Chapters 61-62 – Reward Confirmation
[MC POV]
Hypnotism.
A wicked power that could manipulate the minds of others.
But thanks to that wickedness, it was a power that enjoyed a cult following—no, a major level of popularity—in the market for adult games, hentai manga, and erotic novels.
Think about it. The strict boss who had been hysterical with you yesterday, sucking you off and calling you master at night!
Or the childhood friend you liked suddenly getting a boyfriend, your jealousy exploding, leading you to use hypnosis to fuck her and realize pure—purely—love!
Finally, the upper-class novel woman who bullied you becomes your onahole, moaning and cumming!
Doesn't your heart flutter just imagining it?
That's the power of hypnosis.
[Reward: Hypnotism]
And that power was now being given to me.
"Keuh! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Naturally, such a wicked laugh burst from my lips. Honestly, anyone else would have reacted the same way.
'With this, I too can be with a top-tier high school beauty!'
I pressed the reward confirmation button, letting my dark fantasies run wild.
[Please turn both palms to face the sky.]
Then, this message suddenly appeared.
'Suddenly telling me to turn my palms to the sky. What kind of nonsense is this?'
I thought about it, but I wanted to receive hypnosis quickly, so I obediently followed the instruction.
Thud…!
"Whoa!"
As I turned my palms skyward, something fell into my hands.
It was a wooden box with a familiar symbol of a giant eye—a symbol I had seen somewhere before.
With a deep smile on my face, I placed the box down.
I rubbed my palms together, following the rule that hands must be softened before unboxing. After rubbing them, I placed my hand on the button that seemed to serve as the lock.
"Okay. Let's check it out. Ta-da-ran, ta-da-ran~"
I opened the box, humming a very familiar background music tune. And then…
"No. What the hell. Is this Sakura?"
I couldn't help but frown.
Inside was not the hypnosis app I had been expecting, but instead…
[Hypnosis Basics Made Too Easy!]
[A 5-yen coin with a string attached]
I knew what this was, but it felt like a very pathetic set compared to what I had originally imagined.
If there had been just a book, I could have been happy thinking it taught hypnosis activated by a finger snap or a trigger word. But seeing the coin, it was painfully obvious how it was meant to be used. So, I put the box on the floor and wailed.
"Nooooo! My click-hypnosis-obsessed-top-tier-beautyyyy!!"
After cursing the world, I calmed my excited heart.
'Yeah. I knew it. If it was hypnosis from 2009, snapping fingers or using a coin was the trend. I understood that rationally, but…'
'Couldn't they just give me a smartphone…?'
I grumbled to myself. Then I decided that since it was a reward, I should at least check the contents.
First, the coin with the string…
'Just a normal 5-yen coin and a string?'
It was exactly that. A normal coin and string. And the book was…
'No. Is this some kind of textbook from the internet? Hypnosis Basics Made Too Easy…'
I had never attended university, but I had seen posts online about textbooks explaining concepts, so it wasn't entirely unfamiliar. Of course, there were no other items in the box.
'Damn it. This reward is so stingy.'
I clicked my tongue and decided to read the hypnosis basics book, which didn't seem so basic. After all, I had nothing else.
'Well, it's called basics, so it should be easy, right?'
With half worry and half expectation, I began reading the book. Surprisingly, it was full of helpful content about hypnosis and related topics.
The problem was, without the hypnosis part, much of the content resembled a psychology textbook.
For example, one section read:
[The human psyche is largely divided into two parts. One is the surface psyche. The [actions or thoughts] we commonly have are part of this surface psyche. The other is the deep psyche. What we know as [instinct] corresponds to this deep psyche…]
"Fuck !! It is more like a psychology book than a hypnosis manual."
"Well… what cam I do? I have to read it if I want to learn hypnosis."
It wasn't very thick anyway. It wasn't like I couldn't get through it.
About two hours after I started reading this strange hypnosis book,
"Hmm… it's more interesting than I thought?"
I managed to finish it with more satisfaction than I had expected. For some reason, the reading session had taught me useful things about psychology.
The problem was, there was nothing about hypnosis itself.
The funny thing about the book was that it included various cases and precautions about hypnosis, but it lacked the most important part: how to actually learn hypnosis.
'Is this right?'
It was like a vegetable bun without vegetables.
Because of that, I couldn't help but feel that this damn game was trampling on my pure love for my top-tier beauty hypnosis obsession.
While I was thinking about whether to throw some shit at the world and trying to predict the future, suddenly,
[You have acquired a new skill!]
[Skill slots will now be opened!]
[Skill]
[Basic Hypnosis]◀
Fortunately, I had obtained hypnosis in an unexpected way.
'Whoo-hoo! I fucking got hypnosis!'
At the words confirming I had acquired hypnosis, I could feel the smile that had been buried deep inside rise again.
