In the video, with a rather pale and panicked face, Hikaru Kamiki said: "I didn't kill them all. All of this suddenly appeared in my room when I just got off work, I didn't know anything."
"But Mr. Kamiki, we have CCTV footage showing that you yourself moved the girls' bodies from your car to your apartment room one by one." A police officer said with several policemen who were searching the corpses around him.
The corpses were decomposed, some were even bones. The policemen stared at Hikaru Kamiki, they seemed surprised that the handsome young man who seemed gentle on the surface was actually a psychopath.
Eiji thought Zeta was recording it all with her cell phone while using invisibility magic so that the people in the room were unaware of her presence. The woman also used other magic to mimic Hikaru Kamiki's appearance and create evidence that showed that Hikaru Kamiki was guilty.
Although Zeta was not a Shadow skilled in magic, all of his current Shadows had been taught "some" magic that he transferred directly into their brains. With that variety of magic, it was not impossible to create fake corpses that were actually not people at all but magic. But still, all the "corpses" of the girls did have the same identity as the murder victims that Hikaru Kamiki had secretly committed in the past 2 years.
In the original work, Hikaru Kamiki was quite smart, he certainly would not be so stupid as to bring all the corpses of the people he had killed to his apartment. But unfortunately, that man became the target of Eiji's cleanup.
"No way. I... That's not me!" Hikaru who was shown the CCTV video showing himself denied that the person who looked like him in the video was not him.
However, will the policemen believe him?
"Mr. Kamiki, please come with us to the police station."
"No! I said it's not me! Why do you still want to arrest me!"
"All the evidence suggests otherwise. Mr. Kamiki, if you want to try to argue, you can do so in the interrogation room."
One of the police officers handcuffed both of Hikaru's hands, the man initially continued to resist, but he suddenly surprised the police officers with his laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
"Mr. Kamiki?" A police officer looked at Hikaru as if he was crazy. The other police officers did the same.
Hikaru whose hands were in handcuffs stared at all the policemen in the room with his starry eyes that seemed cold and somehow very calm.
Eiji narrowed his eyes seeing this.
"It's okay. You guys want to arrest me, right? Sure, but before that can I call my lawyer?"
A police officer nodded and said. "You can do it, just do it quickly."
Hikaru was left using his cell phone. Instead of calling, he seemed to be texting someone, but afterward he quickly slammed the phone to the floor and stomped on it until it shattered.
"What are you doing?!" One of the policemen immediately pinned Hikaru to the wall. What Hikaru did was clearly suspicious and it seemed like it was done to eliminate certain evidence that made the police unhappy.
Hikaru laughed like crazy, he was about to say something, but just then he suddenly froze, clutching his chest with an expression of pain.
The policemen looked a little panicked. Before being taken to the police station, Hikaru Kamiki was eventually pronounced dead of a heart attack.
It wasn't long before news of Hikaru Kamiki's death and all the murders he had committed spread through several TV stations and the internet.
Eiji knew that not long after that Ai would know Hikaru Kamiki's real face which made him get the reward at that time.
Returning the phone in his hand to Zeta, he said: "Good job Zeta, you did well, but that last one...did you do it?"
Zeta shook her head with a slightly regretful look.
"It wasn't me, Eiji-sama. I originally wanted to kill that man named Hikaru Kamiki in a more violent way in prison secretly."
"However, that man suddenly died before I ended his life with my own hands."
She said that while rubbing the hilt of the short sword hanging from her waist. Seeing this, Eiji felt Hikaru Kamiki was very lucky because he could at least avoid Zeta's brutality in killing her enemies.
This is just a guess, maybe the man suddenly had a heart attack because his relationship with Ai was no longer possible? As the protagonist's father in the original work, Hikaru Kamiki in this world failed to make Ai give birth to a protagonist for him. Ai avoids him and doesn't even have good feelings for him after hearing the things he did to her in the original work.
If this is in a specific novel, what happened to Hikaru Kamiki was losing his luck as the protagonist's father. Just as the protagonist is lucky, his family and the people around him are also usually lucky.
For example, in the original work, the crimes committed by Hikaru Kamiki were never revealed for many years, and he even managed to become the president of Kamiki Productions with a very good reputation.
No one knew his true face after the things he did to the girls he had killed, especially to Ai Hoshino.
He will be fine until the protagonist discovers for himself the truth behind the person who killed his mother.
That's when the protagonist will be shocked to find out his mother's killer is his own father and he starts plotting revenge.
Eiji didn't know how it would end because in his previous life the franchise hadn't finished yet.
But put that aside.
He now understood why a somewhat similar plot in the original work could happen this time after Hikaru Kamiki died.
