《Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life》Chapter 32 : The Most Suspicious Person
Advertisement
go to the slums, bring a pack of "Camel", put in down on the bench near the broken fountain, sit on the other side while smoking, just wait a couple of minutes, a man will come in and sit on the side where you're put your cigarette, "Camel" means you're asking for information, "Marlboro" you are asking for a job, "Winston" you are putting in a job
yup... and that guy shows up, don't ever turn back while talking to him and just let him ask first. i only know he shows up because a white dot closing in and sit on the next side... I heard some rumor about this and decides to try it.. and this man really something
"so, what do you want to ask? Kamiya Nashi? how old are you right now? ah right 17.." [Informant] ... yup, i don't even know how he's able to know my name when we first met
"... free information, anything that's worth that pack of "Camel", about this girl, has anyone smuggle or sell her out of the town on the past 7 days?" [Nashi] i give him the photo of Akibara little sister...
"no" [Informant] that means she's still in this town.. or she's already dead...crap, i should've changed my question
"i see, that's all you can leave then" [Nashi] i give my hand to him, asking the photo to be given back
"... i feel like i have seen her somewhere before, but i can't seem to remember where" [Informant] he says this while giving the photo backs to me
".......... what are the price?" [Nashi] ... that means she still in this town or does she? .. Nah this man is famous for his accurate information, there's no way he gives misleading information like that... so that's a slip up huh
"just a simple job~ how about becoming a courier?, I'll give the details once you're taking the goods" [Informant]
..........no name and address are given, sorry dude... i don't doing that anymore since i have a stable source of income, for now...
"I'll pass.." [Nashi]
"i see" [Informant]
yup... i already tried my best, now just wait till he walks away, and there he goes.. after i can't see him on mini-map anymore, i finished my cigarette stand up and start walking to the meeting point.
so at least she still in this town, dead or alive is unknown, i really wonder how the hell he knows about things like this while walking i reach the crime scene and...
oh, that's the gang, looks like they meet up at the same spot, what a coincidence... and the one with the mask must be Akamine... right?
"so... anything new?" [Nashi]
"....damn, i really regret why i said that" [Kyo] ... looks like they circled around the area and didn't get anything

".......Akamine... why are you wearing a mask?" [Nashi]
"it will be bad if an idol like her going around and asking things like this right? so i give her that mask" [Julia] ....... actually that's a good idea, but it is weirder if someone using horse mask asking around a girl
"....Nachi whatever you are thinking, i already try to tell both of them" [Yuki]
"hee~.. you two have it hard eh" [Nashi]
"so, did you find something?" [Riku]
"Yeah, at least she still in this town, don't know where though" [Nashi]
"aw~ so you are having a dead-end too huh" [Julia]
"...Akibara-san this might sound rude, but do you parents have an enemy? or something like that?" [Nashi]
"no... the police already asking that, but as far as i know they don't have one........." [Akibara]
"how about chain message at the internet? or something like putting on the missing people poster? [Kyo]
"*sniff* my family and me already tried that too, but there's no dependable response, most of the time they just want to take our money" [Akibara] ... taking a fortune from someone else misfortune eh
"okay then" [Nashi] let's see... if I'm a kidnapper, is there any reason for me not to brings her out of the town? the first reason is I'm confident about the place where i hide her, next i can't drive a car or don't have a method to bring her out of the town, last .... foods? this depends on the kidnapper but if I'm going to kidnapped someone, at least i must buy some food... right... what does it need to keep someone in place? cage? too noisy.. at least i must have a basement, rope? there's no way a rope can stay strong for 7 days, so there must be a period where i must buy a new one
...... wolf has a good nose, right? can't they just smell things out and follow the scent, nah... it's already 7 days,
"Nachi~, why don't you and Yasutake sneaks in and Hack some things from the convenience stores? or maybe tools shops?" [Julia] she's whispering this to me, so at least she's thinking the same as me huh...
"...in the middle of the day like this? nah to much risk, besides even if he managed to get it, most likely it will be the sales information, and there's no way for the people that watch the stores remember whose buying what" [Nashi]
"aw... so should we try to break in at houses that big enough to have a basement? [Julia]
"and which house should we start with? how about yours?" [Nashi]
"........ um, senpais" [Hotsukai]
"hm?/what~?" [Nashi/Julia]
"..... no matter how i look at it, that guy over there is suspicious right?" [Hotsukai]

