"I will cast a magic spell on you,

" Anna said while looking deep into Leon's eyes.

n

"What magic? Are you a witch or something?

" Leon responded in an emotionless voice.

nSure, Leon was out of depression after spending some time with Ida, but the whispers in his mind had returned.

nLeon knew that sooner or later, he would go insane and do the same thing he did a couple of nights ago.

n

"Do you trust me or not?

" Anna asked.

n

"I don't…

"

n

"Do you want me to stop the voices in your head, or not?

" Anna asked again.

n

"...yes.

"

n

"So I will cast a spell on you for that. But first, you have to put all your trust in me. If you don't, the spell won't work,

" Anna stated in a calm voice.

n

"Okay…

" Leon nodded.

"I will do anything. Just stop the voices.

"

nAnna placed her hands on Leon's ears and said,

"Can you hear anything?

"

nLeon shook his head in response.

nAnna squinted her eyes and said,

"The spell won't work if you are lying.

"

n

"I can listen a little,

" Leon replied with a sigh.

nAnna applied some pressure on Leon's ears and asked,

"How about now?

"

nLeon shook his head in response.

nAnna raised her brows and asked with a curious look on her face:

"Then how do you know what I am speaking?

"

n

"I am reading your lips, idiot.

"

n

"Okay, so stop reading them. Don't pay attention to anything. Just look into my eyes and get lost in them,

" Anna paused before saying,

"Do you understand?

"

nLeon nodded in response and focused on Anna's eyes. He looked at his reflection in Anna's eyes, and in that reflection, he looked into Anna's eyes.

nLeon was so lost in looking into Anna's eyes that he didn't even realize that Anna was speaking. After a few seconds, Anna rubbed her thumb on Leon's cheek to get his attention.

nShe uncovered Leon's ears and said,

"I have cast the spell.

"

nLeon closed his eyes and opened them again with a wide smile on his face.

n

"It worked!

" he rejoiced.

n

"Of course, it would.

" Anna hugged Leon and buried his face under her bosom.

"But the spell's effect is temporary. It will come back after a few days.

"

n

"That means…

"

n

"Yes.

" Anna hugged him even tighter and said with a vile smirk on her face:

"That means... you need me. I am the only one who can cast that spell.

"

nLeon always thought Anna was an abnormal girl who liked to get beaten and tortured. Who found joy in suffering. Who was a masochist. But there was one more thing Leon didn't know about Anna.

nAnna was a Yandere, and she had caught Leon in her clutch. Not only that, she was now his caretaker too.

nAfter that day, Anna would take care of Leon's everything, making it impossible for Leon to live without her. However, Leon was Leon.

nLeon pushed Anna back and made some distance between them.

n

"You should leave now,

" he said with a glare in his eyes.

n

"You are throwing me out as soon as your work is done?

" Anna asked in disbelief.

"You are so cruel.

"

n

"...

" Leon did feel bad for treating Anna like that. Especially when she was taking care of him for the past few days. But still, he didn't like Anna.

nAnna squirmed with a flushed face and said,

"But that's what makes it more….. Enjoyable! So exciting!

"

nAnna enjoyed getting treated harshly. It was a reward for her.

n

"Are you done now?

" Leon asked impatiently.

"Now leave.

"

n

"Umm.. what will you eat for dinner? You have to confirm whether your taste has come back or not, right?

" Anna asked with a curious look on her face.

n

"My taste is back,

" Leon stated.

"But yeah, cook something for me.

"

nLeon could taste Ida's milk when he drank it directly from her breasts. It was the only thing Leon wanted to taste, and that's why his taste was back.

nAnna wore an apron and asked,

"What do you want to eat?

"

n

"Anything is fine. But… I want to drink that soup you made that day. It looked good,

" Leon responded in a calm voice.

"I want to see how it tasted.

"

n

"Okay~

" Anna said cheerfully and started making dinner while humming.

nIt wasn't as though Leon hated Anna, he just didn't like her. However, he had started to trust her a little after what she had done for him.

nSurprisingly, Leon never had a thought of r*ping Anna or harming her. Because even if Leon did that to her, she would enjoy it.

nLeon couldn't get used to Anna's masochist tendencies.

nWhile Anna was cooking dinner, Leon turned on the television to watch the King's Game.

nHe was feeling tense because he wasn't sure if his disorder had been cured or not. But fortunately, he could watch it without any problem, and he didn't feel anything after watching it.

nHowever, that didn't last long.

nAfter about five minutes of watching the King's game, the television turned off.

nLeon's first thought was that Anna turned off the switch or pulled the cable. He glanced at the kitchen to see Anna was cooking dinner. So he looked at the switch, and sure enough, it was turned on.

nAt the same time, Leon received a message from the landlord.

nYou didn't pay for the electricity bill, so they cut the line.

nThey will be restored if you pay the bill.

nPS- They will charge extra as a penalty.

n

"...

" Leon stared at his phone screen then stared at the television for a while.

n'I have to do something about the money,' Leon sighed. 'I always use the money I steal.'

n'I have to plan a money heist, but that needs a team. I can't do anything alone. Maybe I should rob a rich person?' Leon wondered.

n'But… whose house can I easily break into? I already owe Tania 20 million for paying for my spine and operation cost. She didn't ask me to pay her back, nor do I plan to pay her back. But I will have to give her money for her expenses.

"

nLeon looked at Anna and remembered something.

n'Her father is rich as **, right?' Leon smirked and thought, 'I think I know what I am doing in this month's purge.'
