I won't be a loser.

"Not interested."

"Aren't you afraid that mom will find out?"

"She doesn't know anything right now, so it doesn't matter even if she finds out."

After listening to Kento's words, Eriri couldn't help but fall silent. Looking at Kento who had a calm and somewhat indifferent expression on his face, she recalled her mother when she was dating Kento, and compared her with Sayuri now. She silently moved the lunch box back in front of her.

Looking at the content of the two people's seemingly encrypted conversation, which was something she did not understand at all, Futaba Rio felt a strong sense of loss in her heart. She lowered her head quietly. The three of them were eating their own lunch boxes, and no one spoke again.

At the end of lunch, Kento let Eriri go back to the classroom first. The girl glanced at him and Futaba Rio, put away the lunch box, and turned to leave the laboratory without much reluctance.

"She's the Sawamura who had the rumor with you?"

"You know her?"

"blond."

"Because she's the only blonde girl in this Toyo-no-Zaki, did you recognize her?"

Futaba Rio nodded. Perhaps she could not recognize the other girls who had rumors and gossip about Kento very well, but as for Sawamura with her iconic blonde hair, she believed that everyone in this school would be able to recognize her identity at a glance.

"For some reason, I got to know her, so... well, a lot of things happened."

"I can tell."

Although she is not very good at socializing, it does not mean that she can't see some details about Kento and Eriri just now.

The two people who seemed to be keeping a distance were actually keeping a certain frequency in sync without realizing it. That was the tacit understanding that only people who had been together for a long time could have. Upon noticing this, Rio Futaba was in a very bad mood.

But there was no reason to ask, so I could only hide this curiosity deep in my heart.

Lunch time is over, but there is still some time before the end of lunch break. Xianren, who has nothing to do, is not in a hurry to go back to the classroom. Even if he goes back, he has nothing to do.

He glanced at Futaba Rio who was sitting opposite him and suddenly asked a strange question.

"Futaba, let me ask you a question."

"Ah."

"Do you think quantum physics can be used for hypnosis?"

"........"

After Xianren finished his question, the environment in the entire laboratory seemed a little quiet. Futaba Rio, who was standing opposite him, did not answer, but just looked at him with a subtle gaze.

Xianren, whose heart was full of various thoughts, did not pay attention to Futaba Rio's gaze. While he was thinking about what hypnosis was, Futaba Rio slowly opened her mouth and gave her answer.

"Hypnosis is a subject of psychology, right? What does it have to do with quantum physics?"

"is it not OK?"

"... Maybe, maybe, it can be done."

Looking at the somewhat regretful look on the face of the wise man in front of her, Futaba Rio was silent for a moment, her eyes wandered for a moment, and she gave a vague answer.

"Hmm? It seems like a perfunctory answer, but since it's possible, why not give it a try?"

After hearing what Xianren said, Futaba Rio looked at him with some confusion for a moment, then slowly narrowed her eyes and stared at the Xianren in front of her and observed him carefully. When she found that his eyes were very calm, without any waves or evil thoughts at all, she calmed down a little.

"Are you planning to hypnotize me?"

Mysterious topics like hypnosis have become popular a long time ago. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is mysterious and strange, but among professionals, it is a very common psychological suggestion behavior.

By using language and actions to intervene, the hypnotist gradually falls into a sleepwalking state, and then uses his own language to manipulate the person who has fallen into a state of unconsciousness and confusion and can move to a certain extent...

The two people sitting in the laboratory, Kento and Futaba Rio, knew nothing about this. When Kento mentioned trying hypnosis, even Futaba Rio, who had never read similar hypnosis-themed works, became alert all of a sudden. Girls are naturally wary of this aspect.

For girls, any behavior that makes them let down their guard or give up thinking is worthy of attention and vigilance.

"No, it's not me who hypnotizes you, but you who try to hypnotize me."

Xianren pointed his finger at himself. He was naturally very interested in hypnotizing Futaba Rio. If he could really succeed in hypnotizing her, it would be quite interesting. He also wanted to see what Futaba Rio, who always remained calm, would look like when she lost her composure. It seemed like he wanted her to... learn to meow like a cat?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xianren clenched his left fist, placed it in front of himself, coughed lightly, and gathered his scattered attention.

"Hypnotize...you?"

Rio Futaba thought that Kento had some ideas and was struggling in her heart about whether she should agree. However, the words spoken by the person in front of her made her suddenly at a loss as to how to react.

"Because hypnosis itself requires giving up resistance and trusting in its effects, and also remaining relaxed for it to succeed, right?"

Kento suddenly became talkative, leaving Futaba Rio speechless for a moment. She had never realized that Kento had such an interest in this aspect.

"You seem to know it very well?"

"Because it seemed interesting, I researched and learned about it for a while. I wouldn't really call it research, I simply bought some related books and read them. I'm a complete layman."

Probably anyone who knows about the existence of hypnosis will be more or less interested in it, especially some young people who have read about this subject. They will probably be quite interested in hypnosis as a psychological suggestion behavior.

"Since you already know about this, why..."

"Let's not talk about these for now. Let's try it first. I will try self-hypnosis."

"......"

If you can already hypnotize yourself, is her existence still necessary?

Looking at the wise man in front of her, Futaba Rio couldn't help but fall into helplessness for a long time. After watching the wise man in front of her explain to her, she searched in the laboratory, used a string to pull up a five-yen coin, hung it in the air, and looked at the wise man who was already sitting in front of her.

