Chapter 13 The Disappointing Hero Sells
Now, it's time to start the mission.
Early the next morning, I arrived at Takashi's house.
He works as a salesperson for a food company, driving around supermarkets, department stores, and shopping malls in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
And there was a sales car parked in the parking lot.
He usually goes directly to his destinations and returns home.
Well, he probably used that freedom to meet up with Kanae.
Using the "Universal Key," I entered the back seat.
I activated my "Concealment" skill and disappeared.
After a while, Takashi got into the car.
Oh, he's early for work.
It's great that there's not much waiting time.
I was rocked in the back seat for about twenty minutes.
Takashi's car entered the parking lot of "Dream Town Yamaguchi."
Dream Town is famous in my hometown as "the place for shopping malls."
Now, Takashi stopped the car, and I began to act.
Reaching out from the back seat, I grabbed Takashi's head.
Despite Takashi's body trembling "sharply" due to the sudden event, I twisted his head beyond its range of motion.
With a cracking sound, Takashi's neck broke.
Instant death.
I then took only Takashi's smartphone, stored it in the car's dashboard, and used [Teleportation] to return to my home with his body.
Carrying a smartphone is troublesome because of incoming calls, and I don't want to turn off the power.
Once back in the room, I stripped Takashi's body.
Using the "Ring of Illusion," I copied Takashi's appearance and stored the body in the [item box].
The item box cannot store living beings, but it can store dead bodies.
Moreover, it is connected to a mysterious space where time does not pass.
There is no need to worry about the body decaying.
I changed into the suit Takashi was wearing and, along with the prepared bag, teleported back to Dream Town Yamaguchi.
I then drove the car and headed to Yamaguchi City Hall.
There, I obtained about five copies of his resident registration certificate with his "My Number" written on it. Then, I purchased a seal at a nearby stationery store before heading to Shin-Yamaguchi Station.
At the ticket counter, I bought a round-trip ticket to Tokyo.
Although I actually wanted to teleport and move quickly, I wanted to maintain the appearance that "Takashi took action."
Since I woke up early, I felt sleepy. Using Takashi's money, I bought the most expensive station bento and ate it, then took a nap on the Shinkansen.
Now, I arrived at Tokyo Station in the early afternoon.
Well, from here, it's okay to use teleportation a little bit.
I activated the combo of "concealment" and "teleportation" in the restroom and moved to the first "gold buyer."
"Excuse me, I would like to have my gold appraised and sold..."
"Yes, please fill out this form."
I filled out the necessary documents and submitted them.
"Now, what kind of items would you like to sell today?"
"Well, it's this..."
I took out about five gold bars.
"It's something I inherited from my grandfather, but I need a large sum of money for the down payment on a house, so I'm thinking of selling it."
"I see. It doesn't have any engravings... Can I keep it for a while?"
“Yes”
I suppose they will check it with a machine. After a while, the receptionist returned.
“Wow, this is an amazing item. It is definitely pure gold with a purity of 99.999 percent or higher”
Hehehe. That old dwarf sure talks big, but he's doing a good job.
“Yes, so how much is the purchase price?”
“Well, according to today's market rate...”
The receptionist tapped on a calculator. Five gold bars, five hundred grams in total.
The total amount is roughly 4.6 million.
“Yes, please. I prefer cash. But if it's not available at the store right now, I can wait for a while”
“Is it not possible to do a bank transfer?”
“According to my grandfather's will, we follow a cash-based approach for buying and selling items. If it's difficult, I'll consult with another store”
“Um, please wait a moment”
The receptionist went back inside and consulted with someone who seemed to be their superior.
“Yes, it's fine... Also, if the amount exceeds 2 million yen, we need to comply with the 'Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds,' which requires separate documents with the individual's 'My Number' (personal identification number) listed...”
“Yes, I have prepared it,”
I submitted Takashi's resident registration along with the driver's license.
“Thank you very much. So, you came from Yamaguchi?”
