rule out that the document released by the murderer calling himself El was fabricated. My son, too, was a victim—robbed of his life by baseless slander and brutal violence.” The words were almost identical to what he had said three years earlier. My son, too, is a victim suffering from baseless slander. Those had been Akihiko’s words the day before Sakura Minase took her own life. A reporter in the front row raised a hand. “The documents show that two...

Translator: Soafp “...Hey, Manaka.” “What is it?” Right now, I was feeling something indescribable. “Indescribable” didn’t mean anything bad. It was more like being slightly unsure what to do. “Kai-kun’s hands are warm. I like them. You can touch me more, you know?” “...I see.” I had immediately activated the hypnosis app for both of them, and now I was thoroughly enjoying Fiana’s body... while Manaka watched intently. Doing both at once was tempting, but I also felt the urge to focus on one person and tease her. “Is it really okay no matter what I do to Fiana?” “Yes. I trust you, Kai-kun.” “...I see.” Well, I already knew that both of them would accept whatever I did. Even so, I couldn’t help asking repeatedly. After all, they were lovers. But if they accepted it like this, there was no point in me being overly conscious about it... Alright, from now on, I would stop asking. “You really don’t need to hold back, you know? Fiana being teased by you like this means you’ll do the same to me, right? You’re not going to say something like, ‘I’ll do it only to Fiana and not to you’... are you?” “O-Of course not!” What was this? I felt an indescribable pressure in the latter half of Manaka’s words... “Hehe, Manaka is jealous. Because...

Translator: Soafp “Did something happen to you?” “...No, nothing.” Several days had passed since I did it with Konoe-san, and I had been spending my days in a restless state. It was obvious even at home. My sister pointed out that I was acting differently from usual. “Are you really okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine. Seriously, I’m fine.” “...Really?” My sister looked worried but eventually returned to her room. If I told her that I had hypnotized the older woman from the neighborhood and gone all the way with her, I would surely be kicked out of this house. Well, even before that, simply bringing up the topic of hypnosis would probably make her think I was weird. “...Haa.” It should have been a happy memory for me. Losing my virginity was, in a sense, one of my dreams. Even so... No matter how much Konoe-san had tempted me like that, the fact remained that I had hypnotized her. “Konoe-san wasn’t a virgin, apparently... But actually going all the way with a hypnotized woman makes me feel overwhelmingly guilty.” I slapped my cheeks. This mindset was disqualifying for the owner of a hypnosis app. I had resolved to do whatever I wanted with this hypnosis app... Then there was no need to feel guilty about anything I did. Yes, it was Konoe-san’s fault for...

Translator: Soafp Seven minutes after the mirror prison vanished, a post appeared on Reo’s official account. “I admit to being involved in creating and spreading false information about Sakura Minase and leaking her personal details.” Attached was the video of Reo’s confession moments before his death. His desperate pleas and admission of guilt, along with his statement that his father’s secretary had disposed of the phone, were copied countless times. Before Reo’s associates could ask the platform to take it down, the video had crossed borders and language barriers and was spreading around the world. But if all they had was a confession from a dead man, there was still room to deny it. A false confession forced out of him under extreme duress. The footage itself was a fake made by El. Reo’s defenders began making those claims. Then a second post appeared, leaving no room for escape. Attached was a 187-page electronic document. Its title was Transaction Records Related to the Murder of Sakura Minase. The first page contained the instructions Reo had sent to other streamers: “Destroy Sakura completely.”“Make her regret turning me down.”“Make the fake images look more realistic.”“Don’t use my name. I’ll pay.” Below each message were its timestamp, connection source, and device ID, along with records of payments made immediately afterward. A university student who had edited...

Translator: Soafp “Here you go.” “Ah, thank you...” I looked at the tea offered in front of me. For some reason, I was currently in the apartment of Konoe-san, the attractive older woman who lived nearby. “Is there anything else you’d like?” “Um... No, nothing in particular.” “Really? I have lots of snacks, so don’t hesitate to ask.” “Ah, yes.” Now, why was Konoe-san treating me so kindly...? The reason traced back several days. On my way home after doing something very enjoyable with Emu, I had reunited with the old man from the accident. It turned out he was Konoe-san’s grandfather. I had simply done the obvious thing by helping someone, and I thought that was the end of it. I never expected this to create a connection with Konoe-san. “Masaki-kun, is it? I’m truly grateful.” As she expressed her thanks, she also explained various things to me while standing beside her grandfather. The old man had suffered an accident, but if he had arrived at the hospital even a little later, his episode might have worsened. Hearing that, I felt like praising myself for making a fine play in that moment. “I was truly relieved. So please, let me thank you properly.” No, there’s no need for thanks... Even though I said that, the reason I was here now was simple....

Translator: Soafp When three women gather, anything can happen. That saying was embodied in a scene I witnessed on a certain day during summer vacation. Even so, the place was Mari’s house. With Kai absent, the three girls who had gathered there were talking about one thing—him. “Hey, you two... Um, did you do it?” “I did.” “Yes!” “Do it.” If a third party were present, they would surely want to ask what that meant. Though she had asked the question herself, seeing the two nod made Mari feel not shock, but a strangely happy smile. “I see. So both of you were able to connect with Kai-kun in the truest sense.” “But Mari, that’s unfair.” “Yes! You went ahead of us!” “S-Sorry?” By now, the meaning of the earlier conversation should be clear. In other words, they were discussing whether they had truly connected with Kai. For Kai, it was an event that remained outside his memory. But for the three of them, the details of their intimacy were vividly etched into their memories. At the same time, they had also learned the secret Kai had been hiding. “I never imagined there was something like a hypnosis app.” At Emu’s words, the other two nodded. The hypnosis app Kai used was not widely known in society. Even for the girls, who had...

Translator: Soafp Himura noticed something was wrong inside the restaurant and moved faster than the other customers. As soon as he saw the cube outside the window, he pulled out his phone and called the prefectural police. “This is Himura from the First Investigative Division. An unidentified structure has appeared in the parking lot of the Mimosa family restaurant on the highway. One man is being held inside. The target is Reo Sagisawa. Send the local precinct and riot police immediately. Request support from the fire department and an ambulance as well!” Before he had even finished the call, Himura ran outside. Nao called after him, but he didn’t turn around. Reo’s shoulder shifted out of place, and blood spurted from it. Himura rushed up to the cube and punched its outer wall. A dull impact traveled up his arm. Though it looked like a mirror, it was far harder than steel. He punched it a second time, then a third, but couldn’t leave so much as a scratch. His own knuckles began to bleed, and his bones groaned. “Sagisawa, can you hear me?” “Hey, Himura! Help me! You’re the police, aren’t you?!” “I’ve called for backup! Get away from the wall!” The figure of black smoke turned toward Himura. “Moving away from the wall won’t help. As long as he’s inside this...

