The photo Honma handed me naturally showed both of us.
“…Doesn’t my expression look stiff?”
“Hehe, that’s why I told you not to be so stiff, right?”
Well… I thought I had relaxed at the moment the photo was taken, but looking at it now, my expression turned out quite sad… But I guess it’s not bad if I think of it as a unique shot?
“Oh, I’m sorry~!”
“Eek!?”
Bump! Another maid who was in a hurry collided with Honma.
The impact caused Honma to lose her balance slightly and start falling towards me, so I reflexively caught her.
“Are you okay?”
“Y-Yes… I’m sorry, Senpai.”
There’s no way she could have been hurt from that, but asking if she’s okay is only natural as a gentleman… But this, it hasn’t been noticed, right?
(The position of my hands is not good…)
My left hand supporting her body was accidentally touching her chest. With just a little pressure, my fingers could sink into that soft flesh… But I absolutely would not do such a thing!
I absolutely wouldn’t do it when my partner’s power wasn’t activated!
In the end, Honma never noticed, and we left the shop when our time was up.
“Man, that was amazing!”
“Honestly, I underestimated it… I might come again when I have free time.”
Shogo and Akira also seemed very satisfied, and it was clear they were able to truly relax.
“By the way, wasn’t the person who served Kai incredibly beautiful?”
“I felt like I’d seen her somewhere before… Well, all the maids were gorgeous! No wonder Kai was nervous, unlike us!”
“Shut up!”
Hey, you guys were basically drooling over the maids too, so much you couldn’t even tell it was Honma! Especially you, Shogo!
…Sigh, today’s been full of sighs.
But… I wonder why the conversation flowed so well with Honma.
Honma said she found it strangely easy to talk to me too… In the end, I still don’t know the reason.
(But… heh)
Phew, I have to be careful not to let a creepy smile slip when I let my guard down.
The reason is simple… Sure, I was startled by my interaction with Honma before and gave up on messing with her, even if just for a moment.
That’s how shocked I was by a real masochist, but this interaction with Honma not only eased that shock considerably, it completely awakened my smoldering desire for her!
“Never mind about me now. What are we doing next?”
“Suspicious… Well, let’s see. Um, I think we can call it a day, what do you say?”
Akira and I nodded at Shogo’s words.
“Yeah, let’s end it here.”
“Got it. Man, that was really fun. I guess Shogo’s ideas aren’t so bad once in a while.”
“What do you mean, ‘once in a while’?!”
After laughing together one last time, we dispersed.
Shogo and Akira said they had nowhere else to go, so they headed straight home, but I still had something I wanted to do.
“Well then, it’s just about time for Honma to finish work.”
Actually, I had casually asked when she would be done with work.
She told me without any suspicion, but was that because she said I was easy to talk to?
“Well, I might as well ask her about that too! Here we go!”
I slapped my cheeks to psych myself up and returned to the area near the maid cafe.
After waiting a bit, Honma came out from the back of the shop, so I quickly approached her and activated my partner.
“…Alright.”
And with that, I successfully put Honma in a hypnotic state and moved away from the area.
“Sorry about this, Honma. Even though you said those nice things, the real me is a scoundrel who hypnotizes girls and does whatever he wants.”
“……………”
Hmm… Unlike Aisaka and Agatsuma, she doesn’t react much to my words.
Well, I guess those two were like this at first too, so this is probably normal… Come to think of it, what’s the deal with Aisaka and Agatsuma?
“Hmm… I’ve hypnotized Honma, but given the time, I probably can’t spend too long enjoying myself. I’m sure Honma wouldn’t want her family to worry, just like mine.”
You might ask why I’m doing this in the first place then?
Ha! It’s precisely because I set proper boundaries… This is what you call balance.
“There’s a park nearby, let’s go there.”
“Yes.”
So the two of us arrived at the park, sat down on a bench, and first caught our breath.
“…Phew.”
It’s not like I’m physically tired… but thinking about what I’m about to do makes me feel oddly tired from the tension.
“This feels nostalgic… I wonder if it was like this at first with Aisaka and Agatsuma too.”
Nostalgic… truly nostalgic memories.
“……………”
“Heh, you look so calm even though you’re about to be toyed with, Honma.”
