Chapter 2 – Dr. Aime (2)
One.
What the fuck is Ekong talking about.
After barely stopping her curse from climbing up her throat, she looked blankly at the doctor, who stuck out her tongue, winked with her left eye, and put a fist on her head.
Her small body, the sleeves of her doctor’s gown that didn’t fit, and her pale skin because she was confined to her room, the doctor was full of elements that could literally be called the essence of cuteness.
However, even with all those elements in place, it didn’t feel cute at all because of the doctor’s rotten fish-like eyes.
Should I say her overly mature eyes compared to her small body. Maybe I’ve matured too much and rotted away. Anyway, that’s what it felt like.
About 20 seconds passed without any movement or sound. Only then did the doctor, realizing that she couldn’t move on with such poor aegyo, erased her expression and returned to her usual languid face.
“It doesn’t work. Our rabbit must be very angry.”
“I am neither your doctor nor a rabbit. It was only right that I was really angry.”
“Hmm… Is that so? I see An angry rabbit is also cute and I want to keep looking at it, but if I do, I might fall in love with me and leave, so I’ll have to play around with this.”
The doctor, who spat out words that didn’t have to be said in a languid voice, answered with a grin while looking straight at me with half-rotten eyes.
“So what does the rabbit want to hear from me? An angry rabbit is cute, but I don’t want to see a rabbit angry with me, so I’ll answer anything.”
With a soft smile still on his lips, the doctor asked me.
Even with such a small body, she is a full-fledged adult. Rumor has it that she has one more seat in front of me than I do, but if it were a doctor, she might really be able to do that.
Well, if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to smile naturally like that of an adult.
Recognizing that the rumors about the doctor’s age are credible, I asked the question I had prepared.
“Why are you kidding me like this? What is the point of giving me a fake hypnosis app or something!”
Thinking that the doctor was making fun of me, my voice rose again in anger. Even if I asked, I seemed to have a vague idea of what the answer would be, so I gnawed my teeth in resentment.
The doctor I knew was a person who couldn’t pay attention to one subject for a long time. Because she was a genius. She is also a rare genius who is unmatched by her peers.
That’s why nothing lasts long in front of her and is understood by her head.
So she lived by saying that the doctor was always bored. She lived in her boredom enough to casually say her terrible words, ‘Where are you going to stop the S-class gate from blowing up?’.
What appeared in front of such a doctor was an F-class Awakener who came with a bonus to a huge guild that he would never have entered thanks to having a great childhood friend.
Because she had seen so many great people on a daily basis, she took an interest in me, her inferior, and started calling me to her own laboratory.
About a year and a half later, when I, tired of the evil behavior of the S-class awakened people above me, sincerely wanted to leave the company, the doctor nodded her head and handed me a hypnosis application.
Then he came to me and whispered in my ear as if no one else could hear it.
‘Rabbit, if you use this app, you don’t have to run away. Do you trust me?’
At that time, the doctor’s words felt like a rope that came down from the sky.
The doctor was a benefactor who recognized my potential and awakened my potential, and he was the second person I trusted in the Liar’s Trap, so I smiled brightly and repeated my gratitude over and over again.
Now that I think about it, it must have been a one-time thing for the doctor.
It was clear that she handed her an improvised fake hypnosis app.
However, I stupidly received that hypnosis app and used it on her S-class awakened people, and it really went through her, so she could be said to be fortunate…
···What?
…Wait, but why did it work so far? The hypnosis app is fake. Even the doctor’s mouth said it was fake.
As my thoughts wandered, I returned to the starting point of ‘Why has the hypnosis app worked so far?’
I had forgotten about it for a while because of the betrayal I felt from the doctor, but the most important thing to me was not the fact that the doctor gave me a fake hypnosis app.
The fact that S-class awakened people hung out with that fake hypnosis app for half a year, that was the most important fact to me right now.
Why? There’s no reason they’d do that to me.
No, these bitches are anxious not to eat me in the first place, but if I push a monstrous thing called a hypnosis app and order things that are embarrassing to say, wouldn’t it be right to rush to fold me in half on the spot?
I reviewed the hypnosis that I had given S-class awakeners for the past half year.
