The Man with Hypnotic Powers Doesn’t Hold Back the Second Time Around

Chapter 217

If we rewind a bit, back to when Yujin was explaining the whole soul entity thing...
Not many were really paying attention.
At most, Sibylla, Seol Hayeon, and Kkong were the only ones listening.
The rest? They didn’t even hear it, not one bit.

- Dozing off.

"Hey, Haru, get in and sleep."
"Unnie... is Dad’s work over?"
"Not yet, so just hang in there... yawn."

First, Haru and Winterer.
Both were yawning uncontrollably because they were sleepy.

One of them was the type to fall asleep by 10 p.m., like a grown-up in a new country.
The other was a soldier, used to the strict time schedules of the K-military.

So, it was no surprise that neither had gotten any sleep because of the EX-class gate incident.
It made sense that they were both struggling to stay awake.

When Yujin said, "Would you believe me if I showed you for just five minutes!" both of them had their eyes wide open. But anyway...

'Is the explanation for the disciple almost over? The monsters seem to have quieted down, so maybe I can finish making a baby now...
'I heard it, but it's really amazing. This is the Saintess's thing, right?'

Aika and Shia were no different from the others in terms of listening.

Aika had already heard everything from Yujin, and besides, her mind was elsewhere.
Shia, thanks to her memory from the first round, didn’t need to listen.

And lastly...

- Snap.

'Yujin, how dare you leave me and go with Shia first? And on top of that, in this urgent moment, you go and do everything with that sow!!'

…Alice.
She couldn't focus for a different reason.
Her anger had risen to the top of her head.

To be fair, who could blame her?
She was the only one who had tried to get close to Yujin not once, but twice, and was even fully marked by him.

But now, other women had already gotten involved with him.
She was furious, and her fists trembled with rage.
Yujin had promised to do it with her during vacation, but now, he had already done everything with Shia and Aika. She hated him for it.

"...?"
'But really, is that Saintess possible? She does look soft, almost like a sex toy, but still... too young, don’t you think?'

Alice doubted her husband’s preferences even more because of this, but still, she continued to wait, grinding her teeth.
Three S-ranks. No, if you include Sibylla, it’s four in the regular meeting.
She was hoping that it would wrap up quickly so that Yujin would be free.
She was waiting for the time when the interrogation would begin.

The wait didn’t last long.

"S-rank number 1, Ninomiya Aika. I want you to evolve her just like you did."
"Let’s do it. Then, Master, should we at least try?"

The meeting ended with Seol Hayeon giving a special mission.
And immediately after, Yujin called his master to execute it.

And then...

"Yujin? Don’t we have something to talk about?"
"Heeek."

Alice interrupted with a drowsy look.
The intense special operation had begun.

'It’s cute to see that pathetic guy squirming... but, well, he’s pitiful. Maybe I’ll help him out a bit.'

- Grab.

"Then Aika, Alice. Should we head back to the dorm for now?"
"Hee, hee..."

But now, there was one person who was just... ridiculous.

***

Making my master evolve like Nana or the Saintess.
I decided to temporarily step back from the frontlines for that mission.

It was a crazy move, considering that I was the only means of offense…

Well. It should be fine.
The frequency of monsters descending from the sky has dropped, and there are trustworthy allies here—Kkong.

[Kkong: If you think monsters have piled up, just call me. We’ll take turns resting while switching out the Awakened.]
[We’ve got it handled here, so focus on Ninomiya or whatever else you need.]
[...Thanks.]

If it’s him, I’m sure he can cover for me in my absence.
Kkong, with his future vision, was an elite commander.
He’d manage for days, if not longer, for me.

Well, I’m not relying only on Kkong. I trust Sibylla and the chairman as well. But anyway…

With that, I left the frontlines. My target was Master, and...

-Creak.

"Shall we head back to the dorm?"
"...Good idea. This isn’t something to discuss outside."
"Heh, hiiii..."

