Chapter 26 - Chapter 026

Before I knew it, Aris had fallen into hypnosis and was lying down on the sofa.

'First, I need to increase friendliness, trust, and affection.'

I used the balloon method to increase Aris' friendliness, trust, and affection toward me. Love does not yet exist. Since love is a very complex emotion, it is better to let it naturally lead to love rather than suddenly heightening it. In Jenny's case, it was possible because she already had a crush on me.

I decided to give Aris a hint.

'Hmm. What would be good? Since courage to overcome phobias is important to Aris, I need to give hints about courage as well.'

I sat quietly on the chair in front of her and then gently held her right hand with my left hand. Aris will focus more on her right hand since she is right-handed.

"The person holding your right hand is Zeon… When Zeon holds your hand, you feel so good and relaxed…"

"I will gently press your right arm with my other hand…"

I very lightly pressed Aris' right arm with my right hand.

"Now your courage is gathered into the right arm that Zeon touched… All the courage of your whole body is gathered into the right arm that Zeon touched… All of it is gathered… Is all your courage gathered in the right arm?"

"Yes…"

"Now your courage follows your hand… Just as iron is attracted to a magnet, your courage follows your hand… Lower and lower… Lower and lower…"

I lowered my right hand down with it touching Aris' right arm. My right hand passed the inside of Aris' elbow and reached her wrist, wrist, and palm.

"Now all your courage is gathered in the palm of your hand, along with mine. Where is your courage?"

"Palm…"

As I did so, I slowly moved my right hand to my left hand, which was holding Aris' hand.

"Your courage continues to move along with my hand… Your courage follows my moving hand and moves to the hand that is touching you… All courage has moved into my hand… Your courage, where is the courage?"

"Hand of Zeon…"

"Right. All your courage came into Zeon's hands… Your courage spreads through Zeon's body… Now all your courage belongs to Zeon… You need Zeon to be courageous… Your courage grows within Zeon… Thanks to Zeon, your courage grows greatly within Zeon…"

Aris smiles as if she is happy.

"Your courage has completely merged with Zeon… Now Zeon is your courage… When you are with Zeon, you have tremendous courage, and you feel like you can do anything… You and Zeon are in close contact with each other. You gain greater courage when touch Zeon… Because Zeon is your courage…"

"This courage grows the more you like and love Zeon… The more you want and love Zeon, the more courage you can receive from Zeon."

Now I have become Aris' courage. I added the hypnosis keyword 'Aris enters a cozy room' and woke Aris up.

Aris opens her eyes and looks around.

"Huh? How was it? Is the treatment successful?"

"I feel like I'm only halfway successful because it's my first time. Aren't you feeling brave right now?"

"Hmm. It seems like that. I'm not sure yet?"

"Then let's try it."

Gulp.

Aris swallows her saliva as if she is scared.

I gently held Aris' hand.

"You can do it. I will be your courage."

Aris looks at me with sad eyes like a deer.

"Thank you… I feel like I have strength because I have you."

'Because I am the courage of Aris.'

I took out a vial containing a finger-sized spider from the subspace ring.

Aris flinches slightly.

"Aaaaah! When did you prepare?"

"When I was in the forest, I secretly collected it just in case. If you don't like it, I'll clean it up."

"No. I'll give it a try."

I put the glass bottle on the desk.

Aris closes her eyes tightly as if she is afraid of spiders. I stood next to Aris and encouraged her by holding her hand tightly.

"Aris. You can do it. That's just a small thing. It can't harm you. I will be your courage."

While doing so, I gently hugged Aris' shoulder.

Aris opened her eyes wide and looked at the spider.

"I think I can do it. My courage rises now. I think it's okay to see spiders now."

"Good job. As expected, Aris, you can do it."

I cleaned up the spider. Aris expresses her impressions with a brighter face.

"Zeon. I think it's because of you. I wasn't afraid of spiders just now."

"Huh. Let's fix it like this."

"Thank you so much."

Aris and I left the library.

"Aris. I'm going to the dormitory. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to go to the dormitory and rest too."

"Then let's walk together to the dormitory area."

"Yes."

We arrived at the place where the dormitory buildings were. Now it was time to part ways, so I said bye.

"Bye~ See you later~"

"Bye~"

Aris turns around and walks towards the women's dormitory.

One Step. Two steps. Three steps… *Shaking*

After Aris walks for a while, she begins to tremble. I asked Aris.

"Aris. What's the matter? What's going on?"

"No, I don't know. Oh, I'm scared. The trauma in the forest… I guess it was too strong…"

It seems like she is away from me, which is her courage. In this case, you can give an additional hint.

I went to the front of Aris. Aris was shaking with her pale face.

I gently held Aris' shoulders with both hands.

"Aris. I will give you courage. If you do this, courage will surge from your heart. Trust me. Understand, right?"

