An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 200: Guilty Part 1 (Third Party Perspective)

"This is fine."

 A girl speaks to herself while quietly shaking her twintails.

"I'll contact everyone now ..."

 The girl takes out her smartphone and sends a message to people who are on 'LINNE'.

"The rest is tomorrow ..."

 The girl speaks to herself again, lays down on her bed, and falls asleep.

 The next day.

"Everyone, thank you for coming!!"

"Hmm."

"I'm curious too, and that's fine, but ..."

 The girl, Satou Nanami, is waiting for Katsuragi Alexia and Kurosaki Rei in front of the station, wearing a long coat, sunglasses, and a mask in the heat of July.

 The time is 8:30.

 Since it's Sunday, there is not much commuting rush hour, but people are still walking. Those people are sending flickering glances at Nanami, who is excessively standing out, but Nanami herself doesn't notice it. Shia's expression doesn't change in particular, but Rei is perplexed.

"That's right, both of you should wear this."

 Nanami takes out two paper bags from her Expansion Bag and hands them to the others.

"Um, this is, no way ..."

"Yeah ... It's detective goods!!"

 They receive the bags, open them a little to check it out, and when they fearfully ask Nanami to confirm it, she puffs out her chest and declares with a triumphant face that even after wearing a mask and sunglasses, could be understood.

"This is a little ..."

"Hmm."

 Rei and Alexia return the bags to Nanami.

"Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh!? Isn't this the formal style of tailing?"

"No, on the contrary, this one will stand out, you know? It's better to dress normally."

"What ... that!?"

 She doesn't understand the meaning of having it returned, so she asks Rei since she doesn't know, and learning the truth of having it returned, Nanami is shocked and lost for words.

"Sh, Shia-oneechan, do you think so, too?"

"Hmm."

"Whyyyyyy!!"

 If it's just Rei, it might be her subjective opinion, so Nanami asks Alexia with a ray of hope, but without any hesitation, she shakes her head vertically, so she cries out loud to the sky.

"H, hey, Nanami-chan. Here isn't a good place. Let's move a little and change clothes."

"Eh, ah, yeah."

 More and more people are whispering about Nanami, so Rei hurriedly moves to a place with less people.

"Exchange ..."

 Nanami changes into normal clothes while feeling depressed.

"Phew. This is fine."

"Hmm."

 Rei and Shia's ahoge look relieved when they see Nanami back in her normal clothes.

"Even though I was prepared ..."

"No matter how you look at it, wearing a coat in the middle of summer will make you stand out."

"Yeaaah ..."

 Nanami, who is depressed because her disguise was rejected, reluctantly replies after being disqualified by Rei, a covert professional.

"Then, let's pull ourselves together and start the Onii-chan tailing operation."

"Hmm."

"I wonder if it's really okay ..."

 Yes, if you ask why these three people are gathered here, it's because Satou Fuhito will accompany Shimotsuki Amane shopping today. Nanami is at an age where she is very anxious when her older brother goes out alone with a woman.

 For that reason, she proposed to follow them, and since they were both curious, they agreed with Nanami's opinion and gathered here.

 Now that Shia understands her feelings of love, she feels uneasy, so she agrees without any negative opinion, but as for Rei, she is an adult, so it's hard for her to accept the criminal act of tailing him because of her common sense.

"Rei-chan, what are you saying? At this rate, Acchan will take my Onii-chan away, right?"

"No, well, that might be so ... However, I still don't like it ..."

 Nanami asks the indecisive Rei with an extremely serious expression. As for Rei, the current state, though his abilities are extremely surprising, other than that, he gives the impression of a normal young man.

 Of course, if it's with him, she has feelings to the extent that it would be nice if she had that kind of relationship.

"That's what I said, but if you fall in love with him, he might already have a partner!!"

"I, I understand. I'm curious too, so I'll follow you ..."

 Nanami thrusts her finger at Rei, who falters and makes an ambiguous answer. When told such, the weak Rei reluctantly agrees.

"Any time now, Onii-chan might come, so everyone brace yourself."

"Hmm."

"Roger."

 Nanami and the others, who have unified their intentions, watch the situation in front of the station from behind the scenes.

"Send it to everyone. Invisible."

 Nanami places the magic of invisibility to hide the signs of everyone. The invisibility doesn't actually make them invisible, but it is a magic that makes you be treated as a stone on the road to some extent.

 If she doesn't use this magic, they may not be seen by Fuhito, but from behind it can be seen that you are a suspicious person. Besides, it is also to hide their presence from Fuhito who has sharp senses.

"Ah, he's here!! It's Onii-chan!!"

 Nanami shouts in a quiet voice. At the end of her line of sight, a fashionable Fuhito is walking.

"Different from usual."

"Yeah, he kind of looks like a model."

"Yeah, yeah, Onii-chan is really cool!!"

 Alexia and Rei are captivated by the sight of Fuhito, and Nanami nods several times in satisfaction.

"Ah, Acchan."

 After a while, just before the appointed time, Amane smiles and lightly rushes towards Fuhito.

"Acchan has resolved herself to be fashionable!!"

"Hmm. Cute."

"It's a bold fashion that I can't do. I think it shows Amane-chan's body well."

 Amane has also chosen her plain clothes perfectly. Each of the three give their opinion.

"Ah, Acchan's face is blushing!!"

"Maybe he complimented her on her outfit today. That would do it."

"Hmm. She's happy to be praised."

"Because I taught you, Onii-chan!!"

 The three of them are inconsistent, predicting what Fuhito did based on Amane's appearance, expressing their impressions, and making a smug face.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! Acchan is arm-in-arm with Onii-chan!! Jealous!!"

"Satou-kun doesn't seem to dislike it, either. I, I wonder if I should do it too."

"Hmm. I'll do it next time."

"I also want to fold my arms with Onii-chan ~. Gugigigigigigiii."

 Seeing Amane take advantage of her innocent personality and linking arms with Fuhito, the three of them envy her, and Nanami in particular grinds her teeth.

"Let's move soon!!"

"Hmm."

"Roger."

 After seeing them off as they enter the station, the three hurriedly follow them.
