Takezawa's Ghost - Episode 30
 The night I decided to bring Aida into the middle.
“Why do I need to borrow the power of such a guy?”
 My ghost was furious.
 This time, Michi has done nothing wrong, so I can’t use my usual logical arguments to criticize her.
“Sorry. I should have gotten your permission first.”
“…”
 I still can’t see his face, but I can tell he’s annoyed he’s been so far.
 Oh no.
 I’ve never felt scared of this guy before, but he is just plain scary.
 However, it wasn’t the fear of ghosts or anything like that; it was more like the feeling you get when you’ve upset your family.
 Unlike their son, my parents have decent jobs and are good people who have never committed violence.
 It’s more frightening if you make those people angry than delinquents or the like.
 This is because when you anger someone who is usually kind, you are forced to realize that there is something wrong with you.
“I’m truly sorry. I’ll tell Aida-san to pretend this never happened.”
 That’s all an idiot like me could do.
“… No. Bring him along. I want to talk a bit.”
“Yes”
 I was curious about what he was going to talk about, but since I had made a serious mistake, all I could do was answer immediately.
“… You’re pretty damn good, murderer.”
 And these were the first words Michi said to Aida-san when he visited our house.
 By the way, Aida can only hear Michi’s voice.
 I heard this from Machida-san, but, if a ghost sends out a strong will, even people who don’t have psychic abilities can sense its presence.
 Although Aida has been possessed by the kid for a long time, he only feels a heavy weight on his back, so he probably has almost no psychic powers.
 To talk to Aida, Michi unleashes her grudge from the past.
 I wish he would show that same aggressiveness when it comes to getting his revenge, but having spent a short time with him, I guess it can’t be helped.
 Michi only puts in effort when it’s for the benefit of others.
 When I was almost killed by a kid.
 When defeating Kunekune.
 These two things are not to Michi’s advantage.
 If you had to say, you could owe me a favor, but the benefits and risks don’t match.
 There is no ulterior motive, and they act purely out of goodwill.
 It’s a thought process I can’t understand.
 This time, that same principle of behavior is directed at kids.
 Michi has become strong like this.
 Aida-san, I’m sorry, but you may not be able to be saved.
“…”
 Aida-san wasn’t intimidated by the aura and just stared in the direction of the voice, in other words, at Michi.
“Junsuke Araki”
 The name Michi suddenly blurted out.
 Although it was the first time I had heard that name, it felt strangely familiar, as if I had heard it many times before and was being called.
“That’s the name of the child you ran over. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten.”
 I see. That kid’s name is Araki Junsuke.
 It couldn’t fit any better.
 That’s just my opinion, but I wonder if Aida-san will panic.
 The name of the child he killed.
 It’s hard to imagine anything more traumatic than this.
“…What should I do?”
 However, Aida does not panic.
 It’s as if I knew this moment would come.
“You killed a child with your car. You’ll die in your car, too.”
 Die.
 I may have been shocked to hear those words come out of Michi’s mouth.
 Because cold sweat was dripping from the soles of my feet.
 The parts of the body where cold sweat breaks out are different for each person, but for me it comes from the soles of my feet.
 My socks are wet, and it feels disgusting.
“I understand. But I have one request to make.”
 Aida accepts death within seconds.
 It seems he has already made up his mind.
 When did they decide that?
 When did you walk into this room?
 When did I ask you for advice?
 Or the moment he ran over and killed Araki Junsuke?
“…”
 It’s unclear whether Michi’s silence is a confirmation or a denial.
 There are so many things I don’t understand today.
 Aida seemed to take this as a positive and made the following suggestion.
“Let me destroy your enemy’s hideout.”
