Chapter 177: 177

Unidentified man

***---***

 

 When I woke up the next morning, the chairman and the others were already awake and the sun was already high.

 

 The terrible chill was gone, but the dullness was stuck to the core of my body.

 

 The chairman told me that I should still sleep, but the dried blood was disgusting, so I borrowed the garrison's bathroom and washed my body.

 

 When I washed away the sticky, clotted blood from my hair and body, I finally felt refreshed.

 

 

 After I got out of the bath and took out my underwear and clothes from the shadow storage and put them on, I finally felt a little better.

 

 Breakfast time had already passed in the cafeteria, but the chairman and Manon seemed to have explained the situation in advance, and they prepared a light breakfast for us.

 

 

"I'm sorry for being selfish."

 

"What are you talking about. Do you have any idea how much you've helped me, I can't return the favor with something of this level. Thank you as always."

 

 

 When I bowed to the lady in the cafeteria, she thanked me.

 

 However, in the cafeteria, there were classmates who were not going to work and were wandering around.

 

 But, I didn't have the energy to warn or argue with them today, so I'm sorry, but I'll turn a blind eye.

 

 

"Ahhh, after I eat this, I have to contact Japan ..."

 

"Didn't the teachers contact them?"

 

"Maybe. But, if I don't contact them, they'll probably get worried, and I'll have to talk to them about Takagi-san's body."

 

"You can't go back to Japan yet. You have to take it easy today."

 

"That's right, it's exactly as Yuika says. Kent, you look terrible."

 

"Yeah, I'll take it easy today."

 

 

 I didn't know because I hadn't looked in a mirror, but I was definitely feeling lethargic, and I felt like I was far from my normal condition.

 

 After finishing the meal, I made a phone call to Japan from the cafeteria so as not to worry the chairman and the others.

 

 Suzuki-san's voice echoed from the other side of the receiver before the ring tone even rang.

 

 

"Kokubu-san, umm ... are you okay?"

 

"Yes, I'm fine somehow, but the bleeding was so bad that I won't be able to go back to Japan for two or three days."

 

"Is that so, there is information that the counselor Takagi-san attacked you, but is that correct?"

 

"Yes, there's no doubt about it. It would be better if Takagi-san's body was taken there."

 

"Of course, that's true, but it will be fine after Kokubu-san's health returns. We are responsible for choosing the person who caused this incident. Please make recovery your priority. I'm really sorry."

 

"Umm, I'd like to ask you something, what kind of person was Takagi-san? Was he really a counselor?"

 

 

 Usually, when I ask her, she comes back with a resounding response, but after a few moments, Suzuki-san's reply came back.

 

 

"We are still in the investigation stage, so I can't talk about the details, but there is a possibility that someone else was impersonating him."

 

"Does that mean that a completely different person was using Takagi-san's name?"

 

"Yes, that's right."

 

"Um, does he have a wife or children?"

 

"Yes, they exist, but it seems that they don't think that the one who impersonated him was Takagi-san."

 

"Ehh, what do you mean?"

 

"The fake Takagi-san, who committed suicide there, told his wife not to contact him because he had a falling out with his parents. The real Takagi-san ran away from home when he was in high school. Since then, he seems to have become estranged from his family, and his whereabouts cannot be confirmed. When I asked the parents of the real Takagi-san to look at the photo of the fake Takagi-san, they said that he was a completely different person."

 

 

 It seemed that Takagi-san, who attacked me, was an unidentified person who used to pretend to be a psychosomatic physician, and the Metropolitan Police Department, etc. were currently investigating.

 

 The investigation had just started yesterday, but it seemed that some unnatural points had been pointed out in the process of selecting a counselor to be dispatched to Volzard.

 

 It seemed that the fake Takagi-san who tried to kill me was active as a psychosomatic physician, but there seemed to be a suspicion that he was forcibly injected into the selection of counselors to be dispatched to Volzard.

 

 It seemed that a considerable amount of money was spent in the process, and the media had already made a fuss about it.

 

 

"I can't say for sure yet, but it seems highly likely that he was an agent of some country."

 

"Does that mean that I was targeted by a country other than Japan?"

 

"The government seems to think that it's highly likely."

 

"But, why am I being targeted?"

