Reset《Okaniya's Side》 I got called out by Ika's younger brother. When I arrived at the scene...
"Oh, Mr. Okaniya! We caught 'em, the stalker!" The culprit.
The people who'd been stalking me and Akari were right there. Two of them, and both were women.
...But I didn't recognize either one. "You..." "Okaniyaaan!"
...Looking at me, they called out my name. But... "Umm... who are you?"
From where I was standing, I had no memory of seeing those women before.
First off... the woman who called me you. Her hair was a total mess.
She was skin and bones, with deep dark circles under her eyes. In the gloom, looking at her made me think she was a ghost.
And then... there was the woman who called me Okaniya-kun.
This one had on a suit that was falling apart.
With this one, I felt like I might have seen her before... "Jūsen... Editor-in-Chief...?"
Yes, it was Jūsen, the editor-in-chief at my former workplace, Takanawa.
Why is Jūken here?
Right, they said he was the one behind the stalking.
"Jūken…… the editor-in-chief…… So you’re the one who’s been stalking me?"
"Ahh, uhm…… y-yes…… that is the case…… b-but! D-don’t misunderstand! I didn’t mean to humiliate you or anything!"
Jūken lunges toward me.
Saburō grabs him immediately and restrains him. "Behave." "L-let go of me!" Jūken flails and struggles…… To think he was the culprit……
Hey, so what about this ghost over here?
"You…… it’s been so long…… you remember me, don’t you? It’s Misae……" "…………… What?" No way…… right? Misae……? That was actually Misae?!
"You…… really are…… Misae…… aren’t you?"
No matter how you look at it, she appears to be around fifty…… no, she easily passes for eighty. That’s what her appearance suggests.
Is this really that Misae who was once so beautiful (at least in appearance)?
"So, to summarize, the culprits were Okani’s ex-wife, Misae, and his former boss, Jūken." Saburō announces it all with a bright tone.
“So, what’s it gonna be, Kogen-sama……?”
When I turned around, Mr. Hirata Kogendai was standing there with a grim expression on his face.
“Naturally, I’ll let them see hell.” [Notice] The print edition of 'Window Edge Editing' is now available for purchase! Thank you for your support!
