Nanana’s Buried Treasure Volume 7 Chapter 7.13

Sansa looks away from Nanana as she spits out this line, obviously displeased.

「Mabye…」

「Hmm?」

「Maybe it would have been better if I hadn’t appeared as an earthbound spirit?」

Sansa hugged Nanana tightly as she looked like she was about to burst into tears. Then continues with her usual vulgarity.

「Of course, you idiot. If you’re here, you’re getting in the way of me ruling this island. Seriously, if you’re going to be an earthbound spirit, you should do it after I’ve wrested control of this island.」

Nanana smiled in Sansa’s arms.

「Then I will become a hero who liberates Nanaejima from Sansa.」

「Even as a ghost you have an annoying personality.」

「Of course, because I’m your best friend.」

They both laugh as they tell each other their true feelings.

「See you Nanana. Later.」

「See you Sansa. Later.」

Then Nanana’s consciousness left M, and Sansa used 《Lotti’s double ring》.

The two disappeared from the scene.

「…um.」

「…well.」

As a result Yun and Tetsu were left hugging each other in the spot.

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

Saki is confused as to what on earth has happened.

Just now, Nanana and Anee-san were talking about something difficult that I couldn’t quite understand… Then Nanana said ‘See you later’ and disappeared. Then I was…

Why is Tetsu holding me!?

Embarrassed, Saki immediately tries to shake out of his arms, but Testu won’t let go.

「Yun… Can we just stay like this for a little while?」

This whisper from Tetsu caused all the strength to leave Saki’s body.

「Umm… well…. Yeah, just a little bit….」

Being wrapped in those arms of Tetsu made her feel so calm. She wished it would never end.

But Tetsu’s grip soon relaxed. 「Sorry」, Tetsu apologized. Feeling a little disappointed, Sakik tried to act tough and said, 「It’s ok.」

In front of her was the person she loved, and she could still feel him hugging her.

So Saki asks Tetsu, 「You know what Tetsu? By chance… yes, by chance I heard about Tetsu and Asumi’s past.」

Tetsu seems confused by what Saki was trying to say.

「You see, I don’t really care. But… but, Testu…」

She was scared to ask further, but felt she had to find out.

So she mustered up the courage.

「Does Tetsu… does Tetsu… like Asumi-san?」

Saki was unable to look up at Tetsu’s face so she looked down. She could only see his toes.

「Yeah, I like her.」

Her body suddenly felt heavy.

「Well, that makes sense, Asumi-san is very cute and she’s the student council president after all. She’s really cool.」

「Yun.」

「Cooler than me…」

Saki ran away, glad she was wearing a mask because the tears wouldn’t stop.

「Tetsunoshin is stupidly honest, as always.」

As Saki ran off, someone called out to Tetsu.

It was a masked man dressed as a banker, but he knew who it was right away.

「You were watching, Taisei?」

「Don’t call people idiots. I guess it’s wrong to be making out in a hallway like this.」

「Long time no see.」

「Yeah, it’s been a while. I didn’t want to run into a traitor though.」

Tetsu stays silent.

「…Say something back. Say something like, ‘I’m not a traitor’.」

「That was indeed the case. I doubted Nishi in the worst way. …I couldn’t believe in her.」

「Yeah, you’re really the worst. And yet you go off on your own, acting cool, acting crazy, and disappearing on your own. You have been a real nuisance to us.」

Then Taisei grabbed Tetsu by the collar.

「Taisei…」

「This is a good opportunity. I’ll make it clear to you now. I love Asumi. So even if you were her husband, I wouldn’t back down.」

Taisei gave a wry smile as Tetsu looked confused by those words.

「I wish I had said that during the student council president match.」

「You can say it now though right?」

「Yeah, but it’s too late now. After all, Asumi has been thinking about you for a whole year since then. Seriously, you showed up at this important 《game》 of all places. Plus, the timing was terrible. You could get close to Asumi after I did something so embarrassing.」

This made Tetsu laugh, just like the old days.

So Tetsu to one of the men he most considers to be trustworthy, 「Protect Nishi.」

「I don’t need you to tell me that.」

Then Tetsu looks in the direction that Organizer M ran away in.

「So, Tetsu. Who is this M actually? It seems like you are close to them.」

Tetsu answered Taisei without hesitation.

「Right now, she’s the girl I like.」

「I’m back.」

I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when Tetsu-kun returned, because the fact that Tetsu-kun was here meant that Sansa-san had really left.

Well, it’s because of her awful personality. She might say she’s going home, but then come back and say ‘I’m baaaack <3’.

Well anyways, I can ask Tetsu-kun.

「So Tetsu-kun, is she gone?」

「She was the best helper.」

「She was the worst helper.」

In any case, we’ve reached a point where we can finally calm down. Our Young Lady Team is finally back to the original three members.

At this point, our leader, Lady Ageha, who has been overshadowed by Sansa-san, has something to say.

「Servant A, you’re in charge from here on out.」

「I can give orders?」

「Yes, that’s what I mean.」

Lady Ageha confirms.

Well, it can’t be helped of I’ve been officially nominated like this.

Before the start of turn 27

Detective team (Blue Spade): Detective & Thief, 520 coins (relief measure still available)

Sakura team (Yellow Diamond): Yamato Nadeshiko & Military Uniform, 520 coins (relief measure used)

Young Lady team (Green Club): Young Lady & Servant A & Servant B, 709 coins (relief measure available)

Cat Ears team (Red Heart): Cat Ears Mask & Cat Ears-chan, 292 coins (relief measure available)

 The Twenty Seventh turn.

Tetsu-kun, who had switched places with Sansa-san, had now switched back. He declared to the camera, 「It’s magic」. Well, there was no flash or anything at the moment of the switch, so I’m can’t be the only one who thought it wasn’t magic right?

As for M (or rather Yun-chan), I could see that the realistic Kumagoros around her had returned to their original black snowman form. So it seems that Nanana-chan had also left. The tension had calmed down from earlier. …Well Yun-chan, who had returned to normal, looks depressed. I’d say her excitement level is actually too low.

Anyway, I was relieved that not only Sansa-san but also Nanana-chan had returned home safely.

Although I had many thoughts about Nanana-chan swirling in my head, I decided to forget about them for the moment and focux on the game. I immediately decided to make my first move.

First, the dice tickets for the turn are collected. Then, representatives from each team gather around the board to roll the dice.

I take this opportunity to step forward.

As all the participants watch me stepping forward I call out, 「I have a proposition for all of you.」
