"Oy! Where are you getting on this early morning?" She said with a smug while tilting her head slightly. I was frightened "Umm-m, w-Walking is a great exercise. It's- It's more effective in the morning."
"If that's the case. Then why with a garbage bag? You can put the garbage right next to the dumpster down the building."
Sometimes she's scary. I feel like detective blood is inside her. The way she's questioning me is truly an act of a detective. Was her aim of life being a detective? In the middle class, I got an assignment to tell what i wanted to become in the future. Precisely Speaking, it is a carrier plan. Then my purpose in life was to be become a full-time gamer. I choose it because of the pay is higher than any other job. Moreover, you don't have to give physical labor. Isn't it a convenient Job? Whatever the case, I think in that assignment Jessica might have written the job of a detective.
"Uh, you're right. Silly me. I forgot that we had a dumpster down the building. Thanks." I replied to her with a wide grin. She could see under my fake smile.
"Kay. Bye. " As she turned around to get up the building, I emited a sigh of relief. She really got my heart attack.
Then, I didn't put the bag in there. I wait for her to get up the building. Then I went back to the building, dug a hole in the ground, put that plastic bag in there, covered it with dirt making it looked natural.
"Why're you digging here?"
"Uaha!" I yelled.
"Didn't you go inside the building?" I asked her nervously.
"Yes I did, I was talking with Mr. Hans. Then I heard someone digging. That made me curious and now I'm here. So, the reason?"
I shattered for a few minutes then said, " M-My goldfish died today. So, I'm just burying him."
"So, sad. He must be your best companion. Rest in peace Mr. ?"
My eyes round around and stopped at the fountain.
"Splasher!" I shouted. In video games get some of that kind of weapons like water splashers, dazzling fire. So, I instantly made the name splasher.
"Rest in peace Mr. S-Splasher." She said with a bit of water in the corner of her eyes.
Was she really crying for a dead fish or the stray cat in truth? She really is one of the kindest persons I saw I my life.
Without staying for a moment, she left, tilting her head sideways.
Now, I have to make a solution to the second problem. I left the building and went to the hardware shop. I brought a big chain and some tools. In general, no one buys those tools other than for construction. The chain was quite heavy. It almost fell on my leg but somehow, I managed to hold it. The shopkeeper did saw me in a weird way when I told him, "I need them to tame a dog."
Because what else could I say? Tame a psychopath?
I came back to my apartment. Put the chain and tools in one corner. From now one I decided that I won't do any more daily quests. They are so absurd. Moreover, if I don't do it, I wouldn't get any penalties. The only drawback is I wouldn't level up. That would be a problem in long run but for now I'll avoid the daily quest.
Just like video games, the system also has some options that wouldn't unlock if I don't level up. Furthermore, many options were named so absurd that understanding them or the use of them is completely mysterious to me.
'Psychoestic Nefarious Energy' (Unlocks at level 10)
'Split Swap' (Unlocks at lever 15)
'Blood Hunger' (Unlocks at level 10)
The only skill was unlocked is the 'Manipulation power' Though it was merely Level one. I flipped the diary to see my Current Stats.
< Name: Jodan>
< Status: Level 1> [ Ep :5\20]
< Ability: Manipulating Strength: Level 1>
***** [Change of perspective]
The room was replenished with darkness as there was no way for sunlight to get inside.
"Where's Renar? Did he run off with the diary?" A person with a bald asked while grabbing a man with his shirt.
"No, sir, it can't be. He is the most devoted person in the organization among us. He should be back." The man who was grabbed replied.
Another man entered the room soon after.
"Sir, Raner is captured!" He shouted.
"What?!" The bald guy was stunned.
This news made him relatively angry so he drove his hand into the man's abdominal. Thus, pulling out all his insides.
-uh (Cough,) "Please….Spare….me..." He fell on the ground like an alligator.
He died instantly as no one came forward to justify him.
"You said he would be back. Where is he now?" The bald guy said.
"I don't need that bastard anymore. Just get the diary."
"Leader, don't be angry. We're gonna get the diary back." Said the man who came last. By the look, he is one step down from the leader. The leader gives him the order and he follows them obediently through his gangs.
"Police captured him when he was on his way to here. I went to the researcher's house and saw his dead body but no trace of the diary. So, I ensured that the diary was taken by Rener."
"Police is not a problem here. I knew that detective very well. Just tell him my name 'Kamura' and he should do the next steps. Meet with that bastard Rener retrieve the diary at once." The leader said,
"Do you know why our organization is called thirsty wolves?"
"Yes, sir." The man replied.
"It's because we'll do anything to satisfy our thirst. Now find it at any cost." Said the bald man who's the leader angrily. The man left the room nobly. Another man with a mob came to clean the floor as it was wrapped with blood.
