Takezawa's Ghost - Episode 29
The difficulty of this revenge has increased dramatically, and it would be difficult for me to complete it alone.
　Especially Kaori Kondo.
　He’s established himself as the president of a publicly listed company.
　Men in black suits are always by his side, and they haven’t even been able to break into his luxury apartment.
“What should I do?”
“What? Is there something bothering you?”
　It was out loud.
　Even though I’m at work.
　It was Aida who responded to that monologue.
　Aida-san is possessed by the ghost of a vengeful kid who drove me to the point of being hospitalized.
　The kid hates the person who killed him.
　He is a kind senior who always takes care of me.
　The brat was still clinging to Aida’s back, glaring at him.
　People would sometimes ask me when it was my turn, but I would brush it off because no matter what I thought, my promise to Michi should take priority.
“I’ll do whatever I can for you, Takezawa, who always works so hard.”
　kind.
　But someday I’ll have to beat this guy half to death…
　I feel a little blue.
　If that happens, I might get carried away and kill this person. So, before that happens, it might be a good idea to make some connections outside of work.
　It was exactly when we needed a living person to help us.
“I’d like to discuss this briefly. Can I have some time during my lunch break?”
　Aida has a blank look on his face.
“What is this? You said you would give me advice.”
　Aida-san comes to his senses and scratches his head.
“Oh. Sorry. I thought that was unusually honest of you. But I’m glad.”
　He gives me a crumpled smile.
　Although his face was noticeably wrinkled, I sensed a certain amount of life experience and felt that he was someone I could rely on.
“Oh. A ghost’s agent of revenge. Sounds interesting.”
“Is that so?”
　Aida-san believed my story, which most people would have dismissed as a silly lie.
　I’m glad that I feel trusted.
　However, I couldn’t bring myself to say, “Well, it’s not a very pleasant experience, because I got beaten up by the ghost of the kid you ran over.”
　You don’t just suddenly start talking about a turning point in someone else’s life. That story has to include the fact that a ghost is possessing Aida-san.
　I don’t know if it worked, but he talked about a recent experience where he had just avoided the presence of kids.
　The kid glares at me.
　I know. It’s my fault this time.
　I’ll buy you some snacks later, so please forgive me.
“Ah, that’s interesting. So, you want me to help you get revenge on that woman called Kondou Kaori, right? What should I do specifically?”
“We haven’t decided on the details yet. First, I’d like you to meet Michi before recruiting Aida-san.”
“Yeah. Well, greetings are important. Of course I’ll go.”
　We nodded and decided on a date.
　It’s 10:30 am next Saturday.
　To be honest, I was feeling conceited, thinking that I was becoming more and more grown-up by doing things in such an orderly manner.
　He’s an idiot after all.
　First of all, he doesn’t even have the simple consideration of checking with Michi first.
　The price of that arrogance will be paid in full on Saturday.
“… You’re pretty damn good, murderer.”
　On the appointed day, Michi was at our house to greet Aida, exuding an unusually dark aura.
