2-04: I’m Always Doing Stuff Like This (3/4)

Eek!? A-AHH! NO! NOOOOO!!New novel chapters are published on

Agatsuma Eiji screamed like a woman as he desperately kicked off those mummified arms and crawled away.

He slid along the wet flooring several times with his naked body, but he still managed to get back to the living room.

When he noticed that his foster was atop the table, he figured he could use it to call help.

It didnt really matter whether these things happening were of the occult or not. This simply wasnt the time for that.

Right now Agatsuma just wanted to get out from this nightmare.

But

Huh?

When he tried to touch the foster, it suddenly floated, as if it were trying to run away from him.

There were no strings attached to it or anything, but it floated freely in the air.

In the next moment, the lights in the room turned off and the ashtray started floating too.

AH-AHHH! W-WHAT IS THIS!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?

Poltergeist. He too knew the word, so it naturally flashed through his mind.

With one supernatural event after another, Eiji Agatsuma couldnt think straight anymore.

He could only fall on his back and shake as he watched the horror unfold before him Within his own residence nonetheless.

KU, KUKUKUKU!

Suddenly, an odd laughter that seemed like it could belong to a man or a woman, old or young, resounded.

Agatsuma braced himself for the worst as he thought, Now what!?, but then he felt that something was strange.

The voice felt strangely natural and something that had gone through a voice changer.

I suppose we can put an end to this here. Cease.

Full of yourself, arent we, trespasser!

Surely, you realize that all I need is to press this button on the wall and the countermeasure office will be at my doorsteps in 5 minutes!

I dont know how you sneaked in here, but you have nowhere to run!

Agatsuma was a member of the countermeasures office despite his circumstances, so there were indeed several such systems to protect him from crime and preserve confidentiality.

The switch meant to inform the office that he was in an emergency also happened to be right next to him.

Unfortunately

Heh. Well, go on. Press it. But if you do, all you friends over in the countermeasure office will see this.

The white mask was neither shocked nor panicked as he sat in the sofa, then he produced a file from out of nowhere and threw it at Agatsuma.

And what is this supposed to be? Agatsuma said as he received the file.

But when he saw the file, he was so shocked that he dropped little Jimmys pillow.

W-Where did you get this!? Agatsuma asked fearfully, not a hint of that earlier bravado.

That file contained all of his wrongdoings.

Illegal searches, investigations done with intimidation, pushing his failures onto his subordinates the works.

And all the documents needed as evidence came with the file, even though Agatsuma had made sure to hide them all.

As he read more and more of the file, he noticed that other documents have even been included. Eventually, Agatsuma found himself laughing. He was screwed. The white mask had him by the neck.

Hah. You even have my parents scandals

From tax evasion to corruption to controversial statements. The file covered everything.

It has already been 8 years since the existence of the otherworld was made public. The data of the world has already been transferred to Garestos electronic equipments.

But of course, that was new technology; hence, there were those who were doubtful of them and chose to forego them, opting instead to store their data in tradition electronic equipment or in paper.

This was especially true if it was concerning ones own wrong doings from before the otherworld was publicized.

Such things were necessary to keep in case one needed to push the blame on someone, but unfortunately, that backfired on him.
