Evade The Hero and Flee! - Chapter 270
Chapter 270
- It’s best to start by drawing bigger picture (3)
I poke the cheek of the hero lying down like he’s dead.
No reaction.
“Is he really dead?”
“Huh? Goddess Ar says, there is no death in my gestures!”
“Is that so?”
I didn’t have the confidence to say ‘You’re not a goddess but an evil god!’ in the elf forest, so I just affirmed her.
“Where…”
I grab the blindfold over the hero’s eyes and feel around.
According to the crazy elf, it was made with special magic that even dragons can’t easily untie, but,
“It’s easy to untie.”
“Because I’m the master.”
It seemed like people not bound by the laws of this world were useless. Which meant that if I was useless to me, I was useless to the Demon King as well.
“But he was useful to the hero, right?”
“That’s right.”
It was made to seal the Demon King but didn’t work, so use it on the hero!
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“It means reuse.”
I couldn’t catch the Demon King but I could catch the hero and make him fight the Demon King.
Between the untied blindfold, tightly shut eyes appear.
“First, lie him down properly…”
I straighten him and connect the shackles and chains received from the elves.
After that, I hammer the peg attached to the chains firmly into the ground.
“The ground is too weak…”
“Can’t be helped since it’s a forest.”
This kind of soft, spongy ground is only good for pitching tents in the military. The pegs go in easily but that also makes them easy to pull out, making them hard to secure.
“We could just pull them out right?”
“No. We have to use them for psychological pressure.”
And I can’t be bothered to pull them out.
“Alright, shall we wake him up then?”
I hand the magic tool to the metal bat and make her use it.
Like me, she’s exempt from the rules of this world as a god so she can still use tools to work miracles with her remaining divinity.
Tools working miracles. It’s too good a word for it.
“I’m feeling kind of bad?”
“It’s just your feelings.”
The metal bat notices faster than anyone when I badmouth myself so I hand the used magic tool back to her.
“Wake up, oh hero.”
Like a scene I saw often in my past life, I shoot the magic tool emitting light into the hero’s eyes.
“No reaction?”
“Wake up, oh hero. Or the metal bat will hit you.”
“Hiccup!”
Like someone tormented by a nightmare, the hero thrashes around at the metal bat’s words.
The gag in his mouth stops him from speaking but I can tell he’s desperately saying something from the drool escaping from the sides.
“Alright, time to get up.”
After around 3 minutes, the hero opens his eyes.
“Mm! Mmm!”
Lying on the ground, the hero looks up at me and the metal bat with terrified eyes.
“Quiet.”
“Mmm!”
What’s the point of making a fuss when he can’t do anything like that? And he’s not stupid either, quite smart in fact. I wouldn’t think someone like him would do something so foolish.
He must have been very surprised. Then as his instructor, I should calm him down.
“Metal bat, take position.”
“Yes!”
I have the metal bat kneel by the struggling hero’s stomach and raise both his hands up high.
“If you keep that up, these will slam down with all their might, got it?”
Boom!
Making a sound effect with my mouth, I point at the hero’s stomach.
“Mm…!”
His eyes shake even more fearfully than before.
“If you understand, blink twice. Go.”
Blink, blink.
The hero blinks twice very quickly.
I give the obedient hero a satisfied smile.
“Good. Don’t make me slam these down.”
“Mm…!”
The hero shakes his head vigorously in his lying position. This must be him ready to negotiate.
“To me it looks like a victim being threatened?”
“A negotiation is a negotiation.”
“A negotiation where you act according to what the master says?”
“That’s a threat.”
Is that so? Then let’s call it a threat.
“From now on, listen well to what I say, and you can do as you wish.”
“Mm?”
I take out a small piece of paper from my clothes.
“You know what this is right?”
A contract imbued with the authority of the Creator.
A contract that even I, free from the rules of this world, could make.
“Where do you keep getting those from?”
“There’s almost none left.”
“So you’re not completely out…”
I pocketed one while playing the Demon King of the demon continent so I remember I had around two left.
“Alright, you’re going to make a contract with me now.”
“Mmmmm!”
“Yes, you understand right? I’ll write down the contents now so watch with your eyes.”
“Master? The hero is lying down so he can’t see the contract though?”
“That’s his problem.”
I had no intention to lie. So there’s no need to doubt me.
“If it’s the master’s words, we can believe it right?”
“That’s right.”
I genuinely don’t plan on lying.
“Since the outcome has already been decided anyway.”
“Ah! So there’s no need to scam him?”
“That’s right.”
“Mmmmmmm!”
I hear intense protests but they quiet down with a light tap of my hand.
“No more. You understand right?”
“Mm…”
The metal bat’s hands hover 1 centimeter above the hero’s stomach.
“You got it?”
“Mm mm.”
“First, you have to fight against those who are evil. I’m talking about guys who are commonly called the evil god army of the demon king.”
This is something an ordinary hero should do, but since he’s someone who ran away from even that, I had to write it down to make sure.
“Second, you need to move according to my plan from now on. Of course, it’s not a perfect restraint. You’ll be free after catching the Demon King.”
Ah, just in case, I wrote down that it’s an exception if he ends up chasing me.
With this, even if the hero gets caught, I can use him in reverse.
“Third, and this is the most important… “
Tap.
I put down my pen for a moment and met the eyes of the hero.
“Can you do it?”
