Leveling Murderer - Chapter 20

 Episode 20: Alliance

 

When I opened the door, Hosoya-san was standing in front of the entrance with a grim expression on her face.

 

“You're late. I thought you weren't coming.”

It was 8:30 at night.

It was thirty minutes past the agreed time.

 

“Honestly, I was really worried.”

Hosoya-san looked up at me, as if she suspected it was a trap.

 

“So what's the story?”

“Well, please come up for now. Then we can talk.”

When I urged her with my hand to enter the room, Hosoya-san reluctantly obeyed.

 

“Just sit back and relax, I'll make you some tea.”

“I can't relax, there is no way.”

While mumbling, Hosoya-san took off her coat and sat down on a cushion.

 

The jeans that seemed to emphasize her body line and the tight pink fleece were so different from the usual Hosoya-san that I almost couldn't take my eyes off her.

 

I went alone to the kitchen to boil water and took out an intact tea pack from the back of the shelf.

 

Three minutes later--

I put a mug of tea on the table in the center of the room.

 

“Here you go.”

Then Hosoya-san pointed to the tea in front of her and said

“... this isn't poisonous, is it?”

“There's nothing in there.”

She was still looking pretty cautious.

 

“Take a sip then.”

“No, I'm not much of a tea drinker.”

“Then why do you have tea? There must be poison in it.”

“There's nothing in it. This tea was merely a present I received.”

 

I thought that women would prefer black tea over black coffee, and for this reason I chose black tea, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood so much.

 

“I'm sorry, but I'll pass on this. I don't trust you that much, Onizuka-kun.”

“It's fine if that makes you feel better, Hosoya-san.”

I stared at Hosoya-san as I said this.

 

“...... what?”

“No, I was just thinking that your impression of Hosoya-san has changed a lot since yesterday.......”

“Onizuka-kun doesn't need to play the cat anymore, so it's only natural.”

“Huh.......”

Could it be that everything I had thought of her as a neat and elegant woman was all an act?

 

“If you want to discuss something, please do so quickly. I have a date later.”

“Eh, you had a boyfriend, Hosoya-san?”

I'm sure I'm no longer in love with her, but for some reason I'm still a little shocked.

 

“Isn’t it obvious. Such good woman of this class are never free.”

“good woman...”

You tell yourself that.

Well, it doesn't really matter now.

 

Even though I was a little fed up with my inability to recognize women, I started talking.

“Hosoya-san, you can use a spell to detect killers, right? When did you learn to use it?”

“A month ago. I remember when I killed someone for the first time.”

I'm curious to know who she killed, but I'll ask her about that later.

 

“How exactly do you detect them?”

“Whenever there is a murderer within a few hundred meters, I get chills or a bad feeling.”

Hosoya-san replied, hugging her body with her arms.

 

I guess it's similar to my spell to detect bad people.

 

“How many killers have you detected so far?”

“Seven if I don't count Onizuka-kun.”

“Seven? That many?”

 

There are seven other killers in this area besides me and Hosoya-san?

...... this is unexpected.

 

I guess I will be needing this woman.

“Then I'll get onto the main subject... Hosoya-san, why don't you form an alliance with me?”
