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.
More!!
