Episode 17: The First Suggestion Does Not Consume Points
Irina, having run out of the house, dashed blindly through the forest.
She ran over roots rising from the ground and darted through the thick mist, her movements as swift as the wind.
Deer and foxes resting in the shade of the roots scattered in all directions, startled by her presence.
"Haa, haa."
After running through the forest as if it were her own playground, Irina stopped near the eastern boundary, where the mist grew thick.
Dew beaded in the valley of her chest, her lungs and legs burning from the exertion.
"If I go any further..."
If she crossed the boundary and ran for about an hour without stopping, she’d reach the edge of the forest.
The thick mist would disorient most people, but for an elf, who could instinctively sense the flow of mana in the air, it was no real obstacle.
"Damn."
But it was as if shackles were tied to her boots; Irina couldn’t move from the spot.
"What am I hesitating for?"
She’d always wanted this.
She’d always said she’d leave this stifling place one day.
And now, she even had a decisive reason.
"...Mom."
But if she left, what about her mother?
She didn’t care much for her father, who never even came to visit, or the hometown that abandoned them.
But if she left, her mother would have to live here alone.
"Sigh. No, that man’s here now."
After 150 years of living alone together, to so easily accept a stranger-especially a suspicious man whose identity was unknown-was something Irina couldn’t understand about Elreina.
"Fine, let her live with him from now on."
Her rising anger lightened the weight of the shackles on her boots, if only a little.
But...
"...."
That was only one step.
"Hngh."
One step was easy.
She could still go back.
But two steps meant she wouldn’t be going back.
Of her 250 years, 150 had been spent here-this place was her home.
To throw all that away on a whim was hard for anyone.
The ancient trees, over 30 meters tall, seemed to mock her as they swayed their branches.
"Coward."
Muttering self-deprecatingly, Irina finally realized she had run out with nothing.
No bow. No quiver.
She’d learned from Elreina that the outside world was even more dangerous than this forest.
You should always have a weapon to protect yourself.
So, this wasn’t running away in fear.
She just needed to make proper preparations.
Hiding her excuse, Irina turned back from the mist with a determined stride.
Her steps as she turned back were lighter than when she’d taken the first.
Elreina, who had run out after Irina, returned home about 20 minutes later.
She must have lost track of Irina while chasing her.
Unlike the physically strong Irina, Elreina was more of a thinker.
"Will your daughter be alright?"
"She’ll be fine. She knows this forest like her own garden, unlike me."
Despite her words, there was a shadow in Elreina’s eyes.
She must have been worried that her daughter might really leave the forest.
"For now, this is all I can offer you."
Elreina placed a steaming cup of tea in front of me at the living room table.
"Thank you."
The tea was green like green tea, with unknown leaves floating in it.
After a brief hesitation, I took a sip. It tasted bitter, like medicinal herbs.
It smelled a bit like green tea and would probably go well with snacks, but honestly, it wasn’t to my taste.
Gently-
Elreina sipped her tea and kept glancing at my face, as if curious about my impression.
Instead of commenting, I set the cup down and changed the subject.
"Sorry, because of me..."
Elreina looked a bit flustered, then shook her head.
"There’s nothing for you to apologize for, Yaruo-nim. If anything, I should apologize. My daughter was really rude earlier."
As she bowed in apology, her large breasts naturally jiggled.
To apologize and arouse me at the same time-is this the dignity of a married woman?
"But please don’t think too badly of Irina. She was the one who found you collapsed in the forest and brought you here."
"Hm."
Yaruo.
I introduced myself with the default name from the game, but hearing it in someone else’s voice kept making me chuckle.
"Yaruo-nim?"
"Sorry, my foot was a little itchy. Please, go on."
Careful, careful.
Right now, making a good impression is important.
"Ahem!"
Elreina’s brief cough quickly restored the mood.
"If you’d stayed out there, you might have been in real danger. There are wild beasts like wolves in this forest."
"So Irina is my lifesaver, then."
Not that I’m really grateful.
In the game’s flow, Irina was always supposed to bring me here anyway.
If anything, I’m more worried she’ll try to kill me if things go wrong.
Unlike NPCs in games, people in this possessed world act on their own emotions.
I’ll have to be extra careful.
"But Elreina, you seem to accept that I’m from another world pretty easily?"
"To be honest, it’s hard to believe everything. But there’s no other explanation for why you’re here."
After 150 years of only seeing each other, someone suddenly appeared in their forest.
"Still, I didn’t expect you to let me stay so easily."
"Really?"
"Most people would react like Irina."
If someone mysterious showed up at my door, I’d ignore them.
Except Rizeta. She’s pretty.
"We high elves can’t ignore someone in trouble. It would be a disgrace to the pride we’ve built since our ancestors."
"But what if I’m secretly a bad person?"
"Oh? That’s not a problem."
Immediately, I felt a strange sensation in my arms.
The armrests of the wooden chair I was sitting in transformed, restraining my arms.