“Yes. It seems that the market price for buying in Tokyo is higher than in my hometown. Even after paying for transportation expenses, it seemed like I would still make a profit.”
I gave the impression of being a person who values reasoning when it comes to money and convinces others.
“I see. Then I will take care of it here.”
Takashi's driver's license and resident registration were copied and returned.
Well, I didn't need five copies of the resident registration after all.
“Here you go, it will be 4,663,000 yen. Please check it. If you are satisfied, you can count it here.”
A money counter was placed on the table along with the cash.
I removed the bands from the bundles of one million yen and placed them on the counter.
With a sound of "whirr," the cash was counted.
Of course, it was one million yen.
I counted the rest in the same way.
Yes, it's exactly right.
“Yes, it's fine.”
“Then, please sign and stamp the agreement for selling.”
I filled out the documents and stamped them with the prepared seal.
I then put the cash in the bag and left the store.
"Thank you very much, please be careful as it is a large sum of money."
"Yes, I will deposit it into my account right away."
The representative who came to see the customer off outside the store chatted me for a bit, then I used [teleportation] while hiding in the shadows.
After returning home and leaving the cash behind, I moved on to the next store. I repeated the same process four times. Due to the circumstances of having cash prepared at the stores, I ended up with a total of twenty-three bundles.
The cash amounts to approximately 21 million yen.
I actually wanted to sell a bit more, but since it took longer for each store than expected, I decided to end it here. It can't be helped since I want to return to Shin-Yamaguchi by 9 PM, not the last train.
Now, I boarded the 4:12 PM Nozomi Shinkansen bound for Hakata, and arrived at Shin-Yamaguchi at 8:33 PM. I then drove to "Dream Town Yamaguchi" and arrived at 9:20 PM.
I used [teleportation] here and returned home. With a smirk on Takashi's face, I used the skill [Item Box] and took out Takashi's corpse from the pile of cash on the table.
I dressed him again, returned to the car through [teleportation], and placed Takashi's corpse in the driver's seat. Then, I took out the "Elixir" from my item box.
Elixir is one of the rarest items obtained in the different world, and I only have eight of them myself. It's so precious that I couldn't bring myself to use it even in the battle against the Demon Lord.
The amazing thing about this medicine is that it not only perfectly treats external wounds, but it can also revive a person within about 10 minutes after death.
However, I'm going to use this precious medicine for you, Takashi-kun.
I placed his phone on the passenger seat and sprinkled the "Elixir" on Takashi. I'll wait in the back seat under [concealment] because I want to see his reaction.
"Huh?"
Takashi woke up with a dumbfounded voice.
"Huh, it looks like it hurt——oh, it's dark outside, what!?"
In a panicked state, Takashi took the phone from the passenger seat and looked at the screen.
"Huh! It's 10 PM!? Oh no, did I fall asleep? Damn, I need to make a phone call."
After that, Takashi called someone who seemed to be his boss and apologized profusely.
"Excuse me, I felt a pain in my neck and ended up staying until this time... Yes, yes, I understand. I'll go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning. Yes..."
Alright, that's good. To be honest, there were plenty of ways to do the same thing without using the so-called 'elixir.' But I wanted to kill Takashi like a snack or an appetizer before the main event.
Just a little refreshing! Well, I'll keep pushing him further.
After enjoying Takashi's fluster, I returned home with [teleportation].
Now, my available funds have been replenished.
Let's review the results of today's hard work. I grabbed a handful of cash on the table and threw it into the air.
It's like a cash confetti. Oh, I've always wanted to try this.
And Takashi-kun, you skipped work today and went to Tokyo, selling off some unknown source of money, right?"
If the gold purchase exceeds two million yen, a payment report will be submitted to the tax office, so I think you will receive a tax notice in the millions... Good luck!
This is a form of money laundering that cannot be regulated by law... It's a world-class money laundering scheme!
Hahaha!
