Enchanted by the Power of the Evil Eye ~The Harem School Life Crafted by a Girl Falling Under My Hypnosis~

Chapter 62: Yuna’s House Living Room

“Mmm! This is really delicious! I could eat this forever!”

The three of us are sitting around the table in the living room, eating the curry Haruka-chan made.

It’s a chunky, slightly sweet chicken curry, exactly to my taste.

“Thank you! There’s plenty more, so eat as much as you want.”

Haruka-chan beams as she watches me eat, clearly delighted by my praise.

Her curry is genuinely delicious.

Yuna’s eating heartily too. Over the past two days, I’ve learned Yuna’s quite a big eater.

Haruka-chan’s eating daintily as well.

Yuna stuffs her cheeks, while Haruka-chan quietly brings the spoon to her mouth. Even their eating styles show their distinct personalities.

Watching cute girls eat so happily is such a pleasant sight.

“Hey, by the way… Haruka-chan, do you have a boyfriend?”

Yuna suddenly asks, her spoon still in her mouth.

“Eh?!”

Haruka-chan’s startled and glances at me repeatedly, clearly conscious of me…

“Y-Yuna-chan, why’re you asking something like that out of nowhere?”

Haruka-chan can’t hide her flustered state, panicking because she’s thinking of me… she’s so adorable.

“Well, I introduced Mamoru to you, so I was wondering if you had someone special you’d want to tell me about.”

Haruka-chan looks down, her ears turning red.

“I-I don’t have a boyfriend… and someone I like… I’m not sure… maybe…”

Her voice is barely audible as she answers, stealing glances at me.

So cute… her “love” for me probably hasn’t fully settled into her heart and mind yet.

“Really? Oh! Maybe there’s someone at school you’re interested in? Like… Suzuki-kun, was it? Are you into him?”

Yuna’s prodding Haruka-chan, shaking her up.

“Eh? Suzuki-kun…? Why? I don’t like him at all. I don’t really want to say this kind of thing, but… I don’t have a good impression of him… I don’t even want to talk to him much… huh? Did I ever mention Suzuki-kun to you, Yuna-chan?”

Haruka-chan tilts her head, looking puzzled.

Oh no, that confused expression is way too cute…

Poor Suzuki-kun… for a sweet girl like Haruka-chan to say something like this, he must be pretty disliked in her heart by now…

You might’ve had a chance to date such a cute girl… sorry, I’ll be taking her instead.

“Huh? I thought we talked about him or something… my mistake, maybe? It’s a common last name, after all. Such a shame, though, since Haruka-chan’s so cute… right, Mamoru?”

Yuna tosses the conversation to me, and the air around Haruka-chan shifts… she’s curious about what I’ll say.

“Yeah, she’s so cute. The guys around her must not have any taste.”

“Y-Yuna-chan and I have the same face, so you’re just saying that… I’m not…”

Haruka-chan slumps, looking dejected… ouch, my chest hurts…

“No, it’s not just about looks. In the short time I’ve known you, I can tell you’re an incredibly charming girl inside too. Of course, you’re super cute on the outside as well.”

Haruka-chan’s ears are bright red, and she looks so happy… too adorable…

That’s right, Haruka-chan, being praised by me makes you so happy.

“Mamoru? I think Haruka-chan’s cute too, but… who’s your girlfriend, hmm?”

Yuna tilts her head, her eyes not smiling… she’s doing this to shake Haruka-chan’s heart, right?

Or is she actually jealous?

“Oh, by the way, Haruka-san, you’re the same age as me and Yuna since you’re twins, right? I’ve been treating you like a little sister because you’re Yuna’s sister and got too familiar… sorry about that. Should I call you… Akamine-san instead?”

“No! I-I mean, sorry…”

Haruka-chan’s eyes well up with tears, probably feeling like I’m suddenly pushing her away… sorry, that’s harsh.

“U-um… if it’s okay with you, Kageyama-san… I’d like you to call me Haruka…chan… you can treat me like a kid too… that’s fine…”

Haruka-chan looks up at me nervously, her vibe completely different from Yuna’s. The difference in their personalities changes their presence so much…

“Oh, no, I didn’t mean it in a bad way… I mean, since you’re Yuna-chan’s boyfriend, you’re kind of like… my… big brother… or something… so…”

Huh? It was hard to catch, but… did she just say a heartwarming word?

“I’d like you to call me… Haruka-chan…”

Haruka-chan fidgets, her ears bright red, probably summoning all her courage… she’s so precious…

Haruka-chan is definitely falling for me, but I’m her beloved big sister’s boyfriend. Since she seems so earnest, she probably can’t handle the idea of two-timing.

So, in her mind, she’s likely processing her feelings by casting me as her “big brother”…

I didn’t expect her to come up with that… how interesting…

This is why I can’t stop playing with people’s hearts… I think I’ll enjoy this state for a while. I’m excited to see how it evolves…

Of course, in the end… well, you know…

Yuna’s been smirking at Haruka-chan the whole time too… she’s probably thinking the same thing as me…

“Got it. I’ll call you Haruka-chan from now on.”

Haruka-chan’s face lights up.

“Then, instead of Kageyama, I’d like you to call me… Mamoru.”

“Eh? Um, but that’s…”

Haruka-chan glances at Yuna, clearly hesitant in front of her sister.

“You don’t have to hold back for me. If Mamoru prefers it, I’m totally fine with it.”

“R-really? Then… Ma… Mamoru-san…”

Haruka-chan says it shyly, so cute… this must be what “precious” means…

“What’s up, Haruka-chan?”

Her face flushes even more.

“U-um, I-I’ll… clear the dishes!”

Embarrassed by calling each other by name, Haruka-chan grabs the dishes and heads to the kitchen to start washing.

“So, what do you think? My sister’s way too cute, right?”

“Perfect… I want to cherish her… slowly…”

Yuna nods happily… and for that, I take out the eye drops…

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Haruka-chan, can I have a moment?”

“Oh, yes! Mamoru…san… what’s up?”

Still not used to saying my name, Haruka-chan calls it out shyly.

“Look into my eyes…”

“Huh? Did something get in your eye? Hold on, let me—… ah… nn…”

Haruka-chan’s eyes lose their light, her arms dangle limply, and she stands with a vacant expression. Since she was washing dishes, water drips from her hands onto the floor.

“Haruka-chan, can you hear my voice?”

“…Yes… I can hear… Mamoru-san’s voice…”

She’s fallen into a hypnotic state… her willingness to accept me is so strong now that she slipped into it deeply and easily.

I lead Haruka-chan to the living room.

“So, what’s the plan?”

Yuna pokes Haruka-chan’s cheeks, but there’s no reaction.

Vacant eyes, half-open mouth… her body sways limply… her glossy black hair moves with her…

It’s perfect… she’s a perfect doll… the thrill is unstoppable…

“For the future, I want to make it so she can enter this state instantly… it’ll be easier for you too, right, Yuna?”

Yuna’s already woven some suggestions into her, but I feel they’re still a bit weak.

I ask Yuna to step back and place my hand on Haruka-chan’s head…

Her silky black hair feels amazing… it smells so good… it’s driving me wild…
