Chapitre 31: 31 Clean Hands
Author Note: I made an auxiliary chapter where I sort the side story into one chapter and provide an explanation in the later part.
Disclaimer: Because the side story is made to make progress after reading an entire chapter, it's pretty weird trying to read it all at once.
After moving to action, I immediately found who sexually assaulted and killed my wife.
He goes by the name of Dracula and other than the fact that he is as strong as me, there was nothing much mentionable to him.
In fact, he's pretty dumb considering the fact that I easily found him, despite being an 'assassin' of where Sakamata used to affiliate.
It's the sad truth that leveling up doesn't raise your intelligence.
Now, I have many choices. I can even go up to his place and fight with him to the death.
However, I won't do that. I don't want to have an even fight with a guy that killed and even raped Sakamata before her death.
If possible, I want to toy with him before slowly killing him. For that, I have to get stronger in the shortest time.
'That's right, didn't I find a devil's contract not so long ago? Let's sell my soul to him and hope for power.'
I nodded and with a thought, I used [Gluttony] on Sakamata and her inanimate body disappeared from the spot along with the soil below her.

"I heard you were the one who helped Tadano-kun during my absence Amami-san," Upon the chime of the bell indicating the end of the lesson, I spoke to the person next to me, Satou Amami.
"No, no... I'm always grateful to Shirasaki-san for helping me tidy the classroom early, so this is a small repayment compared to all the things you've done for me," Amami-san weakly waved her hands in front of her chest while shaking her head panicking.
"Still, it doesn't change the fact that you helped me greatly! So please accept my gratitude. If I can help you out with something, please ask anything," in the end, I bowed to Amami-san.
Amami-san on the other side, nervously opened her mouth unsure whether to say it or not. After a while, she made her resolution and looked straight at me. "Th-then... can I call you Shirasaki-kun?"
I tilted my head in confusion and asked her. "I don't mind it but, why the change?"
"Y-You see, when I first met you, I thought you were a cold person who could achieve anything beyond my reach."
"But then, as I got to know you better, I discovered that you have a gentle and friendly nature, willing to react to anyone in the most friendly way. And, to be honest, I find that very endearing..."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you cute. I know it's not the best compliment to give to a boy, but I just couldn't help myself. Ha-haha, what am I saying..." Amami-san
'What is this girl, she's so cute,' while thinking so, my hand landed her head unconsciously.
'If I had a daughter, I want her to be like Amami-san.' Noticing my hand in the strange position and the reddened face of Amami-san, I quickly moved it back.
"No. However it's shape, a compliment is a compliment. Seeing how you muster your courage to say it, it's nothing but rude to brush it off. So Amami-san, thank you," I said with a straight face.
+... +.... +....
With a face unseen by Amami-san, I thought. 'However, you are wrong about one thing, Amami-san.'
'Every single act of mine has a reason and I am doing it accordingly, rather than unconsciously. The person you are seeing is a 'fake' version made by me after learning his lesson about humans.'
'This fake version can only become into 'true' in front of my wife and in truth, I am a hateful person that can't care about others,' or so, I judged myself.
What I didn't know though, was if I truly had no interest or care in others, I wouldn't have patted Amami-san like just now.
***
I finished school and unusually got home quicker and got changed. Despite it being the mid-summer, I even wore gloves.
Of course, it wasn't black-colored or red-colored gloves but instead, skin-colored gloves that people wouldn't notice unless they took a deep look.
Climbing up the pedestrian bridge, I saw a person facing his back onto the rail while sticking his phone to his ear. Then, he spoke to the phone.
"I know right? It's so fucking irritating and annoying how an average man like him can date the best-looking girl in the school. This is why I fucking hate Japanese creation." The man raised his voice.
Fortunately, though, I was the only person passing by this bridge so he didn't receive the weird look from the bypasser. I continued to act low so as to not enter his eyes.
"Parallel Japans Fiction is full of fucking plot armor and somehow it's always the NEET that always gets a harem and the process is also dumb, they just saved a girl whom they just met and that girl fall in love with him? HUH? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?" The man got heated up.
