Chapter 81:
My Telekinetic Office Lady Girlfriend Is Way Too Powerful!
Morning sunlight streamed into the living room. In the kitchen, Ryoko was flipping pancakes while wearing sunglasses.
Shota: “Ryoko… the sunglasses look good on you. But they hide your beautiful eyes. It’s like the sun’s disappeared behind the clouds…”
Ryoko: “(Judging from the way he’s talking, Shota-kun is still in Demon King mode.)
Of course. Starting today, I’m going full ‘Demon Lord Guard Mode.’ I can’t let other women even think about trying to steal my Shota-kun.”
Shota: “Ryoko, what exactly is a Demon King anyway?”
Ryoko: “Oh, nothing~ Just talking to myself. I’ll be running my hormone control at full power at the office today, too ♡”
Shota: (…At the office too!?)
—Morning rush hour on the train. Even in the packed car, Sunglasses Ryoko clung tightly to Shota. Her glowing red eyes beneath the sunglasses showed that she was using hormone control to calm the surging emotions of the women crowding around Shota.
Ryoko: “Here, Shota-kun, stand right here ♡ This is the safest zone ♡”
Shota: “Um… Ryoko, this position—it’s basically you doing a kabedon to me… I’m such a lucky guy.”
From behind Ryoko, multiple girls’ hands reached out for Shota, like a scene straight out of a zombie movie. But Ryoko activated her telekinesis, shielding him. No one was getting through.
Male passenger: “Huh? It’s super packed in here, but that grinning guy has a whole empty space around him. Like there’s some invisible wall… Weird…”

【Ryoko’s Warning to Miki】—At the office.
Miki: “Oh! Good morning, Shota-senpai. …Whoa! Ryoko, ma’am, those sunglasses! Are you a celebrity or what?”
Ryoko: “Good morning, Miki-chan ♡ Not a celebrity—this is my Demon Lord Guard System ♡”
She lifted her sunglasses just a bit and winked.
Miki got the message. (She must’ve whipped up some kinda countermeasure against Shota-senpai’s mind control…)
Ryoko: “Miki-chan, can we talk for a moment?” She led Miki away from Shota to a quieter booth.
Miki: “Something happened, didn’t it now, Ryoko, ma’am?”
Ryoko: “...You saw right through it. As expected of an expert. The truth is, Shota-kun’s scent… it’s gotten stronger.”
Miki: "Now that ya mention it, he’s been grinnin' like a possum on a fence. This here’s a clear sign of mind control, y'know? You doin' alright, Ryoko, ma'am?”
Ryoko: “I’m managing. I’m doing my best not to touch him. But Miki-chan, I need you to make sure no other girls fall under his control. The thought of Shota-kun controlling anyone else… I just can’t take it.”
Miki: "Leave it to me! I’ll keep our gals safe from Shota-senpai!”
Ryoko: “And be careful yourself, Miki-chan. Don’t go turning into a mummy, okay? ♡”

【Demon King Shota Begins Work】—But the office floor already felt… off. A crowd of female employees had gathered around Shota’s desk.
“Good morning…!”
Imai-san from General Affairs choked on her words as she dropped her notebook in front of Shota’s desk. Kneeling to pick it up, she was promptly shoved aside by Chinatsu-san from Reception.
“Shota-san! Do you need your business card holder today? Should I get it for you?”
“I was just asked to fix your nameplate!”
“If you forgot your lunch… I could split mine with you!”
It was total chaos. No one even knew why they were there anymore. About ten women clung around Shota’s desk like fans at a concert. Or maybe… like pilgrims worshiping a god. One girl was literally staring open-mouthed, sighing dreamily.
One held the cuff of his shirt. Another gripped his pen tightly with her eyes closed.
“Whoa, okay! Everyone take a step back! Let’s get organized! Um… let’s line up or something! You on the left—move back!”
That voice came from Mochizuki-san in PR—one of the few still clinging to her sanity.
But the very next second—
“Shota-san… that necktie… oh my… it really… suits you…”
Her eyes melted into a dreamy daze.
—Just then, Ryoko and Miki returned to find this Shota-fan horde surrounding his desk. A twitch formed on Ryoko’s temple.
(This isn’t just strong. His hormones are flooding the entire floor…)
※ Thanks to her hormone regulation ability, Ryoko was immune to the direct effects.
—Ryoko stomped up to Shota’s desk. With a flash of telekinesis, the woman clutching Shota’s sleeve was yanked back. The pen in another woman’s hand? Now in Ryoko’s.
She stood behind Shota, arms crossed, towering in full Intimidating Wife Stance, activating her hormone adjustment across the entire floor. Her eyes glowed red beneath her sunglasses, broadcasting a psychic wave:
“I AM SHOTA’S WIFE.”
The female employees’ dazed expressions slowly returned to normal.
Mochizuki: “Hiiieee… T-Takahashi-Section Chief!”
Other women:
“Huh? What was I even doing…?”
“S, Section Chief Ryoko, excuse me♡”
“S-Shota-san, let’s chat next time, okay? ♡”
They all scurried back to their departments.
Ryoko: “Shota-kun~ Let’s have a little chat in the meeting room, shall we? ♡♡”
Shota: “Uh, right now!?”