Translator: Soafp “Thank you for waiting. Please come this way.” “Thank you.” I had felt something off about my phone’s battery draining on its own, but I hadn’t thought much of it. Still, if something went wrong while the hypnosis app was active, it would be bad. After thinking it over, I ended up visiting a phone shop. “I’ve checked everything thoroughly. There are no signs of malfunction, and nothing seems to be deteriorating. For now, you can rest assured.” “I see.” Then I could probably feel at ease. Even so, the battery had definitely decreased while I was with Mari and Saika, so something was certainly happening... But actually bringing it to the shop and being told this left me with no choice. “Thank you very much.” Stepping outside the phone shop, intense heat assaulted me. With mid-August approaching, the rising temperature was annoying, but this was proof of summer. I just had to endure it until the cooler season arrived. “...Hm? Is that...?” Wandering aimlessly through town with nothing particular to do, I spotted a familiar back. “Emu.” Yes, the person walking in front of me was Emu. She was dressed in a cool-looking dress and seemed to be walking without a destination. Seeing her like that, I gave a quiet, creepy laugh. I had declared that Emu would be next,...

Translator: Soafp “Kai-kun?” “...Yeah.” I couldn’t meet Saika’s eyes as she tilted her head in front of me. I had hypnotized Saika and done whatever I wanted with her as usual, but afterward, I must have gotten tired and fallen asleep. (...I can’t believe I had a dream like that—) A dream. I had apparently seen it vaguely. I came to Saika’s room, with her truly beside me... and then I had an incredibly vivid dream of doing intense things with her. It was a solid dream in which I didn’t let go of protection even in the dream, to the point that I wanted to praise myself. But since she was right beside me, I felt a slight sense of guilt about having such an intense dream. “Are you really okay?” “I’m fine... Seriously, I’m fine!” Well, no matter how much of a dream it was, I had seen countless dreams like that with the girls. But usually, when having erotic dreams, a certain important part becomes active even in the real world... She didn’t see that embarrassing part, right? “That’s good, then.” “...Yeah.” Judging from Saika’s expression, it seemed fine. I was already used to her hypnotized state. She would touch and tease me on her own. But with a girl in her normal state, I would definitely be rejected. Even...

Translator: Soafp “Your order is confirmed.” As Inori lifted his finger from the purchase button, the black display on the screen quietly changed. —Transaction started. It was a message visible to only two of the millions of people using Elcari: the seller, Yumiko Minase, and the buyer, El. Reo Sagisawa had no idea his life had just been bought for thirteen yen. “So, I’m not asking about an order. I’m asking if I can film you.” Reo smiled familiarly, keeping the phone he was using for his livestream pointed at Inori. Comments continued to stream across the screen in real time. That waiter’s face is unreal.I thought he was a girl.Forget Reo—get a closer shot of that guy.Where’s this place? I want to meet him.Lmao, he’s going to go way more viral than Reo. The viewers who had been fawning over Reo moments ago had already found a new toy. Perhaps he didn’t like having the attention stolen from him; his smile grew stiffer by the second. Inori blocked the lens with the menu. “There are other customers here. As I said before, please stop filming.” “Huh?” “We don’t allow customers or staff to be filmed without their permission.” “Come on, you don’t know who I am? I’ve got a million subscribers.” “The only streamer I know is Johnny ◯mari.” “What did you...

Translator: Soafp “Welcome, Kai-kun.” “...Hey.” I had arrived at the house where Saika was currently living with her grandparents. The last time I came here, it was because they had asked me to look after Saika, whose heart had been in pieces. (...Still the same enormous volume.) Because she was wearing only short sleeves, the lines of her body were unmistakably visible. Even so, I was already intimately involved with Saika. I had not only touched her body but had her do many things for me as well, so something like this didn’t make me blush. “Come in.” “Sure.” I wasn’t blushing, but my heart was naturally pounding. I had been restraining myself for several days in anticipation of today. I wanted to go to her room as soon as possible and enjoy myself to my heart’s content. But first, it seemed I needed to speak with her grandparents. Saika led me to the living room on the first floor, where her grandparents were waiting. “Hello, Masaki-kun. It’s been a while since that time.” “It’s been a while.” I bowed my head and sat facing the two of them. Saika sat down right beside me, our shoulders touching closely. I was genuinely nervous. Objectively speaking, the situation probably looked exactly like parents offering their daughter to a prospective suitor. “Thank you for coming...

Translator: Soafp “What... What is this!?” I was running down a dark road. Sensing something approaching from behind, I kept running desperately to avoid being caught. “It’s your fault... Because of you, I—!!” “You criminal!! If you didn’t exist, we—!!” “Don’t run!! You coward!!” I didn’t recognize the women chasing me from behind, yet they were hurling insults at me. I wanted to complain, but somehow, my body only knew how to move in ways that fled from them. “...Damn it, what the hell is this!?” When I glanced back, their expressions were terrifying. They looked at me with eyes filled with overwhelming hatred—as though they despised my very existence. That intense hatred frightened me so much that my body trembled. After running for a long time, I suddenly found a place to hide. I instantly slipped inside and listened as their footsteps gradually faded away. Then I let out a sigh. “...I’m saved.” Being chased for something I didn’t even remember would be a nightmare. I didn’t mind being chased by women, but being pursued with that much hatred was something I could do without. “Anyway, I should get out of here as soon as—” “Where do you think you’re going?” “!?” A hand gripped my shoulder tightly. When I turned around, a single woman stood there. She was staring at me...

Translator: Soafp The sound of the teacher rapping on the blackboard brought Inori’s attention back to the present. “Amou. Are you listening?” “Yes. Page 116. V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, S = 8\pi r^2.” He answered the question the teacher had been about to ask. A few students chuckled. But when Inori swept his gaze across the room, their laughter ebbed away like a receding wave. Outside the window, the winter sky was pale and overcast. Inori looked at his hands. The bones broken and the skin torn that night had been completely rebuilt. If he wished, he could create a star in his palm—or shatter the Earth to pieces. But he couldn’t remake the past. The summer when Inori Amou had received pieces of omelet from Aoi no longer existed anywhere. Across the room, Aoi kept glancing at his face, then looking away. Ichinose was supposed to be in a third-year classroom, yet between lessons he kept peering in from the hallway. Inori didn’t speak to either of them. Before passing judgment, he had to know the crime. The god was powerful, but not omniscient. After school, Inori headed to Mimosa, a family restaurant along a suburban highway. The restaurant’s owner, Izumi Nao, was the woman who had found Inori outside a convenience store the morning after he returned from the dead. When...

Translator: Soafp Third-year high school student Makoto Ichinose had trusted the sea. The sea at night asked no questions. No matter how ugly the secret, it simply swallowed it in silence. And he had even tied two weights stolen from a construction site to Inori Amou’s body. The night Ichinose lured Inori—his underclassman and childhood friend of Aoi Yuki—into a trap, isolating him from Aoi, the other students, and his own family so that Ichinose could have Aoi for himself, Inori had been dragged down into the sea and killed. His skull was crushed. His breathing and pulse had stopped. The weighted body had vanished into the black depths. In exchange, Aoi had clung to Ichinose, and he had believed, without a doubt, that he had “won.” That night should have been the end of Inori. But more than half a year after Inori Amou had disappeared from school and home, on the first Monday of the third term, Ichinose turned his attention to the crowd gathered in front of the school gates—and saw him. The music announcing the start of the school day was playing, yet dozens of students had stopped in their tracks. The girls in particular stood staring at a boy, oblivious to the fact that they were blocking the way. Even a female teacher responsible for student discipline had...