"you're right!" [Riku] ... please take off that mask already, you're the most suspicious person here
"..... that just a guy that has a flu right?" [Yuki]
...... yup, he's coughing and a bag that he's bringing is from a drug store, oh i open my "Map" and start looking the best possible hiding place, this is urban area i don't think there's one, and yep...
grrrr... this somewhat annoyed me, feels like we are playing a game mouse and cat but there's no single clue about the mouse where about.....grahhhhh...... let's just drop the stick and go to which direction they go...........
"let's just circling around one more time then" [Julia]
"....yes...." [all] so in the end, we just blindly circling around, depending on our luck, Julia, and Yasutake, Me and Akibara, and the other 3 spread out once again but this time...
a call is coming from Julia
"Nachi~! i think we find our mouse!" [Julia]
"...how?"
"we just blindly walking around~ and find a really suspicious person~, you might want to come to our place at....." [Julia]
she says the place, i "pin-point" it at the map, on midway we meet the other three, and our meeting with Julia and Yasutake is~
"That person just walks into that apartement~ ah there're two of them actually" [Julia]
"..... what makes you so sure about that?" [Nashi] and not only that, her meeting point is directly in front of the target house??
"GUTS!!" [Julia]
"........just die" [Yuki] ah.. she's holding her stomach in pain, well we were running to this place, anyhow i agrees with Yuki this time
"....um, senpai it's positive" [Hotsukai]
"What....?" [Nashi] ah... "Access" looks like he's already accessing things from inside that two apartment, i see a positive huh
"Visual?" [Nashi] we just don't care anymore about whether or not Akibara knows about ability, oh she's catching her breath too...
"Audio... but their conversation is suspicious, something like "there's a two kid following us, is that the sister? no, her face looks different, .... those kids standing on the front, ah.. crap that's the sister right" .... something like that" [Hotsukai] ........ basically they just confessed right? well,not really, since Yasutake is kinda cheating with his Ability i see Access huh, an Ability to Access all kind of Technological devices and sharing senses with them , it can't be moved around but he can shares and senses a Technological device in 100M/ability point, the duration only equal to his CHA + Level/ s, this is little troublesome since he has low CHA anyhow
i walk to their apartment door and just knock it, Hotsukai once again Access their device and ... "make sure she doesn't move around or make any noises" ... i knock the front door again and~ ah he opened it just enough to take a peek
"is this Hiroto house? we are his friend from school and want to give him some notes, ah how is he doing? are you his brother?" [Nashi]
hee, i can feel that he's more relaxed now,
".... you've got the wrong door, Hiroto is nex-?" [Man A]
before that man can close the door, i manage to hold it with my hand
"ah wait.. the address is in here, so can i entrusted the notes to you?, you know since it's already night and we need to get home" [Nashi]
..... oh he opened the door, but sorry dude, once a red is a red
as soon as he opens the door, i kick his stomach, he drops down with his back on the floor .. i didn't kick you that hard, anyway, to make sure i stomp at his stomach and kick at his balls... ah, he's screaming, looks like i messed up... oh he pass out? i wonder what's the condition of a red dot. since Yuki index can't explain the Ability we got by itself ...
anyway, i open "Map", find two dots inside the room in the corner, one dot moving into the another one .... oh... he's holding her a hostage right ... seems like i can't charge in
"Kyo~ your job next~" [Nashi] he just nods and prepares his sax
we walk away from the door, Akibara, Akamine, and Hotsukai look confused but decides to follow us, after a while, Kyo come out with a Sax on his hand... yup if we hear his lullaby we will be sleeping right now, and playing it outside of the door aren't that wise, since the victim will increase, so using "SFX" to edit his hearing to 0, and use "Score" as a guidance to play the song , he just make people inside that apartment sleep.... looks like some neighbour is hearing his song too.. i can hear the sound of falling down... hopes they'll be okay
anyhow we walk in, i direct them to the place where the two dots are ........ huh, Akibara little sister, laying in there with pretty hardcore clothes , seems like they don't rape her or doing something like that... since her body pretty clean,anyhow Akibara ran to her sister... relax she just feel asleep
".....no one going to call a police? i already called them last week" [Nashi]
"ah... let me do that *sniff*" [Akibara]
".... looks like all end well huh" [Riku]
...... you know if i am you , I'm going to take off that mask a long time ago

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