With the other two wives, Shia and Alice, in tow.

Those two were dragging me toward the dorm. Ugh.
It felt like I was a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.

-Deep thought.

This reaction, they must have regained their memories. If so, I should be able to get through the harem situation somehow.

Of course, I wasn’t actually worried about being slaughtered.
My biggest concern was my “greatest sin.” The one where I left other women in my wake.
Convincing them about that should be fairly easy, though.

If they, like Master, had recalled the first-round memories, I’m sure they’d understand…

-Screech. Thud.

"Anyway, you all worked hard last night."
"———Yujin, you had sex with Shia, didn’t you?"
"...!!!!?"

I thought they’d understand, but I suddenly took a direct hit.

My eyes widened to their limit.
I even threw a glare at Shia.

[Shia!? Why are you saying this!? That was our secret!]

"Hmm. So it was true? I wanted to believe Shia was lying."
“Y-You, my disciple? With... with sex...!!!?”
"......"
I’m screwed.

But I didn’t have time to argue with Shia.
Alice’s eyes were pitch-black with rage, and Master started shaking with fury.

Regret suddenly engulfed me.

I should’ve stopped Shia yesterday…

-Suddenly.

"Also, Ninomiya? Don’t you have something to say to us?"
"...Huh? No, well."
"Your memories must have come back, right?"
"......!!!?"

I didn’t have time to regret.
It was because Alice started attacking Master, biting and clawing at her.
With a cryptic comment about how the memories had come back.

Both Master and I widened our eyes in shock.

"Y-You too!!?"
"Heh. I knew it."

In contrast to that, Alice’s voice froze with coldness.
A chill of rage was directed at me.

"So you’ve been with Ninomiya too? Bitten, sucked, and even had sex, I assume? Since your memories are back?"
"Eeek!!!"

This was bad. Alice was seriously pissed.

And it was understandable. I had made that promise with her first.
Twice, actually. In a hotel, in my room.
We’d agreed to do it during vacation.

She must have been waiting for that...
And now, from her perspective?
Her ex-husband had gone and done it first with other wives.
And now, the EX-class gate is happening, and I’ve snatched another wife and ran off.

She had every right to be mad. She must’ve felt hurt.
Who in their right mind would take care of other wives during the end of the world?

There was nothing I could say in defense.

"Sorry!!"

-Thud.

Don't try to make excuses—just bow your head first!! Seals and all that, talk about it once the anger is gone!!

In this situation, trying to explain about the seal or the Saintess would be the worst move ever.
No matter the reason, I was in the wrong.

For now, groveling was the best option.
That’s what I thought as I decided to just remain quiet...

"I—I haven’t had sex with my disciple yet!!?"
"......?"
Master?

I was trying to stay quiet.
But now, Master suddenly jumped to conclusions.

I was startled and immediately sat up.
There was Master, her cheeks puffed up.
And Alice, whose mouth hung open in disbelief.

"Ha? Don’t lie. You were just letting Yujin grope you earlier! You two were naked and did everything but sex!!"
"That’s true, but I didn’t have sex!! I’m innocent!!"
"...Huh?"
"So, this time, I’ll go first! I want to go first!!!"

-Thud. Shuffle shuffle.

"......!!!?"

The master then displayed an unbelievable spectacle.
Lying flat on his back, flailing his arms and legs around.
Wasn’t he just acting like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum?

At the unbelievable nonsense, even Alice, furious to the extreme, was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

"What is this nonsense?"
"You've already done everything with your student! And you're young!! This time, just give me a break, okay?!"
"...What?"
"I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know!! I’m going to have sex with my student!!!"

However, the master’s nonsense did not stop.

He was embarrassed, his face turning bright red.
But despite that, he continued shouting loudly.
It was the kind of scene that would make anyone want to say, “Fine, do whatever you want…” and walk away.

