Hypno-Star
by BluRider
Coloured lights from the monitor flickered in the darkness of Konata's room as she and her young cousin Yutaka stared into her computer screen, fascinated. Quiet pulses of sound came from the speakers, as the game displayed dialogue. For a while, the only sounds were those pulses and Konata clicking her mouse.
"Are… you sure this game is for you?" Yutaka asked quietly, swallowing hard as she looked at the screen.
Konata gave a catlike smile. "Dad always hides Christmas presents in the same place, and I've never seen this Hypno-Star game before," she declared, raising a finger emphatically. "It may as well have been labelled 'For Konata'." She clicked again.
There was a burst of coloured lights from the screen. Yutaka blushed. "Is… is she in a trance?"
Konata was laughing, "Well, my choices were to apologise to her, or to hypnotize her with the pendant. Easy choice." Her eyes narrowed as, leaning forward in a predatory pose, she clicked again.
Yutaka squealed, going a deep red. "K-Konata!"
Her cousin just giggled, as the voice of the character came from the speakers:
"Hai… Goshujin-sama…"
****************************************************
Yutaka sat, stunned, next to Konata on the bed as the latter was carefully repackaging the game in Christmas wrap. Neither spoke for almost a full minute before Yutaka, still blushing, said, "D-do you think maybe she secretly wanted to do that stuff with the main character?"
"Nope," replied Konata, "She was completely under his power!" She pointed to her sparkling green eyes, "You can tell by the eyes, and her voice. It's like that in all games. Girls become super weak-willed when you dangle a 5 yen coin in front of them."
Yutaka squirmed, her pose stiff and embarassed. "Hypnosis is amazing," she said finally.
Turning to look at her, Konata looked Yutaka in the eyes. Then, suddenly, she began to laugh uncontrollably. Soon, she was rolling around on the bed, wrapped in her long blue hair, crying tears of hilarity and holding her belly.
"W-what?" Yutaka pouted, frowning. She tried to grab Konata's pajamas, to hold her still.
Wiping away a tear, Konata sat back up, still giggling. "Hypnosis isn't real, dummy. It's just something they do to girls in games." Then, she redoubled her laughter, fondly running a hand through her cousin's red hair.
With her face still red and her mouth pursed in embarrassment, Yutaka got up from the bed. Her eyes squeezed shut, she shook her chubby little fist at Konata. "You're the dummy! Hypnosis is real!"
Konata only waved her words away dismissively, trying without much luck to stifle her snickering. "OK, OK. I'm sorry, Yutaka," she grinned.
Yutaka rifled around in Konata's drawers for a while, then turned around with her hands on her hips, trying to look authoritative in her pink pajamas. "I'll prove it to you!" she said, dropping something to hang from her hand: it was a simple 5 yen coin, on a string.
Konata stared in surprise for a moment; then she immediately started rolling around on her bed once again, in tears of laughter.
"I'm serious! Look at the coin!" Yutaka said sternly, beginning to swing her makeshift pendulum back and forth.
Sitting up again, Konata was eye-level with the shorter Yutaka. The coin glinted in the darkness as it dangled in front of her eyes. She couldn't help chuckling at the cliché induction Yutaka was using, her words taken straight from the game.
"Watch the coin," Yutaka ordered. "See only the coin. Follow the coin with your eyes, as everything else fades away. Let the hypnotic swinging of the coin, um, f-fascinate you. F-follow the coin with your eyes, and it will lead you deeper… deeper down… into hypnosis."
Konata was watching the coin now, her big green eyes curious as they followed it back and forth. "As you… w-watch the coin… swinging back and forth… back and forth… You cannot resist its… its power… its irresistible pull… Y-you will become… hypnotized…" Yutaka commanded, her little red twintails bobbing in time with the momentum of her swing as she followed the coin with her eyes. "Y-you… m-must… obey…"
Konata, still watching the coin, yawned deeply. Then, her eyes widened. "Hey, it's working! I feel sleepy!" she exclaimed. Then she furrowed her brow, adding, "Maybe I'm just tired, though."
