The day rushed by, and before he knew it, Sunday’s sky was stained orange-red.

Outside the window, the peculiar languor and peace of the weekend could be felt.

But the air inside his room, where only the monitor’s light flickered, was quite different.

His gaze was fixed on a broadcast screen, somewhat unfamiliar, but just starting to become accustomed to him.

“Welcome, my little darlings~! You’ve come to Moka Noona’s broadcast~.”

On the screen, a flamboyant 2D avatar moved vivaciously.

Lush brown hair falling to her shoulders, and a headset shaped like cat ears.

A semi-suit style outfit that subtly emphasized her cleavage.

This was ‘Moka,’ the virtual streamer Ms. Lizetta had been watching on her tablet just two days prior.

“Even though it’s the weekend, you came to see Noona, so you’re so precious! Mwah mwah!”

The avatar winked and blew a kiss into the air.

At her aegyo-filled gestures and overly flirtatious voice, the real-time chat window was truly a crucible of fervor.

[ID:MokaNoonaFan] Kya~ A kiss right at the start of the broadcast~! >_<

[ID:ShotaBest] Huff huff… None of you latecomers missed the kiss, right? ㅠㅠ Noona, please do it just one more time!

[ID:WoofWoof] Only I didn't really get a kiss again.

Sexy yet somehow a bit clumsy.

Her skillful way of 'training' her viewers.

Honestly, even as he watched this, he couldn't believe it.

That the person behind that avatar was truly Jung Seungah from yesterday.

The shock when Ms. Lizetta knocked her out with a hand chop the night before, and he registered her on the hypnosis app and checked her status window.

And her secret sexual preferences.

Like Mina, it really seems you can't judge a person by their appearance alone.

As Moka was busy thanking viewers for their donations and engaging in banter, an anonymous donor threw out a question with a hefty sum.

[ID:AnonymousDonor – [10,000 won donation] Noona, you suddenly ended the broadcast yesterday, I was so worried ㅠㅠ What happened?]

The moment that message was read, Moka's avatar seemed to flinch subtly.

She soon replied with an awkward laugh, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm so sorry about that. Noona must have been so tired yesterday that I accidentally fell asleep without realizing it~? Ehehe."

[ID:AnonymousDonor – [10,000 won donation] You've been working too hard lately, so that's understandable. Don't overdo it, and although it's a small amount, buy yourself something delicious with this! Noona, fighting!]

"Kyaa! If you do this, Noona will have no choice but to work even harder on broadcasts! I love you~ Mwah!"

She skillfully managed the situation with a voice that showed no hint of tremor.

The chat window was now filled with reactions teasing or cheering on her clumsy charm, rather than worry.

Clearly, this wasn't her first time.

However, breaking that peaceful atmosphere, a donation appeared in the center of the screen.

[ID:UpstairsHunter – [1,000 won donation] But Noona, what happened with going upstairs yesterday? Did you resolve it well?]

Instantly, the avatar's movements on screen stiffened, much more unnaturally than before.

"Upstairs…? Ah… did Noona… say… she had something to do upstairs yesterday?"

Her voice rose anxiously.

[ID:UpstairsHunter – [1,000 won donation] You ran out to confront them directly, saying it was too noisy even during the broadcast and you couldn't stand it anymore. That's why everyone was even more worried.]

"Ah~ that's right! Haha… that… well, it was resolved well! Yes. There was a small problem between neighbors, but we cleared up the misunderstanding and wrapped it up nicely! Hehe."

[ID:UpstairsHunter – Oh~ So you didn't have a fight with the upstairs neighbor? ㅋㅋ With Noona's personality, there's no way you just let it go ㅋㅋ]

"Ah, no I didn't~ Noona isn't such a violent person! Honestly, my heart was pounding so much just climbing the stairs yesterday! I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest!"

[ID:SoftMochi – There she is, Cowardly Moka hahaha]

[ID:WhoStoleMyBikeBackWheel – She probably got scared halfway up and sat on the stairs for about 10 minutes, thinking about it hahaha]

"No, I didn't~! Noona really gathered a lot of courage to go up there! You guys are too much!"

She seemed to be trying to regain her spirited energy, bristling, but her voice clearly showed undeniable embarrassment and confusion.

Still, thanks to the rapid flow of the chat and other viewers' provocations, the conversation quickly moved on to another topic.

"Whew."

He was terrified, thinking the hypnosis might break.

The hypnosis had never broken before, but his heart couldn't help but thump hard every time something like this happened.