It must be because of the message Hikaru Kamiki sent to someone on his cell phone before he died!
Eiji could guess that the man somehow had the idea to leak Ai's residential address to her disgruntled fans. It must have something to do with the plot in the original work, and the man Ai said had been watching her apartment from the morning must be one of her disgruntled fans.
Eiji didn't know what Hikaru Kamiki had said to Ai's fans to make one of them want to do something crazy.
But...
Glancing at the fourth floor of the apartment, he could see a man looking around carefully, he had seemed hesitant, but it seemed he had made his decision and was standing in front of the door to Ai's apartment room.
...
Ding dong~
Ai Hoshino, who had been staying in her apartment room without coming out from yesterday, was startled by the sound of her doorbell ringing.
Her starry eyes immediately glanced at the entrance of her apartment room in panic. She didn't dare open the door, let alone check who was visiting her place.
However...
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
..
..
Her doorbell kept ringing repeatedly. Ai was annoyed, and scared at the same time.
"Is it Seiya-kun? I sent a message for him to come over not long ago."
"But what if it's not him? What if it's that suspicious man."
Ai's voice was small, she deliberately kept her voice low because she was worried that the person standing at the door of her apartment room would hear her.
"Excuse me, I'm here to deliver a package! Ai Hoshino-san, are you inside?"
A man's somewhat gruff voice sounded behind the door. From that voice Ai was now certain the person who came was not Eiji.
It must be the man who had been stalking her from yesterday!
The man who had been standing in front of her apartment since morning!
As for the courier who delivered the package? Ai remembered she didn't order any packages online, so obviously what that man said was a lie!
Ai's IQ was online, she was not like the Ai in the original work who would innocently and stupidly open the door only to have a knife stab her in the stomach.
The current her was very wary. Otherwise, she wouldn't have locked herself up in her apartment room from yesterday.
'What should I do? Should I call the police?'
The idea of calling the police had actually crossed Ai's mind from the morning, it was just that she was always worried about the gains and losses related to her career as an idol if she got involved with the police.
That was why, instead of calling the police, in the end she asked Eiji for help, she sent the boy a message a few minutes ago where she knew at that hour high school students should have already gone home from school, right? Actually if it wasn't because Ai was worried about disturbing Eiji who was studying at school, he would have asked the boy to come to his apartment from the morning.
"Hoshino Ai! Are you inside? I know you're inside. Please open the door, there's a package for you!"
The voice of the man behind the door grew louder accompanied by the sound of impatient knocking on the door.
Ai rolled her star eyes, she wanted to yell at the other party to stop pretending because she knew she was not a courier.
Annoyed at not being able to leave her apartment from yesterday because of that man, even Ai who was usually very friendly and patient almost exploded.
She was about to say something out loud, but suddenly a hand appeared from behind and silenced her mouth.
"!!!"
Ai was so scared and panicked, she thought the man behind the door had someone else helping her and somehow without her realizing it the other party had entered her apartment room.
"Sttt! Ai, it's me, don't panic."
Ai's eyes were already wet, she was stunned to hear this familiar voice. She turned around only to see a handsome silver-haired boy in a school uniform.
Who else if not Eiji?
"Eiji? How come?!"
Panicked, Ai raised her voice which of course was heard by the other man outside her apartment door.
"Huh? Ai Hoshino? Are you with a man inside? Ai Hoshino! Ai-chan! Answer me!"
The man's voice sounded very angry and filled with jealousy. He couldn't seem to pretend to be a courier anymore and knocked loudly on the door repeatedly.
"...." Ai covered her mouth with her hand.
"...." Eiji sighed.
[Didn't I tell you not to panic? You're still yelling!]
Ai looked at Eiji with an apologetic look, she couldn't help but react. Because why not? She had obviously locked her apartment room from the inside. The man outside the door couldn't even enter, yet Eiji suddenly appeared inside the apartment room and it was right behind her!
How could she stay calm and not be surprised?
Looking at Ai's starry eyes that were now looking at him with a question mark, Eiji smiled and said. "That's magic. Didn't I already say that I can use magic? Just now I used teleportation magic to instantly move to your apartment room."
Oh so it's like that.
Should she say that? Ai didn't know what to say. Indeed, she remembered Eiji once said that he could use magic when he healed the pain of her period. She was actually still skeptical at the time, but it seemed like the boy could really do the things that witches did in those movies?
"Ai-chan! Ai-chan! Open the door right now! Who is that guy? How dare he share a room with my Ai-chan! Looks like what was said on the internet was true, Ai-chan! You have a boyfriend? Ahh! No! You can't date anyone! You're my goddess!"
The man outside her apartment room was getting noisier and crazier.
