Nanana’s Buried Treasure Volume 2 Chapter 1.2

---

“Translator: Goma/Editor: TheNix”

This guy is gazing at the tip of the chopsticks that had just touched a girl’s mouth.

I immediately understood, you know. I knew that this guy would do it.

This is because if I was in his place, I would think of doing the same thing.

Yet, it is two completely different things to just think about it and restraining oneself, and doing it. You do understand whether or not it is morally correct, right? As a person with common sense.

One must not do these kinds of things.

While I was thinking this, D’arc started moving the tip of his chopsticks near his mouth.

I was appalled. Is this guy going to do it!

Undoubtedly, everything would have been lost if I had raised my voice at that moment. Yet, I fell silent instead.

The reason was simple.

I could not help but be amazed at him.

I shall repeat this one more time, but D’arc looks like a beautiful young girl. This beautiful young girl is trying to lick the tip of the chopsticks that another girl had just put into her mouth.

Isn’t this, a little, erotic?

The beautiful young girl looked downward, while slightly reddened her tan cheeks. Meanwhile, the tip of the chopsticks in her hand slowly moved closer to her small mouth that was slightly opened. Nevertheless, the pair of chopsticks were moving very slowly. I could tell that she was facing a dilemma. Her conscience told her that she must not do it. On the other hand, she could not simply cast aside her filthy desire to want to taste the saliva of the master she loves. While troubled by the two emotions, the chopsticks moved slowly but surely towards her adorable mouth. Naturally, her heartbeat rose at this immoral erotic act, while her cheeks reddened. Her breath started becoming wild. Her eyes looked somewhat dazed, while she put out her small tongue slightly as if she could not wait to taste the chopsticks.

 Hey, why am I stariiiing!!

How dangerous. I almost fell into the forbidden realm. Even though I have not yet done human transmutation, I stood in front of the Gate of Truth [1. TL Note: Reference to the anime “Full Metal Alchemist, where if one conducts alchemy on the human body, one defies the fundamental laws of alchemy, and approaches the Gate of Truth]. I almost looked at the truth of this world.

「「「Thank you for the delicious meal! 」」」

Upon hearing this voice, I quickly looked back at the table.

There was no more meat on the table.

Oh no, I had forgotten to take more meat because I was awed by this pervert.

Then, I looked at the beautiful fake young girl.

D’arc placed the chopsticks down as if nothing had happened, then put his hands together and said thanks for the meal.

Did you do it, or did you not do it?

Oh no, I had missed the moment.

His cheeks were slightly red, so my assumption is he did it……

While I was troubled by the dilemma, president Yuiga looked around at everybody who had just finished their meal.

「Now then, since everybody had filled their stomachs to their brim, I shall talk about what the Third High School Adventure Club is going to do from now on」

 The goal of the Adventure Club is to obtain the ((Nanana Collection)), which is part of ((Nanana Ryūgajō’s Buried Treasures)) hidden somewhere on this Nanae Island.

((Nanana Ryūgajō’s Buried Treasures)) is, as the name suggests, the inheritance of the earthbound ghost that is just stuck in my room. Currently, the missing inheritance is told to be worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions of yen.

Among the ((Nanana Ryūgajō’s Buried Treasure)), which are all secret treasures that are very unique, is the ((Nanana Collection)). These are the various treasures that Nanana had secretly stol……found and gathered from all around the globe. They are from various ancient remains and buildings.

There is something in common with all these treasures. It is that they all have powers that are beyond human logic. They have various powers, but it is said that 「If one collects all the Nanana Collection, one would be able to grant almost any wish」.

The goal of our Adventure Club is to find these treasures.

By the way, my wish is to find who killed Nanana 10 years ago.

While she was living, Nanana did so many great things before she died at 18. She also was part and the top of the ((GREAT7)), which is the seven genius students who made this Nanae Island 12 years ago.

That is why when Nanana died, apparently the whole island searched for her killer. In the end though, the murderer was not found and the incident was dismissed as unsolved.

There is only one clue to find the murderer. The murderer has a ((Dragon birthmark)) on the back of his or her neck. Sadly, I do not know anyone who has such a birthmark.

「And then, what are we going to do? 」

While sipping the tea that was given after the meal, I asked president Yuiga.

「Actually, I have a hint that could lead us to a location that might have ((Ruins)). I am thinking that we should investigate that place」

The ((ruins)) I refer to are rooms that hide Nanana Collection items, and are hidden in various locations around the Nanae Island. If one hears about the ruins, one might think of ancient remains in movies or dungeons in RPGs. Nevertheless, the ((Ruins)) on Nanae Island is slightly different.  A ((Ruin)) could be a room in a school building, or a hidden room in a modern high-rise building. It is in places that one would not even fathom it would be. There are no hints regarding ((Ruins)), and we do not know where they are at all. Previously, we had somehow managed to obtain a hint from Nanana who seemed to know where the ((Ruins)) are, and found it.

「Then where is the place that you think there might be a ((Ruin))? 」

「It is in the hot springs town on the west side of the island」

「Hot springs? There are hot springs on this island? 」

Isn’t this Nanae island an artificial island that was made 12 years ago?

「Apparently while investigating the seabed right below this island, they coincidentally found a bed of hot groundwater and is pumping that water out now. The hot springs are one of the popular areas on this island. If I remember correctly, I think it is a two-hour drive from here」

「I see, I didn’t know there was such a spot」

「Thus, I am thinking of having a one-night stay this weekend, but what do you guys think? 」

Treasure hunting at a hot spring while on vacation huh. Sounds interesting.

Hot springs… Sounds like something inappropriate might happen……

「Oh. I will state this now since some people are making an evil smile. Since we are students, nothing inappropriate. Alright? 」

President Yuiga emphasized this. Me aside, I was a little curious at how Ms. Ibara clicked her tongue in annoyance.

 The discussion was over, and we all exited the restaurant. I softly approached president Yuiga who was paying the bill.

「President Yuiga, are you sure you are alright treating us to such an expensive meal? 」

「I don’t mind. I am really happy that everybody liked it」

「Actually, are you rich or something? 」

The bill president Yuiga just paid was quite a sum.

「No, my dad is a normal businessman. It’s not that my family is rich」

「What, then is your wallet alright now? 」

「I told you before. I had a sudden income」

Oh yeah, he had said so last time.

「On top of that, I know the owner of this restaurant personally. That is why she gave quite a big discount for this meal」

While talking with him, a young beautiful woman who looked about in her twenties came out from the restaurant and walked towards us.

「Isshin, are you going home already? 」

President Yuiga nodded at the woman with short hair that looked nice with her apron and bandanna.

「Yep, thank you for the meal. It was very delicious」

As president Yuiga smiled, the woman came close to him and whispered into his ear.

「Um, Isshin……about tonight…… 」

「Yes, later」

It seemed that they were quite intimate. They were hugging lightly, while whispering to each other.

Then the woman smiled at me and said, 「please come again」, and went back into the restaurant happily.

「……Um, president Yuiga, who is that person? 」

「Ah, she is the owner of this restaurant」

「What, the owner of this restaurant is such a young woman? 」

「It’s not rare on this island. The majority of the students who graduate from schools on this island work in a company related to this island, or open a business here. Inevitably, most of the people who are taking on the major roles in this island’s economy is in their twenties」
