Chapter 3: I Can Feel Both of Us Growing, That’s Right!
“Kukuku… this feeling’s been a while.”
I’m fully aware I’m grinning like a creep, but I’m keeping it subtle enough not to look suspicious.
A handsome guy? Nah—more like handsome trash.
After all the chaos with that trash, my after-school date with Matsuri, and running into Murakami, it’s finally Saturday. Since morning, I’ve been scouting for a new target—someone other than Matsuri and the girls.
“Not like I’m desperate, but… variety’s the spice of life, y’know?”
Matsuri, Saika, and Emu are more than enough to satisfy me, but… well, I’ve got this power now. Might as well mix things up, right?
“…Problem is, no one’s catching my eye.”
Matsuri’s class is full of beauties—gorgeous faces, killer bodies—but… nah. I see pretty girls everywhere, yet none really click.
“Maybe… I’ve been around Matsuri and the others too much. My standards’ve gone up.”
That’s probably it. I mean, I’ve been doing just short of lewd stuff with those three, and even outside of that, we’ve gotten close. I’m plenty satisfied already.
“…Oh? Wait, that’s—”
While I’m lost in thought,
I spot two women walking toward me. One looks familiar.
“That lady… pretty sure she’s…”
Acting on instinct, I approach them.
With practiced ease, I hypnotize both and guide them to a secluded spot to get a better look at the older woman.
“No mistake… she’s the one I hypnotized before!”
“…………”
Neither the woman nor the girl holding her hand react to my words—which, duh, is the normal response. But it just makes me think Matsuri and the others are the weird ones here.
“Nostalgic, huh… Back then, I hypnotized her just to test my powers. She mentioned her little sister had a competition coming up.”
Gorgeous face, huge chest… prime target material.
But back then, I let her go—figured I couldn’t interfere with something that important to her sister was going to take place, so I quickly released the hypnosis and said goodbye to her.
“So this must be the little sister?”
“Yes, this is her.”
When I ask, the older woman answers.
Compared to her sister, the girl’s still developing, but with those genes, she’ll definitely grow into a stunning beauty with an ample chest. She’ll probably be crazy popular.
“Did you make it to the competition in time back then?”
“Yes… I did.”
“Ah, good, good.”
“……You’re my lifesaver.”
“……Huh?”
I tilt my head when she suddenly calls me that.
“That day, I didn’t remember meeting you. But the feeling of talking to someone lingered, and it kept bothering me. I kept stopping and looking back.”
“Uh… huh?”
“Then, right before the competition venue… right after I stopped like that, a steel beam from a construction site crashed right in front of me.”
“Wha—!?”
That happened?
If someone had died, it might’ve made the news, but since I never heard anything, it must’ve been minor.
Still, calling me her lifesaver feels like a stretch.
“I dunno about ‘lifesaver’ though…”
“No, it’s true. Didn’t I say? Talking to you made me stop. That’s why I’m alive.”
“W-well, I guess…”
“So thank you. Because of you, I made it to her competition… I got to give her that bouquet when she won first prize.”
“……Kinda embarrassing, huh.”
Honestly, I don’t feel like I deserve credit.
I wasn’t even there when it happened. If anything, it was just her luck.
“No need for thanks. I’m the scum who hypnotized you to try all sorts of things. If anything, call it a miracle from your love for your sister.”
“You…”
“Seriously, just let me say this! Why am I being called a lifesaver when I was this close to doing perverted stuff to you!? “
“O-okay…”
I blurted out with a little more forceand the sister finally nods.
“……Um.”
“Yeah?”
The younger sister speaks up.
Her monotone voice, just like her sister’s under hypnosis, reminds me again—Matsuri’s group’s the weird ones here.
“What’s up?”
“Thank you, mister. Because of you, I get to have fun with my sister like this.”
“I told you—I didn’t do anything!”
First the big sister, now the little one’s making me look like a saint?!
Out of the corner of my eye, I swear the older sister’s laughing at me now… Ugh! Cut it out already!