Translator: Soafp “...Good job?” “Yeah...” Though I exaggerated by saying it was almost straight down, I managed to survive the extremely steep water slide. As Fiana had told me while we were sliding, I had the sensation of having grabbed her ch*st as hard as I could. Unfortunately, I couldn’t clearly remember the feeling. (Damn... That was a miscalculation on my part.) Lately, you could say I lived simply to enjoy the softness of the girls I had met. Their existence had become inseparable from my life. “...” I watched Fiana playing with her friends with a fond smile. Manaka noticed and turned her gaze toward me. “...Why are you staring at me like that?” “No, I just think you’re as beautiful as ever.” “Oh... Hehe. You’re so good at flattery.” It wasn’t flattery. I truly believed they were beautiful. But even though I couldn’t help saying such overly sweet lines, why had I gotten a nosebleed earlier just from seeing Mari and the others in their swimsuits? ...Right! “I got carried away. I’m heading back, okay?” “Ah... I see. You came here to play with those girls, after all.” As I stood up, Manaka seemed slightly disappointed. Perhaps that emotion only arose because we had become close like this. We had met by chance today, but since each of us had our...

Translator: Soafp “It really is Masaki-kun!” “I never expected to meet you here.” Manaka and Someya approached as they spoke. I hadn’t expected to run into the two of them here. While I was surprised, I was also undeniably aroused by their swimsuit appearances. (Hey, hey! Both of them are wearing the same kind of bikinis as Mari and the others! And Someya’s has even less fabric, doesn’t she!?) Are you sure that outfit is okay? I almost said it aloud. Perhaps it was because of her foreign ancestry, but regardless, they were simply wonderful. Manaka’s swimsuit had cute floral embroidery. Someya’s was red, which was incredibly erotic... Dangerous. I was losing my vocabulary. “...Ah.” Seeing the two of them approaching, I told myself to calm down. It was fine that Manaka and Someya were coming closer. They were already acquaintances, so there was no awkwardness about meeting. However, this was the first time Mari and the others would meet them. (...No, there’s no reason to panic.) Realizing there was nothing to worry about, I slowly turned around. Mari and the others were naturally curious about the two newcomers and stared intently. But before I could say anything, Mari spoke. “So, Kai-kun, what kind of help did you give them?” “Huh?” I was obviously stunned by her question. Afterward, since we were all...

Translator: Soafp I had set a clear goal for myself: taking the university entrance exams. “With your abilities, Aizawa, even a well-known private university should be well within your reach.” My homeroom teacher strongly supported my decision to take the university entrance exams. “Some universities have their own scholarship programs and other systems, so I’ll look into various options for you as well.” A well-known private university... Even if it wasn’t one of those universities with exceptionally high entrance scores, some of them were said to have good employment prospects, which made them quite appealing. And if it were a large university with thousands of students, I might even meet people with values completely different from my own. That could be one of the joys of university life as well. “Sensei... I’m thinking of applying to a highly competitive university.” But that wasn’t why I wanted to go to university. There were financial considerations, for one thing. And, more fundamentally, there was the issue of my academic ability. Those aiming for the top universities had been conscious of the university entrance exams since they entered high school, working hard every single day. Compared to them, there was no denying that I was considerably behind. “If you had been at Kaimei Academy before transferring here, then you probably do have the potential, but...” My...

Translator: Soafp “It’s seriously hot lately.” “I can’t leave my air-conditioned room.” “I ate like three ice creams today because it’s so hot.” I replied to the voices coming from my phone. It was nighttime, and I was enjoying a voice chat with Akira and Shougo using an app installed on my phone. Mostly, the two of them talked while I chimed in occasionally, sometimes interjecting with comments like now... Of course, it wasn’t always like this. Usually, I participated fully and talked a lot. “...Kukuku.” “Didn’t I just hear a weird laugh?” “Kai?” Oops, I accidentally let out a creepy laugh. As my laugh revealed, I had become strange from imagining the big event that was finally happening tomorrow. (Tomorrow, I’ll meet the three of them in their swimsuits... Ah, this is going to be amazing.) I already knew what kind of swimsuit Saika would wear, but Mari and Emu were completely new to me. No matter what swimsuits they wore, I was sure they would look good. But, lewd as it was, I was also excited about going to the pool with them. (More than that, the fun time afterward is what I’m really looking forward to.) Just playing in the pool with the three of them? That was a joke. I strongly wanted to relieve the libido constantly smoldering inside...

Translator: Soafp “Come visit me anytime you want, okay?” “...Yessssssssssss!!” That night, after visiting Mari’s house, I let out a triumphant roar as I read the message she had sent me. Not only had I gone to a girl’s room in my class, but she was now inviting me back! There was no greater happiness! “Mari’s body really is amazing... So soft, smells so good... And when she’s hypnotized, she’s so proactive, so erotic, and she keeps getting better at everything.” A gentle gyaru who even helps me study... Hey, everyone. Gentle gyaru really do exist. I guarantee it. “...Wait, who am I even talking to?” The kind suggestion from Mari made me think immediately about how erotic she was... Well, that was perfectly normal for a boy my age. I even forgot to reply to Mari as I immersed myself in the wonderful memory of her touch. “...But there’s one thing I don’t understand.” Normally, remembering something like this would make me slightly aroused, and I would relieve myself. That was the usual flow. But today, I felt so refreshed that I didn’t want to do anything at all. Of course, I wasn’t completely unaroused. Still, for some reason, I kept thinking that today was fine as it was. “Whatever. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to a week from now.” A week...

Translator: Soafp “...What?” “Kai-kun... Kai-kun.♪” It was an overwhelmingly strange sensation. My head felt hazy. I couldn’t tell what I should be thinking—in fact, everything felt so unimportant that I wondered whether thinking was even necessary. “...Ah, this must be a dream.” A dream. Once I thought that, it suddenly made sense. Such a strange, continuous sensation could not exist in reality. Therefore, I concluded that this had to be a dream. Moreover, the fact that I felt so calm about the scene before me only confirmed it. “...This is incredible, Mari.” “Yeah. It’s incredible for me too... I’ve always, always wanted to do this.♪” Mari was straddling me as I lay down. It was the act I had absolutely refused to do with her. Mari gazed at me with single-minded devotion, seeking more and more. I sat up and embraced her tightly, then looked at her with the same intensity, seeking her in return. “Kai-kun, this feels like a dream, doesn’t it?” “Yeah... I guess. My head is so hazy.” “Yeah. That’s why it’s okay. You don’t need to hold back at all.” “Right. There’s no need to restrain myself, is there?” “None at all.♪ Come on, Kai-kun, look, look. How is this?” “Whoa!?” The intense sensation of being tightly entwined made me utter an embarrassing sound. Honestly, I wished I could...

Translator: Soafp “Ara, are you going somewhere?” “Just to a friend’s house.” With that, I left home. From the moment I woke up, I had been brimming with energy. I practically sprinted toward Mari’s house. But I had made one mistake: it was summer, and even if I tried to walk calmly, moving quickly like this made me sweat. “...I should just walk normally. Fortunately, there’s a breeze. By the time I arrive, it should be fine.” I wasn’t sweating that heavily, so I might have been overthinking it. After that, I repeatedly suppressed my eagerness and forced myself to walk slowly, even though I didn’t want to. “Hmm, around here should be good.” Actually, I wasn’t supposed to go directly to her house. Mari had told me to call her once I was nearby. I called her, and she answered immediately. I told her I would arrive at her house soon. “Okay. I’ll be waiting.” There were no words more exciting than a girl saying she would wait for me. I reached her house and pressed the intercom. From inside, I heard hurried footsteps. The door opened with a click, and Mari appeared in casual clothes. “Welcome, Kai-kun.” Her cute smile and the obvious swellings visible even through her light clothing... Dangerous. Something inside me was about to explode. (...Mari really is...

