You're a pussy!

　The old man released a desperate spell and breathed on his shoulder.
　Despite his ragged breath, the old man had a winning smile on his face.
　Among the legal arts that he could use himself, he chose a jutsu that was particularly good at killing and had a short chant, and released it.
　There is no one who can survive eating that. That's what I can assure you.
　That's why the old man loosened his mind. He didn't check to see if Ryouma was really dead.
　That would be a fatal mistake.

　Ryoma, who had been lying on the ground, jumped up when he saw the old man's slackness.
　It was hard to believe that he was a huge body over 100Kg. The distance between him and the old man was quickly closed.
　When the old man noticed this, he started chanting his Dharma technique, but not in time.

''Na!　Nonsense!　Almighty...

　doggone it

　A low, muffled sound came from the old man's right side.

''Guhaw.''

　Ryojin's fist, driven in relentlessly, forced air out of the old man's right lung, causing him to stop chanting.
　It's a simple matter of revealing the seed.
　After kicking the soldier's back, Ryouma fell to the floor.
　Just like that.
　If the old man's jutsu had been fire, Ryouma's body would have been severely damaged even if he hadn't taken a direct hit from that high heat.
　If the jutsu the old man let loose was a jutsu that made countless stone spears stand up from the earth, Ryoma would have been pierced through his body.
　But the jutsu that the old man let loose was the jutsu of Raiden and Storm Wind.
　Both of them were one-shot killing jutsu with high killing power for the old man.
　But Raiden had kicked the man in metal armor in front of him, and as a result, he was able to avoid it by taking the place of a lightning rod, and the storm wind had also passed over Ryojin's head by getting down on the floor.
　Humans are most careless when they are convinced.
　They are overconfident that their own Dharma techniques will definitely hit the mark. And they are overconfident that if it hits, they will be able to kill their opponent.
　These two overconfidence brought victory to Ryojin.


"Nah, old man. Where are we?

　Some of his ribs must have been shattered. Approaching the old man who was squatting while holding his right armpit with his hands, Ryoma asked in a calm voice.

''Guuuuuu........''

What?

　Veki

　An unpleasant sound echoes through the temple. A dry sound like the snapping of a dead branch.
　I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do," he said.
　Then, without hesitation, Ryoma's toe thrust into the old man's left side.

''Hey, old man. Answer my question, right?　You guys just said, "Die! "You're not a bastard! What a shout, you can't understand a word, can you?

　A wicked smile appeared on Liang Shin's face.
　But that smile was the most terrifying expression for the old man.

''Guuuuuu........''

　But the old man was unable to speak. All he could do was cower in pain.
　He ate Ryojin's kick and shattered a few of his ribs.

''Hey, old man. I don't like it very much, you know?　These things!

　Ryoma grabbed the squatting old man's left ear and twisted it upwards.
　The weight of the old man's weight on the left ear began to tear it to pieces, and blood began to drip from it little by little.

I'm not going to be able to do that. No, don't do that," he said. Get your hands off me!

Oh. Get off me?　You don't have the attitude of someone who asks for something, do you? That's for sure. You are too old and don't know how to talk.

　He still had the same thin smile on his face, but his eyes were as narrow as a thread and his gaze was as cold as ice.
　His expression was so different that it was hard to believe that he was the same person as the ordinary high school student he had shown to his classmates just now.
　His eyes were sharp and his face was as expressionless as a Noh mask.
　Maybe that was his true nature that was usually suppressed.
　The nature of the beast. The old man was the first victim to learn the true nature of that Ryojin.

　Gogun.

　A dull sound resounded again from the old man's right side.

''Gahhhh!''

　A scream like an animal was emitted from the old man's mouth.
　The relentless left fist blew the body of the old man, who was 160 cm tall and weighed around 60 kg, away for about two meters.
　The old man's left ear, which he had grabbed with his right hand, had been hit without letting go, so the old man's ear was still in Ryoma's right hand.

''Hey old man. Let's be honest, okay? All you have to do is answer a few questions and you're good to go.

　Ryoma walks up to the old man, who falls on his face, with a leisurely pace.

''No........stop.......gof.......please. I'll tell you, anything..........

　Blood bubbles flew from the old man's mouth every time he spoke, as if his shattered ribs had damaged his lungs.
　His face turned bright red from the blood that dripped from his torn ear.
　The old man could not bear any more pain. The old man struggled to speak while enduring the pain.

'Phew, that's good, that's good. Now let's go to question number one. 'Where am I?'

This is the palace of the Altomere Empire.

The Altomere Empire?

　Hearing the old man's words, a hint of doubt flashed across Ryoma's face.
　Ryoma liked social studies, and he was good at geography.
　He could name almost every country on earth. But the name of the country the old man called the Oltmere Empire was unfamiliar to him.

The old man said, "Well then. Yes, he is the ruler of the Great Western Army.

