Desires and Will
The reason I brought Saran home was simple.
I wanted to plant a suggestion in her.
As we continued our meal, I discussed various things related to her, and the outcome was that I ended up bringing her back to my one-room apartment today as well.
When we finally arrived at my house together, it had been quite exhausting, but today it had been nothing more than a normal walk around with her until we got home, so I felt oddly good returning.
Perhaps it was also because Saran had accepted my proposal.
“…I’ve been wondering lately, did you install a diffuser in the house?”
“Ah, that’s just my body scent, right? I don’t really use special diffusers these days.”
“…….”
It was probably the scent from the meat restaurant that lingered.
The moment I stepped inside, the familiar sweet aroma greeted both of us.
Well, it wasn’t truly a “sweet scent”—just the lingering trace of my own body that had settled into the house—so it was nothing special, just ordinary.
Still.
With Saran in tow, I hung one of my coats on the hanger, took hers, and welcomed her in.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
“Ah, first, the air conditioner…”
“Take it slow. It’s not that hot in the evening.”
“Still…”
Even though it wasn’t as brutally hot as last year’s summer, summer was summer.
So the moment I entered, there were a dozen things I needed to do.
I turned on the air conditioner and started by lowering the temperature to the coldest setting, then had to do a bit of cleaning… anyway, like Baek Eun-hwa, I had no choice but to move around frantically.
“Whew… Now it’s a bit cooler. Right?”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm… After walking around all day today, it’s pretty hot, isn’t it? Plus, stopping by the meat restaurant… it’s a bit sticky.”
The room itself was cooling down, but there were parts that couldn’t be helped.
Originally, I had walked around all day in summer, eaten at the meat restaurant, and not showered yet… it was only natural.
“Saran-ssi is the same, right?”
“A bit.”
Saran nodded slightly in agreement to my words.
She seemed quite sensitive to temperature, and after spending most of the day outside like today, it would be even worse.
I knew snakes were animals whose body temperature fluctuated greatly with the environment, and Saran was a snake mutant-type awakener.
She had probably gotten quite hot during the walking earlier.
Separate from the fact that snakes don’t sweat, since Saran was still a person, she would sweat, and she would feel uncomfortable.
“Hmm…”
When the thought reached that point, one dilemma arose.
Both of us had sweated in the summer heat, but was it right to lie on the bed and hypnotize in this state…?
Fundamentally, I wasn’t extremely particular about cleanliness, but… still, this was a part where my thoughts kept wandering.
Apart from simply lying down because Saran’s sweat would stain my bed, the person lying down would feel uncomfortable.
I thought it was no big deal if a pretty person’s sweat like Saran slightly stained the bed, but because of that worry.
“Saran-ssi. Want to shower?”
“…….”
“Wipe off some sweat, and lying down comfortably to hypnotize would be much more comfortable, right?”
“…Ah.”
“Right? After all, we’ve been walking around since this morning. Saran-ssi and I… sweated a lot, didn’t we? Let’s make it more comfortable this time.”
I asked.
Saran seemed surprised at first, but slowly nodded in agreement to my words.
She was really hot.
In her 20s, it was natural she’d be sweating in that weather.
“Shall I shower first?”
“…No, even so, the house owner should shower first.”
“Huh, is that so? You don’t have to yield.”
“You shower first.”
So, before hypnotizing, we started with the shower.
Actually, if I were a normal woman… I might have just said let’s shower together and entered the bathroom together.
It wasn’t that hard.
But I clearly treated the women including Saran as women…
“Huh.”
The bathroom was small to begin with.
Accommodating two people in the bathroom of a one-room apartment was inherently difficult.
Although it was a relatively large one-room, the bathroom wasn’t that spacious… so I decided to shower first, but regardless, I finished the shower as quickly as possible.
After all, there was a guest waiting outside, and she would be uncomfortable too.
“Saran-ssi, use the bathroom. The towel is on the shelf… Ah, the things inside, I’ll explain now. Come this way.”
“…I’ll put on clothes first.”
“Ehh, it’s not like I’m going to see anything. Just explain quickly.”