At the same time, the tea in front of me floated up and condensed into a sharp point at my throat.
"I may live out here, but I was a renowned mage back home."
"I-I see."
I hadn’t noticed a thing.
If I’d tried anything reckless, I wouldn’t have even had time to scream before dying.
"As long as you respect us while you’re here, we’ll respect you as much as possible. You’ll do that, right?"
"Of course."
Because I don’t want to die.
Elreina smiled and waved her hand in the air.
The restraints vanished, and the tea returned to the cup.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.
"As I said, you can stay here for now. We have a spare room."
"Understood."
"And don’t worry too much about Irina. If you take your time talking to her, she’ll come around."
As she spoke, Elreina kept glancing out the window.
Her finger tapped the table nervously.
Is it time?
Irina should be back soon.
Now, while I’m out of her sight, is the perfect time to register her.
==============================
[Hypnosis App]
HP: 0p.
[Shop] [Suggestion] [Hypnosis] [???] [Help]
"...That device, you called it a phone?"
When I took out my phone and launched the hypnosis app, Elreina immediately showed interest.
Ah, yes. This is a phone.
"Yes. It’s like a communication device from my world."
"Amazing. To think you can communicate with such a small board."
Her eyes sparkled at the unfamiliar device.
She was not only a skilled mage but a researcher, too.
After 150 years cut off from the world, she must be itching for stimulation.
As proof, there was a bookshelf in the corner of Elreina’s room, where I’d woken up.
All the book covers were worn and battered, meaning she’d read them over and over.
To someone like her, a mysterious device like a phone must be the most enticing bait of all.
"Would you like to take a look?"
"Is that okay? It seems valuable..."
But Elreina was already leaning halfway over the table toward me.
Her huge breasts were squished against the table.
"You’ve let me stay and even given me a room. Let me repay you with this, at least."
Of course, I’ll get plenty in return later.
Before handing over the phone, I pressed the [Hypnosis] button on the app.
The screen filled with swirling red and black lines.
"...It’s heavier than I expected. And I can sense a faint magic from it."
Like a fish biting a lure, Elreina took the phone from me without suspicion.
Her curiosity overcame her caution.
"What’s this moving image?"
I nervously clenched and unclenched my sweaty fists.
I just hoped she wouldn’t notice anything strange.
And then-
"Ah..."
As she stared blankly at the screen I’d brought up, the light faded from Elreina’s eyes.
Her shoulders slumped, as if her soul had left her body.
"Elreina?"
She didn’t respond, so I carefully took the phone from her hand.
Just like when I first launched the app, white text appeared on the screen.
[Elreina has been registered to the app!]
[You can now view the registered target’s status window through the app.]
[You can now use the ’Suggestion’ feature to input a suggestion for Elreina.]
[The target’s trance state has ended.]
"Huh?"
While I was reading the alerts, Elreina blinked and came to.
"Elreina, are you alright?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Yes? What was I... doing?"
"You looked at the phone and just handed it back to me."
"I did?"
"You must be worried about Irina. Even while looking at the phone, you kept glancing out the window."
At my words, Elreina tilted her head, as if trying to remember.
Before her suspicion could grow, I tried to change the subject.
Clatter-
Just then, the door opened and a savior appeared.
"Irina!"
At the sound, Elreina jumped up and hurried to her returning daughter.
"Where did you go? I was worried."
"Worried? I’m not a child."
Irina answered awkwardly as Elreina touched her shoulder, then shot me a disapproving look.
"...Tsk."
Clicking her tongue, she went straight to her room and slammed the door.
"Sigh."
Elreina bowed slightly to me, then swayed her hips as she followed Irina to her room.
They’re probably having a serious mother-daughter talk right now.
Not my business.
I turned my attention from Irina’s door to the app screen.
There was a small change.
The [???] button had changed to [Status Window].
==============================
[Status Window]
Name: Elreina
Age: 451
Race: High Elf
Lust: 0/100
Obedience: 0/100
[Status]
Anxiety due to the arrival of an outsider and conflict with daughter.
[Special Notes]
Feels extreme loneliness from long separation with husband.
[Secret]
Gets sexually aroused by milking her own breasts.
==============================
The content of the status window was similar to the game.
Most eroge have an "ero stat" system showing sensitivity by body part.
The original Elf Hypnosis game was like that, too.
But this status window just had Lust and Obedience, simplified.
The rest was already known.
"Better input a suggestion while I have the chance."
I returned to the home screen and pressed the [Suggestion] button next to [Hypnosis].
[Suggestion]
Elreina -
[There are currently 0 suggestions input for Elreina.]
[Please type the first suggestion for Elreina.]
[The first suggestion does not consume points.]
"Let’s see..."
If this were a game, I’d gradually earn points and increase the intensity of the commands.
But that’s too slow.
I moved my fingers and typed the suggestion for Elreina.
Just imagining what would happen next made my lower half stir with excitement.
[Clear Objective]
Conquer the heroines of this dimension.
Number of heroines conquered: 0 / 2
