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 8

I went to the office for the first time in a while.

I took more than a week off for bereavement.

I can painfully tell that everyone at work is being considerate of me.

Except for one person…

“Hey Koda, did you enjoy your time off?”

“Ha ha, do I look like I’m having fun?”

“Idiot. Of course, it’s a joke!”

That’s right.

To you, it doesn’t matter what happens to others.

I’m really looking forward to it.

How should I take revenge on this “thing” wearing this person’s skin?

I watched for a whole day, but in a way, it might be the strongest.

He doesn’t seem to have any lingering attachments to the company. He’s not particularly attached to money either. The only potential weakness he has might be his relationships with women, but even if you exploit that, he might not care much.

Today, I decided to just observe and head home quickly.

Since I joined the company, I’ve been leaving on time almost every day.

The tasks that are assigned to newcomers are way too easy for me right now.

Rather than that, I spend time and money on self-improvement.

When I allocated the 10 leftover points to assets, the number 5 appeared on the screen.

After writing that, I won about 10 million yen in the second prize, so I have some financial leeway.

“Hey, you!”

“Yes?”

As soon as I left the company, I was approached by a strong-willed woman in her twenties.

“Go get Takuya Honjo!”

Honjo?

Could it be that the woman I toyed with in the past has come aboard?

This is interesting!

However!

“I’m sorry, but I cannot provide personal assistance to employees.”

I have to refuse here.

I hate Honjo with a passion, but I am still a member of this company.

Doing something like selling employees is not permissible under compliance regulations.

“What’s your name? I’m going to tell Uncle Hirobu on you!”

Hongwu?

If I remember correctly, the first name of Executive Director Itoda…

That means this child is…

“Excuse me, but what is your relationship with Mr. Honjo?”

“But I’m your sister, you know? Are you really going to fire me? Hurry up and call me!”

I see.

That means Honjo is Executive Ito’s nephew.

Is the different surname because he is the maternal uncle or younger brother?

Connections to get hired. The existence of a younger sister. The nephew of a company executive…

The piece for revenge against Honjo has been found.

“Excuse me, but please speak to the reception yourself.”

“Ah, just you remember this!”

A convenience gym right next to the office.

So, I changed into the training clothes I had stored in the locker.

I registered as a member because it’s easy to use here during weekday afternoons.

I put on sunglasses and deliberately messed up my hair.

When I returned to the company entrance in that outfit, Honjo happened to be coming out of the company.

“Takunii~!”

“Sawa, why are you at the company?”

“Geez! I told you today is my birthday, didn’t I!?”

“That’s a lie. I remember. Then, big brother will buy a present for his cute little sister.”

“Really? Yay, then let’s go?”

The arrogant woman from earlier was not there, but the younger sister who was sweet-talking with a cat-like voice was there.

And Honjo, your precious thing has finally been found.

You treat women like garbage and throw them away, but you’re so sweet to your sister, huh?

When I watch the two of them walking away, they look like a happy, close-knit brother and sister.

“Kōda, kun?”

“Mm… Ah, Konno-san.”

Konno Sakura.

I thought I was in disguise, so why was I recognized?

It seems that they haven’t noticed that I’ve been watching Honjo and his sister.

To hide my guilty feelings, I speak a little faster than usual.

“Well, I was out for a run and before I knew it, I was passing by the company. I thought I saw a car belonging to someone I know, so I stopped to take a look.”

“Hmm…”

Are you in pain?

That’s tough, isn’t it? Would you normally stop and look back just because a friend’s car passed by?

“Do you have any plans after running?”

Plans after running?

I have plans to go to the gym, but it’s hard to say because I’m lying and saying I’m running.

“Not particularly, but…”

“Well then, let’s go eat.”

Dinner with Konno Sakura?

I still have trauma from my past life, so I can’t trust anyone.

However, it is also necessary to know what the current relationship with Honjo is.

“Yay. Well then, let’s meet up later.”

Since it would be strange to return right away, I’ll take a light jog around the area to work up a sweat.

After that, I took a shower and changed at the convenience store gym.

A chain restaurant located in the building across from the station’s rotary. It mainly serves Japanese food but also offers some Western dishes at reasonable prices.

“Have you been avoiding me lately?”

“Huh? No… not at all.”

“See, you’re trying to put distance between us again.”

I’ve been noticed.

I definitely want to keep my distance.

Not recently, but from the very beginning when we met.

“I don’t know, but I can’t help but feel like Koda-kun is not a stranger to me.”

It’s not like I like them or anything, but they are someone who oddly sticks in my mind.

Sakura says that it is herself. She seems puzzled as well.

If it weren’t for that incident, I would have gotten married and been happy.

Even though I thought she was such a wonderful woman, I ended up having a terrible experience.

Even now, I find myself unconsciously keeping an eye on her.

Maybe the current Sakura is different from what she will be like seven years from now.

But… even so…

“Sorry, I can’t think of anything right now.”

“Heh… I didn’t confess or anything, you know? Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Blushing and saying something.

The fact that we’re both relatively bad at lying hasn’t changed since our past lives.

But now, what I must do is to ensure that man is completely eliminated.
