Chapter 149 – #2-12 Hypnotic Magical Girl Alliance (Black, Blue Sapphire) (2)
The place I brought Blue Sapphire to was a karaoke room that I had visited several times before.
Using the now familiar counter machine, Black quickly found a room and entered the room with Blue Sapphire.
Blue Sapphire still looks confused.
She has a face that says she doesn’t understand what the situation is or why she was brought in by Black.
She clearly lost her memory.
It is not because of something unexpected.
Apparently, we had already discussed doing so with Black yesterday.
‘That’s right. We definitely talked about doing that yesterday.’
Black frowned faintly as he stroked her head, now that her headache had subsided.
This morning, she lost her memory of her blue sapphire.
This is the same as the blue sapphire before her eyes, in which she has forgotten herself.
This is what we decided to do after discussing it with Blue Sapphire last night.
In order to prevent information from being leaked while unconscious through hypnosis, it was decided to normally seal the memories of Blue Sapphire and her current plan.
As expected, this was helped by ‘Mr. Guide’.
In the first place, it is thanks to ‘Guide’ that hypnosis can be lifted, even if temporarily, and similarly, tasks such as modifying or hiding some of the memory information are also possible with ‘Guide’.
So, morning comes, and at the same time that the hypnosis that had been lifted becomes active again… As soon as ‘Mr. Guide’ looked at her hand, she completely forgot her memories of the blue sapphire.
And, as promised in advance, the sealed memory was revived by presenting the designated code.
The lifting of hypnosis by ‘Mr. Guide’ was also achieved, and the current Black was freed from the hypnotic bondage and regained his original reason and thinking.
Her memories of Blue Sapphire returned.
Similarly, presenting a code is used as a signal to break hypnosis… The experiment was conducted successfully.
However, even though the experiment itself was successful, Black’s expression was not bright.
‘… Now that I think about it, it’s me from a little while ago… It gives me goosebumps.’
From morning until a little while ago.
Black is really… I was completely enslaved by this city and [Mekrak].
The self from a little while ago.
He clearly believed that serving them was a joy, and being their slave was the purpose of life.
It’s probably because of Blue Sapphire and ‘Guide’s’ manipulation to conceal some information.
In the process of hiding and sealing various memories, even the memories that should not be hidden are blown away… It seems like that’s what happened.
‘Well. Is that really true?’
I definitely thought that would be the case.
But I couldn’t just relax.
Perhaps, that is the final destination of the magical girls captured in this city.
After having his head massaged repeatedly in 『Hypnosis Factory』, And having his common sense and memories altered according to the monsters’ tastes.
I came to think that being their slave was the meaning of life.
I firmly believe that getting eaten by them is true joy.
In the end, she is reduced to a very vulgar sex doll who finds satisfaction only in having sex with males.
Until now, Black has only been in this city for a short time… And with the help of ‘Guide,’ I barely managed to fall to that level.
But, it will only be a matter of time.
If her life here continues, Black will really… Even the roots of the spirit will be polluted in that way.
All the sense of duty and common sense that had filled her mind from morning until a little while ago will control her as if it were a natural thing for the rest of her life.
I didn’t even know what was strange.
Just to become a slave to the alien enemies who invaded this Earth… You will feel joy and spend your whole life like that.
‘Mr. Guide warned me… It’s not like they can protect my sanity forever.’
‘As the hypnosis program implanted in me is updated, the influence of ‘Mr. Guide’ gradually disappears… It will eventually disappear.’
Even that in the morning.
Just a moment ago, my mind was reduced to complete slavery… Maybe it’s not simply his fault for hiding his memories of Blue Sapphire.
As the dominance of hypnosis grows stronger day by day, you may be slowly being completely consumed by it… Maybe that’s all.
―Now there really isn’t much time left.
Black thought so, raising his awareness.
If my life in this city continues any longer, I have a feeling that there will be no turning back.
‘… This is not the time to be thinking about things like the subject of a novel.’
‘I was so excited that no one else would be able to have this novel experience.’
Still, I thought that this experience could be used as material.
But at the same time, after falling to rock bottom and coming back to her senses… It became impossible to think lightly.
Because I realized for myself how terrifying that was…
“Excuse me…”
Black is mocking himself and thinking about various things.
Still, Blue Sapphire, with an innocent expression that said she didn’t know anything, looked at me and spoke.
