The Man with Hypnotic Powers Doesn't Hold Back the Second Time Around-Chapter 241

I almost faced social death, unintentionally.

To be fair, I had done a full display of my powers in public, didn't I?

That too, while Hypnosis-chan was sitting on top of me.

If this ever made it to the media, my social life would have been completely ruined...

Thankfully, I didn't get caught up in any controversy.

It was thanks to my comrades covering for me.

"Well... this is...?"

"No explanations for now! Ninomiya, first, get that pervert clothed. If someone catches a picture of that, it’s a disaster in many ways."

"...Hot! Ah, I understand!"

KWA-AAAAAANG!!!Under the order of the raid leader and the escort of my master, I was moved to the lodging in the blink of an eye.

They must have had a lot of questions about the full display of powers, but they seemed to prioritize my dignity as an S-Class.

Thanks to that, I was able to return to my place, dressed, before the sanctuary collapsed.

Since the sanctuary had damaged all surrounding electronics, including the CCTV, and the inside wasn’t visible from the outside, I wasn’t worried about being globally shamed.

At least, that was a relief.

"Seol Hayeon, Awakener! What happened here...?"

"As of now, I announce that the recent EX-Class Gate conquest has been completed."

"...Huh? Is that it? There are plenty of things to discuss, like the technique that stopped the monsters from falling, the barriers set up at the academy, and so on."

"We’ll organize the announcement later. For now, I just want to wash up. Right, Bocci? Sibylla?"

"......!!!? U-uh! I’ll wash up and give you an answer!"

"Ah... yes. The interview will be later. For now, I’ll go wash up."

Another thing.

We declared we would rest first.

All the interviews and announcements could wait.

On the surface, it was so the raid team could recover from the intense exhaustion...

Hesitation.[If they find out about this, the rumors about me and Yujin will only get worse. This could really blow up.]

[...I’m really sorry, Kkong.]

The real reason was to erase the traces of the divine enchantment.

[We’re going to wash up now... You, meanwhile, organize your explanation. What exactly happened?]

[R-right! Yujin, tell us clearly what happened!!]

[Yep.]

Another thing.

I was the only one who knew the full story.

To the others, it seemed like I had just dazzled them and then solved everything.

So, I had to explain.

To align our stories before the official announcement.

For this reason, I was given a brief respite.

I had the chance to adapt to my new body and assess the situation.

Of course, it was just a very brief moment.

"Hypnosis-chan, how am I supposed to face them after this?"

"Heh~ Did you like it, master~?"

"You little brat...!!"

Screech."Dad, I’m back~."

"Hm. Looks like you're ready to explain. Judging by how casually you’re joking around."

"......."

The time I wasted bickering with Hypnosis-chan.

During that time, everyone else gathered again.

In other words, there was no longer any room for escape.

"So, disciple? Why did you fall from the sky?"

"And then you sat that kid on top of you, and... well, got all stiff..."

"You loser, do you mean to say that I’m big in that sense!?"

Surrounding me were various accusations and criticisms.

"Most of all, that."

Shlick."What was the Saintess really about?"

"......."

‘Yeah, why is she still here?’

For some reason, the Saintess was still present.

There was so much to explain.

But, due to the Law, I couldn’t explain it all clearly.

Honestly, there were things I didn’t even fully understand myself, and I had to clarify those.

"Actually, the thing is..."

***

The overwhelming explanation surprisingly ended quickly.

It was thanks to Hypnosis-chan.

"I am the Master’s little sister! Hypnosis-chan!!"

"...What the hell?"

"You’re that tiny little thing? That passive skill Yujin kept talking about?"

"Yep! Mom—uh, I mean, the Lord granted me a big body because I behaved well!"

"The Lord? Do you mean that Lord from the Church of the Supreme God?"

"Yep, yep! The one who saved the Master from dying and put up all those shiny barriers? That’s all thanks to the Lord!"

While I was floundering to come up with an explanation, Hypnosis-chan opened her mouth and spoke.

She immediately cast her ultimate ability: the excuse that "it’s all because of the Supreme God, the Divine Constellation of Benevolence."

