Enchanted by the Power of the Evil Eye ~The Harem School Life Crafted by a Girl Falling Under My Hypnosis~ - Chapter 30: Declaration and Sudden Turn

Chapter 30: Declaration and Sudden Turn

“Now that we’ve got Asuka, how about getting those girls too?”

As I pointed, Yuna looked…

In the direction of a photo of Asuka with her bandmates.

“My… bandmates…?”

Asuka seemed shocked, her cat-like speech dropping.

Guess she’s resistant to that idea, though she doesn’t have the right to refuse…

“A, ah, ahh… I’m so happy… To think my precious bandmates can all be by Master’s side… I’m so happy…”

Asuka’s eyes welled up with joy, and Yuna nodded repeatedly, looking satisfied.

(Well, of course…)

“So, you’ll ‘introduce’ them to us, right?”

I stroked Asuka’s head, and Yuna gave me a displeased look.

“Yes! Of course! Should I call them right now?!”

Asuka pulled out her phone, the lock screen showing the same photo of her with her bandmates.

“Not yet. I want to enjoy Asuka more first.”

“Yes! Happily, Nya! Master.”

Asuka bowed respectfully.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“It’s about time I start moving for real.”

“Pufu! Start what?”

Yuna, who had been sucking on my thing, looked up at me.

Asuka, in her cat ears, was asleep on the futon.

“Building a harem. Gathering cute girls to make my own harem.”

Yuna, Asuka, Yukino, and maybe Minazuki-senpai… That’s way too few.

With this kind of power, it’d be a waste not to use it. I need more.

“Sounds great! Let’s do it! I want tons of cute girls too!”

Yuna, of course, agreed… I’ll make her work hard for it…

(Fufu, things are gonna get busy.)

I covered my face with both hands—this smile isn’t for them to see…

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I left the two girls having fun together and headed home first.

(That was fun. Maybe I’ll have Yukino entertain me too.)

Humming to myself, I walked along, lost in thought.

‘Thud!’

“Ow?!”

Something hit my head. I touched it—a slimy sensation… Wet… Blood?

“A, gaa?!”

Realizing I was bleeding, intense pain shot through me, and I collapsed. The taste of iron filled my mouth.

I instinctively clutched my head, but—

“Gofu?!”

A blow to my stomach… I didn’t know what was happening but barely managed to open my eyes… Who?

A figure in a full-face helmet and black tracksuit stood there.

Holding a wooden sword… Did they hit me with that? I might… die…

The figure raised the sword and struck me—once, twice, three times.

I shielded my head as best I could, but my body was battered…

(Random attacker? This is bad, bad…)

My vision started to white out… My consciousness…

“Take that, you scum! Getting cocky, huh? Stay away from Yuna!”

Thinking I’d passed out, the figure spat those words and left.

(Yu…na…?)

My consciousness melted into white…

(Akamine POV)

(Yesterday was so much fun, hehe.)

“Oh? Yuna, you’re in a great mood this morning. Something good happen?”

Kurokami Sayaka-chan called out to me, smiling. As always, she’s such a beauty! Her long, silky black hair smells amazing.

“Hm? I had a blast playing with Asuka-chan yesterday. Right?”

“Yeah, it got pretty wild…”

Asuka-chan answered curtly, fiddling with her phone.

(Good, good, she’s acting perfectly… So cute!)

Asuka-chan was pretending, behaving like her old self around others, as instructed.

The way she glances at me nervously is irresistible.

She must want to go “nya nya” but is holding back…

“Huh? You should’ve invited me! I was so bored. What, did you go to karaoke or something?”

Sayaka-chan pouted, looking annoyed.

She only shows this cute side to us.

“Sorry! I’ll invite you next time, okay?”

“…Promise?”

Sayaka-chan looked up at me with big eyes, pressing her hands together as I nodded.

(Ugh, so cute! Don’t worry, Sayaka-chan, I’ll make sure you join us ♡.)

“Good morning!”

Yagami-kun entered the classroom energetically, as usual. Is Mamoru with him?

“Good morning! …Huh? Alone? Where’s Kageyama-kun…?”

“Didn’t see him today. Probably late? You worried?”

Yagami-kun scratched his head, his face a bit red. Is he sick?