That hesitant, timid attitude somehow gave Black a strange sense of camaraderie.
In its original form, it looks quite bold and lively.
But I have no memory… No, the current Blue Sapphire, probably in a ‘hypnotic state’, felt quite timid and neat.
“Yes. First, if you want to have a conversation, you have to do this first.”
Black picked up a pen that happened to be lying around in the karaoke room and wrote something on the back of the note that Blue Sapphire showed him a little while ago.
And then he showed it.
“To? You want to see this? This…”
Blue Sapphire looked at the contents written by Black in confusion.
For a moment, he hardened like a stone… Suddenly, those eyes changed at once.
“――Ah, I remembered.“Is the experiment a success?”
The timid appearance from before has gone nowhere.
Blue Sapphire sighed boldly, but at the same time filled with relief.
* * *
Blue Sapphire, like Black, is a magical girl who infiltrates and lives in this city.
To begin with, this entire planet is under the hands of [Mekrak], Almost all of humanity has become their slaves through hypnosis, and each individual’s every move is being monitored by their omnipotent AI program.
As such, life outside the city is difficult, especially if you have to live alone.
Moreover, if you want to achieve something in this city, not just a life of escape… In the end, living in the city is inevitable.
Therefore, even though Blue Sapphire is resistant to hypnosis, she usually lives as a hypnosis slave like other captured magical girls.
However, it is not easy to pretend to be a hypnosis slave just by acting, and 【Mecrac】’s hypnosis verification experiments are conducted periodically.
Blue Sapphire inevitably needed to be ‘actually’ hypnotized.
However, she is a magical girl who is resistant to hypnosis.
She can hardly be hypnotized by normal means, so she manipulated herself into being hypnotized using her own magic.
Lowers resistance to hypnosis.
At the same time, he even uses hypnotic magic to supplement himself… In that way, you made yourself a hypnotic slave.
While living here, without causing unnecessary friction――to perform perfectly.
Of course, all of that is achieved through the magic of blue sapphire.
The cancellation and activation of hypnosis was at her discretion.
“No, it’s not that convenient. Because in a state of hypnosis, there is no awareness that ‘you have hypnotized yourself.'”
“So usually when I use magic, I decide the amount of magic power and adjust the release timing.”
“When the magical power used in magic runs out, the ‘hypnotism magic’ and ‘weakening magic’ cast on me are also canceled.”
Blue Sapphire explained to it that way.
However, in this case, it is almost impossible to release it at the correct timing.
This experiment was intended to solve that problem.
“Forced activation of magic using a specified code… No, release.”
“With this, I can be more flexible and wake up when I need to.”
“And by remembering someone else, not me, I can prevent ‘forced release’ from happening at an unexpected time.”
That is the whole story of this experiment.
Just in case, trying a means to break the other person’s hypnotic state.
And the experiment was successful.
“If the experiment had failed, it would have just gone away. Anyway, it went well~♪ If this is the case, there will be no problem moving on to the next stage of the plan~.”
Blue Sapphire murmured as if everything went well as she drank the drink she ordered for her room.
Black, who had more things to worry about in many ways, and who could see the various sloppiness of this experiment, could not take such a carefree attitude.
In the end, I muttered with a sigh.
“This experiment was too risky. The fact that he appeared in front of the accommodation was also… “If someone who wasn’t staying at the hotel showed his face, he could have been caught, right?”
When Black spoke as if scolding, Blue Sapphire rolled her blue eyes and made a dejected expression.
It seems like he definitely thought that was a possibility.
“Well, let’s think about that later. More than that, I guess I should finish talking about what I couldn’t say yesterday, right? Yesterday, I couldn’t finish the conversation properly because of the time limit… Oh, so how much longer do you think we can talk now?”
“According to Mr. Guide… ■They say there are only about a minute left. It took some time to get here.”
“Enough.”
As Black spoke, checking the holographic message window that appeared before her eyes, Blue Sapphire nodded her head as if she was relaxed.
“Okay, then, shall we finish making a plan between you and me?”
“The name of the operation is――let’s see… Hair at the base… Deodorization… Let’s see…”
“Yes.”
“Operation name: 『Magical Girl Rescue Plan』.”
Blue Sapphire continued her explanation of her plan with a truly intuitive yet plain naming.
How to infiltrate the [Teacher Training Center].
And what kind of magical girl will we rescue from there and by what method?
She unraveled the plan, which was bold in many ways.
