Chapter 183
Suddenly, Sibylla had her body taken away.
She panicked and raised her voice.
To be precise, it was the cry of her soul.
[What are you doing? Give me back my body!!]
‘Is this what hypnosis can do? All the way to this extent?!’
She herself was an S-Class Awakened.
Her physical abilities might be a bit weak, but she still ranked among the top ten Awakened in terms of overall power.
When analyzing the results of her ability evaluation, the results showed that she was on par with Gong.
So, despite being Yujin, she had assumed he couldn’t easily use hypnosis on her.
But now, beyond hypnosis, he had taken complete control of her body?
She couldn’t keep her mouth shut in astonishment.
His abilities... His endless potential terrified her.
[Don’t worry, Sibylla. I’ll just check Pyemon’s location and return your body soon.]
‘Why is this so noisy when it’s not even wearing down? You don’t need to be this loud.’
Yujin, on the other hand, remained calm.
His unique ability: ‘Perfect Hypnosis’.
Though it was commonly known for hypnotizing people, his real power lay in controlling souls.
For him, taking over a body wasn’t a difficult task.
Sure, it was a bit tricky, but much easier than reading someone’s memories.
After all, Sibylla had been under his control for two days.
Taking her body was effortless.
To exaggerate a little, it was even easier than basic civilian hypnosis.
It was a terrifying experience for Sibylla to have her body taken so easily.
[Is this really necessary?! If Yujin just went into the restroom himself...]
[If a man enters the restroom, Pyemon might run away.]
[......]
[And if Sibylla is under her hypnosis, would she not be caught off guard as well?]
Sibylla tried desperately to get her body back, but it didn’t work.
Yujin was fully fired up.
After weeks of searching for Pyemon, he was ready to put an end to it.
[Then what about you? While you’re controlling my body, yours is defenseless...]
[Ah. That’s fine. Watch.]
Swoosh... thump thump.
[What’s that small, cute thing?]
[It’s called Hypno-chan. It’s like a pet that helps me with my hypnosis. While I search, it will help hide me.]
Adding one more thing.
By now, Hypno-chan had perched on top of Yujin’s head.
It stood proudly, declaring that it would protect its master.
As a result, Sibylla stopped talking.
She couldn’t find any more reasons to stop Yujin.
[....]
[I understand you’re scared, but it’s okay. We’ll finish the search quickly.]
Step, step.
Thus began the search of the women’s restroom.
A man, dressed as a woman, confidently stepped into the forbidden zone.
His steps were bold, completely lacking in the usual femininity.@@@@
‘Ugh, why is the lower half so exposed? How do women even walk in these things...?’
[Yu, Yujin! Walk carefully!]
[....? It’s fine. I’m sure I won’t trip.]
[That’s not what I mean... Ugh.]
‘Did you forget you’re not wearing underwear right now?’
Sibylla was increasingly agitated by just his walk.
She was terrified of being seen by others, but...
Naturally, Yujin was completely oblivious.
Was he feeling too breezy in the lower half?
The skirt at least provided some ventilation.
But why did it feel strangely empty down there?
Yujin didn’t even realize the lack of his own 刀.
He was completely unaware, as always, when it came to women-related things.
It was as if his attention completely disappeared when it came to matters of the opposite sex.
Squeak. Step, step.
[If you move faster, I’ll return your body quickly. Just bear with it for a little longer.]
At any rate, they arrived at the first restroom.
Yujin’s and Sibylla’s eyes narrowed.
A locked stall was immediately visible.
[Look, there’s an unlocked one, isn’t there?]
[Oh, huh? There wasn’t one just a moment ago.]
Kneel.
[Our town drum, are you here?]
Without hesitation, Yujin immediately knelt.
He peered under the door’s small gap, inspecting the locked stall.
...In a very masculine posture, naturally.
[....!!!!? What are you doing with someone else’s body!!!]
‘If I lie down like this, the moment someone enters...!!!’
Sibylla’s soul screamed in a high-pitched voice.
Yujin, moving as quickly as possible, had his back to the restroom door.
From that position, when he bent down to the floor?
His backside would be facing the door!