“Oh, uh, no. It’s just, he’s usually here by now, so…”

A cold chill ran down my spine. I had a bad feeling.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Okay, that’s it for homeroom! Sorry, but due to the teachers’ schedules, clubs and committees are canceled today, so go straight home. Goodbye!”

Ren-chan-sensei said, leaving the classroom in a hurry.

Mamoru never showed up… My messages to him stayed unread…

“Um, Ren-chan-sensei!”

I called out to her in the hallway.

“Akamine-san, what is it? Go home quickly.”

Ren-chan-sensei puffed out her cheeks, urging me to leave.

She’s acting playful, but she’s sweating and looks anxious, her face pale.

“Uh, um… Kageyama-kun was absent today. Do you know what happened?”

“Huh? W-What do you mean?”

Her voice cracked—she’s clearly off.

“Is he sick? If so, maybe I’ll visit him.”

“Oh, Kageyama-kun… Sick… Yeah, it’s like the flu! Don’t visit, you might catch it. Go home, okay? I’ll call his mom later and let you know tomorrow.”

Ren-chan… That attitude gives it away…

“Okay, got it… I’ll go home… Please tell me tomorrow.”

“Alright. Goodbye.”

Relieved, Ren-chan waved her hands vigorously—so obvious, but cute…

“Goodbye.”

I returned to the classroom.

“Where’d you go? Ready to head home?”

Sayaka-chan and Asuka-chan were waiting for me.

Asuka-chan was acting calm, but her teary eyes looked at me anxiously.

To Asuka-chan, Mamoru is her precious Master. She must be worried, not seeing him and getting no replies.

That’s how I made her…

“Sorry, I had to ask the teacher something. It’s fine now, let’s go.”

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After parting with Sayaka-chan, I found myself in front of Mamoru’s house.

Asuka-chan wanted to come along, but I ordered her to go home.

“Oh? A friend of Mamo-kun?”

Yukino, about to enter the neighboring house, called out to me.

(Oh! Right, this is my first time meeting this Yukino.)

“Yes. Kageyama-kun was absent from school today, so I came to check on him… Oh, I’m Akamine Yuna, from his class.”

I greeted her with a “nice to meet you.”

“Oh, I see. How polite. I’m Kisaragi Yukino, I live next door. Nice to meet you. I’ve been close with Mamo… Kageyama-kun’s family for a long time.”

Yukino-san responded courteously.

Looking at her again, she’s such a beautiful older sister type, greeting even a younger girl like me properly.

To think she can get so wild… Remembering that made my thighs tingle. I’ll have to ask Mamoru to lend her to me next time.

“But… I don’t think Mamo-kun can see anyone right now…”

Yukino-san spoke carefully, studying my face.

Something definitely happened. She seems to be probing to see if I know anything.

(Maybe I should’ve gotten the keyword… Alright!)

“Um… Please don’t tell anyone, but… I’m dating Kageyama-kun…”

“What?! Really?! I never heard Mamo-kun had a girlfriend…”

(Well, it’s not a lie. If it comes to it, I can have him erase her memory later.)

Yukino-san’s eyes widened, her hand covering her mouth in shock. To think her childhood friend was seen that way… Poor Mamoru…

“Y-Yes. We didn’t want to be teased at school, and we wanted to cherish our time together, so we decided to keep it a secret. But… we just started dating, and now I can’t reach him… sniff…”

I covered my face with both hands, faking tears as best I could.

“I see…”

Yukino-san looked troubled… One more push.

“But I’ll go home for today… I’ll wait until I hear from him.”

I bowed to Yukino-san and started to walk away.

“Wait! Can we talk inside my house for a bit?”

Yukino-san called out to me just as I turned to leave, falling right into my plan.

“Oh, yes… That’s fine…”

“Come in, then. Here, use this to wipe your tears if you want.”

Yukino-san handed me a handkerchief as she turned to face me.

(Huh? Am I… actually crying…?)

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Sit wherever you like. I’ll get some drinks. Tea okay?”

“Yes, that’s fine. Thank you.”

Yukino-san gestured for me to sit on the sofa and went to the kitchen.

This is my second time in this house… That first time was an amazing experience.

I couldn’t help but get wet thinking about it.

Yukino-san brought tea and sat on the floor.

A silence hung between us. I decided to wait for her to speak.

“Actually… Please don’t tell anyone, but… Mamo-kun is in the hospital right now…”

“What?”

I couldn’t process what Yukino-san was saying.
