I brought Nancy to my house.
It seems like the mafias haven’t learned about my house and are unaware of it..
It’s a blessing that the director didn’t spit out the location of my house, huh......
Or, does the director not know where my house is......?
For the time being, I have to hide Nancy.
「Here’s my house.」
「This ce is Seiji’s house, huh.
I heard that Japanese houses were『Usagi-goya[1]』, but......
it’s not to that extent!」
Umu, is it being praised?
「Ah, did you bring Nancy along?」
Aya greeted us.
「Yes, in order to understand Japanese culture, I think it would be good for her to see our everyday life.」
「Despite saying such a thing, onii-chan, if you bring her to the house to do something strange...I’ll beat you to death!」
「Do what!?」
Be that as it may, it saved me the trouble now that Aya was here.
「Aya, I’ll leave Nancy to you for a bit.」
「N? What do you mean?」
「There’s nothing wrong in particr,
because I’ll go out for a bit, Aya, you protect this house in the mean time.」
「U-, Un.」
Our conversation have be somewhat g-like.
Aya looks strange, too.
However, why does the person, who has to be rescued, have to be the director~.
In cases like this, it should always be a cute girl who has to be rescued.
I, leaving Aya and the others, left the house.
***
That guy, who have a tracking beacon attached, is still on the lookout for us in the Tokyo Station.
If this fellow went back to their hideout, I could’ve known what the situation is over there. Well, it can’t be helped.
I transformed into『Japanese ninja man』in the park’s toilet, used【teleportation】towards the mafia''s hideout after going invisible using【Night Shade】and infiltrated it in secret.
When I arrived at the room where the aforementioned mafias got tortured......
there was a person.
Who is it!?
I was surprised for an instant, but I couldn''t be noticed since I went invisible using【Night Shade】.
When I calm down and looked at the person again――
It was a girl.
Moreover, she is tied to a chair in the center of the room and is even gagged.
And, there’s no one other than the girl.
Who’s this!?
When I used【appraisal】just in case, she seems to be an ordinary person.
Is it a person who has been kidnapped in a separate case?
Well, let’s set her freeter.
I left the girl and look for the room’s exit.
Somehow or other, this room seems to be a basement, there are stairs to go up and a massive, iron door on top of the flight of stairs.
The iron door seems to be locked from the outside, and it seems that it can’t be opened easily.
Well, anyhow, it looks like a mafia’s hideout, so it’s fine to wreck the door open, right?
I used【Metal Control】of【Earth Magic】, deformed the door’s lock part and seeded in opening it.
Now then, where’s the director?
The other side of the door seemed to be the first floor and there were about 30 mafiabatants(?) on the lookout.
And then, from the window, a garden can be seen.
There’s no two chickens and the likes in the garden[2].
A sturdy-looking wall surrounds every direction. Is this a fortress!?
And, about 10batants are on the lookout in the garden.
I tried to search in order to not be noticed by all of thebatants, but the director wasn’t on the first floor.
However, I found the stairs to the second floor. I wonder if he’s above or beyond this?
When I went up to the second floor......
there was the boss.
And, the director, too!
The boss seems to be considerably irritated and vents his anger on his subordinates.
The director’s hands are tied up behind his back, he is blindfolded and his face is swollen up where he was hit.
Now then, let’s rampage!
I, who was still invisible, gave a dropkick towards thebatant who was guarding the director.
*Bagon!*
Thebatant somersaults and rolls over the floor.
「「!?」」
When the boss, and the surroundingbatants were preupied with that person, I put a hand on the director’s shoulder and moved to the basement using【teleportation】.
「Uwa!? What the!?」
Since the director is blindfolded, he didn’t understand what happened at all.
The girl seemed to have noticed us, too, because of the director making a noise.
「Uuuu.」
The girl, who is still gagged, is groaning *Uu, Uu*.
Sorry, I wille back to rescue youter.
I left the director and the girl and went up to the first floor.
----------
「What the heck!?」
「Where’s the enemy!?」
In the first floor, thebatants were getting ready for battle.
「Japanese ninja man?have arrived!!」
I took the【Night Shade】off, showed my appearance and introduced myself.
「Haa? What the hell are you?」
D-, Damn. Thebatants got creeped out.
Even though I chose a cool line and pose with great effort......
「I-, I’ve arrived......」
「Are you on medication?」
The bald, fatbatant is worrying about me and approaches.
Shit, making a fool of me is a heavy sin!
I hit the bald, fatbatant on the stomach, sending him flying.
「*Guge!*」
The bald, fatbatant vanished, he went rolling on the floor, broke through the windowpane, and tumbled down in the garden.
「Everyone,e! Come! It’s a suspicious person!!」
Is this a historical drama!?
Well, anyhow, this person wanted to surround me!!
You should’ve done so properly from the beginning!
I waspletely surrounded by thebatants.
「We don’t know who you are, but don’t think you cane back alive!」
Ooh, scary, scary.
That is to say, you have the resolution to be killed, too?
Well, I’m not going to kill you since I’m kind.
One of thebatants surrounding me made a kamikaze attack with a knife.
They probably intended to gauge my strength using the lowest underling.
*Gashi!*
When I held the knife which had been struck out between my fingers, the guy wasn’t able to move the knife anymore.
I kicked the guy away.
「*Gugo!*」
The guy, who has been kicked, vanishes and crashes into the wall, but he still tries to stand up.
Did I went a little too easy on you? It''s difficult to adjust, huh.
「You left this thing behind.」
When I threw the knife, it grazed over the guy’s ear then pierced into the wall.
「Hii-!!」
The guy looked ghastly pale and sank down to the floor.
And then......
*Pan!*
With a dry sound, red blood filled the floor.
