Chapter 148

[【Jelly Killer】I’ll win everything! Watch me show off the avatar power! Let’s go!!! #Star’s Flow #Kainoh Izumi]

Minazuki Ichika.

She is a first-year student at Star’s Flow, playing the role of ‘Empress from Another Dimension’.

In other words, she is my senior.

Her broadcasting style, which values RP while showing her true personality when necessary, has drawn great charm to many viewers.

And those viewers, enchanted by that charm, can’t help but witness it all.

If the situation allows, she doesn’t hesitate to spew out her lewd jokes and sexual harassment….

You might be thinking, “What is up with that?”

Let’s think about it.

Isn’t it incredibly strange?

Let me reiterate, she is set as ‘an empress from another dimension.’

Accordingly, her first-person pronoun is quite an old-fashioned “I”.

Isn’t it weird for someone like her to be spouting lewd jokes and harassment nonstop if the situation arises?

And when she does, she uses the first person “I” (私 – あたし)!

No matter how much I think about it, it’s absurd.

Once you start to get drawn into that inexplicable world that can’t be explained with Minazuki-senpai’s words or understood with your head….

Congratulations. You’ve become a respectable Ichimin (1 citizen)!

[I wonder if it’s okay to say I’m embracing Izumi right now…?]

At first, I thought Minazuki-senpai was holding back since she knew I was an actual JK.

Even if I have memories of my previous life, to others, I’m just an ordinary JK.

But that wasn’t it.

Senpai was just waiting for the right opportunity.

[It’s filled with sticky stuff….]

“Waaaaaaah!”

Minazuki-senpai, after confirming that no one was around, kept on with her harassment in front of my corpse.

I desperately tried to stop her, but there was no way she would hear me.

…It’s not that I particularly have a problem with harassment.

After all, I have memories of living for 25 years in my previous life.

In fact, there’s no way I can just laugh it off or brush it aside when I hear such sexual harassment…but I could likely deal with it.

…Maybe.

But the problem is that my mom or sister might be watching my broadcast.

While my mom or sister have never commented on such things, the very fact that family could be watching is enormous pressure.

Regardless of my mental age, I’m still just a current 17-year-old JK.

[Hmm. Seems like everyone’s had their fun, so shall we move?]

Fortunately, Minazuki-senpai stopped with the harassment for the sake of game progression and entered an emergency exit where only killers could move.

And in that moment.

[…Izumi?]

Koga-san discovered my dead body.

[Bee-bee-bee-bee!]

[Body discovered!]

[Find the killer!]

Survivors: [Natsune] | [Hikarin] | [Hina] | [Izumi] | [Suzuha] | [Yukari] | [Nekoto]

Deceased: [Hina] | [Izumi] | [Ayaka]

…Three people are already dead?

It hasn’t even been three minutes since the game started?

We have a total of eleven people. And there are two killers.

That means two killers, other than Minazuki-senpai, who was with me, have already killed someone.

“Uh, I was taken out by Minazuki-senpai, but who did Amatsuka-senpai and Utsumi-san encounter…?”

I asked them to find out the identity of the capable ones.

The voice of the deceased citizen doesn’t reach the living citizens, so there were no issues.

[I was taken out by Natsune.]

[Me too…. So it’s confirmed Natsune and Ichika are the killers.]

No way. Did Natsune turn out to be another killer?

If I had to die anyway, I should’ve at least died to Natsune.

While pondering that, it seemed the survivors’ meeting had concluded.

[We definitely need to hunt down one of the killers… but there’s absolutely no evidence.]

[Then let’s stick together as much as we can.]

…No, Koga-san!

Koga-san has… No, we have a trump card!

Read my thoughts! The culprits are Natsune and Minazuki-senpai!

But despite my desperate wish, Koga-san couldn’t read my thoughts, and the voting ended in a draw.

Why can’t she read my thoughts at a time like this?

She’s no help when it matters….

After that, the first round ended in a loss for the citizens, overwhelmed by Natsune’s performance.

[There’s no way I can take on so many….]

Minazuki-senpai’s harassment was just a bonus.

[You are the killer.]

[Obstruct the mission and eliminate the citizens!]

At last, it was the sixth round.

Finally, the chance to be a killer was granted to me.