“……Fine, I’ll accept your thanks… but I swear I wasn’t trying to be noble!”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Thank you, mister.”
“I said—sigh… Anyway, take care, both of you.”
I walk away before releasing the hypnosis.
“……Never thought I’d save a life with this power.”

My motives back then were anything but pure, yet here I am, thanked for a lucky accident… Still, I’m genuinely glad she’s okay.
“Could’ve at least let me cop a feel as thanks…”
Too late—they’re already gone.
“Heh. Lucky break for you, lady. But next time we meet, I’m definitely getting handsy with those curves… maybe.”
Alright, time to hunt for a new target!
I resume my search for undiscovered beauties and their chests, but nothing clicks. Hours pass as I wander, eventually reaching the crowded station—
where I hear a commotion that sounded like an argument between a man and a woman …..
“Huh?”
There were quite a few people watching and horses running around, so I got curious and went closer to see a man in a suit and a woman in full gal fashion, with a cop trying to mediate.
“I didn’t do anything!”
“Haah?! I saw you grab my ass! That’s why I chased you here!”
“You’re making this up!”
“No way! You definitely did it!”
A station altercation—probably a groping incident.
The cop’s struggling to calm things, with the man resisting fiercely.
(False accusations happen a lot with this stuff, right?)
I’ve heard of guys losing everything over lies.
If this guy’s innocent and the woman’s lying… Unlikely, but why not use my power to settle it?
“……This’ll do.”
The trio doesn’t notice me approaching. To bystanders,
I’m just another passerby… Time to hear the truth.
I activate my partner, hypnotizing both at once.
The sudden silence from the previously noisy pair leaves the cop bewildered—kinda funny.
“W-what’s… going on?”
the men do not respond to the policeman’s question.
The situation in which the men do not blink for a moment must look eerie not only to the police officer but also to onlookers.
Considering the possibility of being suspected if I let this go on too long, I pretended to drop something and got even closer to the men before giving them an order.
“Tell the truth. No lies to the officer.”
That’s all it takes.
“I really didn’t do anything.”
“He didn’t grope me. I was just pissed and wanted to take it out on him.”
“Wha—!?”
Game-changing confessions.
The police officer looked stunned, but then he started questioning the woman again and again, and he seemed to have come to the conclusion that the man was completely innocent.
Moreover, since many people were watching this exchange, the woman could not take back her statement and there was no way to escape from it.
“……Well, that’s that. Release.”
I undo the hypnosis and slip away.
Behind me, chaos erupts—shrieks included—but I ignore it.
“Still, if I hadn’t been here, he’d be the one screwed.”
My power exposed the truth, but without it, the lie might’ve won. I feel sorry for that woman, but let’s just say it’s tough luck for her, but she picked the wrong day to to have been spotted by an outsider like me.
“No offense, but I’ll pass on people like that.”
People who try to humiliate people with lies are scum, and those who do it just for their own convenience to relieve stress are even more scum.
“……Hah. Hypocritical coming from me, but whatever.”
Alright, enough of that—back to hunting!
“Target~ target~ where’s my target~? …Huh!?”
Just then, my radar blares.
A woman with long black hair and wearing a white one-piece dress, whose overwhelming volume I could not miss when she stopped and turned her body to the side.
This one—not letting her get away!
With such a feeling, I run toward her, but as I get closer to her, her figure becomes clearer and clearer. …… until I pause.
(Wait… …… I think I know this back figure.)
Turns out, my hunch was right. The reason she stood out so much? The answer hits me instantly.
“……Saika?”
When I called her name from right behind, she turned around.
Her hair swayed softly, and along with it, her chest bounced lightly—confirming it was indeed Saika.
“Ah, Kai-kun?”
“Oh… what a coincidence?”
“……………”
Since we’d run into each other like this, I stepped closer—but Saika just stared at me with wide, unblinking eyes.
Just as I started feeling uneasy, wondering what was wrong, she reached out and grasped my hand.
“…Hello, Kai-kun.”