Translator: Soafp “...What should I do?” “...Dad?” I found my father staring intently at his own reflection in the bathroom mirror. With a toothbrush in his mouth, he wore an unusually serious expression. He was so absorbed in thought that he didn’t even notice me reflected at the edge of the mirror. “...Could it be, Dad?” After meeting the girls through the hypnosis app, I found myself unable to ignore anyone who looked worried. When that person was my own father, I couldn’t simply leave him alone. Helping my adult father with his problems might be difficult, but I still wondered whether there was anything I could do. “Hypnosis!” I placed my father under hypnosis and slowly approached him. “Dad, is something wrong?” “...Yeah.” He turned around and explained what had happened. “I forgot our wedding anniversary. Your mother is upset with me.” “Ah. Good luck.” I immediately released the hypnosis and returned to my room. From my father’s perspective, this was a tragedy caused by his own carelessness. That was something he needed to resolve himself. “So that’s why Mom looked upset when I saw her earlier.” Compared with Mari and the others’ situations, my family’s problems were incredibly peaceful. No matter how many years passed, my parents remained a passionately loving couple. Even when they argued, they made up quickly. There...

Translator: Soafp “Thanks again today, partner.” The “it” on the receiving end did not understand why he always offered thanks. What “it” did was the same as always: faithfully executing the commands it was given, nothing more. “Whoa—! This is still the best!” “Hehe. You’re so cute, really.” He was completely different. He certainly had his shameless sides, but he was not driven solely by the desire to indulge himself. He possessed a kindness that cared about the other person’s heart. He had the courage to ask for help in order to save them. “So, are things okay lately?” He always worried about them, and they, in turn, were touched by his heart and bound to him. It was not a sticky, miserable kind of unhappiness. Not everything could be called entirely right, but “it” liked the space where everyone was smiling. “I’m counting on you again tomorrow, partner! Heaven and earth, fire and water, grant me the comfort of breasts!” In the end, it always came back to that. “It” laughed. If he was the one using it, “it” felt reassured watching him. No—“it” even wanted to lend him more power. He might be another kind of fool, just like the previous user. Even so, the results were completely different. That could only be because of the difference in the user. “Why?...

Translator: Soafp “Kai?” “What is it?” Summer vacation had finally arrived, and from the very first day, I was relaxing in my room. My sister entered, looked down at me sprawled across the floor in a star shape with a mixture of exasperation, and briefly told me what she needed. “Some university friends are coming over today. It might get a little noisy, sorry.” “It’s fine.” “Thanks.” Apparently, my sister’s friends were visiting. They weren’t people I knew, so I didn’t particularly care. I was curious what kind of women my sister’s friends were, but running into them would be troublesome, so I decided to go out instead. “Akira and Shougo are busy, and all my other friends have plans too. What terrible luck.” I sighed, told my sister I was heading out, and left the house. On the way into town, I saw a group of three women. They might have been my sister’s friends. “...One of them was exactly my type. Nice.” Two of them were petite, like my sister. But the third was an extremely well-proportioned woman. She had a black bob with red highlights—an unusual look. A strong, alluring older woman like that wasn’t bad at all. “...Oops. I almost reached for my phone without thinking.” I tapped the back of my hand to stop myself and started walking...

Translator: Soafp “S-Stop it!!” “You can’t move your body, can you? I’m going to train you properly!” “No... Help me!” “Your childhood friend isn’t coming to save you. Kukuku!” That night, for some reason, I was reading a certain manga I had found online. It was just another two-page spread among the countless manga scattered across the internet—an erotic comic centered on hypnosis, and one that happened to suit my tastes quite well. As always, the protagonist was a disgusting, ugly guy. Why did protagonists in these kinds of works always end up like that? It was an eternal mystery. “Still, I really like this artist’s work. They draw incredibly well.” The doujin manga I was reading was hypnosis-themed, but the artist behind it had produced many other works as well, including pure romance stories. The artist had openly stated that they loved drawing scenes where girls fell deeper and deeper under hypnosis, which probably explained why such detailed works were being created. “And this person is a woman, right? That’s amazing.” There were quite a few people online—women included—who had tastes like this. The manga also had a distinctly female perspective, carefully explaining which kinds of stimulation made characters weak and how they reacted. That was one of the artist’s strengths. “Toki Konoe-san... Thank you for everything you’ve done so far, and...

Translator: Soafp Emu had been dragging a male student by the hand with a severe expression, so I became curious and followed them. At first, I wondered whether this was some kind of romantic situation—or perhaps one of those dramatic moments from youth. Apparently, it was nothing like that. “I’ve never seen Emu look like that before.” Even from a distance, it was obvious how stern her expression was. Since Emu was familiar with hypnosis-themed stories and other suggestive material, I briefly wondered whether the boy had somehow discovered one of her secrets. But that did not seem to be the case either. “Alright, I should be able to hear them from here.” Emu had taken the boy to a secluded place where they were unlikely to be seen. Since it was after school, teachers might occasionally pass through, but hardly anyone would be paying attention to the area. It seemed a little careless to me, but for the moment, I focused on listening. “Don’t be ridiculous. You’re doing all this over something so stupid?” “Stupid!? This is your fault! You rejected my confession, then kept clinging to someone like him!” “Oh... I think I understand what started this conversation.” “Clinging to him? At least I enjoy being with Senpai. You have no right to complain about that when you’re only my classmate.”...

Translator: Soafp Several days had passed since I had dealt with the situation before my sister could become a victim. Summer vacation was almost upon us, and through my sister I had received a fair amount of information about Busujima. “Well, that figures.” His attempt to attack my sister was certainly a problem, but from society’s perspective, it was not the most serious issue. The truly serious issue was that he possessed photographs showing the naked bodies of underage girls. “That’s an ordinary crime.” “C**** P******** (CP).” It was a term most people only heard in the news during an otherwise ordinary life, but Busujima had violated that taboo completely. Naturally, he had been expelled and was now in police custody. Yet, predictably, he had no idea why he had gone to the police station so obediently. “I suspected he was that kind of person, but I never imagined he’d go that far... Wait! Does that mean you think I have a childlike body? Hey, Kai! I’m a proper adult woman, right?” I laughed at the fact that that was what upset her. But the moment she saw me snicker, my sister realized what I was thinking. She put me in a hold with enough force to make me wonder where someone so small had found that kind of strength. In the end,...

Translator: Soafp “So, who are they?” “...Ah.” Just as my shopping trip with my sister was coming to an end, I unexpectedly ran into the three girls. Mari and the others walked toward us awkwardly after making eye contact with me, but they only gave us polite smiles and said nothing. Saika, in particular, wore an almost expressionless face, which was a little frightening. I wondered why the three of them were there and decided to ask. “Um... what are you three doing here?” There was no point in standing around in silence. Mari answered first. “We were shopping together. Then we saw you with her...” So they hadn’t been following me. They had simply happened to notice us. They had met my sister before, but apparently had no memory of it—probably because of the hypnosis. “I see. Oh, and these three are—” I briefly explained the situation to my sister. Mari and Saika were my classmates, while Emu was my junior. My sister seemed surprised that I knew such beautiful girls, then laughed as though impressed. “Not bad, Kai.” “Who is she?” “Yeah. I’m curious.” Saika and Emu stepped forward and asked at the same time. There was no reason to keep it a secret, so I was about to introduce my sister. But before I could, she grabbed my arm. “So,...

