Episode 278
* * *
“This is the place where His Majesty the First Ishmael gave his first speech. This is where the history of Ishmael began.”
The gangster who turned from a snowball to a nightgown became an excellent guide.
The remaining thug had one arm clutched, his eyes reddened.
I didn’t break it, I just cracked it, but it must have hurt a lot.
When our eyes met, the guy spoke hurriedly.
“The speech began with, “Listen, my dear people… … We are here on this earth… … .”
I thought it was going to be long, so I just raised my hand and cut him off.
Then he walked over to the two guys and hugged them with both arms.
“Actually, I like guys like you.”
Both guys look at me at the same time.
He had that look on his face like, “What the hell is this crazy guy talking about all of a sudden?”
Was it a little less accurate?
I was going to beat him up more, but I just held back.
Because what I said before is true.
“Kids who stick to their beliefs can’t get beat up easily, but kids like you can just get beaten up.”
It’s true that they are children of noble families, but I didn’t ask where they were from.
Because it’s annoying.
In fact, even if there are kids with family power or support or whatever, they can’t just do things to our teacher.
Because those kids know it instinctively.
If you get involved, you’re screwed.
I put some strength into my hands.
“I’m curious. Have you ever stolen a lot like this?”
The two guys shook their heads desperately.
Seriously, it seems sincere.
“Thank goodness. I think it was a good experience. There may seem to be a lot of people weaker than you in the world, but in my opinion, there are a lot of people stronger than you. So, let’s not go crazy and run wild with power that doesn’t matter. But can you feel it now?”
“What… what is it?”
“What am I thinking right now?”
Both guys shake their heads.
I guess you really don’t know.
“I was just thinking about this. I was wondering if I should just kill you two and bury you somewhere.”
“Please… please save me.”
“please…….”
About 80% of it is a joke, but these guys take it way too seriously.

Hehe.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. No matter how much of a psycho I am, I wouldn’t kill people like this. So let’s live a little better from now on. If it looks like someone has a partner, just quietly ignore them. Understand?”
The two guys nod their heads like crazy.
Actually, it’s strange not to understand.
I put my mana into my voice and implanted each and every word into your brain, so if you don’t understand it, there’s a problem.
I’ll probably be having nightmares for a while.
So I roughly sent the two punks away.
The way he runs hurriedly without looking back seems to be his will to never see me again.
That’s too bad.
If you see me later tonight, say hello.
[They use black magic in really strange places.]
I pretended not to know and asked back what the teacher who came next to me said.
“I, the disciple, do not understand what the Master is saying.”
The teacher bursts into laughter.
[You use nightmare like that.]
7th Circle Black Magic Nightmare.
It is a magic that manipulates the opponent’s mind and forces them to dream.
Of course, you can also manipulate the dream, which lasts for three days.
I guarantee you that in three days those two punks will be really nice.
[Looking at them, they both look like normal people. If they’re Nightmares, they probably won’t do anything gangster-like in the future. What kind of nightmare did you plant?]
“It’s nothing special. My teacher and I, with bloody faces, chase after two guys with kitchen knives in both hands, and they hide desperately. If I had to name a genre, it would be a romantic fantasy.”
The teacher bursts into laughter.
What is romance fantasy?
rather.
[It seems closer to a horror thriller.]
My teacher and I laughed quietly for a while.
[I’ve felt this way for a while now, but you’re a really interesting guy.]
“What is it?”
[When he uses magic, he doesn’t even say the name of the magic. He graduated as a magician and also graduated as a swordsman… … He’s a truly amazing and amazing guy.]
The last words sound like a monologue, but habits that weren’t there when you were a doll suddenly appear when you become a human.
At that moment, I was smiling like that and was about to walk around the city with my teacher again.
It caught my eye.

There were quite a few people gathered in what looked like a market street.
Is there anything to see?
As I thought that, a loud voice began to resonate from within.
“One person has been eliminated! Are there any challengers left?”
A microphone vibrates in the hand of a man wearing a black fedora.
“For those who don’t know, let me explain again. Do you see this pamphlet? It’s a simple truth game. If you answer exactly 5 questions correctly, you’ll get 100 gold. Huh? The entry fee? It’s only 1 gold. It’s a chance to earn 100 gold for 1 gold. Why? Are you going to participate? No? Then why did I ask. Are there really no other participants?”
Interestingly enough, no one wanted to participate.
It was really strange.
They say that if you answer all five questions correctly, you’ll get 100 gold.

