“I don’t mind, but… um, are you okay with this, Agatsuma?”
 
“I don’t mind either… rather… never mind, it’s nothing.”
 
“I see.”
 
Well… I guess about five more minutes should be fine.
 
But now that she told me her legs were numb, my mischievous side was coming out more than my perverted side.
 
I thought it might be okay to tease her a little… and before I knew it, I poked the sole of Agatsuma’s foot.
 
“Mmph!”
 
Hey, don’t make such a sexy sound!?
 
“…Masaki-kun?”
 
“I’m sorry.”
 
She glared … Read the rest

 
My sister makes a cat-like “nyaa” sound, her expression more relaxed than anyone outside would ever see.
 
I guess this is the kind of closeness only blood-related siblings can have.
 
“You know… It really makes you think about how many different kinds of people there are in the world.”
 
“There are all sorts of people at my university too. I know quite a few eccentric people, and there are even some with bad reputations.”
 
“I don’t mind the eccentric ones, but having people with bad reputations around is kind of scary.”
 
“I know, right? But well, as long as nothing … Read the rest

For some reason, Honma has been displaying the inexplicable high-level technique of chuckling with a straight face for a while now.
 
“If you’re laughing like that, you don’t really believe I’m a villain, do you? Should I grope your breasts right now as an example!?”
 
It’s getting dark, and there’s no one around – that’s why I can say such things.
 
I said this to try and scare Honma in a villainous way… but her reaction was different from what I imagined.
 
“…Ah♡”
 
Honma’s cheeks turned bright red.
 
So red that it was visible even in this twilight… Instead of … Read the rest

Chapter 4: This Girl Also Had Her Own Issues…!
 

Following Agatsuma and Aisaka, I finally managed to hypnotize Honma for real!
 
Her family relationships are good, and she’s not under any particular pressure… That’s fortunate for me, and I was happy that I could do whatever I wanted without worrying!
 
Come on, Masaki Kai, do it… Just do it!
 
That’s what I thought, but it seems this world wants to test me again.
 
“A stalker…”
 
“Yes.”
 
Somehow… I knew it.
 
At this point, it’s just a matter of caring about three people … Read the rest

 
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.… Read the rest

 
Well, I was planning to have my way with Honma eventually anyway.
 
While it would be effortless for me to use my partner’s power, I’ll make good use of this opportunity—to gather various information.
 
“Honma…”
 
“Yes?”
 
“…Um.”
 
“?”
 
…It’s no good, I can’t find the words in front of Honma’s expressionless face.
 
Agatsuma doesn’t show much expression either, but we’re close, so that balances it out… But I can’t show such an uncool attitude of being intimidated by a junior girl.
 
I took a deep breath to compose myself and asked what I was curious about.
 
“Why are you working … Read the rest

“What…?”
 
“……………”
 
The man became dazed and completely stopped moving.
 
Shogo and Akira look confused, wondering what just happened. It’s such an unusual sight that they’ve even momentarily forgotten about being harassed by the man.
 
(Well, they’d never think that something like a hypnosis app exists.)
 
But this is the power that’s given me my dreams… Even in this form, thanks for protecting my friends, partner!
 
” …… Hm? “
 
Just after I silently thanked my partner in my mind, I thought I saw my smartphone screen light up, but was it just … Read the rest

Chapter 3: Let’s Go to a Maid Café!
 

A few days have passed since that day when Aisaka and I got caught in a terrible downpour and ended up soaking wet.
 
As for me, I’m still living a wonderful life using my partner’s power with Aisaka and Agatsuma. However, lately, I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure from Agatsuma… to be precise, since the day after the incident with Aisaka.
 
[Um… Agatsuma-san? Why are you in such a bad mood?]
 
[…I don’t know.]
 
Even when I ask Agatsuma, she insists she doesn’t know.
 
Hypnosis…? … Read the rest

 
The weather forecast didn’t mention rain at all, yet it poured so heavily…!
 
But… I’m kind of glad I ended up at Masaki-kun’s house.
 
And what’s more! I’m now borrowing Masaki-kun’s clothes… Hehe, it might be the first time… feeling happy wearing a boy’s clothes like this.
 
(What’s… happening to me, I wonder?)
 
Ever since I met Masaki-kun, I’ve been feeling this way about various things.
 
Until now, I had almost no connection with him, but due to my own issues and problems with Agatsuma… many things happened, and I’ve been spending more time with Masaki-kun, interacting with him a … Read the rest

 
A little while later, I arrived home without any issues.
 
My parents weren’t back from work yet, and my sister wasn’t home either… I hoped she wouldn’t return until after Aisaka left.
 
“Aisaka, I’ll show you to the bath right away. For a change of clothes… I’ll leave out some of my sister’s. Will that be okay?”
 
“Yeah, thanks Masaki-kun. But if I walk like this, I’ll get everything wet…”
 
“Don’t worry about that. Just hurry to the bath and warm up without thinking about such things.”
 
“…Hehe, you’re forceful.”
 
Wait, doesn’t saying … Read the rest
