Chapter 27
I’d heard of breaking someone mentally before killing them physically. But I’d always wondered—how exactly do you break someone’s spirit?
This was my revenge, so I’d brainstormed a few ideas. Leaking Kiyoharu-san’s power harassment videos on social media, spreading evidence of Kuzutani’s sexual harassment, or quietly submitting proof of embezzlement to the labor board. I even had some evidence ready. But…
"(This is on a whole other level!)"
Who even thinks of suddenly destroying an entire building? Sure, they’re undead now, but isn’t this overkill? Or am I just being naive…?
The two lumps of flesh had regenerated, reforming into human shapes. By the way, everyone unrelated to the power harassment or moral harassment—people uninvolved with Kiyoharu-san and Kuzutani—had their memories completely erased and were sent back to the original world. Apparently, the worst they’d suffer was the occasional nightmare, with no lasting side effects.
The two men stood there, dumbfounded. Understandable. Nobody could stay composed after this.
"Wh-what is… this…?"
"I-I… what happened to me…?"
Lord Albert approached them with a grin.
"Rejoice, humans. Hell is just getting started. Well? Aren’t you thrilled?"
He laughed like a demon. Well, technically, he is a Demon King-in-waiting.
"Wh-who the hell are you?!"
Kiyoharu-san was the first to snap out of it, shouting—but his eyes still held undeniable terror.
"Me? I’m Albert. Here to deliver your punishment."
"Punishment?! Why the hell should I be punished?!"
"Hmm. So you really have no self-awareness. It’s simple. You vermin made my wife suffer. Consider this payback."
"Wife? Someone who worked at my company?"
"I won’t answer that. Not like it’d change anything."
"Don’t fuck with me! Send us back now!"
"Tch tch. You actually think you’re going back? How adorably delusional. This place is your grave. And besides—"
Lord Albert smirked as he delivered the final blow.
"You’ve got nothing left in the real world anymore."
"Wh-what?!"
"Yuka, check their company’s reputation and social media. Should be quite entertaining."
"Huh? SNS? …Whoa…"
The company’s rating had plummeted to a single star—the lowest possible. A flood of complaints poured in. And Twitter (Χ) and other platforms were an absolute dumpster fire. Countless videos of power harassment and sexual harassment had leaked, their names exposed, blowing up in the worst possible way. But… when? Who?
"Yuka, I reached out to that woman you know—Yagi Miyu, was it? Seems she held a grudge against these scum. When I asked her to expose the truth about their company, she jumped at the chance. …I had to tell her Aiba Yuuya no longer exists in that world. Given the circumstances, it couldn’t be helped, but I still owe her an apology."
He whispered the last part right into my ear. Oh. So it was Yagi-san… She really went all out, huh?
"Y-Yagi…?! That bitch…! She should’ve just stayed quiet and become my woman! But no—she had to go clinging to that trash nephew of hers! A worthless slut who can’t do anything but whore herself out to men…!"
"…Excuse me?"
What the hell did this bastard just say?
"Ghk—! S-Stop! Don’t come closer! Do you even know who I am?! I’m elite class! Not some lowlife like you! You don’t have the right to lay a finger on—!"
"…Could you shut the hell up? Your voice is rotting my ears."
"G-GACK!? H-Hurk…! S-Stop, please…! I-I’ll die…!"
I ended up punching him across the room. But now we see Kiyoharu-san—no, just Kiyoharu’s true colors, huh?
"Yuka, there’s more. This filth repeatedly assaulted female employees. Yagi Miyu was a target too, but she quit before he could touch her. …She said you protected her."
Lord Albert murmured the details to me. Good. So Yagi-san made it out safe. But god, this guy’s beyond redemption. And he’s in his fifties? Disgusting—and worse because he’s family.
"I’m glad Yagi-san is okay."
"Indeed."
"And now… we can take revenge without holding back."
"Naturally. We’ll crush them completely."
Lord Albert pointed at Kuzutani.
"Yuka, a suggestion—why not break the small fry first? It’ll make Kiyoharu’s despair even sweeter."
"Perfect. Let’s kill Kuzutani first."
Starting with the trash boss.
