Prologue

 A pretty girl was reflected in the mirror. I stared blankly at her.

 I had been standing in front of the mirror for quite a while, but the girl continued to wear a blank expression for a long time.

 Well, it’s absurd to snap out of it instantly in a situation like this. The protagonists in novels who adapt immediately are the strange ones.

 “Ah.”

 When I opened my mouth, the girl in the mirror also opened hers. But only one voice echoed.

 A mirror is supposed to reflect my original appearance. Why is a girl like this reflected in the mirror right now?

 “Why, you ask? Because I’ve been possessed…”

 I clutched my head. But I didn’t feel the rough texture of when I was a man.

 Instead, what I felt was incredibly fine hair. At this point, there’s nothing to acknowledge or deny. It’s too obvious.

 I had been possessed into the female protagonist of a Hypnosis Game.

 *

 The Hypnosis Game I was possessed into was a game that had been released quite some time ago. But I didn’t know much about this game.

 Why? Because I hadn’t played it yet.

 A game I stumbled upon. I roughly read the description and thought it looked interesting, so I launched it, and then I was possessed.

 Why? Don’t only hardcore players usually do this kind of thing?

 “Ugh…”

 What drove me even crazier in the midst of all this was the fact that I had been possessed into the female protagonist.

 Black hair, bob cut. A mole under her left eye.

 Anyone could tell it was Lee Se-bin, the female protagonist of this game.

 If it were any other game, I wouldn’t know. At least I’m the protagonist, and maybe things would somehow work out.

 But this game is a little different. Why? Because it’s a hypnosis eroge!

 Lee Se-bin, written as the female protagonist but read as the heroine. It meant I had become a character who would be subjected to all sorts of hypnosis play!

 “Holy…”

 The setting was that she was extremely susceptible to hypnosis, so as soon as she met the male protagonist at XX School, which she would enter tomorrow, she would be hypnotized.

 And then, a story where she gradually gets ‘developed’ through all sorts of play. That kind of content was written in the description.

 For reference, XX School is not a high school. It’s an adult school where admission is possible from the age of 20. So, Lee Se-bin is 20, second-years are 21, and third-years are 22.

 Anyway, that’s not what’s important; what’s important is finding a way not to get hypnotized tomorrow.

 Otherwise, I’ll be subjected to all the game’s hardcore play.

 It makes me wonder if the developer was bullied by a girl who looked like this in school? They make Lee Se-bin go through all sorts of play to that extent. I can watch it, but I absolutely cannot *do* it myself.

 The fortunate thing is that I still have memories of living as Lee Se-bin. If I use these and my memories from when I was a man, maybe I can make something work.

 …It has to.

 Please.

 *

 And so, time passed, and it was the morning of the Entrance Ceremony.

 Eventually, this day arrived. Perhaps the fortunate thing is that I remember the protagonist’s face.

 This game uniquely shows the male protagonist’s face. It means he’s not a faceless protagonist like in other dating sim games, and it also means I can prepare for him.

 The seat I was in was the very last seat in the row marked Class 1-1.

 Even if he’s the protagonist, he probably wouldn’t cause trouble in a place where so many people are gathered.

 The reviews also said that for an eroge, the development was quite plausible, so I guess I can trust that.

 I thought, gripping the hem of my short skirt.

 By the way, this is really short. If I had at least a week, I would have lengthened it, but I only had one day.

 So I had no choice but to wear the short skirt, but isn’t this too short, even for a short skirt?

 It obviously goes past my knees, and nearly half of my thighs are visible. When I was the one looking, I liked short skirts, but now that I’m wearing one, I can’t help but feel uneasy.

 “Ugh…”

 As I trembled with anxiety, more and more students started arriving.

 Once the seats in front of me and next to me were almost filled, the Entrance Ceremony began.

 “Ah, we will now begin the Entrance Ceremony.”

 The Entrance Ceremony wasn’t anything special. It was just welcoming the new students, introducing the homeroom teachers for each class, and listening to various words of wisdom, until it was almost over.

 Fortunately, it seemed the Entrance Ceremony would proceed without major issues. Just as I was thinking that and feeling relieved, a sudden announcement came on.

 “Finally, we will conclude the Entrance Ceremony after watching an informational video.”

 Wheee-ing.

 A mechanical sound was heard, and a projector descended from the ceiling. Then, it began to project light onto the screen.

 Ziii-ing.

 The video began, and a countdown started.

 Wait. Why is there a countdown in an Entrance Ceremony video?

 3, 2, 1.

 The video began after the countdown ended. But it wasn’t a normal video.

 Circular shapes swirling with various colors.

 Strange sounds flowing from the speakers.

 It was clearly a hypnosis video. A scene that could only be interpreted that way.

 “What the fuck, they said it had plausibility…!”

 I panicked and tried to close my eyes, but…

 “…”

 Soon, I lost consciousness.