 

"Perhaps, Kokubu-san's abilities are considered dangerous."

 

"That ... Well then, Dad ..."

 

"Don't worry. We have already assigned security guards to Kokubu Takehito-san's family.

 

"Umm, Yuika ... How about Asakawa Yuika's family?"

 

"It's okay, I've finished placing security personnel over there are well."

 

"Haa ... Thank you very much."

 

 

 According to Suzuki-san, she didn't tell my father's family or the chairman's family about it, but she had already posted security guards in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.

 

 

"But, what country would have thought that my abilities were dangerous?"

 

"We are currently investigating, and there are many countries that come to mind."

 

 

 Once I visited a place, I could move freely and instantly, and I could even transport large items.

 

 If it was a human from Earth, I could take them to a remote location with a simple procedure.

 

 Japan might monopolize the abundant resources of another world.

 

 It's possible to assassinate a VIP without leaving any trace.

 

 I wouldn't be surprised if some countries saw me as dangerous.

 

 

 However, if Takagi-san was an agent, why did he complain about me from the beginning and do something that made him stand out from the crowd.

 

 Even after coming to Volzard, he acted to impress people here, including Klaus-san.

 

 I couldn't help but feel that he was acting inconsistently for an agent.

 

 

"We will proceed with the investigation here, but, though it's fine to do so when your physical condition returns, please transport the body. We plan to try to identify the poison and identify the person based on their physical characteristics."

 

"Understood, I will contact you as soon as I recover enough to return to Japan."

 

"Yes, my best regards."

 

 

 After hanging up the phone, I turned off the power and put it away in the shadow storage.

 

 

"Kento, Takagi-san, was he a spy from some country?"

 

"I don't know yet, but I was told it's highly possible."

 

"But, if he's a spy, wouldn't he stand out too much?"

 

"I thought so too, but on the contrary, no one would think that he was a spy if he stood out that much, so maybe that was the strategy."

 

"Well, you certainly didn't think he was a spy at all."

 

 

 Even I, who had been warned by Fred beforehand, was completely unprepared at that moment.

 

 If Fred hadn't cut Takagi's arms off, my head would have been separated from my torso.

 

 If that happened, it would have been impossible to heal with self-healing, and my life would have been lost, and not only my classmates and teachers, but also the three people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not be able to return to Japan.

 

 

"Hey, Kent, you haven't brought any suspicious people with you, have you?"

 

"There are only the three people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are staying in Volzard from Japan right now, so I think they'll be fine, but I'll be on high alert."

 

 

 Manon's anxiety was natural, and I was starting to become skeptical myself.

 

 Let's have Fred and the others escort me from the shadows when I meet Miura-san and the others.

 

 

"Riche, did Klaus-san say something?"

 

"Generally speaking, I was told to tell you to concentrate on getting back in shape."

 

"I'm sorry for worrying you, tell him that I'll report back when I feel better."

 

"I understand. However, I will report on your behalf, so you don't have to rush."

 

"Yes, alright."

 

 

 Whether it was because I ate lightly or because I didn't have enough blood, I felt sleepy, so I decided to go back to the boarding house and rest.

 

 When I called out form the back door, even though it was the busy time before the store opened, Amanda-san came out with a changed expression.

 

 

"Kent, I heard you were attacked, are you okay?"

 

"Yes, as you can see, the wound has healed, but there was a lot of bleeding, so I'm not in my best condition."

 

"How about food? Did you eat properly?"

 

"Yes. I just had a light meal at the garrison's cafeteria."

 

"I see, but your complexion doesn't look good, so go back to your room and rest."

 

"That's what I intend to do. If I don't wake up, could you wake me up for dinner?"

 

"Understood. Today, I'll prepare something that's easy to digest and nutritious, so you can rest well."

 

"Thank you very much."

 

 

 When I went up the stairs and entered my room, I didn't feel like changing clothes, so I lay down on the bed in the same clothes.

 

 

"Mart, Mirt, Murt, can you warm me up?"

 

"Wafuu, Goshujin-sama, it's okay."

"Me too, I'll warm you up."

 

"Me too, me too!"

 

[ Kent-sama, we are with you, so please rest at ease. ]

 

[ The security is perfect ... Leave it to me ... ]

 

[ Please rest assured, as for suspicious people, we won't let so much as a single kitten through. ]

 

"Nero is watching over you, so it's okay, nya."