Yutaka didn't answer, still staring at the coin in her own hand. "W-watch the coin… cannot resist… m-must… obey..." she mouthed breathlessly, staring at the coin.
"Yutaka?" said her older cousin, peering at her quizzically. "Are you... OK?"
The little redhead's eyes continued tracking the swinging coin. "Yes..." she sighed.
Konata looked more closely at the glassy-eyed little girl, her own eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "You look just like the girl from Hypno-Star, just before the protagonist says... you are in a deep hypnotic trance!"
Yutaka trembled, replying, "I am... in a deep... deep hypnotic trance... m-master."
Konata's sly, catlike expression returned. "Reeeally?"
The red-haired little girl was staring helplessly at the 5 yen coin. "Yes, master."
Suspiciously, her blue-haired cousin waved a hand in front of her eyes. "You're not just playing with me?"
"No, master."
Still with that catlike smile, Konata said, "Do you remember how they proved it was real, in the game?"
"Y-yes…" Yutaka answered, suddenly blushing deep red from head to toe. "They made her, um, s-strip naked… against her will…" Breathing shallowly, she shook her head dizzily as if to clear it, her gaze still locked fast to the coin.
"So, are you really hypnotized, Yutaka? Really, really?" Konata laughed quietly.
A bead of sweat ran down Yutaka's forehead, her beautiful jade green eyes suddenly frightened, looking deeply at the coin. "I… I'm really… hypnotized! Honest! D-don't make me…"
"Prove it!" snapped Konata, with a grin.
Yutaka shut her eyes tightly in embarrassment, squealing, "Kyaa!" Shaking her head 'no' as she did so, and seemingly fighting her own hands, she immediately unbuttoned her pyjamas, threw the top across the room, and dropped her pants and panties to the floor in two quick movements, leaving her completely naked on Konata's bed.
The blue-haired older girl stared in shocked surprise, as Yutaka - eyes still firmly shut - tried in vain to cover herself. Her tiny hands left little to the imagination. Konata realized her young cousin was hypnotized for real, naked on her bed, and still under her power! "T-this is amazing!" Konata exclaimed, looking in awe at the game box. "I can't believe it was real!"
Her deep red blush intensifying, Yutaka squirmed uncomfortably. "Well it was! I must've hypnotized myself, somehow. Please, do something!"
Konata was still looking at the game box. "This ero-game's hypnosis actually works on young girls?" A sweatdrop appeared at her temple. "What is this really for, Dad?"
"Konata!" cried her cousin, shaking her head blindly. She was hugging her knees and holding up her pajama pants to hide her nakedness. "Help me, first!"
"Oh, that's right," said Konata, holding up the coin. "Open your eyes up."
"Thanks, Onee-chan," Yutaka sighed in relief, opening her eyes. Immediately, her pupils snapped to the 5 yen coin.
"OK, now... I want you to go even deeper. Just like the girl in the game."
"W-what? Konata!"
"I am your master now. Please call me 'Izumi-sama'!"
Her eyes moving back and forth, Yutaka repeated, "I… Izumi-sama…"
"Watch the coin and go down deeper. Much, much deeper."
"N-nooo… wait…" Yutaka's jaw slackened. Her eyes half-closed. She was helplessly tracking the coin. "Why do I, um, have to… go down deep… deeper…"
Konata held her cousin's head steady, as it started to loll forward. "Deeper and deeper. So deep that you'll do anything I say."
"S-so deep," Yutaka repeated. "I'll do anything… you say…"
"When I snap my fingers, you will be mine to command."
"Yours… to command, Izumi-sama…" Yutaka's eyes had lost all focus. She was floating.
Her cousin snapped her fingers. Suddenly, Yutaka's body relaxed completely, her eyes glazing over. Her pants fell to the ground and her knees slid from her grasp to the floor as the naked little girl fell back onto the bed, her exposed chest rising and falling faster as her heart began to hammer in her chest.
