Leveling Murderer - Chapter 36

 Episode 36 - A New Job

 

Three days after I killed Saburo Yamazaki, the company I work for, Yoshida Neji, went bankrupt.

 

The company's business had been in trouble from the start, but the disappearance of the two employees sparked a rumor on the Internet, and the company was labeled a "black company" and all of its clients cut ties with it.

 

With the collapse of the company, all the press that had been swarming around the company disappeared.

 

This made it easier for me to go out without being seen, but I had lost my best friend and my job at the same time.

 

I had some money to live on for the time being, but I had to find a new job.

However, I don't have any special qualifications.

 

In the countryside where I live, there are very few places that are looking for full-time employees, and the only ones that are available are part-time jobs at convenience stores.

 

But I'm not a very social person, so I really didn't want to work as a cashier or anything like that.

“What should I do ......?”

I rolled over on my bed and checked my phone.

 

On the internet forums, there are things like [It's an easy job and pays 5,000 yen an hour!] [You must see this if you want to make a lot of money right now!] or [There's a money-making story that's not a lie!] [Click here first!] [Click first!] and other suspicious words.

 

“Bullshit. How can anyone believe this......”

 

I put my phone down on the bed in disgust and stood up, stretching wide.

I look at the date on the calendar.

 

“Four more days.......”

I reminded myself that I had to kill someone again in four days.

 

That's when I suddenly realize.

I don't have any qualifications, but I know how to use spells.

I have six spells in total: recovery, detoxification, detect evildoers, stealth, clairvoyance, and mind-reading.

 

If the recovery spells were also effective on others, I might have taken the plunge and become a shady doctor, but unfortunately the recovery spells are only effective on me.

Detoxification and detecting evildoers would not be worth the money either.

 

However, when it comes to stealthy footwork, clairvoyance, and mind-reading, I feel that I can use them to mimic a certain profession.

 

That profession is detective.

 

I don't know much about what detectives do, but from what I've seen on TV, their main job is to follow people and investigate their personal affairs.

If that's the case, then I guess I could use my spells to make some money.

 

It was just a thought, but I picked up my phone again and looked up the profession of detective.

 

I found out that you don't need any official qualifications to be a detective.

 

As an apartment dweller, there was no way I could open a detective agency, but if I used the forum on my phone like I had seen earlier, I might be able to pull it off.

Moreover, as a detective, there would be many cases where I could meet bad guys.

 

“….Let's try.......”

 

Letting the momentum of the moment carry me, I quickly typed the text into my phone to be posted on the Internet forum.

 

The text went like this.

“We'll take care of any request you have! Our price is half of the market price! [Onitsuka Detective Agency]”

 

At the end, I wrote down my email address and tapped the send button.

 

But the moment my writing was uploaded to the Internet, I came to my senses.

 

“Oh no, what am I even doing ......?”

No matter what the reason is, I can't believe I put my e-mail address on such a shady forum.

 

I don't know if anyone would ever contact me about this.

 

Buuuuuuuunn ...... Buuuuuuuunn .......

 

At that moment, my phone on vibrate mode received a text message.

 

I was surprised when I opened the email I just received, thinking no way.......

 

There was a lengthy text requesting work for the Onizuka Detective Agency.
