106-105. Start as usual, not as usual



 Most of the other worlds are sword and sorcery fantasies.
 They're all alike. It's to the point where I want to complain that when you hear the word "other world" you only associate it with fantasy.
 Of course, each different world has its own personality, but if you pass by, it's not much different from the color of the trash cans in each apartment.

 In such an alternate world, what you can say is that there are always demons, or monsters.
 I define monsters as "things without dignity".
 Each world has its own rules for how they emerge, but the monsters that cannot coexist and prosper with human society are called monsters.

 They are targeted and recommended for extermination because they are harmful to human society, and their corpses are stripped down to the marrow of their bones. If you're an ability-grabbing cheat-holder, no one will complain about you taking their special abilities and making them your own, and your conscience will not be hurt. He's like such a resource.
 There are a lot of trippers who will throw up and say that killing people is no good, but it's hard to meet a saintly person who will show mercy even to a violent monster that attacks you. They can't live long enough to do so.

 On the contrary, demons or demon kings who think of coexisting with humanity are just intelligent life forms of a different species, and they can't strictly be called monsters.
 The demons that humans can use (tame) are also able to coexist with the human race, so they are in a different category from the 'monsters'.

 Well, that's why there are so many people in the other world who think it's okay to use subordinate magic to enslave the monsters they summon for the rest of their lives.
 Now, those of you who have a good sense of what I'm trying to say up to this point will know what I mean.

''What........what do you mean by refusing!
That's what I meant. If you think I'm going to be your errand boy or pet, I'm not.

 Yes. There are cases of sorcerers who want to summon monsters to subjugate me.
 And it's not that uncommon. The so-called 'summoning of a messenger', when I'm approached about a subordinate contract, is probably the second most common after the usual summoning of a hero.

 However, there aren't many cases that could become a topic of conversation. In about 70% of the cases, you just have to turn down an offer to sign a contract through pure discussion.
 For a sorcerer, failing to make a contract with a summoned monster or an errand boy is not an option when dealing with animals, but when dealing with demons, it is only natural that a certain amount of reward or compensation is demanded. If there's no room for negotiation, you can just go home and summon the next person, which makes it easier to break the contract.
 It's unpleasant to be asked to become a messenger, but it's not a bad deal for me, so I can just respond appropriately and be done with it. If you think of it that way, it's a good case.

 So why do we bother talking about it?
 Of course, that's because this is the other 30 percent.

'You've got to be kidding me. You know how much money and effort we spent on summoning you? If the instructions are correct, then when the summons is fulfilled, the contract should automatically be in place and you'll have to obey me!

 A small, red-haired, legitimate Lolita woman with red hair in a sorceress-style robe - the Lolita hag is stepping on the ground with a large angry look on her face.

'That's what I've been told. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about. I'm not obligated to follow it.
Ggghhhhh...

 I feel sorry for the failure to summon him, but that doesn't mean we're volunteering to do it either. A tantrum won't change my answer.

 As I was thinking such things, the loli hag who had a blue streak on her face suddenly huffed and became calm.
 Ah, yes, I have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen next.

''I wonder how long I'll be able to listen to that diminished mouth! Activate the straitjacket!

 With a signal from the sorcerer, chains suddenly extended from the different spaces on all sides and bound my limbs.

''Fuhahahaha! I won't be able to solve the ruse until you answer yes or no to the contract! If you want to be freed, obey!

 I look alternately at the poorly breasted lollipops and the chains that bind my arms and legs as I look at them triumphantly.

'Huh....'

 He sighed with all his might.

'I could say that about all the guys who summon trippers like us... Once again, the way we're treated is on par with the way we're treated by 'monsters'.
What ... what are you talking about?

 I ignore the bewildered loli hag.
 I feel a sense of helplessness, but my mouth moves by itself.

You can force them to obey you, you can threaten them if they don't obey you, you can threaten them if they don't return to their home world, and in some cases, you can even kill them. Summoning another world is still kidnapping and confinement, no matter what anyone says. I know it's useless to scream about freedom and rights, though. This is not modern Japan. This isn't modern Japan. You have to earn your own power. If we trippers want to survive in another world, whether it's called a cheat or not, we have no choice but to show our strength without saying four or five.

 Once again, I wanted to curse the inexcusable nature of fate.
 The unhappy thoughts that I usually keep in my heart that I don't have to think about every single thing, started to sizzle and hurt like a festering wound.

'That's how I got the power. What's wrong with being arrogant? Why do I have to weigh in on the other side of the world just to humor them? What's the point of destroying the whole world of those who call me a monster... well, maybe we shouldn't do that, but I don't think there's any reason why we shouldn't be angry when someone who is inexplicably annoying tries to tie me and us down. Right?
Oh, you can't talk like that! Liberation is--
I know. That's why I said I'm going to win.

 After asserting clearly, he lightly tugged on the chains of the restraint technique. With that, it popped off like a rusty piece of junk or something.

''Huh?''
Well. That's all I have to say. You're gonna pay for it.

 The exact same restraint technique that the stunned loli hag in front of him had activated was activated without a chant. Her limbs were restrained.

''That's ridiculous. It's a fourth-order technique. There's no way you can break it! On the contrary, to be able to use the same thing in an instant without any preparation...!
'I'm sorry, but you can use almost any otherworldly magic that exists somewhere, except sacred-type magic. As long as you're aware that such magic exists.

 When I explain it to her in a polite, idiotic manner, she looks away from me as if she were looking at an unknowable monster.

''Hey, look at me!''
Heeeee?

