Sakurajima Mai was fast approaching her limit. The human body has its boundaries, and remaining suspended in a weightless state for so long was simply bad for one's health.
At first, she had patiently waited, harboring the wishful thinking that "he would move once he got tired."
But as she waited and waited, setting aside the physical toll, the ability she had acquired came with potent side effects when used continuously. This caused her to lose her patience completely.
No, I can't wait any longer!
She began to attempt to break free once again.
First, she twisted her waist with small movements, attempting to slide upwards and detach from that fatal connection point. But with even the slightest movement, she found herself embedded even more tightly, instead eliciting a wave of friction that made her scalp tingle.
Consequently, she began to struggle with reckless abandon, pushing against his chest with her hands, kicking her legs indiscriminately, and twisting her body in an attempt to find a breakthrough.
However, it was ultimately futile. Instead, her violent struggles only intensified the friction between them. The evidence that needed to be cleaned up was smeared around even more chaotically, the sticky sensation became increasingly obvious, and she began to sweat even more.
Calm down, calm down! Sakurajima Mai took a deep breath, telling herself not to panic. If force doesn't work, use some technique.
She stopped trying to move her entire body at once and instead began attempting a localized detachment, wriggling slowly like a worm.
She kicked at Kanzaki Saku's calves and the legs of the chair, making muffled thud-thud sounds.
She was like a fish stranded on land, flapping with all her might, trying to return to the water.
"Vice President?" Hayasaka Ai was finally alerted by the continuous commotion. She looked up, gazing at Kanzaki Saku with confusion, then glanced at his slightly shaking table and chair. "Are you... alright? Is there something wrong with the chair?"
"I'm fine," Kanzaki Saku replied calmly. "This chair might be a bit old; it's not very stable."
As he spoke, he looked down at the frantic struggles of the invisible female spy in his arms.
Make a fuss.
Flap around.
Use all your strength.
If you think you can escape so easily, how could this be called an interrogation?
The pent-up frustration and mischievous urge within Kanzaki Saku, accumulated from being unilaterally tormented earlier, finally found a reasonable outlet for release.
Weren't you having a lot of fun before?
Now, it's time for the roles to switch.
He suddenly remembered that ability Takanashi Rikka had trained to perfection—the ability to reverse a person's character settings back to normal. Wouldn't that be perfectly suited for interrogating this female spy right now?
No sooner said than done.
Kanzaki Saku directly used this ability on Mai-senpai in his arms, but he only reversed her mindset and conceptual thinking.
There was no light, no sound, and no warning signs whatsoever.
But in Sakurajima Mai's perception, one second she was struggling with all her might, unaware of anything wrong, and the next second, it was as if her entire personality had switched. She was momentarily bewildered.
This sensation was similar to hypnotic induction in adult doujinshi: her memory was crystal clear, and she knew she was doing it herself, and her physical sensations were still there, but she simply couldn't accept it.
Readers who are frequently hypnotized should understand her feeling.
Sakurajima Mai gradually understood everything.
She, Sakurajima Mai, was a normal high school girl.
Because she was too sexually repressed, she had inexplicably obtained this ability while entertaining herself on a stormy night...
Sakurajima Mai no longer cared about the ability's side effects; what she was thinking about now was whether she should go to the police station to turn herself in.
If possible, she could also take responsibility for this man, provided he didn't despise her for having made such a grave mistake.
Although Kanzaki Saku hadn't yet developed a mind-reading ability like 'Reversal of Inner Voice', he could still sense the thick aura of regret radiating from Sakurajima Mai through her expression and movements.
So, Kanzaki Saku deactivated the ability.
Sakurajima Mai, who had been reflecting on her sins just a second ago, expressed the very next second that she didn't know what she had done wrong.
If I have an ability and don't use it, wouldn't I have obtained it for nothing? Besides, there are side effects; if I don't do something enjoyable to neutralize them, I'd be left with only the negative effects.
I did nothing wrong!
