Sponsored chapter 4 by alex-sama.
Thank you Alex-sama.

Now, I leave the Zinnia with great speed trying to find Bakiru.
This won’t work, first, let me calm down.
I can"t let the blood rush to my head, it won"t let me think properly at all.
“Fu~u….”

That calmed me down a little.
Alright, first thing to do is to recover MP. I completely used up all of my MP to heal Sari.
If I was to fight like the way I am now, then I wouldn’t be able to use Sign Isolation or Demon Ripper at all.

Therefore, I take out an MP recovery potion from my Item Box.
Let"s drink until I am fully recovered.

But, all of the MP potions were completely used up. Let"s go find Bakiru and settle this then.

I proceeded to the store where Grace-san took me too.

After a while I was able to safely reach it. That is a relief, it"s not closed yet.
 
“Excuse me, I would like to buy MP potions. Do you have any?”
“Oh, isn’t this the kid. Welcome! MP potions is it? There are about thirty MP potions in the inventory. The people from the school have not come over yet, so we have a surplus of them.”
“Please give me all of them.”
“Everything you say!? Your pretty rich huh? I will calculate, please give me a sec. It"s thirty, so……”
“It"s six silver coins. Please pack it for me, thank you very much.”
I hand over one gold coin to the Aunt.
“Oh? Your definitely quick to calculate huh. How about working over at this store?”
“I’m very thankful for the offer, but I will respectfully decline.”
“That"s too bad. Here is your change of four silvers.”
“Thank you very much.”
I receive the four silver coins and leave the store.
I think I have enough, the Potion problem is now solved.

Next is...
How to find where Bakiru is?
This city is too big to search every nook and cranny. Bakiru seems to only target women.
If I am near him and he notices, then he will definitely run away from me as fast as possible.

I have to somehow get closer to him...
Do I ask help from Meru-san……no! Not happening!
What am I even thinking? Sari was attacked. I can’t let anyone else who is close to me get involved in this.
This world is not a game, I can’t start over again.
But, I don’t have a method right now.
He apparently seems to be Bald, he is not that tall, and he has huge scar on his face. That is quite a hard description to find in this entire city.  It can’t be helped, I will have to search everywhere randomly.

As I was thinking about this,
“Oh? If it  Yuma. What are you doing here?”
This person was the one that told me about the Ripper Demon, Iguru.
Come to think of it. When I saw the status of Iguru, I saw that he had a skill called Eagle Eyes.
I can make use of this. Since he is a male, then there is no problem at all.
“Oi oi, whats wrong!? Why are you making such a scary face all of a sudden!  More than that, let"s quickly go back to Zinnia and have a taste of Sari-chan"s cooking.”
Ah! I see, Iguru still doesn’t know what happened.
“Iguru, I know that this is sudden, but I need your help. Please help me find the Ripper Demon. Please.”
“Wh-Whats with this all of a sudden? I don’t mind helping you out. Did something happen though?”
“Sari was attacked by the Ripper Demon.”
The moment I said that, Iguru"s face became serious.
“Are, Are you serious?”
“The injuries were completely healed using my magic, therefore there are no serious problems for now. But, I will definitely not forgive the Ripper Demon.

"Sari was attacked while I was out doing a request which was irresponsible of me too. Please. Lend me your strength.”
After I said that, I bowed my head towards Iguru.
Iguru, seeing me lower my head, was surprised.
“Hey Yuma, Sari-chan was injured, do you think even after this I would not cooperate?”
“Then, will you co-operate!?”
“Of course! If I am helping you, then it’s the same as a hundred people helping you out! Shall we quickly find him together?  Did you find any information on the Ripper Demon?”
“He is not so tall, bald head, and has a huge scar on his face.”
When I said that to Iguru, he smiled.
“That much is more than enough.”
After I said that, Iguru jumped up the tallest house nearest to us.
What is he planning to do from there?

“Iguru, what are you doing by going up there?”
“Ah! It"s one of my skills called Eagle Eyes. If I use this then anything really far can be seen quite clearly for me! I will search for that person from up here!”
As I thought, it was the best choice to ask for help from Iguru.

