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 20

Hurry up, catch a taxi, and get in.
If it’s to my mom’s house, it should take about two hours even on the back roads.

Damn it, I forgot to bring the crucial weapon.
It can’t be helped, let’s procure it locally.

Today, I’m going to kill Mom.
I’ll kill you.
Even Sayu won’t help you.

My future and the promise with Hanazaki-san don’t matter at all.
I just want to put an end to this unstoppable anger, hatred, and mental anguish, like gas spewing from a punctured pipe.

“How much longer do you think it will take?”

“With this traffic jam, I really can’t tell what’s going on.”

Of all times, a traffic jam had to occur now.
I haven’t even entered the area where Mom is yet.

At this rate, it’ll be night.
Wait, does Mom definitely stay home more at night instead?

That’s right, don’t panic.
Use this time to think about how to dispose of the body.

Cut off the limbs and head, dismember the fingers, and bury each part separately.
Or… throw it into the river by the mountains.
The person is a fugitive. In other words, they have been missing from the start. Unless someone files a missing person report, it won’t even be considered a case.

Customer

The taxi driver started talking to me.

“You seem unwell, are you okay?”

They’re watching me through the rearview mirror.

“I’m fine.”

“Are you a high school student? Are you from Higashi High School?”

“That’s true, but I don’t go to school anymore.”

Don’t talk to me.
Annoying.

“My daughter also used to attend Higashi High School. She had various issues and ended up dropping out, though.”

“Expelled?”

“My education must have been wrong. In the end, I couldn’t even protect her, let alone correct her.”

“What is your daughter’s name?”

“It’s Rina. Murano Rina. Were you perhaps friends?”

I got goosebumps all over.
It was just a coincidence, right?
Rina Murano. The woman who once played my girlfriend, Makabe.

After contracting an STD and becoming addicted to drugs, she even got pregnant, and now she should be under police custody.

“W-we were classmates.”

“I see…”

According to Hanazaki information, Murano Rina had a fight with her parents and ran away from home.
That’s when I became the prey of a bad man.

She was a beautiful girl, wasn’t she?

“Huh? Ah, well…”

She was my pride and joy. But ever since she hit her rebellious phase, we’ve been fighting non-stop… Now, we can’t even argue anymore.

It seems like it’s going to be a long story.
If you’re going to regret it, do it alone.
Rina Murano was bound to end up that way.

“I heard from the police about the condition of that child, and I blamed myself. But at the same time, I felt relieved.”

“Relief?”

“I can’t say for sure, but at least they will live longer than if they were surrounded by dangerous people. They can’t escape sin or responsibility, but as a parent, I still want them to live. As healthy as possible.”

Indeed, since Murano is a minor, the police and the hospital will probably take care of various things.
Treating illnesses, pregnancy, overcoming drug addiction, and so on.

“As a parent, it’s a natural wish.”

She’s completely different from my mom.
He was just one step away from strangling Sayu.
The way they treated me, it wouldn’t have been surprising if I had chosen to take my own life.

So, what about Dad?
My proud father, who always stood by Sayu and me.

Is Dad also wishing for the same thing from heaven?
I want you to live a long and healthy life.
When you think about it, Grandpa is truly unfortunate. He lost his precious son.
Moreover, if I, the grandson, were to get arrested and we couldn’t meet anymore, surely…

By the time I arrived at the apartment where my mother lives, it was already completely night.
The outskirts of a certain prefecture in Northern Kanto.
In a deserted area, there was that apartment.

A blinding red light momentarily obstructs my vision.

It’s the light of a patrol lamp.
Two police cars were parked.
Oh no, I instantly grasp the situation.

Hanazaki-san got ahead of me.
Surely, as soon as I was gone, they called the police and made Sayu talk about everything.
He was originally a fugitive who caused a stir in society, so it’s not surprising that the police acted quickly.

Damn, does this mean we can’t intervene?

“Please stop here.”

Get out of the taxi and approach on foot.
I hide behind a vending machine I stumbled upon by chance.

From the vacant room on the second floor, an unknown man was taken away by the police.

“Let go of me!! Do you have any evidence or something?!!”

No way, could that be Takeshi?
A chubby, filthy old man. Was Sayu assaulted by someone like that?

“Damn it!! That brat talked, huh? I took care of the scum of society instead of you useless cops, damn it!!”

Shut up.
Don’t let unrelated people butt in.
Get lost already, you perverted bastard.

Let’s leave his handling to the law.
The important thing is Mom.
In this situation, killing that person is difficult, but there is still a chance.

After this, Mom will surely be brought out of her room too.
There it is. Aim for that spot.

I won’t let you live a life in prison.
His life ends here, with me.
Because it’s also revenge on Sayu.

Pick up a suitably large stone.
Anytime, come on.

However, no one came out no matter how long I waited.
What’s going on? What happened?
No way, are they not here?

I heard he’s going to a host club, so is he out by coincidence?
So, where on earth is Mom?

In an instant, I heard a short screeching sound from behind me.
A bicycle that is completely flattened and has a flat tire.
At the same time, a pair of worn-out shoes comes into view.

Raise your gaze.

A familiar-looking monster was there.
No hair. No eyebrows or eyelashes. A face covered in bruises and burns. The nose is bent in a strange direction, and drool is dripping from the mouth.
And on the right eye, an eye patch.

But I understand.
There is a resemblance.

Mom alternated her gaze between me and the apartment, then turned her bicycle 180 degrees.

Letting you escape?
I won’t allow you to escape from reality any longer.