"Wearing a white lab coat and using a coin to hypnotize people, I feel a bit like a psychiatrist."

"Then, the hypnosis begins."

When she walked in front of Kento, Futaba Rio actually had no interest in hypnosis. It was not that she thought hypnosis was ineffective, but she did not think hypnosis was so simple that it could succeed all at once.

The fair and slender right hand held the thin silk thread, hung the coin on it, placed it very close in front of the sage, and began to shake it gently.

"Look at it."

"You are very sleepy now...very sleepy."

Futaba Rio recited the lines that Kento told her verbatim. Looking at Kento in front of her, whose eyes were focused on the coin with no change in expression at all, Futaba Rio felt... so stupid.

"are you asleep?"

"No, when you spoke, there was no emotion at all. It actually made me feel very energetic and I couldn't feel sleepy."

"...What do you want to say?"

"Try speaking in a gentler tone, like you're talking to your lover, your husband, or your beloved child. Speak with love and affection. Try it?"

"........"

Futaba Rio, who has never been in a relationship, looked at the wise man in front of her with a numb expression and sighed softly.

The first two feelings were relatively normal. Even if she felt that the wise man in front of her was teasing her, it was understandable. But the last one, "dear child"... She had known the wise man for such a long time, but she didn't know that he had such a habit.

"I try my best."

After pursing her delicate lips and remaining silent for a while, Futaba Rio took a deep breath, slowly raised the coin in her hand again, and gently waved it in front of Xianren.

"You, now, feel sleepy."

"My eyelids feel heavy, and I really want to sleep..."

She imitated the TV dramas and advertisements she had watched, and used the method of coaxing a child, softly talking to the wise man in front of her. She shook the coin lightly, and saw the boy in front of her. Her expression gradually softened, and her eyes gradually flickered, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Futaba Rio was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this was only the second time and the effect was so significant?

'Is he lying to me?'

Futaba Rio, who had doubts in her heart, recited the lines given by Kento softly. Seeing Kento's eyes gradually losing focus, she recited the last line.

"The person in front of you is the one you trust the most. Everything she says is for your own good, so...what's your name?"

Whispering softly, Futaba Rio looked at the wise man in front of her, her eyes had completely turned into a dazed state, as if staring at herself unconsciously.

"Miya, Miyamizu, wise man..."

The voice was very soft, like an unconscious murmur in sleep, which made Futaba Rio look down at the coin in her hand.

Is the effect really that good?

She doesn't believe it.

"age?"

“.......3....16 years old.”

"Ok?"

Slightly narrowing her eyes, Futaba Rio seemed to have heard something subtle wrong just now. She slowly narrowed her eyes and stared at the boy in front of her.

When he opened his mouth just now, he said '3', right?

"Just now, did you say '3'?"

There was a moment of silence. When suspicion grew in Futaba Rio's eyes, the wise man in front of her spoke up and responded.

"Yes."

"Why did you say '3'?"

“I’ll always be 3.”

"......"

Hypnosis is a very scientific subject, xdm, of course, it can't be as good as what is described in the book.

Cherry Blossom Season: 137. Then follow through to the end

Futaba Rio felt that Kento was teasing her, and she looked at the boy in front of her with calm eyes. She slowly raised her left hand, stretched out two fingers and stabbed Kento's eyes, but stopped in front of him.

Looking at those empty eyes, which did not blink even when her fingers were placed in front of them, Futaba Rio felt a little weird again. She withdrew her hand and leaned over to look at the wise man in front of her.

"Are you really teasing me?"

She whispered softly, but there was no response from the person in front of her. Futaba Rio lowered her eyes and looked at Xianren's hands.

"Raise your left hand."

The wise man sitting in front of her slowly raised his left hand.

"Next is the right hand."

The wise man also raised his right hand.

Looking at Xianren's hands, Futaba Rio held Xianren's left hand with her right hand, and moved a little closer to Xianren, slowly lowered her head, looked at the hand she was holding, and gently raised it in front of her.

A look of hesitation flashed across her face, but seeing that the sage in front of her had no reaction at all and seemed to want to continue being 'hypnotized' like this, she slowly opened her cherry lips and gently bit the sage's index finger.

She opened her mouth and gently bit the other person's finger with her white teeth, applying a little force, and looked at the expression on the wise man's face.

Normally, when encountering such a situation, a person's conditioned reflex would cause him to unconsciously pull his arm back in an instant, but as she gradually exerted force and looked at Xianren's calm expression, she gave up.

She couldn't really bite off Xianren's fingers, and looking at the completely unresponsive Xianren in front of her, Futaba Rio gave up the idea of "waking him up".

"Who was the girl you talked to at the school gate yesterday?"

She was just a little curious, and since the person in front of her didn't want to wake up, she would use this opportunity to unravel the confusion in her heart.

"A second-year senior."

"relation?"

"She likes me."

"......"

Futaba Rio fell into silence for a moment, she did not expect that Xianren would be so "straightforward". Blinking and looking at the Xianren in front of her, whose expression remained unchanged, still calm, without a trace of blush, she even admired him a little.

"Why do you think she likes you?"

"Because she told me so herself."

Probably, there had never been so many times in the past year that she was left speechless. Listening to Kento's as-it-should-be-true, yet subtly unpleasant answer, Futaba Rio's mood gradually became worse.

Looking closely at the boy in front of her, she asked the next question with mixed feelings.

"So, you're dating her?"
