Chapter 28 Traitor, Mizuno Shoko's Fate
After that, Takashi was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. Quite the wedding car, huh? Red lights instead of empty cans, well, it's lively enough.
The remaining members decided to disband, planning to meet again on another day. For now, I plan to visit the Yanashima family in three days.
I won't drag it out. I'll settle it in the first negotiation.
Now then.
The final task for today is waiting Mizuno.
Even though she turned traitor and sided with us, I certainly don't trust her. I can't be optimistic with such an unpredictable element. I'm a worrier, you see.
So, I have to stage a decisive situation, saying, "Mizuno made that video," from now on.
To be honest, I wouldn't go so far because she keeps Takashi and Kanae's relationship a secret, but she apparently bullied Misa-chan in high school too.
So, yeah, let's bring about her downfall.
After all, traitors typically meet a tragic fate in the end.
It might be best to let that happen as it should.
So, late at night, I decide to sneak into Mizuno's house.
In a room of an apartment rented by the television station, Mizuno lives alone.
Utilizing the [Concealment] skill and passing through the auto-lock with the 'Universal Key,' I enter inside.
This must be the room...
I presume she's already asleep, but just to be sure, I'll use [Detection] to observe the interior of the room... Yeah, she's lying in bed.
Once again, I open the door with the Universal Key.
I gently try to open it without making a sound, but I stop midway.
As expected of a girl living alone, there's a chain lock.
That's quite the girly touch!
However, it's useless against me.
Observing the interior through the gap and identifying coordinates, I use [Teleportation] skill to move inside the door. Then, I cast a [sleep] magic on Mizuno sleeping on the bed, inducing her to even deeper slumber.
Alright, first, turn on Mizuno's PC. It seems to be synchronized with the Microsoft account, and the password input screen appeared.
Use [personal information disclosure] for the account. The excellent thing about personal information disclosure is that the password for that account is displayed.
Enter the password displayed on the status window!
Ta-da! Login complete!
Hehe, indeed convenient, my personal information disclosure. Now, onto the next task.
Insert a USB memory into the PC and transfer the data. Including today's video played at the venue and the original data before editing.
Haha, with this, it becomes evidence that she had this data. Connect Mizuno's smartphone to the PC with a cable. Copy the 30-second simplified version of Takashi and Kanae's actions video from the transferred data to the phone!
Detach the smartphone and proceed with the unlock.
It's fingerprint authentication, huh?
Hey there, could I borrow your hand, Shoko-chan?
The lock was successfully released, and I fired up the social media on the home screen.
Alright, gonna post a video now from your account.
After that, I'll sneak in the link to the video and your detailed profile to that flame-baiting influencer.
Hehehehehe.
* * *
At Kanae and Tadayuki's wedding venue, Mizuno Shoko was feeling pretty darn good.
Deep down, she was irritated with Kanae.
Doing whatever she pleased, having an affair, and ultimately marrying some well-off handsome guy as if nothing happened.
There was this feeling of unfairness.
So when that video played, and it seemed like those two might call off the wedding, deep down, she thought serves them right.
Even at the venue, some acquaintances said, "That wasn't right, Shoko, you're in the right," and she replied with, "Well, yeah," soaking in the superiority.
Why that video played or Misa's true intentions, not really bothered her, honestly.
Tadayuki had said he would give a reward. It would be better to ask Misa about something later. She thought.
Originally planning to participate in the after-party as well, she had taken the next day off from work. With the change of plans, she could get plenty of sleep.
Therefore, she went to sleep in a very good mood.
Now, Mizuno was awakened by the ringtone of her phone. Looking at the clock, it was 12:00.
She had slept more than she thought. On the smartphone display, her boss's name was shown.
Even on her day off, what's going on? Annoyed, she answered the phone.
"Yes, this is Mizuno."
"What are you doing!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Your tweets are being compiled! And even your profile is exposed! Why did you upload such a video!"
"Huh? Huh?"
"Anyway, delete the video even though it's late! I have a meeting with other departments about this from now on!"
With that, the boss unilaterally hung up the phone.
"What the heck... huh?"
After the call ended, the notification count on her social media app on the home screen seemed strange.
[999,999+]
"What... is this?"
She tap frantically, but the notification count is too high, making it difficult to open.
Abandoning the attempt on the smartphone, she tries to log in from her unused PC.
Upon checking the account──
A tweet unfamiliar to herself was pinned.
"I think those who understand will get it (lol) Today's raw data (lol)"
And a video is attached.
Upon confirming, it's a 30-second video of a man and a woman in action.
Though their faces are pixelated, for those who attended yesterday's wedding, it's clear what this means.
"Why, me?"
Confused, she looks at the replies.
The tweet has a massive number of replies.
"Pilgrimage to the holy land."
"This is too much."
"As expected, it's overboard."
In the replies, there was something intriguing.
"I came from Michibata Asozuelica."
Michibata Asozuelica.
An influencer with 2 million followers, known for disseminating celebrity affairs, identifying perpetrators in molestation incidents, and various other gossip.
"What, what's happening!?"
Searching through user profiles, jumping to Michibata's account.
There, a display of Mizuno's pinned tweet was shown.
"A TV station employee in Yamaguchi Prefecture posted a video of a friend's act on SNS. The situation escalated to the point where even fans appeared in the play of the man's strongly provocative actions. It should be noted that the initials of the person who uploaded the video are SM, and they strangely match the content of the video."
Blood drained from her face.
This account has been conveyed as her own to some friends and colleagues.
"H-hurry, quickly, delete it."
Mizuno returned to her account, attempting to delete the tweet.
However, her hands trembled, and the mouse couldn't be controlled properly. She tried to align the cursor many times, but it kept slipping.
Eventually, Mizuno let go of the mouse, clasped her head with both hands, and screamed.
"No, no, no... Noooo!"
