Edie’s shuriken pierced it deeply that it destroyed the interior machine.
Captain, the memory card might be alive, how about taking out the card and look at it through other cameras?
One of the members raised her hand and said.
Memory?
Captain Takeshiba looks for the slot.
Then, Edie comes forward.
She stretches her hand, gesturing to hand the video camera as she smiles.
Do you know where it is?
Captain hands over the camera.
Edie pulls out the memory card from the camera.
Oh, thanks
Then, she takes out an electric lighter from her skirt and burns the memory card.
???!
The intense heat melts down the memory card.
The lighter seems to be order-made too.
Edie smiles.
That’s OK!
Captain Takeshiba.
Yeah, well, the worries of the future disappeared with that
She stared at me.
What’s with her?
Err.
Edie-chan likes to play Ninja
Mana gave up on thinking.
Look, Japanese ninjas are very popular among the Americans currently that they even have ninja Dojo over there. Edie-chan came from there
Err.
Ah, I’ve seen those in TV. It has American people doing ninja things in a ninja classroom or something
One of the club members said.
So that’s the reason for her high physical ability?
Captain Takeshiba speaks amazed.
It’s not just ninja classroom, she seems to have done other martial arts too. I don’t know the details though
Megu also complements the story.
Then, she wanted to go study at a Japanese school, by all means, so she’s transferred to ours
Megu said. Edie’s smiling.
Then, why is this girl with you?
Captain Takeshiba asks us.
You see, Edie-chan’s family has a deal with the company Yoshi-kun’s father works for so she’s staying over at Yoshi-kun’s house
Megu, well done on making this. As expected, she’s smarter than I am.
But, she’s like this so if Yoshi-kun doesn’t hold her hand then she’ll go somewhere else right away, so he has no choice but to hold her hand
Megu made the story more coherent.
I’m aware of it, she’s not a bad kid, I won’t be jealous even if she’s holding hands with Yoshi-kun
Captain Takeshiba.
Does this girl understand Japanese? No, she’s American so she can’t speak Japanese yet
I replied.
We’re able to speak to each other with broken English
Captain Takeshiba looks at the club members,
Hiramatsu, you’re good at English, right? Try talking to this foreigner
What?
Try asking this foreigner if what they’re saying is true
this is bad!
Will Edie be able to read the situation?
If she talks about something unnecessary, it’ll become a more significant problem.
Hiramatsu’s a returnee, so her English is perfect, how many years has it been? I was in New York starting first grade in elementary until the second year in middle school
Isn’t that really bad?
Then, try talking to her Okay
Hiramatsu talks to Edie.
Edie smiles.
The two continues to talk for a while.
How is it, Hiramatsu?
Captain Takeshiba asks.
Captain, I can’t. I don’t get what she’s talking about. I can’t follow the details What do you mean? Her English is a bit out of the ordinary
Hiramatsu-san replies with a troubled look.
Ah, Edie-chan’s from New Orleans
Mana said.
Oh
Hiramatsu-san’s convinced.
What’s with New Orleans?
Captain Takeshiba asks. Hiramatsu-san;
Those from New Orleans have a strong southern accent and a peculiar English coming from the French immigrants. They say it’s Cajun culture Is the accent too much? Yes, it’s hard even for me
No, it’s true that Edie’s accent is strong, but.
Mana’s able to communicate with her.
There’s no chance for someone who lived in America for years like Hiramatsu-san to not communicate properly.
In short.
Edie’s reading the atmosphere.
That’s why she strengthened her New Orleans accent and played out so Hiramatsu-san can’t understand.
Anyway, she did say that Yamamine is her family. They’re trustworthy, she added
Hiramatsu-san said.
Edie in question picks up the shuriken sticking on the camera.
Then, she slaps my shoulder.
She points at the bush Sugiyama was hiding earlier.
Yeah, I get it. Let’s look for it together
I answered Edie.
What’s wrong, Onii-chan?
Mana looks at me wondering.
She wants to collect the shuriken she threw earlier. Michi gave Edie those, so she wants to take good care of them
I go to the bushes with Edie.
She gave Rei-chan a piece earlier, but that was because she wants to encourage Rei-chan.
It’s a significant act for Edie.
She thinks of Rei-chan as her precious family, so she handed her treasured shuriken to her.
Wait, Onii-chan, I’ll look for them too!
Mana also comes running.
She crawled on the bushes.
Edie, your panty’s visible! Don’t turn your ass on us!
Edie nodded and turned her body away.
Sugiyama and others are watching so I’d like you to be a bit more careful.
Edie-chan, there’s one stuck here
Mana finds one stuck on the ground.
Edie also retrieves another.
The last one is stuck in a tree. I pull it out.
Here, Edie Thank You
Edie smiles; wiped away the dirt on the shuriken and placed it back in her skirt.
Then, she sticks her hand to me.
Yeah
I grabbed her hand and came back to the club members.
Onii-chan
Mana extends her hand too.
Sure, Mana
I hold hands with Mana too, and we walk back together.
Oh, I get it now. I’m convinced
Captain Takeshiba tells me.
What? It’s your hand
AH!
Shit, I held hands with Edie and Mana naturally again.
You’re very caring, aren’t you? No, that’s You idiot, I’m praising you
Captain Takeshiba smiles.
I somehow understand what’s your relationship with them, Yamamine doesn’t look like she minds it, so I have no right to say anything about it
Oh, she understood.
By the way, this girl, Edie? She’ll really transfer to our school, right? Ah, yes, that’s the plan Then, tell her this
Captain Takeshiba.
There are much more splendid martial arts in Japan other than ninjutsu. You should do them
No way.
That martial arts is athletics Look at oneself and hone one skill. It’s the best martial arts in the world!
Captain Takekshiba’s view of athletics is that it’s also a martial arts.
By the way, Captain, what should we do with them?
The third-year club member points at Sugiyama and the other.
Right, these guys tried to take photos of us. We need to penalize them Uhm, captain Takeshiba
I secretly point on Iwakura-san who’s hiding to the captain.
I know. This is a problem the female track and field club faces so I’ll talk to her
Ah, she noticed.
My eyesight is 2.0 you know
She shows off her big eyes and smiled.
You lot can go now, there’s a lot of work in your house, right?
Oh right.
Well then, we’ll excuse ourselves Everyone, I’ll be leaving early. I’m very sorry for the troubles for the holidays
Megu bows her head to the members of the club.
She took a day off from practice and yesterday, she left early.
Megu’s a first year, so she actually needed to clean up and yet;
Really sorry. I apologize as well!
I bow my head too.
Edie and Mana also bowed together.
It’s inevitable, your house has a problem. It must be a lot of trouble for you too, you had a foolish man as a relative
Captain Takeshiba’s referring to Megu and Mana’s father.
