Episode 13: Detecting bad guys
The next morning, I
overslept for an hour because I was asleep with my earplugs in and didn't
notice the alarm on my phone.
I explained to the
office that I was sick and had to go to the hospital before coming to work in the
afternoon, and after hanging up the phone, I put some bread in the toaster.
I turned on the TV to
watch a news program and thought back to yesterday's events.
“Did Shimizu-san and
the others get any sleep last night......?”
I killed her husband
who came to their apartment yesterday after chasing Shimizu-san who ran away
with her daughter, but unexpectedly both Shimizu-san and Misa-chan were calm,
so I think that there is no problem .....
Status open.
Picon~
In response to my
words, a status board appears in front of me.
Yamato Onizuka: Level 4
HP: 19/19
MP: 7/7
Strength: 17
Armor: 15
Speed: 13
Spells:
Kufika (2)
Kudoge(1)
Chinkanikua(3)
“Level four, huh......”
Level four, means I
killed three people.
The first was the man
who attacked me on the street.
The second was his
girlfriend.
The third was
Misa-chan's father.
Strangely, I don't feel
guilty.
Maybe it was because
all the cases were in situations where if I didn't do it, I would have been killed.
But from now on, I
can't say that.
As long as I have to
keep killing people, I have to think about actively initiating it.
I'm not particularly
tall nor do I have any martial arts experience, so if there's a significant
size difference like the guy from yesterday, there's a risk that I could get
hit back.
In order to reduce that
possibility, I might need a weapon of some kind.
Or a ...... spell.
I checked the spells
section.
Kufika was a recovery
spell.
So, what are Kudoge and
Chinkan Nikua spells?
I'll have to find out when
I use them. ......
I don't want it to be a
dangerous spell.
Kufika is a recovery
spell.
Kufika......Kufika.......
“……Hmm?”
That?
I was looking at the
status board when I noticed something.
“When read backwards,
it's ......?”
So maybe it's—
Kudoge is ...... gedok,
is it an antidote spell…?
Chinkanikua is uh,
...... akuninkanchi. So, does that mean it's a evil person detection spell…?
I don't know if I'm
right.
“Let's try this......”
The antidote spell would
be pointless to use right now, so if I have to use something, it's the evil
person detection spell.
I gulped.
And then I said,
"Chinkannikua”
I said out loud.
.......
.......
I prepared myself to
see what would happen, but nothing happened at all.
I thought it might take
some time, so I waited for about five minutes, but there was still no effect
from the spell.
“What's going on ...?”
And then...
Ping pong!~
The doorbell rings.
Scared for a moment, I
approached the door and checked through the peephole.
And there was Misa in
her school uniform.
I closed the status
board and then opened the door.
“Good morning,
Onizuka-san.”
As soon as Misa-chan
saw me, she gave me a bright smile that made it hard to believe that her father
had died in front of her yesterday.
“Oh, good morning.”
“Here's a little
something for you, if you want.”
“Hm? Oh, thank you.”
I received a Tupperware
container of what I guessed was stir-fried vegetables.
“I talked it over with
my mom after yesterday.”
Misa starts the
conversation.
“We decided to respect
Onizuka-san's wishes.”
“Yup”
“So, we decided to
forget about yesterday's discussion for now. My mother and I will continue to
interact with Onizuka-san as we always have.”
“Thank you. I
appreciate it.”
I wondered what was
going to happen to them after yesterday, since they were so intent on helping
me commit murder.
“......but please let
me know if you have any real problems. I'll help you with anything.”
“Ah, okay.”
I don't have any
intention of asking for help, but I'll just leave it at that.
“I'm off to school.”
“Have a good day.”
I watched Misa-chan
walk cheerfully to school, waving her off until she was out of sight, and then
I closed the door.
It was then.
Suddenly, I felt a
shiver run down my spine.
“what……?”
I feel a chill in the
air like I've never felt before.
Did I catch a cold,
really?
I closed the door,
thinking so.
The chills get even
stronger.
“What's this feeling
......?”
I can't explain it
well, but it's like when you scratch the blackboard with your fingernails.
Suddenly I remembered
using the Chinkannikua spell.
“Could this be that I
am sensing a evil person?”
I asked myself, and
opened the door again to go outside.
I look around and look
for someone who might look like that.
The only people I could
see from my apartment were a college-aged girl and a man in a suit in his
thirties walking behind her.
Neither of them looked
very evil, but when I saw the man, for some reason I felt goosebumps all over
my body.
“That man ... is it
him..?”
I can't be sure, but if
I were to trust this feeling, there might be something about that man in the
suit.
“... Should I check it
out?”
Conveniently, I had a
lot of time on my hands in the morning.
I grabbed a piece of
toast and left the room to follow the man.
That dude is dead.