【In the Meeting Room: Miki’s Major Incident and the Maid Outfit Curse】Ryoko had dragged Shota into the meeting room, but was promptly called away to another appointment.
Ryoko: “Sorry, Shota-kun. Just give me five minutes, okay? Stay here and let my red eyes cool down.”
Shota: “…Okay. I’ll do my best to ‘stay calm’… (probably)”
—Just then.
Click!
Miki: "Shota-senpai! …Well, I figured y’all were here. Got a lil’ worried when Ryoko, ma’am—bless her heart—came callin’. Hold on—why ya lookin' so dreamy… that grin of yours…”
Shota: “Miki-chan… You look really cute today.”
He said it in his most charming voice.
Miki: "...Oh, c'mon, Shota-senpai! If ya say stuff like that here, I'm gonna get the wrong idea for sure!”
—And then something in her brain just snapped.
Miki: “Fine! I’ll protect Shota-senpai myself!!”
—And she hugged him.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE… The entire meeting room shook.
Ryoko: “Oh my~ Looks like we’ve got a major incident ♡”
—Her red eyes glinted beneath the sunglasses.
Miki: "R-Ryoko, ma'am!? No ma’am, this ain’t what it looks like! I swear, it was just his scent—it kinda got to me is all!””
Ryoko: “Even if it’s the scent… this is clearly punishment confirmed♡”
Miki’s breathing turned heavy. Her thoughts grew hazy. Ryoko had started her hormone control.
Ryoko: “You’re pretty confident in your anti-mind-control skills, right Miki-chan? Then I bet you’ll be shocked when you wake up. Sleep tight until closing time~♡”
Miki: "Wh... why... so... dang sleepy... can't... fight it... zzz...”
And with that, Miki fell into a blissful sleep.
Ryoko: “Fufu ♡ Good thing I booked this room until evening~ Let’s call this a little nap mode.”
—The end-of-day chime rang. Miki woke up in the now-empty meeting room. She looked at her reflection in the mirror on the desk.
Miki: “Why… am I wearin’ a maid outfit!? This here’s… this is a—”
Her face flushed red as she screamed:
Miki: “MAJOR INCIDENTTTTTTT!!”
—Meanwhile, Ryoko was watching via company phone monitor.
Ryoko (watching): “Ufufu ♡ It’s because you’re dear to me. You should be grateful it was just a maid outfit, Miki-chan ♡”

【That Night — The End of Demon King Shota】That evening, at home.
Shota flopped onto the couch. Ryoko sat gently beside him.
Ryoko: “Phew… today was seriously exhausting…”
Shota: “But Ryoko, it felt like… everyone at work was really nice today.”
Ryoko: (That was all thanks to my hormone control, by the way ♡)
She lay down, resting her head on Shota’s lap.
Ryoko: “Hey, Shota-kun… I think it’s about time, don’t you?”
Shota: “Eh?”
Ryoko: “I think I like the usual you better. The you who gets embarrassed and turns red all the time…”
—Ryoko gently reactivated the Spoiling Link and softly closed the “door” inside Shota’s heart.
And the next morning—
Shota: “Waaaaaaah!! Wh-why did I… yesterday… the day before… what happened at the supermarket and the office… And why do I remember Mochizuki-san’s comment about my tie!? And with Miki-chan… maid outfit!? Was all that my fault!?”
Face burning red, he curled into a ball.
“Ryoko-senpai! I’m so embarrassed 😱”
Ryoko (smiling sweetly): “Yes yes~♡ This Shota-kun is definitely the cutest one~♡”
