Hobby Modification App; Episode 4, Day 2 : The Effects of the App.

"―I'm going. "

　In the morning, as I leave the house, I look back inside to see Suzune.

　I wonder if she is looking at me, and our eyes meet slightly.

　The eye of absolute zero is alive and well. Today, this is the second time since I woke up that our eyes meet in this way.

　It is a rare thing, isn't it?

　The encounter rate with Suzune is extremely low.

　It's like hitting the jackpot in a vending machine.

"Well then, Suzune, I'm going now."

　As I greeted Suzune, I noticed a slight movement in her mouth.

　I guessed she was saying something in a mosquito-like voice like she did this morning.

　As I try to guess what she is saying, Suzune quickly disappears into the living room.

　Well, it's not so different from yesterday, but the only difference is that she was watching me leave.

　Suzune would never have been able to do this before.

　Unless I talk to her, we don't even make eye contact.

　Well, when I try to talk to her, all I get in return is a pair of freezing eyes.

　But we have made progress.

　In any case, even the sound of mosquitoes with Suzune's voice is now flying in the air.

　What progress! It's on the level of man landing on the moon.

　Even Captain Armstrong would agree it's a great step.

　Finishing my stupid thought, I close the door of my house behind me and notice a black car parked in front of my front door.

　...Luxury limousine?

　The form and its appearance look like a long and wide luxury car you see in movies or something.

　As I was looking at the long luxury car suspiciously, the window of the luxury car was gradually opened.

　What I saw through the window, which I could not see inside, was a beautiful blonde girl.

"Good day to you. ―Keisuke Sato?  It's been a while since yesterday, hasn't it? "

　The confident attitude and the lady's language make you want to ask, 'Is that natural?' I couldn't help but want to ask her a question about the ladylike language.

　How could I forget?

　　Yesterday, the fourth person I modified, 一Reika Ichijouin, that's her.

"Good morning, 一Ichijouin...you're coming to school in a limousine, as expected, a real lady of the Ichijouin conglomerate..." 

　I said lightly, and the door of the limousine opened slowly.

　I guess she wants me to get inside...

"Let me give you a lift to school."

　一Ichijouin smiles sneeringly as if she is challenging me.

　It seems there is no escape.

　Well, if she offers to give me a ride, I'll be grateful for the ride.

　I take out my phone, just in case and open the [Hobby Modification App].

　I tap the red dot that seems to indicate Ichijouin, 

[Name: Reika Ichijouin]

[Hobbies: Playing the piano, Masturbating while thinking of Keisuke Sato]

　Is shown in the screen.

".... You don't want to? "

    I took my eyes off the phone and looked back at Ichijouin, who looked somewhat confused.

　I put the phone in my pocket.

"I'll get in. Thank you, let me hitch a ride."

　With that, I turned my attention to the limousine.

　―But, I'm in trouble...

　I see Ichijouin sitting opposite me in the limousine.

　Her hair hangs loosely on her chest in a roll, so dazzling that even the thin sunlight glinting through the frosted glass returns the glimmer, and her golden hair reaches down to her waist.

　Her chest, perhaps a blessing of her foreign blood, pushed up her uniform, and her skin is so clear and white that it is hard to believe that she is from the same Asian background.

　And then, her doll-like exquisite beauty that makes me feel scared, and her big blue eyes gazing at me with confidence.

　Once again, I wonder how intimidating she is.

　She is the only daughter of one of the world's leading Ichijouin conglomerates, the world's largest conglomerate. Her aura is so strong.

　Her whole body exudes an aura of  'I am a privileged person.'

"...It's quite lacking in delicacy to stare at people so conspicuously, isn't it?"

　Despite this, she looks as if it is natural for people to stare at her.

　She must be used to being stared at. I guess it's only natural with her looks.

"No, I just thought you had a strong aura. I don't mean anything by it. I apologize if I offended you."

"Oh, you know how to apologize."

　Ichijouin's eyes are very sharp.

　A beautiful woman's eyes are quite powerful, aren't they?

　Well, what should I do?

　Yesterday, I bought a fight that was being sold on the open market.