I couldn’t adapt to the hypnosis app, and I only had to do passive things at first, when ethics remained in my head, but that was over two weeks later, and since then, I’ve been using the hypnosis app like an unbridled foal.
Even if you are a very close person, you have been subjected to hypnosis that would make you fall in love.
But that hypnosis was not actually hypnosis. It was phone hypnosis.
So when I thought I was hypnotized, from the point of view of the person being hypnotized, I just briefly glanced at the smartphone screen emitting purple and pink lights, and listened to my ridiculous command.
No, why did you do that? I don’t quite understand.
All but one of the people I hypnotized were bitches who treated me like trash or a slave.
They were demons wearing human masks who enjoyed ignoring me, arguing with me when they were bored, or training me when it was bad, who enjoyed ruining my body.
Why did these bitches who hate me so much pretend to be hypnotized after seeing this fake hypnosis app?
I couldn’t figure it out in my head.
As I grunted and pondered, the doctor carefully looked at me and opened his mouth to answer the question I had just asked and forgotten.
“It’s a rabbit. The reason I gave you that fake hypnosis app is…”
“Yes, Doctor, do you know? There’s nothing the doctor doesn’t know. Why did they pretend to be hypnotized for half a year?”
“Uh? Rabbit, don’t you wonder why I gave you a fake hypnosis app?”
“That is done now. Because I think I know a little bit about it.”
The reason the doctor gave me the fake hypnosis app wasn’t that important now.
Roughly, ‘a rabbit I was raising suddenly left the kennel, so I gave it to you to see if I could catch it. In fact, it was enough even if I received this and left the guild, it was enough even if I didn’t leave.”
I had no idea what the doctor would say. So, I no longer wondered about the doctor’s answer. What I wondered now was why those monstrous bitches pretended to be hypnotized.
The doctor, who had been cut off from answering my first question, clicked his tongue slightly as if he was slightly heartbroken, uncharacteristically for a doctor. Even though he was an emotionally dry doctor, he seemed to hate being interrupted.
Well, it’s only natural that a doctor who hates being called by other people’s names would be in a bad mood if he stopped talking to me.
No matter how much I own a penthouse, I can’t even compare to a doctor. After reflecting on that obvious fact, I was worried about whether I should apologize to the doctor or not.
No, no. The doctor didn’t even apologize for giving me a fake hypnosis app. Then neither do I.
Deciding not to apologize like that, I looked at the doctor and she glared at me with more rotten eyes than usual and said curtly:
“I don’t know what I know roughly, but maybe the reason the rabbit thinks and the reason I think are different. I want to correct that delusion in the rabbit’s little brain, but that’s too TMI, so I’ll let it go this time.”
“Ah yes, what… I’m sorry.”
I don’t know what I was mistaken about. However, when he said he would let it go, I said thank you.
When I lowered my head, the doctor muttered, ‘I don’t like it a little, but it’s nice that the rabbit looks fresh too.’ Then he opened his small mouth and asked me back.
“Hmm… So why do you think the S-class Awakeners hypnotized you?”
“Ah, yes. Why? The bitch who doesn’t like me when she sees me and it hurts moths… No, they are.”
“Well, it must be the placebo effect.”
“The placebo effect…!”
Are you referring to the placebo effect, in which, when fake medicine is faked and taken as real medicine, the condition actually improves due to psychological factors…!
“Certainly plausible words… What kind of bullshit is that? No matter how much the words came out of the doctor’s mouth, this one really crossed the line.”
Because the doctor said it was because of the placebo effect so naturally, I almost passed it for a moment, but it wasn’t.
When I saw a fake hypnosis app, I thought, ‘Oh, this is a hypnosis app, so I must be hypnotized! From now on, you have to listen to everything Paster says!
It’s really ridiculous that not just one person, but all the S-class Awakeners who showed me the hypnosis app are like that.
“It makes more sense that they listened to my orders while pretending to be hypnotized by looking at a fake hypnosis app because they were actually masochists who really liked me, rather than those girls…!Haha!”
The remark that the doctor had just thrown out that it was because of the placebo effect was nonsense enough to lend credence to this absurd joke that had just occurred to me.
But for some reason, the doctor who overheard my joke kept his mouth shut and his eyes wide open, as if he had been stabbed to the point.
…What is it?