Translator: Soafp To me—or rather, to anyone—family is probably the closest and most important presence in life. Of course, someone like Saika might come to believe that family is unnecessary after enduring violence and years of mistreatment. But for people living relatively ordinary lives, family should still be precious. “I was interested in her from the moment I saw her. Her childish appearance, so different from her age, was adorable. I wanted to be the one to corrupt that seemingly innocent body.” That was why I could not forgive the man standing before me—the man whose filthy thoughts were directed toward my own family, and especially toward my sister. After sensing something in the way he had been looking at her, I immediately used the hypnosis app. “Come with me. Onee-chan, wait here.” “Okay.” “I’ll wait.” I had my sister sit on a nearby chair, then led the man—whose name, apparently, was Busujima—to a secluded spot. I asked him simply what he thought about my sister. His answer was the same statement I had just heard. It made it painfully clear that he had been entertaining malicious thoughts about her. “...So people like this really do exist. I have no right to call anyone else a piece of trash, but you really are one.” I knew I was being hypocritical by saying that....

Translator: Soafp “The final summer vacation of high school... Man! Spending it buried in studying would be awful.” “Sure, but what choice do we have? Even if we get regular jobs, and especially if we want to attend a reasonably good university, studying is important.” Summer vacation would begin in just a few days. We would have roughly a month of free time, but for those of us graduating from high school this year, it could also be a difficult period in some ways. “Still, because it’s our final summer vacation as high-school students, we should study, but we should also have fun and make some memories.” I said that to Akira and Shougo, who were talking in front of me. Studying with the future in mind was important, but since this was our final year of high school, I wanted to enjoy it too. “...Yeah, I guess you’re right.” “If you’re not aiming for a famous university in a major city, you don’t have to study yourself to death. Studying moderately and playing moderately sounds good.” In the end, having fun was what made us happiest. I still had no clear vision of my future. My family had told me that they would support me whether I chose university or employment. I was grateful for the freedom they gave me. But my...

Translator: Soafp Emu Honma was an M. She understood that fact better than anyone, but it was something she intended to keep to herself. She had no desire to tell anyone else. “...Am I strange?” She had often asked her reflection that question. She did not know why she had developed this preference. Even so, the idea of being dominated by someone excited Emu more than anything. “Go out with me!” “No. Know your place.” Boys who confessed to her continued to appear one after another, unaware of her true nature. Each time, Emu rejected them with harsh words. A part of her had once possessed a destructive, hopeless fantasy: that one of them might become enraged and attack her because of those words. But by now, she knew that way of thinking had been wrong. “Emu! Let’s have lunch.” “Alright.” It was an ordinary lunch break. After finishing her meal with her close friends, Emu suddenly felt her head become hazy and stood up. At first, this strange sensation had confused her. But that was no longer the case. If she followed it, she would be able to meet her Master. “Hey, Emu. You’ve been going somewhere a lot lately. What are you doing?” “I have something to take care of. I’ll be back.” With that, Emu left the classroom. As she...

Translator: Soafp After school, my options were usually limited. I could hang out with my friends, wander around town alone, go home and relax, or spend time being affectionate with the girls I had hypnotized. Lately, I had been spending far more time with the girls than doing anything else. Today was no different. “...This is pretty nice.” “Is it?” “Ah, that tickles, Aika.” In front of me were two beautiful women, Sasaki and Someya, sitting close together and interacting affectionately. I hadn’t originally planned to meet them today. But Sasaki had contacted me and asked whether I wanted to have tea again. After talking at the café we had visited before, I hypnotized them and ended up going to Someya’s home with them. “A beautiful garden of yuri... Seeing beautiful girls being affectionate in real life really is something else.” Both Sasaki and Someya were deeply afraid of men. Their fear had been so prominent that I had forgotten something important: They were a couple who loved each other. I had asked them to show me how they spent time alone together, and now they were demonstrating it right in front of me. “W-Wait, are you really going that far?” “What are you talking about? This is nothing new.” Perhaps because I was watching, Someya seemed slightly embarrassed as she accepted Sasaki’s...

Translator: Soafp “...Damn. I avoided failing, but that was rough.” Akira was clutching his head in front of me. All our tests had been returned today, and the classroom was in complete chaos. Some students were celebrating because their hard work had paid off. Others had studied but received disappointing scores. And some were crying out because their grades were too low and they had been assigned remedial lessons. “What about you, Shougo?” “Hmph. A flawless performance.” “What...?” Shougo was the type who was relatively good at studying, so he looked completely at ease. I had him show me his results, and, as expected, his scores were high enough that failing was nowhere near his concerns. Akira glared at him resentfully, but apparently understood that he couldn’t compete with Shougo academically. He soon let out a sigh. “So? What about you, Mr. Confident?” “I’m glad you asked.” I hadn’t intended to look confident, but apparently that was how I seemed. I proudly held my test papers out in front of them. Shougo looked surprised, while Akira stared at me as though he couldn’t believe it. “Since when were you this good at studying?” “Did you forget? I studied with Mari and Saika.” The two of them suddenly realized something and glared at me. “You lucky bastard!” “Come on!” Akira shouted and slapped me...

Translator: Soafp “Thank you for what you did back then.” “Not at all... Um...” At a café, I sat across from Sasaki and Someya. I had assumed we would part ways immediately afterward, but Sasaki had seen that Someya still hadn’t let go of my hand and suggested that they thank me properly. “No, it’s fine. I’ll be going, then...” I had tried to escape, but in the end, I accepted their invitation. Since they had caught me, leaving halfway through might have made things awkward if we met again. Being approached by beautiful women like them was certainly pleasant, but if I knew I couldn’t pursue anything further, there was no real benefit for me. (They both have such huge chests...) That was all I could think about while drinking my tea. I had already seen both of them undressed, so I knew exactly what their figures were like. Even fully clothed, however, they were still incredibly striking. Sasaki was roughly comparable to Mari, while Someya seemed about the same size as Saika. “Honestly, we had wanted to thank you ever since that day. Fiana and I agreed that we would definitely thank you if we ever met you again.” “Really?” “Yeah. So... thank you.” “...You’re welcome.” Beautiful girls really did look wonderful when they smiled. I had just said I had...

Translator: Soafp “...Me, huh?” The words Emu had spoken continued echoing in my mind. I had encountered the hypnosis app by chance, and I hadn’t used its power because I wanted the girls to thank me. I’d said that countless times already. “...It’s a complicated feeling. Happy, but complicated.” At first, I thought it was enough to let my desires guide me. But now that I knew about the troubles and emotional wounds the girls had been carrying, I wanted to help them, at least a little. There were things I could never do ordinarily. But because I had this app, I could do something to help them. “Hey, partner. Why did you come to me?” I asked the mysterious app that sat boldly on my home screen. Naturally, it was only an app, so it did not answer. “Kai? Can I come in?” “Onee-chan? Sure.” My sister entered the room. She was still short, with a small figure that made it hard to believe she was a university student. But her delicate charm more than made up for that. “Here we go.” With a little hop, my sister jumped onto the bed. That naturally put her beside me, where I had been lying down. But since we were siblings, I didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous. (...I don’t feel any desire to...

