As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yukino gazing at him with her watery, sapphire-like eyes, full of alluring charm.
His heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Hikari-kun~~~"
The widow Yuki-Onna called out Hikari's name in an incredibly seductive yet natural and unpretentious tone.
"Miss Yukino," Hikari responded with a smile.
He then stepped forward and directly embraced Yukino, pressing his forehead against hers and laughing as he asked, "What's wrong? Is it because it's your first time killing someone, and you're not used to it?"
Yukino shook her head with a smile and said, "No, such scum deserved to die. I only regret not killing him earlier."
"I'm just… feeling a bit feverish right now."
Hearing Yukino's words, Hikari froze slightly.
Then his face showed an expression of helpless amusement.
'Feverish?' [T/N: Feverish refers to H*rny]
Wasn't that the playful wordplay he had teased her with during their lessons earlier?
'Goodness, after tutoring her for so long, she didn't pick up any good habits, but she sure learned the odd ones quickly.'
Looking at Yukino's blushing face as she claimed to have a fever, Hikari couldn't hold back anymore.
He directly picked her up in his arms and carried her back to her home.
———
Half an hour later.
The "battle" had temporarily subsided.
Yukino, who was exhausted from her "studies," broke out in a delicate, fragrant sweat and decided to take a bath.
While Yukino was bathing, Hikari checked the rewards for defeating Takahashi earlier.
[Ding~ The host has successfully thwarted Minotaur Takahashi's attempt to hypnotize using the hypnosis ring and has played him in the palm of his hand, promoting the spirit of true love]
[Reward: True Love Points +200]
[Ding~ The host successfully killed Minotaur Takahashi and caused him multiple mental breakdowns in the process, further promoting the spirit of true love]
[Reward: True Love Points +300]
Seeing the rewards for obliterating Takahashi, Hikari was quite satisfied.
Opening the status panel for a look, Hikari found that he now had over 2,000 true love points.
"I'll save a bit over 1,000 for daily upgrades and redeeming needed true love items, and the rest will go toward the lottery," he muttered.
"True Love System, let's do ten consecutive draws."
[Spinning the wheel…]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Shenbao Brand Nutritional Milk Drink' x9]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Master-level Bass Playing']
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Master-level Drum Techniques']
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Master-level Singing Techniques']
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Master-level Baseball Skills']
[Ding~ Congratulations…]
Hikari drew ten consecutive prizes.
Most of the rewards were daily life or entertainment skills.
Aside from the five mentioned above, there were also things like tea ceremony and flower arranging—skills that had little practical use in daily life.
Although they didn't boost his combat ability, they weren't entirely useless either.
"Bass, drums, and with the guitar I got before, I feel like I could form a one-man rock band," Hikari couldn't help but quip.
Then, the final ten-draw spin result appeared.
This time, there were two decent rewards, along with eight bottles of the Nutritional Milk Drink.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Grandmaster-level Karate']
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for winning: 'Skill: The Four Gay Summoning Technique']
"Grandmaster-level Karate. Although not as practical as Sanda or other martial arts, it's still a decent boost to my combat abilities."
"But this new skill… let's see…"
Hikari clicked on the newly acquired skill with a peculiar expression.
[The Four Gay Summoning Technique: When used, this skill summons projections of the legendary four 'Gay-lords.' They are the pinnacle of their kind, unmatched legends in their domain, earning them the nickname 'The Four Gays.'
(Note 1: The summoned projections will fully obey the host's commands but cannot assist in combat. Their expertise lies solely in their domain.)
(Note 2: This skill is effective only against blond males or Minotaurs.)]
"It really is those Four Gays?"
Seeing the skill description and the accompanying images, Hikari massaged his forehead in exasperation.
"Well, it doesn't boost combat power, and it has so many limitations. Without blond males or Minotaurs, I can't even summon them."
"But it's still a good tool for tormenting and breaking blond males or Minotaurs."
"If I had gotten this skill earlier, I could've tested it on Takahashi."
"No rush, though. This world is full of blond males and Minotaurs. I'll have plenty of opportunities to test the Four Gays' power."
Closing the lottery panel, Hikari then checked the gold Takahashi had dropped.
A non-traceable bank card containing two million yen.
This was likely money Takahashi had obtained through illicit means, stored in an anonymous card for anyone to withdraw. Conveniently, it saved Hikari the trouble.
This was quite a sum of money. But compared to the cash, the most significant gain from Takahashi was naturally the hypnosis ring.
Thinking this, Hikari took out the ring inlaid with a red eye-like gemstone and began examining it.