"OK, listen!" ordered Konata, with a feral look. "You are Izumi-sama's amazing pet hypnotist. Izumi-sama is your master. You will take this pendant and keep it hidden. When you hear your master say the words 'good night' to someone, you will put that person into a deep trance! If it's somebody in the same class as Izumi-sama, or in Kagami's class, you will make it so they will also enter hypnosis when they hear the words 'good night', but they'll forget all about being hypnotized. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes, Izumi-sama."
Konata couldn't hold back an evil laugh at the idea of having some hypnotic fun with her friends.
"Good, you're a good girl Yutaka. Now, I want you to put your pajamas back on, then come out of hypnosis, and forget everything that happened here tonight."
"Yes, Izumi-sama."
Konata rubbed her palms together. She couldn't wait for her Christmas Eve party to start.
****************************************************
Konata kissed her cousin on the forehead, putting her to bed.
"Good n-" she began to say, biting it off. "I mean, sleep well, Yutaka!" Konata smiled.
"Sleep well, Onee-chan!" replied her young cousin, smiling warmly.
Quietly, she shut the door to Yutaka's room, tiptoeing to the cupboard where the Hypno-Star game had been hidden. She carefully replaced it, as if it had never been touched. With meticulous care, she arranged the other items in the cupboard, re-creating their placement before she'd moved them to get at the game. Finally, she shut the door with a soft 'click'.
"Oh," came a voice from down the hall, making Konata nearly jump out of her skin. "You're still up?" It was Sōjirō Izumi, her father.
Her voice shaky, Konata sidestepped away from the cupboard. "Y-yeah! I'm still up! I mean, I'm going to sleep. Right away. I was just going to the bathrom!"
Sōjirō looked at her suspicously for a moment. She smiled up at him innocently. Finally, he said, "OK. Don't stay up late: tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Good night, Konata!"
Relieved, she said, "Sleep well, dad!"
Quickly, she scampered back to her room. Her back to the door, she smiled to herself. "Safe!" she said, making a V-sign in the air from sheer excitement.
Suddenly, she was startled all over again, as there was a knock on the door. Had he looked in the cupboard? Was something not put back right? Konata leapt into her bed in a panic, immediately closing her eyes and pretending to sleep although her heart was pounding.
Her bedroom door opened, and she heard soft footsteps shuffling toward her bed. She peeked out of the corner of her eye.
It wasn't her dad, but her cousin Yutaka! The little girl dropped something into Konata's line of sight with a glint. It was a 5 yen coin.
"Good night… Konata…" she repeated over and over, before her eyes snapped to Konata's and she began to swing the coin back and forth, faster and faster. "Watch the coin," she ordered, her voice speeding up in time with the swings. "You are getting sleepy; very sleepy. Follow the coin with your eyes. That's it, just follow it. Let your body relax deeply."
Konata smiled, sitting up in bed. "What're you doing, Yutaka? Quit it, already."
Her cousin didn't react at all, continuing to swing the coin. "Deeper and deeper. Fall into relaxation. That's good. Watch the coin. Obey."
"Ohhh, I get it. You think of Dad as Izumi-sama as well?" the older girl asked, blinking slowly. "That isn't right. You're my pet hypnotist, not his!"
"… will begin counting from three to one… with every count becoming more relaxed… when I reach zero, your arm will float all the way up into the air. Three…"
"Wake up, Yutaka. False alarm, OK?"
"… two."
Konata frowned. "Don't make me take that pendant from you."
"… one."
Sighing, the blue-haired girl reached out to take the coin away.
"… zero."
Still reaching, Konata felt her hand start floating upward, up and away from the offending 5 yen coin. "W-wha-? How did you…?"
Yutaka leaned in closer. "Keep on watching the coin. When you drop your arm, you will go ten times deeper."
"N-no, wait!" Konata averted her eyes from the pendulum, trying to scramble away.
