The ability of instant death isn’t so much of an issue by itself. Ōtori Haruto had been
thinking something along those lines.
This is because instant death is already feasible when there’s a large difference of
ability between two people.
The same stretch of logic applies to many situations. If someone wants to kill a faraway
opponent, there are a multitude of different ways to go about doing it.
In other words, the ability to cause instant death isn’t exclusive to Takatou Yogiri.
It’s likely that there are several people in this world who are capable of instantly killing
Haruto. Instant death alone is certainly a threat, but that isn’t the most threatening
aspect of Yogiri’s ability.
That said, if there was any problem in particular, it would be his ability to sense when
he’s being targeted by someone else’s killing intent.
Indeed, that was the real issue here. In order to deal with Yogiri, one would first need
to find a way to deal with this ability.
However, the rules behind his ability to sense killing intent are just too vague. If Haruto
was to go and challenge that vagueness, he’d simply end up as a corpse the moment
he pressed the issue too far.
First of all, it was necessary to investigate to what extent he’s capable of sensing killing
intent. Ōtherwise, it’d be impossible to strategize on what to do next.
Normally, regardless of whether or not someone was able to understand his ability,
they would end up with no choice but to give up in despair.
However, Haruto has the Consultant class. The impression that the name gives off isn’t
great, but this class has a pretty unusual ability.
The ability of problem-solving.
The ability isn’t as simple as just having the solutions to your problems given to you.
Instead, it grants him the ability to refer to information that will ultimately be
necessary to solve the problem.
The time was late at night. Haruto had gone to the forest outside of town. This was for
the purpose of escaping the ability-sealing powers of the king; to use his ability in the
best condition possible.
He was wearing a business suit in order to raise the power of the Consultant class’s
abilities and holding one of the torches that the class had been using for their exhibitions
into Hell. It was a stick-like tool that absorbs the souls from the surrounding area and
uses that energy to produce light, a relatively common tool for the kingdom.
When Haruto arrived at an opening in the forest, he stabbed the base of the torch into
one of the nearby trees and secured the location.
“Ah. I wonder if it’s alright for me to come out here like this? We were told to take
action as a group, and the groups are supposed to be separated by gender…” (Yui)
Beside Haruto was a girl dressed in a cheerleader uniform, Yui Ōtani.
“There aren’t any restrictions when it comes to personal situations like this one. As
long as you’re okay with it, there aren’t any issues, right?” (Haruto)
“Yeah…” (Yui)
Yui’s face turned red.
Haruto knows that his physical appearance makes it easy to gain favor with girls, and
he was skilled at using that quality effectively in order to get what he wants.
Haruto only wanted to make use of the ability that she possesses, but he thought that
it’d be fine to be affectionate with her afterward if that’s what she’s hoping for.
“Well then, I was wondering if you’d be willing to use your ability to help me with
