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

Chapter 219

After a thorough conversation with my wives about the first loop, I came to a realization.
In fact, the most incomplete memory is mine.

Once this was revealed, the conversation shifted towards finding a way to restore my memory.

"Then, Yujin probably has some kind of seal on him too."
"We regained our memories by kissing our disciple, so it’s likely something similar."
"That makes sense…"

I, too, had one.
A seal that could only be broken by kissing my three wives.
A seal that implanted something like '???' inside me and evolved me into a soul form.

Now that it was lifted, I thought there was no longer any need to worry about such things…
"Things are getting tricky."

This time, there wasn’t a single clue about the memory seal.

Unlike the kiss, where my stats increased by 1 and I shouted, "That’s suspicious! Please break the seal!"
In the case of these scattered gaps in my first loop memories, there was just nothing there.
I hadn’t even noticed until my wives pointed it out.

I had no idea how to break the seal I didn’t even know existed.

"Why was this sealed in the first place?"
I could understand that it needed to be sealed to keep it a secret.
But why? I had no clue why it had to be hidden.

Because everything that needed to be revealed had already come out.
The person who made me regress was "Mom," the Saintess.
The strength that allows me to cut down monsters from EX-Class Gates? That was from her too.
The reason the seal had three layers was because she feared I couldn’t handle it.

Now that all those secrets were out, there had to be an even more important one…
"Why is it a secret that I didn’t have children with my wives?"
I honestly couldn’t understand it.
Why does this have to be a secret?

"If I don’t understand, I’ll have to ask."

-Swoosh.

[Hey, Hypnosis-chan. My soul mate. Can you hear me?]

I called out desperately inside my mind.
I knew my little sister was busy, but come on, please come here.
Why do I have holes in my memory like Swiss cheese?

[....]
[Hypnosis-chan? The little sister in striped panties?]
[....]
[Your mom’s touch was amazing.]
[....]

"I guess you really can’t hear me."

There was no response.
I had even provoked her by touching the Saintess’s soles, but still no reaction.
She was either not hearing me or was too busy to respond.

[Status window.]

-Crack.
[Currently in the middle of a major overhaul, Master~.]

The cause was probably this.
Ever since I evolved into a soul form, my status window had been useless.

Hypnosis-chan was clearly busy working to fix it.
When it would be done... was anyone’s guess.

It didn’t seem right to ask Hypnosis-mong for help at this moment.

"Yujin? Why are you just staring blankly?"
"I was just thinking for a moment. Wondering how to break this seal..."
"Did you make any progress, disciple?"
"No."
"I see…"

After a brief meditation, my consciousness returned.
When I said there was no progress, my mentor’s expression darkened slightly.
It seemed my memory seal was bothering her.

-Muttering.
"If my disciple won’t have kids with me, well, it’s unfortunate, but... it’s a little sad…"
"...."

Correction. It really seemed to be bothering her.
She was visibly upset, twisting her body to show just how hurt she was.

I couldn’t help but laugh.
She was so honest; it was adorable.

"Well, there’s nothing I can do about it."
"Then, shall we try to restore my memory first?"

I couldn’t just leave my cute mentor sulking.
I decided to focus on retrieving my memory.

-Whip.
"Really?!"
"Now that I think about it, there are some memories that are a bit hazy."

For instance, the memory of my final moments.
Normally, a regression happens when you die, but...
I didn’t have any memory of dying.

I just drank in the safe house, then when I opened my eyes, I had regressed.
That’s all I remembered.

No, in fact, the end of that memory was even more unclear.
I lived soaked in alcohol, but surely, something should have stuck in my memory.
But there was nothing. I didn’t remember anything.

The memory of the end of the regression, after my arm was cut off, was foggy, like there was a mist around it.

"That’s pretty much the situation. If I get my memory back, I might find more clues..."
"Oh, Yujin, come to think of it, there’s one memory I remember! The scene where you were sent off after your arm was cut off!"
"...What?"