Yutaka had her cornered. "Drop your arm, now. Falling deeper, and deeper."
Konata's hand twitched, and fell down to her side. She suddenly fell back onto the bed, staring upward.
Yutaka clambered over to her, dropping the coin back in her line of sight. Konata's eyes snapped to it immediately. "H-how are… you…"
"Good girl," said Yutaka. "Now, SLEEP!"
Her eyes rolling up in her head, Konata shuddered briefly before falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.
"Good, good, Konata…" said her cousin, in a monotone that would've frightened Konata had she been awake enough to notice. "When you wake up, you will forget all about being hypnotized. However, when you hear the words 'Good night', you will enter a deep, hypnotic trance…"
Konata didn't say anything, remaining peacefully asleep.
****************************************************
"A party game?" asked Kagami, looking skeptical. She placed a gift on the table, and sat down in the living room next to her sister Tsukasa, who was chatting with Konata and Yutaka. Everyone was dressed well for their private Christmas party, and waiting for the arrival of the Christmas cake. Distrustful of Konata's party games, the beautiful twin asked, "You're just saying that so you can make us all help you to get an item in your online game again, aren't you?"
"No! Nononono…" Konata assured her, leaning close to the taller girl with stars in her eyes. "This is much, much better. Yutaka's going to show you a new game she's learned! It's amazing. She's been practicing real hard just to play this. You have got to try it!"
Looking uncertain, the twintailed, purple-haired girl looked sharply down at the innocently smiling Yutaka with her piercing eyes. "Well, OK," she said tentatively. "How do we play?"
"I'm, uh, not really sur-" the red-haired little girl started to reply.
"Just do as Yutaka instructs," replied Konata quickly. "Good night, Kagami!" she added.
Immediately, Yutaka pulled a 5 yen coin from her pocket, dropping it before Kagami's eyes. Her own glittering jade eyes becoming glassy and empty of thought, Yutaka began an amazingly fast hypnotic induction, speaking more and more rapidly to Kagami in a soft, monotone voice as the coin swung by quickly before her. "Keep on following the coin," she was saying. "That's a good girl… let your thoughts just melt away."
Caught up in the induction, Kagami stammered, "W-wha… what is this game…?" Her eyes were tracking the coin back and forth, her body beginning to sway on the spot as Yutaka started moving her own body side to side to match the pendulum, forcing the captivated Kagami to respond in kind. "You're… what're you-?" Kagami was reeling. Taken aback by this strangeness, Tsukasa just looked on with a curious, doe-eyed expression as her sister began to fall under.
Her body completely on autopilot, little Yutaka could not stop herself, helplessly following her own programming to hypnotize and enslave this pretty girl. "Just watch the coin go back and forth," she was saying. "Back and forth, as you fall deeper and deeper. Deeper and deeper into hypnosis. Deeper and deeper into my control."
"… into hypnosis…" Kagami was repeating, her eyes ballooning wide now. "Deeper… into your control? Wha-…?"
"Good girl… so deep now… when you hear the words 'good night', you will fell deep into an obedient trance… so deep now… you will not remember being hypnotized at all!"
"W-wait," Kagami stammered. "W-what's going… on?!"
Yutaka was lost in her trance. "You will not remember… being hypnotized…" As if this were directed at herself, her own eyes suddenly went back to normal. Blinking rapidly, she yawned and then stretched, as if coming out of a very deep sleep.
Konata was giggling, slapping her knee as Kagami's own head jerked back up, no longer feeling sleepy. She looked around confusedly. Tsukasa was looking at her intently, and the other girls were smiling.
"W-what was that?" demanded the purple-haired girl. "Did you do something weird?"
"I tried to get Yutaka to hypnotize you," Konata responded. "Do you think it worked?"
"Hypnotize me?!" Kagami cried. "You did what?! And… h-how should I know if it worked?"
"Let's find out…" Konata said, grinning at her. "You are feeling very obedient, Kagami… you will do anything I say…"
Kagami scoffed, "Fat chance. Anyway, hypnosis can't even do that."