 

"Everyone, thank you ... I'm counting on you ..."

 

 

 If I had been alone, I would have been overwhelmed with anxiety, no matter how sick I was, and I wouldn't have been able to sleep.

 

 I continued to sleep soundly, and continued to sleep without dreaming until Meisa-chan woke me up.

 

 

"Kent ... Kent, dinner is ready, Kent."

 

"Nn ~ ... Is it already morning?"

 

"Mou, what are you talking about, it's night, night. It's dinner time."

 

"Eh, ah, that's right. I asked to be woken up."

 

"Kent, are you okay? Should I bring it here?"

 

"It's okay, I'll get up."

 

 

 When I got out of bed and stroked her head, Meisa-chan hugged me.

 

 Meisa-chan seemed to have worried about me too.

 

 

"I'm sorry for worrying you, Meisa-chan."

 

"Yeah, I was worried ... But, I'm glad you came home properly ..."

 

"Thank you, then, shall we have dinner?"

 

"Yes!"

 

 

 For dinner, the meat was stewed until it was runny, and there was bread like naan, and salad.

 

 After apologizing to Meline-san for worrying her, I felt like I had finally returned to the usual dining table, but my appetite hadn't returned, and I felt like I was barely able to cram it in.

 

 

"Even so, to be attacked by someone brought from the world Kent used to live in, what the hell is going on with that?"

 

"It seems that there is a high possibility that another country was pulling the strings behind the scenes, rather than a personal grudge."

 

"Is another country at war with Kent's country?"

 

"No, it's so peaceful that there's a saying 'peace idiots', but it seems that it was a superficial thing, and there seems to be a lot of things behind the scenes."

 

"It looks like ... You're talking like it's someone else's problem, but it was Kent who was attacked."

 

"That's right, but I don't feel like I'm involved in such a dark battle, so it doesn't strike home to me."

 

"Haa ... Maa, I guess your understanding hasn't caught up with this sudden happening, but anyway, you be careful from now on."

 

"Yes, more than ever, I'll make sure that all my genus are careful, so please don't worry."

 

 

 No matter what I said, there was no way they would be relieved, and Amanda-san, Meisa-chan, and Meline-san all had worried expressions on their faces.

 

 Amanda-san changed the subject as if she understood.

 

 

"Come to think of it, the forest on the west side of the city suddenly disappeared, and there was a lot of commotion, but was that Kent's doing?"

 

"Uhh, umm ... that's right."

 

"Seriously, did you start taking on the expansion work of the city?"

 

"It's not that, I'm thinking of building a house where all my genus can relax together ..."

 

"I see ... In your case, you will have at least three wives, so you need a house."

 

"Yes, I think it's still a long way off, but I've started preparing a house where everyone can live."

 

 

 Amanda-san and Meline-san agreed when I told them about my home construction plan, but Meisa-chan pouted and seemed dissatisfied.

 

 

"Kent, are you leaving our house?"

 

"Ehh, yeah, but it's not right now."

 

"But, you are leaving?"

 

"Yes, but it's close, so you can come visit anytime."

 

"Mofumofu won't be here either, right?"

 

"Yeah, but, that's right. I'll put someone in charge of security here."

 

"Really? Really really?"

 

"Yeah, really really, this place is like my Volzard parents' house, so I'm worried even if I leave."

 

"But, Kent will be gone, right?"

 

"Well, that's right. But, I'll come to play from time to time."

 

"Uuu ... Really?"

 

"Really, really, I promise."

 

"Then ... I guess it can't be helped ..."

 

 

 I promised that I'd send over a Kobold for security and come visit from time to time, and Meisa-chan finally agreed.

 

 

 After dinner, I took out my smartphone from the shadow storage and turned it on.

 

 Other than an email from Kajikawa-san expressing concern about my condition, I didn't receive any kind of message.

 

 Perhaps, they are trying to reduce my burden.

 

 

 After borrowing the smartphone, I hardly used it, but I decided to check the situation in Japan via the internet.

 

 The incident in which I was attacked by Takagi-san had already been reported in the news and caused a big uproar.

 

 Various speculations were made regarding Takagi-san's true identity, and in the process, information about his family was leaked.

