Chapter 23: Chapter 023
"When you think of Zeon, you feel so good, you feel at ease, and you feel happy… The more specifically and accurately you think of Zeon, the better and happier you feel… When you think of Zeon as if I were seeing it. You feel like you're flying… What do you feel now?"
"Happiness…"
"People live to be happy… You want to be happy… If you want to be happy, you have to think of Zeon… Very specifically… Every time you think of Zeon, you feel better. You become comfortable and happy… Do you want to continue to be happy in the future?"
"Yes…"
"Then you keep seeing an image of Zeon every time you breathe… You keep seeing an image of Zeon every time you breathe… A specific image of Zeon comes to mind every time you do something… And Every time, you become very, very happy… Even now, the image of Zeon keeps coming to mind, and every time I see Zeon, I feel better and happier…"
[T/N: At this point the other person will become mad.]
Now Lena will think of me every time she breathes, and she will feel better when she thinks of me. I additionally added the keyword 'Lena enters a cozy room' for her hypnosis.
I finished all the hypnotic suggestions and left Lena sleeping. I feel very relieved after finishing a big job.

Hypnotism and intelligence have increased.
I sat down at my desk with a relaxed mind and began to work on the drawing homework Laura had assigned.
Swish
Lena woke up from a happy dream.
It seems that she was happily playing tag with Zeon in her dream.
'Huh? Why is Zeon in my dream?!'
Lena glared at Zeon. Zeon turned his back to Lena and was concentrating on drawing her.
Watching Zeon makes me feel calm and my mood improves. Lena's mouth begins to open wide with happiness.
Lena realized her abnormality and came to her senses.
'No! Why am I like this! Why do I feel good when I see Zeon!'
Still, I feel better as Zeon's face keeps coming to mind.
'It's only been a while since I've seen him, so why am I like this? What is he doing?'
Lena got angry, crumpled up her paper and threw it at the back of Zeon's head.
*Pck*
"Ouch! Why are you hitting me?"
Zeon turns his head and gets annoyed.
"Just! Because you're too focused!"
"No. But what does hitting mean?"
"If I hit you, then so be it! And how can you study pictures when you're studying magical linguistics? I'll ask you 100 magic symbols, so memorize them all!"
"How long?"
"Before I ask again."
"No~~!"
"Okay!"
Although some harsh words were exchanged with Zeon, Lena was really happy on the inside as she talked to Zeon.
Lena felt her face heat up. To hide this feeling, Lena became even more grumpy.
"I have to leave because it smells like Zeon. Bye~ Then study well~"
Lena grabbed her teddy bear and ran out of the clubroom and into the dormitory. As she ran, the image of Zeon kept coming to her mind, and the more she focused on that image, the better she felt. She wanted to immediately go back to the clubroom and look at Zeon's face, but Lena didn't do it because of shame.
Lena screamed internally at her unfamiliar emotions.
'Why am I like this!'
Zeon remained in the clubroom, muttering with a bewildered look on his face.
"Has hypnosis failed? Damn."
Lena went to her single dormitory and lay down on her bed, hugging her teddy bear.
Also, Zeon's face came to her mind. As she stares at it, the corners of her mouth rise.
Even though she tries to think about other things, Zeon keeps coming back to her, and she can't concentrate.
"I need to focus on my studies."
Lena opened her magical linguistics book and began to read.
'This symbol separates mana… Oh, that's Zeon! Hehe… No! When mana is separated… Zeon is cool!… This isn't it either!'
Even when she opens a book, she can't concentrate. Lena eventually decided to ask Laura for her advice on this phenomenon.
Laura lives in her four-room dormitory. When Lena went to Laura's room, she found Laura sleeping on her bed.
Lena shook Laura's body.
Shaking
"Laura~ Laura~ wake up~"
"Haaaaam. What…"
Laura yawned deeply, and she got out of bed. Lena gave Laura her reprimand.
"It's the middle of the day right now, so what should I do if I sleep for this long?"
"Huh? That's right. I usually don't take a lot of naps. I have to get up."
Laura jumped out of bed and asked Lena.
"So why did you look for me?"
"I have something to ask just Laura because it's really personal. Let's go to my room."
"Okay."
Lena and Laura went to Lena's single room, took snacks and drinks, and sat on the bed.
Laura asked.
"Now tell me what's bothering you. Unni will solve it~ Mhehe."
"Since when are you my sister?"
" If I solve it, you'll be my sister."
"No! I can solve it even though we're the same age!"
When Lena argues, Laura stops playing.
"Okay. It's just a joke~ So what are you worried about?"
Lena hesitated, wiggling her fingers.