 Telekinesis forces me to turn around and look into the loli hag's red eyes.

''You seem to be having a hard time with something, but I'm the one with the tricky rules. If I force you to enslave me with magic or something, I can't make you break your pledge because it's not your will. It's a matter of the soul. A sorcerer can understand that, right?

 The old loli hag nods coyly at my threatening line.

'So? Are you going to give up on making me an errand boy?

 And torture, if you don't have to do it, that's fine.
 It's not that I don't like it.

 But the loli hag didn't easily nod her head.
 There must be a lot of ideas going on in this guy's brain.
 It can't be helped. If that's the case, I'll help you decide.

Oh, man. What do you think you're doing?

 Suddenly I started to take off my own shoes, and the loli hag started to panic.
 However, since her limbs are chained and suspended in midair, there's no way to resist.

''Isn't it obvious? I'm telling you that I'm going to inflict unimaginable pain on you.
What's the matter with the stick no, no, no, no!
I can't. What did I just say? You'll pay the price...


 Lori's screams echoed through the unknown summoning room.



'I'll keep going until you answer with a high or yes. Give up trying to turn me into an errand boy.


 It took five minutes to continue the similar exchange.
 The loli hag was still persisting in my torture.

'That's not so bad. Most of the time, a normal guy wouldn't even last ten seconds...
Who will not bow to you? Who do you think I am, igeeeeeee?
"Kukuku, you look like you've been gutted...

 I played with the torture rod in my hand, mocking the old woman's madness.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. It's like I've never heard of this before...
Oh, this? It's what we call a foot massage.
Foot or jar?

 I smiled back at the old loli hag who looked at me with a big smile, and then I held her ankle again and put the torture rod on the sole of her foot.

The soles of your feet are connected to every part of your body. "The soles of your feet are connected to every part of your body. That's why if something is wrong with your body, it will hurt like hell when it's pressed. For example, here is the stomach.
Gui-Yi...!
We're in the gut.
Ngaaaaaaah!
This is my waist.
Hoorah!
It's your stomach that's hurting you. You feel like you can't even speak. If you continue this foot massage, your internal organs will be destroyed rapidly. Are you sure? You can't take it back any longer.
No, no, no...!

 In fact, it's getting healthier and healthier, but the otherworldly people don't know that.
 The trend these days is to use this very peaceful and gentle torture to make people break their minds and break their vows, except for those who are really trying to do you harm.

'Okay, okay. I give up on making you an errand boy!
Okay, okay.

 Okay, that's it.
 Thank you for your help.

'And that's enough! Release the restraint technique.
Hooray.

 I snapped my fingers and the chains disappeared, and the loli hag thrown into the air and dropped without being able to catch herself.

'Aww. Ugh, you could have let me down more gently.'
I don't see any reason to go that far. By the way, you've really given up on making me an errand boy, haven't you?
'Oh, yeah. Of course it would be a real shame to let go of a gem like you, but it can't be helped.

 The lolly hag really looks disappointed, her shoulders slumped.
 She doesn't seem to be lying.

'Hmm?'

 If that's the case, why isn't the next summoning team coming up?
 'I made him break his vow to 'make you a messenger', so he should be summoned as usual.

''Oh, and it's a shame!

 As I was twisting my neck, the lolly hag suddenly started screaming.

''I thought I would finally get my wise man's legacy and become famous too!
...the legacy of the wise men?

 What's that disturbing key word?

'Hm? Oh, how could you, an Otherworlder, know that?

 Thus, the Lolibaba's mouth spoke about the legacy of the wise men.
 I nodded yes and nodded in agreement while listening to most of its contents.

'I see. I know what I've learned about the wise man's legacy. By the way, do you intend to give up your legacy?
No! You don't have to have a messenger, you just have to show that you're great enough to be a wise man. Now, we can't stay like this. Let's go now!

 I silently activated my restraint technique towards the loli hag who started to move with Pinshaka.
 I suspended her in midair again.

"What are you doing, Kisama!
I won't say anything bad. Just give it up.
What? Why? ! I've already let you go!
I need you to give it up!

 As it turns out, the line was gibberish. The loli hag grins at me.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that. I see! That's the wish that's holding you back! So you refused to work as a messenger and tried to get me to break my vows! That's a shame. My true desire is to carry on the legacy of the wise men! So the reasoning that binds you is still binding you.......so the pledge is still in effect!

 Tsk. This guy was really good, apparently.
 As expected, he exposed too many cards in his hand against a professional.
 I honestly admit my mistake, but I'll rethink my head.

 This loli hag has a bit of a prideful streak, but she doesn't seem to be a bad person.
 He endured my torture for more than five minutes, and it's probably hard to get him to give up in the same way.
 And most importantly.....

"The wise man's legacy, hey you really want to get your hands on it, don't you?
'Yes! I desperately need to look back at those who ridiculed me!

 Oh, I see.
 So you're betting your life you're going to feed your puny ego, and clear your throat for people you probably forgot about now.

Okay. I like your motive, it's really quite humble. I'm also curious to know what the legacy of the Wise Men is, okay? I'm going to be your mage for a limited time.
Oh, really?
Yeah. It's just a formality.
I don't care!

 The old woman, who had regained her energy after the effect of my foot acupressure massage, suddenly pointed in the wrong direction.

Then, let's go to the wise men's forest!
Hey, yeah.

 Thus.
 The usual case that could have happened anywhere ended up taking an unexpected turn because of my whimsy and old Lolita's persistence, though.
 I never thought that such an incident would be waiting for me...I never dreamed at that time.