“Huh?”
“Yes. I guess you can do it.”
“He didn’t even say anything though?”
“Even without speaking, I can tell. That’s the relationship between master and disciple.”
And this guy had been educated by an expert in that field for quite some time.
“To the master?”
“No. That area is a field I cannot teach.”
During my time as an instructor when I did my best to teach my disciple all the skills, there was one skill I could not teach.
It was a skill with a higher mission success rate than all the skills I taught, and even if you combined all the survival skills I taught, they could not defeat this skill.
“What is it?”
“Huh?”
The hero and the metal bat seemed curious about the skill I was talking about.
Since it was rare for me to praise something so highly.
“The name of that skill is Pretty Boy Scheme.”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Ignoring the dumbfounded hero and the metal bat, I wrote down the third condition in the contract scroll.
“Hero, seduce some high elf.”
With your face.
#3 Their Circumstances: Circumstances of A Certain Hero
“Ugh…..”
I’m still stretching my numb wrists and ankles.
Although the elves firmly ignored my words, with just one word from Instructor, they removed all the restraints they put on me.
“Just what was he thinking….”
He was still someone I could not understand what he was thinking.
“Can I do it?”
My opponent was none other than someone who had fallen for Instructor. A being emitting a mystical aura.
From my perspective, having met opponents who had fallen for Instructor several times at close range, I couldn’t help but feel afraid.
“She might be of the same ethnicity as Her Highness the Princess and her senior.”
Just thinking about it, cold sweat poured down my back like a waterfall.
Among the people I’ve seen in my life, it meant she could be on par with the 2nd highest rank and the same level.
By the way, 1st place was Instructor and the metal bat, 3rd place was the Demon King.
Yes. Even the Demon King who might destroy the world had to yield to existences like Her Highness the Princess and her senior!
And now the person I have to seduce might be on par with people like that!
“Will she snap….?”
Of course she won’t be able to snap.
No one knew the power of the Contract Scroll better than me.
Because I had seen one of my colleagues who had been with me for quite a long time make a contract with the fire giant apostle of the evil god, Surtur, through the Contract Scroll.
What happened to Surtur after stamping his fingerprint on a contract similar to a slave contract?
He became a slave who had to do everything Sia told him to.
“The only answer is to quickly defeat the Demon King….”
Even the Demon King, whose reputation spreads throughout the world, was a formidable guy.
The current Demon King possessed power that was incomparable to the Demon Kings of the past.
A Demon King who could create Demon Kings.
Just the evil god army alone was a tough opponent, but creating another Demon King on top of that….
And there could be even more.
“Have to deal with this quickly.”
The more Demon Kings there were, the less chance I had of winning, and the less chance I had of escaping from Instructor’s clutches.
So I had to fight the Demon King as soon as possible, and to do that….
“Sigh…. I have to use the Pretty Boy Scheme, right?”
When a woman does it, it’s called Pretty Girl Scheme, when a man does it, it’s called Pretty Boy Scheme.
It was a method that humans had favored since ancient times to lure high-ranking enemies using beautiful, lovely, handsome people.
And I had learned that skill from an expert before.
“Can’t believe I’m using a skill I learned from a substitute instructor like this….”
Senior Rain, who beat us with a wooden bat.
When that senior was teaching us, we certainly learned not only combat skills but also Pretty Girl Scheme and Pretty Boy Scheme.
He clearly said it was what the Instructor had instructed.
The substitute instructor summarized the Pretty Girl Scheme and Pretty Boy Scheme like this.
‘Instructor said that even if the opponent is an enemy, if they are born beautiful, they seem to have some kind of story, and even someone who tried to kill me, if they are handsome, I feel like I want to spare their life. And with a very high probability, they will listen to your story and feel sympathy, and in some cases, even make someone who used to be an enemy their comrade.’
Although he said it was something he had heard from the Instructor as well, he later proved Instructor’s story to be true when he got caught by the daughter of a marquis who had fallen for him.
First, let’s confirm.
‘The Pretty Girl and Pretty Boy Schemes need the biggest preparation item. Just having this means you’ve already half-learned the skill.’
That is,
‘Face. Being pretty and handsome is enough.’
I look at my face in the mirror.
Not because it’s my face, but it was truly a very handsome face.
First, I’ve definitely prepared the item.
‘After that, what you need is contact. First, you have to meet them. Meet! Keep meeting!’
“Um…”
Thanks to Instructor’s arrangement, I was able to meet the high elf. A being exuding mystical energy.
“Why do you look like that, hero? His Highness the Prince said there was important news to discuss….”
Alright, now the preparation phase is over. Next is this.
‘Courage. You need the courage to move forward. To get the other party to show favor, I must first show my favor.’
He said there were two ways to do that.
One is to slowly build a connection and check the other’s feelings.
But since what Instructor wants is for me to quickly seduce the high elf, I had to use the second method.
And that second method is,
“I fell in love at first sight! Won’t you be my lover?”
Looking at me boldly shouting, the high elf gave me a grin.
“No thanks? I only have the Prince for me. Go away, that’s annoying.”
Ah…. what did the substitute instructor say to do in this case?
‘Oh, by the way, if you fail with the second method, just give up. It’ll be easier.’
Even the specialist in face schemes acknowledged by Instructor said to beat it in this situation, and yet I was now tasked with seducing this high elf.