The long explanation was suddenly interrupted.
It was Alice who burst in, her eyes sparkling.

"Wasn’t there a Yujin who had his arm cut off and gained some weight? In that white space..."
-Panting.

She quickly began recounting the memory she had recalled.

In that white space. Her crying as she sent me off after I lost my arm.
And me, smiling as I watched her.
At the end...

"Then you said something like this. You’d make us truly happy this time. You’d be the best man for us."

It was a line I would say when I wanted to look cool.
I was stunned, completely taken aback.

"...Really? But if my arm was cut off, it would have been after 15 years, right? Alice, you only remember 1 year’s worth."
"Yeah! Right, Shia?"
"Yep. Aika, do you remember something similar?"
"Now that I think about it, I do vaguely recall something like that."
"Even Sensei and Shia…"

It seemed that all my wives had that memory.
They couldn’t recall much else—only about one or two years after meeting me.
But that last memory? They all had that faint recollection in common.

Their expressions turned serious.

"...."
"Then, I really wasn’t regressed without warning."

The biggest issue now was, why was this a secret?

I had already been told who made me regress.
They gave me the power.
They did everything for me.

So why was this a secret?
And the reason I didn’t have children with my wives?

There must be a huge secret hidden here.
As a returnee, I had to uncover the final seal.

"It will help us uncover the secret related to us. Furthermore, it will be a huge help in dealing with the EX-Class Gate."

-Muttering.
"It’s not that kind of thing… it’s actually a trivial reason..."
"Huh? What did Shia say?"
"Nothing, you fool."

Though Shia, for some reason, seemed indifferent...
Well, it was probably because she was hungry and tired.
She had been running around all day since yesterday.
Even staying up all night to prepare for the EX-Class Gate incident.
It's only natural she'd be exhausted and annoyed.

I didn’t mind and continued speaking.

"Ahem. So, how about we all think about this together? How can I break this seal?"
"Hmm. A way to make my disciple remember, huh."
"How should we do it...?"

The atmosphere became serious.
Both my mentor and I, Alice too, crossed our arms and entered deep thought.

Since the fate of this world seemed tied to uncovering this secret, my shoulders tensed…

-Suddenly.
"———We have no choice but to have sex, right?!"
"……!!!?"

At the moment my shoulders tensed, I heard that voice.
I turned to Alice in shock.
What are you talking about, Alice?

"Wh-what do you mean, suddenly bringing that up...?"
"Just hear me out! First, Ninomiya-san, the fact that your memory came back means you at least kissed Yujin, right?"
"......? Well, yes, that’s true."
"So that means, Yujin evolved after kissing all three of us, right?!"
"Ugh."

For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.
Alice had figured out the condition to lift my seal, which I had been keeping secret because it was awkward to talk about.

However, Alice didn’t give me a moment to catch my breath.

"But the fact that there’s still a seal... logically speaking, it can only mean one thing — sex!"
"What... what do you mean?"
"If Yujin has sex with all three of us, his memory will come back!! And the rest of our memories too!!"

After that, Alice passionately argued her point.

She recalled how she and the others regained their memories after a kiss.
My evolution also happened right after kissing all three of them.
However, the memories they remembered were partial.
And I had my own unclear memories as well.

To resolve this?

"Obviously, the next step after a kiss is... sex!!"

It always came back to mating. Only mating.
Alice argued this passionately, and her confidence gave her words a strange persuasion.

"No, that can’t be... no way..."
"Look, Shia! After having sex with Yujin yesterday, you called in the Cheonhwa Clan like you were possessed! You obviously have your memory back!!"
"......!!!"

Alice even provided additional evidence.
My eyes naturally turned toward Shia.

The mystery of why Shia rushed out of the house after our night together.
And how she led the Cheonhwa Clan and conveniently called Kkong at just the right moment.
It all lined up with Alice’s theory.

"Shia, is this true?"
"…I don’t know anything about it."
"Eh?"