She’s just a puppet staring at me blankly.
However… this is a public place, a park… There are still small children playing.
“…Well, I guess having you take off your clothes will have to wait for another time. I’ll get to fondle those breasts of yours soon enough, even if not as much as those two.”
“……………”
“So, why don’t you hug my arm?”
“Understood.”
Given that there are people around, this is probably the limit.
Even though I say there are people around, the children and their guardians don’t seem to care about us at all, not even glancing our way.
It doesn’t look like any of Honma’s acquaintances are here either, so there shouldn’t be any strange rumors.
“Excuse me.”
“Whoa!?”

I was lost in thought again, so even though I initiated it, I was caught off guard… The soft sensation suddenly enveloping my arm is wonderful, regardless of size.
“Stay like that for a while… Ah, what a soothing moment.”
“Understood.”
Then, as instructed, she maintained that position for a while.
While savoring the sensation like this isn’t bad, I voiced something I wanted to ask.
“Hey Honma, about our interaction earlier… When I told you to lick, didn’t you look happy?”
“Yes… I thought, ‘Ah, I’m being conquered by this person… I want to be.'”
So it was like that after all!
Confirming that my intuition was spot on with such a straightforward answer.
“Then let me ask a bit more. What were the reasons you were working at the maid cafe, about your friend and… what you were hoping for?”
“I was hoping someone would appear who could become my master. Unlike school, all sorts of people visit, you know.”
“So that was the reason after all!”
I gave her a gentle flick on the forehead, not hurting at all.
“…This is the real deal, through and through.”
Well… otherwise, she might go to school without handcuffs, ropes, adult toys, or even underwear… That’s right, isn’t it!
“Honma is…”
“Do you still have something you want to ask? You can ask as much as you want… I have nothing to hide.”
“Hey, why are you so eager? Why is your face red? Come to think of it, you were like this the first time too, weren’t you!?”
“What an angry retort… hehe.”
“……………”
Ah, yeah… She’s not just some Ice Queen.
This girl is truly the Queen of Perverts… I’m in no position to call others perverts, but this girl… I hope she doesn’t get into trouble someday.
Not just at school, but she’s seeking stimulation to satisfy her desires outside too. I hope she doesn’t get involved in some weird crime… If people knew a beautiful girl like Honma had such interests, those creepy old men interested in that kind of stuff would be way too eager.
“Listen, Honma… I don’t mean to criticize your interests, and I think that kind of sexiness isn’t bad, you know? But… if you get caught up with some weird adults like that, it could be troublesome, you know?”
“…Are you worried about me?”
“Well… I mean, you’re pressing your breasts against me, and you’ve shown me your nearly naked state. As a man, I naturally worry about the women who give me such dreamlike moments.”
Because if something happened to Honma, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy these pleasant experiences, right?
“…Senpai, you’re kind. When we’re like this, I feel like I can see the essence of your kindness.”
“Don’t say things similar to what Aisaka and Agatsuma say…”
“Earlier at the store, you said I was easy to talk to. Maybe that’s the reason.”
Hmm… I don’t get it at all.
But right now, Honma can’t lie… so it feels good to be told such things.
“Honma, you get along well with your family, right?”
“Huh? Yes.”
“And you don’t self-harm or experience violence, right?”
“No, I don’t.”
Alright, aside from her troublesome interests, I can’t find any bad points about Honma.
Even if not today, another day I could probably freely enjoy some naughty teasing with her in good conscience.
“You don’t have any troubles, right? Of course not!”
To those confident words… Honma didn’t nod.
“…Honma-san?”
You’re going to stay silent there…?
I peered into her face, but at this point, I felt an endless déjà vu… Wait, could it be…?
My intuition in these situations is too capable in a bad way… I know it.
And so, Honma began to speak.
“Troubles… Actually, I’m experiencing something like stalking.”
“…Fuu…aine.”
I slowly placed my hand, opposite to the one Honma was hugging, on my forehead and looked up at the sky with a sigh.
“Hey, partner, you’re not really manipulating me to meet girls with problems, are you?”
I ask my smartphone in my pocket, just like that time before, but of course, it doesn’t answer my question.
Needless to say, I dropped my shoulders, thinking “not again,” though it didn’t quite reach the point of despair.