Of course, Alice wasn’t just anyone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t even done anything with Yujin yet!!"
"Lie! You’ve already done everything!"
"I told you I haven’t!!"
"And then when I did it a little earlier, you started calling me a rolling stone or whatever! You guys are too much!!"
"What are you even saying right now?!"

Alice battles against flattery.
The mentor, refusing to lose, expresses her dissatisfaction.
A fight between two wives, each proud and stubborn, unfolds.

And so, I...
—began to contemplate whether or not to activate my last resort.

"Should I bring it out? The ultimate card of the 'Breeding Uncle,' the 4P?"

A rift born from a fight between wives.
What’s needed to fill that gap?
A time even more enjoyable, I’d say.

Nothing beats a 4P for that.
Just satisfy them until their eyes roll back, and whatever happens to the fight doesn’t matter anymore.
From experience, this is the best solution.

"Yeah. Let’s do it. It’s a bit strange that the first experience is a 4P, but if everyone has regained their memories..."

• Swoosh.

After thinking this far,
I slowly reached for my pants.
The ultimate weapon of the 'Breeding Uncle.' I, too, would pull out the Yujindo.

The fight in front of me would, without a doubt, stop as if by magic with this.

• Thud.

"Our little loser. Stop."
"...Huh?"

Just as I was about to proceed, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Turning around, I saw who it was.
It was Shia.

Shia's hand slowly moved toward my lower body.
It was like a snake sliding across its prey.

• Swish.

"Wait, hold on. What do you think you're doing?"

[I'll help you, so keep your mouth shut and stay still.]
[...?]

"Alright, alright. You two over there, focus here."

She called out to the two who were still deeply immersed in their argument.
Naturally, the gazes of the two fighters turned back to us...

"Shia? We’ll deal with you later, but for now..."
"Yucia, can you just back off a little this time...?"

• Smooch.

"...!!!?"

Shia's lips soon found their way to my cheek.
Smack. A brief kiss echoed through the air.

"What, what is that girl suddenly doing?"
"If you’re jealous, you can do it too."
"Eh? Huh?"
"If we just get past this Gate... you can do whatever you want after that."

• Snatch.

She even grabbed my butt tightly.
Naturally, Alice and my mentor were furious...

• Hesitate.

"Huh, do whatever I want...?"
"Anything?"
"...?"

I expected anger, but why is this so enticing?

I’m their husband, so that’s only natural...

• Pause.

‘Wait, could it be that their memories aren’t fully intact?’

The thought suddenly crossed my mind.
I looked at Alice in shock.
If any memories from the first round remained...
She surely wouldn’t have been so calm during the EX-class Gate incident.

"Wait. You guys... could it be that you remember?"
"The memories Alice and I recalled are from one year ago. The memories from our first year."
"What!?"

Just as if to affirm my thoughts, Shia spoke up.
Her words left me and my mentor wide-eyed in surprise.

"Wait. From first year to one year...?
"But in our memories, you weren’t there. When did you start seeing Yujin?"
"I... I’ve been his student since second year... about two years? After that, I’m not sure."
"What!? Two years!?"

Alice’s eyes grew wide as well.
It was clear that they had realized their memories didn’t match up.

And then, Shia...

"Yeah. So, instead of making our loser sulk and fight...”

• Footsteps. Thud.

"Let’s sit down and talk this through. You two."

She declared a truce.
Unlike the two who had been fighting just a moment ago, she carried herself with a mature, adult-like authority.
It was honestly quite impressive.

[Sh-Shia...!! Thank you!!]
[Our little loser can sit down too. You’re the biggest problem here.]
[Yeah!!]

Our wife is the best.
Long live Yucia.

***

A moment later.

"I’m a returnee."

In front of the three of them, I revealed my secret for the first time in 15 weeks.
I followed Shia’s example. With a truly impressive and solemn expression.

"Yujin? That doesn’t make sense."
"Huh?"
"No matter how I think about it, your student’s memory seems to be the most incomplete...?"
"...Huh?"

The moment I struck a dramatic pose lasted less than a minute.