If someone opened it, his face would meet hers in a very compromising position.
No matter who it was, this was embarrassing.
Already branded as the Lemonade Dispenser, now she’d be mistaken for a perverted exhibitionist in front of ordinary people.
[Huh? Why?]
[Th-the posture...]
[Ah, is it because the floor might be dirty? Don’t worry, I cleaned it all yesterday, so it’s still sparkling clean.]
[....]
[Anyway, that seems like the cleaning supply closet. There’s no toilet there.]
Step, step. Grab.Whoooosh!!!Swoosh.Squeak.Kneel.
[What should we do, Sibylla?]
[...What?]
[Should I call my mentor? Or not?]
I asked, almost as if I were borrowing a cat’s paw.
Explaining my goal of becoming the new S-Class top after defeating my mentor.
Sibylla’s response came in three seconds.
[Of course, we should call Ninomiya.]
[But the advertising effect...]
[If Yujin beats Ninomiya, that’ll be enough. Everyone will be dying to talk about it.]
[....]
She had a point.
I didn’t really need to do anything dramatic. The news would spread fast enough on its own.
A smile spread across my face.
[Alright. Then, let me just send a quick message.]
Tap, tap.
I picked up my phone.
It was the same one I had been holding since earlier.
I quietly began to contact my mentor.
With this, the hunt for Pyemon would be over...
[...Wait, Yujin? Wouldn’t it be better to do it standing up?]
[Huh?]
[Well, the posture is a bit... odd.]
Out of nowhere, a question popped up.
A smile tugged at the corner of my lips.
How could he not know something so basic? It was a mocking thought.
[When requesting reinforcements, you should keep watching the monster until they arrive. We need to be prepared for an emergency.]
[So, you’ll stay like this...?]
[Yes. I won’t move a single millimeter until my mentor arrives.]
[...How many feet is that?]
[I mean I won’t move an inch.]
[No, that’s not okay!!!!]
[Huh?]
But that was just for a moment.
My fingers paused mid-typing, confused by the sudden strong objection.
[Why the sudden change?]
[It’s... well... If someone comes in now...]
[...?]
I waited lazily.
Pyemon didn’t seem like she was going to make a move, so I was letting Sibylla express herself if she had something to say.
[....]
[What’s wrong with my posture?]
[....]
[Come on, say something. It’s fine if you speak in English.]
But Sibylla remained silent.
I couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
So, I sent the message I had just written...
[Thinking about it, I don’t think catching Pyemon here is wise.]
[Huh?]
[Even if Ninomiya sneaks up on her, if she notices, she’ll run. It seems better to ambush her when she lets her guard down during the sparring match.]
What was this? Her opinion had changed from earlier.
I sighed in disbelief.
‘Well, she does make a good point.’
In a situation where I could easily use my mana, it was definitely safer to ambush her head-on.
Though, it felt like a bit of a drawn-out excuse, but still.
I quickly got up.
[If that’s what you think, then we’ll catch her later.]
Shuffle.
‘Ugh, my skirt is completely flipped over.’
I also adjusted my clothes a bit.
I didn’t think she’d care about the visible underwear...
But since I’m borrowing her body, I should be careful.
[Huff... ...]
[Hmm? Why are you suddenly sighing?]
[...Someone as clueless as you wouldn’t get it anyway.]
[Clueless?]
[Never mind.]
For some reason, Sibylla seemed to be complaining.
But, whatever.
After that, I left the restroom without hesitation.
I planted something subtle for Pyemon, who was just beyond.
‘I don’t know what you’re doing in there, but wait for it. You won’t have much longer to live.’
With a deep, undeniable contempt, I left the restroom, revealing my disdain for the monster that was beyond saving.
***
Meanwhile, inside the locked stall, a girl sat quietly, taking deep breaths.
Just as Yujin had confirmed, it was Pyemon.
"Hoo, hoo..."
‘Why is my heart pounding like this? Is this what love feels like? The real me... falling for a fragile and delicate man with no chest?’
But now, her thoughts were a far cry from Yujin's expectations.
It had only been a few hours since her grand public confession.
