Chapter 384: Future Plans

"But after thinking about it, I feel like torturing someone like that is too cliché. Honestly, I'm not that interested in you."

As Roa said this, he stepped on Sugou Nobuyuki's head and rubbed it a few times.

"But since things have come to this, your existence will definitely make things difficult for me, so it's better if you just die."

Saying this, Roa smiled at Sugou Nobuyuki, as if talking about something insignificant.

This kind of thing was indeed insignificant to Roa. The life or death of an ordinary person was nothing; if he died, he died. He had countless ways to cover it up.

Sugou Nobuyuki's face turned pale, his mind dizzy, and he was completely unable to speak.

He opened his mouth, but only a whimper came out. He wanted to beg for mercy, but Roa would never give him a chance to speak.

After picking his ear and letting magic power spread throughout Sugou Nobuyuki's body, Roa used healing magic to restore him to his original state. The injuries he had inflicted earlier weren't serious, so it was easy to restore him.

Of course, Roa didn't plan to let him off so easily.

Roa glanced at Sugou Nobuyuki expressionlessly. The next moment, invisible threads began to wrap around Sugou Nobuyuki's body. The black threads began to change, turning white and gradually becoming transparent.

Sugou Nobuyuki quickly noticed something was wrong. His body began to move without his control.

If physical pain could make Sugou Nobuyuki suffer, then gradually losing control of his body filled him with terror.

Sugou Nobuyuki asked in a hoarse, trembling voice, "What, what have you done?"

Roa responded with a sneer.

"It's obvious, I'm controlling you. Your body is no longer yours."

After Roa finished speaking, he took two steps forward and stood in front of Sugou Nobuyuki, clapping his hands.

Sugou Nobuyuki began to walk forward slowly.

At first, the movements were stiff, but the stiffness gradually faded, and in the end, it was no different from Sugou Nobuyuki's usual movements.

The horror on Sugou Nobuyuki's face grew. This was something he couldn't understand or tolerate.

Sugou Nobuyuki wanted to speak, but Roa didn't give him the chance.

"Next, I'll control your body for now. You just need to watch obediently."

Roa's tone returned to normal, and his expression didn't change much. Roa opened the door, and only Asuna's older brother from the Yuuki family was standing at the door.

Because the magic power isolated the inside from the outside, he didn't know what had happened inside the room.

Seeing the door open, the young man forced a smile at Roa.

Roa looked around and didn't see Kyouko Yuuki, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Come in."

The young man walked into the room, looked at Sugou Nobuyuki standing silently to the side, and then looked at Asuna Yuuki lying on the bed. Naturally, the expression on his face wasn't good.

Roa said directly, "You can call the police now. I've already figured out everything."

The young man's originally gloomy face was replaced by shock. He stood up and said in disbelief, "W-what?"

Realizing what was happening, he took out his phone from his pocket, preparing to dial a number, but his expression turned strange halfway through.

The young man looked at Sugou Nobuyuki, who had a panicked look in his eyes, but his body was standing straight. Although the expression on his face was unnatural, it all felt strange.

The young man hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "He, Sugou, really confessed?"

He had spent time with Sugou Nobuyuki more than once or twice, and this kind of thing wasn't a joke. Once it was exposed, he would spend at least half his life in prison.

Based on his understanding of Sugou Nobuyuki, he didn't think Sugou Nobuyuki would surrender so easily unless there was evidence in front of him. Otherwise, with this guy's personality, he wouldn't honestly admit it.

So, what exactly happened?

What did Roa do in just a few minutes to make Sugou Nobuyuki admit it so readily?

The young man was puzzled, but since things had already reached this point, he could only do what he had to do.

In less than twenty minutes, the sound of police cars came from below. Roa controlled Sugou Nobuyuki and walked towards the police cars. Because Roa was controlling Sugou Nobuyuki, he answered every question. To avoid any accidents, Roa simply used his mental power to control him completely.

In other words, Sugou Nobuyuki was now completely a puppet in Roa's hands. He could only do what Roa wanted him to do, without any room for resistance.

Three police officers got out of the police car. They were all young men and quickly figured out the situation. The young man knew why his father and mother had left so anxiously. They probably wanted to quickly get evidence and rescue their daughter from that world.

In fact, Sugou Nobuyuki was doomed from the start. Roa just rarely saw this guy running around and sent him in early.

The police asked some questions, and Roa hypnotized Sugou Nobuyuki, making him tell all the truths in his heart. For a time, Asuna's older brother's expression became extremely interesting.

He glared at Sugou Nobuyuki, his expression becoming quite wonderful. Even the three police officers present looked at the scum in front of them with disgust.

Roa even suspected that he would rush up and punch Sugou Nobuyuki hard if the police weren't there.

In fact, the young man was really holding back a fire in his heart.

After the police briefly understood the situation and recorded the process, they directly took Sugou Nobuyuki into the police car.

Roa didn't leave with them but chose to stay in the room.

The rooms were all independent. Standing at the top and looking down, he could see the police car below.

The police put Sugou Nobuyuki in the car, and soon they started the police car and drove away.

Roa raised his right hand, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. He opened his right hand, and Roa's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of killing intent.

The next moment, he clenched his right hand, and this action seemed to trigger some kind of rule. The police car that had just driven not far away suddenly stopped. The police officers in the car got out. Roa's eyesight was very good, and even from a distance, he could see the panic on the police officers' faces.

