What? a harem novel can also have character development

"Lee-kun?" Lee and Akane were teleported to an empty street in Akiruno, a neighborhood in western Tokyo. Akane wondered how they had gotten there. "Where is this place?"

"Wait" Lee said and with a quick thought, he discovered that Gantz had healed the cuckold teacher's injuries, bringing him back to a stable condition. He used his powers to immobilize Narumi Kanai, ensuring that he posed no further threat.

"Arghh, my legs! Why are you doing this to me?!" Narumi Kanai, who had just recovered, was again lying on the ground, rolling in pain. Why is this kid so ruthless? He admits that he was a bit impulsive when he wanted to attack Lee before, but he already got his punishment.

Why is he trying to make his life hell?

"Oh, don't be such a baby, dear teacher. I just wanted to make sure you don't pull any more stunts like that. Plus, it's not like you have any use for those legs now, considering what Akane did to your pepe," Lee quipped with a smirk, relishing in the fact that he had immobilized the cuckold once again.

"How is it possible for him to recover?" Akane asked in amazement. A moment ago, Narumi was lying on the ground, his lower half reduced to a mangled mess by Akane's relentless stomping. But now, he was back on his feet, fully healed and whole. How could this be possible?

"Perhaps it's the work of the ball," Lee surmised. "It wouldn't make sense for him to send injured players to hunt aliens." He knew that Gantz would heal the injured players after the hunt ends, but he wasn't sure if Gantz would do the same when the hunt starts.

"Since we're outside, can we finally go home now?" Akane breathed a sigh of relief as she realized they had left the Gantz room. Her mental state had been on edge during her time inside, the pressure nearly unbearable. But now, with the possibility of returning home, she couldn't help but wonder if it was truly possible.

Just like 90% of the players she ignored the obviouse facts, and wanted to go to her home.

Lee didn't answer her. He was considering killing his cuckold teacher, because he was a potential threat right now.

No matter how small the threat is, he cannot leave it unattended.

But he was hesitating. He had never killed someone before, he couldn't just start killing like a Chinese MC.

Ultimately he decided against doing it.

He knew that killing someone, even if it was for self-defense, was not something to take lightly. He didn't want to become a murderer in Akane's eyes.

After weighing the options, Lee ultimately decided to let Narumi be. He knew that the police would likely catch him if he managed to survive this hunt. In addition, Gantz would detonate the bomb implanted in his head if he revealed any secrets. Furthermore, getting rid of Narumi in this way would also solve Akane's problem with the corpse in her house and the potential questioning from the police.

Akane told him about the men who died with her. She spoke of her past relationship with Narumi Kanai, and how he had become a persistent stalker despite her attempts to end things with him. She casually mentioned how he had broken into her home while she was discussing business with another man and tried to attack her.

He could smell the bullshit from miles away, but he didn't expose her. He wasn't interested in her as a person much less her life, all he want is her p*ssy.

Solving the cuckold in this way can help Akane take care of her own problems without involving Lee. It's better than Lee killing him with his own hands.

This is the most effective way to squeeze the cuckold's value before killing him.

For a brief moment, Lee felt like he was a villain. But then he remembered, oh wait, no he's not a villain, he's just a scumbag who's wasting his time trying to help his beautiful teacher.

"A moment of contemplation, if I may," Lee spoke in a solemn tone, his eyes focused on the task at hand. As Akane watched, he then turned his attention to the surroundings, taking in every detail with a critical eye. "We must first fully grasp the gravity of our situation before making any decisions," he continued, his voice filled with a sense of solemnity as he shared his thoughts with Akane.

Obviously, he knows what kind of situation they are in, but he must pretend like he doesn't know; if he doesn't act like this, he will seem suspicious not only to Akane, but also to those watching him.

Once he is strong enough, he will ganderbend all the people who made this game and have them raped by horny dogs.

Lee took the controller. This thing has many functions and it can also be used as a radar.

As he pressed a few buttons, the controller displayed a map of the hunting zone with dots that represented players and what he assumed were aliens. Interestingly, he noticed seven dots leaving the hunting zone, and they were not far from them on the map.

