Volume 4 - CH 5

A Gift Holder’s Crime

“My sister would never kill herself! No matter how I think about it, you must have done something to her right!?”

“And what is that something, Old man? I’m tired of you coming to my door and falsely accusing me every day already.”

Every single day, a strange old man who claims to be Oba-san’s little brother would come to my house.

Normally, I can just turn him away and that would be the end of it but today he’s being persistent.

“My sister was scared of you……..she was so scared that when she came to talk to me. She kept repeating herself that she and her husband might be killed you know!? And now you tell me that both of them committed suicide!? That’s just impossible no matter how I think about it!? Hideyori, it was you who killed them right!?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. I was at home when they committed suicide. There were eyewitnesses too. Please stop trying to blame their death on me and go home.”

“Quit playing innocent already!”

Haa…….

What an annoying siscon.

Is this world filled with siscons or something…….?

I was thinking of using [Dominating Decree] to compel him to leave or silence him but that would be too boring.

That’s why I’ve been thoroughly looking into this old man’s weaknesses.

“My sister was scared that you might have a Gift as well.”

“Hm?”

Gift, hearing that word my alertness soared up immediately.

That old hag, she’d been running her mouth huh.

“If you used a Gift to kill them then your alibi would be worthless!? There’s already been a precedent with a guy who can [Compel others to commit suicide] with his Gift too.”

“Hou…….”

A Gift that [Compel others to commit suicide] huh……..

How dull.

That’s just an inferior version of my Gift.

This just made me feel how great and powerful my Gift is.

“Even if that’s not the exact Gift you have, I’m still correct that you have some kind of Gift right? I’m reporting you to the [Bureau of Gift Control]. A criminal Gift Holder like you will be treated like a felon.”

“……….”

“What,……..why are you grinning like that, what’s so funny!?”

What’s so funny? It’s your puny brain that thinks you would win against me if you report me to the Bureau obviously.

My aunt was an idiot.

And it turned out that her younger brother is the same.

“It’s just that an associate of mine just contacted me you see.”

“Associate?”

“That’s right, she’s technically my girlfriend you see. She said she’s coming over.”

When I said that the door to my house was opened.

Attracted by the sound, the old man also turned to look.

“Ah, Hideyori-kun, hi.”

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you Emi.”

“Ehehe”

Emi’s pigtail shook as she bashfully laughed in reply. Her face, hands, and legs were stained with blood.

——-she’s also dragging something behind her.

“W, Wait!? Oi!?”

“Hey, Oji-san! Stop with the sexual harassment.”

Said Emi as she swatted the old man’s hand that was reaching out to what was behind her.

“It looked like you left her in the car huh. That’s no good, you know, Oji-san? Leaving your cute daughter alone in the car like that.”

“Sakuya…….?”

“I ended up breaking the side window, sorry about that.”

Emi apologized and lowered her head but the old man simply looked at the girl she was dragging behind her.

“Oi……..did you kill her!? Did you kill my Sakuya!?”

“Ahh………your daughter resisted so I left her half-death you see. You are overreacting Oji-san.”

“M,…….Master.”

The girl turned her face to look up at the old man. Her face was smeared with blood and tears.

Seeing that, the old man immediately exploded in anger.

“Youuuuuuu! Not only my sister, you even hurt Sakuya!?”

“Ah, I don’t need that kind of outburst. [Stand still. Keep your mouth shut and watch].”

“!?”

Finally, Emi dragged in the old man’s weakness.

This is the moment I enjoy most when tormenting someone.

“Fuhehe, with all your theorizing and what you’re experiencing right now, I think that you’ve already guessed it but this is my Gift. No one can defy my order.”

“Kyahahaha! Oji-san can’t resist even if Hideyori-kun tells you to murder your daughter you know. You lose”.

“———–!”

The old man tried to say something but with my order in place, he couldn’t open his mouth.

The victory is mine.

TLN: Yes, this is from the game’s timeline.