"Really?" Konata asked, disappointed. "Why not?"
"You can't make people do stuff against their will, that's why," Kagami explained patiently. "Everyone knows that."
"What if I say…" Konata mused, then added in a commanding tone: "I order you to become my loyal maid."
Kagami stared blankly for a moment. Then, she jumped up from her seat and began yelling at Konata. "What kind of a perverted order is that? What are you trying to make me do?!"
Tsukasa got up quietly, and stepped away from the fighting girls.
Konata yelled back, "Shut up! Act like a chicken!"
Tsukasa, who had picked up a photo frame as if to dust it, suddenly stiffened, then crouched forward and formed pantomime chicken-wings with her arms. Obliviously, she began to scratch at the carpet with her stockinged feet. Nobody noticed.
"You shut up!" demanded Kagami. "Your cousin's hypnosis doesn't work."
"Of course it works! Now, freeze in place! You cannot move your body."
Stuck in a comical, bent-over pose attempting to peck at the ground, Tsukasa froze up completely, her small breasts threatening to pop out of her low-cut, fashionable shirt.
"Obviously it doesn't work, then. Has she ever hypnotized you?"
Konata rolled her eyes, "Of course not! But it worked on HER."
Yutaka looked surprised. "It did?"
Both girls shot her a glare. She fell silent.
"Anyway," continued Konata, "I saw it working on you. I bet you'll do anything I say, as soon as you hear the words 'good night'."
As soon as the words were uttered, the room fell silent. With Tsukasa still frozen in the background, unnoticed, the two girls just stared at each other. For a moment, no-one spoke.
"Now," said Konata after a moment, "if you've been hypnotized properly, you will obey any command I give you…"
"Even if you're right, it's only if it's not against my will," replied Kagami.
"Fine," said Konata, smiling like a cat. "Then how about this: To prove that you are in my power, you will now take off all your clothes… I command you! Take off all your clothes!"
Immediately, Tsukasa unfroze. Her eyes widening, she tried to speak, but no words came out. Her hands began to tug at her shirt, pulling it up over her head. Then, standing up straight and swaying slowly from side to side, she began to take off her skirt and stockings, leaving her clad only in a childish set of pink lingerie.
"You're not listening," said Kagami. "That'd never work."
"Fine," said Konata, taking off her loose shirt to reveal that she wasn't wearing a bra over her perky little breasts. "I guess it won't work if I just command you directly."
The taller girl looked at her quizzically, "Taking off your own shirt won't do it either…"
"I've got it!" said Konata as she kicked off her shorts, leaving her only in her white, teddy-bear print panties. "You are in a public bath, where it is OK to be naked. You will take off all your clothes and have a bath with your friends."
Kagami gave her a dubious look. Konata looked proud of herself, standing naked in front of Kagami as her panties fell, crumpled, to the floor. Then, all of a sudden, her eyes seemed to refocus, becoming duller and glassier. "U-uh…" she shook her head confusedly. "Oh!" she exclaimed, suddenly. "Hi, Tsukasa! Hi, Kagami!"
Kagami turned around and squealed in embarassment. Standing among her cast-off clothing, her own sister Tsukasa was completely nude, and was obediently laying down in an imaginary bath.
As Tsukasa started making small noises of pleasure on the floor, Kagami watched, bemused, as Konata walked over to lay down beside her, and - apparently believing herself to have stepped into the bath with Tsukasa - began to roll around on the floor naked with her hypnotized twin sister, as the two 'swam' together.
"Stop that!" she shouted at them, but Konata and Tsukasa just looked over and waved for her to join them in the 'water'.
Kagami felt a tug at her sleeve, and looked down. She saw the small Yutaka getting naked in a confused daze, stepping out of her dress as she looked up at Kagami with wide, liquid eyes. "Aren't you going to get undressed, Onee-san?" the half-asleep, half-naked little girl asked Kagami.
