Chapter: 67
Chapter Title: The Third Possession
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A hectic day flew by in a blur, and before I knew it, Sunday evening had arrived, the sky outside dyed a deep crimson.
Through the window, the characteristic languor and peace of the weekend wafted in.
But the air in my room, illuminated only by the flickering glow of my monitor, was something else entirely.
My eyes were fixed on a somewhat unfamiliar broadcast screen, one I was just starting to get used to.
"Hey there, my little darlings~! Welcome to your big sis Moca's stream~."
On the screen, a flashy 2D avatar bounced around with vibrant energy.
Lush brown hair cascading to her shoulders, cat-ear-shaped headphones.
A semi-formal outfit that cleverly accentuated a hint of cleavage.
The virtual streamer named 'Moca' that Lizetta had been watching on her tablet just two days ago.
"Coming to see your big sis on the weekend? You're all such good kids! Mwah mwah!"
The avatar winked and blew kisses into the air.
Her overflowing cuteness and coquettish voice sent the real-time chat into a frenzy of excitement.
Kya~ Kisses right at the start of the stream~! >_<
Huff huff... Did anyone miss the kisses 'cause they joined late? Big sis, one more for us!
Of course I missed the real kiss again.
Sexy yet endearingly clumsy in some way.
She handled her viewers with expert finesse.
Honestly, even as I watched, I could hardly believe it.
That the person behind that avatar was really Jeong Seung-ah from yesterday.
The shock when I registered her—knocked out by Lizetta's hand chop the night before—into the hypnosis app and checked her status window.
And her intimate sexual preferences, too.
Mi-na was one thing, but people really can't be judged by appearances.
As Moca was in the middle of thanking donations and bantering back and forth, an anonymous donor tossed in a heavy sum with a question.
Sis, you suddenly ended stream yesterday and I was super worried What happened?
The moment she read that message, Moca's avatar seemed to twitch ever so slightly.
She quickly let out an awkward laugh, as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry about that. Your big sis was so tired yesterday, I guess I just dozed off without realizing~ Eheh."
You've been grinding hard lately, so it's understandable. Don't push yourself—grab something tasty with this! Big sis fighting!
"Kyaa! Now big sis has no choice but to stream even harder! Love you~ Mwah!"
She wrapped up the situation with a steady, tremor-free voice like a pro.
The chat filled with teasing or cheers for her clumsy charm rather than worry.
Definitely not her first rodeo.
But then, shattering the peaceful vibe, another donation popped up in the center of the screen.
But sis, what about going upstairs yesterday? Did it get resolved?
For a split second, the avatar's movements froze unnaturally stiff.
"Upstairs...? Ohhh... Did I mention something about having business upstairs yesterday...?"
Her voice pitched up anxiously.
You said it was so noisy even during stream, you couldn't take it anymore and stormed up to confront them. That's why we were all extra worried.
"Ah~ Yeah, that's right! Haha... That thing... Yeah, it got sorted out! Yep. Just a little neighborly misunderstanding, but we cleared it up nicely! Hehe."
Oo~ So no big showdown with upstairs? lol With your temper, no way you'd just let it slide lol
"No, no~ Big sis isn't violent like that! Honestly, I was shaking just climbing those stairs yesterday! Thought my heart was gonna jump out!"
There it is, scaredy-cat Moca lololol
Bet she sat on the stairs for like 10 mins midway, too scared to keep going lololol
"Not true~! Big sis mustered up all her courage and went up there! You guys are so mean!"
She seemed to be trying to fire up her energetic tension in indignation, but her voice betrayed unmistakable bewilderment and confusion.
Still, thanks to the chat's rapid flow and other viewers pulling aggro, the topic quickly shifted.
"Phew."
Thought the hypnosis was about to break for a second there—scared me.
The hypnosis had never worn off before, but my heart raced every time something like this happened.
I'd put maximum care into the suggestion strength to avoid any sense of incongruity in her memories.
