Chapter 10. Blood.

[10th 8am]

Goo-wow!

Gaga, gaga, gaga!

Gashern!

Shut up.

Too loud.

He is awakened to sleep by groans from the room next to him throughout the night, and in the morning, construction sounds from outside stimulate the tympanic membrane.

It was the worst hotel.

It's just a cheap hotel and there's constant noise.

I woke up scrubbing my confused eyes.

Cheap hotels can't be loud after all. We need to find a house right away.

The same type of room I lived in in in real life has worn me out. So I visited real estate near downtown.

"You're looking for a cheap place to rent, aren't you?

"Yes."

It's fine if it's narrow. Because it would be satisfying if it resembled the room where I originally lived. The real estate agent nodded and introduced me to some properties. The guarantor asked for it on ice. Thanks to the power her seal had, there was no problem at all.

"You're in luck! There is one good room in that price range. This is the rent."

"Hmm. I think it's a little expensive, too"

A little more expensive than the last room. Speaking of good points, as close as it gets to downtown?

"In the meantime, I'd like to take a look at the room before deciding"

"Okay. Do so!

I followed the real estate agent to see the room. The previous room was on the hill where the apartment was assembled, so the traffic was worse, but the stop was also close and in a very good position here.

The room was the same size as before. I just need to buy in the bed because all my luggage is gone, so I also feel like I'm going to feel rather wide while I live.

"It's the best room in a similar price range. If you seem to be able to afford a little more on your budget, there are many more recommended rooms, but the price range you want is the price range. Ha-ha-ha!"

That being said, I'm not willing to raise the price range. That's enough.

"Really? Bye. Here we go."

I decided immediately because there seemed to be no special problem.

*

That's how I got a new room.

Looking at the cancer room, I feel rather spacious, even though it's about the same size as the previous room. All you have to do is put the bed here.

I don't need a desk or anything at all.

So I would rather be able to use it more widely than before.

I also burned all my clothes, so I immediately came out downtown to buy the clothes and beds I needed.

Then he activated the [Scooter] as well. Instead, shouldn't we always be the Lord?

But, well, it's a fact that we also need beds and clothes.

Health: 2400

Charm: 722

Holdings: 180,281,030 yen

Level up points were used to increase health from 2100 to 2400.

And one of the biggest changes due to this level up is that the [Scouter] information in the Nine Skies is now readable!

Nine Skies Rock Love

Age: 20

Boyfriend: None

Occupation: (ix) Successor of the Vacant Gate

Tactical difficulty: A

Place of residence: not at present level

Phone number: not allowed at current level

Tactical Information: Not allowed at current level

Favor: Not at current level

Of course, so much so that the name that was unknown came up and the profession was displayed.

However, I think it developed considerably compared to when the message that all professions, boyfriends and names were not possible at the current level was only displayed.

Because if you raise the level just a little bit more, the likes will eventually be released as well.

[10th 6pm]

I came home without being able to spot any particular target of attack.

But for some reason, the water was leaking from the ceiling.

The day was not leaking, so it felt like it started leaking at night.

I'm frightened.

I immediately pushed him into real estate.

"No, I didn't know that either. Looks like the landlord hid it, so you should talk to the landlord in person. You should be able to request repairs."

"I'll let you terminate the contract"

"That could be going to trial, right? I hope the landlord cancels it soooo much...... Because I'm a little bit of a habitual person."

"No, habit or not, it doesn't matter. What are you kidding me about letting you contract while hiding the flaws? I get it. I'm going to go to trial!

You think I can demand a repair? If I asked for a fix, would you give me a reason to escape?

Anyway, it's a clear M.O.

Real estate agents and landlords came out of real estate after a big fight because they seemed like conspirators.

If you don't think I'm following you.

[ROAD] You can do it, but I let it go because I'm angry. I will embody justice for you. Definitely not.

Of course, I had to look for a house apart from that, so I visited other real estate.

"This way. What do you say? For now, the location is close to downtown. Of course, it's old enough not to know when it's going to be demolished, but that's why it's in this price range. Ha ha ha. Plus, this is the only place you can move right in from today in this price range. There's even a break-in that's not often seen in intervals like this! It's small, but still has storage space. I've never crossed it! Ha-ha-ha."

It's also obnoxious to be despised for having a low budget everywhere, but having said that, I can't spend the money wasted, so I have to endure it. Pretty old, but didn't seem like a problem to live in.

"Really? Well, that sounds good."

There doesn't seem to be any leakage for now. That would be fine. There seemed to be no particular problem with the ceiling or floor. I even scratched the matter of terminating the contract if it was defective.

