Nanana’s Buried Treasure Volume 6 Interlude Part 4

Seeing the beckoning, the big tiger starts charging. Shiki also starts charging towards the tiger.

Right after their two shadows pass each other, there is a large spray of blood over the area.

「Graaaah! 」

The one who roared in pain was the great white tiger, Hakutei. It was cut from its right eye to his ear by a knife held by Shiki.

「Heh, it’s not a bad knife.」

Shiki was fascinated by the sharpness of the knife that Kira had dropped earlier.

She throws down the knife and rushes towards the rampaging white tiger. She then shoves her left hand into its large mouth that was lined with fangs.

「Guh, gah.」

The big tiger, which had been so violent, suddenly stiffened.

「Well? How does it feel to have your uvula squeezed?」

The non-slip leather gloves were gripping the large flap of skin dangling at the back of the throat of the large mouth as hard it could.

The white tiger could not close its mouth or retreat. It just stamped its feet.

「I’m sure you guys will recover over time right? Then there’s no need to pull my punches.」

Shiki’s right hand pulled out a large handgun from a holster in the back of her belt. The muzzle of the pistol was pushed into the white tiger’s thick neck and three roars rang out.

The 3 blasts from the muzzle of the gun sprays blood and flesh all over the near ground. The tiger, with a gaping hole in the side of its neck, falls to the ground. Its white body gradually gets stained red with the massive amount of blood that spreads from its neck.

「Phew, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in a real battle, so my body movements are slow. In the past, I could have dealt with an opponent of your size with my bare hands.」

When she turned her shoulders and looked around, she noticed that (as expected) Kira, Sansa, and her subordinates who had passed out earlier had completely disappeared.

「For now, I’ve closed the gap.」

Shiki is well aware that Sansa is not ready to give up just from this though.

The 《game》 will need to be monitored until it has ended successfully.

「Come to think of it, Kiyomi hasn’t said anything to me for a while. Hello, Kiyomi. Can you hear me?」

Shiki tried calling over the radio, but there was no response at all.

「…I got a bad feeling about this.」

「A..advisor! 」

When she turned around to see where the voice came from, she saw Himeko Nonomiya running towards her.

「Nonomiya-chan, what happened?」

「The mobile headquarters was attacked by the enemy and was partially destroyed. Kiyomi-san was kidnapped! 」

Hearing that, Shiki figured everything out and clicked her tongue.

「You did it big guy.」

She used herself as bait to pull Shiki out. She completely read Shiki’s movements.

Shiki looked down in frustration. The large white tiger she had supposedly killed had disappeared. Even the blood that was on Shiki was gone.

It’s as if nothing had happened from the beginning.

**************************

「What do you think is the strongest animal on earth?」

「It’s a lion of course.」

「Isn’t it an elephant?」

「How about a hippo?」

The Three Skulls are secretly renting out this office and are using it as a front-line base for the night.

Sitting down on the sofa in the back, Sansa yells at her subordinates with all her might.

「Remember from this day onwards, the answer is Maboro Shiki! 」

Enraged from remembering Shiki, her guts were boiling.

How is she able to fight back after being caught by the effects of the Nanana collection? She has to be inhuman.

Maboro Shiki is one of the members of the GREAT 7, and as far as Sansa knows, the strongest creature in the world. Her physical strength, motor nerves, reflex speed, etc. Everything about it is beyond possible human levels.

There was once a man who thoroughly examined Shiki. It was another member of the GREAT 7, a mad scientist named Futaba Saito.

According to Saito Futaba, Shiki Maboro is a mutation of the human race. Without getting too complicated, it seems that Shiki’s body deviates from human standards. She’s barely human at a genetic level. She’s a monster that was clearly a mistake made by God, and that is the true identity of Maboro Shiki.

It is a natural talent possessed from birth, on par with Ryugajou Nanana’s heavenly fortune, Mutsumi Koma’s creativity, and Uzuki Kakyouu’s divine eye.

That alone is troublesome, but Shiki has also mastered most of the martial arts of the world as well as the use of heavy weapons, which is really bad.

In terms of personal specs, she is without a doubt the strongest in the GREAT 7.

But that was all in the past.

About a year after Nanana was killed (a decade ago), Shiki learned to drink and became a complete degenerate.

All she does is drink and lay about all day long.

The cost of laziness hits geniuses and ordinary people alike though. Her current power is probably less than half of what it was in her prime.

「But I still can’t win, it’s impossible! 」

She is truly an out of the box cheat. In battle it would be absolutely impossible to defeat Maboro Shiki, even if she were to compete on even ground. In a normal battle.

Sansa glances at the sofa across from her.

「Ahhh, I was kidnapped by a group of delinquents, and now I’m going to become an outlet for their juvenile sexual urges.」

There was Kiyomi Hannami making ‘Boo-hoo’ sounds with tears in her eyes.

Sansa couldn’t help sighing when seeing Kiyomi like that.

「You’re having fun as always Kiyomi.」

「That’s right Kurosu-senpai. It’s rare to be surrounded by so many young people.」

「Heh heh, I’m happy for you.」

Seeing Kiyomi immediately stop pretending to cry and smile sends Sansa berserk.

「By the way Kurosu-senpai. I particularly like this boy, may I nominate him?」

「How brazen of you bitch. We aren’t a host club. …well ok then. Kanza, deal with her.」

Kanza, who is confused by being nominated by Kiyomi, scratches his head wondering what is going on.

「So, does that mean I can seriously seduce you?」

「Yay, let’s go!「, says Kiyomi joyfully. On the other hand Sansa was even more annoyed.

「What the heck Kanza? Do you like older women?」

「I just like beautiful women. And this woman is said to be the brains behind Maboro Shiki. I would love to have her as a partner.」

「If you say something like that, Onee-san will get excited.」

Seeing Kiyomi like this, Sansa gives Kanza some advice.

「You’re fine, but don’t get too serious, she’s a married woman.」

Heeey, Kurosu-senpai. Please leave that part out! 」

「And her husband is Gouto Shishijima. He is the president of the Nanaejima General Security. He’s been flying around to battlefields since he was young, and he’s still active on the front lines.」

「It’s illegal to talk about a husband during a date.」

Kanza’s face turned more and more blue as he heard all the information.

「Ok, cheeeeese.」

Kasnap

「Hey, what are you doing taking pictures with your cell phone Anego!?」

「I’m just thinking I could use that for blackmail.」

「That’s for Kiyomi-san right, not a threat to me?」

「This is a problem. If my husband found out about this, Kanza-kun would be turned into hamburger.」

「Don’t joke about that Kiyomi-san!」

「Ah, when a young boy calls my name so desperately… it makes me feel so good.」

「Just go play Othello you guys.」
