At this moment, their eyes were still unfocused. They were clearly still under hypnosis.
Looking at the three dazed gyaru girls, Nogami Izumi and the others, Hikari had no intention of removing their hypnosis.
After all, those three gyaru girls weren't good people either.
Sure enough, after Hikari snapped his fingers and brought Nogami Izumi and the other two out of their hypnotized state, the moment Nogami Izumi regained her senses and noticed Hikari, her brows shot up as she glared at him.
"Hikari! What are you doing here?"
"This is our territory. Who said you could come in?"
"You asking-for-a-beating bastard, you've got some nerve. How arrogant!"
Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae were clearly still holding a grudge over Hikari helping Yoshida Saki slap them in the face before, loudly shouting at him and insulting him. Although Sanada Minako didn't curse as fiercely as the other two, she also helped glare at Hikari.
Faced with the three gyaru girls hissing at him like threatened animals, Hikari explained, "I came here just now to save you. I helped you, understand?"
"It's one thing if you don't thank me, but you're barking here like wild dogs. That's really rude."
Hearing Hikari's words, Nogami Izumi and the other two gyaru girls froze for a moment, vaguely recalling something.
But they had already been hypnotized once by Tazaki before.
Hikari hadn't completely purified them. He had only deleted the parts related to hypnosis.
That made Nogami Izumi and the other two vaguely feel that Hikari didn't seem to be lying, but it also seemed ridiculous, as though he were treating them like fools.
In the end, as usual, the gyaru girls trusted their own instincts.
"You're talking nonsense. Save us? What a joke!"
"That's right! Hikari, you bastard! We still haven't settled the score after you offended us before, and now you actually dare to barge into our territory. You're really asking for it!"
"Today, the three of us are going to teach you a proper lesson and let you know who's the boss!"
At Nogami Izumi's signal, the three gyaru girls surrounded Hikari.
"Well? Scared now? Kneel down, kowtow, and call me Boss Nogami, and I might consider letting you off. Otherwise, I've got plenty of ways to deal with you!", Nogami Izumi raised her chin and threatened him.
Facing her hissing, Hikari shrugged calmly, "Go ahead and use whatever you've got."
Seeing Hikari looking so fearless, Nogami Izumi felt a little uneasy, wondering if he had some kind of backing.
But when she turned her head, she found the classroom completely empty. There were only the three of them and Hikari.
The hallway outside was deserted as well.
A malicious thought immediately rose in Nogami Izumi's heart.
She exchanged a look with Hinata Sae.
Then the two of them rushed at Hikari from either side and started grabbing at him.
One seized his arm while the other pressed down on his shoulder.
They looked as though they were trying to restrain him.
Sanada Minako, standing nearby, still looked somewhat hesitant.
She even said, "Izumi-chan, Sae... Isn't it a little bad to bully Hikari-kun like this?"
Hearing that, Nogami Izumi grew anxious and urged, "What's bad about it, Minako? A guy like Hikari who's so arrogant and doesn't take us seriously deserves to be taught a hard lesson! Otherwise, how are we supposed to survive at school in the future? What authority would I have as the boss?"
Hinata Sae also chimed in, "Minako-chan, are you still our friend or not? If you are, hurry over and help!"
"Minako, what are you hesitating for?"
There was still a trace of hesitation in Sanada Minako's eyes, but when she saw the warning in Nogami Izumi's gaze becoming stronger and stronger, she obediently stepped forward and grabbed Hikari's hand.
Although the way these gyaru girls were holding him down was as ridiculous as a few ants trying to pin down an elephant,
Hikari didn't break free right away. Instead, he watched their performance with interest.
After seeing Sanada Minako and Hinata Sae restrain both of Hikari's arms, Nogami Izumi folded her arms across her chest, walked up in front of him, and smiled smugly.
"Nogami Izumi, what are you trying to do?", Hikari asked.
"What am I trying to do? I'm going to teach you a hard lesson, punish you, and torment you!", Nogami Izumi held up her breasts, which were neither big nor small but just right, and smiled wickedly.
"What are you going to do?", Hikari asked again.
"Heh! Heh! I'm going to humiliate you and let you know how miserable it is to go against me!", Nogami Izumi said proudly.
"So?"
"So I'm going to lick your feet! I'll make you sit there like a dog. I'll lick your feet while you can't resist at all, and you'll have no choice but to endure the humiliation of having your feet licked!", Nogami Izumi burst into laughter as she started taking off Hikari's shoes. [T/N: Insert Confused Obama gif.]
Hinata Sae also chimed in, "When are you going to club activities? After you're covered in smelly sweat from exercising, I'm going to lick your sweaty armpits. I'll make you lose all your dignity like a slave. How about it? Doesn't that feel embarrassing and humiliating? Wahahaha!"
Hearing what Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae said, Hikari was speechless.
Sure enough, those gyaru girls hadn't learned hypnosis with good intentions.
According to what Tazaki had confessed earlier, he had made some common-sense modifications to Nogami Izumi and the others.
