Chapter 151 – Hypnotic Pure Love
I gulped at the sight of the hero, who seemed to have entered a trance as described in hypnotic books.
To be honest, I didn’t think it would be successful all at once.
She also thought that since she was a fairly high-level wizard, her magic resistance would be quite high.
Realizing that a banned book is not a forbidden book for nothing, I read the cautions written on the book.
“This hypnosis is not permanent. The criminal act of changing the other person’s emotions and memories at will can come flying like a boomerang to you, so please never use it for that purpose. -Nakamura-“
If you knew that, you shouldn’t have published it, man.
Like the Purgatory Yam I saw before, what the hell was this Japanese reincarnated guy making in the past?
Even though I grumbled, I organized the magic ceremony according to the explanation in the book.
Then, a small magic circle appeared on the palm of my hand.
Vanessa, who was next to her, asked with a curious expression.
“What are you doing?”
“To change the warrior’s common sense. First of all, we need to make them come out cooperatively.”
According to the precautions, the duration of hypnosis is up to 48 hours.
After that time, it is said that the hypnosis is released and the original memory is restored.
Of course, he seems to have forgotten everything that happened in between, but for now, he decided that it would be enough to just put a leash on the hero.
I turned the hand holding the magic circle to the right and said.
“From now on, your ‘hostility’ toward me will turn into a ‘favorite’.”
The basics of hypnosis are keywords.
It starts with placing restrictions on the other person’s thinking by presenting specific conditions.
At this time, the effect of the keyword becomes weaker when the word is too broad, and conversely, the narrower the meaning included, the stronger the effect.
“And you can’t attack me, and you’re ‘dependent’ in a situation that’s psychologically disturbing.”
“And the desire to ‘depend’ gradually turns into ‘love’.”
Would this be enough?
I slowly decided to complete the hypnosis spell.
“Wait for a sec.”
“Uh?”
Vanessa, who was next to her, asked with a sullen expression.
“Why is it love?”
“Yeah… Is it the easiest emotion to use?”
There is no better feeling than love when it comes to mentally restraining the other person.
The reason for this was fully explained in this book.
“I’m going to tell Ozma.”
“Oh, look at that.”
I looked at her eagerly as I said that, but Vanessa turned her head away with a hush.
“You know the only thing I like is the four of you.”
“Your man?”
“Of course, you are the best among them.”
I know it’s a mouthful, but for now, it’s first to relieve Vanessa’s anger.
And Vanessa, who belongs to the weak-minded side, can see that her ears are prickling, as if that kind of flattery worked.
“Shall we go on a date with the two of us on the weekend? I heard that a nice restaurant opened recently.”
“…Okay. I’ll see you this time.”
Vanessa said that with an extremely elated look on her face.
“If you’re uncomfortable watching, why don’t you go up first?”
“Is that okay? You don’t know what would happen without me.”
“I’m not the kind of guy who gets beaten up anywhere.”
As I said that, I made a pose emphasizing the muscles in my forearm, and Vanessa nodded his head approvingly.
“Then I’ll wait for you on the first floor.”
After I said yes, I saw her off as she ascended to the ground.
And again single.
“Shall we start.”
I rubbed my hands together and infused a large amount of mana into the magic formula I had just made.
***
It was about 5 minutes after the hero Sophia opened her eyes.
“It’s okay…Here it is.”
She blinked her eyes with her dazed face, as if her memory just before she was hypnotized had disappeared.
From my point of view, I’m honestly grateful.
It would be embarrassing if he noticed that he was hypnotized and made a fuss.
“Are you awake?”
I said that with my hands behind my back as if nothing had happened.
Then, as if belatedly realizing my existence, Sofia glared at me with open eyes.
However, perhaps because of the effect of the spell performed earlier, a lot of poison was drained from his eyes.
According to my hint, it must be because hostility towards me has turned into liking.
She asked.
“How stunned have I been?”
“About 5 minutes? … But it’s a bit short? How old are you?”
Sophia, tied to her bed, replied with a puzzled look on her face.
“S-I’m twenty years old…”
“Mr. Hak, a guy with no blood on his head is speaking disrespectfully to adults.”
When I naturally showed off the old groove, the shoulders of the warrior who was caught up in it shrank.
