"Th-that's... how did you know...?"
Cha Eun-ju stammered, caught off guard by my sudden question.
Her eyes spun in circles as she scrambled for an excuse. It was so damn cute, so endearing.
'She probably never imagined I'd ask about this out of nowhere.'
Normally, someone under Suggestion: Hypnosis wouldn't even realize how they were acting.
But she'd accidentally let slip some knowledge about it, which could force her to confess she'd been pretending to be hypnotized this whole time.
She'd have to admit that showing me her breasts, letting me grope her bare skin, even allowing me to suck on her lips—all of it was because she wanted to.
...Of course, I had no intention of pushing her that far yet. For the sake of my relationships with the other heroines, Cha Eun-ju needed to keep up the hypnosis act for a while longer.
"By any chance, Eun-ju..."
"..."
"Did you look up how hypnotized people usually act?"
"...Uh, y-yeah?!"
"It shows up a lot in movies and dramas. People under hypnosis obeying the hypnotist's commands, acting against their own will, stuff like that."
"Y-yeah, exactly! That's why... I've seen it so much in movies and dramas..."
"Did you imagine it based on that? How you'd act if you were hypnotized?"
"...Y-yeah! I imagined it from that! I don't actually remember anything from when I was hypnotized or anything like that... definitely not..."
...With excuses that flimsy, I was starting to worry if I could keep pretending to be fooled.
Cha Eun-ju nodded frantically, parroting the 'plausible excuse' I'd fed her. Honestly, if I weren't deliberately playing along, she'd have been busted ten times over by now.
I could have glossed over it without pointing it out, but then she might start overthinking her slip-ups later and grow suspicious.
And if she realized even the fake hypnosis act was something I'd orchestrated, that could get dicey. Pointing it out once like this and moving on was actually safer.
...Plus, putting it out there plainly would make it even harder for her to admit the hypnosis was fake.
"Alright, since it's come to this, I'll tell you. When you're hypnotized, like you think, you'd grant any request I make."
"R-really...? I had a feeling it was like that, but... it really is...?"
"Yeah. But like I said last time, I'm not asking you for anything weird. The requests I make under hypnosis are just training to help you overcome your fears."
"If it's training to overcome fears, then... well, no helping it..."
Even though she knew exactly what naughty things I'd done, Cha Eun-ju nodded as if she had no choice.
Talking it out like this was basically her greenlighting more lewd stuff, so no need to hold back.
'Looks like it's safe to push things further in this state.'
No matter the reason, her asking me to hypnotize her first showed she'd steeled herself to some extent.
To advance without resistance, I'd use Suggestion: Hypnosis, but judging by her reaction, a bolder move today should be fine.
...Since we're in the church infirmary, I couldn't risk anything too noisy leaking out, so I'd keep it within bounds.
'Something that won't let Cha Eun-ju's voice escape but still advances our relationship...'
It might be a bit aggressive for a normal relationship, but with Cha Eun-ju, it'd be okay.
With a rough plan in mind, I extended my right hand and called her name.
"Come to think of it, we haven't done any 'hypnosis training' since that last session, right?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Let's do it then. It's been a while. To conquer your fear of monsters, we need more 'hypnosis training'."
"R-right...?"
Her face flushed as she nodded at the mention of hypnosis, but she still leaned toward my right hand.
Knowing full well what lewd things awaited, yet offering herself up anyway—she was just too lovable.
-Pat, pat.
"Hoo, ha, haa..."
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡
Suggestion: Hypnosis ※ Target: Cha Eun-ju
"Gasp...!"
Maybe from sheer tension. The moment she realized the hypnosis had kicked in, she gasped loud enough to give it away.
Still no talent for acting, I thought, stroking her hair before letting my hand drop.
"Hypnotized now, Eun-ju?"
"Y-yeah... I'm hypnotized..."
Hearing her declare it herself was cute no matter how many times.
...For now, time to convince her properly. Like I said, I planned to push bolder today.
Asking her to jerk me off out of the blue might freeze her up, so build it up carefully.
"Eun-ju."
"Y-yeah... I'm hypnotized...?"
"Yeah. Since you're hypnotized, I'll be honest. Don't think it's weird—just listen."
"O-okay..."