Aris nods her head. Even if you are not in a trance, strong belief makes the suggestion true.

"Close your eyes."

Aris closes her eyes.

I slowly approached Aris' soft, plump lips.

I kissed Aris' lips very lightly.

"This is the kiss of courage. Now, courage will spring from your body, and you will feel at ease and feel better."

Then, the tremors in Aris' body really subsided and stopped. Aris opened her eyes and looked at me with moist eyes.

"Really… The tremors are gone… I'm not scared anymore…"

"Good job. Aris."

I smiled at Aris. A man must know when to leave.

"Then I'll go now. Have courage. Aris."

After saying hello sweetly, I turned around and went to the men's dormitory.

Aris's chest is tight and pounding. As Aris placed her hand on her chest, her heart was pulsating harder than ever before. It seemed like this excitement wasn't just due to courage.

"My first kiss…"

Aris gently placed her finger to her lips. It seems like the feeling of Zeon's lips still remains.

"A kiss… Is such a happy thing…"

Aris recited Zeon's name.

[T/N: 3rd Jenny, ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙ ]

"Zeon…"

Very warm courage seems to flow from the lips that touched Zeon.

Aris returned to the girls' dormitory, feeling the courage that Zeon had given her.

Aris' face was as red as blush and looked happy.

It is Sunday morning.

Yesterday was Saturday and Zeon went home and slept.

"Zeon! Wake up! We have to go to the zoo!"

Jenny wakes me up from my bed. Today is a date with Jenny at the Brisen City Zoo.

I jumped up.

"Haaa... It's already morning."

"Yes. Let's eat a light breakfast and leave quickly. If you are late, the line to enter the zoo will be extremely long."

"Yeah...yeah.."

When I went down, there was cereal rolled in milk. After I finished eating my cereal and washed up, I put on a shirt and pants and a hat.

Jenny is wearing a light blue pastel round T-shirt with a white suspender dress and a checkered beret hat on her head, which is really cute.

As I walked out the front door with Jenny, I held out my hand.

"Lady. Let's go~"

"Yes! Prince!"

Jenny answers in a lively voice and holds my hand.

Tap, tap, tap, tap

The luxurious carriage that I reserved arrived in front of my house on time.

"The carriage has been reserved. Is the location Briesen Zoo?"

The driver asks confirmation again.

I said yes and then got into the carriage with Jenny. Unlike the adventurer's carriage, it has soft chairs and cushions, and the interior is cool thanks to magic.

When Jenny and I got in, the carriage started moving.

Tap, tap, tap, tap

Jenny enjoys looking at the street from her window.

"Zeon! It feels different to see the streets from a carriage like this!"

"How is it different?"

"It's an ordinary street, but I feel like a stranger!"

"Is it like sightseeing?"

"I guess so."

The carriage had already arrived near the entrance to the Brisen Zoo. The coachman shouted.

"Customer! We can't go in from here. You have to get off here!"

Jenny and I got off the carriage. There are endless carriages in the parking lot, and it is bustling with people.

Jenny is amazed when she sees the entrance to the zoo.

"Wow!!! There are so many people! There are a lot of children!"

"Because Briesen Zoo is the largest zoo on the continent. Schools from all over the world often come here on field trips."

" Let's go quickly! If this continues, We'll be late!"

Jenny takes my hand and runs towards the entrance like a cheerful girl. I smiled happily and followed Jenny.

Fortunately, we were able to purchase an 'unlimited pass' without waiting too long. Me and Jenny each wore an 'unlimited pass' bracelet on our wrist.

"Hehe. When I do it this way, it somehow looks like a couple bracelet."

Jenny likes comparing mine with hers

"Because we are a real couple~"

"Yes!"

I passed through the entrance with Jenny. An employee in uniform greeted us cheerfully.

"Welcome to Brisen Zoo!"

As we entered the zoo, a cute cat doll toddled over and handed out map pamphlets.

"Meow!"

Jenny received the pamphlet, opened it, and looked at the map.

"Zeon. Let's go to the 'Cute Animal Exhibition' here."

I went to the cute animal exhibition area with Jenny. There, the animals that people thought were cute were in nature-friendly cages.

"There's the Golden Horned Hare! The fur is golden!"

Jenny shouts with excitement as she sees the golden horned rabbits chewing on the grass.

"Krrrr!"

The Golden Horned Rabbit wrinkles her nose and growls when she makes eye contact with me.

"You! What are you doing to Zeon?"

At that time, Jenny glared at the Golden Horned Rabbit while emitting a deadly aura from her body.

"Kkegaeng! Quack! Kkegaegaggang!"

The Golden Horned Hare trembles, curls her tail downwards, and runs away into a corner. Jenny's death aura seems to work well on animals.
