Leveling Murderer - Chapter 13

 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.
