"Wait~! Kamiya-san! There's no way i let you killing things!" [Riku]

"don't worry, don't worry i'm not killing a single thing today" [Nashi]

"..... i don't believe you at all" [Riku]

"jeez.., what do you know about me? We barely know, i might looks like a big jerk , but i'm a man that keeps my own word you know" [Nashi]

"...... (yeah, i just noticed, that i only know him yesterday, but i somehow don't want him to go around killing things) but still..!!" [Riku]

"relax,relax~ , here, a pinky promise." [Nashi]

will she buy this? She seems the type that likes this kind of things.

"...Really? All right here" [Riku] she says this while giving her pinky finger to me,

"yes,yes pinky~pinky~ promise~.. The one that broke it will swallow a thousand needles." [Nashi]

........ crap.. i act like i make promise with Yuzu.. hope she will not freak out!

"just keep your words, kay?" [Riku] (That surprises me for he to acts like that, well he seems to be a man that really keeps his word so i don't think he'll break it that easily!)

... hee she seems satisfied, well one problems over

"ah your phone has a map right? Can i borrow it?" [Nashi]

"sure!" [Riku] ... oi at least act a little more suspicious, you just met me yesterday

"hm.. let's see. How do i search with coordinate?" [Nashi]

"eh? You don't know how to use it? Just give it back to me, i'll input the coordinate for you" [Riku] she says this and taking her phone back

"X:MMM , Y:NNN" [Nashi]

"all right MMM and NNN.... wait a minute! This is a quest coordinate right!?" [Riku]

"relax, i already made a promise with you~, i just want to go and investigating,these kobolds might be dangerous right?" [Nashi]

"........ haaaah, alright then, it's located in here, do you know this place?" [Riku]

she shows her phone to me, hm.. i think i know this place, heck i've been there time before, i never saw anything weird back then.

"yeah, i think i know it.. well it's already late , let me walk you home first" [Nashi]

"Wait!? You're not bringing me!?" [Riku]

"..... why would i bring you, well it's fine if you're coming, even though when there's a first of danger i'll run away first, since i already made that promise~ if you're getting caught or anything like that i'm not helping at all" [Nashi]

"how mean.." [Riku]

"seriously, just look at me , i'm not in condition to killing things or protecting someone right now, moreover aren't you hurt your leg? Shouldn't you take some rest? And i don't think it's a good idea for an idol like you to be seen with a man, aren't idols these day has a contract that they can't have a boyfriend or something like that? Do you want to make a scandal?" [Nashi]

"GUH!! we.. well i guess that's true since you're injured your right arm, ah! Right! Give me your contact info! i still haven't added yours and Yuki" [Riku]

"ah,sure.... by the way you might want to call her Sada, she's hate being called by that by someone she barely knows, and i'm not going to give Yuki contact, just ask her by yourself tomorrow" [Nashi]

"........okay, i'll try to remember that" [Riku]

"anyhow.. you're not going home or what? Oh, you don't want to be seen escorted by man right?" [Nashi]

"eh? No, that'll be fine, my house near here, so i don't think we are going to meet some paparazzi" [Riku]

after the conclusion, i give her my contact adress , and i walk her home.. it's really a silent walk, after 10 minutes walking from that park

"right.. i see you on TV today" [Nashi]

"really? What channel?" [Riku]

"don't know, i just see your face on TV screen" [Riku]

"hee~, ah! we're here bye then!"

"so you're living in this apartment huh, i heard this is quite a fancy one" [Nashi]

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"is that so? i have no idea" [Riku]... i see, she doesn't understand things like that yet , so her parent or manager must be the one that organize this huh

"oh! Good night!" [Riku] she's saying this while waving her hand, seems like she's really believed in our promise eh, well it's not like i'm gonna break it either

"hm, night" [Nashi]

....... i watched her enter the building, .. after making sure she doesn't notice me i take my phone and calling someone

"hello~ is rare for Nachi to call me~?"

"ah, Julia what do you know about Kobold?" [Nashi]

yeah, the one that i called is Julia, since she's good at this kind of thing , something like cryptozoid or U.F.O

"Kobold? i don't know much, but they should be a some kind of dog ,rat or lizard creature in the video game" [Julia]

".... i see, what about Kobold in real world?" [Nashi]

"In real world? Let me check it for a second, i've read it somewhere on the books before.... don't hang up just yet!" [Julia]

while waiting for her , i walk to the location of the quest , it's pretty near with our location , seems like what Akamine says about the "quest" only gives the task in area near it's called , after five or six minutes walk Julia start talking to me again.. if i know she'll take this long, i just ask her to call me back when she find it

"Hello~ Nachi? You still there?" [Julia]

"yeah, i'm still here, why wouldn't i? This is my phone.."[Nashi]

