Chapter 90: He is a God level in getting tricked. (1/2)
Hey everyone! the second chapter of Yato bullying Metron is finally here. if the last chapter wasnt enough for you, then this one will definitely be.
As a side note though; a note which is for you, and for anyone whos reading this novel or any other novel should consider as important (please), I noticed that a few websites; one in particular that is standing out too much recently, are ripping off novel translations, such as the one youre about to read now, from their original publishers and publishing them in their own places, without taking neither the permission of the translator nor the permission of the original website that offers them. Surely, many of you would probably say something like thats nothing new, such websites have always existed., but for me and for many other content translators we are discouraged each time we see our works on other websites. That is how anyone would usually feel if they find their work stolen and used somewhere else on the internet, without their permission. they could lead for some translators to not only abandon the novel they are working on, but even the activity of translating itself. Of course, the readers are not to blame for this issue. But at least, and as a request from me, try to find the original publisher of the translated work you are reading and morally support its translator by reading it there. Its not like the original publishing site is making the novel payable, after all. All the websites are the same; the only difference is that if you kill the one that produces the content, all the others will die along with it. I think that is the easiest way yet the finest to express your thanks to the person whos working to bring you new chapters of that certain novel. It looks like this turned out to be a bit too large for a side note. I apologize for making you read through this little lecture (or my own complaints, I guess? lol). You may now enjoy the chapter. And if youre not reading it in J-fantasy books, then do me a favor and go read it there~ cheers!
After achieving my objective, which was to personally meet Metron, I cast my sight around the room. I was still surprised by his childlike appearance despite hearing about him before. So, this kid is over 500 years old I felt somehow uncomfortable with seeing his contradictory appearance, but Metron didnt mind what I was thinking and asked me while making a doubting expression.
You, why are you here no, how did you get here in the first place? Ouch! Ouuuch!!
Interrupting the serious question he made while trying to look intimidating, I gave him another strike in the head as an answer. An audible sound resounded from the hit, making Metron cover his head again and complain at me for being unreasonable.
Why are you hitting me!? Shut up! How about you think about the things you did to me before asking that question?
Summoning monsters on Earth, using Lina as a bait and trapping us inside theZero Worldand many other troublesome experiences. There is no way Id forgive him with only a single hit. Looking down at Metron who kept covering his head from the anguish, I decided to answer his first question.
About the way I came here. I used the teleportation magic circle you created on Earth. Magic circle? You mean the one on that island? I thought that I asked Sara to destroy it
Feeling that something doesnt fit along my story as he muttered to himself, Metron came to a conclusion on his own and asked with a trembling voice.
D-Dont tell me, what did you do to Sara
I could more or less guess the outline of the misunderstanding he came up with, but since it was convenient for me, I decided to use it against him. I returned a smirk as an affirmation to his question.
Yeah, if youre talking about that angel, shes doing well with them on the island. What do you mean by them? In the island? No way!
My profound response added more fuel to Metrons first misunderstanding. Obviously, I was referring to Lina and the girls when I said them, but for Metron, he probably thought that I was referring to those ridiculous monsters and traps set inside the island. He was most likely picturing Sara getting assaulted by those monsters when I answered him, as his face started getting pale while seeming to be in a deep thought. For my convenience, his delusions expanded even further, resulting in him ending up with a larger misunderstanding.
D-Dont tell me, even Lina Haha.
I grinned as if implying that he hit the mark. At that moment, Metron made a desperate face and casted his eyes down as if he gave up. I wasnt expecting him to misunderstand the situation this far, honestly. I wouldnt complain about it though. I internally laughed as I watched Metrons desperate face.
Dont worry. I will heal their bodies and turn it back to its original condition. I will also erase their memories so they wont remember the experience they went through. All you have to do is to give them a warm welcome when theyre back. Guu!!