If its like this,
“Found him Yuma! He is a short man with a scratch on his face and a bald head! He seems to be a little north from Zinnia, inside an alley.”
“Thanks a lot, Iguru!”
“Go quickly! I can’t move for a while since I have used Eagle Eyes with full power. But, I shall keep my eyes fixed on his location.”
“Leave it to me!”
And then, I ran to the place where Iguru pointed to, at full speed.
After a while, I was able to reach the place.

And then,
Found you Bakiru……
Are you still trying to find prey while in my presence?
A knife in hand, He seems to be in position to attack any pa.s.sing prey.
I smirk while looking at his figure.
It seems like Bakiru without any doubt at all. Still, let my confirm just to make sure.

{Appraisal}

Bakiru

Level: 40

Strength: 45

Endurance: 47

Agility: 78

Luck: 67

{Skills}

Knife Arts: Level 3

Stealth: Level 2

Sign Inference: Level 1

{t.i.tles}

Psychopath

There is no doubt about it………The man in front of me is the one I wanted to find.
Calm down....
Alright, I calm myself down slowly.
Let"s do this….
I take out the Poison Knife from my Item Box and activate Sign Isolation.
“Let"s go Bakiru!”
I run toward the location of Bakiru and reach his back.
I stab the knife directly into Bakiru’s neck.
“Don’t Move!”
Bakiru was completely taken a back from my voice
I see, Bakiru can hear my voice, but he can’t point out where it is coming from since I am using Sign Isoation.
I remove Sign isolation so that he can see who I am. (ED: Doesn"t make any sense. I guess monologue is more important than risking your life to complete your task)
“Wh-who a-are you!”
“Me? I am the one who has come to capture you by the request of the guild, I am an Adventurer.”
“An Adventurer! What kind have a skill did you just use?”
“Is there a need to answer a person who will die soon? Do you have any last words to tell me before you die?” (ED: *Throws Flag*)
“YOU! Are you going to kill me?”
“Even if I capture you here, you"re still gonna get Corporal Punishment. It won’t be much of a difference even if I kill you. N? Have I said anything wrong?”

Suddenly, Bakiru starts to laugh.
“He~tsu, You think just because of that skill you used that you are a verteran, are you possibly a newbie adventurer?”
“Why do you think so?”
“You have a lot of gaps, you idiot! ahahahahaha.”

Bakiru twists his body and gets out of my restraints.
His neck is currently injured, but he doesn’t seem to be that bothered about it.
“Too bad, Adventurer! If you had just killed me earlier!”
Bakiru suddenly makes a face as if he has won.
“I am! I am not a person who will die here! I still have a lot of women to rip apart!”
“He seems to have quite the talkative tongue!”
“You definntely have quite the amazing skills but! Your still a newbie adventurer…..so……that……”
Bakiru collapsed on the spot with the same triumphant expression on his face.
Fumu, it seems to have taken quite some time. (ED: *Picks up Flag*)

“What……is…..this?”
“The Paralysis and Poision seem to have finally taken quite the effect.”
“When……did……you, that knife……tsu””
He notices the knife in my hand.
“Ahh, this thing here is the Poison Knife that has the effect of Paralyzing and Poisoning a victim who is slashed by it. The poison dissolved in the blood stream. Isn"t it useful?”
“Impossi….blewhendid……you””
“Well, honestly, I was planning on killing you siliently without you knowing, but that would be too much of a waste. I couldn’t let you die so easily, so I will take my time and make sure that you die slowly.” (ED: MC finally growing a pair :D)
“……! ?”

”Oh? You can’t talk anymore, can you? Ah! Well, don’t worry too much about it. Hardly anyone will ever come here after all.”
“……!....!”
“You probably have about ten minutes before you die.”
“Well, I guess with this, you can repent on all those you have hurt until now.”
When I said that to Bakiru, he lost his consciousness due to fear.
I have no choice.
I move closer to his head, and I cut it off.

“Request completed……Right?”