　The guy who was selling one was Ichijouin in front of me.

　Well, I had no choice.

　When I tried to modify Ichijouin's hobbies with the app, it said that the modification was not possible because [The target does not know [Keisuke Sato]].

　So, I bought the fight that was being sold and just got her to remember my name.

　I think there is nothing more stupid in life than to make enemies recklessly, but I guess Ichijouin will never know my name if I don't do that.

　I believe I made the right decision on the spot, but how do I get out of this situation?

"I apologize if you felt bad."

"Is that so? Anyway, do you think I'm to blame for what happened yesterday?  I've been taken for a fool, haven't I?"

　Ichijouin rearranged her long legs and stared at me with a cold voice.

　...This is scary.

　She is the untouchable of our high school.

　They said that if I disobeyed her, I would be drowned in the sea or something.

　The fact that it would be easy to do considering the power of one of the Ichijouin family members was the main reason for the rumor.

　Well, it's too late to go along with the Ichijouin family now for fear of the rumor.

　The die has already been cast.

"I'm not taking you for a fool. I just simply don't think it is wrong."

　The truth is, it doesn't matter if there were bad guys in yesterday's events.

　As far as the argument goes, Ichijouin probably had her reasons.

　But it doesn't matter.

　My purpose is to make my name known, not to win an argument.

"...you, are you not afraid of Ichijouin's family? "

　Ichijouin says this to me with a Noh mask expression on her face.

　If you ask me if I am afraid or not, of course, I am afraid.

　I did it because I have my own purpose, and what is scary is scary.

　It's scary, but it is a different story if it serve its purpose.

　Moreover, a little bit of calculation was also a big part of it.

　During the argument, not once did Ichijouin talk about the Ichijouin family.

　I could see her intention to defeat me with her own power.

　If so, I have nothing to fear.

　If the Ichijouin family has no power, the person in front of me is just a beautiful girl who scares you a little.

　The only thing left is whether or not she will let her emotions get the better of her. The point is whether Ichijouin will lose her temper or not. 

　And fortunately, the person in front of me was quite a rational person, contrary to rumors as far as I could tell.

　So, assuming that parents would not come out to a children's fight, I planted a small amount of igniter in the fight I had bought.

"If you ask me if I'm afraid of the Ichijouin family, I'd say yes, but whether I'm afraid of Ichijouin is another story."

　I say, looking Ichijouin straight in her blue eyes.

　I stare silently at Ichijouin, who looks like a Noh mask.

　There is no sweetness in the air.

　Only a cold air was flowing between Ichijouin and me.

　A few minutes must have passed, 

"...Sato? You'd better remember this. A member of the Ichijouin family never forgets a humiliation once suffered."

　Saying this, Ichijouin smiles beautifully.

　A smile with no trace of mirth.

　I was horrified.

"I feel better now that I met you today. I still hate you."

　Ichijouin turns away from me and looks out of the limousine.

　Her profile is filled with a smile that has no trace of laughter, as usual, and I cannot read this person's expression at all.

　Well, that's terrifying.

　However, from the looks of it, I don't think I can expect much result from the modification of her hobbies.

　Ever since I got into this limousine, I have felt nothing but hostility from Ichijouin.

　Is there an individual difference?

　After that, Ichijouin has not spoken to me or looked at me since then.

    *    *    * 

　―I was playing with my phone in the clubroom.

　Looking back at today's results, I conclude that I am no longer sure about the effectiveness of this app.

　Suzune seems to be somewhat effective.

　As for Ichijouin, I felt only hostility today, so I wonder if the app is effective or not.

　The same is true for Kousaka and Yukishiro.

　I don't know if the application had any effect or not since I didn't feel anything unusual today.

　I wonder if this is an individual difference.

　I glanced at Hiiragi, who was happily eating the ice cream I had bought her, right next to me.

"Hmm?  What's wrong?  Oh, even if it's senior, I won't give you this! "

　Saying that, she hid the ice cream from me and twisted her upper body.

"I don't want it."

　I don't want the ice cream.

