chapter 104




“Oh my, I lost . An-chan is totally unbelievable!” (TN: She’s referring to him as older brother and it’s an overly familiar version . )
Shuri Castle .
While eating onigiri that she got from a convenience store she was tapping my shoulder .
“Rather, you
”
“What is it?”
“You’re awfully friendly? Rather than socializing, we’re going to fight each other, right?”
“What are you on about . Don’t you know the phrase yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend? It’s even written in the Nihon-shoki, you know?”
She has a bottomless smile on her face .
And then, she had a broken front tooth from my earlier uppercut .
Somehow, there’s a peerless idiot child aura floating on her .
Since it became like this, I have no other choice but to go along with it, too .
“Rather, you said you were level 99?”
“Aah” and nodded, the little ninja took out something from her bosom and handed it to me .
“Hm
 is this a scroll?”
“Ah, that’s right . Achiki’s ability is written down here . ”
It seems like a status plate for ninjas .
I unwrapped the scroll to see and looked over numbers .
“Oi, you? The level written here
 No, you guys are in dan? Well, anyhow 33 dan is written, but?”
Then she smiled in surprise and laughed scornfully at my words .
“Oi, An-chan? Don’t you know the words Ninja three-times dan?”
“Now that you say it, there’s Kendo 3-times dan
”
Ehm

Basically
 I’m translating the words of this loli ninja in my mind .
That’s right, basically—-
“You’re Level 33!”
I was afraid for nothing .
No, even so she’s plenty strong on the basis of this world .
I was around level 40 when Yan-aniki died against the Fire Dragon

Well, she’s fairly strong in the other world, too .
“You, I’ve been thinking this since earlier, but
”
“Hm? What is it An-chan?”
“Something, I feel very biased about ninjas when talking with you . There are a lot of influences from novels and american comics . ”
“Well, I was raised by Jii-chan . When Achiki was a baby everyone in the village was killed
”
Massacred?
I hear another unpleasant word but I’ll leave it alone .
“It’s natural that you’ll have biased knowledge of ninjas like Achiki . Because, I was taught by no one other than Jii-chan!”
“Fuumu . ”
“Furthermore, Jii-chan was a bit weird . ”
“Weird?”
“He would eat many meals in one day, and then he would forget the menu of what he ate before
 And would call out the name of Achiki’s dead grandmother . ”
Oi oi, could it be
 My mouth was opened wide .
“Well, Jii-chan even now has perfect fighting skills . But, I’ve noticed recently that Jii-chan is weird in some things . I was late to notice that since it took me until fully matured to understand it
”
“In your Grandfather’s room there weren’t any american comics or ninja novels?”
“Aah, my Grandfather was a ninja maniac . There were a lot of american comics and ninja novels!”
I’ve concluded .
This is concluded
 I sighed .
This girl, thanks to being raised in a segregated place by an idiot oldman
 Her knowledge has been jumbled all up .
I thought that I should ask her a lot about ninjas and magical girls but it won’t go well .
“So, what’s a Magical Girl? Asking you is pointless, though . ”
“Aah, I’m sorry about that! An-chan is too strong so he has no relationship with Magical Girls! The Abeno’s girl and Vatican’s girl were loitering around and the one who’s the sure witch is
 Morishita Maria
”
“Oi, what do you mean? What did you just say?”
“Abeno’s girl
”
“No, not that the other!”
“Aah? Is it about Morishita Maria?”
“I want to hear about it in full detail”
I made a telephone call to Abeno-senpai on the way to the airport .
“Senpai?”
“So, what happened with the ninja?”
“It ended with one punch . ”
“One punch?”
“Yeah, she’s to the level where she won’t enter in the best 4 in the swordsmanship tournament in the other world . Basically, she’s not my opponent . ”
“The feeling of you being the strongest has become a bit faint from lack of MP, though
 You’re a monster . ”
“But, why were you quiet?”
“Quiet about what?”
“About Maria . I know everything . ”
「

」
“Why were you quiet!?”
“Because the opponent was a ninja . There was a possibility that even you were not able to against her . That’s why, I didn’t try to give needless information to the best of my power . ”
“Needless information
 This is my sister, you know?”
“I know very well since I’ve become able to use skills, too . The truth is this power has fair influence on the mental condition . I didn’t want you to think about uncalled for things . ”
“It might be so
 But, she’s my sister . ”
“I’m sorry, Morishita-kun . ”
“Senpai?”
“It’s my mistake . I misjudged your strength . ”
I can’t criticize her anymore since she has apologized obediently .
“Anyhow, I’m returning from Okinawa and heading there . ”
And then, when I reached Naha Airport I was at loss of words .
“Oi, oi
”
I looked at the characters on the electric board and I fell on my knees and continued talking .
“All flights cancelled due to a typhoon?”
Side: Lela Sakaguchi
Night of New Moon .
We hid behind a tree while armed fully and approaching the closed building .
“Your battle sense is amazing
 And yet, did you misread?”
“I have confidence if it’s at the level of tactics, but I’m bad at strategy . ”
“What?”
“Do you know what Mosquitos react to?”
“Carbon Dioxide . ”
“That’s right . And then, when I was a child I knew that by experimenting with dry ice . ”
“In kindergarten knowing the relationship between carbon dioxide and dry ice is pretty shocking . So, the experiment is?”
“Dry Ice, Human Sweat with Temperature of Human Skin
 I put this into a small dish and went into the forest . The mosquitos
 As I expected, they gathered for the small dish . ”
“I see . So what happened?”
“Mosquitos— Gathered to me!”
“Right!”
“Basically, Lela Sakaguchi . Do you know what I’m trying to say?”
“What you’re trying to say?”
“At first look I’m clever, but
 I’m a fairly loose mischievous lady . ”
“Mischievous!?”
“No, mischievous lady . ”
“You might’ve been a little girl at the start of the experiment, however!”
“Well, it’s my misjudgement . I apologize . ”
“No, but it couldn’t be helped since a ninja came . I was taught that their existence had the same meaning as God, the same goes for you too, right?”
“Anyhow—- Tonight there’s nobody but us to do it . ”
Yeah, I nodded and glared at the closed building’s ground .
The spiritual force is strangely rising and my hair is being ruffled from static electricity in the surroundings .
Several places had purple lightning flashing, this is not your usual stuff .
“Space-time distortion
 No—”
Singularity
Abeno Kaguya nodded to my words .
“It seems the time for joking is over . ”
