Huh?　What the hell?

　Immediately after I opened my eyes, I was in a large position.
　And my arms and legs were tightly bound.

'It worked,'
Okay, get the device.

　A couple of guys in robes brought some kind of suspicious circle.
　Yeah, that's it.

"Tei.

　I moved my limbs and the restraints snapped off.

""What?"
What are you trying to give me?

　Wobbling, he got up from a sort of operating table and grabbed the chest of the man nearest him.

'No, no, this is a tranquilizer.'
"Yes, Doubt.

　The punishment is an eye sore.

'Geez!　My eyes, my eyes!
'For all intents and purposes, it's a brainwashing device. Thank you so much.

　He popped the man who had started the rampage and turned his head around with a smile to define his new prey.
　The men were rushing to the entrance all at once.
　Oh, you're just quick to run away.

"Self-region expansion!

　We'll set up a perimeter, separating the room from the outside.

You're not gonna let one of them get away, are you?

　Some of them keep knocking on the door that won't open, and some others look back with a despairing expression.
　Well, this guy is going to be a pretty fun alternate world.



''Hmmm, so you'll be operating with a set of control rings...''
Yes, I do.

　After rolling the guys around, I woke up the guy who looked like the leader of the group and was questioning him.
　He was too scared to answer, so I put the collar on him.
　When I put the ring on, he could answer any question.

"What are you making this for?
The purpose is to utilize those I have summoned from other worlds as slaves.

　Yeah, I knew that.

''Sometimes those we summon from other worlds have special powers. Through the use of that power, our country has become greatly enriched.
Oh, yeah.

　It's really the same thing that the powers of the other world think so amazingly.

Even those who don't have power can be used as slaves. Women in particular can be used as s*x slaves--
I don't know what your s*x life is like, dammit.

　I was ready to grip that mouth.
　But the man had stopped talking without me having to do anything about it.
　I sigh and drop my arms, which have no place to go.

'I guess it's like this,'

　I asked a few more questions after that, and I knew everything I wanted to know.
　If I asked any more questions, all I'd hear was self-justification, like how they came to enslave the people they summoned, and how some people are saved by it.
　I don't want those things.
　We must basically ignore the enemy's situation.

　Besides, it's enough to make the pledge valid.

The pledge. Ryouji Sakagagi will destroy the otherworldly slavery system in this world.

　--Dismissed the summonser's request. Deputy's pledge accepted.

　A game like message plays in my head like it always does.
　It's a hassle, but if I don't do this and kill all the summoners or something, I'll have to stay in the same other world.

　For now, I'm going to start with destroying this disgusting facility, but what should I do...
　It would be tasteless to erase it with a single shot of great destruction magic, so I wonder if there's any interesting way to do it.

　Searching for inspiration, I head out of the wards.

"Intruder found, eliminated.

　They surrounded us as fast as they could.
　It seems that the outside world knows about the abnormality because we went a bit wild before we set up our wards.
　Well, I don't mind, it's more fun that way.

　By the way, there were only young kids surrounding me.
　From the right, a handsome man, a man with a square haircut, and a braid.
　I knew they use slaves for security too.
　A sword wrapped in flames, a spear made of ice, and a baton that emits electricity are each held at the ready.

"Oh, wait. I'm not an intruder. I am your master.
Master I understand.

　When I showed him the ring, he quieted down easily.
　It is not my intention to fight these children.

"By the authority of your master, I hereby release you from your servitude.

　The light returned to the slaves' eyes as they chanted the command words just as the man from earlier taught them.

''Eh, ah, I........''
What the hell am I doing?
Oh, my God, what is this?

　The slaves come to their senses and start throwing away the unlocked collars themselves.
　I see. Even though they don't have any memories of the brainwashing, they still instinctively avoid it.

　Hmm, what should I do?
　That's true.
　All right, now it's time to get to work!

'Guys, don't panic and listen to me!　You guys have been brainwashed!
""What did you say?"

　Grabbing is ok.
　As it is, I'll tell you what happened as it is, that I almost got brainwashed myself, but escaped.

'This other world doesn't think we're human!　I only see you as a tool!
This is unforgivable!

　A handsome man burns with righteous indignation.

'I'll get revenge!'

　A flame of hatred lit up in the hornbeam's eyes.

''It's awful...''

　Little Braid almost cried.

'I'll give everyone this ring, too. Don't use it for anything other than emancipation. If you do that, we'll be just like them.
Of course!
I know what I'm doing!
We need to help people!

　The former slaves voluntarily disperse without me having to tell them.

