Nanana’s Buried Treasure: Extra Edition

TN Note: These Extra Edition stories are from mini books that came with the blu-ray discs with the Japanese releases and are unique stories. They kind of take place between the first and second books I think.

Part A:

A notebook that seems to have been left behind by a man named Juugo Yama.

Believing that this proof that I lived will be read by someone, I will be leaving a full account here.

O Month X Day:

I was disowned by my father, exiled to an isolated island in the south, and now I came to live alone. A southern island that seemed like a paradise, but it was ruled by a fearsome native queen. This queen devours yellow and soft stuff for every meal, and spends all day in front of a square box making “Gehe gehe” laughing sounds. Will I be able to survive on an island ruled by this fearsome queen?

O Month X Day:

Caught off guard by the queen, I ended up having my left shoulder dislocated. Because of this it was decided that I would live as a servant to the queen. Day or night, she will give me the order to go get her the yellow and soft stuff. I have no right to refuse. The queen will not abide resistance. Even today while rubbing my left shoulder (which had just healed) I diligently prepared the yellow and soft stuff, while keeping a close eye on the queen’s mood.

O Month ❤ Day:

The queen has warmed up to me. Isn’t that great? Good, from now on I’ll have a lovey-dovey cohabitation life on this island. And we live happily ever after.「…So Juugo. What exactly is this?」

「…So Juugo. What exactly is this?」

「Well… how should I put this…?」

「W.H.A.T.? 」

「D..don’t be so angry Nanana-chan」

The setting is Room 202 of Happiness Dorm where I live. Standing in the middle of the room with an angry expression is an earthbound spirit girl, who was killed in this room about 10 years ago, Nanana Ryugajo-chan.

And the one who is forced to sit in seiza posture in front of Nanana-chan is me, Juugo Yama. Now, as for why I’m forced to sit in a seiza posture; the notebook that Nanana-chan holds in her right hand is the reason.

「No, I heard that a kid I met at school is aiming to become a novelist. That sounded nice so I thought I’d try writing one too, but I had writer’s block. Then suddenly, you caught my eye playing online games. 」

I was so absorbed in writing that I didn’t notice Nanana-chan approach. She was using her spirit powers to disappear and move behind me.

「Why are you writing in a journal format? 」

「Hey, it’s not THAT unusual. For example a person who makes a record of the people who survive a passenger plane that crash lands on a southern island. A hero like that naturally face a crisis. 」

「Hmmm. So am I a crisis? The fearsome Native Queen? 」

「This is a dramatization to liven up the story…」

「So I always eat pudding… Are you confusing real life with a comedy show on TV? 」

「Well it’s not wrong is it? 」

「No Way! I’m not eating pudding and watching TV all day! I also play computer and video games! I have a bigger repertoire! 」

「Yeah… You’re getting mad at the wrong thing, aren’t you? 」

「It’s important! This point is important! This is a very important part of my identity! 」

「I..Is that so..? 」

Apparently being an earthbound spirit confined to a room gives birth to strange obsessions.

「What’s up with this last part? And we live happily ever after? It’s way too sudden. 」

「No, it’s ok to get inspired and write it down. But I ran out of ideas already. 」

「So are you only a slacker in the journal? 」

「Being so subtle is a skill, Nanana-chan…」

Even so, I thought it would be rather easy to write a novel like this but it’s actually quite difficult.

The face of class president Yurika Yumeji, who is aiming to become a novelist, comes to my mind. Yumeji-san, how do you keep coming up with good ideas? Shall I ask you again…?

「…Wait! I just realized, maybe I can put this to good use. I wonder if I can use this to get closer to the black-haired glasses wearing class president! 」

We are alone in a classroom after school. As we discuss our novels we wrote, we become closer and closer. Then before long… hehehe.

Eureka! I’m hit with overwhelming inspiration.

Sometimes I’m so smart it’s scary.

「Hey Juugo. For now do you want a smack? 」, and the Earthbound Spirit, who is trembling with anger, was clenching her fists.

It seems like I was saying things that I meant to be thinking. I have a bad habit of occasionally blurting out things that should stay in my head.

That being said… The earth bound spirit punched me in the left arm, which had just healed from being injured by the same spirit earlier.

I take the blow like a b-class boxer, get knocked to the floor, and roll around suffering in pain.

「Jeez, I thought we could work on this together」

「Together…?」

「But if you’re trying to write a novel with those kinds of impure feelings then I’m not helping out. 」

「No wait, Nanana-chan! My goals was to write a great novel. Getting closer to Yumeji-san was an afterthought. That’s not the main thing I’m doing though! I will treat it as an unexpected by-product」

「That’s pretty sketchy」

Nanana-chan turned to me with an incredibly doubtful look on her face.

Well to be honest, when I realized it’ll help me to get closer to Yumeji-san that became my main objective.

