Chapter 250 – Secrets, Friends (2)

“Yeah…”

Actually, it wasn’t that forced, but anyway, it’s like I attacked by force… ?
I tried to apologize honestly, remembering the advice Grape had given me, but I looked Lapid in the eye and shut his mouth.
I know this expression.

The expression Grape had already done several times… However, unlike when I saw Grape, I felt a strange feeling from Rapid.
It’s not that I don’t like it or I’m offended, but I’m really confused because I don’t understand why… It’s an expression.
A strange feeling of incongruity swirls in my head.

Come to think of it, the answer to why you think that way is a little strange.
As I expected, when I said this, Rapid should say something like, “It was shocking, but it’s okay,” Or “Hello.”
I kept apologizing for that, and as Grape told me, I was going to apologize until I accepted the apology…

Why… If you ask why, you mean you want to know why?
To ask why I made such a mistake… Not the same.
So if you ask me… Why are you apologizing for this?

… Why?
Are you wondering why you’re apologizing?
The moment I was about to fall into doubt, an employee who entered the screening room came out and looked at Rapid and said in a loud voice.

“Customer! Please leave due to cleaning time!”
“Ah yes! Sorry!”
“Uh…”

Rapid jumped up from his seat, apologized, and glanced in my direction.
… I have to go out at once.
Feeling the atmosphere of the situation I was about to apologize for breaking, I got up from my seat with Rapid and walked out of the screening room.

“… Anger, why are you apologizing to me?”
“Yes?”

As soon as I came out of the screening room, Rapid asked while holding my wrist in a dark hallway where no one else was.
I was confused by the sudden question.
Why are you apologizing… Because I was wrong… Strictly speaking, I don’t think it was my fault, but I felt like I had to apologize anyway to make Rapid feel better… ?

“Because you embarrassed Rapid?”
“That… Still… Isn’t that something to apologize for?”

Why is this not something to apologize for?
Maybe this is what men in love often experience?
Are you asking if I really don’t know what I want to apologize for?

“And… I hate being with Mr. Anger… What the hell is that…”
“… Don’t you like it?”
“I don’t like it!”
“Why?”

I asked back, not understanding why Rapid said he didn’t like being with me.
No, it’s not that I don’t hate it, it’s rather good, but I don’t understand it.
I don’t understand what I don’t understand… The logic is messed up.

Rapid was growing to like me, but he grew to dislike me to the point of ignoring me because of my mistake…
In order to do something about it, I used the magical girls of the subway to hypnotize Rapid and restore the situation.
But Rapid doesn’t hate me… ?

“Yeah… That… That…”

Rapid gave no answer and dropped his head with his mouth shut.
He closes his eyes slightly, trembles his lips, and says nothing.
I kept thinking about why Rapid didn’t like me, and I found the answer.

I get it.
It is because of hypnosis that I like.
Knowing the answer, I nodded my head, feeling the confusion in my head go away.

Stirring and overlapping the situation, forcibly twisting it, creates a situation that even the hypnotized person cannot understand.
Rapid hates me but likes me… I think you should understand it like this.
Being so confused, even Rapid couldn’t answer easily.

If so, the direction of the apology should be corrected.
Rapid doesn’t dislike me to the point of ignoring me.
Right now, I like this, but something surprising happens, and I feel embarrassed and momentarily rejected… I think you should understand it like this.

It would be better to apologize to Rapid for the incident and clear up the misunderstanding.
It emphasizes the fact that if Rapid is the opponent, all men will have to do it.
It goes in the direction of letting them know that in the romance that Rapid likes, there is not only pure affection, but also desire for each other.

“Because I did that… Are you reluctant to meet?”
“That… Act?”
“Forcibly… Didn’t you?”
“Forcibly… ?”
“… Yes?”

I brought it up to apologize again, and I fell into confusion again as I saw Rapid tilting his head.
It’s like you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’ve never erased the memories of that time… Why are you doing this?

“Miss Anger… ? Being forced… What are you talking about?”
“Go… Forcibly… You ran over… ? I am?”
“… Ah!”
“So… You don’t like it?”
“Oh no!”

… What?
What?
What… ?

… Don’t you hate being forcibly attacked?
Rapid then… Is it good to be attacked by force?
Grape likes to be attacked by force, and Rapid likes to be attacked… So are you friends with each other?

“It’s better to attack by force… All?”
“Ah, ah, ah, no?! Why do you talk like that..?!
“That… Right? Isn’t this?”

Isn’t this… ?
Why not this… ?
Confusion never subsides.

“Then I don’t like holding hands… ?”
“No, that… Excuse me… Shi, I don’t like… I’m not…”
“If… Unless you don’t like… Is it something more eerie? Is it disgusting?”
“No?! No! Joe, great! I like holding hands!”

I like holding hands… ?
Rapid’s hands are supposed to feel like pussy… So you’re saying it’s good for me to hold your pussy?
No… No, obviously, Rapid must have said that the act of holding hands in itself is good.