　All I want is to know how this app is affecting people.

　If hobbies have some effects on their feelings, paradoxically, if they dislike me, I wonder if the hobby will disappear? Yesterday, when I rubbed Hiiragi's breast, I felt that it was not so.

　If this theory is valid, the reason why the hobby did not disappear is that Hiiragi did not feel bad when her breasts were suddenly squeezed.

　Is it possible?

　I don't know. Even if she liked me, how could she not feel bad when I suddenly rubbed her breasts?

　Yesterday, in a certain 'book of wisdom', there was a question that asked, 'If I touch a girl's breast out of the blue, will she not like it? (I think she likes me.)', the answer was that she would hate me without any exception.

　I don't know if I should believe a certain book of wisdom or not, I can't help but think that's true.

　If you are happy to be touched out of the blue, you are just a lewd girl.

　For a man, it's like having his penis touched out of the blue.

　......That's a bit of a subtle analogy, isn't it? Men are irrepressible, so those who are happy are happy.

　Is this a mistake for me, a man, to try to guess women's feelings from a man's experience?

　Let's take a moment to sort this out.

　When I squeezed Hiiragi's breast, she said she didn't like it. She was even angry.

　But the app shows that Hiiragi's hobby is...

[Name: Yui Hiiragi]

[Hobby: Masturbating while thinking of Keisuke Sato]

　The information 'I'm masturbating to Keisuke Sato' is displayed on the screen, unchanged from yesterday.

　...No, I don't understand it at all.

　If you are sexually harassed by a person of the opposite sex, don't you usually feel a sense of avoidance?

　What's going on inside this girl's head?

"Hey, what? Why are you looking at me like you're looking at some poor kid?"

　Hiiragi looked upset at my gaze.

　Why do I have to worry so much about this guy?

"......Hiiragi, are you sure you forgive me for what I did yesterday? "

"Well, you gave me ice cream. I had no choice, really, no choice at all! I'll forgive you."

　Hiiragi says so, showing her loose face with a grin every time eats ice cream.

　Is this it? I wonder if I should consider that because I was forgiven, she didn't hate me. 

　Even if I was forgiven, she should still feel an aversion to masturbating with me as a subject since she was forced to do something sexual, right?

　I repeat unanswerable questions and answers in my head.

　My thoughts are all tangled up in my head, and I can't find an answer.

　...Let's stop messing around. The quickest way is just to remove the hobby.

　When the [Hobby Modification App] screen comes up, tap the part of [Hobby 1: Masturbating while thinking of Keisuke Sato], and change it to [Hobby 1: ].

　Then Hiiragi looked at me silently with a red face with an ice cream stick in his mouth, and then she walked out of the clubroom.

　I watched her without saying a word.

　―She came back late, even though she went to the restroom.

　I have a bad feeling about this.

　I waited for about 30 minutes until Hiiragi came back to the clubroom.

　I see Hiiragi, who comes back to the clubroom with a very refreshed look on her face and bring up the [Hobby Modification App].

　I tapped the red dot, which I assumed to be Hiiragi.

　Then, the screen shows

[Name: Yui Hiiragi]

[Hobby: Masturbating while thinking of Keisuke Sato]

　Was displayed on the screen.

"No, why?"

"What's the matter, Senior? "

　Whatever the case may be, how much does this guy want to masturbate?

    Why does the erased file come back immediately?

    No, is it wrong?

　Even if I erased her hobbies, does it mean that her feelings and memories are not erased?

　If so, does it mean that if the hobbies cause emotional changes, even if we erase the hobbies, the changed emotions are not erased?

　Does it mean that it is irreversible?

　I don't know. I really don't know.

　No, if it is definitely caused by the emotion, the test is still to see if the hobby disappears with the new emotion.

　In other words, the fastest way is to try to make Hiiragi hate me.

"Se-senior? Your face, it's scary? "

　I look at Hiiragi, who is confused.

　But how can I make her hate me?

　If it's allowed to rub her breasts, does that mean it's allowed to do more than that?

　If so, there is only one other way.

"―Okay, Hiiragi, let's have sex."
