Nanana’s Buried Treasure Volume 10 Chapter 1.2

Taisei was appointed vice student council president by Asumi, who became student council president. In reality he didn’t do any of the work at all. In fact he was incapable of doing any of the work.

「Okay, Misao. Give me some work for the student council. I’ll show you that I can do it too if I put my mind to it.」

「Oh, sure. If I leave it to Tai-chan, it’ll end up being double the work for me. Kuroko, I’m sorry, but could you help me?」

「Okay. I have no affiliation with the student council, but I’m a good worker and I’ll gladly help out. After all, I love President Nishi.」

And so Misao and Kuroko begin working at an empty desk.

「….」

There’s no way for him to get through. It’s tough being a man alone at a time like this.

The other student council member, third-year Masaaki Kishitani, is currently hospitalized due to injuries sustained during the <<game>>. Even so, Masaaki’s presence wouldn’t have made a difference. After all, he’s a man of both academic and athletic ability, skilled not only in martial arts but also in studies. In comparison there is only one way Taisei could be of help.

「Tai-chan, please take care of the community. You have an appointment today, right?」

Indeed, it was almost time for Taisei’s meeting.

「….Roger…」

And so, he left the student council room alone.

Despite being incompetent at his job, Taisei is the second in rank of the student council. The main reason is because Taisei is the leading expert in hunting Nanana collections.

Taisei isn’t very smart. He’s never liked studying, and he used to be a neet. His academic evaluations are undoubtedly low. But even so, Taisei is well-known among the owners of the Nanana collection. He’s known as the ‘conqueror’, having conquered so many of the hidden <<ruins>> throughout Nanaejima and continued to acquire the Nanana collection.

Daisei’s life changed when, a year and a half ago, he met Asumi at the Fifth High School he was attending at the time. As he was walking down the hallway, his cell phone rang in his pants pocket.

「Hello?」

「Is that you, Daisei? Come to the guard room. You have a visitor.」

「Got it, Tendou-san. I’m on my way now」, he said, followed by hanging up the phone and slightly increasing his walking speed.

It was summer vacation, so the brand new Seventh High School was almost deserted. To be honest, there weren’t that many students to begin with. As a newly established boarding school that had been around for less than a year, the students were mostly transfer students who had moved in from other schools last year and first-year students who had just enrolled in April of that year.

The Seventh High School was ranked the lowest on Nanaejima.

Daisei changed into his shoes at the shoe locker and headed outside. The midsummer sun on the southern island of Nanaejima was so hot it was no joke. It was so hot he just couldn’t stand it.

「Oh, it’s Daisei-senpai.」

「Good work!」

Just then, a first-year female member of the sports club, taking a break in the shade, noticed him and waved back.

「Shut up, and take your club activities seriously. I’m going to blackmail you.」

As I was sending refreshing cheers to my sempai working hard at club activities in this heat, another first-year student casually spoke to him. Daisei just brushed it off. Perhaps it’s because there are so few upperclassmen, or perhaps it’s just the nature of Asumi, the student council president. It’s a newly established boarding school, so the student body is certainly small. But more than anything, the bond between all the students is stronger than anything else.

Daisei doesn’t dislike this high school.

He leaves the school building and opens the door to the guard room next to the main gate, saying ‘Hi’, to be greeted by the cool breeze from the air conditioner. Then Tendo-san, the high school’s guard, who was sitting on a metal chair reading a book, looks up.

Tendo-san, dressed in a security guard uniform, is a handsome man and popular with female students. Furthermore, he himself is a very unprincipled man who loves young women. However, he is a capable man who does his job well, so as long as Tendo-san is there, no one will trespass the Seventh High School.

Tendou-san pointed behind himself with a sullen look on his face.

「Take him away quickly. It’s really unpleasant to have a man in this room.」

The familiar visitor sitting there was wearing a guest card handmade by Tendou on his chest.

Daisei bowed slightly to the visitor and said, 「Thank you.」

「Hmph, it’s been a while, Daisei Amagi.」

The person who was sitting there was Kagetora Tsurezure, a third-year student and member of the Adventure Club at Nanaejima Third High School.

2

Kagetora Tsurezure is one of the third generation members of the Third High School Adventure Club, known even to the community, and they had previously faced off against him around the time of the Tanabata Festival.

At that time, he was breathing fire and had movements almost like a ninja. He was also able to fight on equal terms with Masaaki, who was using the <<Hekatonkeiru’s shackles>> from the Nanana collection to give himself inhuman strength. Misao also told Daisei that he is abnormally perverted. ‘That guy is pretty gross’, she said with a straight face. In fact, while he was moving around, he looked intently at the girls on the track and field team running in the schoolyard, and laughed fearlessly, saying, ‘Wow, that’s really sexy’, which makes me think he must be perverted for real.

Just like he has for the past few days, Daisei shows the visitors around.

When challengers visit the Seventh High School, Daisei explains the activities of the Seventh High School Community, the rules for becoming a member, and also shows them around the base facility. A major feature of the Seventh High School community is that the Nanana collection that each member acquires becomes property of the community as a whole instead of an individual member. It is then lent out to the members. This allows challengers with a specific purpose in mind to obtain and use the Nanana collection they need for their goal, without having to waste time conquering the <<ruins>>, where it’s unclear what Nanana collection is hidden. Of course, they will still need to contribute to the community to a certain extent. (by helping to conquer the <<ruins>> or donating their own Nanana collection)

The condition for borrowing a collection is that the user must declare how the item will be used. At this time, consultation is also required regarding criminal activity. However, this only applies if you join the community.

Even if they don’t join the community, a place has been prepared that any challenger can use, as a place to exchange information with other challengers. That is the building that Daisei and the others are standing in front of now. Located on the grounds of the Seventh High School, a brand new building has just been completed, located away from the school building. The building was supposedly built for the student council to use for interactions with outsiders, but in reality, it was built exclusively for the Nanana Collection Community, and was built by the student council president (Asumi) using her political powers to get it built.

Upon entering the building, He saw a familiar face watching a large TV on a sofa in the dining room. Reclining on the sofa was Neidhart D. Polnareff, a member of the community and an external exchange student attending a nearby university. He’d been hanging out here since summer vacation began. ‘The air conditioning is on, so it’s comfortable here’, he said.

Ignoring Haruto, they moved further inside, unpacked boxes.

「We’re still in the preparations, but we’re planning to put up a bulletin board or something to post information.」

「I see.」

After Daisei’s brief tour, Kagetora, like the other challengers who had come before, looked around the building. However, Kagetora’s reason for coming here was different from those of the other challengers. Kagetora’s purpose was to find a certain Nanana collection owned by Daisei and his group.

He was led to the reception room and offered a seat.

「Well, let’s skip the formalities and get straight to business.」

Then Daisei removes the string from around his neck and places it on the desk. This is the Nanana collection owned by Daisei and his friends called <<the harem>>… aka <<the seal of the twin heavens>>. It is an iron contract. When the master makes a ‘seal’ by joining the fingers of both hands, they can summon beings known as demons. Incidentally, all of the demons summoned from <<the seal of the twin heavens>> are female.

And that is precisely Kagetora Tsurezure’s goal. With this in front of him Kagetora looks at Daisei.

「How much do you know about my situation?」
