After Losing My Girlfriend, Mother, And Sister To Someone Else, I won 1.5 Billion Yen In The lottery. Now, I’m hiring A Coworker To Help Me Get My Revenge - Episode 13

If it were me, how would I search?

Following Hanazaki’s example, I investigate Makabe’s social media. Predict his range of activities. And then… a human wave tactic.

If it’s money, there’s plenty of it. And in the city, there are many people struggling with money.

That said, if they escape to the countryside where there’s no social media, we’re done for.

In the first place, figuring out how to investigate and make predictions is difficult for me.

I’m not good at the internet, you know.

Honestly relying on the police would be the quickest way, but then I wouldn’t be able to do whatever I want with him.

I want to thoroughly beat them up.

It’s been a few days since then, and I still haven’t heard from Ms. Hanazaki.

It seems like they haven’t even gone home.

I left Murano at my parents’ house and now he’s missing.

Your dad is probably worried too.

“Hanazaki-san, are you okay?”

If I got too involved and put myself in danger, I would feel extremely sorry.

Since Hanazaki-san is as versatile as a movie hero, I want to believe that everything will be okay.

Has Makabe already laid his hands on Mom and Sayu?

I was concerned, but I didn’t feel like reaching out.

Two days later, I received a message from Ms. Hanasaki.

I’ll be waiting at that house.

That house is most likely my family home.

A completely vacant house where the owner is absent, and although Grandpa is supposed to be handling the sale, the agents haven’t touched it yet.

The door is not locked.

The inside of the house was terribly ransacked.

The intruder who broke the window and entered probably rifled through the valuables.

Entering the living room.

“Hey there, Fujii-kun.”

Hanazaki-san was there.

Next to her sitting on the sofa…

“Yo, Fujii”

“Makabe…”

“Hehehe, you really went all out with that video, huh? I heard all about it from Yurika, everything.”

“What do you mean?”

Why are you so familiar and calling Ms. Hanazaki by her first name?

Ms. Hanazaki chuckles softly.

“Sorry, Fujii-kun. I’ve thought about it a lot, but actually, I’ve been admiring Makabe-kun for a long time. He’s tall and handsome.”

“No way?”

Makabe laughed loudly.

“Gahahaha!! It’s true, Fujii!! I ran into Yurika in the street by chance, and I found out everything. That you have a lot of money!! This girl became mine, you got tricked by another woman again!! Gahahaha!!!!”

Makabe drank the orange juice that was on the table.

“Hanazaki-san…”

“I was thinking, you know, that the smartest thing to do would be to take Fujii-kun’s money and live happily with Makabe-kun.”

“Have you been deceiving me all along…?”

Makabe drinks up the orange juice.

“That’s how it is. My comrades will be here soon. Right, Yurika?”

“Yeah♡ I made sure to tell them the location here.”

“Fujii, I’m going to kill you, take your card, and make you spill the PIN. Scary, right? Frustrating, right? If you strip naked and beg for mercy here, I might just spare your life, maybe!!”

“Hehe♡”

“Hey Yurika, did you sleep with this guy?”

“Not yet, though?”

“Tch, what a pathetic man. Alright, I’ll have s3x right in front of him.”

“Eh, it’s embarrassing~”

“Don’t say that… Wait, what is it?”

Makabe covered his eyes.

Surprisingly late, huh?

“What’s wrong, Makabe-kun~♡”

“Somehow… I’m really… sleepy…”

Makabe’s upper body was about to collapse, and Ms. Hanazaki supported him.

Slowly, tilt it to the side.

He’s sleeping with a carefree expression.

On the contrary, Ms. Hanazaki suddenly became serious.

“Sorry, Fujii-kun. The effect was slower than I expected, and I had to endure a creepy performance.”

“I knew it, but it still annoyed me. Is Makabe’s way of speaking irritating, or is Hanazaki-san’s acting skills just that amazing?”

“Hehe, do you think I’ll win the Academy Award for Best Actress in the future?”

I glance at the orange juice he was drinking.

Actually, the sleeping pills that were secretly added to this were the most expensive.

Because it’s something you can’t buy in stores.

That said, compared to my wealth, it’s not much.

“I’m glad you’re safe. I hadn’t heard from you in a while.”

“I was a bit busy, you know. I did contact Dad, though.”

I’ll be waiting at that house.

This message sent by Ms. Hanazaki also detailed the background up to this point.

First, Ms. Hanazaki searched for Makabe’s social media but couldn’t find it.

So, I rechecked Makabe’s school friends and Murano’s social media to predict his range of activities.

I have roughly grasped the areas I used to play in.

“Did you really not think I was hiding in the countryside?”

“Not a chance. Fujii-kun, even Murano-san ran away to her college boyfriend’s house, right? People like that usually have bad friends who will hide them. Besides, someone like Makabe wouldn’t choose a boring place like the countryside as a hideout. I was sure he would be lurking in the bustling downtown area where he often hangs out.”

After that, I gave money to some homeless people and a few mischievous men, had them search thoroughly, and found it.

I have the photos. They’re cut out from that video.

After that, Ms. Hanasaki herself made contact, using my large sum of money as bait to lure me to this house.

It seems like he skillfully infiltrated his inner circle by deliberately lying that I was his lover and claiming that he liked Makabe.

From his perspective, he probably wants to take my woman away again and make me despair.

And indeed, they fell into the trap.

Carelessly, without even carrying a single weapon, and without any caution, they appeared before me.

To this cursed house.

Since it’s not an apartment building, no one will notice even if we make a bit of noise.

“Hey, I don’t mean to jump to conclusions, but Hanazaki-san…”

“Hmm?”

“When you were pretending to be my boyfriend, did Makabe do anything to you?”

“…Hehe, oh really? You’re worried? We’re not even dating.”

“Y-Yeah, that’s true, but it’s not out of jealousy or anything. It’s just…”

“Hehehe, alright, alright.”

And with a little devilish smile.

“I haven’t done anything, and I haven’t made anyone do anything either. No matter how great an actor I am, that’s just impossible.”

I see.

“Hehe, that’s great.”

“Whatever…”

I let out a sigh of relief, but…

No matter how much it was acting, I wonder if I got jealous.

Oh well.

“Well then, come out, Murano.”

Murano, who had been hiding in the kitchen, shows his face.

Even though it was the long-awaited reunion with my boyfriend, he was completely unresponsive.

“Pass the rope. Tie him up.”

“Yes”

“Is it okay, aren’t we supposed to be lovers?”

“This guy didn’t help me.”

I see.

By the way, Makabe’s so-called friends won’t be coming here.

It’s all Hanazaki’s lie.

Looking down at Makabe’s sleeping face, I spoke.

“Let’s settle this, Makabe.”