But she still protested in a timid voice, as if she hadn’t given up.
“But me and you are enemies, yo.”
“Does your home tutor teach you that it’s okay to speak meanly if you’re an enemy?”
“No, it’s not like that…”
“Isn’t it true that you respect your opponent, even if it’s your enemy?”
When I applied my invincible logic, Sophia shut her mouth.
It seems that he realized belatedly that the hero is unconditionally at a disadvantage in a moral debate.
I looked at the warrior with my arms crossed and asked.
“First of all, do you know what your current situation is?”
Then Sophia nodded her face with her firm expression.
“No matter how many times I persuade you, my answer is the same. I have no intention of being on the side of the demons, so grill or boil, whatever you want.”
I corrected Sophia’s misunderstanding.
“No, no, I didn’t specifically ask you to be on the side of the demons. I just asked you to be on my side.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“I am a body bound by a contract with the demon lord. I received a promise to give you half of this world if I succeed in conquering the world. So if you help me, in the end I will be working for humans.”
“It’s sophistry.”
“But is it true that there is no better alternative than that? Do you think there is hope for the current Kingdom of Oz? I don’t know if Prince Tippetarius could have kept the throne, but since he was deposed, it wouldn’t be strange if Oz collapsed soon. It became. If the Demon King’s Army had not ruled instead under the name of the Government General, a rebellion would have erupted long ago and the country would have been torn apart.”
“In other words, are you going to claim that you were a necessary evil?”
“From the beginning, there is no good or evil in this world. That’s just the bullshit of the rulers.”
I only work for myself
The basic tone has not changed from beginning to end.
“Have you ever thought about why demons and humans are at odds? And even if the hero kills the demon king, and the demon king kills the hero, new successors keep appearing?”
There are demon kings who lived a long life while killing the warriors who came to them over and over again, and there are demon kings who were assassinated within a year of ascending the throne.
And if you think about it in reverse, it will be the same for the warrior.
“From the beginning, the positions of the Demon King and the Hero were nothing more than chess pieces for the goddesses. And at least the current Demon King, Nero Zoroaster, wants to end this evil custom and evil that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Are you going to pretend it’s justice? It’s just blind fanaticism.”
Sophia said in a trembling voice.
“That word is blasphemy.”
I smiled when I heard that.
“If believing unconditionally is faith no matter what you do above, fuck that. A goddess so great kills a warrior with her own hands?”
“Yes? What is that…”
I told her the truth about her.
“The former hero, Artorius, it was the Goddess of Courage who ended his life.”
If he was alive, it would interfere with the birth of a new hero.
***
When she heard that the hero from the past had been killed by the goddess, her expression went into a state of bewilderment.
Was this statement that shocking?
If you’re like me, you wouldn’t believe what your enemies say, but Sophia was far more naive than I thought she was.
Although it sounds like you don’t know the world.
I asked because I was worried.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Sophia lifted her head in surprise and said with her teary face.
“I don’t believe anything you say.”
… For someone who doesn’t believe it, I think it’s pretty shocking.
I said scratching my head.
“Well, it’s up to you whether you believe it or not. I just wanted to let you know that just because you’re a goddess doesn’t mean you’re right as much as you think.”
Still, it seemed that the wariness towards me had been considerably relaxed.
It is rewarding to have a conversation that is not very nutritious.
Anyway, we should continue our interrogation.
“The former Earl of Glorious, who handed down the family to you, what is the identity of that person?”
“I can’t tell.”
“Then why did you try to steal the trinket from my house?”
“I can’t even tell you that.”
“…If you keep coming out so uncooperative, I won’t stand still.”
Sophia said with a haughty expression.
“I have developed a tolerance for pain long ago. Patrasche, you will never hear a single word of truth from my mouth.”
“What if it’s not painful?”
“Yes?”
“You don’t think there’s only one way to torture the world, right?”
Saying that, I strode towards Sophia.
She shouted in bewilderment as she approached the obvious distance.
“What, what are you trying to do!”
I said, pressing her navel with my index finger.
“Sensitivity 3000 times.”
That moment,
“Ahhhhh”
With the sweet voice she had heard for the first time, the leather pants she was wearing were wet.
