Takezawa's Ghost - Episode 8
Someone good for you may not be good for others.
Although the father is kind to his family, he has no qualms about hurling harsh words at his subordinates at work, driving them to depression.
Isn’t this a common story?
Aida was no exception to this rule.
To me, he was a benefactor, but to that boy, he was a villain who had killed him.
“Traffic accident?”
“Yeah. That girl was run over and killed by Aida-san five years ago.”
And he was driving while drunk.
It continues:
…Well, maybe he’s a good match for me.
But now a long-standing mystery has been solved.
Why is a capable man like Aida working in such a dingy factory?
Because he has a criminal record.
And it’s an extremely heavy one.
“I see…”
“Yeah……”
“Eh? Is the report over?”
“Eh? Yes.”
The ghost tilts its head slightly in response.
“Well, didn’t you ask me what I should do to get him to leave Aida-san?”
“I won’t listen. I mean, it’s only natural that I’d be possessed.”
“O-oh.”
surely.
If you killed someone, you can’t complain even if you get cursed to death.
Even assuming he has completed his sentence, Aida has done something that will never be forgiven.
So it’s not right to exclude boys.
It’s not right, but to me, that’s no reason not to do it.
I’m not a champion of justice or anything, and I have no intention of pretending to be a good person at this point.
So you do the wrong thing.
I feel bad for the boy, but I would prefer if he disappeared in the future.
I’ll think about what I can do to achieve this, even if it’s just stupid.
Don’t stop thinking just because you’re stupid.
Even an idiot can come up with something if he keeps thinking about it. He doesn’t know if it’s a good idea.
“…Can I ask you one more thing?”
“? Yeah.”
I say this to the ghost who has a better sense of right and wrong than I do.
“Tell her that we’re going to help her curse Aida to death.”
Cut the flesh and break the bone.
If things continue like this, Aida-san will be cursed to death.
I don’t want anyone so kind to me to die.
But you have to make them suffer to a certain extent.
By offering to help, he gains the boy’s trust. After that, he begs him to spare his life.
This is the route to Aida-san’s survival that I, an idiot, desperately came up with.
Two ghosts got caught up in this selfish plan and brought them to my room.
“Let me help you torture that guy. I hate him, too.”
Let’s talk in our living room.
The boy stared at me without blinking.
It seems like they aren’t trusted.
“It’s okay. This guy is weird, but he’s useful.”
I don’t mind.
I don’t care that people call me an old man even though I’m only 30 years old.
Then, the ghosts nodded to each other, and the boy finally spoke to me.
“I’m letting you join because this lady asked me to, but I don’t trust you at all.”
He tries his best to make his voice sound gruff, but in the end, he’s still a child whose voice hasn’t yet gone through puberty. It’s almost cute.
“That’s fine. It’s abnormal for someone to trust others so easily.”
“…”
The boy remains silent.
In this case, it’s best not to try to force yourself to become friends with them. From their point of view, they will likely be put off by the fact that you are a living person, and they will likely also dislike adults (even if they are just old).
So, I’ll just say this.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of becoming friends with you. I’m just going to use you. So, you don’t have to try and force yourself to approach me.”
“Right? It’s weird, but it’s better than the average old man, right?”
The ghost is making some confusing assessments.
Also, she called me “uncle” again.
Let me tease you a little.
“I was just thinking, you guys just cover each other and glare at each other, do you have any special abilities? Like, you can move fast or something.”
The two of them fall silent.
I guess ghosts aren’t such a big deal after all.
“…Then I can do it.”
The boy whispers.
“Yeah?”
“If you can move things, you can.”
law.
“Is that something heavy?”
“If you try.”
“Hmm.”
The method this time has been decided.