''Go ahead,''

　I smiled off, and I began to walk around as well.



　The slave facility was large.
　Spacious is also a testimony to the fact that this is the only facility in the country that gathers slaves from other worlds and brainwashes them.

　It's probably underground, since there are no windows and only ventilation vents to be found.
　Apparently the emancipation is going well, so there's no need for me to intervene.
　It seems that the enslaved monsters and such have been sent in, but as expected of the summoned ones. They easily slaughter them with their natural cheat ability.
　Even if they lose their memories, they seem to know how to use their cheat abilities instinctively, so I don't have to instruct them every step of the way, which saves me a lot of trouble.

''Nice, the festival should be like this after all.

　Eventually, the other world side will realize that emancipation is spreading and will respond in some way.

''Ah!''

　I turned toward the voice and saw a girl with braids pointing at me.
　Yeah, that's the girl who was there when we first let her go.

'Where have you been, I've been looking for you.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I've been moving around a lot, too.

　This is true.
　The facility had devices to isolate the slaves in case they ever revolted, or at worst they could blow themselves up from the outside and bury the entire facility alive.
　They were working behind the scenes to disable those things.
　This kind of behind-the-scenes work is really fun when you know that there's something to look forward to later.

'We were able to free all the enslaved kids!
Oh, I see.
But some people have done some terrible things to me so I'd like you to come along for the ride.

　Ugh.
　Uh-oh.

"...okay.

　I didn't want to see it, so I wished we could all decide together, but if they called me, I had no choice.
　Braid-chan brought me to the place, just as I expected.

　The boys were stuck in one place, mumbling about something awkward.
　The girls were gathered in front of a door away from it and were discussing it.
　I'd say there are a total of 20 of them. The total number of slaves here is in the hundreds with room to spare, so that's just a small part of it.

''We've brought them all in,''

　The braided girl waved to everyone and whoops and cheers went up.
　The men and women who had been split up gathered in one place around the braided girl.

'Come on, leader!'
"Huh?

　I thought, and then Braid pushed me forward.

'Why am I being treated like a leader?'
If it wasn't for you, we'd all still be slaves. We've decided that if you're the leader, you can't complain, so we want you in charge!
What is that?

　After poking around and listening to what I heard, I heard that they are working around some of the freed slaves who have already demonstrated leadership among the freed slaves without binding them to each other.
　The men and women I first freed are the ones who are taking the lead in freeing the slaves.
　In other words, it seems to be the handsome man, the corner cutter and the braided girl.

　As they were made to guard the most important part of the summoning room, the most important part of the room, these three guys were insanely strong and had cheat abilities that overwhelmed the others.
　A trifecta of handsome men of fire, ice cubes, and lightning braids.
　These three, no matter how you look at it, they're just the hero, Kamase, and the sub-heroine.

''Let's let them go.''

　The handsome man said emphatically.

'Let's make it easy for you.'

　Hornblower grits his teeth and mutters.

'I'd love to help you, but I don't know what to do...'

　The braids get lost and teary-eyed.

　None of the three of them would say who.
　Everyone here knew it.
　Including me.

'So that's the main opinion of the group now?'
Yeah, you decide what to do. We'll follow it.

　Hornblower said reasonably.
　I guess that means that the people here are representatives who can express some opinions.

　Nodding, I assured him without hesitation.

'Let them all go.'

　The handsome man's expression brightened.
　But the next words clouded it all at once.

''And on top of that, kill the one who wants to die.

　This time the corner cutter nodded divinely.

'But if someone doesn't want to kill you, try to convince them. If you can't, give up.

　The braids finally start to cry.
　The girls around her comfort her.

'We're fighting for freedom and liberation. That's why we will free you from bondage. But there will always be people who will suffer for being freed.

　Everyone's attention was on me as I continued to speak calmly and quietly.

'I think there are those who want to live and those who want to die ... both. I'm not saying that anyone who wants to die is free to die. If you want him to live, convince him. There's no such thing as truth or right. Conviction. Conviction is the only way to light our way.

　I don't know what they thought of my words.

　The handsome man nodded and let the girls with the rings into the room.
　A hornbeam tapped the braids on the shoulder.
　The jittery braid nodded quietly, crying.

　
　I shouldn't have done that, the gin machine comes out when I do something that's not a gala.

　Then I was called out by a handsome man.

'Thanks.'
'Uh....'

　That's it.
　And that's it.

　The guy is so hot! He's so hot, from the dialogues to the smile.
　You can't tell me that this guy is the main character.
　And he has the fire attribute.
