Leveling Murderer - Chapter 25

 Episode 25: Man in the Shadow

 

“I'm so full. The oden was absolutely delicious. It was a real treat.”

“I see. I'm sure mom will be happy to hear that.”

I got up and headed for the kitchen with the pot of oden.

 

“By the way, has Shimizu-san returned yet?”

“Maybe so. I have not heard her open the door, so I think she is not home yet.”

The apartment we live in has thin walls, so the sound of the next room's front door opening and closing can be heard quite clearly.

 

“Onizuka-san, may I use your restroom?”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

The layout of the room is the same as theirs, so Misa opens the door to the bathroom without hesitation and walks in.

I decided to wash the pots and pans in the meantime.

 

I put a small amount of detergent on the sponge and put my hand inside the pot, just then.

“Hmm ...!?”

I felt a chill run down my spine.

I remembered this unpleasant sensation.

 

“I've sensed a bad guy ......!”

I threw the sponge in the sink and ran out of the room.

I look around outside, looking for people.

 

It was seven o'clock at night.

The area was completely enveloped in the shroud of night, and there was not a soul in sight.

 

I think the area of effect of the bad guy detection spell is a few hundred meters, so it wouldn't be surprising if there was someone in the area that I could see.

 

“Where......?”

“Um, Onizuka-san?”

 

I heard a voice from behind me and turned around to see Misa staring at me worriedly.

“What's wrong? Is there something outside?”

“Oh, no, it's .......”

I could have said it was nothing, but I didn't want to hide anything from Shimizu-san and Misa-chan, who had accepted me for who I was.

 

So.

“I'm using a spell to detect bad guys, and I just got a reaction. I was just checking.”

I'll just be honest.

 

“There was no one there, though.”

“Oh is that so? ...... Oh, wait a minute!”

When I was about to go back to the room, Misa-chan made a small remark.

 

“Hm? What?”

“There's someone behind that telephone pole over there.”

“What?”

I looked closely at the pole.

 

“You’re right.”

Indeed, there is a man standing across the street, hiding behind a telephone pole.

As soon as my eyes locked onto him, my chills grew even stronger and goosebumps broke out all over my body.

 

It's definitely him.

 

“Misa-chan, please go back inside.”

“What are you going to do, Onizuka-san?”

“I'm going to talk to that guy.”

Depending on how the other party comes out, it might be more than just talking, though.

 

“Oh, no, that's not safe. If he's a very bad person, he's ......”

“I'll be fine. I'm off.”

 

My level is 4, and the guy I'm meeting is shorter than I thought he'd be.

I sent Misa back to the room, put on my shoes, and walked over to the man.
