The band has settled in the inn and decided to investigate.
Who would you follow?

Rina

Rina:

"Okay, Time to explore"

The Bar

Woman:

"Hey, looks like you just arrived."

Rina:

"...what's with you?"

Hypno

"Pardon my rudeness. I am Hypnotia, people here call me Miss Hypno. I run a small magic show on the stage in the casino next to here."

Rina

"And why is a magician talking to me?"

Hypno

"Looks like you are in a bit of trouble, and I am in trouble as well. We're people in trouble, and I wonder if we can help each other."

Rina

"What do you mean?"

Hypno

"You seem to be an adventurer, apparently you are looking for a treasure in this town, so I might be able to cooperate with you."

Rina

"... Oh"

Rina

"Then? What do you want In return? You are in trouble, aren't you?"

Hypno

"As a matter of fact, the girl who was supposed to be my assistant for today suddenly caught a cold, I was looking for an alternative assistant."

Hypno

"How about that? If you take the role of assistant, I will teach you the secrets of this town I know"

Rina

"Hold your horses"

Rina

"Aren't Magician's assistants supposed to have lots of things to remember?

I'm a complete amateur, so I'm not confident that I can do it in a short time. "

Hypno

"Oh, that point is totally fine. Assistants just need to stand on the stage."

Rina

"...?"

Hypno

"Because my magic is not an ordinary magic trick"

Hypno

"It's magic tricks using hypnosis"

Rina

"... hypnosis?"

Hypno

"Yes, you are in the audience at first, then you will go up on the stage when I call"

Hypno

"If that's the case, you only have to listen to what I say on stage, it's easy, right?"

Rina

(rather than an assistant, isn't that just faking it?)

Hypno

"Well? Do you accept?"

Rina

(· · ·)

Rina
(Certainly, if just do that, then I can just do the stuff as told, but....)

Rina:

(if there's no hypnosis, I only need to pretend to be controlled)

Rina:

(Afterall, there still was Natsume's incident in the cave)

Rina:

(Honestly, this town is too suspicious)

Rina:

(Should I accept this proposal?)

Accept Hypno's proposal?

It's alright. there's nothing wrong

it's too doubtful

Rina:

(...)

Strange forces gets into her

Rina

(it's all right, there's no problem at all)

Rina:

(...)

Rina

(well, if I'm already aware of it, I won't be manipulated that easily)

Rina

"Uh, the deal is settled, I accept to be your assistant"

Hypno
"Perfect! Thanks a lot. Would you be fine if I give you the information after the performance?"

Rina:

"Ah, that's fine."

Hypno:

"Well then, may I give you a preliminary hypnosis session?"

Rina

"Preliminary hypnosis?"

Hypno:

"Oh, Do you think you can be fine, hit the stage so suddenly?"

Rina:

"It's fake after all!"

A few minutes later ---
Hypno's house ---

Hypno:

"Now, please come in"

Rina
"You live in this town?"

Hypno:

"That's right.
Various rights can be obtained according to the degree of contribution to the town.
This house is one of them.
I feel comfortable living here."

Rina

"What is your contribution to the town?"

Hypno

"When you are staying in this town, you'll know the way,
Now, sit down here."

Rina:

"Oh, I understand."

Rina:

"Ah I forgot I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Rana"

Rina:

(Ain't no way i'm gonna give a dubious magician my real name)

Hypno

"Fufu, Rana huh, let's get started now then"

Hypno

"Now, look at this finger."

Hypno
"This finger is a magic finger, It can suck out a person's consciousness. Even if you don't notice, naturally your eyes will chase it, You will be aware of it"

Rina

(voice tones and intonation have changed, she's more authentic than I thought)

Hypno

"You can not look away from the magic finger, your eyes can not be drawn away from my fingers anymore."

Rina:

(Eh? Somehow? Can't divert, my eyes...?)

Hypno
"Here, your consciousness will be sucked into the magical fingers from your forehead"

Rina:

(Suck, into...?)

Hypno

"The closer the finger is to the forehead, the stronger the power to absorb consciousness becomes.As the finger touches your forehead, your consciousness will be completely sucked into the magical fingers and disappear."
