Right now, Iām under Rimuru-samaās punishment. Itās called a āPsychidae Hellā, being tied up by wires and hung under the ceiling.
Despite how it sounds, there isnāt any pain or suffering involved. Right now, I am able to relax my body and stay in a relatively free state. This is surprisingly comfortable. And since the wires are flexible, my body can in fact move. However, the wires wonāt break regardless of how hard I struggle, and all I achieved by moving so much is causing myself nausea. So, Iāve come to realize that itās perhaps better to just stay still and be quiet.
My mind now focuses on something far more heart-breaking than the fact that Iām all alone here. Rimuru-sama and the others went to the Night something club without me! This is taking things too far. I wanted to go as wellā¦
Instead, I really have nothing to do nowā¦
I suppose itās rather impossible for me to escape by myself, my only hope is to summon one of the direwolf buddies to save me. But, how is it possible for me to do that? Not even Captain Rigur can pull it off. I really shouldnāt have to worry though, because if I was left like this it must be simple to do. This is probably Rimuru-samaās clever challenge. He is so mean though, I only overslept a littleā¦ But Iāll probably make Captain Rigur and Chief Rigurdo mad by saying such things. This better not get out to them.
Although I complain, there isnāt really any pain or displeasure, aside from being bored out of my mind. At the end of the day, Rimuru-sama is still very kind and gentle. I suppose thatās why everyone adores him.
Mah, he will probably let me get down by tomorrow when he returns, I just have to endure for the night.
***
This is really strange.
A whole night has already passed and itās morning now, yet Rimuru-sama and the others havenāt returned. Did something happen? Maybe they are just going sight-seeing or are spending the night somewhere else. But honestly, Iām beginning to feel hungry. I really hope to be back home soon.
***
This is really badā¦ Itās been three days yet Rimuru-sama and the others still havenāt returned. Thatās worrying, butāright now Iāve got no time to worry about others!
Right now, I am facing a real crisis. Even though itās pretty terrible to have an empty stomach, a far more pressing issue has come up.
piii ~~~~~~ guruguruguruā¦
My stomach hurtsā¦ I was able to keep the pee in, but now Iām faced with a number two. While under attack from both, I feel as though my psyche is being trained to the extreme.
AlsoāAhh! Right now Iām dangling in a living room with a fur carpet just below my feet. It would be another thing if it were a carved stone floor, but if I get such an expensive looking carpet dirty, even Kaijin-san would be madā¦ The same goes for Rimuru-sama, he will probably be furious at me for causing havoc in the room, someone who has never really paid any attention when he explained stuff like going to the restroom and taking showers.
It would seem, right now, that my situation isnāt only making me uncomfortable, but putting me in danger. So then what should I doā¦ No, itās not just a littleā¦ this is badā¦
My body started convulsing while I struggled to endure, causing the vibrations to pass onto the wires, starting very subtle oscillations. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before great tragedy strikes. It seems impossible to cut the wires loose, so I have to wait for Rimuru-sama to return. No solution now; Iām completely out of options. The sweat that had built up started flowing down, getting into my eyes and blurring my vision. If there is no way out, then I should just give up, and let it all outā
No, wait a second? Speaking of whichā¦ To the desperate me, I heard voices akin to heavenās call:
āIf you ever feel like giving up, just try summoning your buddy to save yourself!ā
Thatās true, Rimuru-sama did say that. Iām definitely being tested! And knowing this, I must be able to summon one in an instant.
Buddy, please come! If you donāt come quickly enough, something horrible is going to happen!!
I called out in my heart, and with that I felt the transmission of the message to the direwolf, who had not experienced this before.
Seems to be working!
And so, I kept calling after my first attempt and was able to grasp the connection of consciousness by the third time. If thatās what it takes, then itād be a lot simpler since my psyche has already been tormented to its limit at this point.
At long last, I was able to successfully summon the buddy before reaching my limit and let it carry me to the toilet.
But what happened next in the toilet when I released everything and gradually lost my power is a secret.
Luckily, all of this happened days before Rimuru-sama returned, giving me enough time to clean up any and all traces. Due to actually managing to summon a companion, I was quite surprised by myself, which cheered me up a bit.
But this is certain, I don't plan to tell anyone at all that I had almost failed in doing so. Iām taking this secret to the grave.
The hardship behind my success, that was its story!