After a word from his phone, he calmed down. "That's right, sorry got caught in the moment. No changes in the plan, proceed as exactly."
'Huh? I surprisingly agree with some parts of what he said,' I raised my brows. Part of what he said is the reason why I avoided viewing the 'Isekai' servers.
The man pressed his phone down, as he looked up at the sky. "After killing the average boring man, what after? Try to conquer Komi? That's impossible, I don't know what she's thinking. Without the assistance from the plot, it's impossible to consider dating her."
"Besides, it's not even the goal. I guess it's the pleasure release route as always," the man pondered how he'll deal with the heroine.
It's the hopeless pitiful person who has no girlfriend in the real world. He'll relies on the game in name of 'porn' and rape whatever girls looked cute, sexy or beautiful.
Moreover, since it's game, there's no law real world against it and they won't be punished for it. After all, the character of the game is but NPCs to them.
But to me, being a 'bug' who came from the world not here, I couldn't consider them as NPCs and thought of them as real people.
I took a deep exhale and... [Silence] I disappeared from the world.
*tap* *tap* *tap*
My footsteps rang through the void but it couldn't escape the real world. Despite being just by the side of the man, he showed no sign of noticing me.
Inside the world of silence, I moved my finger to tap the man's shoulder.
Feeling the weird sensation on his shoulder, he used his other hand to touch the shoulder. Although he was just in front of me, he still hadn't noticed me.
Acupuncture. It was the best discovery I had in the afterlife and I straight up tried to learn it after knowing about it while learning martial arts from Bruce Lee.
Normally, acupuncture is a medical means developed in ancient China (Now Celestial) to restore blood flow or so. But in the afterlife, there was another being who developed it for offensive means.
Triggering the pain nerves of a person, locking the blood flow causing it to be paralyzed, and even control its limbs. Acupuncture was also suited for me because it was about 80% memorization and 20% skills.
Now my mastery of acupuncture surpasses my martial arts and I can even use it without needles. So a tap on the shoulder can bring a devious effect.
'Don't worry, though. I won't directly kill you.' I inwardly thought as I endured the choking sensation from the use of [Silence].
The man in front of me soon find out that he couldn't control his upper body and it started bending and bending...
"Huh? What? WHAT THE FUCK!?" from the bend, his upper body rode the rails and his legs were lifted up from the bridge.
"No way, right? Who is it? Come out! You're a player like me, right!? Stop this absurd shit!" The man began panicking as his uncontrollable back slipped off the bridge.
Below him were cars that speeded up to 60km/h. If it hit him, it'd be a miracle to come up alive, and even if it was a game, he didn't want to experience such a thing.
Through his survival instinct, he tried hanging on the rails through his still-controllable legs. "Wait a minute! It's Komi that you're aiming for, right? I don't know where you are but I promise you! After we kill that average man, I let you fuck her first! You're aiming for her virginity, right?"
Sadly, I wanted to throw my virginity and take the virginity of my wife. I tapped the man's legs as it became paralyzed and he slipped off the pedestrian bridge's rails.
Timingly, the car that was speeding at 80km/h, just in limit within the law, hit the man's head up front.
Along with the blood that showered the road and the disturbing sound, the man's head came off his body. The next moment, the car crashed with the man's body, deflecting it far away.
'A man who is plotting something against the main character was stricken oof bad luck as he slipped his back on the bridge's rails and fell off the car road and died.' I summarized the situation.
I ran off the place and finally canceled my [Silence] after I was 10m away from the incident.
Then, I took my plain and simple gloves and looked at my hand, "Hm. It's not stained. Nice."
I whistled as I returned home to log out and contact Shion.
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
R4IN
R4IN I found myself an editor.
He is called ChatGPT. I will call his help if I think my paragraph looked weird but of course, I won't rely on him as much.
(This darned AI is better at grammar than me ;-;)
Another thing: I am unsatisfied with my writing skill because my imagination is much better than what I can make it into letters
