Chapter 101.1

Chapter 101.1. Detective Yamiyo!

In the end, we made small talk and headed home. I exchanged contact information with Tsuki, and that was enough of an accomplishment. I couldn’t exchange contact information with Shin. Perhaps the mob’s destiny-modifying power was at work.

Strangely enough, right before I exchanged contact information with Shin, the battery on my phone ran out. Strange, isn’t it, that I still had 80% left? Sei-chan frowned and held out her hand toward my phone for some reason. I wonder what happened to it.

So, the adventurers talked about another time, and I invited them to play at my house today, and they decided to play at the Takano house. Tomorrow is Saturday, so Miu is happy that her friends will be staying over.

It’s Miu’s spacious nursery, in front of a huge monitor, and the 6 of us are playing a game. The soft, fluffy, long-haired carpet gives a sleepy feeling. Of course, no shoes are allowed. We used to move around the mansion. It’s one of the good things about being born in Japan.

“Is Kanna Shin suspicious?”

I ponder what Yamiyo said as we all play a game of dropping the opponent into the other world with our attacks.

.

“Yes, he was in the Adventurer’s Guild, even though he’s supposed to be an ordinary person who has not awakened his mana. That’s extremely strange.”

Yamiyo nodded as she manipulated the swordsman with quick controller handling and attacked the dragon Sei-chan was controlling, dropping it into the other world.

It’s true. Kanna Shin is supposed to awaken his mana after he’s banished at 12. He’s abandoned in an abandoned area where monsters roam and is attacked by monsters like the usual template. When his life was in danger, he’d awaken his mana and defeat the monsters. Then, he runs out of strength and falls. A witch passes by and saves him. [That magic is…], along with the usual lines.

The banished protagonist is strong. But, he was in the Adventurer’s Guild, even though he hadn’t awakened? He was wearing Simple Magical Armor. That’s strange.

“Did he already awaken his mana?”

“If the eldest son of Duke Kanna awakened to mana, there would be a grand celebration. However, I haven’t heard a shred of such a rumor.”

“Besides, a barbecue contest is an easy-to-understand pick-up. He was eavesdropping on our conversation.”

Mhm, Tamamo’s eyes grow steely, and she manipulates the controller. It’s funny how she moves her body left and right in time with her character’s movements. Or perhaps that was a pick-up? I was thinking, Oh yeah, there’s a barbecue party at the right time. Everyone’s so smart.

“Mama said it’s time for you to be a woman and be aware of your surroundings: oh, no, not that attack!”

“Because we’ve become cute too~ Fufufu, special move!”

“Can I have another juice?”

Hoku-chan and the others also call attention to me. They’re only 10 years old, but they’re chatty. Girls mature more precociously than boys, just like in previous lives. Oh, they got my snake, too. Everyone is so good at this game. They say it’s called Crash Sisters.

“But he hasn’t awakened his mana, huh…….”

Hmmm, I think with my tiny hand on my chin. Indeed, just as in the original story. At this point, Shin has never awakened his mana. Hmmm? Putting my doubts in my eyes, I asked Yamiyo, who had beaten the enemy hard and was now fighting Tamamo one-on-one.

“Yamiyo, can you use [Magic Eyes] without awakening to mana?”

[Magic Eyes]. As the name implies, it’s a magic eye. Even if it’s passive, isn’t mana still circulating in the eye?

“I don’t know anyone who is a [Magic Eyes] user, so I don’t know much about it. ……”

“You can’t use it.”

“What?”

Yamiyo tried to answer that she didn’t know, but Tamamo, who shot down Yamiyo’s character, told me without hesitation. Huh? You can’t use it.

“There’s a [Magic Eyes] magic tool in Tamamo’s house. The one you can’t use unless you put mana into it.”

Seriously? That’s an unexpected answer. I thought it was gray, but there was a friend in front of me who had the answer.

“[Magic Eyes] only uses a little mana, but you still need to be a magician to use it. Before I awakened my mana, Tamamo once tried to secretly use [Magic Eyes of Sleep], but couldn’t use it~.”

She was a cute fox-kin who was thinking of using it as a prank, teehee, but then she uttered an important piece of information.

“…Then, we can’t trust that person. Why is Duke Kanna hiding the fact that his heir awakened his mana?”

“It’s like he’s stating that he’s awakened his mana by visiting the Adventurer’s Guild.”

If the three of us were together, we would have come up with some Buddha’s wisdom, but I don’t know what it means, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Ticktockpoon. Do I need to become a skinhead first?

“Maybe he’s out of the system. I think he can only use a small amount of mana, and say he’s awakened. So I guess he’s trying to get used to handling mana by defeating the monsters in the dungeon.”

The laid-back Sei-chan opens her mouth as if it’s nothing, sipping her juice with a kupikupi. What’s that? Mii-chan doesn’t know. Doesn’t everyone know too much? Miu smiles and becomes the silent person in the corner of the meeting, you know?

“You know a lot, Sei-chan.”

“My papa is a scholar. Can I have another juice?”

“No, you don’t need another glass of juice. It’ll make your stomach growl. It’s still outside the system. Are you weak outside the system?”

“Ummm…can I have another glass of juice?”

“I’ll share mine. I don’t care if you can’t eat dinner, okay?”

I handed her my juice, which I had not yet drunk, and she loosened her face.