Roa smiled faintly. The matter was done. Roa directly crushed Sugou Nobuyuki's heart. Sugou Nobuyuki was now dead beyond dead.

This kind of thing was just a piece of cake for Roa.

The restrictions in this world were great, but when facing an ordinary person, Roa had too many ways to kill him.

Looking at the kettle lying on the ground, Roa picked it up and placed it on the small table.

Roa came to the door and closed it.

He was once again alone in the room.

The midday sun was quite dazzling. Although it was autumn, the temperature had also risen significantly.

Standing here and looking down, he could see most of the buildings below. This was a bustling city, with people coming and going, all living their own lives.

The light was a bit too dazzling. Roa got up and pulled the curtains halfway, halving the light in the room. Roa sat quietly next to Asuna Yuuki.

The room returned to its usual tranquility, and time slowed down at this moment.

Asuna Yuuki would naturally wake up. Roa had no worries about this.

But what should he do after she wakes up?

Roa's mind was constantly thinking.

Should he take Asuna Yuuki to that world?

Thinking back to this question, Roa became hesitant again.

Roa was a philandering person. He knew this. He was surrounded by many girls.

Eris, Iris, Mitsuri Kanroji, or Roxy.

These people were his wives, or in other words, his confidantes.

He loved them, and they loved him.

Although it sounded a bit narcissistic, it was indeed the case.

However, in the end, a person's love was limited. No matter how Roa made excuses or avoided it, when this love was divided into countless parts, how much of this love could be left on them?

No matter how many excuses he made for himself, there was a limit to philandering.

And now, Roa had to pay for his current philandering.

Asuna Yuuki was a sensitive person.

Roa had always known this. The girl was strong, but at the same time, she was also extremely fragile.

If she knew that Roa had so many confidantes by his side without saying a word, she would probably be very sad, or she would become very tormented.

Asuna Yuuki was a person who lived in the modern world. She was different from everyone else around Roa.

The worlds that Roa had traveled to actually allowed polygamy, but this world wasn't like that.

If he just blurted it out, he would undoubtedly be creating trouble for himself.

Now, Roa had two options: one was to bring Asuna Yuuki back to his world.

Honestly, that was what Roa had been thinking at first.

But now, after thinking about it, it might not be the most correct choice.

Asuna Yuuki was an ordinary person.

She seemed a bit out of place in the world of Mushoku Tensei.

Asking himself honestly, was it really a good thing to bring Asuna Yuuki to Mushoku Tensei?

Was it really a good thing to involve her in such things?

Roa didn't know.

Roa was now a bit lost, caught in a dilemma.

Looking at Asuna Yuuki, Roa thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a suitable answer.

Time passed slowly. Roa stayed by Asuna Yuuki's side, from morning to afternoon, until it was almost dark, before preparing to leave.

Although Roa was a bit hesitant, he still had an answer in his heart.

It was better to keep this a secret from her.

This was undoubtedly a very irresponsible decision, but Roa believed it was the most correct thing to do.

After figuring this out, Roa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart became clearer.

Leaving the hospital, he yawned lazily and walked towards the Kirigaya residence.

His physical fitness had declined a lot, and he was restricted by the power of the rules, which made Roa feel like he was being held back.

Now, Roa felt like a large water tank filled with water, but there was a small hole in the tank, only allowing people to use the water that came out of the small hole.

His mind was still thinking about Asuna Yuuki's matter. He took the last bus and slowly returned home.

He knocked on the door, and soon the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor came from inside.

When the door opened, he saw not Kazuto Kirigaya, but a girl much shorter than him.

Suguha Kirigaya.

The girl had grown out of her childishness. Roa recalled in his mind that Suguha should have entered middle school at this time.

She was probably fourteen years old?

When Suguha saw Roa, her expression froze slightly, then she lowered her head and walked away coldly.

This reaction surprised Roa. Roa came to the entrance, took off his shoes, and walked barefoot towards the living room.

Kazuto Kirigaya was holding his phone, grinning foolishly.

Roa leaned over to take a look and found that he was chatting on LINE.

Startled by Roa's sudden peek, Kazuto Kirigaya quickly covered the screen with his hand and glared at Roa angrily, "Hey, even though you're my older brother, please respect my privacy, okay?"

Roa curled his lips, pulled out a chair and sat down, casually saying, "It's that purple-haired girl, right?"

Roa saw through him, and Kazuto Kirigaya's cheeks flushed instantly. Roa shook his head with some boredom and said casually, "You're still so easily embarrassed. You need to change that."

Kazuto Kirigaya didn't delve into that topic, but changed to another one, saying, "It seems like things are going well. You should have seen Asuna Yuuki, right? You're in such a good mood. I've never seen you talk so much before."

As Kazuto Kirigaya said this, Suguha Kirigaya happened to pass by. Suguha Kirigaya's footsteps noticeably paused. She naturally pulled out a chair, then sat down, preparing to listen to their conversation.

SAO.

This world is a world that makes people feel pain, especially for Suguha Kirigaya.

This world deprived her of her two older brothers, trapping them in that world for several years. This made the originally lively family become desolate in an instant.

In the past, every time Suguha Kirigaya came home, she could see her eldest brother cooking and her second brother sitting in a chair playing on his phone.

But when the two of them were trapped in the SAO world, she never saw such scenes again.
