thank you for the translation!

It's not very clear to me, but did he put his hand around Renka's back to use the suggestion spell, or maybe by her hips?
I can't quite understand where he placed his hand based on the panels, and I'm assuming a requirement of the suggestion spell has to be almost within touching distance.
...
I have a question that will probably be answered when more chapters are translated (or if I bother checking out the LN/WN), but I feel that the MC has a certain degree of rizz and charm based on how he carries himself even without his use of mind manipulation spells.
If the story premise weren't explicitly stated to be NTR centric, all these suggestion/hypnotic spells can be passed off as his own inherent charm and social skills at work.
It wasn't depicted how he many times he had to use manipulation spells on the inn girl Charlotta, since the manga started off with their sexfriend status quo already being established, so I guess I'll just have to see MC's entire process when he uses it on Renka and Myris and determine if reading that process was as equally enjoyable than the usual direct form of NTR in other stories.
If anything, I'm of the thought that he would have been able to reach sexual intimacy with one or the other through his own merits given enough time, but the manipulation spells help accelerate the process and reduce the time(months/years) needed. The greatest bonus with the spell is that he will get two birds with one stone.
edit: I also just learned that this series has an english official translation by Seven Seas so I'll def check it out for any differences.