　As he said that, the old man blew a bloody bubble again.
　He didn't seem to notice the change in Liang Zhen's complexion.

''Well then, my next question. Why am I here?''

...because I ...summoned him....

Hmm. Well, I guess so.

　Ryouma replied to the old man's words without a care in the world.
　But no one knew what he was thinking deep down inside his heart that hadn't come to the surface. There was no way to know what was going on inside his mind.

Now for my third question. This is the most important one, so make sure you answer it right, okay?　It has a lot to do with your future!

　As he said this, Ryoma looked into the old man's face and asked.

''I'll be able to go back to my old world, won't I?''

　His voice is calm. His words are rough, but he doesn't seem to be intimidating others. He has an easygoing attitude, as if he were talking to a close acquaintance. But that is even more frightening.
　The old man's heart was beating until it was on the verge of bursting. This is the question the old man least wants to be asked right now.
　The old man desperately thinks of a lie to get through the moment.
(Should I tell him he can go back?) No, if I tell him we can go back, he'll definitely want us to go back. What do you say, then? (Should I say it takes time to prepare...?)
　Gaies Walkland, the chief court lawyer of the Oltmere Empire, who was chanted as the brain of Oltmere, could not be killed by such a lowly person.
　Because the future of the empire hangs on the old man's two shoulders.

　Fighting the pain of the broken bones and desperately working his head, Gaies suddenly realized that Ryojin's fingers were attached to his neck.

'Nah - old man. You can't lie to me, okay?　Lies.

　Ryouma grabbed a handful of Guyess's hair, looked into his face and said.

''Nah ... that's a lie ... but ...''

You were thinking.

　After guessing exactly what was on Guyes' mind, Ryoma continued, "It's your blood.

It's your blood. It's your blood. You were afraid that I would see through your lies, weren't you?　That's what got my pulse racing.

　As a matter of fact, Ryoma's words were a free bluff.
　He did indeed measure the speed of his pulse, but he couldn't tell if it was a lie, a broken bone, or simply a fear he had for Ryoma.
　But there was a certainty in Ryoma's mind. It was the fear that came over Guyes' face after he asked the third question.
　In other words, it was so bad that it could get Ryojin killed. If the old man doesn't say that, it should be seen as him thinking of a lie to get out of this situation.

''You........you......have that kind of ability....

Well, go ahead and say it. Can I go home? Can't you go home?

　After much agonizing, Guyes finally spoke up.
　The color of resignation floats on his face.

It's impossible..... At least not by me..........

"Hmm. Well, I knew I'd see the old man coming, judging by his attitude. So you got the technology to get home?

　Liang Zhen's face was still not filled with anger. Even after hearing the desperate old man's words, his tone could be described as calm.

(What...?　Why doesn't this guy get angry?　(Why aren't you upset?)
　The fear grew even louder in Gaies' mind.
　It's the type of person he hadn't been among the more than 100 otherworldly people he had summoned in the past.
　Most of the otherworldly people he had summoned so far would just panic and summon them. Naturally, they can't do anything and are bound by the soldiers, and Gaius gives them a spell of obedience.
　Some of the otherworldly people who were summoned, perhaps sensing the danger, were also those who struck at Guyess and others. But they were not against armed soldiers.
　They were seized by the soldiers and ended up prostrating themselves in front of Gayes.
　But the young man standing in front of him was different.
　There was no way that an otherworldly person just after being summoned by just one person could kill four soldiers.

As far as I'm concerned... there isn't one in the world that I'm aware of... that can do it.

　Amidst all sorts of questions, Guyes answers the question.

'You mean you can summon them, but you can't return? Why is that?

That's...

　Finally, the pulse of the gaies pulses faster.
(Tasteless ... how can I say this?)　How can I survive?
　I'm not sure how to answer Ryoushin's question so that I can survive.
　If he had seen Ryojin's behavior up until now, he knew perfectly well that he was a cruel and cold-hearted man who did not show the slightest mercy to his enemies.
　And if you answered the truth to the question now, you also know that this ruthless man would not let you live.

　A smile appears on Ryoma's mouth as he looks at Gaies, who hesitates to answer.

''Hm. I'm sure it's really hard to answer................fine. Then I'll answer it for you.

　Hearing Ryouma's words, Gaies' expression tightened with fear and surprise.
　His heart was pulsing as if it was tearing apart.
(No way... no, there's no way I can understand. For someone who has just arrived in another world, for example...)
　However, Guyes' wish was not fulfilled. The words that were released from Ryouma's mouth lured him to hell.

''If you don't have the technology to send back an otherworlder, it's probably because you don't want to let the one you summoned in the first place back alive, right?　We haven't studied the technology of return because there is no point in bringing the bodies home. So there's no way for any country to get home. Isn't that what you're saying?　How about that!　Isn't it?
