6: The Effects of the Lover Hypnosis

“S-Say, Aira…”

I can’t let her control the situation.

I have to turn this in my favor.

“Is there anything you need help with? Anything you want me to do for you?”

Aira wouldn’t let me go for the rest of the day.

I wouldn’t be able to do any good deeds for a while.

So, I have to use Aira to make some money, even if it’s just a small amount.

Aira tilted her head as she hugged me.

“Hmm… Something you can help me with…”

“You can ask me for a favor too.”

“Oh, I want you to have lunch with me! Okay?”

“Oh… well, that’s fine with me.”

I wasn’t sure if it was a good deed or not, but I was afraid to refuse her.

She was now truly acting like a lover. But even if she was a lover, there was no telling what kind of grudge she might hold.

“So, should we meet here at noon?”

“Why? We can just eat together in the classroom.”

“What if Makoto sees us?”

“That’s fine. Ma-kun is a slave.”

“Huh?”

Aira sat down on the stairs and crossed her legs.

“His face is my type, and he’s handsome, but… he gets on my nerves sometimes. But he’s the best spec as Aira’s slave. For the time being, I’m pretending to go out with him.

So, I made a deal with him that I would support his hobby band, and in return, he would do whatever I say.”

So that’s why she said that.

This girl is a demon.

No, she’s a demon.

“I’ve been slowly teaching Ma-kun that Aira is the superior one, but I’m starting to get annoyed by his occasional outbursts. The other day, he tried to kiss me by force…”

“Did he succeed?”

“No. I mean, not once.”

“Huh? Not even once…?”

“Because Aira didn’t want to. So, I told Ma-kun, ‘Don’t go against Aira,’ but this is what happens.

A disobedient dog won’t learn unless you hit it over and over again. I broke one of the guitars that he said was a memento from his father! Ahahahaha! He was crying and screaming so hard. It was really funny!”

A chill ran down my spine.

This woman’s cunning and the depth of her malice are unfathomable.

She’s a selfish, innocent devil. She feels no guilt about hurting people. No, rather, she sees it as an amusing spectacle.

Until now, I thought that the malice she directed at me was just something she used to lash out at people she didn’t like. It’s a disgusting and commonplace element that any bad person would have.

However, she is filled with a much darker malice than that.

“Ma-kun, just because we’re dating, he sometimes gets the wrong idea. Isn’t that gross? Ahahahaha!”

“……………………”

As much as I hated Makoto’s story, it really pissed me off. Destroying someone else’s belongings is an inhuman act that goes against all morality.

“…Aira”

“What is it, Watanuki-kun?”

Smiling at him like a girl in love, Ryugo gently admonished her.

“The guitar is not to blame.”

“Oh, so that’s what you’re going to warn me about?”

“And stop gossiping about people.”

“uuu… I won’t do it anymore…”

He quickly checked the app.

The level had gone up to “3”.

What I got was “Super Love” for “Attitude”.

What is this? There was a novel with a title like this in the past…

It’s natural to think of it as higher than a lover, but it’s just ‘attitude’. It’s not assuming that we’re dating, but that I should act like I’m in love, right?

Aira is depressed.

If she would be careful and rehabilitate, it would be a dream come true, but this woman is not such a virtuous person.

She’s just flattering because she’s in front of someone she likes, and she probably doesn’t regret it at all.

However, Ryogo himself is also a criminal who hypnotizes Aira with an app.

In terms of scumbag level, it’s the same or maybe even higher.

It’s against reason to manipulate people’s minds.

It is never permissible.

Even so, I’ll use this power.

To make her pay for framing my best friend.

◆

What kind of person was Ryogo’s best friend?

Why did he have to leave school?

That was two months ago.

It goes back to around May.

Koki, a close friend since junior high school, was a reserved person, but he was a man with guts. If someone was smoking while walking on the side of the road, he would warn them, and if someone cut in line, he would confront them resolutely.

He was the kind of guy who liked to help people.

Ryogo sincerely respected him for that.

He had a slightly round face, wore Boston-type glasses, and had long hair. His arms and legs were thin, but it would be more correct to say that he was stylish rather than skinny.

He was also smart and said he was studying several programming languages.

It was fun since he entered school.

What club to join, which menu item in the cafeteria was delicious, every day was full of discoveries and laughter.

One day.

During the break, Aira made the short girl sitting next to her, Mami Nakayama, crying.

I remember the beginning was something trivial. I overheard them arguing about not giving her a mechanical pencil lead.

Aira was a despicable person who bullied her classmates while relying on her seniority. That was the day when Aira’s true nature was clearly revealed.