It wasn’t technically a lie, so it worked as a flawless explanation.

How did the others react to this?

"I see. So that’s the power of the gods... It did seem extraordinary. There was a majestic aura to it that couldn’t be mistaken for mana."

"Yujin, you suddenly felt divine back then. Like you were possessed or something."

"That's a miracle...!!! When I return, I’ll devote myself to the Church of the Supreme God!"

Unexpectedly, they all bought it.

They claimed they had instinctively felt it back when we were in the Sanctuary. Something like, Oh, this guy must be possessed by a god.

It wasn’t entirely incorrect, so I didn’t bother denying it.

"Hmm... Still, if we announce this publicly, it will throw the world into chaos. From now on, the mention of the Supreme God stays classified between the U.S., Vietnam, Korea, and Japan."

"...What? Then how are we supposed to explain it?"

"Just say that Yujin took care of everything. Because he actually did."

"No one’s going to believe that."

"Spin it as ‘an EX-rank unique ability.’ People will have no choice but to accept it."

"......."

Additionally, most of the credit for what happened was now attributed to me.

Even the unbelievable miracles were dismissed with, It’s all thanks to his EX-rank ability!

It felt a bit off, but anyway.

That’s how we aligned our stories before making any public announcements.

I was relieved we could gloss over the trickier parts of the explanation.

'Now, the only problem is....'

"So, you’re telling me you’re my loser little sister? I don’t remember having a sibling like you."

"So it wasn’t Yujin’s skill?"

"......."

'Ugh, one hurdle after another.'

There was the matter of convincing them about Hypnosis-chan’s sudden existence.

"And above all, who exactly is this Saintess?"

"Her energy isn’t quite like Yujin’s, but it’s immense. It’s like Miss Ninomiya."

"Seriously, what’s going on here? Explain yourself, Yujin."

For some reason, the Saintess wasn’t heading back to the Sanctuary and was just lingering around.

That, along with Hypnosis-chan, made for two particularly troublesome figures to explain.

'Hypnosis-chan, my soulmate. Do your thing again....'

But even Hypnosis-chan seemed clueless about the Saintess.

She kept sneaking glances at the Saintess, as if to ask, Mom, why are you still here?

To anyone watching, it was clear she didn’t know either.

"Um... We’re not entirely sure about the sequence of events. Give us a moment to discuss this privately."

[Mir, what is this? Isn’t having a Constellation among mortals a huge issue?]

[The Master is right!! Mom, why haven’t you ascended to full Constellation status yet?]

Hypnosis-chan and I cornered the Saintess and began interrogating her.

Her usual playful smile froze into an awkward ω-shaped expression.

[Well, I only became a Constellation relatively recently. It’s been about half a century, which is like less than a month in human terms.]

[Okay, and?]

[During that time, I used my divinity twice. Once to send you back in time and another to restore you to me. That drained my divinity completely.]

[I see.]

[So... I’m short on divinity now. I don’t have enough to ascend properly.]

[Oh.]

That was an entirely unexpected reason.

To put it simply: after paying transfer taxes twice, her divinity was completely depleted.

She failed her promotion to Constellation because of it.

[Isn’t this a huge problem?]

[Not really. I haven’t lost all influence, so I can still fulfill my duties as a Constellation. Plus, I have Apostles working for me in the Sanctuary.]

[Oh, good....]

[The downside is I’ll have to stay here in this body for a few decades until my divinity regenerates.]

[...What?]

Her divinity had been seized until she replenished it.

Until then, she’d remain a mere Transcendent.

That explained why she looked so normal when we met her.

I let out a sigh at this somewhat pathetic conclusion.

[Master, you fool!!!]

[Huh? Hypnosis-chan? What’s wrong?]

[That’s why I stuffed the divinity into your crotch!!! Why’d you just pull it out and hand it over!?]

[Oh.]

I finally realized why Hypnosis-chan had insisted on hiding the divinity there.

It was her way of avoiding the "transfer tax."

Apparently, consuming divinity directly reduced the loss significantly.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of her fiery "filial piety."