"???" Ai was confused. What exactly did this crazy man say? Boyfriend? Since when did she have a boyfriend? Thinking of her being misunderstood as Eiji's girlfriend, somehow she felt her face feel a little hot.
[So that's it. I understand now. That man named Hikaru Kamiki seemed to have said something to Ai's fans that caused them dissatisfaction before his death.]
[That person must have said something like Ai Hoshino had a boyfriend, and she lived in XXXXX apartment.]
[I don't know what grudge Hikaru Kamiki has against Ai to be able to do something like this before he dies. That guy is crazy, even before dying, he still wants to make Ai suffer by her fans like in the original work.]
Eiji now truly understood what Hikaru Kamiki was doing, he didn't hesitate to tell the truth in his heart.
Ai who heard this was stunned for a moment. So this was Hikaru Kamiki's doing? That blond-haired boy was targeting her on purpose! Ai of course had long known Hikaru Kamiki was dead from the news aired on TV.
Before the boy died, she remembered the other party asking her out which she refused because at that time she already doubted what kind of person Hikaru was from after hearing Eiji's inner voice.
Perhaps because of that, Hikaru held a grudge against her? That man's heart was so small! Ai wasn't sure, but for sure now she knew the man who had been stalking her since yesterday and was currently shouting at the door of her apartment was one of her fans.
To be precise, her fanatical fans who went crazy because they found out she had a boyfriend. The information was of course false, she didn't have a boyfriend! The man was tricked by Hikaru! After finding out all this, Ai was at a loss, what should she do to deal with one of her crazy fans in this situation?
Ai looked at Eiji who had been holding his chin as if thinking about something. "Seiyu-kun, what do you think I should do?"
"What should you do? Why not call the police?" Eiji said something that made sense.
However, Ai seemed allergic to the police. She doesn't seem to want to involve the police in this.
"Is there no other way? I called you here actually to have dinner together, and also deal with the man who has been stalking me from yesterday."
Ai looked embarrassed as she said that.
Eiji widened his eyes. Not because of the latter, but because of the dinner together that Ai said.
He was a little excited about it.
Ignoring the voice of the man who seemed to be crazy about Ai outside the apartment room.
"Want me to deal with the man at the door of your apartment room? Sure, it looks like he's one of your fans."
"In this situation, I'm sure the other party has a knife or other dangerous tools in his pocket."
Ai's face was a little pale hearing this, she had not thought of this before, she was worried that dealing with that man was more dangerous than she thought.
She was worried that Eiji would get hurt if she sent him out the door.
However...
"But don't worry. Even if the other party has a knife or whatever it is. He won't be able to hurt me, I just need to beat him on the spot so that he doesn't dare to stalk you anymore."
"That... Is there no other way that doesn't require you to use violence, Seiya-kun?"
"So what if I use violence?" Eiji asked curiously.
From the beginning, he could of course solve the man at the door of Ai's apartment room easily. However, he chose to teleport into Ai's apartment room first to meet the girl.
Why? It was just because he was curious about what Ai was doing in her apartment room at that time. Seeing that the Idol girl seemed to be panicking and hiding inside her room as if she was afraid of ghosts.
Eiji couldn't resist surprising the girl and taking her by surprise. Seeing the girl's reaction earlier, he was satisfied and planned to break some bones belonging to man in front of Ai's apartment room door and told Zeta to drown him in Tokyo Bay.
However, Ai, what do you want? Calling the police won't do, using violence won't do either. Eiji wondered should he use his magic to instantly teleport the man somewhere?
"I'm just worried about you getting hurt..."
Ai's voice was very small, her blushing Idol face looked like a girl in love, but Eiji knew the girl was really just worried and her liking for him had not gone that far.
Even so, Eiji chuckled, he patted the silky purple hair the girl had. Ai narrowed her starry eyes, she was dazed to feel someone patting her head after so long. Back then, when she still lived in the orphanage, only the caretaker there had ever done this to her.
However, compared to the nanny's pat in the orphanage, Eiji's pat was very good. It was many times better than the pats she had received before!
Ai seemed a little obsessed with the comfortable feeling in her head. Unfortunately the feeling was short-lived as Eiji removed his hand from her head and whispered in her ear.
She was surprised by his sudden movement, but she was more surprised by what he said.
"As an idol. Ai, aren't you good at singing?"
"Uh huh... I'm pretty confident in my singing skills."
"Then... I have an idea to drive away your fans without using violence. Can you say the things I want you to say out loud by the door?" Eiji raised his head, he looked at the beautiful face in front of him who looked confused with a grin on his face.
Ai felt that smile was evil, but at the same time it was also so handsome that it made her heart flutter.
Absent-mindedly she nodded. "I can, but what should I say?"