While the classroom was in an uproar, Aira continued to threaten Mami without concern.

“Why won’t you listen to what Aira says? Huh?”

“B-but… i-if I give it to you, I won’t be able to write in my notebook… I don’t have a spare, so t-this is the only one… I ‘m sorry.”

“That’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you can’t write. Rather, hurry up and give it to me. It’ll be too late once class starts.”

Saying that, Aira took Mami’s hand and smiled.

“Should I break your fingers?”

“N-no… sorry… no…”

“–Stop it!”

Koki stood up with flames of animosity in his eyes, and Ryogo hurriedly tried to stop him.

“What are you doing!?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“I can’t ignore it. Hey! Miyano Aira! Let go of her hand!!”

This is clearly a case for calling the teacher.

If this continues, a big fight could break out.

Ryogo asked a boy sitting nearby, “Go call the teacher,” and chased after Koki, who was walking away.

“Don’t get involved, your opponent is Aira, you know?”

“Who cares? What if idols and CEOs are related?”

His expression as he refuted her showed a strong sense of justice, but I didn’t want anything to cast a shadow over our peaceful school life from now on.

I desperately tried to stop them, but it was all in vain.

Aira grimaced in disgust and let out a big sigh.

“Haaah… Hey, Ma-kun! These guys are picking a fight with Aira~”

“Oh yeah?”

Seiji languidly got up from his chair and stood in front of Koki.

The two of them stood at a distance where their arms could just barely reach each other and glared at each other.

“Damn glasses. Aira’s just asking a favor. Even you and I ask people for help sometimes, right? Or have you never done it?”

“Don’t change the subject. Nakayama-san refused, but Miyano Aira forced her and even resorted to violence. That’s not a request. It’s a threat.”

“I don’t think so.”

“If you’re serious, go to the hospital. In the head.”

“This is what a real threat looks like.”

In an instant, Seiji closed the distance and kicked Koki in the side.

“…!?”

Koki barely managed to defend himself with his arms and legs and quickly distanced himself. He had good reflexes, but Seiji’s kick was also incredibly fast. If he hadn’t expected violence, he would have taken it head-on.

However, now that things had come to this, he couldn’t just stand there and take it.

Ryugo also stepped forward to help, taking off his jacket and standing next to Koki.

“You guys hit first!!”

He was scared.

But he had to stand up to them.

I wasn’t born to be the kind of heartless person who would let my friends fight alone.

Behind me, the other girls cheered, “Go for it! Raccoon! Koki!”

Seiji turned red and clawed at the air.

“Damn raccoon and damn glasses… aaagh, this is so annoying!! I’m seriously going to send you gloomy bastards to the hospital!!”

“Do you have enough money to pay for the hospital bills, you bastard!?”

“You’re not only going to lose, but you’re also going to be stingy!?”

Before I knew it, our classmates had formed a circle around Ryugo and the others. They were holding their most important belongings and watching from a distance to avoid getting hurt.

In the hallway, students from other classes who were passing by were also peeking in to see what was going on.

It was about to erupt.

Both sides were testing the waters, waiting to see who would make the first move.

The area around them was filled with desks and chairs that could hinder their movements.

If they moved carelessly, they would trip.

There was a difference in reach. Seiji was slightly taller.

However, we had the advantage in numbers. The advantage of distance was far outweighed by the advantage of numbers.

If they attacked one person, the other could close in on them.

As they slowly closed the distance,

“All three of you, stop it!”

Enka stepped in between them.

She held out her hands to both sides and looked at them alternately with a solemn expression.

“Don’t fight! Please, both of you, just stop!”

“Ah…Yeah…”

There was no way they could fight with Enka between them, so Ryugo and Koki lowered their fists.

They were still angry, but they had no choice but to obey.

Makoto seemed to be still hesitating, but when

“Mako-kun, that’s enough,”

Aira said in a bored tone, he reluctantly lowered his stance.

He wasn’t so rotten that he would involve a third party.

The classmates around them, seeing that the fight had ended, returned to their seats.

Aira sat down, making no sound, as if she were dealing with a bear, being careful not to provoke her again.

On the surface, it would seem that a group led by Makoto ruled the classroom.

But in reality, it was “the princess and her followers” centered around Aira.

The classroom, dominated by a single girl, was in a state of chaos.

Only Ryugo and Koki resisted.

Normally, they would have been crushed long ago.

This classroom was kept in a precarious balance by the irregularity that was Enka.

Her words always calmed the conflict.

That might have been a blessing for the other students.

But in the end, it was just a temporary solution.

They were nowhere near strong enough to stop Aira.

Unless something decisive happened, Aira would never change.