Translator: Soafp The standardized tests had always been a nuisance to me. They were supposedly meant to assess our academic abilities during student life, but there probably weren’t many students who actually liked tests. I certainly didn’t. This time, however, was different. (I can see it... I can see the answers! Even I can see them!) That’s right—I could see the answers to the test questions. Not in the sense that I was cheating. I could simply solve the problems with ease. (This one uses the formula Mari taught me while I was admiring her... And this one uses the formula Saika taught me while I was admiring her...) You think that’s an impure way to remember things? Shut up, shut up! I hadn’t forgotten what they taught me. I was solving the problems while properly recalling what I had learned. It was just that remembering the lessons also brought back some rather pleasant memories. “Kukuku...” I avoided glancing around too much, since I didn’t want anyone to suspect me of cheating. Every now and then, I heard students groaning as they struggled with difficult problems. Most of the class seemed to be having a hard time with the test. “Kai-kun, touch me more.” “You’re not satisfied yet, are you?” I continued working steadily, but memories from my study sessions kept flooding back....

Translator: Soafp Somewhere in an apartment building, a woman opened her eyes with a scream. “...Hah... hah...” Breathing heavily, she opened her eyes and let out a groan, pressing a hand over her mouth. It looked as though she might vomit, but she somehow managed to hold it back. “Damn it... that dream again...” What she had seen was a strange dream—and, at the same time, a horrifying memory of something she had actually experienced. It had all begun when a man approached her in the street. “Kukuku. You’ve got a pretty nice body. How about becoming my toy for a while?” Before she could even feel disgust at his greasy, unpleasant voice, some kind of power possessed by the man violated her body. At first, she had not remembered what had been done to her or what she herself had done. But the revulsion her body had unconsciously retained gradually caused her awareness to return. “This power really is the best. You don’t remember anything, do you? You looked down on me the moment you saw me, but now you’re my toy. I can do whatever I want with your body while you remain unaware. You’re even accepting my bodily fluids without knowing it!” Even after her consciousness became clear, she could not resist. She wanted to tell him to stop, but...

Translator: Soafp “And then, when Saika and I were leaving school, we happened to run into Emu-chan. So we thought, why not spend some time together from then on?” “Yes. I was very happy that they invited me.” I listened as they explained how the three of them had ended up together. It was presumptuous of me to think that I was the one thing the three of them had in common, but seeing the three of them getting along like this was still a wonderful sight. When three beautiful girls who could no longer be called strangers to me were sitting together like this… well, there was no other way to describe it than a feast for the eyes. “Putting aside Mari and Emu, I really didn’t expect you to become this close with Honma too.” “That’s right. The three of us were all helped by Kai-kun♪” Hearing her say that made me happy, but even though I had helped them, I had never thought of it as doing them a favor so that they would owe me something. Sure, I was a guy their age, so it wasn’t like there had been absolutely no ulterior motives in the back of my mind. Even so, I was genuinely satisfied just seeing them smile like this. “Well, it’s not like I did nothing...

Translator: Soafp “Man, this is nice.” “Yeah, it is.” “Absolutely fantastic.” Akira, Shougo, and I muttered those words as we watched a group of girls. It was gym class, and the girls in our line of sight were playing volleyball in their gym uniforms. Today’s class was a joint session with the neighboring class, which meant we could observe girls we normally never got to see. “Hey, Agatsuma’s incredible, huh?” “Not saying what part, but... yeah, incredible.” Akira and Shougo were staring at Agatsuma. She was on the same team as Mari, happily chatting with her while they played. Seeing her laugh like that, I felt relieved that she had finally reached a point where she could smile so naturally. Of course, alongside that touching thought, I was also watching her enormous chest sway whenever she moved. Still... it really was good to see. “This is why joint classes are great. There are more people, so naturally there are more students taking breaks too.” I nodded in agreement with Akira. With two classes together, there were more students, which meant more people—boys and girls alike—were sitting out. That was why nobody complained when we spent our break watching the game like this. “...Oh.” While we were watching, the ball came flying toward us, apparently after a particularly bad serve. A girl from the...

Translator: Soafp That day, one student was acting strangely. “Strangely” might not be the most accurate word. More precisely, something about him was off... Actually, no—“strange” was probably exactly right. “...” During an otherwise ordinary class, he—Kai Masaki—was taking his studies seriously. His best friends, Akira and Shougo, kept glancing at him and tilting their heads in confusion. Mari, who had recently grown much closer to Kai, was doing the same. “...I wonder what’s gotten into Kai-kun.” She murmured it under her breath, puzzled by his behavior. And no wonder. Whatever had happened to Kai was continuing in an unmistakably obvious way. “Alright, let’s try this one... Masaki, why don’t you solve it?” “Certainly.” It was mathematics. When the teacher called on him, Kai stood up at once. He walked confidently to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and solved the equation without hesitation. Even the teacher watching him nodded approvingly. “How does this look?” “Excellent. A perfect answer. You only learned this today, yet you solved it wonderfully.” “Not at all. That is only thanks to your teaching. Meeting such a wonderful educator as yourself has been the greatest happiness of my life.” “...Masaki... you...” Moved, the teacher embraced Kai. Kai’s words had struck a chord in him as an educator, and he seemed genuinely grateful to have chosen this...

Translator: Soafp That was the first time she felt a distinctly clear sense of consciousness. “...Ah... Kai-kun?” When she suddenly came to, she was giving Kai a lap pillow. Seeing him relax peacefully on her lap, wearing such a content expression, Mari felt less confusion or surprise than simple, pure happiness. “...Hehe, you’re cute. Hey, Kai-kun—does my lap pillow feel nice?” It was a question that sounded as though she understood everything. To avoid misunderstandings, however, she did not clearly remember or comprehend what had happened until just moments ago. She had merely spent that time in a hazy, floating state, obeying Kai’s commands and letting him do as he pleased. “...I don’t understand. But this feeling that matches my vague memories... Hey, Kai-kun. The things you and I did in my dreams—were they really not dreams? When you leaned on me and sought comfort from me... that wasn’t a lie, was it?” Mari gave a small, self-conscious laugh at what she was saying, but she never stopped stroking Kai’s hair. “Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm.♪” Wanting him to sleep as soundly as possible, Mari hummed a tune. Kai’s lips twitched slightly, as though her humming had reached him. That made Mari happier still, and she slowly reflected on everything that had happened up to now. “How have things been lately? Nothing happen?” There was a...

Translator: Soafp Mari gripped my hand tightly, and I was utterly confused by how obviously strange she was acting. I had started wondering whether there might be something more to the hypnosis app. Since I wasn’t really in the mood today, I told her that we would skip it this time... But Mari’s demeanor completely changed. She looked like an abandoned puppy. “...” No, calling her a puppy would at least make it sound cute. Her eyes were fixed solely on me. It felt as though, not just in this moment but in the entire world, nobody besides me existed for her. As though I was the only person she could rely on... Maybe I was just being self-conscious, but that was the overwhelming thing I felt in her gaze. “Mari... um, what’s wrong?” She was under my hypnosis, so she should answer anything I asked. “I don’t want this... Hey, why? Why aren’t we doing anything? Are you tired of me? Is there something wrong with me? What don’t you like? Tell me what I should change—I’ll change everything I can... Please... please, please, please, please?” “Th-That’s scary...” Honestly, there was no denying how serious and unsettling the atmosphere had become. Still, considering that she was hypnotized and that I held absolute authority over her in that state, I had enough composure...