"here listen then, uhum.. Kobold are one of a sprite that survive the modern era. The Kobold usually located at underground places like Mine or cave or at someone houses. Kobold put they pride on their smithing skills. If there's Kobold ,There should be some sort effigy that mark their whereabout....." [Julia]

" i see.. why pausing?" [Nashi]

"eh~ nothing~ just wondering why are you asking me something like this, you don't find a kobold right?" [Julia]

"why would i , normal high schooler will find Kobold? Moreover if i found one , i'm 100% sure my tone wouldn't be like this" [Nashi]

"right~ thats true, ah so you're checking whether or not kobold exist right? At least you have an idea of their whereabout?" [Julia]

"... (this girl has some sort of sixth sense or what.) yeah something like that, i'm just checking though, ah i call you later. after i find it" [Nashi]

"all right~ i'm waiting then~" [Julia]

"bye" [Nashi] i turn off my phone and start continue walking to the coordinate,after 20-minutes walk from the park where i met Akamine, i try to remember the location from her GPS with my "Map".. there are nothing in here and yup my position is precise... right now i'm standing on a T way,around 100m in front of me there's a Canal, while the other ways just lead to main road and bridge

........ right underground, there's might be some sort of way in that canal, i search a way down to the canal and found a stair.. it's hard to climb down the stair with 1 arm , so i just decide to drop down, as soon as i go down, i search for a tunnel or anything like that

ah... found it, the sewer exit, all right , i brace myself and crouch in there... damn it's dark, well doesn't matter though since i can know the direction by "Mini-map" but i still don't want to step on something unnecessary, anyhow after this i crawl my way through this sewer for about couple minutes ah, i should go right here, yup after crawling for 2 minutes "mini-map" shows me that there's an open space. i see this that must be the main irrigation huh i continue to crawl ... there's some light over there... Let's continue slowly.

Half way reaching the mouth of open space, a "mini-map" catch some white dots. white is human right? i have bad feeling about this.. anyhow i've already gone down into the sewer, so might as well checking things out. i use "map" to check the how many dot's should be there.. since my map can't show the colour of dot, before i use "map", my "mini-map" shows 9 white dots, so most likely the rest will be white dots too ... 4... 9... 12... 19... 37. there's 37 dots catched in "Map", the open space pretty big huh, right i just need to slain 25 of these kobold right? Why white dots though?

i hide to check things out, thank god they light a fire, so i can see their figure from my place.............fuck

Yeah, they are hunched... and they live underground so the description of kobold that Julia says to me is true but......

no matter i looked at it these guys is human, heck i can even hear them speak and joking around in a language that i understand

And they are not hunched, but covering them self in a blanked. this.... this is just a basecamp of homeless people right!?

...... i see,so that's how it is i better search for Kobold history when i get back

... does Akamine quest board just tell me to kill these people? Why? Huh, let's just abandon this "Quest" already... now that i think about it, hunched because they curled up in a blanket right now ,lives underground.. because it's cold, proud of their smithing skill.. yeah, I can see they're pretty creative at making things. There's some simple house that they're make over there... oh, I just realize that these area doesn't have that many water... what about the effigy? ... might be a myth or somesort of handicraft maybe..

anyhow i just get out from this sewer, somehow i have this feeling they will not treat me nicely if i got found... following the same path now i'm heading out from this sewer..

......... haha.. i see, there's no way i can make money that easy huh

... so there's nasty ability like this huh.. if i'm not checking things out, i could've just thrown some simple molotov or something like that.

...... for once i'm grateful that i have "mini-map" that can show the whereabouts of people

.. ugh... i need to speak with her tomorrow about this. and lets not forget to check Kobold history. it might be better to call Julia first, i don't want to make her wait all night long

i reached my phone again.. hee~ already low battery, well this should be enough

".... ou Julia" [Nashi]

"OU! so what do you find?" [Julia]

"i just mistook a person for a Kobold, anyhow can you help me searching Kobold history?" [Nashi]

"hee~ that's a bummer, i thought we finally find something interesting~ well i'll try to search it then! [Julia]

...... tomorrow i need to tell the others thay , they shouldn't take "quest" from the back of the board

ah... i see, if the "quest" in the front represents normal, the one in the back must be the other way around huh

haah~ i'm somewhat disappointed while relieved,

still i've been mondering

it's what she say's about her quest before

how can she knows the area has been cleaned or not?.. she's saying things like half-way through before

or there's a chance she might already cleaned it but someone dirtied again, from what she says at least 3 days has been past away while she's doing the quest right? there's no way an open space like that keep cleaned for 3 days

maybe the quest doesn't show progress in live? now that i think about it, she did mention something about giving a banana to grandma, if someone else already doing it that means the quest will be gone right? so if i give the banana to her to late, it will not be counted? ...... crap, there's so much question about her ability

.. at least i kept my promise with her
