Chapter 4: Proper Disposal

So. I am nearing completion on this plan of mine, which is to murder this little slut over here. And take note, she's actually dead and now inside this large ice box right now, so all I have to do is to dump, or practically bury her body in the forested area outside Fuyuki City.

I decided to check her body once more before I bring her there, just to make sure. And as I can see it, she's still stiff, pale and cold. Unless that I'm right about the feeling that she gained a bit of complexion, there's no way that this girl is going to be alive again.

Okay. So I've worn my hooded jacket and cargo pants, and I also carried a prop hiking bag with me, because I wouldn't totally look like a camper if I don't bring one, and I also needed to carry the shovel somewhere without obviously looking like I'm about to dump a dead body.

So, now that I'm all dressed up with my perfect disguise, I think I should start walking to the site.

As I stepped out the door and walked my way to that place, the first person I saw was an old woman sweeping the road in front of her house. She then looked at me and said "Are you going to camp out, young man?" with a smile. I then smiled back and said "Yes." Good thing old people are feeble and stupid, so I guess she would easily forget the direction of where I'm going. And besides, is it obvious that I'm carrying Sakura inside this ice box? No. So therefore, I'm safe.

I have a feeling that someone is following me, but I guess that's just me because no one, as in no one, knows what I'm going to do. Those two "visitors" don't know a thing about what happened last night, anyway.

The next thing I saw right after that old woman is a bunch of kids going to school, around five to seven years old. Well, they did look at me, but I guess I'm still safe after all because they just passed by. And besides, those kids will just think I'm camping. Right?

Right?

And after thirty minutes of walking from my house, I finally reached my destination: The forested areas outside this city. Well, I guess I must find a viable place to bury this corpse.

In picking where to bury a corpse, there are two things you must keep in mind. The first thing is if people could easily know where you buried the body. Since I'm in the woods right now, I obviously couldn't just dig in the hiking trail or anything where people usually would go. Instead, I plan to make a grave in a wide space between the trees.

The second thing to keep in mind when creating a makeshift grave for your victim's corpse is the distance. It should be very far from the murder scene, so that the police would have at least a hard time before they find it. If possible, do not dump the body in the same town or city where you have killed the victim. But since I am just on foot, I plan to just make it a far enough from my house, the murder scene.

Although this ice box is wheeled so that I could just pull it, I already felt a bit tired from all the walking I did. But I'm pretty sure I still have the strength to walk a bit more and dig once I get there. Although I really get that feeling that someone is following me, I guess I must not worry about anything anymore and start finding a place to "camp".

After another thirty minutes of walking, I finally found a good spot to bury the body. This place can be reached by walking fifteen minutes from the dirt road of the forested area, and the place is wide enough for me to dig a good grave for this corpse. Looks like I finally have to say goodbye to you, Sakura.

I plan on digging a hole around four to five feet deep, or at least three feet just to make sure that when she rots, people passing by this place wouldn't smell decay. Take note, most shallow graves can easily discovered by the police, so I plan to make it a bit deeper.

I don't know why I get the feeling that someone is following me, but I guess I should start digging, bury this corpse and leave this place immediately.

I then put down my prop hiking bag on the ground and took the shovel from it. Before I start digging, I was prompted to open the ice box and check Sakura's body. To make sure that nobody sees me doing this, I took a quick look around. I decided to finally take her out of ice box. And from the last time that I saw and carried her in my arms, I noticed that wasn't as cold as she felt. Her body also had been less stiff than before, and she did gain considerable coloration. Maybe, this was because I stored her inside the ice box, without any ice. I then made the corpse lie down on the ground and started digging, so that I could easily pick her up and throw her on the hole once this digging is done.

Well, the preparations in digging have already been done, so let's get started with the digging.

….Wait, did I just hear a gunshot or something?
