Chapter 4 - Curious Monster Magistrate

"I'll make you agree right away!"

"Isn't that the same as forcing...!?"

Goddess wants to judge me, I don't know what it means at all? I think I have a bad feeling.

"You will soon know what the punishment is, [Summon: Magistrate]"

A purple circle with a magical symbol appeared suddenly right in front of the goddess, slowly the magic circle emitted a dazzling light and a terrifying devil laugh, after which came out a skeleton figure, carrying a double black scythe that formed a cross.

"Scary....?"

Oi is this execution? I think so, considering the one she summoned was similar to the grim reaper, it was really scary.

It's just that his name isn't Grimreaper, but Magistrate....

'Bledar!'

W-what's that sound? my eyes bulged when I looked back and saw an iron bar in the shape of a cross, and each cross had some kind of iron shackle that was open and waiting for people to be locked in those shackles.

"Goddess you're kidding right?"

"Because you always procrastinate, just so you know, there's still a lot of work for me, but you took this trivial task for so long... so I'll give you a severe punishment!"

Seriously, looks like a serious goddess, especially if you look at this Magistrate, really scary, he really does resemble a Grimreaper… except he robe is purple.

The Magistrate's eyes flashed red, then moved the double-bladed scythe and made an action as if it was going to attack me.

"What goddess am I going to kill?"

The Goddess didn't say a word. Unknowingly the Magistrate had approached me while placing the two-bladed scythe between my neck, like carrying scissors face down.

I was really scared, and felt like crying, only it was too late. The Magistrate managed to execute me with a neck clip.

It's just that I don't feel any pain after being cut by him, my neck doesn't bleed at all, but it's just that my eyes are getting dimmer, my head is spinning like I feel a shock under my feet.

It's weird what he did to me, even I didn't bleed at all?

After that I finally stumbled backwards and fell unconscious.

— — —

"The Magistrate knows what you have to do, I will leave first because I have important information."

The Magistrate nodded without saying a word.

"Good, keep an eye on this young man, I will be right back… [Teleport]"

The Goddess instantly became a particle and then disappeared where she was headed.

"Looks like I have to keep an eye on this young man? hm... put him here first...."

The Magistrate placed Haruto's body on the iron rod, while attaching the shackles one by one to Haruto's hands and feet and forming the same cross as the iron rod.

'Plaque!'

The Magistrate slapped Haruto on the cheek, but there was no reaction at all, so the Magistrate chose to wake Haruto up by hitting Haruto hard on the stomach.

— — —

"Ouch!"

My stomach felt like it was hit, even my whole body felt numb, from my hands that were frozen like ice, to my legs that were stuck like a trapped mouse.

"W-what's going on, I-I'm trapped in this iron rod?! even where is the goddess....?!"

The Magistrate was silent, I forgot that he was just a monster summoned by the goddess. But it turns out I was wrong, The Magistrate can talk like a human.

"Hey young man, what are you doing, messing things up."

"You can talk!?"

"You think I'm just a snot-level summoning monster? now answer me, why are you messing things up?"

"W-what do you mean, I messed everything up?"

"You idiot! just so you know, the goddess has a lot to do, but you always procrastinate not choosing [Mesmerize] when the goddess' choice is right for you."

Even this monster told me to choose [Mesmerize] what's the use of [Mesmerize] isn't that a weak power, it can only be used if our opponent is of the opposite sex right?

"Magistrate, don't you understand… Mesmerize is only used if our opponent is of the opposite sex, it's useless, especially if I have to fight the Demon Lord's army later, you think the [Mesmerize] skill will be useful?"

The Magistrate paused for a moment, then he laughed loudly, his voice loud and resounding like in a cave.

"Huahahaha! stupid young man, it turns out that there are so many stupid Earthlings like you… hahahaha, just so you know [Mesmerize] doesn't only apply to the opposite sex, but the same-sex can also be affected by [Mesmerize] didn't the goddess ever tell you? [Mesmerize] is alluring?"

"I-I know that, but most abilities commensurate with [Mesmerize] only apply to the opposite sex? even the manga I read is like that too?"

The Magistrate was confused, he tilted his head.

"Manga, is it some kind of food?"

Ah, I feel guilty saying that to this monster....

"Huh... that manga reads Japanese Comics."

The Magistrate alternately tilted his head in opposite directions.

"The comic is a drink?"

I swear I don't want to answer anymore...!  If forced to answer, I will shut up!

"Hey answer, aren't you a cool human being?"

He even speaks slang like that? is a Magistrate this cool?!

"Tch boring...."

He even said 'tch'?!

I closed my eyes as a sign that I don't want to talk, especially when talking to this terrible creature, it's better to be quiet… it's just that he really silenced me or?

I opened my eyes slowly.

"Finally you saw me."

"Wow, what a surprise!"

My heart is beating fast because of this creature, imagine if in front of you there is a skull that approaches you with a distance of five centimeters, which surely you will be shocked and trigger a change in heart rate.

Damn my heart doesn't stop beating fast, this Magistrate's face is too scary. Moreover, he was still tilting his head like that.

"Hey, you still haven't answered the comic's meaning? is that some kind of water to drink?"

"You still haven't given up huh, geez ... what can I do, I'll answer now."

I gave that answer to the curious Magistrate, he smiled broadly when his curiosity disappeared, even though his face was scary to look at, even my face was sweating with fear.

"I see, so comics are a kind of picture paper with speech bubbles like our conversation, I like you cool young man, this time I will not execute you."

Uh...? don't tell me if I don't answer, he will take my life? luckily I answered.

"Because the goddess told me to take care of you."

"Oh I see ...."

So if I don't answer, The Magistrate won't execute me?! ah why do i have to answer it....

"But if you intrigue me, I will execute you!"

Ah... lucky I answered that easy question, to save my life.

"Hey human, speaking of that… your clothes I've never seen before?"

"That's right because this is a school uniform, a dark blue blazer uniform."

I smiled at The Magistrate when he asked about my uniform, but....

"A blazer uniform, what else is that?"

Why should I answer it enthusiastically! he's curious again....?

Finally the Magistrate was made curious again, and I had to answer him so he wouldn't be curious anymore, he asked again and again, what kind of curious monster is he?!

And to my dismay, the goddess is still not here? even the Magistrate attacked me with dozens of questions, too bad.

"I see, then what is Arashi High School?"

Just kill me!!
