Episode 21: Making a Decision.
“Alliance? What does that mean?”
Hosoya-san wrinkled her
brow.
“It's exactly what the
word says.”
I continued my
conversation in front of Hosoya-san, who looked at me suspiciously.
“I can't use the spell
to detect a murderer. So if a murderer tries to kill me, unless I'm very lucky,
they will kill me first.”
“......”
Hosoya-san, the one who
failed to kill me, kept her mouth shut.
“That's where
Hosoya-san comes in. I want you to tell me the description and location of the
murderer you have sensed.”
That way, I can be out
of danger.
“So that's what an
alliance is. So, what are you going to do for me, Onizuka-kun?”
“I'll let you live.”
“What? I don't understand. Are you kidding me?”
“You'd better not talk
back to me. I can use a death spell, so all I have to do is think of the name
and face of the person I want to kill and recite the spell and I can easily kill
them.”
Of course, I can't use
such a spell.
The only spells I can
use are recovery, antidote, and detect bad guys.
“W-What, you're threatening
me!”
But Hosoya-san, who was
not aware of such a thing, could not hide her agitation.
“You said you wouldn't
kill me. You said you'd forgive me.”
“I won't kill you if
you listen to me, Hosoya-san.”
“That's not fair!”
I know it's cowardly of
me, but it's for survival. I can’t afford to lose my life.
“So, what do you want
to do? Are you going to form
an alliance with me?”
“Fuc....”
While glaring at me,
Hosoya-san bites her bottom lip in resentment.
“Come on, decide.”
“......... I-I
understand, Alright.”
Hosoya-san reluctantly
accepted my proposal, hoping that it would help her to survive.
Then, out of the blue,
Hosoya-san grabbed the mug in front of her.
Gulp~
She drank the tea that
was probably already cold all at once.
And then.
“I want a refill.”
She puts her mug down with
a slam on the table.
“Didn't you just say
something about poisoning?”
“If you could kill me
just by thinking about it, you wouldn't have bothered to poison me. Just give
me another one.”
“Okay, okay.”
As Hosoya-san looks
somewhat refreshed, I reflect on how I may have cornered her a little too much.
☆ ☆ ☆
“Um...... Hosoya-san,
I'm done with the conversation, can you leave now?”
“No.”
She asked for refills
on her tea five times.
As the clock struck
9:00 p.m., I tried to ask Hosoya-san to leave, but she showed no sign of
leaving.
“You had a date, right? You're going to be late.”
“It's fine.”
Hosoya-san rolled
around on the carpet as if she were drunk.
“Onizuka-kun is evil!”
“Please don't get
upset. I won't threaten you anymore, so please leave for real.”
“You said that, but
you're going to kill me!”
Hosoya-san points at me
in a lispy tone. Her face is slightly red.
She is not really
drunk, is she?
“Huh......? Is there alcohol in this tea?”
As I was putting away
the box of tea packs, I saw the words [3% alcohol].
“Oh, my God.”
I can't believe it was
a tea with alcohol......
“fufufu”
When I checked on her, Hosoya-san
rolled up in the carpet and looked like a bagworm.
And she's trying to eat
the carpet itself.
“What the hell are you
doing? That’s dirty.”
Hosoya-san, who is weak
from alcohol and has lost all sense of reason.
“Come on, you can't eat
that. Leave it, please.”
“NO!!”
“Hey, don't scream so
loud.”
“Amu Amu...”
“Don't bite my hand.”
“Guh......”
“Don't fall asleep,
please.”
Not being able to force
Hosoya-san out of the house after she had completely transformed into an
infant, I had no choice but to let her stay the night.