'Hehehe. Finally, I too will have a top-tier beauty…'
I thought that and pressed the skill to see how to use it.
[Basic Hypnosis] [LV: 1]
[The effect is activated by tying a 5-yen or 50-yen coin with a string and swinging it left and right.]
This was something I already knew. What I needed to know was how usable this hypnosis was and how long it lasted.
That was explained in detail below.
[There is no limit to the number of times a user can use hypnosis in a day, but there are limits to the hypnosis that can be applied to the person being hypnotized.]
[Number of times hypnosis is possible]
Surface Hypnosis: 3 times
Deep Hypnosis: 0 times
Of course, along with this basic information, there was also a warning about the power.
[Caution: If this is violated, the mind of the person being hypnotized may collapse.]
'The mind may collapse…'
At those words, I frowned, recalling past experiences. I shook my head and continued reading.
As I focused on the grim warning, I noticed the most important detail: the duration.
[Surface Hypnosis]
[The duration is determined by the subject's command suitability.]
In other words, if you hypnotize a pervert with a perverted hypnosis, the effect will last longer.
[If the command suitability is not met, the memory of the hypnosis may be lost.]
If the suitability was high, the memory was likely to remain; if it was low, the memory was likely to be erased.
As I read through the explanation, the last line made my heart sink.
[Deep Hypnosis]
[When using deep hypnosis, the subject's personality, characteristics, nature, intelligence, etc., can be altered, so there is no duration.]
'I can change everything…'
At that single line, my heart, which had been excited until just now, dropped.
This deep hypnosis literally had the power to turn a person's life upside down. In short, it was an incredibly dangerous and frightening ability.
'To manipulate a person's life.'
I had done something similar in the past, so I understood just how powerful this could be.
'It was a terrible experience.'
I also understood the danger this power carried.
Of course, what I had done before and this mental work were not the same, but both had the potential to manipulate a person's life.
'I should refrain from using this as much as possible.'
Deep hypnosis hadn't been unlocked yet, but judging by the words "level" and "basic," it might become available as my skill level increased.
After roughly finishing my thoughts on hypnosis, I sighed and looked back at the book. But why had the game given me this?
'No. Then why did the game give me the book? It's not even a proper instruction manual…'
As I pondered that and looked at the book again, a strange screen suddenly popped up.
[Skill Book: Basic Hypnosis]
I was briefly shocked by that phrase.
'This is crazy. There's even a skill book?'
One surprising thing was the existence of a skill book in this game. And another thought struck me…
'Wait, then is it possible to use magic like a fireball?'
The idea of gaining fantasy-like abilities excited me. Thinking back, I recalled seeing a strange pile of books at 'Hanaya' store. Maybe those were all skill books.
'Magic that you can only get if you've been a virgin for 30 years?'
It was definitely an appealing thought.
After letting my imagination run wild about the skill book for a while, I came back to reality and checked the rewards again.
I had been distracted by hypnosis, but there were other rewards besides it.
[Reward]
[Stamina Recovery Potion × 5]
[Virility Enhancer × 5]
[Instant Hair Growth Potion × 5]
[Elixir]
.
.
.
'The rewards besides hypnosis didn't seem that important… No. Wait a minute…!'
[Instant Hair Growth Potion: Makes any bald head grow natural hair.]
[Effect: 2 years]
'This is crazy.'
It seemed like another jackpot.
It wasn't just because the effect was impressive.
'In my memory, Hanaya store sold this for 100 million yen each…'
This was something that could cost a billion yen each.
'With just one of these, I could make a billion… no, maybe even two billion?'
One might wonder how I could get two billion from this, but wouldn't it be a bargain for wealthy people who were truly bald?
I thought that to myself and carefully hid the hair growth potion in my pocket.
Was I not going to use it? In the first place, this body's hair kept getting cut—it wasn't like it didn't grow.
'Thinking about it, my hair has grown quite a bit, hasn't it?'
It was probably time to cut it. I should tell my mother not to trim it this time.
'Now that I had a handsome face, I wanted to style it properly.'
I thought that to myself and cleared the reward screen.
While doing so, I noticed one reward I hadn't checked yet. There was one remaining reward for clearing the scenario beyond the limit. And I hit another jackpot with that reward.
Inside was none other than…
[Scenario Over-Achievement Reward]
[Subspace Pocket]
"Subspace pocket??!! Inventory?"
It was a subspace pocket.
I slightly widened my pants pocket and thought,
'This?'
What kind of pocket? I read the explanation.
[Subspace Pocket: A subspace is created in the pocket of the clothes you are wearing. You can put any item in the pocket. However, living things cannot enter.]
With that explanation, I couldn't help but think: Maybe conquering Miyuki was even better than I had imagined.