It seems that everyone has left this place in the few minutes that took them to be teleported.

"A radar? No, it doesn't look like it. What are you doing with this?" Akane saw Lee take the controller that he took from Gantz.

"You guessed right, this is a radar, and those dots are us, see?" Lee explained, pointing to the two dots that represented him and Akane. "And by logic the other dots are the others. Let's go see what they are doing. Let's go see what they are doing." He wanted to show her the other players who were leaving, hoping that by witnessing their deaths, she would be convinced not to leave the hunting zone.

The two left, leaving the cuckold who passed out of pain again, and they headed to meet the others.

"I can't believe we can finally get back to our normal lives," said the soon-to-be-dead-husband as he turned to Hoshi. "Hoshi-san, is this the way to the train station?" The two families, who had just been teleported outside, had decided to leave together. The other three players had chosen to go their separate ways.

Hoshi, who had been to this area before, assured him that there was a train station nearby. "Yes, I've been here before. The train station is not far from here." With no smartphones available in this era, Hoshi had to serve as the group's GPS.

As they walked, Hoshi suddenly paused and cocked his head to the side. "Do you hear that? It sounds like a phone and it's getting louder."

"What is that noise?" The soon-to-be-dead-father asked as he looked around.

"It's getting louder." The teen girl heard the noise getting louder as she walked.

The group listened carefully and realized that there was indeed a voice getting louder as they walked.

"Come on, we need to leave this place. It's not safe," the-soon-to-be-dead-mother said urgently, her fear evident in her voice. She tightly grasped her son's hand and began to run, not looking back at the others or waiting for their response. She was determined to leave with her son as far away from this terrifying place as possible

As she ran away the sound kept getting louder and louder until she left the zone. As soon as she stepped outside the zone, instantaneously her son and her head exploded like a watermelon. The bombs implanted in their heads detonated, their blood and brains splsplattered the pavement.

"Kyaa!!!" The teen girl cried in horror.

Lee and Akane reached the place just in time to witness the gruesome scene. The-soon-to-be-dead-husband fell to his knees beside the corpses of his wife and son, tears streaming down his face as he screamed in agony.

The other players who were with them looked on in shock and horror, some covering their mouths in disgust while others tried to console the husband.

"What the hell is going on? Why did this happen?" The-soon-to-be-dead-husband screamed out, his voice filled with anger and despair, ignoring the sound in his head. When he hugged his son's corpse, his head also exploded following his family's fate.

They deserved theire name, they died in less than 4 chapters.

Lee felt his stomach churn as a sense of horror washed over him. He overestimated his tolerance for such a bloody scene and nearly vomited all of his stomach contents. He may know the plot but this is the first time he saw someone dying. It was a very gruesome death.

"What the hell happened here?" Akane was in shock, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the lifeless bodies, unable to comprehend the scene before her. She couldn't believe that they had just

witnessed the brutal death of a mother and her child.

"It's as the ball said." Lee explained, his voice cold and emotionless in an effort to hide his feelings. "Those who try to leave the hunting zone before the game is over will be killed."

"But why? Why would someone do something so cruel?" Akane whispered, her whole body shaking with sobs.

Lee asked, "Did you forget what the ball said before?"

"Our lives have ended, and how to use it is entirely up to the it" Said the old man who was listening on the side.

"This is what ball meant when he said our lives are over," Lee said, his voice cold and emotionless. "He doesn't care about us as human beings, we're just its pawns."

"But how can we just accept this?" Hoshi cried out. "We have to do something, we can't just let this continue."

"I don't know," Lee admitted. "But for now, we have to play along and survive. Otherwise, we'll end up like them." He gestured to the corpses of the soon to be dead family. Oh they are now dead so we should call them the dead family.

After saying that Lee turned and left. He admitted that he was affected by what he witnessed. However, he has the confidence to leave this game alive and stand on top of this world. He knows what is going to happen in the future and has the power to change it. If, in spite of all the advantages he has, he couldn't achieve that, then it would be better for him to kill himself.
