「What is that? 」

「The blue gemstone」

    Ms. Yukihime’s expressions changed.

「Are you trying to mock us because you snatched it from us?」

「No」

「Besides, there was information that it had been passed to the police already」

「That one is a fake」

「……What? 」

「The real gemstone is in my house」

    Ms. Yukihime looked at me with suspicious eyes, as if to ascertain whether I was lying or not. Then she concluded.

「Alright then. That being said, I am not going to believe you until you show me the real thing. If you want us to cooperate with you, give me the gemstone」

「Deal. I’ll go get it now, so please return me my uniform」

「No」

    She refused.

「……What, why? 」

「Go home looking like that」

「No, impossible! This is the middle of the bustling town center, you know! 」

「When you are prepared, contact us. I have nothing else to say to you」

    Saying this, Ms. Yukihime grabbed my uniform and went out of the room with her partner, Todomatsu. Leaving behind my phone and underwear.

 

    I exposed my naked body to the public as I outran all the security guards and policemen who chased after me. I somehow managed to return home. While changing, I listened to Nanana talking and took out the blue gemstone from underneath the bed.

    Now, I have a question. Why is the ((Eye of Kontholos)) in my room?

    The answer is because earlier that day I had passed a fake gemstone to Tensai.

    Well, I would not leave things I felt guilty about visible on the shelf. I had thought that someone might come to get it soon, but I was surprised when Tensai came quickly the next day to get it. After school I went to the town center and bought a glass stone that resembled the ((Eye of Kontholos)). If I didn’t come up with this plan, I might have had to give up the real thing.

    Here is my excuse though. I did intend to give up the real thing if they found out that it was fake. It was like a joke.

    If someone came and intimidated me saying「Hey isn’t this fake! 」, I had thought to amuse them by saying「It was surprise」. Yet, the famous detective had somehow thought it was real, and just took it home. Well, I understood how she could mistake it for the real one. Tensai had never needed the real thing before, and only vaguely knew that it was a「Blue, big, unique gemstone」. Since she is a famous detective, perhaps she knew that it was made of glass. But maybe she could not confirm that it was fake. This is why the real one stayed in my room the whole time.

    After that I contacted Ms. Yukihime and met up with her one hour later.

    I passed the thing I had brought to her. She seemed overjoyed.

「Alright then, deal」

    It was good timing that I then received an email from Tensai.

    The mail surprised me by saying, 『President Yuiga is going to make a deal with Shunjū Ikkaku』.

    It also contained the time and place to meet up as well. So I had Mr. Todomatsu go there disguised as me.

    Well, I could have just asked her to go somewhere else for some random reason. As expected of the famous detective Tensai Ikkyū, she figured out Mr. Todomatsu’s perfect disguise and is now chasing him in this way.

 

「Everything is according to plan now」

「Yes, thank you for cooperating with me」

「Is the reason why you chose us instead of that famous detective so she isn’t endangered? 」

    Ms. Yukihime looked at me with questioning eyes. I shook my head.

「Of course not」

    I gazed at the back of Tensai chasing Mr. Todomatsu while she left. Then I replied.

「I just didn’t want her to know my true identity」

 

Section 3

 

    President Yuiga and Shunjū Ikkaku were expected to meet up at exactly 2100.

    Actually, I was surprised that Tensai found out these details.

    That aside, President Yuiga and Ms. Ibara had arrived at the car park  30 minutes early. Wow they are punctual people.

    But thanks to that we could attack them 20 minutes before the deal.

「I didn’t think you would come, Yama」

「I will have you return that back to me」

    In the middle of the huge parking lot, Ms. Yukihime and I were facing off with president Yuiga and Ms. Ibara.

    It was Ms. Ibara who started moving first. She moved in front as if to protect president Yuiga.

「Can I leave her to you? 」

    I asked Ms. Yukihime.

「Can you take him alone? 」

「Actually, I can’t harm women under any circumstances. So that only leaves the president to fight with」

    When I said this, she giggled.

「I see. Then please be careful」

    Ms. Yukihime drew Ms. Ibara to her. The way she moved was exactly like a ninja. However, Ms. Ibara was not outclassed. She calmly responded to Ms. Yukihime’s attack and punched at her. As I had expected, it seemed that Ms. Ibara had some sort of martial arts background. The maid punch that I had received last time was quite painful.

    Keeping the women’s fight with various martial arts in my peripheral vision, I walked towards president Yuiga.

「I did not think that I would end up fighting you」

    President Yuiga smiled fearlessly.

「I didn’t expect to either. I didn’t think your goal was to sell the Nanana Collection」

    When I said so, president Yuiga started laughing as if something was funny.

「Hey, Yama. Did you really think that I would actually sell it? Of course, not」

    Then he raised the ((Wizard’s Wand)) in his hand.

「This is just ¥100 million? What a joke. This is worth not just ¥100 million, but ¥10 billion, or even more. With this, I can grant any wish. It is really the most powerful Nanana Collection」

    It seemed that he was not a normal person who had been lured by the money.

「Then what is your goal? 」

    President Yuiga sneered fearlessly.

「Using the power of this ((Wizard’s Wand)), I am going to manipulate the highest authority on this island, Shunjū Ikkaku. I am going to control this island」

    He started saying typical bad guys things……. but it was logical. If that was possible, president Yuiga could immediately become the controller of this island. With the most powerful Nanana Collection ((Wizard’s Wand)), surely that would be possible.

「Is that all you want to do? 」

「Of course not. This is the first step of my aspirations」

「Then tell me, your true goal」

    Isshin Yuiga told me boldly.

 

「It is world domination」

 

「What? 」

    I could not help but ask him again.

    Wait a minute, did this young man just say, world domination? Was that it? The same kind of thing as some famous detective I know? Actually, president Yuiga, weren’t you a serious person?

    I did not expect this line. While I stood there dumbfounded, president Yuiga smirked.

「My aspiration is to control the world」

 

Section 4

 

    President Yuiga was just a fool. In this day and age of the 21st century, I did not think that a high schooler would really tell others that he wants to control the world.

    Surely it was not a joke. Although it was a short period of time, I got to know Isshin Yuiga and he was a serious and straight-minded man. That meant that the man right in front of me really aspired to world domination.

    Well, sure. That’s lovely. People can want whatever they want. That being said, saying that publicly is just embarrassing. You just become a joke.

    In that case, I knew what I must say.

「I will not let you! 」

    Sorry, it was a lie. I did not have the courage to respond to his craziness.

    In fact, I said this.

「Erm……anyways, you are going to give that back to me」

    It was an indirect way of saying things. I cared about my image. I was not wrong though.

    Undoubtedly, I came here for that purpose.

「Then, I shall eliminate you with the power of this wand」

    Then, president Yuiga pointed the wand at me.

『Fire』

    I immediately jumped aside. The pillar of fire rose at the exact place I was at moments ago.

「Hey. Wow. Really! Isn’t this real magic! 」

    I had heard from Nanana, but seeing this in real life surprised me. Indeed, seeing is believing.

『Freeze』

    The ground really froze. Of course, I evaded this.

『Wind』

    A sudden strong wind blew. I somehow managed to escape.

『Pierce through him』

A needle of rock suddenly jutted out of the ground. It would be quite dangerous if I was pierced, so as expected, I dodged.
