Episode 3: Ijima Yuko
After finishing my
breakfast, I went to the park where I was yesterday.
I walked around the
park in the heavy rain with an umbrella.
As I expected, there
was not a single person in the park.
I looked around the
park to make sure there were no surveillance cameras and was relieved to see
that there were none.
This way, the police
would probably not be able to find out about me.
Finally, I headed to
the spot where I killed the man yesterday.
“……eh”
The man's body was
gone.
I looked down at the
spot where the man had fallen, but there was no sign of him.
The heavy rain must
have washed away all the blood I shed yesterday, as well as the blood of that
man.
However, the stone I
threw at the man ended up in the same place as yesterday.
Then where the hell did
that man's body go?
“...... Ah, you!”
As I was struggling in my head in the heavy rain, a woman's high-pitched voice came into my ears.
My immediate reaction
led me to turn around to see a blonde woman in t-shirt and sweatpants, holding
a smartphone and umbrella, staring at me with her mouth half open.
The woman's eyes
widened sharply.
“I knew it was you! Hey
tell me where the hell is Shin-chan!?”
She throws down her
umbrella and closes the distance between us.
“Eh, shi,
Shin-chan......?”
“You must be the one behind
this!”
The woman thrust her
phone in front of my face, and there was a video of me being punched and kicked
by Shinichi Gotoda.
It also shows me in
tears, begging for help.
Come to think of it,
the guy yesterday seemed to be filming me on his phone as I was desperately
apologizing.
“I can't get in touch
with Shin since he sent this video to me yesterday! You must've done something
to Shin-chan!”
The woman comes closer
and closer to me.
“No, no, I don’t.......”
“Where is Shin-chan!”
“That—”
“Answer me or I'll kill
you!”
In the heavy rain, the
woman threw away the phone she was holding and pulled out a butterfly knife
from her pocket.
“Aah!”
The woman thrusted her
knife into my face regardless of whether I said anything or not, without a
second thought.
“Kugh..”
I reacted instantly and
dodged to the side, but the woman's knife grazed my temple.
Blood splattered on the
ground.
“Are you out of your
mind!”
“Where did you take Shin-chan!?”
The woman swings her
knife at me, her eyes red with pupils dilated.
“Oh no, is she on drugs
or something?”
She's completely out of
her mind.
I don't think she will
listen to me.
I went to grab the
woman's wrist with both hands, prepared to be stabbed in the hand at this
point.
“Gah...”
Despite the cut on my
hand, I grabbed the woman's wrist firmly.
“Let go of me!”
“Ugh!”
“Oh, you...... you
bitch!”
The woman tried to
shake off my hand and started to lash out with her whole body, like a broken
washing machine.
“Let me go, you fuck!......”
“Let me go!”
And the next thing you
know—
Thud.
"Uh......!?"
After a struggle, the
knife was thrust into the woman's left breast.
“Gah….y-you..!”
The woman collapses to
the ground, falling to her knees in the heavy rain.
She grasps my ankle
weakly as she looks at me with resentment in her eyes.
However, the woman
seemed to have run out of steam, and dropped her face into a puddle of water on
the ground.
Immediately after—
Tetetete te te tte ~n!
A funny sound effect
played in my head as it did with Shinichi Gotoda.
Then a flat voice with
a machine-like tone echoed in my head.
{Onizuka Yamato gained
one level for killing Ijima Yuko.}
{Max HP increased by 3,
Max MP increased by 1, Strength increased by 2, Armor increased by 2, and Speed
increased by 1.}
{Onizuka Yamato has learned the spell of Kudoge. }
I had no choice but to
do that. ...... I would have been killed if I didn't.
I look down at the
woman slumped on the ground, my voice trembling as I try to convince myself.
After a while, I looked
around, but there was no one in the park under the heavy rain.
I was standing in the
rain, trying to figure out what to do about this situation.
Would self-defense
work?
But considering the
fact that she is a woman, and the difference in her physical strength, it could
still be suspected of being excessive self-defense.......
As I was deep in
thought in the rain, I saw something I couldn't believe.
The woman's corpse
suddenly started to become transparent, and then she disappeared completely in
front of me.
"!? I-It
disappeared !?"
The knife and blood
that had been stuck in the woman's chest disappeared completely.
All that was left was
the umbrella and phone that the woman had thrown away.
“W-What is ......”
What does this mean?
Is this how the man
from yesterday disappeared, too...?
Is that why they never
made a case......?
There are still many
things I don't know, but I do know some things.
There are no
surveillance cameras in this park.
No witnesses last time
or this time. No bodies either.
So isn't this a ......
perfect crime.
“Hahaha ...”
I naturally laughed.
I was surprised to find
that even though I had just killed someone, I didn't feel the slightest sense
of guilt, even though the feeling of having killed someone was still on my
hands.
In fact, I even felt my
mood lifting.
“Have I gone crazy......?”
Or was this the kind of
person I had always been?
I look at my hands and
ask myself the same question as the rain gets heavier.
and—
“I wonder”
I heard a child-like
voice coming from right behind me.
“What!? Who is it!?”
I turned around in a
panic.
“Me? I'm Akira Ishigami, twelve years old, and I'm in
elementary school. But as a murderer, I have more experience than you oni-san.”
A boy holding an
umbrella looked up at me with a smirk.