Saran pointed out some unnecessary parts, but the sweaty Saran being uncomfortable was more pitiful, and it was urgent, so I pulled her to the bathroom without putting on clothes, just with a towel wrapped around, and started explaining.
“Use this shampoo. Um… If you don’t like the scent, there’s another one inside, but… shall I smell it first?”
“…It’s fine. Just explain quickly.”
“Ah, yes. And this side is treatment, body wash… Ah, there’s oil here too. If you want, use it comfortably. And over here…”
Anyway, after earnestly finishing the explanation, I was immediately kicked out of my own bathroom.
My chest wasn’t as large as Saran or Baek Eun-hwa’s.
I don’t know what the problem is with being naked, but Saran probably wasn’t used to such things.
She just wasn’t familiar with situations like this.
Especially after being kidnapped last time…?
“By the way, it’s getting pretty late.”
While drying my hair slowly, checking the clock, it was already 9 PM.
It was about 12 hours since I met Saran in the morning… but I was surprised how much faster time had passed than expected.
After all, I seemed to have enjoyed today’s day quite a bit.
After drying my hair for a bit over 10 minutes, the closed bathroom door opened and Saran came out.
Hmm.
It’s bouncy.
Nice.
Like Baek Eun-hwa, and Saran too… do high-grade heroes have large breasts?
Of course, compared to Baek Eun-hwa, it was smaller, and her figure was overall more slender, but basically very pretty.
Ignoring the breast size, the gaze naturally went to her body.
“……I didn’t bring clothes.”
“Ah. Right. Wait a moment?”
…Of course, since I had to take out the clothes Saran would wear, I had to look away.
Anyway.
After showering, Saran had a slightly different atmosphere than usual.
Perhaps because I enjoyed the shower with warm water?
Her face was redder than usual, and at the same time, her hair still had some water in it, so a bit of sensuality?
Hmm.
A bit lewd.
No, it felt even lewder because she was pretty.
“Saran-ssi, I’ll dry your hair. Sit here.”
“…I can do it alone.”
“Ehh, I can’t let a guest who came to my house feel uncomfortable, can I? Here, sit comfortably on the bed. I’ll dry your hair.”
“…….”
Saran’s hair was quite long, and as a woman, drying hair after showering was quite troublesome, having learned it well over the past 20 years, so I said that.
After all, while Saran was showering, I was drying my own hair alone.
It was just like a brother-sister thing.
“Hehe.”
“…….”
So, I started drying the hair of Saran, who was wearing my Boxety… well, for Saran, it became regular size clothes, my shirt and pants.
I touched the soft black hair with my hand, adjusting the dryer’s strength and temperature so it wouldn’t burn.
After a bit over 15 minutes.
“Hmm… This should be enough. How was it? Drying the hair of other heroes is new to me, so I’m curious.”
Actually… I’ve done a lot of drying the hair of people who aren’t heroes.
But drying the hair of an adult like Saran, drying a hero’s hair, I really hadn’t done it.
I combed Saran’s hair lightly with a comb and asked that question, and luckily Saran gave a positive answer.
“Then, shall we start the hypnosis now?”
“…Yeah.”
“In hypnosis, there are two things I’ll talk about to Saran-ssi. One is asking what desires you have in your subconscious, and the other is helping you to express those desires outwardly, even a little in daily life.”
“I remember.”
“And through that, I plan to help Saran have a bit more… diverse will.”
It was already all talked about between Saran and me at the meat restaurant.
So, nodding indifferently to my words was natural.
Saran immediately laid her body on my large bed as before.
What I always feel every time is that the sight of a beautiful woman lying on the bed is incredibly lewd.
Especially lying on my bed was even more lewd.
“You seem quite familiar with being hypnotized. At first, you seemed quite wary.”
“I don’t do bad things.”
“Hehe, that’s true.”
The reason I brought Saran home and hypnotized her to talk about desires was one thing.
Saran without a clear goal or will.
To provide a goal and will to such a Saran.
She had always faithfully performed the tasks I ordered so far, but she rarely truly wanted anything.
“So…”
To draw out the hidden desires in Saran.
Through this opportunity, through desires, to allow her to express more diverse will in her usual daily life.
“Saran-ssi, slowly going down… down.”
I used hypnosis on Saran today as well.
