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 21

Run.
Me too, and Mom too.
They were on a bicycle, so I was worried it would be hard to catch up, but they weren’t going that fast.

It must be because the tire is flat.
Mom also noticed it, abandoned the bicycle, and ran on her own feet.

“Stop!! Halt!!”

“Haahaa…”

Eventually, when we reached the area near the busy station, Mom fell.

“Yikes!!”

Dragged on the asphalt, bl00d streaming from my cheek.

“Hah, hah, it’s been a while, Mom.”

“Ri, Rikkun…”

“You look completely different. Did you have a botched plastic surgery?”

“You!! You were the one who reported me, weren’t you?!”

“That guy with the bad luck. Was he out and about?”

“What the hell are you, what the hell are you!! Why the hell are you here… Sayu!! That brat asked you for help!!”

Finally treating Sayu like a brat, huh?
He may be a brat, but he was quite devoted to his mother.

“The long life on the run is finally over. You demon.”

“W-Who are you calling a demon!? To your own mother!!”

“A mother does not disregard her son’s or daughter’s human rights. She does not use them as tools for her own happiness!!”

“Shut up!! How dare you, a child, defy your parent!! It’s all your fault!! I was just, just trying to have a romance. But you did that!! The reason Sayu had such a terrible experience, and why I ended up like this, is all because of your pathetic jealousy, right!?”

“What do you mean, I can’t fall in love with someone? I can’t be happy? I’m a human too!! I have feelings!! I’m not just a robot that works and cooks!! Ugh, uooooo…”

The monster started to cry.
A wretched, beast-like wail.
Even though the sun has set, it’s still 7 PM. The people passing by are walking past the monster with puzzled expressions.

“I’ve done so much for Takeshi, and yet you ruin it all. Why do you want to make me unhappy? If you hate me that much, just give me the money and cut ties already. But no, you keep insisting…”

“I don’t have a single yen to give to someone like you.”

“Who do you think raised Rikkun? Do you have any idea how much money it cost to raise you? I’m telling you to give me that much! I apologized to you, didn’t I? The real devil here is you!”

Flap flap flap flap, at this point.

“You already realized it a long time ago, didn’t you? That it’s all your fault. That’s why you kept running away.”

“Th-That kind of thing…”

“But because I don’t want to get hurt, because I don’t want to admit it, it’s all someone else’s fault. Everything is someone else’s fault. If it means protecting myself, I’ll gladly step on others. I love myself the most, and as long as I’m okay, I don’t care about anything else. …Anyway, Sayu ran away from home because of Sayu and Takeshi, right? Wake up already, you’re a piece of trash.”

“This ingrate!!”

The monster is pouncing.
I reflexively kick it with my foot.

“Ugh!!”

“You taught me when I was little, right? That if you do something wrong, you should say sorry. What about you? Have you ever sincerely apologized to someone?!!”

“I-I didn’t do anything wrong!! It’s you and Sayu who are to blame!! You made me feel lonely!! And if we’re talking about the root of the problem, it’s because Makabe-kun… Yes, it’s because Makabe-kun tried to hit on me. Sayu became unhappy because of Makabe-kun too. If you’re going to be angry, be angry at him!! It’s unreasonable to yell at me!?”

“Don’t talk about principles, you worthless piece of trash.”

“Ugh!! Shut up, shut up, shut up!! It was a mistake to have you. Die!! Die!! Give me back my life!! You should apologize to me!!”

“Take this!!”

The somewhat cooled spirit in the taxi was once again stirred up.
Even after saying all this, even after falling into such a situation, you still can’t understand your own position?

Murano and Sayu both apologized.
Cornered, he sincerely apologized to me from the bottom of his heart.

Even Makabe acknowledged his mistakes in the end.
Yet this guy, this guy alone…

The stone I picked up earlier is gone. I must have dropped it while running.
But I have skills. I’ll strangle him to death.

Kill me…

“Fuji-kun!!”

I heard Ms. Hanazaki voice.
Looking back, she was definitely there before my eyes, even though she shouldn’t have been.

Why are you here?
Even if I was chasing after you, the road was congested…

I see, it’s the train.
This is near the station. Hanazaki-san must have been curious and decided to take the train to the apartment.
And by chance, we ran into each other here.

It seemed that Hanazaki-san instantly understood the situation and looked at me with a sorrowful expression.

“Hanazaki-san…”

With a desperate look on her face, she tells him.

“Stop it, Fuji-kun.”

“But this guy!!”

“Thanks to your help, Fuji-kun, I’ve been able to forget my resentment towards my mother. Let’s enjoy our new lives together. I want to go on a hot spring trip with you, Fuji-kun.”

“I want to ride on the back of the bike that Fuji-kun is driving and go far away.”

“I…”

I have a future.
Grandpa blessed me, saying that the 1.5 billion yen from the lottery is a reward from God.
Just like Murano’s father, my dad might also want me to live a healthy life.

How about the monster right in front of me?

Fearing the gaze of the onlookers who had gathered, he crouched down, pressing his forehead against the ground.

“Don’t look at me!! Don’t look at me!! I haven’t hurt anyone!! I’m the victim!! Everyone just became unhappy on their own!! I haven’t done anything!!”

This guy has no future.
He is already socially dead.

Hanazaki-san holds my hand.
Straightforwardly, he stares at me.

Ah, I got it.

“Mom”

“?”

“I still have nearly 1.3 billion left in my account.”

“No way, are you giving it to me?”

“Mom, you’ll only be able to eat stinky, cold food from now on, but not me. Once I put you in the slammer, I’m heading to a high-end yakiniku restaurant in the city. I’ll go wherever I want, live in a nice house, take a long bath in a spacious tub, enjoy my favorite manga and games… I’ll live a life you could never even dream of.”

“Maybe I’ll dye my hair too. Unlike Mom, who has a bald head now, my hair is still thick. Oh, and I’ll get hair removal too. Unlike Mom, who is covered in dirty graffiti, my skin is nice and clean. Maybe I’ll try going to a host club too. They say men can enjoy it too, right? Mom, unlike you, I’m rich, so they’ll probably welcome me. By the way, Mom, you probably weren’t even treated well by the hosts, were you?”

“Ri, Riku…”

“Mom, really, really, thank you for giving birth to me. I’ll be happy on your behalf, so you can live a life fitting for the scum of society. And finally”

Suu, take a deep breath.
This is the last one.

“You don’t have the right to be happy. Go die alone in misery, you old hag!!”

“Whoaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!”

Mom turns her back to me and starts running.
Push through the crowd and escape.

Still running away, huh? You never learn, do you?

And then Mom tried to cross the main street.

“Ah”

I was hit by a car.
Even though the car had braked and slowed down just before the impact, the shock must have been tremendous.

“Ah… ah… ka…”

That’s amazing, you’re conscious.
There’s no bl00d, and it’s got the vitality of a cockroach.

The audience is inappropriately taking photos with their smartphones.

One of them called an ambulance.
It might be better for him to die like this, but I have a feeling he will survive.
I mean, it would be a problem if dying were this easy. Even King Enma wouldn’t want to meet someone like this, right?

Sigh, and with it, my strength drains away.
It’s over. That’s everyone.
I was able to defeat the scum who dragged me into hell.

“Hanazaki-san, I’ll transfer 20 million yen for Sayu and your mother.”

“Yeah”

“Hey? Didn’t you say you didn’t need the reward anymore?”

“Hmm. I believe in taking what I can get.”

“What the heck is that?”

“Ahaha”

Holding hands with her.
She pressed her body against mine.
Shoulder to shoulder.

“Sis, what are you going to do?”

“Well, let’s see…”
