My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess
Chapter 37: Who Did I Offend?

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Who Did I Offend?

Oga Masato’s uncle, Oga Masaaki, fell from grace quickly, not to mention some young lady hastened to nail his coffin shut.

That night, while he was still having a romantic dream with his lover, an unfamiliar phone call suddenly came in, politely asking if he were an executive committee member of Akihisa High School’s board.

He initially thought it was his wife catching him in the act, and he was so frightened he almost jumped out of bed. Upon realizing it was a stranger, he angrily cursed at the caller.

The other party was not annoyed, patiently waiting for Oga Masaaki to finish before politely stating, "Committee Member Oga, as per the school board’s notice, you don’t need to come to the school from tomorrow onwards. We will have someone handle the handover of work related to the school’s organizational seal."

"You’re fired."

Oga Masaaki was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly wanted to ask who the stranger was, but the other party hung up immediately after the notice, leaving Oga Masaaki no chance.

His lover also woke up, rubbing her eyes, and asked, "What’s happened?"

Oga Masaaki blankly replied, "Just now someone said I seem to have been fired from the academy."

His lover panicked too, knowing that the financial backing behind Akihisa High School was quite extraordinary, a rising new power. It wasn’t easy for her to cling onto this high branch of Oga Masaaki, how could it end so swiftly!

How could your career end so fast! I absolutely can’t tolerate this!

"Could it be a scam call?" the lover hurriedly asked.

"Possible." Oga Masaaki was also somewhat baffled, quickly regaining his composure, "I haven’t made any mistakes recently, nor participated in any internal power faction struggles, no reason to use me as a scapegoat."

While he was comforting himself like this, a new call came in, from none other than his boss Nishiyama Kenichi. Upon answering, a tirade of scolding greeted him.

"Are you insane?! How dare you provoke anyone!"

"Having a subordinate like you is my misfortune for eight lifetimes!"

"Forget about going to work! Pack your stuff and go back home to grow watermelons! You fool."

Oga Masaaki, shaking in his fatty frame from the scolding, hurriedly asked, "Nishiyama-san, what happened?"

Nishiyama Kenichi replied sternly, "How could you ask what happened? Is that lady someone you can offend? Do you find your life too smooth sailing?"

He was also unlucky, being woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call because one of his subordinates caused a huge mess. It made him so angry he nearly vomited blood.

Even though the lady on the other end sweetly called him Uncle Nishiyama, he dared not act with any elder status. Upon learning the whole story, he immediately called to vent his rage.

The core message was, if you want to dig your own grave, go ahead, take a bullet train and kill yourself, just don’t drag me along.

"Fool! Come over tomorrow to pack your stuff and get out! Eyesore!"

Nishiyama Kenichi said harshly and hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal, Oga Masaaki’s small eyes were filled with great confusion.

Who am I? Where am I? Who did I actually offend?

The next day, when Oga Masaaki arrived at his office, he discovered his belongings were already packed.

He was so furious he almost fainted. This was too fast; they say people leave and tea gets cold, I barely started leaving, and the tea has almost turned into iced tea!

Is this how you bully people?

The gazes of his fellow executive committee members carried a hint of schadenfreude. This guy was a high-flying executive committee member yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, he became unemployed, needing unemployment benefits to get by.

Who could stand such a situation?

Oga Masato, upon hearing about his uncle’s fall, rushed over astounded, catching a last look at him at Akihisa High School.

"This... Uncle, were you ousted in a high-level coup?"

Oga Masaaki sighed a long breath, seeming to have aged several years, "Maybe, there are some things I’m not at liberty to say..."

Damn it! I really want to know who on earth set me up!

Oga Masaaki was both afraid and resentful of that mysterious young lady, angry because why would she, without grievance or enmity, target a pure and kind middle-aged man like himself. Afraid because she made him unemployed with one move; if there was another, wouldn’t he end up in jail?

Hmm? Feels like I’m setting up some sort of flag?

Oga Masato was also sensible, "Since you’re no longer at Akihisa, uncle, I won’t stay here for school either; I’m planning to have dad help me transfer."

He saw it clearly, now that his uncle was out, his only hope for turning things around at Akihisa was with him. Now that his uncle fell, he naturally couldn’t reverse his reputation alone.

"It’s just a pity not being able to take down that annoying Shirakawa Sawahei! That kid’s skills are surprisingly good; couldn’t cripple him yesterday!"

Oga Masaaki picked up on something and asked, "You went after him yesterday?"

Oga Masato nodded, "Yeah, spent a bit of money, but unfortunately didn’t succeed."

"His sister was there too, but sadly couldn’t embarrass him."

Oga Masaaki was puzzled for a moment, "Shirakawa Sawahei’s file records him as an only child."

Oga Masato didn’t react immediately, "Huh? Not a sister?"

Asano Nazuki had just transferred a few days ago; he hadn’t expanded his social circle to include her. Plus, with the petite loli figure hiding behind Shirakawa Sawahei, only a small head was visible, leading him to assume she was his younger sister.

"Maybe a classmate then..." Oga Masaaki didn’t dwell on the point. Just as he was about to sigh about the gains and losses in life and flaunt a bit in front of his nephew, his nephew tugged on his clothes and pointed to a girl.

"Seems to be that girl! Turns out she’s wearing Akihisa’s uniform too..."

He pointed to the small-chested loli Asano Nazuki passing by nearby.

Oga Masaaki took one look, and his blood pressure skyrocketed.

"You!!! You... oh! You... turned out to be..."

The mole who harmed me was found, it was my nephew.

Oga Masaaki almost lost his breath, his face flushed, and smacked Oga Masato’s head.

"Are you insane?! How dare you provoke anyone!"

"Having a nephew like you is my misfortune for eight lifetimes!"

"Forget about going to school! Pack your stuff and go back home to grow watermelons! You fool."

He altered his boss’s words slightly and threw them all at his unlucky nephew, finally venting some of his anger.

Oga Masato’s small eyes were instantly filled with great confusion.

Who am I? Where am I? Who did I actually offend?
