Enchanted by the Power of the Evil Eye ~The Harem School Life Crafted by a Girl Falling Under My Hypnosis~ - Chapter 128: At the Aquarium…

Chapter 128: At the Aquarium…

(MC POV)

“It’s pretty spacious inside, huh?”

“Y-Yeah…”

The aquarium is dimly lit, creating a great atmosphere—perfect for a date.

Sayaka seems a bit restless. If this were my Sayaka, she’d be thrilled at the thought of exposing herself in the dark, hoping someone might see.

But Kurokami Sayaka is nervous about being here with her “crush.”

(Maybe without her perverted side, she’s just a normal girl…)

That thought makes this Kurokami Sayaka irresistibly cute.

“Anything you want to see?”

“Not really… I just wanted to check out the vibe here…”

She fidgets, still clinging to some pride.

“Got it. Since we’re here, I want to see a bunch of stuff.”

“W-Well… You can go look on your own…”

Her face darkens slightly as she tries to let go of my hand. I grip it tightly.

She looks at me, surprised.

“It’s boring alone. Mind keeping me company?”

She nods eagerly, her face lighting up…

Right now, her mind’s probably creating memories like, “I fell for Kageyama-kun because of his kindness…”

Her eyes are those of a girl in love.

This time, I lead her by the hand.

“I want to see the penguins first. They’re cute, my favorite.”

I flash her my brightest smile.

“I-I… like them too… maybe…”

Her face flushes red, mumbling shyly.

“My crush likes what I like… I’m so happy.” That’s the look on her face.

Peering into the tank from above, we see penguins swimming energetically.

“Cute…”

Sayaka mutters, her eyes sparkling.

I’m used to her lewd gazes, so this feels so fresh.

“Can you come over here?”

I pull her hand, and she makes a cute face, like she wanted to keep watching.

(Your character’s all over the place now.)

“Oh, more penguins over here.”

She mutters, looking at a side tank, calling them “penguin-san”…

“Look, this is what I wanted to see.”

I stop and look up.

“Ah…”

She lets out a girlish gasp… My heart skips.

“Penguins actually fly, you know?”

Above us, the penguin tank looks like they’re soaring through the sky.

Sayaka gazes up, entranced, her lips slightly parted in awe—a completely different expression from her usual lustful one… So captivating…

(I want to kiss her… But not now…)

I want to keep seeing Kurokami Sayaka’s smile. If I revert her to my Sayaka, I won’t see it again.

If I’d mustered the courage to talk to the unattainable flower back then, could I have seen this moment?

Could I have become her real boyfriend before she fell?

No way. She’d have cut me down, ending my school life.

But that impossible future is right here… The future Kurokami Sayaka would never have chosen…

It’s thrilling… The best… Nothing beats the rush of twisting someone’s life.

Her life is entirely mine now.

“What’s with that creepy stare?”

She looks at me, a bit weirded out, but it feels like we’re closer now.

“Oh, sorry. You were just so cute, I got lost staring.”

“W-What? Are you stupid?”

“The penguins.”

Her face turns bright red—she thought I meant her.

“Y-Yeah… The penguins are cute…”

Now she’s sulking… So fun…

Having these cliché conversations, controlling her emotions and feelings… This power is the best.

It makes this fake romance so enjoyable.

“What’s wrong? Let’s move on.”

I pull her hand as she sulks.

“Oh, right…”

“It’s fun, coming to the aquarium with you, Kurokami-san. Thanks!”

I beam at her. See? You’re happy, right?

Her face brightens, a mix of joy and embarrassment, so endearing.

(Exactly the reaction I expected… Good job mustering the courage to invite me…)

Her feelings, her emotions, all moving as I want… She’s so lovable.

“Pretty…”

We move to a massive tank filled with colorful fish swimming in a mesmerizing, dreamlike display.

Honestly, I’m not big on fish, but Sayaka’s entranced.

Her profile, lit by the tank’s glow, is far prettier to me.

“Beautiful, huh?”

“Yeah, beautiful.”

She flashes me a bright smile, then blushes and forces a straight face.

“Y-Yeah… It’s beautiful… Even you think so, Mamoru-kun…”

“Even Mamoru-kun”… That ticks me off, so I decide to tease her.

“Huh? No, I meant you, Kurokami-san.”

“W-What? What are you saying?”

She hides her face with her arm, turning away, her flushed cheeks and slightly sweaty neck enticing.

Still, she doesn’t let go of my hand, her palm slightly sweaty.

“I’m gonna hit the bathroom…”

She lets go and hurries off toward the restroom.

So embarrassed… So cute…

“You waited for me.”

She’s back to her composed look, probably calming herself in the bathroom.

“Of course. We’re exploring together, right?”

Her lips twitch upward, her composure cracking.

“How long are you gonna keep up the polite talk?”

She tries to sound calm, forcing her mouth straight.

“Huh? I can’t talk casually to someone like you, Kurokami-san. Being here with you is already unbelievable.”

“Why not…?”

Her face turns a bit lonely, and my chest stings.

(Even in this roleplay, seeing her like this hurts a bit.)

“If I talked casually to you, imagine what people would think…”

I play up my self-deprecation.

“It’s not like that… We’re classmates… It’s fine, right?”

“Huh? What? I didn’t catch that.”

Part of it was mumbled, unclear.

“We’re friends…”

She fidgets… So shy… God, she’s insanely cute…

“Friends? Us?”

“Of course! Why else would I invite you?”

She suddenly shouts, drawing stares from other visitors.

Embarrassed, she bows, muttering, “Nothing, sorry.”

Oh no… I’m gonna cum…

Her cuteness almost sends me running for new pants.

This gradual closeness is so fun.
