A New Interest

“You bought a new bracelet . ”
I just happened to notice during lunch break inside the world history reference room . The bracelet consisted of beads that were threaded together, making it look like a rosary .
However, it was a bit colorful, with white and pale pink beads .
“Ah . This? It’s powerstones . ”
She said it with such a happy smile that I found it hard to say anything .
I’m the type to think that things like this are suspicious, but it seems like the innocent Hiiragi-chan completely believes in it .
To get hooked on spiritual things like this isn’t good, right? When I told her that, she told me that it wasn’t true, and so all I could do was give up .
She taught me about a bunch of different effects but none of it entered my head .
After the body swapping case, it seems that she’s developed a taste for charms like these . Well, if you experienced that effect first hand, it wouldn’t be a surprise to want to try these things .
… This is still on the cute side of things . Hiiragi-chan gradually became more and more hooked on things, and then——
“Seiji-kun, make sure to relax, okay? Take deep breaths, and let go of your strength…”
She became obsessed with hypnotism!!
… She hasn’t yet joined some weird occult cult, so it was still okay in that regard . During one of the afternoons over the weekend, I was put into hypnosis at Hiiragi-chan’s place .
I did as I was ordered and relaxed . After being ordered to again, I crossed both my arms .
“Ufufu . Once you’ve crossed those arms… you won’t be able to separate them anymore…!”
Hiiragi-chan grinned . She seemed to be waiting on my reaction . Her confidence in this must be pretty high
“Is that even possible? I’m pretty sure I can separate them like normal though . ”
And so, I doubted her .
“That’s what everyone says, you see . ”
What do you mean by everyone? Please stop it with your smug face .
“I’m going to start, okay? I’ll start counting down… 3, 2, 1, nooooow! ——Your hands are now stuck together . ”
“…Uwaaah, it’s true, this really is the real thing (monotone) . ” [1]
It actually had no effect whatsoever . However, she’s trying so hard to do it that it would be a pity if it didn’t work, so I ended up playing along .
“Eheheh . I did it . It’s the result of all that practice!”
Isn’t there more to hypnotism than just this?
Still, I couldn’t say it in front of such an innocent smile…
“This is just the first level . ”
So, there’s still more?
“I-I see . What comes next…?”
“If it was done more strongly, you would never be able to separate them until I undo the spell . ”
I can already separate them though . At the current moment, my arms are crossed due to my own will .
Rather than hypnotism, isn’t this more like mental suggestions?
“Seiji-kun, you’re going to have a hard time using the bathroom . ”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to properly support it . ”
Ahahah, Hiiragi-chan laughed enjoyably .
My my . Being the playmate for her is such a big job .
She read some sort of book, and then once again looked as if she was planning something .
I hope she doesn’t do something along the lines of turning me into an animal . For the mind of a middle-aged man, that might be a little tough…
Doesn’t this type of thing seem like it would work on Hiiragi-chan rather than me?
“Let me borrow that book for a bit . I’ll try casting something on you . ”
I happened to forget and stretched out my hand .
“Huh? You separated your hands…”
“…”
“So, it’s been released . ”
I gently averted my eyes .
“… So it seems . ”
“Well, that’s fine, but can you even cast it on me? It takes a level of talent, you know? I practiced quite a bit after all . ”
When she talks about it like that, it really makes me want to try . After following the same steps, and doing the same things—
“Seiji-kun, if it’s like this, my arms… huh? … Fuunnnnnnnn! H-huh…?”
She’s super caught in it! She put enough effort into it to make her face red, but there was no sign of separation .
No matter how much she shook, rubbed it with water, used my hands to warm it up, none of it worked .
“W-what should I do…? If I’m like this, I won’t be able to… use the bathroom…”
“At that time, I’ll at least release it!”
If she leaks she would definitely cry .
It probably didn’t have anything to do with me . It was just that Hiiragi-chan was the type to be easily hypnotized .
When I flipped through the hypnotism book, as expected, there were some about turning into animals . These are ones that you would often see on television .
Let’s test it to see if it’ll work .
“Haruksan, from now on, you will turn into a cat . Relax . Breathe deeply, in… out… in… out… relax… I will snap my fingers, and when I do, you will become a cat—”
Pachin, I snapped my fingers .
Gakun, Hiiragi-chan looked downward… It seems that it worked .
“How do you feel?”
Using cat paw hands, Hiiragi-chan touched my leg .
“Nyaaah~”
Now that I remember, Natsumi-chan had also turned into a cat before . Voluntarily .
Rolling around while wanting to be spoiled, she came onto my lap . It became a lap pillow as she rubbed her cheek against my thighs .
“…… . ”
There isn’t that much difference from usual…
“Nyaaan ♡”
She’s only speaking like a cat, but everything else is pretty much the same! However, her face and gestures were all that of a cat .
How am I supposed to release this? I looked at the book and confirmed the steps .
When I firmly grabbed onto Hiiragi-chan’s shoulders, she tilted her head .
“Unyaah?”
Dammit . She’s so cute .
“I’ll release it now, okay? 3, 2, 1—”
Pachin . I clapped both hands in front of her as if I was trying to trick a cat .
“—Haah . What… what did I turn into?”
“You turned into a cat . ”
“A cat? There’s no way…”
I should have taken a video .
“Haruksan, what type of hypnotism were you going to cast on me earlier . ”
“I was going to do… this one . ”
When she opened the book to show me, there was a hypnotism to strengthen emotions . As expected, rather than hypnotism, it’s just mental suggestions .
“I thought I would make Seiji-kun love me even more!”
“When you say that straight to my face, it’s somewhat embarrassing…”
“E-even saying it has made me a little embarrassed…”
“But still, isn’t there no need to do that?”
“Eh? Why is that?”
I kissed Hiiragi-chan, who was making a blank expression .
“B-because it’s like this . ”
“… Because it’s like this . Even if you say that, I don’t get it…”
Even though she definitely understood me, Hiiragi-chan looked at me with upturned eyes .
“Even without casting something like that on me, I love you . T-that’s why…”
Uwah, super embarrassing . I could feel myself blushing . However, Hiiragi-chan was the same .
“M-me too… I also love Seiji-kunn…”
I unconsciously became embarrassed and smiled . Hiiragi-chan also let out an embarrassed smile .
Our faces got closer, and as if to confirm each other’s existences, we slowly kissed . As I was trying to wrap my hands around her back, I accidentally touched her breasts . Ah, that’s bad .
Surprised, Hiiragi-chan’s body trembled .
It wasn’t on purpose, it wasn’t—
“…… . . ”
…? H-huh?
She froze for a bit, but didn’t say anything .
She didn’t teasingly call me a pervert, nor did she tell me to stop in anyway .
What does that mean? I couldn’t understand and also froze .
Because of that, an awkward silence continued for a bit .
“… I-I should go cook…”
Hiiragi-chan, while blushing, left the sofa for the kitchen as if running away .
——Being about this forceful should be just about right .
I remembered that the present Rei-chan had said that to me before .
“… J-just now, was that…?”
If I pushed her down like that, is it possible that—