But Shia just gave an evasive response.
She didn’t confirm anything, only giving a sly smile that I couldn’t interpret.

"Shia, now is not the time to lie!! This is about the survival of humanity!!"
"I really don’t know~."
"Shia!!"

Alice scolded her with a sharp voice, but...
"Is it true? This could very well be something that happens in a game, right?"

I wasn’t going to stop them and focused on my thoughts.
If Alice’s guess was right, I would have to start playing the 'mating uncle' role right away.

"There are two possibilities: Shia really doesn’t know, or she can’t say anything because of some logic restriction."

If it’s the latter, I could just do it right now.
Unlike them, I could bend certain 'rules' to my advantage.
Just like I revealed the truth about my regression.

But... if it’s the former?

Even if they remembered, they probably wouldn’t have any recollection of our first night together.
For them, the first experience would be precious above all else.
Would I just go along with this in the heat of the moment and let it all end without any meaning?

"Ugh, garbage. A completely irresponsible 'mating uncle.'"

That was a choice I, as a husband, should never make.
Unless it was to prevent the destruction of humanity, I had to make my wives as happy as possible.

"A choice between two outcomes. Win or lose."

"Mentor. Alice. Listen. Right now, this is..."

After organizing my thoughts, I quickly spoke.
I wanted to ask everyone’s opinion before figuring out what to do.

And then...

-Heh.
"So, disciple? I guess we’ll have to start making babies until your memory comes back... right? Hehe."
"...Mentor?"
"Well, it can’t be helped. It’s a bit awkward that the first time is an Fffm foursome, but it’s all for the sake of the world... Hehehe."
"Alice!!?"

I met the eyes of my two wives, whose eyes were full of madness.
Anyone who saw us would think they were raring to go.
But, of course, it wasn’t really like that.
It was probably just their sense of duty.
The sense of duty to stop the EX-Class Gate, even if it meant sacrificing their virginity.

Thanks to that, my conflicted heart leaned in one direction.
Rather than gambling on an uncertain outcome,
I decided to focus on making my wives happy.

"I have time, so there’s no need to rush into this. I’ll try my best, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll try then."

[Shia, save me!!]

So, I urgently sent out a cry for help.
My two wives were planning to flatten me for world peace.
I asked them to help me.
I had to ask Shia, who had been observing quietly with her chin propped up.

And what was Shia’s response?

[Hehe~ I don’t really care.]
[Shia?]
[It wouldn’t be so bad to try it with all four of us, right? Those two can’t go on for long since they’ve lost their virginity, but I’ve gotten used to it.]
[Shia? Shia!?]
[When those two are passed out after a few rounds, I can keep going... would be kind of fun....]
[Shiaaaa!!!!]

I felt the knife hit my back, stabbed by the wife I trusted.
She seemed to want to take advantage of this situation and gain some relative power over me.

A scream escaped me.
It was the natural reaction of a married man about to face an unmerciful endless ordeal.

"Heh, heh, disciple. For the sake of the world, it can’t be helped. Please, take off your clothes..."
"I don’t have a condom, but it’s okay, Yujin. It’s an emergency situation, after all..."
[Shia! Please save me! I’ll do anything later!!]

Despite everything, Shia was my only hope.
I desperately clung to my wife.
Please, save me.

And Shia...

[Sigh. You’re such a fool, you know? You really know how to make someone’s heart soften.]
[What do you mean?]
[I’ll help you. Just stay quiet for a bit.]
[Angel!!!]

She smiled as if to say, "Trust me."
That smile looked so trustworthy that I almost cried.

Yeah. I’ll trust Shia.
She’ll make it work somehow.

***

• Crash.

"This... this is how it's supposed to be, right? My body is like this, all transparent, like a disciple!!"
"…You’re crazy."
"So, does this mean we can make babies now, before that little brat Alice?!"
"……"

Shia. I said I trusted you, but I didn’t expect you to even evolve my mentor.
Aren’t you just a bit too amazing?