“… You don’t like me getting excited, do you?”
“Yes? That, that… That is…”

If so, this is the only reason Rapid hates me.
I confidently asked the question, thinking that this time it would be the right answer.
Rapid hesitated at my question and glanced between my legs.

“Don’t you like it?”
“What I don’t like… That is… Oh, oh, no… Not… Thing… Same… Pray… That…”

… You don’t like this either?
Then what… Is it all good?
Why… ?

I involuntarily tilted my head to the side and tilted my head, then raised my head in a sudden thought.
I get it… This is also because I hypnotized Rapid into liking me.
There is also a hypnosis that makes me want to do what I want, so I remember what I didn’t like before as something I like… Is it

Weird… Hypnosis wouldn’t be like that…
As far as I’ve been experimenting and finding out, this hypnosis application doesn’t manipulate memories so conveniently.
The back and forth don’t match…

No way… Could it be that all of these answers were not due to hypnosis, but was Rapid thinking that way from the beginning?
Rapid from the beginning… It wasn’t that he hated me that much… ?
Then why didn’t you contact me and ignore me… ?

“Why… You think I hate it… ?”

In the midst of the confusion, Rapid asked, glancing at my face with his wet eyes until he blushed and was about to cry.
I gave up my thoughts and answered Rapid honestly.
There is an answer to this question based on clear evidence that even Rapid cannot say.

“You didn’t reply to my message… ?”

The lengthy time gap between messages displayed in a messenger chat window is evidence of disregard that anyone can admit.
Rapid has no choice but to admit this.
Rapid ignored me.

“That?! That’s right… Sorry! That’s really… ! Seriously, I was wrong… Oh, I kept thinking that I should apologize.”

Looking into Rapid’s eyes, I was taken aback.
I can understand it because I like Rapid.
This is sincere.

Rapid is sincerely sorry for not replying to my message.
I’ve never been hypnotized to feel guilty for not replying to Rapid.
I’m not lying…

“That’s it… I’m busy, I’m busy… Me, me… You’re a magical girl…”
“No matter how busy you are… Every few days…”
“Sorry… I really… Well, I don’t know what to say…”
“I don’t know what to say… ?”
“Wealth… I’m shy… Really, it’s because I’m ashamed… ! I don’t like it, it’s not that I hate it!”

I’m ashamed… I didn’t send you a message… ?
Is that possible… ?
No, it’s possible… Is it free?

Being touched by a man for the first time… Hugging… A man’s genitals are pressed against his stomach… Being pulled… Hold his hand… Peaked…
Even the fact that she had hidden physical characteristics and inverted nipples was revealed.
Shame on you… Certainly, if I did this… If I had been beaten by the company, I would have wanted to take a month of absenteeism without writing a letter of resignation right away.

“I… Then, maybe… Are you saying you didn’t contact me because of something embarrassing?”
“Yes… Yes, say… I’m doing…”
“Is that all?”
“Yes… It’s not that I didn’t contact you for any other reason… Sorry… Really, it’s not that I hate it… Really, what was ignored… Oh, I won’t do that in the future!”

After listening to Rapid’s apology, I noticed something strange.
It wasn’t just because I didn’t reply that I felt like Rapid was ignoring me.
Rapid lied to me.

“Dispatch… ? Um, dispatching to another area… ? Today, but… Did you come out?”
“That, that… ! That… Suddenly, on the National Guard side… I switched to Grape…”
“Yes… ?”
“I can’t tell you because it’s confidential, but I think it’s a bit serious… I said I was going… The Defense Force said that Grape should go after that… Suddenly, an amendment was made, so I couldn’t go… I’m sorry I didn’t talk about that…”

Therefore… The National Guard suddenly asked to send Grape, so Rapid was left behind… Rapid didn’t tell me about it because he wasn’t ashamed… ?
In the end, it wasn’t that they hated me or wanted to ignore me, I just… Was it really just embarrassing?
The rest is a misunderstanding that I over-thought on my own… ?

“A little, well, time… Because I need… It’s time to calm down… I don’t even know why I said that… That’s me, I’m a girl too, right? As Anger said… Me too, I’m ashamed…”
“Ah… Uh, that’s right…”
“Sorry for the late call! But, I was trying to contact you because the movie was until this week! I barely contacted you, but… Really, that’s… !”
“I see… Ah… I see.”

This… That’s what I was thinking before I hypnotized him… Even before hypnosis… Because that’s what I thought… If it wasn’t for hypnosis, you’re probably saying that I would have contacted you to meet you today…
I see… It was just incredibly embarrassing…
I found out that I have inverted nipples… Really to the limit… I’m ashamed… It’s like rapid…

What can I say about this feeling…
The fact that Rapid didn’t contact me wasn’t as big a deal as I thought, and it’s disheartening.
I was so worried, and I was so happy that I was hypnotized and restored to its original state… Actually, it was all in vain…

“Uh…”

Let’s just think that time will solve it, one thought suddenly comes to mind.
… Then why the hell did I use the magical girls on the subway like that… ?
A belated feeling of guilt coldly scrapes down the spine.