Translator: Soafp “Kai, how are you feel—” The door flew open, and my sister appeared. Was this supposed to be punishment for getting carried away after obtaining the hypnosis app? Don’t underestimate me. I wasn’t giving up yet. I wasn’t dead yet! “To hell with it!” I instantly grabbed my phone and switched the target in the hypnosis app. Whenever I used it on someone else, I had to release the current targets first. What happened next was, in a sense, a gamble for me too. To hypnotize my sister, I first removed the hypnosis affecting Mari and the others. As expected, confused voices immediately slipped out. “...Huh?” “What...?” “Senpai...” Then, without delay, I selected all four of them as targets and placed them under hypnosis again. The danger had lasted only an instant. Now, all four of them had become inhabitants of a world under my control. I couldn’t help letting out a sigh. Even someone as scummy as me didn’t want his blood-related sister to see him in a situation like that. “Onee-chan, go back to your room.” “Okay.” Just as I ordered, my sister left the room. “...She came because she was worried about my health, too. This is really making my conscience hurt.” She was kind like that—that was why I genuinely loved my sister. Of course, this was...

Translator: Soafp “...Oh, shit.” One morning, I muttered those words with a foggy head. Ever since I woke up, my body had felt strangely heavy. Thinking it might be something, I took my temperature—and, sure enough, it was an ordinary cold. I measured it again, thinking I might have misread it, but the number only changed slightly. There was no denying it, so I ended up taking the day off school. “Make sure you rest properly, okay? Seriously. You’re sturdy, so I’m sure your fever will go down soon. Once you feel better, you can go out or play games if you want. But while you’re feeling rough, be patient.” My sister gave me those kind words, and Mom and Dad also made sure to tell me to rest. “Yeah, I really do feel awful... but my lower half is doing just fine.” My other self was pitching a tent big enough to fit ten people on a camping trip. Apparently, even a cold couldn’t suppress my sex drive. If nothing had changed from before, it probably wouldn’t have been this bad. But thanks to the hypnosis app, I now knew exactly what Mari and the others’ bodies felt like. Just remembering it—not merely imagining it—was enough to get me incredibly worked up. “...Man, this sucks. I wanna see Mari, Honma, and Agatsuma....

Translator: Soafp “…Ahh, this is seriously the best.” Being sandwiched between two beautiful girls like this was truly a supreme moment. Yesterday’s feeling of unfinished business had already disappeared. I hugged Agatsuma, who was quietly sitting in my arms. Every so often, I had her change positions so I could bury my face in her chest or smell her hair, doing whatever I wanted. “Hugging Agatsuma like this is great, and being hugged by Mari is great too.” That’s right—Mari was hugging me from behind as well. “Does it feel good?” “Yeah. It’s the best.” “I’m happy.” I was the happy one. When I turned around, Mari leaned in as if she had been waiting for it and kissed me. It caught me by surprise, but I had no resistance to kissing her while she was hypnotized. “…Heh… hehehe.” This was bad. An incredibly creepy laugh kept slipping out. Using the delayed hypnosis state I had started calling “scheduled hypnosis,” I summoned the two of them here like usual. Naturally, I had made them do all kinds of things. “You two don’t need to fully undress. Just open up your shirts.” “Good. Now come up behind me and press your ch*sts around my face.” “All right, then have both of you hold me between them like that!” Just remembering it was exciting—and also...

Translator: Soafp “Hey, food’s here.” “…Just leave it there, damn it.” It was somewhere inside a prison. In a solitary cell occupied by only one man, a meal had been quietly placed down. The man looked at it with a sulky expression. Still, since he was in prison, perhaps a bad attitude like that was nothing unusual; the guard simply turned around and walked away. “…Why… why is this happening to me…!?” The man muttered as he bit into a plain piece of bread. “Wasn’t the hypnosis… wasn’t that app supposed to be perfect!?” The words “hypnosis” and “app” coming out of his mouth were extremely relevant. The reason he was in prison was simple: he had been arrested for sexually assaulting multiple women. He believed that he would never be caught. No matter how horrible the things he did were, he thought nobody would ever find out. But now, the result of that betrayal was his arrest. “It was going well at first… So why did they get their memories back!?” The hypnosis app had somehow appeared on the man’s phone. Using its power, he ran wild according to his desires. When he spoke to women normally, they gave him unpleasant looks. But once he put them under hypnosis, they became obedient and he believed he could do anything he wanted to...

Translator: Soafp “Stop…” “I’m scared… Don’t touch me…” “…” My hands were still resting on both of their chests, but even though they were under hypnosis, seeing the two of them sobbing and shedding tears made me lose any desire to torment them further. Their reaction was entirely different from Mari, Honma, and Agatsuma. I removed my hands. “…Again. Is it happening again, God?” God, you really are the worst, I cursed internally. Sasaki and Someya were expressionless under hypnosis, yet tears streamed down their faces as they choked back sobs. It felt as though they were not afraid specifically of me, but of men themselves. “What happened?” Honestly, I no longer wanted to touch them. Well, I was still looking at their fresh, naked bodies, but forgive that much for the sake of a scumbag like me. Sasaki was the one who answered my question. “Two years ago, we were nearly assaulted.” “…Whoa.” A rather heavy subject had come up—coming from me, that was saying something. Perhaps remembering it made Someya’s shoulders shake. Sensing that unconsciously, Sasaki tightly took her hand. Even in a hypnotized state, the strength of their bond and love for each other was clear. It made me truly understand once again why people said a man had no right to insert himself between a yuri couple. “The people...

Translator: Soafp The day after I decided to target the two beautiful girls from a girls’ high school whose names I did not even know… It had been too late to make a move that same day, so I had given up. But the next time I saw them, I would definitely enjoy both of their bodies. “…Well, assuming I can even find them again.” That was the problem. I had only spotted them by chance in town yesterday. I did not know their names, where they lived, or anything else that could help me search for them. All I knew was which girls’ school they attended. I had selected them as targets, but whether I could actually encounter them again was another matter. “Maybe I’m not as interested in girls’ bodies now because I spend time with Mari and the others? No, no, there’s no way that’s true.” Maybe I was satisfied with my current situation, which meant that although I wanted new stimulation, I did not crave it quite that desperately. Still, the er*s inside me had locked onto those two girls. There was no question that I still wanted stimulation. I would definitely make it happen! “Hey, Kai, want to go to the bathroom?” “I’m good. I’m going to buy a drink from the vending machine.” I told Akira that...

Translator: Soafp “Looks like another brave hero has fallen today.” “A tragic loss… amen.” “Nobody died.” I replied to Akira and Shogo while eating lunch. Honma’s confession rejections had become something of a regular attraction by now. It seemed another boy had confessed to her today—and, as always, nobody had succeeded. What made it worse was that he was from our class. At that moment, he was surrounded by his friends, being comforted. “Damn it… I got to talk to her a little the other day, so I thought I had a chance… I really thought I had a chanceee!!” “Don’t think you have a chance just because you talked to her…” “Still, even someone with a good-looking face like yours gets rejected by Honma.” “Isn’t she getting a little full of herself lately?” “Right?” Oops. This might be turning into an unpleasant situation. Sure, because she was so popular, maybe people thought she was arrogant. It was not exactly that “the nail that sticks out gets hammered down,” but it was perhaps inevitable that some people would see her that way. “Hey, don’t say bad things about an underclassman just because of that. If someone confesses and she isn’t interested, it’s natural for her not to date them. Honma-san hasn’t done anything wrong by rejecting him, has she?” “Mari… You’re right. I...

