Chapter 24: The Evil Hypnosis Technique (2)
"Sorry to keep you waiting. The steak is ready!"
"Itadakimasu!"
Takumi picked up the knife and fork. He'd eaten steak a few times with his little sister just for the novelty, so he knew how to handle the utensils. After one bite, his eyes lit up.
"Even though it's a little charred and the seasoning's uneven, the flavor is seriously good. Salty, savory, a touch of sweetness, some heat, and that rich beef aroma. Nao, you've got real talent."
"You're too kind, Kouichi-kun. It's not my skill—it's the ingredients. This is Kobe beef, you know."
"Kobe beef? I've heard the legends. But isn't it super expensive?"
Kobe beef is one of the most famous meats in the world. As a Japanese specialty, it often appears at state banquets for foreign dignitaries. That melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, rich without being greasy—it's the kind of taste that makes you reluctant to put your chopsticks down.
"Mm, it's pricey, but as long as Kouichi-kun likes it, that's what matters. Eat up!"
"It's amazing, but… aren't you eating?"
Takumi noticed she'd only brought out one plate and asked. Nao shook her head.
"I already ate earlier."
Takumi's hand paused mid-cut. He suddenly understood. Even though Nao's family was fairly well-off, Japan's prices were brutal—and Kobe beef was outrageously expensive. She'd probably only bought enough for two servings. The one that got charred earlier was wasted, so she'd saved this one just for him.
A wave of warmth filled his chest.
At the same time, a practical thought crossed his mind: no matter which dimension he was in, money was essential. Currency might not transfer between different 2D worlds due to era or country differences, but gold? As long as the setting was Earth-based, gold should be universally accepted.
To honor Nao's feelings, Takumi didn't hesitate. He polished off every last bite of the lovingly prepared meal, then patted his stomach dramatically.
"So full! The love energy is way too high—I'm gonna get fat at this rate!"
Hearing such a cheesy yet sweet line, Nao beamed happily.
"I'll clean up the dishes. After that… want to go for a walk together?"
"Sure. Nao, come here—gimme a kiss first."
"No way! Your mouth's all greasy, and the chili earlier was super spicy!"
Nao pushed his face away playfully and scampered off with the plate. Takumi chuckled, then glanced at the hypnosis book beside him. He'd already fully grasped its contents. He decided to head back home soon, wash up, and bring the book along.
"Wait… I figured out a way to fuse hypnosis with magic power earlier, but I haven't tested it yet. I wonder how effective it'll be."
Setting the book aside, Takumi walked into Nao's kitchen. She had just finished washing the dishes. Hearing footsteps, she turned.
"What's wrong, Kouichi-kun? Thirsty?"
"Look into my eyes."
Takumi spoke slowly, deliberately.
The moment Nao's red crescent-moon contact lenses met his gaze, her body froze. In an instant, she slipped into a trance-like state—half asleep, half awake.
"Slowly turn around, Nao."
Nao obeyed, turning gradually.
Takumi continued in the same low, hypnotic murmur.
"Nao… am I the person you love most?"
"Yes… Kouichi-kun… love…"
"Good. Today the house is empty. It's the perfect chance for just the two of us. Right now, you're craving my embrace."
Nao's snowy-white arms wrapped tightly around his, and she leaned sweetly against his broad shoulder, like a blissful newlywed wife.
Takumi went on.
"After some gentle foreplay… you're already extremely aroused. You want me to hold you."
A flush spread across Nao's face. Her breathing grew heavy. She began to squirm, rubbing against him.
"I want it… I want it… give it to me, Kouichi-kun…"
"Give you what?"
"Your love…"
"My love is right here on my body. Go find it yourself."
"Find…"
Nao lifted his T-shirt, then slowly kissed her way down his chest. Eventually she reached his belt. Takumi shivered with pleasure, goosebumps rising all over.
"That's the gate of love. Open it."
Fighting back the overwhelming sensation, Takumi gave the command.
Nao's cheeks burned crimson as she undid his belt. Without the support, his pants slid down. The next moment, his "elephant" was gripped by her soft, delicate little hand.
"Serve it. It is the source of pleasure."
With that final order, Nao began stroking him through the fabric. The intimate contact quickly made him swell again, tenting dramatically. Deciding the clothes were in the way, she pulled everything down. The beast sprang free, wild and imposing.
"Nn… so good…"
After a while, without any further command, Nao seemed to instinctively know what to do. She knelt down gracefully, assuming a submissive yet seductive posture. Like a bewitching serpent, she opened her mouth and engulfed him completely, swallowing with ambition.
Though her movements were inexperienced, the raw sensation was overwhelming! Takumi felt her small tongue swirling around him like she was savoring an ice cream cone or lollipop.
"Oh! Nao, you're incredible!"
What started as a mere experiment quickly spiraled out of control. After holding on for three minutes, Takumi pressed down on the back of her head. His hips bucked once, twice—and then the scorching magma erupted fully into her cherry-red mouth! A torrent of dragon's breath overflowed, spilling across her pretty face!
Fifteen minutes later, they were walking side by side down the street, properly dressed.
Nao tilted her head, puzzled.
"Why did time pass so quickly? I just spaced out for a second and suddenly ten minutes were gone."
"When you're happy, time always flies."
Takumi smiled gently.
He felt mentally drained—the classic post-climax exhaustion men experience—plus the fact that he'd completely used up all his magic power to test the hypnosis-magic fusion. He felt hollowed out.
But the experiment had been a complete success.
Nao had no memory of what happened. To her, it was like the time had simply blinked away.
So when I use this hypnosis-magic, my eyes flash red. Let's call it the Hypnotic Demon Eye from now on. Nao had zero resistance or wariness toward me, so she obeyed completely under the gaze. But what about a stranger?
The experiment had succeeded, filling him with excitement—but also leaving many questions to explore slowly.
For now, though, the priority was to enjoy this date with Nao.
They'd already confirmed their relationship, skipped straight past stage A, done B and C, and were only missing the final D. Yet they hadn't even had a proper date—holding hands, strolling together. So despite the magic exhaustion and mental fatigue from casting the hypnosis, Takumi stubbornly stayed by her side.
"Is that how it works? I can't even remember when I got changed and came out with you, Kouichi-kun… Oh well. Where should we go?"
"I'm not familiar with the area. You lead."
"Then let's head to the station. I kinda want to drink some vegetable juice from there."
Hearing "vegetable juice" reminded Takumi of something. Just one day ago, when she'd been confined, she'd mentioned wanting vegetable juice too.
"Sure. I'd like to try it too."
Takumi took her hand. Nao leaned against him. A gentle evening breeze blew past, sending their hair—black and gold—dancing together in the wind. The intertwining strands looked like a harmony of light and shadow, carrying a quiet, poetic feeling of two people bound together for life.
