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 9

The house where I spent my time is no longer a place where people can live.

Countless doodles with posters.

A broken mailbox with a shattered window.

Fortunately, there are no people like reporters around.

Actually, until a few days ago, they were staking out around this house and ambushing my grandfather for interviews, but recently, with a big celebrity getting involved in an affair and a politician being caught in a corruption scandal, it seems the media’s attention has shifted to those stories.

Even so, this major uproar involving the governor is still being covered by some media outlets and online.

Makabe’s dad, you really had a rough time, huh?

No, no, is it my fault for raising such a son?

By the way, Mom and Sayu moved. It might be more accurate to say they ran away in the night.

According to Ms. Hanazaki’s information, he is in a cheap apartment in the neighboring prefecture.

You really did your research, Hanazaki-san.

It’s like being a detective.

That abandoned house still has a mortgage remaining, but it seems that Grandpa will sell the land to settle it.

You didn’t rely on my money. You said you had already paid enough.

While I was lounging around in my new place, I got a call from my mom.

Hello

“Hey, Rik-kun. Can we talk for a moment? I’ve been going through a lot, and I don’t have any money. Could you help me out a little, even just a bit?”

Various, huh?

It must be the moving costs.

“Why don’t you work?”

“Ugh, don’t ask for the impossible. Because…”

“If I get a proper job, the child welfare center and the police will find out. Mom is on the run.”

“Did you know!?”

This is also information from Ms. Hanazaki.

Someone who saw the video reported it to the child consultation center. Naturally, it also reached the police.

However, unfortunately, both the consultation office and the police were slow to respond, and as a result, we ended up losing Mom.

“You’re such an idiot. The police basically don’t get involved in civil matters. If you run away, the police will get serious, you know? I wonder if they can charge you with child abuse and kidnapping. Why don’t you look it up on your phone?”

“Well, well, the people at the consultation center don’t listen to me at all, and the magazine people come and it’s so annoying… I mean, I’ve told you so many times, right? I’m not abusing Sayu!! We just had s3x with Makabe-kun!! And Makabe-kun is a minor too, so s3x between minors isn’t a crime!!”

“Oh, I see. So, if Mom had s3x with a minor, it wouldn’t be a crime?”

“Ah, if I say this, then they say that. Just like him (my husband)!! I don’t know anything about the law!! We were all doing it with mutual consent, so that’s enough, right!! … Why, why doesn’t anyone listen to me properly? They just do whatever they want.”

I’m crying.

Hey, hey, I’m the one who wants to cry here.

The one who was doing whatever they wanted is now acting all high and mighty.

Basically, people run away because they have a guilty conscience.

I feel like an idiot for digging my own grave.

“Sa, Sayu has to be supported too, you know? You’re my big brother, so at least for Sayu’s sake, you should provide some money…”

“Then, come pick it up. The money.”

“N-no, as long as you transfer the money, that’s fine.”

“Why? Why don’t you try to meet in person?”

『But…』

I know.

You’re scared, aren’t you? You don’t trust me, do you?

You might have thought about having the police wait at the meeting place, right?

You would come to that kind of thinking, wouldn’t you? Since you can betray people so easily.

I am utterly disgusted.

A person who is about to receive charity is avoiding risks.

“Got it, I’ll transfer the money.”

“Thank you!! As expected, Rikkun is so kind!! So, how much are you going to transfer?”

10 yen

“……Don’t mess with me!! Who do you think is responsible for this!? Mom just fell in love with Makabe-kun, right??”

“If that’s all you understand, you’re seriously done for. You didn’t just use my part-time job earnings for Makabe. You also betrayed Dad and laughed at him with Sayu.”

“That’s not true at all!!”

“Even if I leave home, all you care about is money. Makabe is more important to you than your own son, right? Rely on Makabe.”

I got annoyed just saying that.

This guy’s misdeeds are flashing back.

“Basically, if they find out I made the transfer, they’ll treat me like your accomplice.”

“I’m talking about becoming a collaborator.”

“Then show some sincerity. Trust me and come meet me in person. How selfish can you be? If you were ready to bow your head and ask for forgiveness in person, I might have considered it, but it’s impossible now.”

“You ungrateful child!!”

“That’s right.”

“I shouldn’t have given birth to you!!”

When you actually say it, it hits hard.

“Thank you for giving birth to me. Thanks to you, I’ve become a millionaire. Unlike you.”

『Tch…』

“Live the rest of your life drinking mud and living disgracefully. You once sent me to hell. Now you taste hell too. Try living every day in fear of being found.”

“I don’t care what happens to Sayu!!”

The call got disconnected there.

Don’t bring up my sister. It’s your own fault.

Another two weeks have passed.

In the meantime, I haven’t done anything.

I haven’t finished my revenge.

According to Ms. Hanazaki, it seems important to let them swim a bit.

They’re all in hell.

I’m desperately trying to regain some semblance of peace.

It seems that the way forward will be decided based on the choices they make.

Hanazaki-san, what a terrifying person.

However, I never intended to finish it quickly from the beginning either.

I’ll make you suffer for a longer time, slowly and thoroughly.

“Hmm, 24 inches is still too small after all.”

While watching the TV I couldn’t help but buy online, I’m eating pizza.

As expected, having only a smartphone for entertainment was so boring that there was nothing I could do about it.

“I want to buy good audio equipment… I also want a new computer. And maybe a gaming chair too…”

I have as much money as I want, so I can buy anything I like, but if I buy too much, my house will get cluttered and cramped.

Cleaning must be tough too, so we should take it easy.

“Still, what should I do about the new house? Maybe a big house in the countryside… no, but cleaning seems like it would be a hassle. Wait a minute? Maybe I should hire a housekeeper? Hmm.”

While I was thinking about such carefree things, I received a message from Ms. Hanazaki.

The door is unlocked. Come over.

I wonder what it is.

I leave my room and enter Hanazaki-san’s house next door.

Immediately, the Pomeranian Meke came to greet me.

At the entrance, there are two pairs of women’s shoes…

“Oh, over here, over here.”

Called by Ms. Hanazaki, I went to the dining room.

So,

“Murano…”

Makabe’s girlfriend, Murano, who deceived me, was trembling with her knees hugged to her chest.

As soon as he noticed me, Murano’s eyes widened.

“Fu, Fujii…”

Why is Murano here?

Besides, something seems off.

Not just dark circles under the eyes.

My skin is all messed up, and my hair is a total mess.

Moreover, they’re quite thin, and what’s with those red spots on their arm?

It’s like a completely different person.

Murano was supposed to be quite a beauty even at school.

“Ha… ha…”

Breathing heavily, feeling excited.

Hey, hey, you’re not planning to attack me or anything, right?

“Don’t worry, Fujii-kun. This guy isn’t getting enough nutrition and doesn’t have any strength.”

“Is that the problem? What happened to this guy?”

Ms. Hanazaki groaned, “Hmm.”

“To put it simply… STDs and drugs.”
