The Golden Watch Of Hypnosis - Chapter 6
“Hey, hold my hand, I’ll pick you up! ”
A boy stopped in front of her and extended his hands.
The girl looked up at the person in front of her, a boy that was of the same age as her. The sunlight brightly shone behind the boy causing his face to turn dark.
The only thing she could see was his lips.
The boy’s smile was cheerful. The kind of smile she didn’t know how to make.
She hesitated but still gave her hands to the boy in front of him, the boy, not caring about the mud on the girl’s hand, pulled her up from the puddle.
She was quickly pulled up by the boy.
Her dress wasn’t wet much because the puddle wasn’t that deep, even then, there was a large black stain on her stomach.
Her hands that were holding onto the boy’s hand was fidgeting.
She once again looked at the face of the boy in front of her.
The boys face was neither thin nor was it chubby, the big and bright black eyes of his was common among children his age, his face was slightly handsome, saying that he will be much more dashing when he grows up is not an underestimation.
But what drew her in was his cheerful smile, a smile unlike what she had seen in her entire life, the smile was honest and gentle unlike those children in her school that only wanted to come closer to her because of her status and wealth.
The smile spread waves of ease within her heart.
She blushed and kept her head down.
“What’s your name? My name is Tenshi Ayama! ”
The boy asked her with his trademark smile.
“A-ano, my name is Sakura.. ”
She didn’t tell him her surname as she didn’t want the boy in front him to be afraid of her.
She hated it when people became afraid hearing her surname.
“Sakura? Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl! ”
The girl blushed once again at his womanizer like remark.
The boy held her hands within his hands
“Hey, wanna go to the park and play? ”
No one had ever invited her to play with them before, she had always wandered alone in the park with no one to play with.
She hesitated as she barely knew the boy, but still nodded her head since he helped her.
“Let’s go then! ”
He pulled her hands and ran towards the most famous park located in this area, a park called Misuzu Public Park.
As far as she knew, the park was older than her by tens of times, her mother said so.
She didn’t resist as the boy ran towards the park, his speed was even slower than her walking speed, but she didn’t tell him about it.
It concerned Martial Arts after all. Normal people didn’t know about this side of the world, furthermore, she was afraid that the boy in front of her wouldn’t belive her even if she said anything.
Because she tended to overthink everything, by the time they reached the park, she still hadn’t managed to finish her inner monologue.
The boy seeing her in her own world snapped his fingers in front of her face.
Sakura waked up from her daze and lowered her face in embarrassment.
“Don’t worry, even I sometimes get lost in thoughts, it isn’t your fault, some of us are naturally more imaginative than others! ”
She thought about what Tenshi said and agreed with it in her mind.
The boy looked at her and turned his gaze to the inner parts of the park.
“Do you come her often? ”
“Y-yes..”
“Oh, it seems that we have much in common Sakura-chan! ”
“I-it seems like it.. ”
Sakura felt that it would be nice having a friend, especially the boy in front of her.
She shaked her head in her mind as no one would want to befriend such an ugly girl.
Her sister always said that she was ugly, she never believed it but it still tore a hole in her heart.
She thoroughly believed that she was ugly and that the earlier remark seemed to be just a friendly remark towards her.
“Hey! Let’s go to my favorite place in the park!”
She nodded at his request and once again ran with him.
She saw a very beautiful guava tree with a bench underneath it, the sunlight didn’t manage to reach the bench as it was blocked by the tree, making it an effective place to rest.
“Is t-this your favorite place? ”
She asked in a low voice
“Yeah! ”
They both sat down reservedly on the bench, seeing that the air was slightly quiet, the boy asked
“Which school do you go to Sakura-chan?
“I-I go to Misuzu High school.. ”
“Oww,I never saw you there. ”
“W-well, there are many sections for every year grade. ”
“Yes, you’re right Sakura-Chan. ”
“Aren’t you feeling uncomfortable in these wet clothes? ”
The boy asked concernedly while looking at the wet stain at her stomach.
“N-no, I once had to stay in wet clothes for a whole day, so this isn’t anything for me.”
The girl said looking at the boy’s eyes.
In his eyes, she saw nothing but concern and friendliness.
Since her childhood, she has been very good at reading other’s emotions by looking at their eyes, she felt relieved that the boy in front her wasn’t like the other.
“Wet clothes for a while day? ”
“What happened back then? ”
Tenshi asked with concern.
“W-well, I tried putting on some of the clothes of my elder sister, but she discovered me while I was putting them on and as a punishment, she made me wear wet clothes for a whole day..”
“That’s cruel! ”
“Your elder sister is very cruel!”
“.. ”
“She’s just like that from the very start ”
“Well. ”
….
After some chit-chat they became much more familiar with each other.
They asked each other for their favorite food,cartoon etc like normal children.
“Why did you pick me up back then Tenshi-san? ”
The girl puzzeledly asked Tenshi, she wanted to know why he picked her up from the puddle back then.
“Dunno, you seemed very sad to me. I just wanted to see you smile for a bit, I wanted to cheer you up! ”
“Even so, my mother always asked me to make sad people smile. ”
The girl smiled at the naivet of Tenshi, she never met an innocent and honest boy before like him before.
“What’s your dream Sakura-Chan? ”
Suddenly, Tenshi asked a random question to the girl in front of him.
Since she never had any friends before, she was very glad to have a friend, and was very glad to have someone to share her dreams with.
“My dream is to be an actress! ”
This time, although she spoke in a low voice, she didn’t stutter as before, meaning that she finally thought of Tenshi as someone she could trust. She always stuttered in front of people she didn’t know or she didn’t trust.
The boy in front of her revealed an surprised expression.
“Even my dream is to be an actor! ”
This time even Sakura was surprised, was there such an coincidence in this world?