He had been as careful as possible with the strength of the suggestion to prevent any incongruity in her memories.

But this was nothing more than putting out an urgent fire.

The real problem was from now on.

What should he do about Seungah?

The best way was to layer multiple suggestions to block any chance of her feeling incongruity.

However, his increasingly severe headaches and visual noise were also concerning.

Just then, a sly voice pierced his mind, as if it had read his thoughts.

[You're worrying about such trivial things. I thought you'd gotten a bit better, but you're still far from it.]

"Shut up. So, do you have a good method?"

[Of course. As always, there's a more certain, safer… and most importantly, more interesting way.]

In its voice, along with playfulness, there was a subtle temptation. The method it suggested was, as always, simple and clear.

[As always, just make that woman yours. Like the two women who came yesterday, turn her into a bitch who can't live a single day without you.]

Target her like the other women.

It was indeed the simplest and most certain method.

While not as strikingly prominent as Jooyoung or Mina, Seungah's appearance was still decent.

To the extent that he thought she'd be pretty if she dolled herself up more.

"Well, even if I do that, what's the method?"

[Personally, I'd strongly recommend acquiring 'traits' through possession. The cooldown should be over by now, right?]

Possession. His heart thumped strangely at the word.

[Conveniently, that woman Jung Seungah, she had quite interesting tastes, didn't she? You confirmed it all in her status window, right?]

Right.

Seungah's sexual preference.

It was none other than 'shotacon'.

And it was specifically limited to younger brothers.

[Fufu, it seems like she's quite pent up, so what would happen if you appeared as her exact ideal type? Pfft, isn't it fun just imagining it?]

It felt bad that his thoughts were being read, but imagining that scene did seem interesting.

[And even if you pretend not to, you were rummaging through your adult game folder last night.]

"Please protect my privacy when it comes to things like that."

But it wasn't wrong.

No, to be frank, Seungah's problem didn't particularly matter.

Ever since he confirmed her sexual preferences, one thought had lingered in a corner of his mind.

If he acquired the trait of his body becoming younger, he could have fun in a different way than with hypnosis, but.

Hesitation still remained in his heart.

The side effects of the ability,

The secrets the unknown Child was hiding.

Suspicion slowly crept up that something much more dangerous than he imagined might be lurking.

Just then, Ms. Lizetta, who had entered the room at some point, placed a glass of water next to him.

At her presence, he suddenly, on a whim, asked her.

"Ms. Lizetta… what would you like me to do?"

At his question, she gazed at him for a moment, then demurely clasped her hands in front of her.

He couldn't even guess what thoughts were hidden behind her expressionless face.

"If I may be so bold as to say, I believe you should do as you wish, Hyeonseong-nim. Wouldn't that ultimately be the path you regret the least?"

As he wished.

Was that truly her genuine thought?

If Child was suspicious, it was only natural to be suspicious of Ms. Lizetta, its creation.

He couldn't tell if her answer was her own will, or if Child's influence was involved.

Still. Thanks to her, his thoughts had become somewhat clearer.

[Puhuhu. So, have you made up your mind?]

"Yes."

In a way, it was funny.

When did he ever seriously worry about the world's well-being or the harm he might cause to those around him?

'Rather than suffer a lifetime in a bitter reality, it's better to live happily for even a moment in a sweet dream and die quickly.'

Ever since he first met Child, his thoughts hadn't changed.

In that case, the path he had to choose was practically already decided.

[Good! That's what I like to hear! You truly are the protagonist I chose. You've already picked a place to possess, right?]

Of course.

The trait he needed to acquire could roughly be called 'shota-fication'.

In other words, he needed to be a protagonist who possessed the ability to make his body younger, not someone who was young from the start.

Timely enough, there was an adult game in his folder that perfectly suited this situation.

"Instead, I have a condition."

[A condition? What is it?]

"When I finish this possession and return, tell me… anything, even a little, about what you're hiding. I can't just let it go anymore."

At his firm demand, Child was silent for a moment.

[Puhuhu. Alright. I promise. Anyway, it's a story you'll have to know someday.]

It left him with a meaningful remark, but said nothing more.

[Alright, are you ready then? Close your eyes and I'll send you right away. A hot and thrilling summer vacation you'll experience in advance. Have a good time.]

He nodded silently and lay comfortably on the bed.

As he closed his eyes, an familiar sensation of floating came, and a system message clearly appeared behind his eyelids.

[Possession initiated.]

[Possessed Body Name: Miyano Yuu.]
