Enchanted by the Power of the Evil Eye ~The Harem School Life Crafted by a Girl Falling Under My Hypnosis~ - Chapter 70: The Beginning of the Last One

Chapter 70: The Beginning of the Last One

(MC POV)

“Haa… morning, Mamoru…”

“Morning, Kyousuke. What’s wrong? You seem down.”

At the shoe lockers in the morning, Kyousuke greets me with a sigh. I can guess why.

“Well, Akamine-san’s definitely absent today, right?”

As expected… I like how predictable Kyousuke is.

“Probably. She looked really sick yesterday… it’s worrying.”

Yuna got sick during class yesterday and left early. She managed to get home alone, but she looked pretty bad…

“Right? I’m so worried, I wanna rush to her side right now! Should I skip too?”

“I’m more worried about your future, Kyousuke… huh?”

“What’s up… wait, is that… a love letter in the legendary shoe locker?!”

A pink envelope sits on top of my indoor shoes in my locker.

“What’s with ‘legendary’? It’s not like…”

I open the envelope and read the letter inside. Kyousuke peeks over, nosy as ever.

It says, “Please meet me in the library prep room after school. I’d be happy if you come.”

“It’s totally a love letter! Why you, Mamoru… the library’s off-limits after school, right? She’s calling you to a private spot… it’s a sure thing! You going?”

So noisy… I’m starting to dislike him…

The library’s been off-limits after school since that incident… the one where I was attacked. They make students, except for club activities, leave quickly now.

“Nah, no sender’s name, so it’s probably a prank. I’d show up, and they’d be like, ‘You actually came! Hahaha!’”

I crumple the anonymous letter and shove it into my pocket.

“…Yeah, you’re right. I don’t wanna see my best friend get hurt… don’t go! Yeah, yeah!”

Kyousuke slaps my shoulder, assuming I never get love letters… maybe I’ll ditch this “best friend”…

I’d love to tell him I’ve got two cute girlfriends and a cute pet.

“Sorry, gotta hit the bathroom. Going ahead!”

Kyousuke runs off down the hall… I pull the letter from my pocket, smooth out the creases, and grin like I’m thrilled.

“Whoa, Akamine-san’s really absent today, huh? So lonely!”

Ren-chan-sensei fake-cries while taking attendance.

Yuna’s not in class today… the classroom feels kinda gloomy…

Of the class’s standout trio, Asuka-chan’s quietly listening to music on her phone, and Kurokami Sayaka-san’s giving off her usual cold, unapproachable vibe.

Without Yuna, it’s this dark. Her presence is unreal…

I glance at Kurokami-san, who’s as usual.

Her long, silky black hair reaches her waist, her tall, model-like figure accentuated by a shockingly small face that makes her seem even taller.

Her strong-willed eyes, long lashes visible from a distance, sharp nose, and perfectly proportioned lips…

She’s a flawless beauty, hard to believe we’re the same age… and she’s definitely hiding huge breasts!

They say every guy in school falls for Kurokami-san at least once… I did too, at first…

She’s whispering something to Asuka-chan. I can guess what it’s about.

Asuka-chan glances at me… I asked her to do that when my name comes up. Good job, Asuka-chan.

I act giddy about the love letter, though I’m genuinely excited.

This is gonna be fun. I can’t wait for after school.

—

After school, I force Kyousuke, who’s pestering me about what I’ll do, to go home.

I sneak toward the library prep room, making it look like I’m trying not to be seen.

It’s supposed to be locked after school, but the door’s open, and I slip inside easily.

The library itself feels empty… everyone’s gone home obediently, and no library committee members are around.

“Excuse me~ Anyone here?”

I open the door and step inside… no one’s there…

I decide to wait for her inside.

The library prep room stores books for disposal, new arrivals, or class materials. It’s about eight tatami mats wide, fairly spacious.

After a while, the door to the library opens… Kurokami-san walks in silently… she brushes her hair back… like a sculpted goddess…

“Oh? Kurokami-san? What’s up? Library committee stuff? Sorry, the door was open, so I came in… I’ll leave right away!”

I wave my hands dramatically and move to leave.

“No need. I’m the one who called you here.”

“Huh? You, Kurokami-san… no way, you’re into me…?”

She glares at me… that alone sends shivers down my spine… she’s stunning.

