A Man Who Was Cheated on by a Bad Man and Had Everything Taken From Him Decides to Get Revenge by Starting a New Life - Chapter 13

“Hey there! Takumi Honjo, I’m back!”

I returned to the morning when someone pushed me off the train platform.

Can I start over even if I die…?

But, unlike before, I don’t know if there’s a pattern to the loop on that day or if it’s random.

Seven years later, platform doors were installed, and accidents of people accidentally falling onto the tracks decreased, but at this time, platform doors had not yet been installed.

I couldn’t see the running lantern.

I thought I felt a sharp pain for a moment as the train approached, and then I woke up in bed.

I got involved with Honjo, who was acting a bit strange again, and then I met up with Ms. Minase.

Up to this point, it’s fine.

The problem starts here…

Line up at the front on the station platform without changing your behavior at all.

The only difference from last time is that I am standing more than 30 meters away.

After the platform announcement, I heard the sound of an approaching train.

I was pushed from behind with a thud.

At the moment of falling from the platform, I maintained my posture, landed on the tracks, and jumped into the evacuation space under the platform, crossing the rails to avoid electrocution.

Amid the loud blaring of the buzzer, the rapid train passes right by me, who is in the escape hatch.

A few minutes later, the station attendant came down and went up the stairs at the end of the platform.

An ambulance had already been called, and even though I looked fine, I was advised to visit a medical facility and was taken by wheelchair to where the ambulance was waiting.

I will contact Minase on social media to let them know that I can’t go out for dinner today.

After getting a thorough check-up at the hospital and finding nothing particularly wrong, I headed straight back to my apartment.

Now I know for sure that there is someone who pushed me off the platform with clear intent to kill.

While eating the bento I bought at the convenience store on my way home, my hand holding the chopsticks started to tremble slightly.

I found out who tried to kill me.

If we don’t stay calm, we’ll end up getting hurt.

Use up all the accumulated revenge points.

First, height. If you’re going to fight Honjo, it’s better to have some reach.

I used 30 points to increase my height to 176 centimeters.

Next, I put 25 points into physical ability. Since I can increase it by 2 for each point, by this point, I got scared looking at myself in the mirror because I had become too muscular.

It seems that extending my height and inseam this much also enhances physical abilities and attractiveness a bit. So height really does matter for men, huh? Reality is tough…

Finally, I use 5 points on charm. This is just a wish. Since my face has become like I’ve had minor cosmetic surgery, I don’t think there’s much risk of my coworkers noticing. I’m actually more worried about my height and muscles than my face.

“Well then, next up is…”

I called that detective.

I explained that without revealing the criminal’s name, we could catch the criminal if they cooperated.

I posted a false report on the Sales Department 3 group SNS saying that I fell from the platform at the station and will take a day off tomorrow for detailed tests at the hospital. Immediately, the manager called me and I explained the situation.

The next day, I started preparing various things from the morning.

First, since the suit and clothes don’t fit, I spent the morning going around stores to find the right clothes. In the afternoon, in preparation for the confrontation with the weekend’s criminal, I meticulously prepared by visiting places I don’t usually go to for reservations and insurance.

And the next day.

“Honjo, how about going out for drinks this Friday for the first time in a while?”

“I want a girl.”

“No, I’ll properly invite the girls too.”

“Then, with the busty girl and Sakura-chan, kihi!”

“……Alright. I’ll invite them, but I can’t guarantee they’ll say yes, okay?”

“Hehehe!”

The way he laughs is scary.

The people in Sales Department 3 are also trying to avoid interacting with Honjo as much as possible.

I really don’t want to, but I have no choice but to do it.

When I asked Ms. Minase, she said she would go if I went.

Sakura is…

“If you promise to do one thing for me, I might consider going.”

Mean-looking eyes.

Those eyes, shining as if plotting a little prank, are familiar.

It’s the kind of eyes that always trouble me, yet are plotting to make me happy in the end.

They said they would join if we went to see a movie together on Thursday night.

Well, I would like to say that this is all part of the plan.

Honestly, lately, I’ve been a bit concerned about Sakura.

Today, the way the women look at me changed after seeing my height and appearance change, but Sakura still treats me the same.

Thursday evening.

I have a light dinner at the fast food restaurant in the neighboring town.

” Konno-san, why are you going to the movies with me?”

“Well, it’s not like there’s any deep reason or anything. It’s just… I’ve been worried because you’ve had a troubled look on your face lately.”

Sakura’s words sound a bit shy. Her voice is soft, and the surrounding noise gradually fades away. A mere colleague wouldn’t care about others to this extent.

“Hey, Koda-kun”

“Hmm?”

She finished drinking the juice in the paper cup and placed the cup on the table. The ice clinked softly, and a quiet moment passed. Sakura’s gaze caught mine, and her eyes took on a serious expression.

“I’m scared that Koda-kun might go somewhere far away.”

Is it a woman’s intuition?

If we lose the decisive battle tomorrow, we might really end up going far, far away.

Relying on something as convenient as a loop is just plain wrong.

There might not be a next time…

“Are you okay?”

It would be a lie to say I’m not worried.

But I clearly answered the woman in front of me.

“I’m not going anywhere.”