****************************************************
"You've got to help! I don't know what to do!" shouted Kagami's flustered, shrill voice on the phone.
"Calm down," said Miyuki, adjusting her glasses. The blonde girl thought for a while, then said into her mobile, "I think you just have to get Yutaka to use her hypnosis on them again. Once they're back under hypnosis, you can get her to remove those commands.
"A-are you sure that'll work?" Kagami replied, worried.
"I'm certain. Give it a try, OK? I'll come right over."
"Alright…"
****************************************************
The nude Tsukasa and Konata were sitting on the sofa now, pretending to wash each others' backs.
"Yutaka?" Kagami said to the naked little girl still 'swimming' on the ground. "Can you hear me?"
"Yes, Onee-chan?"
Kagami swallowed hard. "Um… good night, Yutaka."
"Huh?" the little girl replied. "I'm not going anywhere."
Kagami frowned. Then, she looked over at Konata.
"Hey, Konata!" she called.
"Yes?" answered her friend.
"Yutaka's going to sleep early. I'll take her home for you, so tell her good night, will you?"
Konata looked at her oddly. "Uh, OK. Good night, Yutaka!"
"G-good n…i…uuhhhh…" The little girl rolled onto her back, her naked body relaxing as she stopped making swimming motions. The nipples of her tiny, budding breasts were standing up clearly from being rubbed against the carpet. "M-must obeyyy…" she was panting.
"Go get your pendant, Yutaka," ordered Kagami, causing the naked little girl to rifle through her fallen clothing and then stand to attention holding a coin on a string. "Good, now I need you to hypnoti-"
"So, you're leaving too, sis?" Tsukasa was asking, in the meantime. "OK - we'll get dressed and follow after you soon!"
"Stay safe," said Konata politely. "Good night, Kagami!"
"Yeah, yeah," replied Kagami, looking at Yutaka. "I need you to use your pendulum to hypnotize Konata and my sister…"
"Yess…" Yutaka was saying, starting to swing the pendulum. "Watch the coin… Go into deep hypnosis…"
Kagami nodded, "That's right, swing it back and forth… and hypnotize… um, them to… remove the…"
The pendulum swung faster. "Hypnotized… so deeply, now. Keep on watching the coin. You cannot look away."
"… remove… um… the hypnosis…" Kagami was watching it swing, back and forth.
"You cannot remove your eyes from the coin. You must enter deep hypnosis. You will obey."
"… remove… um… my eyes… must, um, enter hypnosis… w-whoa… m-must…"
"You will obey."
Kagami was now staring openly at the 5 yen coin, with a foolish grin on her face, completely enraptured by its swing. "I… will… obey."
"Good," said Yutaka. "Now, when you hear the words 'good night', you will go into a deep, deep trance…"
Behind her, the other girls were putting their clothes back on, oblivious to what was going on only a few footsteps away.
****************************************************
"I love your dress!" said Kagami. "Everyone's just inside. Come on in."
"Thank you," said Miyuki, leaving her present on a table in the hall. "I'm just glad you were able to remove that hypnosis from them."
Kagami frowned. "Hypnosis? What hypnosis?"
Walking into the living room, Miyuki saw all of her friends dressed up nicely, reclining on the couch. "You know," she said, "I meant about how you were all hypnotized to become enslaved when someone said 'good night'."
"What?!" Kagami shouted indignantly. "Don't be foolish. I was ne-v-e-r… hypno- um… hypn…uuuhhhh…" her eyes rolled up as a big grin suddenly appeared on her face. Her eyes wide and staring, Kagami stammered, "Y-yess… I w-will obeyyy…"
Frightened, Miyuki gesticulated wildly, "N-no! I didn't mean… Please, go back to the way you were!"
From over on the couch, she heard Tsukasa and Konata reply, "Yessss…", as the two girls suddenly began to take off all of their clothes all over again. Next to them, Yutaka shuffled away, looking startled. Miyuki continued to panic.