After listening to me masquerading as a villain, Metron gritted his teeth from irritation. This guy is so easy to trick, seriously. Not that I mind that though. He makes my plan to handle him easier, after all. Feeling a bit amazed by how simple minded a God could be, I made sure that Sara and Linas problems were resolved. At this rate, they should be safe from getting any punishment from Metron.
Nevertheless, youve got quite the guts to cause me all those troubles back on Earth, huh.
I clenched my fist as I talked. While Lina and Saras problem was resolved, my wrath was still yet to be settled. Thinking that I will be hitting him again, Metron showed a sign of fear, but still decided to feign ignorance.
W-What are you talking about?
I wonder why is he still trying to play dumb at this point. I reacted to his foolish question by raising my fist.
Looks like one hit wasnt enough. Ah, its a lie! A lie! I was lying! Yes, I did! I did cause you a lot of trouble!
Knowing well that he wont be able to bear the pain of another hit, Metron obediently admitted his deeds. When I lowered back my arm, he felt safe again and unintentionally slipped his tongue.
But its not my fault, you know. Shouldnt the main reason be the weird skills you have? Ouuacch!! No matter how you think about it, its your fault!
Getting pissed by the way he spoke as if he were innocent, I raised my fist again and bumped it against his head. This kid just tried to shift his responsibility on me. He was undeniably the headmaster behind everything I went through.
Ouch! What is that!? Why does it hurt this much!? What is your level!? Im not required to answer that question.
Metron covered his head with both of his arms while writhing in agony. Even if he can easily find out my status by appraising me, I wont be telling him on my own.
Can you please stop using violence on master, Desu?
Meru who was quiet all this time yelled at me with an angry voice.
Hmm. This voice just now
Hearing a voice different than mine, Metron looked around the place while still covering his head. Recalling that Meru came here to ascertain her doubts to Metron, I quickly changed the topic and asked him about her.
Hey, do you really know how I came here? Eh? You forced Sara to stop destroying the magic circle, right? That magic circle cannot function without your personal magic. Then youve probably modified it to work with your own.
It seemed like he really didnt know since he kept tilting his head while staring at me. I heard an eh? coming from my phone after his reaction. Perhaps she was thinking that he forgot about her.
Well, I wouldnt say that I didnt predict this awkward situation, but it was still a little early to come up with a conclusion. I threw the ultimate question that I was preparing as a last measure to Metron.
There was something that you had created on that island, am I right? Are you talking about that AI? It should already be dead by now.
I was taken aback by his cold assertion. He seemed neither sad nor regretful when he declared that Meru should be dead by now. I even felt an ambiance of despair emanating from my phone immediately after his answer. She was most likely shocked from hearing those words. Somehow, I started hesitating on whether I should shift my gaze to the phone or not. Fixing my eyes on Metron who was still making a clueless face, I didnt have a choice but to take out my phone and turn the screen towards him.
It has been awhile master, Desu.
In a refined and venerating manner, Meru greeted Metron from within the screen. Sadly, her voice didnt sound glad or delighted from meeting her master; she spoke in a low and gloomy tone.
Could it be, Meru?
Metron pointed at the screen while revealing a perplexed face. At this point, he shouldve just apologized to her, but instead of choosing to peacefully wrap up the case, he decided to make the situation even worse.
Did you betray me?! Eh
Looks like those words had an unbearable impact on her. Not only he didnt get enough by arbitrarily assuming her death, but he even went and assumed that she had teamed up with me and betrayed him. Seeing this result, I thought that it would have been much better if he kept thinking that she was dead. My phone screen reflected Merus face which had started shedding tears. This stupid kid, hes totally inconsiderate of other peoples feelings.
Why did you team up with this scoundrel!? Who are you calling scoundrel!? Ouuach!
I calmed him down with another strike in the head.
Youve been hitting me too much from the moment we met! Idiot! Cheat character! Child abuser! So youre claiming that youre a child!? Think about how old are you!
I never met a child who is over 500 years. His appearance is nothing but a deceit. While the both of us started quarreling, Meru spoke in a low voice after keeping quiet for some time.
Idiot. Eh? Hm?