She was excited at the thought of meeting someone with the same interest as her.
“Really?”
“Yeah! ”
She smiled at the boy, the boy seemingly happy at the sight of her smiling.
“Look at you, you were all gloomy when I met you back then! ”
“Did you know? You have such a beautiful smiling face? ”
“R-really? ”
“Of course! ”
“Say, Sakura-Chan? ”
“Yes? ”
The boy extended a hand to Sakura, Sakura was confused at this move of his.
“Do youerr. want to be friends with me? ”
The boy blushed.
The girl tilted her head.
“Aren’t we already friends Tenshi-San? ”
“uhh, yeah! ”

[Flashback Sequence Completed]
[I’ll show the rest to you later]
<uh, yeah=”” thanks=””></uh,>
Tenshi looked at the gorgeous girl besides him and sent her a gaze of pity, unsurprisingly that gaze of pity disappeared within seconds.
Since he had taken this girl under his wings, he decide that he needed to solve her inferiority complex first.
[Right now, her timid personality is half solved due to her thinking that you will support her even if she fails in something, even then, you have supported her for six years in her memories, she has shed some of her timidity and regained some confidence because of you]
[in simple terms, before you hypnotized her, she was timid and afraid and she had an inferiority complex too, but now, after you have hypnotized her, she thinks that she has you as an support, so unlike her before self, she is more brave and she is much more of an extrovert now]
[But of course, things like this can’t be solved within seconds. She still has an inferiority complex about her elder sister deep within her]
[Master, you have to solve her inferiority complex within a week’s time!]
<say? how=”” do=”” you=”” know=”” that=”” my=”” mother=”” made=”” me=”” promise=”” to=”” make=”” sad=”” people=”” laugh?=””></say?>
The gaze on Tenshi’s face sharpened instantly as he grinned like a psychopath in his mind.
[I can’t read your mind so calm down!]
[I just made it up! I didn’t think that it would be real!]
<i’ll belive=”” you=”” for=”” now,=”” don’t=”” honestly=”” think=”” that=”” i=”” won’t=”” throw=”” into=”” the=”” river=”” if=”” lie?=”” do=”” you?=””></i’ll>
The cold voice sweated bullets.
[Nope Master]
[Please don’t abandon me master! I will never find such an good host like you in my whole lifetime!]
He returned from his thoughts to the reality in front of him.
He carefully built a plan within his mind as he walked in the dark street, Sakura sometimes looked at Tenshi’s serious face and shyly kept her face down.
Tenshi finished building a plan within his mind as he once again put on an act.
“S-Sakura-Chan”
“Yes?”
“Can I hold hands with you? ”
Tenshi acted as if he was embarrassed and pushed his hand towards Sakura’s hands.
Sakura blushed and nodded furiously.
Seeing her nodding, Tenshi made himself blush and grabbed her soft hands.
He walked with Sakura at an moderate pace while holding hands, if anyone saw them, they would only think that they were a lovey-dovey couple.
He personally didn’t care if someone saw them, anyways, there wouldn’t be people in the streets this late, now, would they?
He gazed at his golden watch and saw the time,
10:25PM
He gazed at the girl besides him and asked her a question
“Say, won’t your mother say anything, you know, it’s past 10 now. ”
He didn’t know if her father was dead or not, but he could guess that he was absent from her life so he asked a question about her mother.
The girl looked at Tenshi’s face and said with a smile
“My mum’s not home today, she’s at a foreign business trip”
Seeing Sakura’s slightly sad smile, he put his hand on her head and patted and rubbed her silky black hair.
He knew that she was sad at the fact that her mother wasn’t home most of the times, so in order to cheer her up, he patted her head.
The fragrant and soft hair of her felt like silk.
Sakura closed her eyes in pure bliss and came closer to him in order to get more comfortable.
He felt that the girl in front of him was cute, very, very cute, that face of hers seemed to awaken the need to protect within certain men’s minds.
Too bad he wasn’t like that, he sniffed her hair’s slightly rich fragrance and enjoyed himself.
The fragrance from her hair had the power to calm his heart, he felt that the girl in front of him was useful to some extent.
.
After walking for a bit they arrived at a quiet bazaar.
The bazaar wasn’t quite full but it still had some customers.
Since such a beautiful girl will come home today, he had to buy some meat and vegetables from the market or else or would be slightly offending.
Furthermore, he said that it would be a date
So he diverted from the road towards his home for a bit and arrived at the bazaar with Sakura.
He checked his watch
10:38PM
He also checked the old moneybag he had in his pocket
200$.
He felt that he could buy some beef and vegetables with this amount of money, he walked around the bazaar and bought some Japanese beef along with some vegetables, the total price that amounted was 120$.
He didn’t feel slight remorse at the sight of the money he earned by working at hotels and flower shops slip away from his hands, after all, wasn’t money earned to be used?
If you didn’t use the money you earned from your hard work, the worth of the money wouldn’t be much compared to toilet paper.
He glanced at the about-to cry Sakura behind him.
He felt confused as to why she was at the point of almost tearing up, could it be that she didn’t like beef?
“I-I’m sorry that you had to waste all of that money for me.. ”
Ooh, so it was about the money?
“Don’t worry, I spent my money on a loved person”
“Besides, this is the first date I will enjoy with my beautiful girlfriend, can’t I spend a little bit of money? ”
The girl wiped her eyes and hugged Tenshi’s right arm without saying any words.
[She’s very fragile]
[She thinks that no one in the world except you support her]
[If you abandon her, she’ll end her own life]
<huh?></huh?>
<she’s that=”” weak=”” willed?=””></she’s>
2,373 words.
If you wanted to know whether or not Sakura will be forgotten after her arc, don’t worry, she won’t be forgotten.
Besides, did you guys know that I’m also a translator?