Until now, even when I was a citizen, there were countless reasons I couldn’t act, but being a killer is a different story.

While citizens struggle to survive being hunted, killers are the ones doing the hunting.

It’s just like how a beast is born to hunt herbivores – we are fundamentally different organisms.

Moreover, the person I’ve been assigned to be a killer with is none other than Aki.

A gathering of the two best players in Star’s Flow.

This game… it’s practically already a win, isn’t it?

[Let’s go~!]

As the game started, we all began to move together following Natsune’s voice.

The first place I headed was the food storage.

Accompanying me to the food storage were Kurokami-senpai and Amatsuka-senpai.

[Having three of us stick together like this should be quite safe.]

[Agreed. Let’s make sure we never betray each other!]

“Yes…!”

Even though I answered like this, as a killer, I secretly wanted them to split up.

But even if we did split up, it would not be wise to kill right away.

It would be like admitting I’m the culprit.

And suddenly breaking away from the group now would be awkward.

…I’ll just pretend to be a citizen and move along with my seniors. If I prepare, a chance will surely come.

Thinking this, I continued to walk with them….

[Where’s Izumi’s mission located?]

“Oh, I’m near the management office….”

Aren’t these people just unwilling to separate?

Even when the view was obscured by the blackout, they kept sticking together and so I couldn’t do anything….

Part of me was wondering if I should’ve split up when the view was obscured earlier.

As I wrapped my head around such worries.

[Bee-bee-bee-bee!]

[Body discovered!]

Along with the screeching sound effect, a message popped up.

[Find the killer!]

Survivors: [Nanaase] | [Hikarin] | [Hina] | [Izumi] | [Suzuha] | [Yukari] | [Nekoto]

Deceased: [Tsubaki] | [Rinz] | [Jim] | [Ayaka]

[…Four people?!]

Kurokami-senpai’s scream echoed.

“…Is, is it real?”

I sighed quietly.

While I was with the seniors, Aki took out four people all alone.

This won’t be of any help to us at all.

[The place this body was discovered was near the lab.]

[The last time we went to the lab together with Hina and Izumi, there was nothing there….]

[So it must be one of the people who went there afterward.]

Based on Akabane’s words, the investigation began.

However, Aki appeared to move exceptionally carefully, leaving no trace behind.

[There are 7 of us left; if we don’t catch a killer now, it’s going to be dangerous.]

As the time for the meeting drew near, I realized it’s risky to let the voting result in a draw.

If they go on without making a decision, Aki and I need only take out 3 people for the game to end.

Even if they pressed the emergency call button immediately after the meeting, it would just waste time.

Now, both Aki and I as killers would have an overwhelming advantage, and the remaining citizens would have no choice but to flee in fear.

In other words, it’s the start of the hunt.

[Then let’s vote for Izumi for now?]

“…Eh?”

At Koga-san’s sudden suggestion, my mind went blank.

[Suzuha? What does that mean? Izumi has been with us this whole time….]

[It’s strange that Izumi, who usually dies first, survived while four others died this time. You have to see her as a killer!]

[Ah, that certainly makes sense….]

Why, why, why are you being convinced, Natsune?!

This is unfair. I didn’t do anything, I swear!

Of course, I’m a killer?!

“Um, Koga-san…. If I were the killer, wouldn’t I have eliminated either Kurokami-senpai or Amatsuka-senpai?”

[You said you were together the whole time. In that situation, there’s no way you could have killed them.]

[Ahaha….]

[That sounds plausible….]

Even with my retort, Koga-san did not waver in her opinion.

But why are the seniors getting swayed?

After being together all this time, wouldn’t they support me?

[Then, let’s vote for Izumi. Is there anyone against it?]

[Well…. I’m in favor.]

[Akakatsu! It’s obvious that it’ll put me in a disadvantage, so I’ll follow what you said!]

All this time, I’ve been the first to be eliminated as a citizen, and now as a killer, I’m facing the same ending…?

This is absurd.

Where did the presumption of innocence go…?

[Vote: Izumi – 6 votes]

[Result: Izumi – Expelled]

Koga betrayed me….

Afterwards, thankfully Aki’s impressive performance led me to victory.

But for some reason, I don’t feel joy at all….
