I moved to Jennifer′s place by [Teleportation].
Jennifer is at a hotel near the airport and is talking to someone.
「I'm back」
「Ah! Seiji!」
Jennifer suddenly hugged me.
「Hey, Jennifer, please stop」
「What are you saying! I was worried!」
Hmm, I made Jennifer to worry about me.
「I am well」
Lily-san asked for a handshake.
After looking at Lily-san's way of fighting, I get strangely nervous and becomes stiff. Besides, it is not my son which hardened separately.
「By the way, Seiji-san、...... didn't you push me down?」
「Haa?」
Oh crap, it was when I helped her. Did she notices?
「W, W, What are you talking about, silly thing? Th, Th, That...... nanana, there's no way」
「Right? It smelled like you...... 」
Are you a dog!
「By the way, do you know a 『Ninja』?"」
「EH!? Ni, Ninja?」
Bad, she said it. I have to make a lie.
「Yeah, I know」
「Really!?」
「Yes, of course. It's one that comes out of manga and anime, right?」
「Instead, it is about a real ninja」
「Haa...... real ninja... is it...... 」
What shall I do, how to deceive them?
「Suzuki, Major League Baseball Player, seems to be a ninja」
「Eh! Seriously!!!」
Jennifer came down from the side.
「Jennifer-san, I will have an important talk with Seiji-san now.... 」
「What are you saying! The important secret of Suzuki is now revealed! Do you have any more important stories?」
She seems to be a pretty fan. To deflect a story, make up a story.
「It seems that Suzuki's way of swinging bats is applying ninja swordsmanship」
「I see!!」
「The returning ball is like a laser beam using techniques to throw Shuriken... 」
「That's right!!! That's why it's so amazing!!!!」
I do not know what to do, it seems to be a great deal.......
Then, Jennifer was not allowed to get away from me and we decided to talk about the ninja all the time.
Well, thanks to that, I was able to escape from Lily's pursuit, so let's do that.
I was tired that day, so I got another room and had a good rest.
----------
A hotel worker came in the afternoon of the next day. It seems we have visitors.
We invited the visitors in Jennifer's room.
「Excuse me」
It was Nima-chan who came over.
「Nima, was the village okay?」
「The village was saved thanks to a mysterious person who asserts to be a 『Ninja』」
「Eh! Ninja!?」
Lily-san is staring at me....... Did she fall in love with me?...... For now let's keep my eyes away.
「In spite of having come to all of you with great pains, you have been involved in trouble. For your convenience, I would like to invite you to a dinner party, how do you like that?」
「Thank you for inviting me, I'm gonna go」
I was separated by Jennifer. Oh well.
That day, I was busy all day. I was asked by diplomats, reporters, etc. , digging roots and answered appropriately.
In particular, I was asked a lot about 『Ninja』, but I managed to make tea with the story of Suzuki.
------------
Finally I was freed from asking questions and it was time for the dinner that Nima had prepared.
When I go to the suite as guided by a hotel worker...... ,
「Welcome」
Nima-chan greeted me in Japanese.
「Thank you for inviting me...... , what? Nima-chan, can you speak Japanese?!?」
「I can speak Japanese a little」
Nima-chan, in that way, smiled nicely with her hands together.
「Ah! Because I was surprised, I inadvertently called you "chan". I'm sorry. Nima」
「No, "chan" is okay」
And a smile. Damn, so cute...... I would like to swap her with Aya as my sister.
「Ah, Seiji, here～」
Jennifer sitting on a table at the back calls out to me. I wanted to talk to Nima-chan for a while.
We moved to the table of Jennifer and Lily.
「This time, I am very sorry to get you involved in trouble. I prepared a delicious meal of Bhutan tonight, so please enjoy it」
It's hot! And delicious! I love to eat such a heartily dish.
「After this, I also serve alcohol, but before that, can we talk about business?」
Nima-chan suddenly said such a thing.
「Business?」
「Actually, the land around the cave where you can get [Nullpo stones] is mine, and for the company established to do business with Jewelry Nancy, I am the president as well」
「You!?」
Nima-chan is a president, though she is so young, amazing.
「In fact, [Nullpo Stones] that were supposed to be passed were robbed by the bandits. I will dig up a substitute [Nullpo stone] in a hurry, so can you wait a little?」
「I'm in trouble. I was scheduled to announce the new jewelry in fall, but without [Nullpo stones] now, I'll have to change the schedule...... 」
「Is that so...... 」
A dark atmosphere clouds between Nima-chan and Jennifer.
This is my turn!
「Do you mean this?」
I pretended to take it out of my bag and pulled out [Nullpo stones] from the bandits to the table.
「Seiji! What's this?」
I have to cheat properly.
「It was laying on the way of escape」
「Is that true!?」
Was it a little too much for cheating?
「For the time being, I'll give this stone back to Nima-chan」
「Is that ok!?」
「Of course」
「Thank you very much. Someday I will return this kindness」
Nima-chan has been bowing towards me. Nima-chan's smile...... priceless!
「Then, please pay this [Nullpo Stone]」
[Nullpo stones] move from Nima-chan to Jennifer.
「Thanks to Seiji it was saved. After all, it was correct to bring him!」
And, Nima-chan and Jennifer shook hands while smiling with a grin.
