Chapter 816 – 816. Haruka Ishikawa 1
Minhee also became a manager.
It feels good to see everyone squealing with joy.
Moreover, Min-hee was really surprised to see Si-eun and Se-ah becoming her mother, and she gave her heartfelt congratulations.
And the way you look at me… It gets a little suspicious.
Mental education was provided immediately. Not yet. Not now.
Then the reaction was not much different from Seunghee, Mina, and Anna.
It’s a big deal. If the number of souls becomes full and stabilizes to the point where it does not fall into the bottom 20%… I think the second generation will be very upset at that time.
Anyway, that happened then, and now I’m focusing on bringing back the remaining Haruka and Aki.
First, we need to quickly fill in the missing managers.
Minhee, who was the most complicated, has ended safely, so it won’t be difficult from now on.
It won’t be difficult. However… Haruka is a little anxious.
Speaking of the experience of murder… There is. Uncles and aunts. She killed with those hands.
The problem comes after that. Those are the only two people Haruka killed with her own hands, right?
Me, Seunghee, Mina, Se-Ah, Anna, Minhee, and Aki have become quite insensitive to the act of murder.
Disappearing corpse. The guilt decreases that much.
That’s why we killed people without any hesitation.
But not him. I have almost never experienced an act called murder.
In the case of my uncle and aunt, I made the tape quality good and then processed it in a state where they couldn’t resist.
Furthermore… He doesn’t spar with Aki or anything like that.
His physical ability is truly below that of an ordinary adult man.
Even if he learns invisibility, will he be able to stab people? No matter how much I think about it, it’s impossible?
I guess I’ll have to change my ways. Fascination or… Well, I guess I should go in that direction. There is no answer.
First, let’s go in. The server is already set up, so let’s go right away.
I went to Hokkaido. But now that I think about it, I don’t know where Haruka’s house is?
You only know your uncle’s house, right? I’ve never heard where Haruka lived before that.
But, well, there is a way. All you have to do is read my uncle’s memories.
You probably know where her younger brother lived.
Fortunately, my uncle knew. Thanks to this, she was able to quickly find Haruka’s house.
A rural town surrounded by rice fields. A small, neat two-story house. Two light cars in the garage.
Umm. Simple? It’s very simple. There aren’t any tall buildings around, and it feels like it’s all rice fields.
Still, it feels more clean than unsophisticated. Well, that’s it.
It is a happy family, just like home.
Haruka’s father, mother, and Haruka. I am eating as if it is dinner time.
It was a good thing I had it for dinner. If I had come during the day, I would have had to wander around, doing school and all.
Haruka sitting at her table and holding food with chopsticks.
He’s the same age as Seunghee and Seah, right? Then it must be 3rd year of middle school. Ah… Really. She keeps feeling like a criminal.
Everyone is too young.
Anyway, I approach Haruka like that. It’s perfect that my mouth is open right now.
She put the soul orb in her mouth. The color comes back without a doubt. Good. That’s it now.
The problem is that there is no place for me to be here. It is difficult to display.
Ah. Okay. There is this. I am indeed. I can’t believe I have to do something like this.
After finishing my work, I went up to Haruka’s room. Umm. It’s a girly room.
It’s a very cute room. Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing if I stayed here?
Anna’s room was still big and familiar, but… Just coming in here feels like a crime.
Click. Time began to move.
Haruka’s room is on the second floor, and the dining table is on the first floor. But looking through the floor is not a task.
Where… How will Haruka react when she sees my work?
As expected, Haruka can’t adapt to the sudden situation.
When she saw her father and mother sitting next to her, she suddenly burst into tears.
“Dad! Mom!”
What would Haruka’s parents think of their daughter who suddenly wakes up crying while eating and calls out to them?
She was a normal girl until a little while ago.
Haruka cries while holding on to her father and mother.
Haruka’s mother consoles her daughter without knowing why. Her father looks at her with concern.
Anyway, after crying for a while, she eventually sat down at her table again. A dreamlike situation. Unbelievable things.
After wiping away her tears, she finally looks at her own food bowl.
My work, the message I created.
I wrote ‘bang’ as a side dish of rice and vegetables. A masterpiece full of my artistic soul.
That’s enough for you to understand, right? Because it was written in Korean so that Haruka’s parents wouldn’t understand it?
She suddenly picks up her rice bowl and shoves the entire rice and vegetable side dish into her mouth with chopsticks.
“It was a good meal!”
After saying hello, he runs towards the second floor of Woodangtang.
Maybe… Haruka’s parents will be dumbfounded.
Don’t you suddenly hug her and cry, and run to her room instead of eating?
Her door suddenly opens and Haruka, out of breath, looks at me.
When I put my finger to her lips with a hissing expression, she was about to scream out loud, and then she said, “Ah!” He quietly closes the door with an expression on his face.
Then he jumped up and hugged me. I’m glad it’s light… It’s dangerous.
“It’s soundproofed, so you can say whatever you want. Noise from here will be heard outside.”
“Oppa!”
Haruka hugs me tightly and shouts. She is a girl who fits comfortably in your arms.
It was like that with Seunghee and SeAH… After all, this is a crime. It’s dangerous.
But she’s just as creepy. I really… Is that your preference?
“What happened? Are you okay? Did everything you wanted to do work out?”
“Of course. That’s why you came like this.”
“I’m so happy! I can see my brother again! And I never thought I’d be able to see my dad and mom again!”
Really… This is a child for whom the word ‘natural’ is appropriate.
If Anna is bright, she is natural.
Similar yet different feeling. Is there a difference between glare and whiteness?
Anyway, the way they hugged me tightly and rubbed their cheeks… So cute. My heart hurts. Ugh.
