Chapter 6: I Won’t Even Mind Strange Dreams!
“Again… this dream?”
It might be an exaggeration to say it’s been a while, but I’m having that dream I’ve seen before.
“Hehehe! A woman’s body is a good thing, ain’t it? Normally, someone like me wouldn’t even get a second glance, but being able to do what I want is bliss!”
A man is lying on top of a woman.
Even from a distance, it’s a scene where you can easily imagine what they’re doing.
“Geez, why am I being shown this kind of dream?”
If it were in manga or anime, seeing hypnosis stuff would be one thing, but like last time, even if it’s a dream, I don’t want to see this with such realistic visuals… But well, it’s just a dream after all, and if there’s no way to forcibly wake up, I guess there’s no helping it.
“Sigh…”
In a room so dark it’s eerie, I was watching that act as if I’d given up… but then, like that time, those black threads appeared.
Those black threads leak out from the woman and engulf the man… but this time, the man shows resistance as if panicked.
“W-What is this… Stop! Let go!!”
The panicked man tries to move away from the woman but can’t.
As he continued what seemed like futile resistance, an unexpected situation occurs—our eyes meet.
“H-Help me!”
“Huh…”
I never thought my presence would be acknowledged like this.
I’ve said it many times, but this is a dream… I know that, but the desperation in that voice calling out to me was so real that I couldn’t look away.
“Please! You’re the same as me, right!? We’re comrades who’ve been using the hypnosis app to do whatever we want with women! Please, help me!”
“I… I…”
I couldn’t grasp that outstretched hand… In fact, I didn’t even try to reach out.
The man, wrapped in black threads, glares at me… and then disappears.
Moving beside where the man vanished as if crushed is the woman who had been pinned down by him.
“Using hypnosis on women to forcibly violate them… You guys are trash.”
“No, I haven’t reached that level yet…”
When I say that, the woman’s gaze sharpens.
Then the woman reaches out to me… black threads extend from her fingertips and wrap around my body, just like with the previous man.
“Damn it… What the hell!”
Ah, what a worst-case dream, goddammit!
Even though I know it’s a dream, the sensation of threads wrapping around me, the feeling of the woman’s hatred-like emotion seeping into my body… all of it is so disgusting that I just wish to wake up.
“I hope you’re cursed to death, just like that man!”
Just when I thought it was over at the woman’s scream-like voice—suddenly, the black threads that had been wrapped around me were torn off.
By none other than those pink threads.
“This is…”
Unlike the creepy black threads, these are the pink threads I thought were erotic.
Of course, I can’t think they’re erotic in this situation, but reflexively, they give me enough sense of relief to make me think, “Ah, I’m saved.”
“Masaki-kun”
“Are you okay?”
“Are you alright, senpai?”
Along with the pink threads, Aisaka, Agatsuma… and Honma appear, as if shielding me.
The woman controlling the black threads steps back as if frightened, but the pink threads entangle her, taking away her freedom.
“You three… why?”
This dream… what the hell is it, seriously?
The three smile at my dumbfounded mutter, and that’s when I finally wake up.

“…Sigh”
A sigh escapes, expressing that it wasn’t exactly a pleasant awakening.
Just like last time, I remember almost everything about the dream, including the man being entangled by black threads… and me being cornered by the woman and saved by Aisaka and the others… I remember it all.
“Black threads and pink threads… huh”
The black threads that give a sense of creepiness, and the pink threads that provide a sense of security.
As I was thinking about these two types of threads, I unconsciously picked up my smartphone and started up my partner, calling up that correlation diagram screen.
“…Huh?”
When I saw that screen, my eyes widened.
Because unlike before, there was a change in a very obvious form.
“Why… are Aisaka and the others’ names…?”
That’s right… originally, only my name was here.
But now, names like Aisaka Matsuri, Agatsuma Saika, and Honma Emu have newly appeared—not only the girls I’ve been getting along with recently but also those I’ve been messing with using my partner’s power.
“…Don’t tell me this is”
It might be just a coincidence or I might be overthinking it… but from the content of that dream, what I understand is that these black threads glaring at me might belong to those who have been negatively affected by my partner… In the dream it was a woman, but in my case, could it be from those I punished in the process of helping Aisaka and the others?
“Partner… Is the black representing negative feelings towards those who possess the hypnosis app, and the pink representing positive feelings…?”
If you think about it that way, it strangely makes sense… What the woman in the dream and those I forced to confess their crimes have in common is that even if it doesn’t remain in their memory, it’s not strange for them to harbor hatred on a subconscious level.
“…I see”
As I’ve said many times, I’m not sure if this is the correct answer.
But this feeling that makes so much sense… It seems okay to trust this intuition just for now.
“But that dream… Seriously, are there really others besides me who have this hypnosis app?”
Did that man fail… and receive punishment?
If I thoughtlessly… ignore the other person’s feelings and do something that tramples on their heart, will I meet the same fate…?
It’s an uncomfortable thought, but I can’t stop now… Besides, would it be fun to lay hands on a woman who resents you that much, with dead eyes?
“…I’ve really changed, huh”
Even though I was so pumped up to do whatever I wanted with anyone, even though I was boasting just the other day that I’d do it… There’s no way I could assault those girls like that man did.
“Well, I still can’t stop the healing provided by their breasts though!”
You’re asking if this isn’t the worst behavior?
But… but Aisaka and Agatsuma, even Honma don’t dislike it… In fact, they let me touch them willingly, right?
If that’s the case, I’ll just gratefully accept their words and let them let me touch and enjoy, that’s all.
“By the way, I feel like I’m forgetting something… What was it?”
The reason I’m leisurely immersed in the sea of thoughts after waking up is because it’s a day off.
It’s Saturday, so I don’t have any special plans… Huh? Saturday…?
“…Ah!?”
A current ran through my head, and I remembered everything.
“Today was the day Aisaka and Agatsuma were coming to visit…!!”
There’s no time to be worried about dreams and stuff!
There’s little time left until the scheduled time for the two to arrive… Ah, this is all because of that dream!
“Oh, good morning, Kai—”
“I overslept, I’m in a hurry~!!”
“…You definitely forgot, didn’t you”
I ignored my sister as I passed her coming out of my room!
From there, I focused on speed as I got ready… Of course, I didn’t skip face washing or teeth brushing since I’m inviting girls over.
While being scolded by my sister for not waking up early enough, I somehow managed to get fully prepared.
“Phew”
“Look at you with that ‘mission accomplished’ face”
Shut up, will ya.