[Aren’t you overreacting? Mir probably wouldn’t have liked that anyway.]

[Well, you know... Without divinity, it feels really empty, you know?]

She fidgeted awkwardly.

[If I’d known, I might’ve just asked you to go along with it....]

[.......]

I was dumbfounded by her reaction, but there wasn’t much I could do about the past.

[Anyway, how should we explain your existence now?]

The Saintess flashed me her signature ω-smile.

[Let’s say I’m a divine beast sent by the Supreme God.]

[A divine beast?]

[Yes. Otherworldly Constellations have done similar things. I heard about one who possessed a dog to beg for food.]

[.......]

'What kind of dimension is that...?'

Still, calling her a divine beast wasn’t a bad idea.

The Church of the Supreme God already revered her as a Saintess.

And with those antler-like horns on her head, it wasn’t entirely implausible.

[I’m not a deer; I’m a dragon....]

[Anyway. What reason should we give for you being sent here?]

I stared at her, silently asking if she had anything in mind.

The Saintess grinned confidently.

[———To heal villains, of course.]

[...What?]

[Think about it. The Outsiders won’t be showing up for at least a thousand years....]

She began explaining her plan to deal with villains corrupted by Outsider influence.

"So that’s it."

After a long meeting, I relayed the plan to my comrades.

My new mission: to restore the villains to normalcy.

And to do it with the help of the divine beast Saintess and my partner Hypnosis-chan.

The reaction from my allies?

"Can you really fix those nasty little buggers, Dad?"

"It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible anymore."

"......Amazing! Daddy, you’re the best!!"

"Well, that’s great news."

Haru and Winterer clapped enthusiastically.

Having grown up among villains, they seemed to understand the weight of my mission.

"Did the Supreme God entrust this to you?"

"Yep. Oh, want me to help with the necromancer, too?"

"...I’ll think about it."

Kkong, still shaken by his experiences with the 0-rank villain necromancer, didn’t seem entirely convinced.

"Is it true? If villains stop being created and even those in the Abyss can be rehabilitated...?"

"Yes."

"...Hah. Hahaha! This sinful brat!! I can finally retire in peace!!"

The chairwoman burst into joyous laughter.

Her excitement was understandable; she had been stuck in her role as the "villain radar" for over sixty years.

Now that I had freed her from that burden, her reaction made perfect sense.

"The President will be pleased."

"By the way, about the mana fuel rods we used up...?"

"I’ll negotiate with the U.S. government. Given the damage they’ve suffered from villain-related terrorism, they’ll likely make concessions."

"Thank you."

Sibylla, ever pragmatic, didn’t seem too emotionally invested in the villain rehabilitation plan.

"You’ve really grown, Yujin. The whole world is going to rely on you now."

"...Shia?"

"Of course! Yujin, this is like something out of a drama!!"

"Well, he is my husband! It’s only natural!"

Surrounded by my three wives, their reactions were distinct.

But then they leaned in, whispering suggestively.

"Yujin, you have something else to take care of first, don’t you?"

"Now that everything’s settled, it’s time to make babies...♡"

"Eek."

Chaos ensued as Shia, Alice, and Ninomiya started bickering over who would go first.

In the background, Hypnosis-chan and the Saintess exchanged dubious looks.

[Hah. What a chaotic harem you’ve got, Master.]

[Your crotch is going to stay busy, huh? By the way, Master, if you bring me more divinity—]

[Ahem. I’ll think about it.]

And so, my new life began.

In a world free from the threat of the Outsiders, my journey to eradicate the seeds of evil continued.

With my beloved wives by my side, I stepped into the third loop of my life.

'This is manageable.'

The sense of loss I’d felt since losing my divinity was gradually replaced by the warmth of their love.

'Life with my wives really is the best.'

As I reminisced, a fleeting memory crossed my mind.

The name etched into my soul when I first became a Constellation.

Three words that defined my essence as a Constellation in my second life:

"The Constellation of Integrity... Doesn’t really suit me, does it?"

I smiled to myself.

'Oh well. From now on, I’ll live a life of integrity and happiness.'
