Just when I thought he was a Suspicious Person, it turned out he was a relative of Kaida-kun.
…And then, I realized he was the husband of the president of the company where I applied for a part-time job…
“＼(^o^)／ It’s over.”
Sinri struck a pose with both hands spread wide.
…Yeah, it’s over. My part-time job… there’s no way I’ll get it now…
‘It’ll be fine, surely,’ Tenri spoke to me with her mental voice.
‘Will it be okay?’
‘Master is Mr. Kaida Kogen’s benefactor, after all.’
“Ah, I see…”
If she’s an acquaintance of Kaida-kun, she won’t get fired, huh…
She’s an acquaintance of the Clan Chief, after all.
…Wait, isn’t that nepotism…?
“Anyway, I’ve prepared Breakfast. Everyone will eat, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Sinri-chan is hungry!”
Sinri… you really can’t read the room, can you.
That’s also one of your good points, though. For better or for worse.
“Isn’t the reason Idiot Sister turned out like this because your upbringing, Master, was too lenient?”
Tenri’s sharp criticism… I can’t deny it. I’m aware that I spoil her too much…
“Hoeh? Master?”
But, you know… They say the dumber the child, the cuter they are…
“Please also realize that by doing so, you are creating the pitiful monster known as a ‘Burnable Trash Hiki-NEET’ who is nothing without their Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).”
Burnable Trash Hiki-NEET…
Hey, isn’t that a bit much…?
A short while later.
We arrived at the breakfast venue.
“Woooow! Master! It looks sooooo delicious!”
On the trays were luxurious Japanese-style meals.
Trays with Western food, Chinese food… No, no, no…
“Why Japanese, Western, and Chinese?”
“I wanted you to be able to choose whatever you liked.”
“Ah, thank you…”
But I wonder what they’ll do if they make this much and there are leftovers… Is there someone in charge of dealing with them, I wonder?
“Gobble, gobble, munch, munch, chomp, chomp, chomp!”
…Sinri was digging into every kind of breakfast available—Japanese, Western, and Chinese.
『…』
Through the monitor, Tenri gazed enviously at her older sister, Sinri.
“What is it~? Do you want some~? We~ll, sorry about that! All this delicious food belongs to little Sinri~!”
『…You ●●●-making machine.』
“Hey!? Stop talking about ●●● while I’m eating!”
“Sinri Fills Only ●●●”
…An outrageously low-level quarrel has been unfolding since this morning…
…Ignoring them, I speak to the Suspicious Person, or rather, Niekawa-san.
“I’m sorry about this morning.”
“No, I was also terribly rude. Staring fixedly at a lady’s sleeping figure like that.”
Well, if you just take those words out of context, he’s completely a Suspicious Person.
“If you just take those words out of context, you really are a Suspicious Person, aren’t you.”
“If you just take that word out of context, you’re completely a Suspicious Person. Die.”
Tenri-san!?
“Hey, your words are harsh…”
“Staring intently at my idiot sister’s unsightly sleeping form, die.”
…Hm?
Huh, she’s angry… Could it be not about monitoring me, but about monitoring Sinri…?
Eh, could it be, Tenri-san…?
About Sinri-oneechan, maybe she actually…
『Monitoring my idiot sister, recording her blunders, and eventually uploading them to the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) as ‘Exotic Animal Videos’ is a privilege reserved solely for me.』
「Are you a demon!?」
『No, I am an excellent support AI. Unlike some piece of non-burnable trash.』
「I’m not non-burnable traaaash! If you set me on fire, I’ll buuuurn!」
These two really get along so well…
「So, why was a Public Security detective-san monitoring me?」
“It’s an order from above, you see.”
“Above…? You mean someone important?”
“That’s right.”
Niekawa-san looked at me from behind his sunglasses.
He gave off a somewhat serious air.
“There are actually more visitors from other worlds than people think.”
“! Oh… Is that so?”
“Yes. Though ordinary people aren’t aware of them.”
“…I see.”
Back when I was on Earth, I never saw any Monsters or people from other worlds.
So, does that mean Niekawa-san and the Public Security Bureau were managing things behind the scenes to prevent that from happening…?
“We in the Public Security Bureau’s Special Task Force monitor those who have undergone reverse otherworld Teleportation or reincarnation.”
“Special Task Force… huh.”
Niekawa-san takes out his police identification and shows it to me.
“It’s genuine. He’s properly listed in the Metropolitan Police Department’s database as well.”
So capable, Tenri-san.
“Hey, Tenri! Don’t steal my job!”
“It’s your fault for being slow.”
“I’m not slow! I was just in the middle of eating right now! Usually, I’d have looked it up super fast!”
How did that sound…?
“Well, this is troubling. To think you were someone capable of even Hacking into the police database.”
Ah…
Oh crap…
It looks like I’ve been labeled as a dangerous person…!?
“Hey, I’m not some scary person! I’ve got no plans to be humanity’s enemy! For real!”
It’s way too late now… Am I going to be arrested by the police…?
“Ah, don’t worry. It seems the higher-ups are wary, but I don’t think you’re a bad person.”
“Oh, i-is that so…?”
“Yeah. After all, you’re Takahara-san’s savior. Takahara-san’s judgment is second to none. And since you’re someone he trusts, there’s no way you’re a bad person…!”
R-Right…
Phew… Thank goodness I saved Kaida-kun…
No, that’s not quite right. It’s not like I helped him out of some ulterior motive.
“Master, Master, that’s great! It was lucky you helped Kaida!”
“Just shut up forever, you industrial waste.”
“Stop treating your big sister like trash…!”
