Chapter 80:

Bang! Annihilation! Acid Man!

[Hyuoo ooooooh]

Lying in wait on the rooftop of a building, holding my breath, I peer below to observe the situation. It feels like I've become a ninja or a dark hero, concealed in the darkness, and it's satisfying.

Nina-san headed towards the station. Fortunately, there were no strange actions from anyone who seemed like a stalker, so I breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Narrow streets without sidewalks. Not even a white line is drawn on the side. Only street lamps mounted on electric poles illuminate the asphalt road. But even those are spaced far apart, and it has no other significant light sources. The light seeping from residential buildings provides some relief from the darkness.

Finally, a suspicious figure lurking in the night began to move.

Emerging from the alley, the man in a black T-shirt and jeans shrugs his shoulders. It's definitely suspicious that he appeared after all signs of people disappeared.

(Hmm Wait, he passed by?)

After passing by Serai-san's apartment, the suspicious man turns the corner.

What's going on? The presence I felt from him was the most suspicious so far. I cross my arms and ponder, but it doesn't quite add up.

(Well, if he had nothing to do with it, that's fine.)

As I'm thinking this, the man returns to the corner. He glances around, shaking his head, making sure there's no one around, and quickly jumps into the entrance, which is left open.

(Just as I thought! He must have circled the building once to check Serai-san's room from the outside. Damn, I do that too when I enter a new store for the first time.)

[Thud! TapTapTap!]

The man rushes up the stairs, skipping 2 or 3 steps. He's wearing sneakers, and even as he climbs, it's clear he's using the cushioning of his knees and toes to avoid making noise.

But I'm genuinely relieved by this.

His movements are that of an ordinary person, not a superhuman. If he were an Ability User who had gained power in a dungeon, he would probably be using that power by now. After all, whether it's a hawk or a lion. They do it with all their might when they pounce on their prey.

The man has straight black hair. His face is plain without distinctive features, but if I had to describe it, it's like a Noh mask, giving off a gloomy impression. However, perhaps due to the excitement of base desires and anticipation, his lips seem twisted into a thin smile.

[TapTapTap!]

The stalker reaches the 3rd floor of the apartment. Having climbed the stairs in one go, he holds his breath, bends at the waist, and extends his neck to check both sides of the corridor. Then, he looks at the open door of room 301, Serai-san's room, and his smile deepens.

Keeping a low profile is essential because I don't want the apartment's residents I'm hiding in to see me. The stalker sneaks up to the open door of room 301 and is suddenly attacked by a slime falling from above.

"Ugh! Mugaah! Muggggh!!"The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Like a person in a movie or drama who suddenly got kidnapped from behind with a bag over their head, the stalker was drenched in slime from head to toe.

Let me explain.

The slime that suddenly descended from above is a skill I had previously stretched thinly on the ceiling in front of Serai-san's room as a trap. I manipulated it with additional magical power and I made it attack the stalker like a slime.

"Uguu! Gumomoo! (Struggling!)"

"Hey, stop thrashing around (Bam)."

I leaped from the rooftop of the neighboring apartment and used the slime rope to move to Serai-san's apartment, like SpOder-Man. I gently nudged the stalker's chin to knock him unconscious.

Yes, I've concluded.

In the dungeon, it's either kill or be killed. If this stalker intended to prey on Seri-san, he should be prepared to be preyed upon himself.

So, before he faces legal consequences, I'll take care of him according to my rules.

I won't say I'll judge him; I'll only handle it on my terms. Just as this guy had planned to do, I'll only return the favor.

Alright! You'll be my test subject!!

Sugogogogogogo!

(Boil over, Acid! Surge, my Salt!)

[Sugogogogogogo! Byikyuuuun!!]

I gradually converted my magic power and used it. With that magic power, I activate a skill and forcefully pour it into the stalker's body!

..

[ThudThudThudThud]

A police car arrived in front of the apartment, its lights silently flashing without sirens. The exterior of the building across the street is dyed red and flickering.

(Knock, knock, knock) "Seraii-san, the police car is here."

(Tap, tap, click) "Oh, really?"

"In this outfit, I'd better disappear. Let me pass through your room to the balcony."

"Oh, okay. But what should I tell the police?"

"Say you fought off your attacker in one blow."

"Alright."

"Well then, see ya!" (Whoosh!)

I escape to the balcony and hide on the rooftop again. While they didn't use sirens, the rotating police car lights have piqued the curiosity of nearby residents. They are peering out of their windows. Moving now would be risky with so many eyes on the scene.

So, I lie on the rooftop and gaze up at the night sky. The moon, which had been hidden by clouds earlier, is now rising.

()

I could describe the punishment I inflicted on the stalker as a curse. It's because I turned his testicles into rock-solid salted chunks.

As a result, he'll no longer get tormented by sexual desire and won't entertain any evil thoughts. Additionally, I used my skill, [Strong Acid], to multiply the acidity in his body several times, rapidly aging his blood vessels. From now on, he'll suffer from extreme hypertension, thanks to his deteriorating blood vessels, and his rock-solid salted testicles slowly dissolving.

(I didn't take his life. But from now on, he won't have time to concern himself with anyone else in his life.)

That's my version of the Code of Hammurabi.

I don't think I did anything wrong, but if someone were to read this notebook after my death, I'd be curious to hear their thoughts.

"What would you do when you're in my shoes?"

By the way, Hammurabi was apparently a king.