 

 It seemed that Takagi-san had a wife and daughter, and the photo he showed to Klaus-san was of his real daughter.

 

 

 Speculation was spreading that Takagi-san's wife was actually an agent of a certain country, and it seemed that SNS photos had been scattered around, and people with the same name had been victims.

 

 The most problematic thing was that even the photos of Takagi-san's daughter were spreading on the internet.

 

 Takagi-san almost killed me, but I didn't blame his three-year-old daughter at all.

 

 Nevertheless, I felt angry at the act of scattering photos just for them to make noise and enjoy themselves.

 

 

 There were growing calls for the Japanese government to take responsibility for the fact that the counselor sent to care for the students harmed the students they were supposed to care for.

 

 It seemed that it was already known that Takagi-san was an unidentified person, and it seemed that the people involved in the selection process who chose such a person were also being attacked.

 

 It seemed that the people who recommended Takagi-san and some of the selection committee members were suspected of taking bribes, and they were also being targeted by the media and were being pressed for an explanation.

 

 Also, it seemed that the opposition parties were intensifying their pursuit that the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, who sent the counselor, was responsible for the incident.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, what are you looking at? ]

 

"This is a tool that allows you to see information about the world I was in."

 

[ Hohou, can you get information about distant places while saying here? What a convenient tool. ]

 

"Maa, it's certainly convenient, but since anyone can add information, there's inaccurate information mixed in, so you need to be careful when using it."

 

[ I see, so sometimes it's mixed with false rumors. ]

 

"Or rather, if you don't think more than half of it is fake, you'll be swayed by the information."

 

 

 Speculation, reasoning, delusion, anything was possible on the internet, so it might be better to take things that were poorly supported, such as being published on multiple media, with a grain of salt.

 

 Among the information, there were people who claimed to be classmates staying in Volzard, but it seemed that they were not all genuine, and the contents of the writing was also quite suspicious.

 

 On the other hand, the writings of people who were actually at the scene were strangely realistic, and the moment I was attacked unintentionally crossed my mind and gave me goosebumps.

 

 Even from a distance, they could see my neck was slashed open, my blood was splattered all over, and I was in a terrible state.

 

 

 Regarding Takagi-san's final moments, both arms were cut off, and a large amount of blood also spurted out.

 

 It seemed that Takagi-san was standing upright with no arms, but when he spit out clotted black blood from his mouth, he fell flat on his back and started convulsing.

 

 I confirmed with Reinhardt that there was no mistake in the situation, and he must have put poison in his mouth.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, how about turning that Takagi's corpse into an undead genus and trying to find out behind-the-scenes information about the organization? ]

 

"Hmm ... I don't want to do that."

 

[ Hou, why is that. ]

 

"Takagi-san's body will be dissected after being transported to Japan."

 

[ Dissected ...? ]

 

"Yes, in order to identify the cause of death, the type of poison, etc., the stomach is split open to examine the condition and contents of the internal organs. This time, the perpetrator of the incident killed himself with poison. However, since he was a person whose true identity was unknown, I have a feeling that he will be dissected in more detail."

 

[ It's a matter of examining the corpse in detail. ]

 

"Yes, after being dissected, it is said that the body will be sutured and returned to the bereaved family, but I think it would be painful for the bereaved family to have the body cut up, even if it was for examination."

 

[ I see, Kent-sama, you feel reluctance to turn him into an undead or a genus for the same purpose as being dissected. ]

 

"Besides, my genus are like family to me, so even thought he committed suicide because he didn't want to talk about it, I made him my genus and forcibly extracted information. I don't want to do such a thing. It's an act that cuts off my genus, so I don't want to do it even if I won't understand the other side of the case."

 

[ If Kent-sama thinks like that, then you should do what you think. ]

 

"Yeah, I want to finish transporting the body tomorrow, so even though I'm not really sleepy, I'm going to rest."

 

 

 I sent an email to Kajikawa-san asking him to arrange for the photos of Takagi-san's daughter to be deleted from the internet, and turned off my smartphone.

 

 Tonight, Meisa-chan would sleep in her room so that I could sleep comfortably.

 

 It's true that it might be a little painful to be used as a pillow today, so while I was a little relieved, I also felt a little lonely.
