2nd Round Villain

30 – Hypnosis is the realm of manipulation and suggestion.

my sister, Adela.

A pitiful and upright demon who is one of the strongest in this vast world of demons and does not hesitate to give her life for me.

Adela suffered from an accident as a child and her intelligence was reduced. Instead, his father’s talent is inherited intact, and he is great. To the extent that he trained alone in the rugged demon forest.

Of course, I’m also going to go into the forest, but I’m going to know where it’s dangerous and what’s living there. Adela is a case of ignoring such things and piercing them all by force alone. There is no comparison.

There is an age difference of about a thousand years between my sister and I, but that’s a minor detail.

Anyway, my sister Adela, who is so great, is now surprisingly completely defenseless. To the point where I couldn’t block or avoid even if I attacked. Unless it’s a cross, no matter how hard I hit it, I can’t scratch it.

“Since when has Adela been like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Exactly how many hours ago was it in this state?”

“that is… Three to three and a half hours ago… .”

“is it so? you’re close.”

I used the magical power of Horus’ egg and my illusionist skills to lock Adela’s head, but this is temporary. The energy and blood in my body wasn’t completely open to the veins, but if I could keep it closed forever, I would be the demon king.

I don’t want to do that to lovely Adela.

“Mom, go back like this. And behave as usual. Report Leonard missing in about three days. Now that my aunt’s new investment is me, you’d better listen to me if you can.”

“Ah, I see. Then don’t go.”

“Yes, yes, will you take care of me in the future?”

“… … Me too, don’t ask me well.”

“Kick-kick-.”

The mother-in-law hesitated, got herself together, and left the room. After giggling as if I wanted to hear it, I stood in front of Adela.

The remaining time… 10 minutes. No, it’s about 9 minutes because I just used time.

good night. The show is already over, but the right tension makes life efficient. Like a kid who rushes homework when a homework test approaches, or like a student who hastily smokes a textbook after playing around until the day before the test, time limits make me feel up to speed.

He took out a black rosary from his pocket. As I expected, this rosary will not respond to Adela.

Even though she was born as a demon, she is very kind. He’s not a hero who can’t stand injustice, but he protects his surroundings and loves his family. Adela is such a demon.

Cut-.

Oh, and my expectations are never wrong. The black rosary only trembled in front of Adela, but did not emit the fire of purification like it did in front of Letavis. It purrs like a cat hissing, but that’s a very minor thing.

Wait, so the cross didn’t respond to me, was it actually because I was nice? Is it because I have such a good personality that I don’t feel rejected at all? There is a point. Actually, my heart is very, very soft, and my heart is as noble as that of a saint.

Holding the string with two fingers, he raised the cross to Adela’s eyes in a dazed state. Because of my short stature compared to her, I had to put in a lot of effort to stand on tiptoe.

Anyway, after pushing the cross in like that, I started to rock it gently from side to side.

“Adela, look at the cross. It ticks and shakes softly, right? You get on that beat.”

Hypnosis is the realm of manipulation and suggestion. Just like inviting someone into a room to sit on a chair, or offering water to a thirsty friend and suggesting that they drink, hypnosis is completed with an appropriate balance of manipulation and suggestion.

someone said We live in a world of manipulation. All the conversations and non-verbal expressions we do in our daily lives are all acts of manipulating others.

Hypnosis is not difficult. Just like a kidnapper who seduces children by showing them candy, all you have to do is seduce the other person to where you want, whether it’s a human or a demon.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

The important thing is consistency. Adela must be fully adapted to the rhythm of the cross. from the easy one at first. Although Horus’ eggs were changed to make him fall into hypnosis, in order to control a strong man like Adela, he had to pay attention to every little thing.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

“one two. one two. That’s right, I like the beat now.”

Dark eyes follow the cross and wander back and forth. I looked at it and smiled.

Soon after, the sparrow began to whisper softly and gracefully.

“There is a lake. It is such a huge and deep lake that you will never come out again if you fall into it.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

“Adela is standing in front of that lake. I have something in my hand that I want to throw away, but I am contemplating whether I should really throw it away.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

“There is a stone in Adela’s grasp. It is a stone that makes Adela worry. Because, the stone is not an ordinary stone.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

“The stone has ‘memory’ written on it. It is a stone that contains memories from the dinner the previous night to what happened when I entered my brother Oscar’s room. How about it, don’t you want to throw it away right away?”

“… … .”

“Don’t you want to throw, throw away, right now? Really, Roy?”

“… … .”

Hey, this is a bit dangerous. it doesn’t shake Shall I touch your feelings?

“Do you remember?”

nod-.

“What do you remember? Can you tell me?”

In response to my question in a sweet voice, Adela spoke in a dry voice like the sound of a machine.

“For sure… at dinner… You were… little mother… Oscar’s… in the closet… You’re stuck… .”

“After that? What happened?”

