Chapter 6 The Disappointing Hero [Intimidates]
When Kunimitsu-kun said, "I'm sorry, so please forgive me!" trying to brush off the situation. I decided to use my skills.
But lucky for you, Kunimitsu-kun, I'm a very peaceful person. So, out of all the skills I have, I'll use the most peaceful one for you!
──The skill [Intimidation].
With a sound like a shiver, Kunimitsu-kun, who had been dissatisfied, straightened up with a twitch.
[Intimidation] is a skill to avoid unnecessary battles. When used, it makes weaker monsters understand the "difference in status" and prevents them from attacking me.
In this otherworldly setting, it's a very, very peaceful skill to avoid unnecessary battles on the way.
Well, probably every creature in this world would avoid fighting with me right now, right?
Well, with this, it's unlikely that Kunimitsu-kun will get angry and come at me with a punch or anything like that.
Still, I lift the [Intimidation] immediately. After all, if I intimidate him for too long, he might run away, and if he can't escape, his mind might break.
"Well, I would have trouble with sudden prostrations! Just sit next to me for now."
"Umm... okay."
Kunimitsu-kun sits next to me, trembling slightly. Even after sitting down, it seems like his legs continue to shake.
"See, you should sit properly. Your legs are numb, aren't they?"
"Y-Yes, hahaha, that's strange."
Hehehe, preparation complete. Now, I'll make him think and bind him in return.
After Kunimitsu-kun sits next to me, I intentionally remain silent for a while. Silence puts pressure on the other person. In fact, Kunimitsu-kun seems uncomfortable, fidgeting around. But it's about time.
After three minutes of silence, I spoke.
"So?"
"Um, well..."
It's troubling, right? Even if I suddenly ask "So?"! I understand, that's the intention.
This is just a jab to advance the upcoming conversation to my advantage.
"I mean, you understand, right?"
"Um, well..."
There's no way you understand! This silence is a ritual for me to say things that you can't ignore! Just by inserting this silence, Kunimitsu-kun will cling to my words from now on, hehehe!
"I mean, why do you provoke others?"
"Oh, well..."
Kunimitsu-kun seemed to be thinking about something, but whether he had organized his thoughts or not, he began to explain.
"Well, I... "
Alright, here it is!
"Why do you keep provoking various people on your account? If you're around the same age, surely you understand that it's not good, right?"
"Oh, um...yes..."
I intentionally divert the conversation to reset Kunimitsu-kun's thoughts. Even though he had organized his thoughts, the topic has changed a bit, hasn't it? Hehehe, think about it again.
Kunimitsu-kun remained silent for a while, but it seems like he has gathered his thoughts once again.
"Well...sorry for provoking you."
Heh, I thought so. In response to Kunimitsu-kun's words, I placed my hand on his shoulder and said,
"You were able to say it after all."
Kunimitsu-kun flinched for a moment at my action. But he immediately burst into laughter.
"No, saying that is more like when you say 'Damn, this sucks.'"
"Yeah, you're right. Hahaha."
"Hahahahaha."
We continued to laugh together in the park at night. And then, I stopped laughing abruptly.
"Why are you acting like you've been forgiven? And I didn't ask you to apologize, did I? Why did you provoke people? Do you understand the meaning of the question?"
"...I'm sorry."
"Geez! Even at your age, you don't understand such things! Oh well, never mind. Well then..."
You usually talk down to others with a weird attitude, right? How about that? It's coming right back at you.
Now, let's start the next strategy!
I took out a notebook and writing utensils from my bag and handed them to Kunimitsu-kun.
"Um, what is this...?"
Without immediately answering, I showed Kunimitsu-kun the illustration he had sent me as a reply just now.
"In this illustration, you were pointing out something about the drawing, right? Can you show me an example?"
"..."
"Come on, give it a try."
"Well, I can't really draw or anything..."
"..."
Ignoring his excuses, I remained silent. I stayed quiet at first to make it clear that this silence would continue unless he drew something.
"..."
"..."
"Okay, I'll draw."
Unable to withstand the silence, Kunimitsu-kun gave up resisting and started drawing. I can't really say anything about others, but to be honest, he's really bad at it.
After about 10 minutes, he finished creating something that didn't resemble a character at all.
"Is it done?"
"Yes, well..."
"Alright, take a picture of it and upload it."
"Huh...?"
"Reply with 'Look, I drew a sample for you! Use it as a reference!' and attach the picture."
"Um, please spare me from that..."
“Do you dislike it?”
"Uh, well, it's not that I dislike it..."
Well, we could go with the silent treatment again here, but let's move on quickly.
Once again, I briefly used the [Intimidation] skill.
In an instant, sweat appeared on Kunimitsu-kun's face, and fear flickered in his expression.
However, since the [Intimidation] was only for a moment, he didn't run away.
"Oh, don't forget to comment 'Look, I'll show you an example! Take it as a reference!' okay?"
"Yes, sir!"
Kunimitsu-kun hurriedly took a photo of the drawing and uploaded it to social media.
After a while, when I checked my smartphone, I saw that people had started replying to Kunimitsu-kun's uploaded drawing.
"This guy was saying something about his sketch with this?"
"I've never seen someone worse than me."
"He's asking us to take this as a reference? His mental strength is off the charts."
"This looks like the one my dog left behind during our morning walk."
↓
"LMAO"
↓
"Just for shit?"
↓
"That's hilarious"
↓
"Can we please use 'stinky' instead?"
↓
"LOL"
Well, well, things are getting lively, aren't they?
"Congratulations, Kunimitsu-kun! Everyone is delighted to see your artwork! It's been a while since you made people feel this happy, right?"
I said, 'Congratulations!' as I tried to express my feelings to Kunimitsu-kun. But of course, he didn't seem too happy about it. Well, I guess that's how it is, haha!
"..."
"Huh? Do you have something to complain about?"
"Oh, no... um..."
"Well then, how about thanking me?"
"Huh?"
"Thanks to my suggestion, Kunimitsu-kun was able to entertain people, right? So, show your gratitude."
"Thank you very much, Hey Hey ho-san."
"Huh?"
When I asked again, Kunimitsu-kun hurriedly explained.
"Well, my account name is 'Sun Tzu's Hey Hey Ho,' so I call you Hey Hey ho-san."
"Well, even though we're not close, do you normally call someone by their username? Don't you have any common sense? Come on, let's start over."
Seriously, why do I have to explain everything?"
Well, I have completely put aside the fact that I call him "Kunimitsu-kun"! Hahaha!
"Thank you very much, Sonoko-san."
"It's okay, Kunimitsu-kun♪"
Hey hey, if you're going to apologize and lie about something you didn't even think about, at least be grateful to me for the same lie!
Gahahaha!