「But isn’t that interesting? Sharing ideas to try to write a novel together. 」

「…Well, it certainly does sound interesting. 」

「Let’s do it then, Nanana-chan.」

When I suggested this with a smile, Nanana-chan (who had a grumpy expression on her face) said, 「Well, it can’t be helped」, and sat next to me. Nanana-chan is surprisingly enthusiastic. Maybe she was already interested in trying to write a novel.

There is a good reason I made this suggestion to Nanana-chan. When I first started living in room 202 I was at a loss for how to deal with the earth bound spirit Nanana-chan. However after reading the Nanana manual that was in the hidden cupboard in the bathroom, I was able to change my attitude. And as I had more interactions with her I naturally wanted to get along with her more and more. That’s why I thought this was a perfect opportunity for the two of us working together.

I got my notebook back from Nanana-chan and spread it on the table. Nanana-chan has a somewhat happy expression on her face as she peers into the notebook from the side. Her shoulder gently touches mine.

I’m looking into a notebook on a not-so-wide table with a girl. Isn’t this nice?! I get a little excited about this unexpected situation.

「So, Juugo. What kind of novel do you want to write? Why don’t you write an epic feature-length fantasy story? It can be a world of swords and magic. 」

Nanana-chan’s eyes are sparkling with interest. I think this choice is definitely influenced by her online games.

「Hmmm. Isn’t a feature length epic setting the bar kind of high? For now why don’t you write it in a journal style like the one I wrote? If you do we can break it down into short stories」

「Eh.. 」, Nanana-chan says, sounding a little annoyed.

「Besides, this time it’s a way for the two of us to come up with ideas. We can write at a good pace this way」

「Is that so? Yeah, then let’s do it」

Nanana-chan smiled. Somehow she seemed to agree.

「Well if it’s going to be a journal style novel, then why not make you and I the characters? 」

「Eh, you want us to write about ourselves? 」

「It’s not exactly like that, but I’ll try to write a dramatization a little like what you wrote earlier. When you don’t have to think about the setting or other things like that, writing becomes smoother. 」

Should we write about ourselves in a journal style novel? It sounds interesting, however…

「…But isn’t it embarrassing to write a novel about ourselves? 」

I’m pretty embarrassed at least.

「It’s fine. This’ll just be a little practice. We don’t have to try too hard. 」

Nanana-chan is the complete opposite of me.

「I..is that right? Then for the time being…」

O Month X Day:

I, a handsome man with a refreshing smile, arrived on this island…

「Yoooou’re out! 」

Nanana-chan gave me a forehead flick while holding her hand up like an ump making an out call. The forehead flick she gave me was with such force that it bent my neck sideways and really hurt.

「What are you doing Nanana-chan!? 」

「Nononono. You can’t write a lie like that can you? 」

「It’s ok, this is fiction. This is a novel! 」

「Oh, maybe you weren’t serious about writing that? 」

「I wrote it seriously! I don’t get more stupid every day! 」

The comedy show loving earthbound spirit says, 「No, I’m sorry. I can’t help myself」

「Then let’s talk seriously about the handsome young man with a refreshing look in his eye」

Though I urgently wanted to continue writing, I came to my senses here.

「…I think I’ll stop after all. After calming down, I realized this is ridiculously embarrassing. 」

I tried to erase the embarrassing lines I just wrote, but Nanana-chan picked up the eraser.

「Nooo. Juugo is a refreshing young man from Japan」

「Ugh, this is embarrassing now. So don’t say that! 」

「You don’t have to be shy anymore, your eyes are refreshing ♪ Why make him sexy and attracting all the boys ♪」

「Stop it. It’s embarrassing to be told all this to my face」

「It’s fine, it’s fiction anyways. 」

「And then casually pointing out that I don’t really match that description. The mental damage to me is doubled! 」

Nanana-chan was giggling as she watched me struggle from having my heart gouged out.

Damn you earthbound spirit!

O Month X Day:

I, a handsome man with a refreshing smile, arrived at this island. An incredibly cute earthbound spirit girl…

「Wait a minute! 」

「Hmmm. What’s wrong Nanana-chan? Why is your face so red? 」

「Don’t write stuff about me like ‘cute’. You don’t need to give me a special description. I’m ok with what you wrote earlier, a terrifying earthbound spirt is fine! So don’t write that. 」

Nanana-chan seemed really embarrassed as she picked up the eraser. She tried to grab the notebook but I was guarding it.

「It doesn’t matter, it’s fiction」

「Y..yeah that’s right. It’s the character that’s cute not me」

No, I think you’re super cute. If I continue to tease her though she’ll get really embarrassed and disappear. I’ll stop my revenge on Nanana-chan here.

Apparently Nanana-chan can’t take these kinds of compliments.

Well anyways, let’s start over from the beginning.
