Chapter 7: Youth is the Best!
♡ ♡ ♡
Those who use the hypnosis app will find no happiness. Why? Because the user ignores the heart of the hypnotized person and binds them.
However, the power of this app is not eternal. The more it is used, the weaker its effect becomes—and eventually, hatred will swell, and misfortune will befall the user.

“…?”
I felt a strange sensation, as if someone had whispered in my ear.
Looking around, I didn’t see anyone who seemed likely to do such a thing… Actually, if there were, it would be scary.
“Phew… Well, here I am again.”
After school, I visited that maid cafe.
“Today is the last day.”
That’s right, today is Honma’s last day working here.
The stalker issue has been resolved, so there’s no threat, but Honma still decided to quit her job at the cafe.
“Sorry, Shougo, I’ll go ahead.”
Originally, Shougo and I had planned to visit together, but today is a special day, so please forgive me.
“Let’s go!”
…But this is my first time coming alone and my second visit, so I’m a bit nervous.
I clapped my cheeks to psyche myself up and stepped into the cafe… and then.
“You came, Senpai.”
“Hey.”
Of course, the person I requested was Honma.
We hadn’t arranged anything, and I hadn’t made any promises, but since it was her last day, she thought I might come.
(Though, I did talk about this with Honma while she was under hypnosis…)
Actually, I’ve been thinking about something recently.
The girls controlled by my partner are obedient and never disobey me. They don’t remember our interactions either.
But maybe their memories remain… or perhaps in some other form… like a dream-like concept.
“…Phew.”
No, I must be overthinking it. I shook my head.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, sorry, I was just lost in thought.”
Since I’m back at the maid cafe, I shouldn’t get too caught up in my thoughts… I probably won’t come back here unless Shougo invites me, especially after Honma leaves.
“Welcome back, Master.”
“…Still a bit embarrassing.”
“Hehe, please place your order.”
Honma smiled beautifully.
I quickly glanced at the menu and, since it was evening, ordered the same iced coffee as last time.
“Right away.”
“It’s hot outside.”
“Yes… I’m dreading the real summer heat.”
Soon, I received a perfectly chilled iced coffee.
Honma and I recited the embarrassing spell again, but since it was my second time, I was much more into it.
“…How have you been lately?”
I asked, making sure to check our surroundings.
This is the first time I’ve talked to Honma in such close proximity since that day in the empty classroom… I still want to check up on her.
“I’m fine. Nothing has happened since then.”
“Sorry for asking every time we meet. I know it’s annoying, but I can’t help but worry.”
“It’s not annoying at all. I’m grateful that you care. In fact, I should be thanking you.”
“I see… Well, that’s good. But you know, our meeting was quite unusual. As your senpai, it’s only natural for me to worry about you.”
I’ve said it many times, but I think I’ve already received more than enough in return.
“You’re unusual, Senpai.”
“Am I?”
“Normally, someone would take advantage of the situation and ask for favors or threaten you to obey them.”
“Hey, Honma, do you realize your thinking might be a bit twisted?”
Honma laughed and said she was joking, but knowing her preferences, I can’t believe her smile.
“Will you help me again if something happens?”
Suddenly, Honma asked me that.
Without hesitation, I nodded and said, “Of course.”
“Thank you so much…!”
“No problem.”
After all, I have my partner… I can do things that ordinary people can’t!
“Senpai, would you like a refill?”
“Yes, please.”
“Sure… Oh?”

At that moment, Honma tilted her head in surprise.
Her gaze was directed towards the entrance of the cafe… I thought it was just a regular customer, but Honma’s reaction was a bit strange.
When I looked in that direction, I saw someone I never expected to be there.
“Why…?”
“Welcome back, Miss!”
Miss… That means the customer is a woman.
I thought “Miss” was used for both men and women, but in this maid cafe, women are addressed as “Miss”… But that’s not the point!
The reason I was stunned—it was because the customers were Matsuri and Saika.
“Aisaka and Agatsuma…?”
“Oh, you know them?”
“Yes… They’re students, and for some reason, I feel like I know them very well.”
“???”
Honma’s reaction puzzled me, but the two who entered the cafe looked straight at me.
A maid approached them, but Honma quickly went over to them… and brought them to my table.
“This is their first time, so what do you think, Senpai?”
“Huh? You mean together?”
“Normally, it wouldn’t be allowed, but today my wishes are practically guaranteed.”
Oh, right… That makes sense.
I had forgotten about that in my conversation with Honma, and it’s not something I can argue about, but it still feels a bit lonely.
“Um… Hey, Kai!”
“We saw Kai-kun entering the maid cafe.”
I never expected to be seen and blushed instantly.
But… If it were the old me, I would have come up with some excuse not to be seen entering such a place by someone I know.
But the current me is different… So the words that came out of my mouth reflected my growth.
“Honma… Today is her last day working here, so I came to see her off. The maid cafe atmosphere is different from usual, but it’s a great place with a really good vibe.”
“I see. This is my first time at a maid cafe.”
“Me too.”
Oh, then we can enjoy it together.
Matsuri and Saika sat down next to me, and Honma explained the cafe’s rules to them. However, I tilted my head in confusion.
(Somehow… they seem to get along better than I thought?)
The atmosphere between the three of them made me think that.
They probably know each other’s names, but even with the difference in grades, they don’t usually talk to each other… When they’re under the influence of my partner, they chat normally, but in their normal state, they shouldn’t be acquaintances… Hmm?
“What’s wrong?”
“Kai-kun?”
“Senpai?”
