Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

85-Episode 4 Of Course, The Death Penalty

The place where I was taken by the security forces was the castle of the lord who rules this city.

I've been using white marble, which is rare in this area, and gold and silver jewels are shining here and there.

It's a gorgeous and opulent display of one's power.

Upon entering the castle, I was taken into a small windowless room.

The reason why the freedom of my arms and legs are not taken away is probably because I'm proud that I can't do anything at the level of "unemployed".

''Wait here until you're ready.

A respectable bearded man, who seems to be the leader of the unit, announces in an intimidating voice, ''You will now receive a ruling from your lord.

''You will now be subjected to an adjudication by your lord.

I see.

You don't know this, but the only first class lord in the city is the Magnate. You should know that there is no point in getting upset. Because the skills of the Grand Lords are irreversible to anyone.

"Hmm.

Perhaps, as the name suggests, it's a skill that forces an opponent to carry out an order.

No wonder the majority of people in this city are of a lower grade, and despite the fact that they are unfairly discriminated against, no one is trying to rectify that.

So, if they have such skills, they can't revolt.

By the way, I was the only one taken away, and the owner's daughter, who was accused of stepping on my shoes, was not looked at.

The man, who said he was of the second class, only cursed and ridiculed me, and I guess he forgot about the girl after being punched in the face.

A short time later, I was moved through the castle again.

I came to a luxurious room.

At the back of the room, I sat on a throne-like chair.

The man sitting on a throne-like chair was around forty.

He was not very tall.

But because of his wide width, he is quite a big man.

His abdomen is unusually large around his belly, and his neck is barely visible due to his terrible flab.

In short, he was insanely fat.

But he has no intention of losing weight, and on the pedestal beside the chair is a plate with a large amount of fruit and meat on it.

He didn't look at me as I entered the room, and was devouring the meat on the bone with gusto.

I handed the finished bones to a beautiful woman nearby and she turned to me, licking her greasy fingers with her tongue.

Then, for the first time, the security forces open their mouths.

My lord. We have brought this man in.

Mm, thank you.

The lord nodded pompously and looked down at me and sniffed.

''Hm. Sixth grade, huh? Death penalty, of course. The best way to show the public what happens when they disobey my laws is to let them know as much as possible. Well let's wrap the rope around his leg and have the horses pull him. Let the bodies sit in the square for a while and let the birds eat them.

Apparently, he was going to be executed for that one.

''Hahahaha!?I don't believe it!?Now you know what would happen if you harmed me in the second grade!

I hear laughter from behind me.

I glanced back and saw that man, who looked sincerely happy.

He seemed to have come to see the ruling.

''Master-sama, are you perhaps planning to accept it quietly?''

No way.

Of course.

Hey, why do you look so sorry?

I turned on my heel, tightening my hold on Matty's neck.

'They also say to follow the township, and if it's the rule of this city, I thought I'd go along with it for a change, so here we are, but it was still a trial I didn't have to follow. I'm sorry, but I have to go home.

The security forces will soon be surrounding me.

''You, you're trying to defy my lord's ruling!

Of course I will, though?

'Hahahaha!?Apparently, that's just too stupid to be true!?You have no job, so what can you do??The members of the security forces are all third grade, combat-type [senior positions]!

I used my shrink ray to get past their security net.

...what?

He's not here...?

He was stunned by the sudden disappearance of the figure.

''Ha!?There she is!?There!

How the hell did you do that?

By the time he noticed us, I was already near the exit of the room.

''Stop...!

Then the lord's "mighty words" echoed.

My body went rigid.

It seems that he has been using .

"You are not to be bound...!

In response to the words that followed, my body once again moved on its own against my will.

I went back to the security forces by myself.

''I see, this is certainly irresistible.

It's even more compulsive than I thought it would be.

I try to resist, but it's as if even that will has been taken away from me, and I can't muster up the energy to resist in the first place.

But how about this?

I switched personalities.

'Bugger?'

I kick one of the troopers who approached to restrain me.

'Huh??Silly me. Why aren't my lord's orders working!

And I thought this man was unemployed!?What was that kick?!

Hmm.

It seems that changing one's personality allows one to escape the compulsion of Absolute Command.

Stop the resistance...!

.........

The lord's flies in again.

He quickly switched personalities again, but there were a limited number of them.

''Do you want to take down the lords first?''

I kicked the ground.

A mimicry of the top skill of the Shrinkage, Divine Footpath, but right in front of my lord.

"What?

To the other party, it might have looked like I had jumped through space.

I slammed my fist into the thick belly of the lord who was exposing his dumb face.

''Hidebu!
