Takezawa's Ghost - Episode 4

“I said too much yesterday. I’m sorry.”

I bow my head at the door.

It’s a perfect 90 degrees. I hope this conveys a little bit of sincerity…

<It’s okay. You’re right.>

The ghost responds, as always, in beautiful handwriting.

It was good.

Also, I would have been really scared if he had decided to keep quiet.

<But I want your help. For some reason, I feel like I can trust you. I’m a weak spirit, so I can’t curse and kill myself, and relying on a yakuza-like person is…scary.>

I’ll wait until we get to know each other a little better before saying something like, “I think they’re scarier than you.”

Even an idiot like me can read the atmosphere.

“Okay. I’ll do what I can. I know it sounds a bit like asking you to do something I can’t do, but can I ask you to do it for me?”

I saw that boy today.

That’s something I can’t do on my own.

I don’t want to kill anyone, but I’m willing to make some concessions if it will help Aida-san.

That’s how much I owe that person.

<Got it>

“Yeah. The deal is done.”

And so we are.

Humans and ghosts came to use each other.

<Kanzaki Miiko. Her address at the time was Room XX-XX-XX-XXX, ⚪⚪ City, Saitama Prefecture. She has an easily influenced personality and is the type who will do anything unethical for the sake of her group leader.>

“…Hmm.”

Well, he’s a normal guy.

Just a regular jerk.

<Kanzaki Miiko was a low-ranking member of the group, but she managed to make a place for herself by being the one to bully me. She was also the manager of the baseball team.>

Bullying.

The ghost’s reasons for revenge were not unusual, but common.

As long as human society exists, this negative cycle will undoubtedly continue.

This guy seems to have been the victim of such a foolish act.

“At first, she was apologizing in a low voice. But after a few times, Kanzaki Miiko started to enjoy it… Of course, she was violent, but she also made him eat bugs and had mud smeared on her face…”

His once neat handwriting gradually became rough.

I wouldn’t even go so far as to say that what this guy says…well, what he writes is credible, but I sense an immense amount of negative energy emanating from these words.

You might as well believe it.

If you don’t believe it, the conversation won’t move forward.

“Okay. First, let’s search for that person’s name on social media.”

<SNS?>

“Didn’t this exist in your time? It’s a convenient feature that allows even a nobody to express their thoughts.”

That is why fools make careless statements and leave behind information.

Because I’m an idiot, I just registered and took a look.

If you just watch it, it will kill some time.

“Um, Kanzaki Miiko… is she in here?”

When I searched on the social networking site with the most users, several people came up.

It’s hard to tell the difference between the icons being anime characters or landscapes, but some have photos of their faces. Probably not of celebrities, but of themselves.

I wait for a reply without any expectations.

It’s probably not going to be that easy to find.

<Third from the bottom>

However, it seems the other person was even dumber than I expected.

People who bully others shouldn’t use their real names on social media.