Kagami, however, snapped out of it, her vapid smile replaced by an alarmed expression. "Oh… oh no!" she cried out. "They're taking off their clothes again! Miyuki, help me!"
"What's going on?" asked Yutaka in a small voice, as Tsukasa and Konata's clothing began to fall to the floor, revealing inch after inch of their naked bodies. "What do we do?"
With her hands on her hips, Kagami snorted derisively. As the last pieces of her friends' clothing were shed, and the two girls stood there naked and obedient, she said, "These weak-willed girls have gotten hypnotized again, obviously. They think we're in a public bath."
"Duh," said Konata, "We ARE in a public bath. C'mon, take off your clothes already."
Kagami rolled her eyes. "See?" she said, starting to unbutton her own blouse for the first time. "They probably think that I'm hypnotized, just like they are."
Miyuki began to sweat with anxiety, pointing at Kagami. "Y-you are! Look!"
Raising an eyebrow, Kagami looked at herself. "Don't be…" Then, realisation blossomed on her face. "W-wait… I can't stop, uh, undressing… Miyuki! I… Is this really a bath?" she tried to stop her hands from moving, but they continued stripping off her clothing. "W-why can't I stoooppp…" closing her eyes tightly, she managed to slow down her undressing. "Quickly!" she panted. "Help!"
"Yutaka!" Miyuki shouted, whirling around hurriedly. "Quickly, undo the hypnosis!"
"W-what?" replied Yutaka. "How do I…?"
"Uh- Good night!" Miyuki replied, shaking her.
Yutaka looked like she wanted to cry. "I don't understand!" she wailed.
"Hypnotize them! Do it, quickly!" Miyuki commanded, agitating both girls further.
"N-no!" Kagami shouted, reduced to her lingerie and fighting not to unlace her pastel-violet bra. "Konata has to say it! Quickly! Please!"
"Konata!" cried Miyuki, "Say goodnight!"
"W-why are you saying good night?" Yutaka asked, worried.
The stark-naked Konata just looked at Miyuki. With a bemused, quizzical expression, she said: "Uh… good night?"
"Not to me, say it to - ahh!" Miyuki fell backwards as Yutaka pushed into her. "What are-?" she started saying, before a pendulum fell down before her eyes.
"Watch the coin, Miyuki… look only at the coin… you can see only the coin…" Yutaka started, the programming taking her over completely as she lost track of what she was saying, and control of her mind.
****************************************************
"… and remembering nothing about the hypnosis," ordered Yutaka, before suddenly wondering what she was saying.
She shook her head dizzily, unsure of what she had been doing. Then, suddenly, she realised that Miyuki was in front of her and staring at her unresponsively, whereas her other friends weren't wearing any clothes. Yutaka blushed bright red.
"W-what happened?" she asked quietly.
"We were just taking a bath…" Tsukasa started saying.
"I… I think you hypnotized her, while she was undressing for the bath," said Kagami.
"Good job!" said Konata, smiling widely. "I knew you could do it."
"B-but… we're not at a bath!" said Yutaka.
"Of course we are," said Konata, looking around the living room.
"U-unless… you hypnotized us, too?" said Tsukasa.
"No way she hypnotized us," said Kagami. "She can't make us get naked against our will."
"W-what if she told us we were in a public bath, first? Would that work?" asked Tsukasa.
"One way to find out," said Konata. "Hey, Miyuki! You're in a public bath. Please get naked and bathe with us!"
Suddenly Miyuki stirred, taking off her glasses and shaking out her long blonde hair as she slid aside the straps of her dress and wriggled out of it.
The other girls stared. "M-Miyuki… Konata! Wha-" stammered Kagami.
Konata held a hand up, "She's doing it! That means we're not really in a bath. We've been hypnotized!"
Tsukasa and Kagami tried to cover themselves with their hands, shrieking, "Kyaaa!"
Miyuki, now totally naked, joined in on the embarrassed screaming.
"Yutaka!" shouted a flustered Konata, "Quickly, you have to return us to normal!"
