Episode 12: Secret Confession
{Onizuka Yamato's level
has increased by one for killing Kizaki Takafumi}
{Maximum HP increased
by 4, Maximum MP increased by 4, Strength increased by 3, Armor increased by 2,
and Speed increased by 1}
{Onizuka Yamato has
learned the spell of Chinkan Nikua}
As the machine-like
sound of level up was being heard.
“... Yamato-kun”
“... O-Onzuka-san”
While Shimizu-san and
Misa-chan hug each other, they turn to look at me.
“I'm sorry, I just—”
I tried to apologize to
her for hurting her family, even though she was in a pinch.
“No, thank you,
Yamato-kun, for saving Misa. Don't worry about it, Yamato-kun, I'm the one who
killed this person.”
Shimizu-san stood up
and said as if she had made up her mind.
“Mom that......”
“It's okay, Misa. It's
not right for Yamato-kun to be arrested for us.”
“But then mom would
have to go to .......”
“It's my fault for
choosing this man.”
“……Mom”
Shimizu-san takes out a
handkerchief from her pants pocket and tries to reach for the knife stuck in the
corpse's back.
“Oh, please wait,
Shimizu-san.”
“Yamato-kun, go back to
your room. I'll wipe your fingerprints off the knife and then call 110.”
She gave me a look full
of determination.
I guess Shimizu-san is
planning to turn herself in to the police on my behalf.
“No, that's not it.
...... His body is probably going to disappear soon—"
That's when I said it.
The man's corpse
quickly became semi-transparent and then disappeared in front of our eyes.
“Eh!?”
“......!?”
Shimizu-san dropped the
handkerchief she was holding onto the floor, and Misa-chan's mouth dropped open
in confusion as if she didn't know what had happened.
“W-What's going on with
......?”
“…!?”
As soon as the body
disappeared in front of us, I had to be prepared.
“Um ... I'll explain.
What just happened now.”
“What, Yamato-kun is
......?”
“O-Onizuka-san ...?”
“The story goes back a
week. I ... killed a person for the first time.”
◇ ◇ ◇
I told them about the
strange things that had happened around me during the past week.
They looked dubious at
first, but when they saw that I was talking seriously, they listened to me seriously
for the rest of the story as if it were their own.
I was afraid of what
they would think of me if I told them that I had killed someone and that I had
to keep on killing, but their reaction was unexpected.
Right after I finished
confessing my secret, Shimizu-san gave me a gentle hug.
“...... eh?”
“There's nothing wrong
with you, Yamato-kun. You had no choice.”
She patted me on the
back.
“...... Aren't you
afraid of me?”
“Why would I be afraid.
Yamato-kun is the one who saved Misa's life.”
And Misa-chan, too.
“Yes, Onizuka-san is a
good person.”
Instead of being afraid
of me, they accepted me with kindness.
“Shimizu-san, Misa-chan
......, th-thank you, thank you so much.”
I was a little stunned.
The two people who
listened to me were much more relaxed than I was when I told them my secret.
“... U-Um, then I'll be
going back in my room then.”
The feeling of
Shimizu-san hugging me was not a bad one, but it made Misa-chan shy away from
it.
“If the police do come,
please don't worry about it. As long as the body doesn't exist, there's nothing
they can do.”
“Don't worry about us.
Is Yamato-kun going to be okay?”
“eh?”
“That's right.
Onizuka-san, if you don't kill someone within a week, you will die, right?”
“Ah ... yeah, that's
right.”
They believe my story
without a doubt.
The fact that her
father's body disappeared in front of her eyes seemed to be a big factor.
Then, Shimizu-san and
Misa-chan looked at each other and gave a small nod at the same time, as if
they had made an agreement.
Then they looked me in
the eye and said,
“Yamato-kun, we are
fated to be together.”
Shimizu-san said.
“Onizuka-san trusted us
and told us everything. We are like a family now.”
Misa continues.
“H-Hah ...”
So, what's that supposed
to mean?
“If there's anything we
can do for you, please let us know. We'll do anything for you, Yamato-kun.”
“If there's anything I
can do to help, I will.”
“……eh”
“We won't let
Yamato-kun die.”
“We just need to find
the bad guys right.”
Whatever the reason,
they offered to help me even though I had killed their family member.
“N-No, wait a minute. I
can't drag you both into this anymore.”
“What are you talking
about? We're the ones who dragged you into this.”
“That's right.
Onizuka-san is the one who saved my life.”
I don't know, maybe
it's because the three of us got out of a tight spot together or maybe it's
because I confessed my secret, but both Shimizu-san and Misa-chan are treating
me more than favourably.
But there was no way I
could possibly make such a kind mother and daughter take part in a murder.
“I appreciate the
sentiment, but I really mean it, please excuse me.”
“Ah, wait ...”
“Onizuka-san”
I quickly left the room
and rushed to my room, shaking off the mother and daughter who tried to keep me
there.
I locked the front
door, ignored the calls of Shimizu-san and the others, put in my earplugs and
went to sleep early that night.
