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

Episode 337: The girls-only gathering trial(Third Party Perspective)

 Noelle is taken to a room in the Satou Family residence.

"At this moment, we will hold a trial on the suspicion of the defendant Noelle Kanon causing great trouble to Onii-chan."

 However, the room is dimly lit with the curtains closed, and lit candles are set up everywhere, creating the atmosphere of a ritual involving black magic or a sabbatical.

 Nanami and the others, who until now were in plain clothes and uniforms, are now wearing black robes and creepy masks with holes in the eyes, further emphasizing the eeriness.

 Noelle is sitting on a cushion in the center of the room, surrounded by masked girls, and a small girl with twin tails wearing a mask on the bed looks down at Noelle with dignity.

"Defendant, state your name, date of birth, address and occupation."

 The twin-tailed masked girl gives instructions to Noelle.

"Noelle Kanon. Born November 8th, 2XX6. Lives in the dormitory of Shinomiya Academy. Occupation is High School student and explorer, desu."

 Noelle obediently follows the instructions and answers honestly. Her expression is dark.

"Black, the accusations."(TN:Nanami says Burakku here, which is Engrish.)

 The twin-tailed masked girl instructs the masked woman with long black hair to read out the charges against her.

"Yes. During the rescue, the defendant Noelle Kanon not only gave Satou-kun a deep kiss while saying something like 'Yuusha-sama', but not satisfied with just that, at the party welcoming Noelle Kanon yesterday, she tried to carelessly mention information that was thought to be confidential. Furthermore, Satou-kun, who prevented it from happening, was threatened using the secret that must be protected as a shield, to call him whatever name she wanted, and in addition, requested placing herself in the party. After that, Satou-kun stopped her, but she threatened to make him marry her. I have to say that this is an unforgivable act."(TN:Guessing it's Rei from her way of referring to Fuhito.)

"Umu. Thank you. Now, Noelle Kanon. Do you have any excuse for the accusations just now."

 The masked woman with long black hair reads out what was written on the print in her hand, and the twin-tailed masked girl nods in satisfaction and looks at Noelle with cold eyes.

"There is none, desu ... I am truly sorry."

 Noelle apologizes in a manner that she fully acknowledges it and droops her head dejectedly.

 By having the charges listed again objectively, she realizes the magnitude of what she had done and is filled with apologetic feelings.

"It's good to be honest. However, this case is a very big crime. You are not allowed to join the party as it is now."

"No way ..."

 A heartless judgment is handed down by the twin-tailed masked girl, and Noelle shows a despairing expression.

 For the masked girls, this incident was unforgivable.

 She caused trouble for Fuhito with her selfish beliefs, and as a result, she caused trouble for other people, and the sin of increasing the number of people who have a bad feelings towards her by having Fuhito clean up after her is a heavy crime.

 However, Nanami and the others are not demons either.

 Just by looking at her, they can tell that Noelle is completely depressed and reflecting. The expression on her face is so haggard that it is impossible to lie, and they can see that she is very regretful.

"However, this time it's only the first offense. I'll give you an opportunity to repent. First is the matter of punishment. I'm going to ban you from having any personal contact with Onii-chan for a week, starting tomorrow. Second, keep the following things in mind. First of all, don't be selfish and cause Onii-chan trouble. This is an absolute requirement. Secondly, don't stick to Onii-chan more than necessary. Thirdly, Onii-chan is not an imaginary being, but a real human being. Noelle Kanon seems to have a special feeling for the existence of a Yuusha, but I do not allow my Onii-chan to be identified as such. In other words, you must properly face the actual person called Onii-chan. Fourth, do not divulge secrets. This is the kind of thing that even I can understand. If we observe the above and judge that you have reflected, we will first approve the joining as a temporary member."

 Therefore, Nanami and the others look at each other and decide to give her a one-time kindness.

"Is that okay, desu!?"

 Noelle didn't think that she would be given a chance to be forgiven, and she raises her face covered in surprise.

"This is the only time. There won't be a second time. The next time you cause a problem, even if I turn against Noelle Kanon's home country, I will bury Noelle Kanon with my subordinate. Even if it's something that Onii-chan doesn't want."

[ If you pit yourself against the Lord of my Lord, I will destroy you with my fire!! ]

 When the flames of wrath light up in the eyes of the twin-tailed masked girl, the parakeet with a rare color on her shoulder jumps up and transforms into flames, intimidating Noelle.

"Hii!"

 Noelle only just realizes that the person in front of her is emitting an enormous amount of magical power that she stands no chance against. Noelle lets out a short scream and falls back at the amount of magical power that the girl, who is probably younger than her, unleashes.

 But, the magical power isn't just in front of her.

"Hii!"

 A sharp magical power is emitted from all directions.

 Not only in front of Noelle, she is inferior to everyone in this room, on the contrary, each and every one of them is comparable to the SSS rank, no, more than that, she comprehends that each and every one of them has the strength to fight against a country.

 And, her original purpose, who among the humans in this world released the mysterious magical power emitted in Japan, her thoughts suddenly come together and she is startled and afraid.

"By the way, we have the power to monitor Noelle Kanon anywhere in the world. Please do not make a mistake in your approach."

"U, understood, desu."

 When the twin-tailed masked girl speaks as if to give a warning at the end, Noelle shakes her head while being frightened.

"With this, the emergency girls-only gathering is closed."

""Yes!""

 The twin-tailed masked girl declares the gathering closed, and the emergency girls-only gathering comes to an end.