Translator: Soafp “What are you doing, you little naked-running brat?” I said that as I approached the two of them. “Ah, Masaki-kun!” “…You!” The moment Aisaka saw me, she moved away from him—Honda, I think his name was—and ran over to my side. I had no idea why Honda was approaching Aisaka now. It was impressive, in a terrible way, that he could still speak to her after what he had done. “I might not be the most reliable guy, but stay behind me.” “…Masaki-kun.” Well, even without relying on hypnosis, a man wanted to show a girl his cool side. With Aisaka behind me, looking strangely moved—or perhaps emotional—I stared back at Honda, who was glaring at me. He was still as handsome as ever, but the shame of having run naked in public was now permanently attached to him. Everything he had built up until then had probably come crashing down. “I’ve heard all kinds of rumors. Sounds like you did something pretty incredible.” Honestly, I could not deny that everything going well lately had gone to my head a little. Maybe my words and expression looked especially provocative, because Honda raised his voice so loudly it was as though he might spit while shouting. “You… Ever since I met you, something has been wrong. Everything went wrong because you had...

Translator: Soafp About two weeks had passed since the situation with Agatsuma. July had arrived, and the temperature was steadily rising. It was getting hot. “Man, it’s hot.” “Yeah, seriously hot.” Akira and Shogo muttered beside me. It was not unbearably hot, but it certainly was warm. Still, there was enough visual enjoyment to make enduring the heat worthwhile. “What a nice sight.” I said that while looking at the girls, who were showing slightly more skin because of the seasonal uniform change. The boys had changed uniforms too, but the girls were now wearing white shirts under their jackets, which made for an excellent view. You could faintly see underwear lines, and when they got wet in the rain, the fabric clung to their skin enough to show its color through it… Damn, I really was a massive pervert. “Well, it’s kind of late to realize that.” After all, I was still using the hypnosis app to play around with Aisaka and the others. I had no right to say anything. That said… there had been a small change in me. For some reason, I had stopped looking at the erotic manga and similar things I used to browse online all the time. (It’s not that I don’t want to look at them. I just don’t feel like looking at them to...

Translator: Soafp “…Phew. I’m glad they were such reasonable grandparents.” The day after my encounter with Agatsuma’s father, I immediately went to visit her grandparents. Even with clear video evidence of what her father had said, I had wondered whether they would believe it. But they turned out to be a far more understanding elderly couple than I expected. “We’ll take action right away. Thank you.” I put them under hypnosis just in case and drew out their true feelings, but they were not lying. They genuinely intended to help Agatsuma. I had told them that she was staying somewhere else for the moment, so I could leave the situation with her father and mother to them for now. “From how they acted, they’ll probably take her in. If they find out he’s been like that since she started high school, then no matter how much he reforms, it’ll probably be… impossible.” I showed them the video of him saying everything, including that he might as well assault his daughter because she had such an attractive body. There was no way they would allow Agatsuma to return to him after that. There would probably be moving arrangements and other complications. Fortunately, Agatsuma’s grandparents lived in the same town, so the sudden environmental change would likely be less overwhelming for her. “…Maybe I’ll go...

Translator: Soafp “Hello. I’m nobody worth introducing myself as… though I suppose that would be inappropriate in this situation. I attend the same school as your daughter.” “…That’s rather sudden, isn’t it?” There was a slight pause before he answered, but his expression did not change. It was late in the evening, so the area was dark. It was rude to say so, but combined with the impression that he might be someone prone to violence, he was a little intimidating. “Sorry to approach you out of nowhere, but you hit your daughter, don’t you?” I started with a light jab. His eyebrow twitched, but he put on a playful smile as he denied it. “What are you talking about all of a sudden? There’s no way I would hit my own daughter. Did that girl tell you?” The instant he said, “Did that girl tell you?” I felt that he had visibly become irritated. Dealing with a person like this was still scary, but the only reason I could stand here so confidently was thanks to the hypnosis app. “Yes, she told me directly. She also showed me the bruises on her body. It seems you’ve made her suffer for quite a long time. What kind of parent does that make you, huh?” My wording came out a little provocative. Maybe possessing...

Translator: Soafp “...All right. For now, I’ve got their names and photos.” I lay on my bed in my room, looking at my phone screen. Displayed on it were photos of Agatsuma, her father, and her mother. I could have simply waited near their house, but knowing what they looked like would make a difference. “Still, abuse, huh? It comes up in the news all the time, but it really is one of society’s problems.” It happened to students and children, of course, but lately you also heard plenty of stories about newborn babies being abused to death. To me, it still felt like something from another world. But Agatsuma, someone close by, was actually being subjected to violence. “…Even if she was hypnotized, seeing a girl cry like that makes me want to do something for her.” How easy would it be if I could simply decide that I didn’t care what happened to her, as long as I could enjoy her body? But apparently, I could not bring myself to be that much of a scumbag. “If Agatsuma’s grandparents really care about her, I think they will take her side. If they don’t, I’ll have to resort to force again—but first, I need to get Agatsuma out of that environment.” I had at least thought through the general plan. I had...

Translator: Soafp “………” “……….” After realizing that every girl I had set my sights on since getting the hypnosis app was dealing with some kind of serious issue, I let out a sigh. Aisaka had a history of self-harm. Honma was an extreme masochist and had been stalked. And now Agatsuma, standing in front of me, was being physically abused by her father. “What about sexual abuse?” “That hasn’t happened yet.” “Yet…?” The way Agatsuma said it made it sound as though there was a chance she could be assaulted in the near future. Well, with a girl as attractive as her around, I could almost imagine someone trying something sexual with her. “Just as I thought—you do have a pretty face.” Agatsuma looked beautiful once her bangs were lifted. But her lifeless expression ruined the entire effect. She was similar to Aisaka in that way, but the darkness in her face was even worse. “Since when?” “…The violence started after I entered high school.” “You’ve endured it all this time?” “Yeah. I don’t have anyone I can rely on.” “…” There it was again. That feeling. I had felt it with Aisaka too: while I spent my days happily with my family and friends, there were people living painful lives as though it were normal. For a child, family was supposed to...

Translator: Soafp About a week had passed since I drove away the stalker who had been following Honma. Since Honma was directly involved, the police apparently questioned her about various things. From what she had learned, it seemed the man had turned himself in just as I had ordered him to. “Um… Apparently, he seemed somewhat strange, but his answers were clear. But after some time had passed, he began denying the allegations… The police officers apparently found it unsettling too.” Even after that incident, I continued seeing Honma. Well, it was a one-sided relationship where I hypnotized her, called her out, and did whatever I wanted. But during those times, just like with Aisaka, I heard various updates about what had been going on in her life. “Good morning, Senpai.” But there was one unexpected development. She had started talking to me whenever she saw me, even when she was not hypnotized. “…Well, in a way, I’m like her benefactor.” I had overlooked the fact that trying to hypnotize a second person while one person was already under hypnosis would cause the first person to return to normal. I never expected Honma to regain her senses and follow me all the way to the police station. In Honma’s eyes, I was an upperclassman who had somehow driven off her stalker. Every time...