"I… I don't know how!" wailed Yutaka, holding up her pendulum on its string.
All of the girls' eyes snapped to the pendulum.
"Uh… you are, um, getting sleepy?" tried the red-haired girl, swinging it back and forth slowly.
"… getting sleepy…" all the girls replied, immediately, their eyes beginning to glaze over.
Emboldened, Yutaka continued, "Watch the coin… swinging back and forth… back and forth…"
The girls fell silent, watching the coin closely.
Yutaka swung the pendulum back and forth. Back and forth. "You cannot resist its… its power… its irresistible pull…"
Kagami and Konata began to slump forward, already entering an obedient trance.
Yutaka's pendulum swung faster, and faster. "You will become… hypnotized… so deeply… hypnotized…" she said.
Tsukasa's eyes fell shut, her body shuddering as she was conditioned to obey. Miyuki couldn't help joining her in enslavement, her head nodding forward as an unconscious, vacant smile spread out across her face.
Her power captivating the girls utterly, with all of them slumped forward and asleep at her command, Yutaka continued to swing the pendulum in front of her eyes. "You… must… o-b-e-y…"
Her own eyes fell shut, her enslavement completed. She fell forward herself into the unconscious ranks of obedient, hypnotized girls.
There was a loud click, and a creaking sound as a blast of cold air entered the house.
"Come here, girls, I've brought the Christmas cake!" called Sōjirō in greeting.
Suddenly, everybody's eyes snapped open in the other room, and the naked girls' nipples stiffened in the chill wafting in from outside as they got slowly to their feet, swaying obediently.
"Y-yess, master…" they moaned, unable to resist obeying his order instantly.
Sōjirō got the shock of a lifetime as his cute little niece led a large group of blank-eyed, hypnotized girls into the corridor, all apparently unable to resist his commands.
Almost as soon as he saw Yutaka, the blood rushed to his head, and Sōjirō collapsed with a massive nosebleed.
She was the only one still wearing clothing.

LUCKY CHANNEL!
"Good lucky!" squealed Akira, waving her voluminous sleeves in excitement. "Wasn't that amazing, everyone? Hypnosis really is powerful! What's going to happen to the girls now?"
"Of course, hypnosis like this isn't real," said Minoru, "so don't try this at home."
Akira stopped suddenly, and looked askance at Minoru, leaning her head on one elbow. "Oh, so you're the expert now, are you?"
"Uh, w-well, I only meant…" Minoru stammered.
Akira buffed her fingernails, looking idly at her hand as she said, "I'm not sure a newbie like you should be actin' so high and mighty…"
"I- I'm sorry!" Minoru said, bowing. "Please forgive me, everyone."
Looking bored, Akira tilted her head until she was looking upward at Minoru. "You know, I used to get hypnotized, to help with stage-fright when I was little. So, actually, it's very real. It takes a lot of work to make a kid into a star, you know?" She huffed, flopping her sleeves forward. "I didn't get here overnight."
"Oh, I see," said Minoru. "I - I did think you were watching quite closely during the hypnotic induction…" he muttered. "I wondered if you might've be-"
Akira narrowed her eyes, her pupils shrinking with rage. "Did you say something?"
Minoru gulped. "I, um-"
Akira suddenly came to life, flopping her sleeves in a cute farewell gesture as she shouted, "Oh! It's time to go everyone! Don't forget to tune in next time!" She winked at the audience with a winning smile. "Buh-bye!"
"Good night, everyone!" said Minoru, waving.
The cute, vibrant Akira's movement slowed to a stop, her big eyes opening even further as her sleeves flopped down onto the desk and her jaw fell open wide. "I… uhh…" she stammered softly, and her head turned around slowly as she looked at Minoru with totally blank eyes, devoid of all free will. "I am your slave, my master," she said in a soft, subservient tone.
Minoru was frozen. "A-Akira?"
Totally under his power, she could only reply with, "Yessss master… I will obey your every command."