This is my second move in just today. I walked into the house with clothes and stuff I left in the station locker.

There was no problem like leaking water, so I went to bed safely.

I liked the intervals where they even had separate closets and enclosures. You say you can put futons and clothes in the top, you can shove a razor in the bottom and store it, and if you close the door, you can use the house clean because it's an invisible structure? It seemed worth as much as the real estate agent was proud to say.

"Hmm?"

Exactly when I opened that closet and pushed in door and looked inside, I saw some holes down there. I wondered what it was, and when I looked at that hole, what a full view of certain parts of the house next door.

What the hell. What about this old apartment?

No, whatever's old, how the hell do you have a hole like this?

Time is 8: 00 at night. As if to prove it's just the right time to get home from the office and take a shower. One woman came out of the bathroom naked, a woman in her 20s. She was a very stylish woman, and immediately turned away from her eyes because she felt that if she watched all the time, it might be activated by force or something.

What, this hole?

I was frightened, but I checked with the [Scooter] first. Maybe it's because it could be the target of an attack. But it was non-offensive. For that reason, I reported to the police that there was a peephole.

"This is, Hasegawa. Thank you very much."

Detective Kufang explained the situation. Surprisingly, there appears to have been a homicide in connection with this peephole.

"Actually, this is the house where the man who was stalking the woman in the next house lived"

"Stalker? So, you'd rather live here now?

"No. That one seems to have been newly moved in. The woman in the house next to it is already dead... I don't know what to say, it was a hell of a case. The stalker was the one that really stunned me. Looks like he stalked the woman in the next house for a few years. It just seemed satisfying to watch every day, but would you say that it was a problem for a woman to have a lover? I saw you having sex with your lover out of that hole at home. Testimony says he was distracted as it was, but when he calmed down, he visited the woman's workplace the next day and stabbed her. Put yourself down and talk to other guys about how you cheated on them, how dirty they are. You thought you were totally your own lover."

"What the..."

Isn't he a complete lunatic? What the hell is wrong with a woman who has sacrificed such a thing?

"I mean. I just watched him the whole time. At the end of the day, I killed him. Feel really deprived. He was a very dangerous, very paranoid patient."

Detective Kufang shook his head to the side.

"Wait. Then...... You mean you had a case like that, but you didn't have to block that hole?

"That's because it's going to cost the landlord money to fix it, and then he's going to have to tell the new tenant what's going on, and it's going to be a weird rumor about how it's going to cost him a lot of money... Looks like you've been postponing the repair. Probably decided to get away with saying I didn't have the money and I was postponing it. Or you might get away with saying you haven't asked the police for an explanation of the situation. I did explain."

Scared. It's really hard to find a house.

Naturally, I can't live in a house like this.

It was late at night, so I had no choice but to spend another night at the hotel and head out in the morning to find a new home. It was a repetition of something really stupid.

"What do you say?

The new real estate introduced me. This time the room was rather far from downtown. The price range is the same, but the distance was rather far away. But I was already quite tired of looking for a house, so I was willing to keep the contract if it wasn't for crime, water leakage, or even this.

"Sounds good. There's no record of a leak or anything like that, is there?

"Yes. Perfect. It is possible to terminate the contract immediately in the event of such defects. I'll make it explicit in my contract."

A real estate agent laughed at how nice people looked. Real estate looked very normal this time.

"Well, that doesn't sound like a problem."

The ceiling didn't seem particularly problematic. And so are the walls. There is no trace of water leakage. Rather, the wallpaper was clean enough to make me uncomfortable.

"By the way, this house. Sounds like you put a new wallpaper on it, huh? Because the wallpaper is pretty clean."

"Yes. Looks like the landlord did it. As a matter of fact, my previous tenants have escaped. I guess I should say I lost him. That's why we're rapidly recruiting tenants, but you seem to have completely erased that trail. Dirty the room and ran away. Well, I guess so."

The real estate agent gave the explanation as such. The fact that the landlord switched wallpapers means he made a pretty big decision though. Beautiful is a good thing, so it's not the part in question. Rather, though it is a part to be thanked for the previous tenants who used the room dirty.

But it was natural to thoroughly examine it because it was a leak or a hole or something. I went to the corner of the room and gently turned the tatami because it seems that it may also be occasionally wet by leakage under the tatami. It wasn't wet. Just.

What the hell is this?

Excuse me.

"Yes?"

"What is this weird stain here?

There were bloodstains there, no matter how you look at them.