Why doesn’t anyone participate?
Even a few were shaking their heads.
I guess I should say it’s a feeling of knowing that it won’t work no matter how hard you try.
Somehow I feel curious.
The teacher who noticed it first said something.
[Do you want to participate?]
“Yes. It sounds fun. It’s a truth game.”
[As expected, he likes gambling quite a bit… … .]
I paid no attention to the teacher’s mutterings and quickly raised my hand.
Then the host spots me and smiles brightly.
It’s the kind of expression that makes you think you’ve caught a good person.
I wonder if I got it right or if the old man got it right.
“Ah! There you are. Handsome student, come here, come here.”
He approached me quickly.
Then I hand him one gold piece, and he points to the chair in front of him.
“Okay, sit over there.”
As I sat there without saying a word, the fedora man handed me a round object the size of an adult male’s fist.
“You must hold on to this.”
I’ve already asked, but I can’t help but ask.
“What is this?”
The man smiles brightly.
“It’s a lie detector.”
“What kind of detector is it?”
“Lie detector, do you know what happens when a normal person lies?”
You’re talking without even wiping your mouth.
There’s no way I could know.
I have never told a lie.
“Usually, there are changes in bodily functions such as pulse, blood pressure, breathing, and sweating. Things like a faster pulse, changes in breathing, or sudden sweating.”
“So this toy in my hand catches that kind of thing?”
“That’s right. I guess you go to Ishmael Academy? You’re handsome and smart, too.”
No problem.
I suddenly like this guy.
Then suddenly he picks up the microphone and shouts.
“A new challenger has appeared! Everyone, please give him a round of applause!”
Some people applauded, but most people were shaking their heads.
With a very, very tired expression.
I’m a little curious.

What question did you ask that made you react like that?
The man asked me.
“Are you here alone?”
I, being quick-witted, answered very cleverly.
“Is that your first question?”
“… … Uh… … Oh.”
The man’s eyes draw a line.
Very, very funny eyes.
“You’re quite a sight. Okay. Let’s take this as our first question. Are you alone?”
He shook his head.
“Hey, just shaking your head won’t do. Use your remaining fingers to point to your companion. Judging from her appearance, she seems strangely female… … .”
He chuckled and pointed at his teacher.
Of course, not by pointing with a finger, but by spreading out five fingers.
It’s not like I’m rude.
Then, the host first looks at the teacher, and everyone who follows my gestures looks at the teacher and opens their eyes wide.
Even though the teacher had been intentionally hiding his presence after the friction with the gangsters, the story would be different if he were pointed out like this.
“oh my god…….”
“and…….”
“… … Person… …?”
In that situation where everyone was shocked, the first one to calm down was the Fedora guy, the host.
Then he looks at me as if he had bitten a very delicious fish.
And then he whispers quietly in my ear.
“A beauty and a handsome man… … . You’re not in an ordinary relationship, are you? A big age gap, a ‘special relationship’ kind of thing.”
This guy.
I really like it.
“You can tell just by looking at it, right? Haha.”
“That’s right. You can tell just by looking at it. Hehehe.”
The laughing host grabs the microphone and shouts.
“Okay, now for the second question.”
already?
“I have special feelings for that woman. Please answer with either yes or no.”
I’m starting to get the hang of it.
So this is how the truth game is played.
He said with a smile.
“yes.”

There was no response on the lie detector.
“Ohhhhh. It’s true. It’s true, folks.”
Everyone laughs.
Very pleased.
One after another.
“Let me get straight to the third question. If ‘your lover’ was kidnapped, would you risk everything you had to rescue her?”
Before answering.
“Can you really kidnap my lover? No one can do that.”
The host laughs humorously and the fedora bobs up and down with his laughter.
“Then let’s do this. The one who is trying to kidnap your lover is none other than God. He is a god who is very interested in money. If he looks like that, even God will fall for him. Isn’t that possible? Now, I will ask you again. Your lover has been kidnapped. God wants the property you have. Would you risk all your property to rescue your lover?”
Of course my answer is.
“yes.”
The lie detector gave no response.
“Then here’s the fourth question. I had s*x with more women than I thought before I met this woman.”
The question is getting really tricky.
Of course my answer is.
“no.”
The host laughed again this time.
As if telling me not to lie.
Of course, I look like I have abilities in terms of looks and overall.
As expected, the lie detector showed no reaction.
The host was embarrassed for the first time.
Then he whispers in my ear.
“Is it true?”
“What is it?”
“Haven’t you met many women? With that face?”
“That’s what happened. I’m a bit of a romantic.”
“Then that woman. Hmm.”
The host, with an expressionless face, slowly chews his lips.
And the silence that followed.
I’m curious too.
What should I say?
just.
I should say that I suddenly got the feeling that why is it doing this?
People around me say things like, ‘Hey, what are you doing instead of asking questions?’
Advertisements
As all the noises pile up, the host finally shrugs.
And then he said this.
“Last question. I can take that special feeling I had for that woman with me forever.”
Just as I was about to say yes.
Woof woof woof-!!
Boos erupted from all sides.
What kind of question is that?
In many places, people are shouting things like, “Hey, why are you suddenly like that? If that’s the kind of question you’re asking, I participated too! Are you discriminating against people based on their appearance?” and things like that, which is a bit strange.
What kind of question is that all of a sudden?
Should I say that it’s really steamy?