After a closer look, Hikari realized that this ring seemed slightly different from how it was described in the original novel.
In the original, the ring was said to only work on non-human species.
But this one appeared to have some effect on regular humans as well.
However, it seemed to be more effective on non-humans like Yukino.
Staring at the red eye-like gemstone atop the ring, Hikari frowned slightly. He felt a sinister aura emanating from the ring.
"This ring seems to have some side effects…"
Recalling information from his previous life, Hikari vaguely remembered that using this ring would indeed result in side effects.
The specifics were unclear, but obtaining illegitimate power always came with a price.
This hypnosis ring couldn't be used recklessly.
Thinking this, Hikari activated the True Love System's detection function and asked, "Can this ring be used? Does it have side effects?"
[Ding~ This ring indeed has side effects, such as draining energy, excessively amplifying libido, etc.]
[However, occasional use by the host won't cause any issues. As long as it's not used long-term, the side effects can be avoided.]
Hikari curiously asked, "Even with my current physique, which far surpasses ordinary people, would I still experience side effects?"
[Yes, the recommendations have been made based on the host's physique. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be affected by the side effects of using this ring.]
[However, the Pure Love System can provide purification and enhancement services for the host.]
[For just 5000 Pure Love Points, the ring can be completely purified. Not only will it have no side effects, but its hypnotic effects will also be further enhanced.]
Hearing this, Hikari was slightly stunned, then said speechlessly, "5000 points? Why don't you just go rob someone."
"After all the people I've saved and the number of yellow-haired bulls I've defeated, I still haven't accumulated 5000 Pure Love Points."
Hikari immediately dismissed the idea of purifying the hypnotic ring.
After all, he wasn't the type of person who would immediately use a hypnotic ring for bad deeds.
Just based on his looks, he could live off others, essentially carrying a built-in hypnosis effect.
So, there was no need to rely on such a ring to do bad things.
Of course, he wasn't someone rigidly moralistic either.
If the situation required it, Hikari wouldn't hesitate to use it.
However, unlike Takahashi, who was entirely reliant on the hypnotic ring, Hikari had extraordinary physical abilities and numerous other skills. The hypnotic effect of the ring was something he might rarely need, so he would only consider using it if necessary.
In this way, the matter of purifying the ring wasn't urgent at all.
Given his current physique, brief usage of the ring wouldn't have any side effects.
When he had defeated more yellow-haired bulls in the future and accumulated plenty of Pure Love Points, and if he found the ring necessary, he could then consider purifying it.
Having thought this through, Hikari put the ring back in his hand and calmly looked at it.
"But, since it can be used briefly without side effects..."
"Why not test it in advance to see just how powerful and practical this hypnotic effect really is?"
Just as Hikari was thinking this, Yukino, with her delicate and slender body wrapped in nothing but a towel, walked out of the bathroom, her hair draped loosely.
"Hikari-kun~"
Yukino called out softly, and Hikari turned to look.
The thin towel could barely cover the Yuki-Onna's explosive figure, with its pronounced curves.
Her round, smooth shoulders were exposed to the air.
Her damp, long hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her even more alluring and feminine.
Looking at Yukino, who was impossibly captivating at this moment, Hikari tossed the hypnotic ring in his hand and smiled at her, saying, "Miss Yukino, I want to play an interesting game with you."
"Eh?"
Yukino asked curiously, "What kind of game?"
Hikari smiled and said, "This ring has a hypnotic effect. Previously, we resisted consciously, so someone like Takahashi, an ordinary person, naturally couldn't affect us in the slightest."
"But if you let go of your consciousness and choose to accept it, would it have a chance of succeeding slightly?"
"I want to try hypnotizing Miss Yukino and then teaching you to study under hypnosis. I want to see if Miss Yukino's learning ability improves under a hypnotic state."
"Of course, it would only happen if Miss Yukino is willing."
Hearing Hikari's words, Yukino blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Hikari-kun, are you saying my current learning ability isn't good enough?"
Hikari hugged Yukino, who pounced on him playfully to act spoiled and complain. He rubbed her big head and smiled, "Of course not. But, are you sure you don't want to try this new gameplay?"
Blushing, Yukino nodded and said, "Alright, actually, before Hikari-kun even brought it up, I had thought about it while bathing earlier. I wanted to try being hypnotized by you to see what it would feel like."
When it came to other men, Yukino didn't feel even the slightest emotion or reaction.
But with Hikari, Yukino was filled with an endless curiosity to learn and wanted to explore all kinds of knowledge with him.