"Well… There's someone I keep thinking about. His face keeps coming to mind and looking at him makes me feel good. I can't concentrate on my studies… Even while I'm studying, faces come to mind again, and I feel better."
"So it's a man? Or is it a woman?"
"Man…"
"Huh?"
"Man…"
Laura opened her mouth in shock. No matter how she looked at it, it felt like love. Laura secretly thought that Lena's mental age was that of a child, but did she think Lena was also mature?
Laura's eyes begin to sparkle, as if she has discovered something interesting.
Laura stayed close to Lena and urged her to speak.
"Huh~ I see. So who is it?"
"Why do I have to tell you?"
"Tell me that, so I can diagnose you. Hehe."
"Your face is full of mischief? Stop playing around and tell me quickly what this is."
After Laura walked away from Lena, she paused and spoke with a serious look on her face.
"That's love."
Lena's eyes opened wide.
"Love?"
"Yes. The love you feel for the opposite sex. You think of someone's face, and every time you think of it, you feel better. There is no other thing."
"Well, then am I in love?"
"Okay. Do you still remember that person's face?"
"Yes."
"Do you feel good thinking about him?"
"Yes."
"It's love."
Laura made her diagnosis with a single sword. As Lena wiggles her fingers, she mutters.
"Ah… I see… I'm in love… Furthermore, I've never felt this way before…"
Laura leaned close to Lena and asked with her sparkling eyes.
"So who is this person?"
"Do I have to say it?"
"I will help you two with your relationship."
"It doesn't matter if you don't help me…"
"Maybe it's your first love. Do you want to pass by without doing anything?"
"First love…"
There was something sweet about the word 'first love' that made Lena's heartache. Lena hugged her teddy bear and nodded.
"Okay. Let me tell you. It's Zeon."
Laura shouted in astonishment, "You too?"
This time Lena was surprised.
"Huh? Why, 'you too'?"
Laura urgently excused herself.
"Oh, no. It's just... I guess I'm also a little interested in Zeon. That's because Zeon has a good face and a lot of money."
Lena hugged the teddy bear and her nerves died.
"Ah. Laura also likes Zeon. Laura is more mature than me, so she will be good with Zeon."
Laura felt a little sorry when she saw Lena's downcast appearance. Laura held Lena's hand and comforted her.
"Because Lena also has her own charm. And today, I see that Zeon is showing a lot of interest in Lena?"
"Really?"
"Yes, I was a little jealous when I saw the two of you studying magic together."
"Laura said that…"
"Let's not already decide who will be good with Zeon. We both might not be able to do it. And let's encourage whoever we love."
"Huh. Yes."
Lena smiled and nodded her head. At that time, she asked Laura what she was curious about.
"But how long has Laura been in love with her?"
"Huh? Ahahaha. That's…"
Laura is embarrassed because her face turns red. When Lena saw that, tendons appeared on her forehead.
"Hey! It's your first time in love too! Why do you act like you know everything!"
Lena swung her teddy bear.
*Powok*
"Its just... Even if you just read the novel, you know what love is!"
[T/N: Instructions unclear, now a succubus is after me....]
"This woman is a romance novel otaku."
*Powok*
"Aaaaah! The atmosphere was good until now!"
Lena and Laura argued and then stopped.
The two best friends decided to support each other's love without interfering with it and parted ways.
Lena hugged the teddy bear and recited Zeon's name.
"Zeon…"
Spring was coming to the girl's heart.
.
.
.
It was Saturday morning.
"Zeon! Wake up quickly! The dungeon exploration team members were supposed to get together today!"
As expected, I force myself to open my eyes due to the Kazan alarm clock.
"It's really dark right now. What time is it?"
"6:30."
"No…"
"You have to eat breakfast and wash up to get your day going properly."
"I understand."
I got out of bed with my tired body.
"Kazan. Would you like to sit on the bed for a moment?"
"Okay."
Kazan sat on the bed.
"Kazan enters a cozy room."
Kazan fell into a trance and sat down.
Today, Aris and I have to spend some alone time, so Kazan, the troublemaker, has to leave at an appropriate time.
"After lunch today, you feel incredibly sleepy… Your whole body feels drowsy, and you want to lie down in bed quickly and sleep… You go straight to the dormitory, lie down on the bed, and fall into a comfortable sleep… You have lunch. After eating, you are so sleepy that no matter what happened, you went to the bed in your dorm room and fell into a comfortable sleep."
*Snap*
I woke up Kazan. Kazan opens his eyes and looks at me.
"So what is it? Oh yeah, I wanted to ask where we should practice today."
"You can talk while eating."
"That too. Then, let's talk while eating."
"Oki."
I ate, washed, armed myself, and went to the square with Kazan.
