Episode 40: Mind-reading spell
“...... kill Kadokura?”
“Oh, I'm sorry. I don't
know what I'm saying. I'm just kidding, Just kidding, Please forget about it.”
Sasaki-san turned her
voice into a cheerful one and began to speak.
“Is that so......?”
“Yes, yes. Of course,
I'm joking. I've got a lot of work to do, so if you'll excuse me.”
After saying that,
Sasaki-san half-heartedly hung up the phone.
◇ ◇ ◇
I felt bad for
Sasaki-san, but I couldn't help but wonder about her state of mind and before I
knew it I was chanting "Ngarince".
I closed my eyes and
tried to see what was going on with Sasaki-san.
She was in a cubicle in
the bathroom.
Oh, no.
I thought so, but when
I looked closer, I saw that Sasaki-san was not doing her business, but eating
lunch by herself.
I felt a twinge of
sadness when I saw Sasaki-san eating her meal in the privacy of the bathroom,
trying not to make a sound, as if she was isolated in the company.
I thought of Kadokura
and chanted the clairvoyant spell again.
When I closed my eyes,
I saw Kadokura happily chatting with his colleagues and eating lunch.
“Hmmm ...... I'm sorry,
but you'll have to die.”
◇ ◇ ◇
I have a guilty
conscience, too.
I don't want to kill
anyone if possible, and if I have to do it, I prefer to take out thugs.
However, I wonder if
there are any thugs who have ever committed murder, sexual assault, or arson in
my area.
Maybe there are, but
chances are they're already behind bars.
That's why I've been
killing people who have fallen under the spell of detecting bad people without
giving it much thought.
I have one week to kill
someone or I'm dead.
Kadokura was on my bad
guy radar.
That's reason enough to
kill him.
Yes. This is not a
revenge killing for Sasaki-san, but a personal killing for me, and by
extension, for the betterment of society.
I know I'm full of
holes in my logic, but it's for the sake of living, and I can't give up on
that.
I told myself that and
left the apartment.
Then I went to a coffee
shop near the company where Sasaki-san worked and waited patiently, staring out
the window, until Kadokura left the company.
◇ ◇ ◇
A little after 6 p.m.,
I saw Sasaki-san coming out of the company alone.
She looked tired and
exhausted.
At 7 p.m., Kadokura
came out of the office with several men and women who looked like his
subordinates.
The way he walks,
smiling and shouldering his way with the men and women next to him, he looks
like a real people-person.
I chanted the spell “Shiabinoshi”
and followed them.
We stopped in front of
a tavern and Kadokura was exchanging a few words with his men.
According to what I
could hear from his loud voice, he refused their invitation, saying, “My wife
and child are waiting for me at home!” He seemed to be refusing the invitation
of his subordinates.
After parting from his
men, Kadokura headed home alone.
Kadokura gradually
enters a lonely road with no lights.
It was a good time to
kill him.
I look around to make
sure there is no one around and speed up my walk.
I approached Kadokura's
back with only four, three, and two meters remaining.
When I got behind him,
I quickly reached out and grabbed his neck.
“Gah ......?”
My current grip
strength is over a hundred kilos.
It's not easy to shake
off a grip once you have it.
“... Ka ... Kaha ...!”
I couldn't see his
face, but he was probably struggling, so I asked him what I wanted to ask.
“Hey, how do you feel
about Sasaki-san? Do
you think you did something wrong to Sasaki-san?”
“.....Ga......?!”
“Oh, I see. You can' t
talk right?”
I loosen the grip a
little bit.
“Don't turn around.
I'll break your neck the second you do.”
“......who are you? You're Sasaki's boyfriend.......?”
“I don't care about all
that. Answer my question.”
I applied a lot of
pressure.
My nails dug into his
throat.
“Gah ...! I understand
... I'm sorry, I’m sorry ... I think I did something terrible ... So please release
me ...!”
“Nshikudo”
I chanted a
mind-reading spell.
Then,
(Sasaki! I swear I’m
going to kill you!!)
The voice in Kadokura's
mind leaked out.
“...... Kadokura, I'm
glad you're such a jerk.”
I mumbled through my
mask and used my full power.
Goki.
There was a dull sound
and sensation, and Kadokura's strength drained from his entire body at once.
Tete tete tte tte tte ~n!
{Onizuka Yamato has
gained 1 level for killing Kengo Kadokura.}
{Maximum HP increased
by 1, maximum MP increased by 2, strength increased by 1, defense increased by
1, and speed increased by 2}
The strange sound
effects and machine-like sound in my brain told me that my level had increased.
As Kadokura's body
disappeared from my hands.
“I think I'll have a
good night's sleep.”
I walked to my
apartment.