“The door… gone… Head… getting blank… mind… it’s cloudy… greatly… weird… .”

“Until there, you can stop talking, Adela. From now on, we will do the treatment that makes you feel comfortable.”

“Getting comfortable… therapy… ?”

“Yes, to remove the disease in Adela’s heart. You feel comfortable when you get sick, right? You can think of that.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

Fortunately, low-intelligence individuals are prone to hypnosis. Of course, my hypnotism is at a level where even dragons stick out their tongues, but I realized this after trying to hypnotize the emperor of the empire and failing for the first time.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

“Adela, how do you feel when you recall your memories? Be honest about how you feel.”

“uh… I’m afraid… scary… creepy… chilly… I feel like that… .”

“Right? Is it very unpleasant? It’s like going through endless darkness alone, doesn’t it?”

“Yes… ? I heard and saw… It seems so… but… .”

“You have to throw away the things you don’t like. Adela, it’s simple. Kick the stone in your hand high. Then, throw it into the lake. Then you can be comfortable.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

The lake is the abyss of memory. Just as we cannot retain the memories of our birth, an abyss that cannot arise even if we try to recall it. There, Adela’s recent memories are asked.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

Adela raised her arm impassively. Her hand seemed to be holding something invisible.

“Think of shooting a bow, cross your arms behind you. You can then throw as hard as you can. Anywhere on the lake. The lake is so wide that if you throw it anywhere, it will hit the lake unconditionally.”

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

Gradually, my arms start to ache. I hurriedly said before my arm muscles hurt.

“Throw it. Adela’s painful memories. Right Now.”

Whoo-!

Arms holding nothing stir the air. So fierce that you can feel the cool breeze. While under illusion, it shows how much Adela was terrified in mysterious phenomena.

“Fondang-.”

The flying stones fall into the lake. The stone sinks slowly into deep, deep water.

“The heart does not betray Adela. Because you know the inner side of Adela best. Just now, Adela did what she most wants to do.”

“uh… .”

Due to buoyancy, the stone does not descend quickly. But it goes down endlessly. until you reach the bottom.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

Gee, time is almost up. When will you reach the bottom? Adela, who has lived for a thousand years, has a very deep abyss of memory.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

It seems that it will not be easy to find the time. I let go of the hand shaking the cross, but with only my foot, I closed the door of the closet that was open. It’s a move that requires great flexibility, but for a nine-year-old me, it doesn’t matter at all.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop-.

As a rule of thumb, the remaining time is approximately 30 seconds. When Adela’s mind returns to its original state, the hypnosis is immediately released. The clothes I’m wearing right now are soaked in Letavis’ blood, so I have to seek numbers somehow.

“… … Tuk- Just now, a stone touched the bottom of the lake. Now the stone will never rise again.”

“… .”

no answer is heard There is no time to worry.

I hurriedly took up the cross. The hypnosis is over, and Adela is as dazed as she was when I first entered the room.

Take off the clothes you were wearing. Thanks to the blood drying on the way back from the cliffs of Endros, the floor was soaked in blood, fortunately, no catastrophe happened.

The clothes were roughly crumpled and tucked deep under the bed. The gloves were also tucked in together. After that, after turning off the lights in the room, I naturally lifted the blanket and lay down on the bed. I covered my body that suffered tonight with a soft blanket.

Just like that, 30 seconds passed.

“… … hmm?”

I heard Adela’s voice. In that questioning voice, unlike before, there was a liveliness in it.

“here is… Where are you? Is it Oscar’s room? ? Ugh, the head… .”

Adela staggers. She put a hand on her forehead and rewinded the memory. I’m not sure if it really was, but it was the atmosphere through the twilight darkness.

“I… why are you here… .”

OK, that’s it. It’s my turn.

“Who, who? Could it be that you are Sister Adela?”

“… Oscar? Are you awake?”

“I just heard my sister’s voice… Sister, what are you doing in my room… ?”

I muffled my voice as much as I could and asked like someone who had just woken up.

I just woke up and am in a drowsy state. Be fully aware.

“Oscar, why am I here? Do you know anything? Ugh, my head hurts like it was about to split.”

“Well, okay? I’m not feeling well, so I’ve been sleeping since evening, and I just woke up hearing my sister’s voice… .”

“I’m sick… ? Could it be that the aftermath of the head injury still lingers? Oh no, this is not the time to get lost in headaches. Wait a minute. I will bring medicine for you soon.”

“uh… Hey, what about the medicine? I prefer elixirs to medicines… .”

“My brother is sick, but I can’t be alone. I’ll nurse you through the night tonight. Oscar, rest in peace.”

“… yes?”

“Since you were injured by my mistake, I will never sit idly by. Don’t go.”

After saying that, Adela rushed out of the room. After a while, she came in with a whole bunch of medicinal herbs in her hand.

that… sister? I’ve been fighting all night… ? It’s too much work with a nine-year-old body, so I really need to sleep now… ?