But this was just putting out a fire temporarily.
The real issue started now.
What to do with Seung-ah.
Best to layer suggestions thick enough to block any room for doubt.
But the worsening headaches and vision noise were concerning too.
Right then, a sly voice wormed into my head, as if reading my thoughts.
[You worry over such trivial things. Thought you'd improved, but you're still far off.]
"Shut up. Got a better idea, then?"
[Of course. Like always, a more reliable, safer... and above all, fun method.]
Its voice carried mischief laced with subtle temptation. As always, its suggestion was simple and straightforward.
[Like always, just make that woman yours. Turn her into a bitch in heat who can't live a single day without you, like those two from yesterday.]
Conquer her like the others.
It was the simplest and most reliable method.
Not as standout as Joo-young or Mi-na, but Seung-ah was pretty decent-looking.
The kind where you think she'd be even cuter if she dressed up more.
"Fine, say we do that—what's the plan?"
[Personally, I strongly recommend possession for a 'trait' acquisition. Cooldown's up anyway, right?]
Possession. The word made my heart skip oddly.
[And that Jeong Seung-ah girl? She has some pretty fun tastes, as you saw in her status window.]
Yeah.
Seung-ah's sexual preference.
It was a full-blown 'shota-con' fetish.
Limited to little brothers, no less.
[Heh, looks like it's built up quite a bit. What if you showed up as her perfect type? Pfft, fun just imagining it, right?]
It irked me that it could read my every thought, but yeah, picturing the scene sounded entertaining.
[Plus, you were snooping in her lewd game folder last night, pretending it wasn't you.]
"Keep your privacy invasions to yourself."
But it wasn't wrong.
No, bluntly put, Seung-ah's issue didn't really matter to me one way or the other.
Ever since checking her kinks, one thought had been lingering in the back of my mind.
If I could get a trait that de-ages my body, I could have fun in ways hypnosis couldn't touch.
Still, hesitation lingered in my heart.
The ability's side effects.
The secrets Child was hiding.
Suspicion crept in that something far more dangerous than I imagined might be lurking.
Just then, Lizetta, who had slipped into the room unnoticed, set a glass of water beside me.
Catching her presence, I asked on a whim.
"Lizetta... what would you have me do?"
She gazed at me steadily, then clasped her hands demurely in front of her.
No telling what thoughts hid behind that expressionless face.
"If I may humbly suggest, Master Hyun-seong, I believe you should do as you wish. Wouldn't that be the path with the fewest regrets?"
As I wish.
Was that truly her honest sentiment?
If I suspected Child, it was only natural to suspect its creation, Lizetta, too.
No way to know if her answer came from her own will or Child's influence.
Still, it cleared my thoughts somewhat.
[Puhuhu. So, made up your mind?]
"Yeah."
In a way, it was ridiculous.
Since when had I seriously agonized over the world's well-being or harm to those around me?
'Better to live joyfully in a sweet dream and die quick than suffer a lifetime in bitter reality.'
That thought hadn't changed since first meeting Child.
So the path I had to choose was already set.
[That's the spirit! As expected of the protagonist I chose. You've picked the possession target already?]
Of course.
The trait I needed could roughly be called 'Shota-fication.'
Not starting as a kid from the get-go, but a protagonist with the power to make their body younger.
Perfectly timed—there was a game in my lewd folder that fit this situation like a glove.
"One condition, though."
[Condition? What?]
"After this possession ends and I return, tell me about the things you're hiding... anything, even a little. I won't let it slide anymore."
Child fell silent at my firm demand.
[Puhuhu. Fine. I promise. You'll have to know someday anyway.]
It left a meaningful remark but said no more.
[Alright, ready? Close your eyes, and I'll send you off. A steamy, dizzying summer vacay preview. Have fun!]
I nodded silently and lay back comfortably on the bed.
As I closed my eyes, the familiar floating sensation came, followed by crisp system messages blooming behind my eyelids.
