Chapter 22
After watching the final moments for a short while with an uninterested look, I stepped away from the scene, shaking my head . I could hear the sound of sirens from a distance . Returning to her abode, I put the knife back in its place . And finally, taking the safe I had kept on the desk, I returned back home . Sure enough, just what kind of things would that crazy woman be hiding in such a safe… money?
A safe that was thoroughly locked up by that Akemine . It has to be something as important as money and the like . Thus, I opened it up using the ‘Master Key’ . What lay inside were a bunch of documents and envelopes . Checking out the documents, I found out that there were a list of names of the members of the social parties . And there was also a collection of documents and proof regarding the involvement of the yakuza . I guess this is what one might call a bombshell being dropped . Seems like she was preparing countermeasures just in case her relationship with them really did turn sour at some point .
These are the perfect materials for getting the yakuza that sponsored the social parties arrested . It’s just… although the documents regarding the party members were exactly what seemed to be — a list of names, the names of powerful people that she had connections with as a means of getting funding were not among them . Of course, including the politician I had transformed into .
Either way, as I thought about how politicians would easily be able to slip away at a moment’s notice, I took out the documents that were kept inside the envelopes besides ones prior .
There, the information about the drug Akemine herself had concocted was written . Even if it could be something impossible from people higher up, they were documents that she and the yakuza would be able to settle scores with .
If so, then there’s no helping it if it takes some more time . It was about 8 AM so, utilizing the post office, I sent various copies to the broadcasting stations, police stations, newspaper companies, and also just in case, famous magazine publishers . It was a pain in the ass to send one copy at a time, but since I couldn’t use my computer, there weren’t any other methods available .
With this, the bribable politicians should all be forced to hush up and retract back, pinning the blame onto their subordinates for the transgressions . Recalling all the dramas I had watched in the past of similar genre, I returned back home .
Anyhow, there’s no way for my existence to be leaked . The game always guards me when it comes to actions pertaining to a capture . I have that conviction… that at the very least, that would be the case for actions others than murder, rape and similar such foulplay that would settle things too easily .
Either way, with this, Kusora will no longer have to be bossed around by her .
With the sudden spark of joy awakening within me, as I was about to close up the safe in order to throw it away, I noticed a single memo pad placed within it . As I took the memo pad, that was placed underneath all the documents thus making it hard for me to notice it at first, out onto my hand, I found something written in someone’s actual handwriting .
Looks like some kind of organization chart that’s drawn up on it .
『Advocators of the underworld // Government funds…

Takashi Kai – And me』 [1]
The entire thing was written right there for me . That is… the memo that Akemine herself had prepared . And on top, were the names of various different politicians . Names that were not on the membership registry . It even had the name of the one I transformed into on it .
No matter superpower Akemine was, she was unable to gather evidence behind all of these people . As I scanned over it for any possible minute details, I noticed something written down above the names of the politicians but had traces of being erased . Thinking about it a little, it felt kinda unnatural . Something written down in pencil but later erased . I could but at the same time could not see it, so I tried to gently smear it over with a pencil, having it placed atop my desk . And thus, the erased characters were once again visible . No sooner than having my eyes land on it, I ended up dropping the memo pad from my hand . I was too overwhelmed with shock .
The name that was written above bigshot politicians .
Because that name was…
Kusora Yurea .
— A few days ago .
On the day when Hasegawa was appointed to be a member of the social parties .
1 hour before the opening of the party .
A single woman accompanied by bodyguards appeared at the top floor of the building . And Akemine, as soon as she took notice of this, scampered hurriedly towards the scene .
“For you to have all the way here, is there something the matter?”
“I’m bored . So I thought of coming over to take a look at the faces of men who have lost all reason and drowned into madness . ”
“Is that so… Of course, please help yourself . ”
Fidgeting along the way, Akemine guided her to the VIP room . However, the woman shook off her hand .

“Not that place . I’ll be playing around outside of the room . ”
“Yes? That’s…?”
The woman made a strained smile at the puzzled Akemine .
“Would you care to dress me up as a woman intending to fool around with men? More appropriately, because I plan to stroll around the place and enjoy myself . ”
“I’m afraid I can’t let that pass . If the men misunderstand something and come assaulting you, then what do you plan to…”
At those words, bodyguards standing behind her immediately pointed their guns at her . As if she was saying that she had no need to worry about such a thing .
“I see you like to talk, woman . Aren’t you getting quite ahead of yourself these days?”
“I sincerely apologize!”
Akemine’s skin turned pale as she bowed down .
“Kimoto-san, I’m incredibly bored . May I wash it off here for a bit?”
The woman made a gesture with her hands as if to tell her to raise her head as she said so .
“That’s… If you could give me a bit more…”
Akemine could not answer her . That was because she had absolutely no idea what was going through this woman’s head .
“Lend me some clothes . A dress that’s similar to the one you’re wearing . ”
As she said so, she tossed off the worn out parka that she had been wearing till then . Her hair unkempt with the traces of a hat being worn, no matter who looked at her, they’d think of her attire as really shabby . Even so, her beauty could not be hidden .
“Could you also set my hair? I feel like this kind of appearance isn’t appropriate for a place like this . ”
“Ah, yes! Please come here . ”
Afterwards, Akemine guided her to the room where all the girls that would keep the men company were gathered with prudence . And after 1 hour, the party commenced . Appropriately dressed up for the occasion, she walked around the entire top floor to her heart’s content, checking out the faces of those beastly men as if she was sightseeing .
However, her visage was very quickly drained of all its curiosity .
“How dull…”
As she muttered those words as if that was her catchphrase, there was a sudden spark of curiosity in her eyes . The face of a single man that was being guided by Akemine came into view . A face that she was aware of . And immediately, she tailed her, finally uttering the words at her who sat over the man as though riding a horse .
“Madam! They’re looking for you in the VIP room . Please leave matters here to me . ”
With those words, she grabbed the puzzled Akemine’s arm and dragged her out of the room . Once out of the room, with her arm still being grasped, she said…
“W-What happened? To want to keep a man like that company…”
“Hmm? It piqued my interest a bit . Is that a no?”
“N-No . But incidentally, is he someone you know…?”
“No, not particularly . ”
Saying so, she held out her hand . Akemine made an inquisitive expression, causing her to speak with an irritated face .
“The drug? You intended to make him have it in the end, didn’t you? I’ll make him take it . ”
“Eh? Really? Then is he really not someone you know…?”
“That’s what I said!”
Relaxing her dubious expression a little, Akemine placed the drug on her hand .
“Come back after about 10 minutes later . ”
“I understand . ”
“That’s right, once you return, I think… you’ll probably see me stripped naked, so I want you to make me wear them back with my scar as an excuse . ”
“Yes?”
“Just do as I say!”
“I understand . ”
She had no idea what she was planning to do, but it was impossible for her to disobey her . Slightly bowing, she parted ways and left the room’s vicinity .
“What a dull woman…”
Facing the retreating Akemine, she shook her head in disappointment and returned to the room where the man lay once again .