Although after Hikari arrived, he had deleted or blocked all their memories related to hypnosis, he hadn't undone the changes for these three gyaru girls who bullied people every day.
So at this moment, they should still think they were talking about bullying Hikari.
It was just that because of the altered cognition and the influence of the Pure Love Halo, the roles of bully and victim had been switched.
After hearing the ways Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae had planned to humiliate him after mastering hypnosis, Hikari was even less inclined to directly remove their hypnosis and cognition changes.
He would simply return the favor in the same way and properly teach these villainous gyaru girls a lesson.
After they finished carrying out all these acts that would only humiliate themselves, he would find an appropriate opportunity to remove the hypnosis.
Then Nogami Izumi and the others would understand what real humiliation was.
Thinking of that, Hikari turned to look at Sanada Minako, who had remained mostly silent.
Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae had both already said how they wanted to get revenge on him.
But Sanada Minako hadn't.
Hikari immediately asked her, "Minako, what do you want to do to me?"
A smile appeared on Sanada Minako's pure and dignified face. As she gently brushed back her hair, she smiled softly.
"I want Hikari-kun to be my dog, kneeling on the ground with his butt sticking up, tongue hanging out, barking woof woof."
"Then you'll lick my hands, lick my feet, and lick my whole body like a dog."
"A doggy as lowly as Hikari-kun, a doggy who likes me this much, has to acknowledge me as its master."
Seeing Sanada Minako say such shocking things with such a pure expression, even Hikari was slightly stunned.
'Good lord!'
Even after her cognition had been altered, she still dared to say such things to him.
So the most arrogant one among the three gyaru girls wasn't their leader, Nogami Izumi.
It was Sanada Minako, who looked pure and refined.
Hearing Sanada Minako's outrageous declaration, Hikari stood up, wanting to teach this gyaru girl a lesson first.
But suddenly, he stopped.
'Wait...'
Hikari suddenly came to his senses.
Judging from Nogami Izumi's and Hinata Sae's reactions, their cognition had already been altered by the hypnosis.
Their acts of bullying him had actually had the roles of bully and victim reversed.
For example, Nogami Izumi said she wanted to lick his feet to bully and humiliate him.
Her real intention had actually been to make him lick her feet.
And after her cognition had been altered, Sanada Minako still said she wanted him to be her dog.
'Which means...'
'Her original genuine thought is that she wants to be my dog and acknowledge me as her master?'
'Holy shit!'
'So she has already switched sides in her heart and even wants to become my dog?'
Hikari stared in surprise at Sanada Minako's pure and dignified face.
Although he had already noticed before that this innocent-looking gyaru liked him, he hadn't expected it to be to this extent, that she even wanted to be his dog.
Noticing Hikari's gaze, Sanada Minako's little face flushed slightly, revealing a girl's shy and adorable expression.
But she still urged him, "Hikari, hurry... hurry up and kneel down. Call me Master Minako. Then I'll give you a bone to eat!"
Hearing her words, which were both shy and commanding, Hikari felt somewhat helpless.
So he used hypnosis once more to alter Sanada Minako's cognition.
He made it so that she wouldn't be the complete opposite like Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae.
But he still didn't directly remove Sanada Minako's hypnosis.
After all, although Sanada Minako wasn't very hostile toward him, and even seemed to have her heart elsewhere, she had definitely joined Nogami Izumi and Hinata Sae in bullying other people before.
After all, she was one of the three gyaru girls.
So she also needed to be punished and taught a lesson.
Then Nogami Izumi and the other two gyaru girls began carrying out their "bullying operation" against Hikari.
The previously overbearing Nogami Izumi was now kneeling on the floor with a proud smile, holding Hikari's foot and happily licking it.
Sanada Minako gave him a "face wash" with her chest while also giving him a massage.
In short, each of the three gyaru girls "bullied" Hikari in the way they themselves had wanted.
After the three of them had busied themselves for quite a while, until each of them was panting from exhaustion and looked rather disheveled, Hikari finally stood up.
"In a moment, clean up the classroom. Don't leave any traces of the bullying. Understood?", Hikari said.
"Of course! And you're not allowed to tell anyone that we bullied you either, got it?", Nogami Izumi threatened.
"You're not allowed to tell the teachers that Izumi-chan licked your feet just now, or you'll regret it!", Hinata Sae added threateningly.
Hikari couldn't help laughing.
Then he continued, "Starting today, you're not allowed to bully or harass anyone else. Do you understand?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Nogami Izumi and the other gyaru girls froze.
Then they suddenly sneered at him.
"Heh! Heh! Pretty confident, aren't you? You really need another lesson. In that case, we'll just take all our frustration out on you instead. Are you willing?"
"That's right. If we don't bully other people, we'll bully you instead. Are you willing?", Hinata Sae also said coldly.
Naturally, Hikari wasn't afraid of their threats. He even found them a little funny.
He nodded directly, "Fine. Then just bully me."
"And one more thing. Starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to pay attention in class or do your homework."
"You have to bring me all your homework. I'll do it for you, and every day I'll also pay you protection money."
