Koizumi Akako dared to be so "bold" as to personally administer the medicine, naturally because she had her own confidence and support.

She personally crafted this "True Love Potion," and the recipe, ingredients, and even the magic she infused with it all originated from herself. She had long since developed a resistance to it and would not be affected by it at all.

It won't hurt to give it a try, and what if it works?

If you win, you make a fortune; if you lose…

At worst, I'll get a kiss.

Anyway... anyway, my first kiss was inexplicably stolen by this bastard in our previous "battle," so I'm not worried about the debt.

Hmm, thinking about it this way makes me feel even more heartbroken.

Her life as a witch was bleak.

Yuzuru obediently accepted this "sweet gift," and even deliberately licked her lips lightly with the tip of his tongue, taking away the melted chocolate along with the hidden magic potion.

He savored it carefully, then smacked his lips and commented, "It tastes good, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, and it even has strawberry pieces? Lady Hongzi has quite the girlish heart; the taste is quite unique."

Koizumi Akako: "???"

She stared blankly up at the boy in front of her, whose expression was normal, whose eyes were clear, and who even had a relaxed expression as if he were commenting on food. Her mind went completely blank.

The script is wrong!

After taking the enhanced version of the Love Potion, shouldn't one immediately have glazed eyes, a racing heart, and an irresistible attraction and obedience towards oneself?

What's with this reaction? Is it a review of the taste?!

"How could this be..." she murmured to herself, her crimson eyes filled with disbelief. "The potion... how could it fail... it should have..."

"It's still valid!"

Yuzuru suddenly spoke, interrupting her self-doubt.

Koizumi Akako suddenly looked up.

Yu Shengnan slowly squatted down to meet her gaze. His deep black eyes suddenly began to gleam with an extremely strange yet inexplicably captivating pink light.

"The potion's effects... are really good!"

"I feel like..."

He reached out and gently stroked Koizumi Akako's cheek, which was slightly stunned by the shock; his fingertips were burning hot.

I like you very much.

"!!!"

Koizumi Akako shuddered violently, her heart clenching as if gripped by an invisible hand, almost stopping in its tracks.

This feeling...this look...

The potion... worked?!

Yuzuru... has he really fallen in love with her?!

Overwhelmed by immense joy and an indescribable sense of conquest, she was instantly dazed!

“Hongzi…”

The young man called her name tenderly, his fingers even gently smoothing her long, fiery red hair, which had become slightly disheveled from her excitement. His voice was deep and magnetic.

From the first moment I saw you, I…

"etc!"

With a sliver of reason remaining, Koizumi Akako shoved him away abruptly, taking two steps back in a panic. Her crimson eyes were filled with astonishment and uncertainty. "This...this is not scientific! A potion should require at least ten minutes to fully take effect on the soul...how could it be so fast? This does not conform to the 'Basic Principles of Potion Dynamics'!"

It works even faster than nitroglycerin tablets.

Yuzuru wasn't angry when she pushed him away. He just tilted his head and gave her an innocent yet slightly aggrieved smile, his pink eyes sparkling even brighter.

"Maybe it's because... I love you too much? My love is overwhelming and uncontrollable, so... I can't extricate myself~?"

"Love is inherently irrational, isn't it?"

The reason was absurd, but given his handsome face and the strange yet incredibly sincere pink light in his eyes, it actually seemed somewhat... believable.

Koizumi Akako was a little stunned; her brain was working at high speed but couldn't process this sudden "success."

Could it be... that I really am a one-in-a-million potion genius?

The enhanced potion worked so quickly that Yuzuru Hanyu was completely captivated by her witch-like charm.

She suppressed the overwhelming joy that was about to burst forth from her heart.

We decided to do one last test to be on the safe side.

She cleared her throat, trying to adopt the haughty demeanor of a witch, raised her chin, and tentatively commanded, "Then...then call me 'Lord Akako' and let me hear it."

Yuzuru immediately complied, his eyes filled with infatuation, his tone respectful yet adoring, calling out to her with perfect fluency:

"Lord Akako~ My supreme Lord Akako~"

This address, delivered with respect and overflowing admiration, instantly dispelled Koizumi Akako's last shred of doubt.

Koizumi Akako: "!!!"

It was a success!

It really worked!

The arrogant and domineering Yuzuru!

This powerful, mysterious bastard who always teased her has finally succumbed to her magic potion!

"Hahahaha—!!!"

Overwhelmed by joy and a sense of accomplishment, Koizumi Akako could no longer contain herself. She put her hands on her hips, threw her head back, and let out a classic villainous laugh that echoed through the empty underground studio, filled with the exhilarating feeling of triumph.

"Finally! Finally, you've submitted to the feet of Lord Hongzi! Hahaha... Hmm?!"

However, her laughter stopped abruptly before it lasted three seconds.

Because she suddenly realized that, without her noticing, Yuzuru had stood up and was getting closer and closer to her... so close that she could almost feel his warm breath on her face.

The pink light in his eyes seemed to intensify, carrying something dangerous and aggressive that instinctively made her feel threatened.

"Hey? Why are you so close? Step back! I'm ordering you to step back! Maintain a safe distance!"

Koizumi Akako instinctively pressed her hand against his chest.

She's a simple-minded girl who loves magic. She might have read some theoretical knowledge from certain forbidden books, but her practical experience is absolutely zero!

She only knew how to make potions to conquer her target, but she never thought about what to do after conquering him.

What are the steps? The instructions don't say!

So, the thoughtful Yuzuru Nanami "thought it out" for her.

"Seeing Lady Akako so happy makes me so happy too, I don't know what to do."

Yuzuru's smile grew even brighter and gentler.

The next second, he suddenly reached out—

He scooped up the still bewildered and ecstatic witch in a perfect princess carry.

"ah--!"

Caught off guard, Koizumi Akako let out a short gasp and instinctively grabbed his neck to keep from falling. "W-what are you doing?! Put me down! I'm ordering you as your master!"

She struggled in panic, only to find that she was bound tightly by a powerful yet gentle invisible force, unable to move at all.

"Yusuke Nanami! How dare you! Let me go! I am your master!" she screamed, her voice trembling with fear, as alarm bells went off in her head.

Things seem to be getting a little out of control.