But, that makes me even more worried.
Damn it. From now on, this little girl has to go around killing people, right?
It won’t be easy at all.
Of course, in terms of age, he was over a thousand years old… I feel strangely anxious. Indeed… Can I do it?
“Haruka. Listen carefully.”
“Yes! Yes!”
A girl sitting on my lap and looking straight at me with brightly shining eyes.
I tell her about what she has to do in the future.
It means that you must kill everyone in the world while protecting the people you want, including your parents.
And the story about the manager, the explosive spread of poisonous spores… Everything.
He doesn’t even blink while listening to that.
“… That’s right. Can you do it?”
“Of course! That means we can all meet again, right? Then we should do it!”
“Uh… Can you really do it? Really?”
“Why are you like this? I’ve lived with you for over a thousand years?”
“Yes, I know that. But… Is it possible?”
“Hmm… So the first time is hard, right?”
“That’s right. It’s difficult to master the first skill. The cost of the potion and the coins needed to learn the second skill. That alone costs a lot of money. 6,250 times, ignoring natural recovery, it’s 313 potions. The potion price alone is 626,000 coins, To learn the second skill, 100,000 to 300,000 coins are needed, which is 2,000 people.”
“That’s right. It’s not a small number. Hmm… It’s probably about a village. Hmm.”
Something… Haruka has a slightly creepy vibe.
It feels like your eyes have changed a bit just now? Especially in the part about it being one village?
“What are you thinking?”
“I think I’ve thought of a good way. But let me ask you one thing. Then, will this world start over again?”
“Right? If I want to be the last one in Akido’s recycling program, I have to give it one more spin, right?”
“Ah… That’s right. Ah, that’s right! Then shouldn’t I just go see Aki now? Where was it? That’s right! Sendai!”
“That’s… Unreasonable. Aki would be dead by now.”
“Yes!? He’s dead!? Akiga!?”
“No. He’s not really dead. The server was reset and Aki’s body was probably embodied, but since his soul wasn’t in it… He would’ve just become a corpse.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
He explained it again step by step. Since I have the soul anyway, the meaningless body will be as if it were dead.
Only then did Haruka understand.
“Hmm. Anyway, that means I won’t be able to get help from Aki. Anyway, that’s the case. Even if I kill the people in this world right now, they will all come back to life, right?”
“That’s right. That will happen.”
“Then you can kill me with peace of mind?”
… Hey. It’s so scary to say it so naturally.
“Yes.”
Still, what he said wasn’t wrong, so he smiled slightly and told me to kill him with peace of mind.
“Okay. So what do you think will happen?”
“What are you trying to do? Oh, wait a minute. Your mother is coming.”
I put down Haruka, who was riding me, disappeared, and took down the soundproofing in the room.
A knocking sound is heard soon after.
“Haruka! Are you okay?”
“Yes!? It’s okay!”
She quickly went and opened her door and smiled sweetly at her mother.
I think her mother was a little relieved to see her like that… Still, the worried expression remains the same.
“If anything happens, tell me. Don’t surprise me like before.”
“It’s okay. Nothing happened. Don’t worry.”
There’s no way I won’t be worried just because I say that.
Anyway, my mother said a few more words and went down.
When Haruka closed the door, I appeared again with the soundproofing on.
Then Haruka throws her body again like before. Oh, my.
“Even if it’s dangerous.”
“But you will accept it.”
“Yes, but.”
I hug Haruka again and continue the interrupted story.
“What are you planning to do?”
“I’m not sure yet. Please keep an eye on me. I heard you can watch everything I do anyway, right?”
“Still. I need to check if it’s possible before I do it.”
“Don’t worry. It’ll probably work out. Just watch oppa. It seems like there’s almost no chance of failure.”
“Why can’t you just say it and hide it?”
“Hmm… Isn’t this something you can say proudly? It’s a bit weird.”
I asked several more times, but in the end Haruka wouldn’t tell me.
What on earth are you trying to do? I’m worried.
“That’s right. Please tell me more about your brother.”
“What story?”
“What happened? Just from what you told me earlier, it seems like a lot of time has passed. How long has it been since I entered the ball?”
“Ha. It wouldn’t be enough to stay up all night to tell you all about it.”
“I’m fine.”
“It’s okay. You’re just an ordinary middle school student right now. Besides, starting tomorrow you’ll be busy and difficult. It won’t be easy.”
“It’s okay. It’ll be okay.”
“Isn’t it going to be okay? If you’re the only one moving, it won’t be easy to take care of everyone, including your parents.”
“I’ve already thought about it a million times. It’ll be okay. I won’t let you die this time.”
Haruka’s expression was serious.
Ah. I guess so. There is no way Haruka hasn’t thought that way in over a thousand years.
A way to save her own parents. Something she should never have done… Things like that.
You must have regretted it. She would be even more so once she had the power.
That’s right. She shouldn’t think of him as a middle school girl. You shouldn’t be confused by her natural appearance.
Because this is the problem. If she looks too cute, this problem will arise.
“Okay, then I guess I’ll just have to go now. I’m sure you’ll want to stay with your parents too.”
“Uh… Right. That’s true, but…”
Haruka slightly looks up at me while being held in my arms.
It’s obvious. She doesn’t know what he’s thinking.
Guy. I learned only strange things from Minhee. Have you gotten used to that handsome expression?
“Ugh. Yes. I understand.”
Her hand went into Haruka’s clothes.
She is a woman who openly shows the expression on her face when she gets what she wants.
Ugh. She tried not to do it because it felt like a crime… I can’t help it. She should think of it as encouragement to cheer up.