"It's... kind of embarrassing, actually."
"..."
-Gulp.
She swallowed hard at the preface, unable to hide her tension.
Feeling myself stiffen already, I carefully climbed the next step.
"You know how men have stronger sex drives than women... right?"
"S-sex drive...? Y-yeah, I know..."
"Mine's like that too. Maybe even stronger than average guys."
"I-is that so..."
"To the point where I need to jerk off three or four times a day just to feel normal. Holding back for days gets frustrating."
"Th-three or four times a day... j-jerking off..."
"But since I got admitted here, it's been tough. It's a church, after all... and you're always by my side."
"A-ah...! Oh, uh... yeah..."
Her face lit up with realization, then fell into a slight gloom as she bowed her head.
Probably disappointed, thinking her presence might've been a bother. My words were plenty loaded to imply I'd been uncomfortable because of her.
Obviously, I had no plans to ask her to give me space. Like I said, today's goal was to get bolder with Cha Eun-ju.
"So, here's the thing, Eun-ju."
"Y-yeah..."
"If it doesn't bother you..."
"..."
"Could you... help me with my jerking off? Just a little?"
"...H-huh?!"
She jolted like she'd been shocked, body leaping up.
She'd probably imagined me asking her to step out, so the bluntness threw her.
But given the circumstances, there was no better chance. My injury made the request reasonable, and her touching me wouldn't risk noise leaking out like if I touched her.
"Wh-what do you mean by helping with jerking off...? I-I don't get it..."
"Straight up? It means you grab my dick with your hand and stroke it. To help me feel better."
"Gr-grab Seon-ho's dick... stroke it to make you feel better..."
"If it grosses you out, no need. Even under hypnosis, I don't want to make you do anything you hate."
"..."
She hesitated, glancing at me cautiously, unsure how to respond.
But I knew what her answer would be soon enough.
After all, I'd bared this embarrassing truth myself and hinted it was because of her I couldn't relieve myself.
Her conscience wouldn't let her refuse now.
"I-I'll help."
"You sure?"
"Y-yeah... And since I'm hypnotized, it doesn't bother me at all..."
She couldn't meet my eyes, but she faced what she had to do head-on.
...This reaction? Yeah, I can push pretty far today.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
-Thump.
-Thump, thump, thump.
Cha Eun-ju felt her heart pounding wildly through her whole body but couldn't press a hand to her chest to calm it.
She had to keep up the hypnosis act. Any unscripted move would blow her cover.
'Grab Seon-ho's dick... stroke it to make him feel better...'
She knew what he meant. She'd seen it in lewd anime and manga.
A girl grabs a guy's dick, strokes it up and down... until he cums.
Her knowledge skewed lewd thanks to that, so his vague words weren't lost on her.
...Still, the thought of seeing a real guy's thing up close made her heart race uncontrollably.
'But... it's because of me, in the end.'
She'd stuck by Seon-ho's side cluelessly for too long... building up his lust.
So him hypnotizing her to relieve it? Unavoidable, right?
She was the one who denied him alone time, so the responsibility was hers.
With that in mind, she slowly shifted toward his lower body, awaiting his next command.
"First, take off my pants."
"Y-yeah..."
-Rustle...
"..."
His loose patient pants slid off, revealing his underwear beneath.
His already erect dick made its presence known the moment the layer came off. Even hidden, its size was easy to imagine.
'Kinda... big, huh...'
She wasn't sure, but this seemed like something out of manga.
Shed heard real guys weren't this big. Was she wrong?
Were manga dicks normal-sized, or was Seon-ho's just bigger than average?
Lost in confused thoughts, his next order snapped her back.
"Next... underwear too?"
"..."
"Eun-ju?"
"R-right, u-underwear... r-right now..."
-Thump, thump, thump.
Clutching her pounding heart, she tugged his underwear down, his thick shaft emerging bit by bit.
Acting as natural as possible, faking hypnosis hard, Cha Eun-ju pulled it off.
-Thwump.
"..."
The moment his underwear was off, it sprang up, and she couldn't hide her shock.
'Wh-what...?'
Bigger than she'd imagined—maybe even more than in manga.
Lee Seon-ho's massive cock was right there before Cha Eun-ju's eyes.
