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 5

Why is Hanazaki-san inciting me to take revenge?

Why do they want to cooperate?

First, I want to know about that.

Hanazaki took a mini-sized plastic bottle out of her pocket.

It was healthy, oolong tea.

Open the lid and take a big gulp.

“Hmm… well, yeah. Maybe it’s just me taking it out on you.”

“Taking it out on me?”

“I’ve told you before, but my mom cheated. And you know, I was the child of that affair.”

It’s a case of cuckolding.

Just like Sayu was.

“My dad blew up. I… started to hate myself too. I felt like my life was worthless. Because just by being alive, I was making my dad sad, and I was nothing but the result of my mom’s foolishness.”

In Hanazaki-san’s voice as she spoke, tears were mixed in.

“I was scared. When my father, who had loved me so much, looked at me with eyes that saw me as trash.”

“But Hanazaki-san isn’t at fault, right?”

“Yeah. So my dad decided to raise me as his daughter again. Thanks to that, we’re really close now. …But my mom didn’t allow it. She tried to take custody and even demanded alimony.”

“Even though you cheated?”

“I made up that I was being abused by my dad on a daily basis.”

How thick-skinned can you be?

“Well, thanks to the lawyer’s hard work, I ended up not having to pay, and I’m still living with my dad. But that guy got away with it without any consequences.”

“Then, what about taking it out on someone?”

“I want to take revenge on that guy I couldn’t get back at back then, using someone just like him.”

“I see…”

“Why do people like that think it’s okay to make others miserable for no reason just to satisfy their petty desires?”

Absolutely correct.

Whoever you choose to date, it’s your freedom.

But deliberately disregarding someone else’s dignity is something only a beast would do.

“I want to make them understand. Together with Hanazaki-san.”

With a smile, Ms. Hanazaki laughed.

“Sounds good, let’s do it.”

“For each person I take revenge on, I’ll give Hanazaki-san a reward. How much should it be per person?”

“Hmm. To be honest, we’re pretty poor. My dad still hasn’t fully recovered mentally and takes breaks sometimes, and even with my part-time job earnings, it’s not much. So if I’m being completely honest, a higher wage might be better.”

“If you’re struggling with money, I’ll give you half for free even more.”

“That’s a bit too much for me. I’m not that desperate. So, I’d like to receive it as a reward.”

“So, 10 million per person. 40 million for four people.”

“Ohh~. Got it, the contract is established.”

“But, what are you going to do? Hire some scary people with 1.5 billion?”

“That’s not it. First, you’ll face social sanctions. Only after that will Fujii-kun’s 1.5 billion yen come into play.”

“???”

“When you seek help from someone you once betrayed, you stop caring about appearances.”

First, I decided to spend the week at my grandfather’s house until I receive the 1.5 billion yen.

I told everything to my grandfather.

He didn’t say anything, but it’s undeniable that he feels anger because he’s on my father’s side.

Mom called and even came to Grandpa’s house out of worry, but I ignored her.

Because they asked me, “Are you going to your part-time job properly? It’s tough if you don’t earn some money.”

Since there’s still a mortgage on the house, I want you to pay me.

They don’t provide any mental care for me as a mother at all.

Whose fault do you think this is?

Sayu also sent a message saying, “I’m worried,” but if you’re worried, come see me.

Truly, I realize it deeply.

The gap in their values and ethics.

The only one who met them every day and cared was me. They were just showing superficial affection.

Disgusting.

Well, over the past week, I followed Hanazaki-san’s instructions and set up hidden cameras and small microphones in the living room and my room at home.

If it’s lunchtime, there was no one there, so it was easy.

I see, so you’re planning to secretly film it and expose it.

Surprisingly ordinary, but it’s reliable.

But what does it mean that the 1.5 billion will come into play later?

And on the day that was to come, I received 1.5 billion at the bank.