She holds out her hand, her long, elegant fingers flawless.

“…Hand it over.”

“Huh? Asking me to whip it out here… that’s embarrassing…”

Her glare sharpens. Guess she’s not the joking type.

“The spare key to Asuka’s room… give it back. You have it, don’t you?”

“You saw me going into Asuka-chan’s room?”

“Don’t call Asuka so casually. Someone like you…”

Her glare is terrifying… a while ago, I might’ve wet myself.

“That’s harsh… calling me out like this…”

I back toward the hallway door.

Turning, I see Asuka-chan standing outside, glaring up at me… that’s thrilling in its own way…

She pushes my chest, forcing me back inside… she looks like she’s about to cry… you don’t want to do this, right? Sorry for making you.

Good job pretending to be on Kurokami-san’s side. I’ll pet you lots later.

“Give back the key. And quit school, will you?”

Kurokami-san’s cold eyes pierce me… I might awaken as a masochist…

“Huh? W-Why?”

“I know you’re threatening Yuna and Asuka, doing disgusting things to them… for their sake, I won’t tell anyone… just disappear.”

Her icy, stabbing gaze… hehe… yeah, it’s genuinely scary…

“Threatening them… when did you start thinking that?”

“For reference, I’d like to know.”

“Since the day Yuna took you to the infirmary… her vibe changed subtly. She denied it, but I’m sure you did something.”

Almost from the start, huh… as expected from Kurokami-san…

“So you got Asuka-chan and Mutou-kun to go after me?”

“You knew…”

Kurokami-san’s expression doesn’t change…

“Of course. They’re not exactly the brightest, are they?”

Asuka-chan looks dejected for a moment. Sorry, Asuka-chan.

“You’re right. But I regret not handling it myself from the start… I didn’t expect Asuka to have a weakness you could exploit. Unlike Yuna, she’s not soft on guys, so I let my guard down.”

Mutou-kun doesn’t matter to her… obviously…

“Asuka wouldn’t tell me anything, but when I said I’d punish you, she agreed to help… you did something awful to her, didn’t you? You’re the worst.”

“And you chose a day when soft-hearted Yuna was absent to call me out… right?”

“Yes. If she were here, things might get too lenient… and don’t call me so casually.”

Kurokami-san’s aura grows colder… wait, am I going to get killed?

“I don’t know how you threatened Yuna and Asuka, but I don’t have any weaknesses… so, sorry, but disappear from our sight today.”

She steps closer, towering over me with her height, looking down… it’s thrilling.

“Fine… I’ll tell you what I did to them. I… hypnotized them.”

Kurokami-san looks stunned, showing a rare expression… so cute, that gap… but her face quickly hardens again.

Such a waste. Girls are cutest when their expressions change constantly… like a toy…

“You’re… really crazy, aren’t you?”

She looks down at me with pity… I’m awakening.

“If you think so, look into my right eye.”

I already put in the eye drops before coming here.

“Huh? …Ah… ugh…”

Her eyes go blank… and in that instant, a sharp pain hits my left cheek! It burns?! Wait, she slapped me?!

She staggers, having just slapped me…

“W-What was that… my head, for a moment…”

As expected, the hypnosis doesn’t work well on her… I knew she was strong-willed…

And she can just slap someone like that…

“That was the ‘hypnosis.’ Felt something, right?”

“Tch… no way that’s real… you probably used some weird drug, didn’t you?”

She doesn’t believe it right away… fine, then…

“You heard her, Asuka-chan. You can stop now.”

Asuka-chan hurries to my side.

“Master, are you okay? Oh, it’s red…”

She glares at Kurokami-san, then licks my cheek.

“Huh? Asuka… what are you doing? That’s gross…”

Kurokami-san seems unable to comprehend what Asuka’s doing… gross, huh…

“Thanks, Asuka-chan. That tickles.”

Kurokami-san stares at the scene, dumbfounded, as the door behind her opens.

“Sayaka-chan! Got you!!”

Yuna grabs Kurokami-san in a chokehold.

“What, no way, Yuna… why?”

“…Sayaka-chan… what are you doing to my Mamoru?”

Yuna whispers with a smile, her eyes cold.

Kurokami-san finally looks flustered… this is thrilling… things are getting fun.
