“Well then, let’s investigate.”
After confirming that the senpai had arrived home safely, I set out to investigate Fujita senpai.
However, since I don’t know where he is, it’s difficult to call it an investigation.
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to ask the people who seem to know.”
The people who might know would be the members of the baseball club.
They were suspended from Koshien because of Fujita senpai, so they must have a lot of grudges against him, and there’s a good chance they have some kind of information since they were involved a lot.
“But I don’t know anyone on the baseball team. What should I do?”
I should just ask around and see what I can find out.
If they know where he is, I can search around there, and if they don’t know where he is, I can take other means.
For the time being, let’s give it a try.
◇
“Hahaha~ the hate was great～”
I asked the senior members of the baseball team at random and heard all kinds of information.
I even heard information that I didn’t need to hear.
They must have a grudge against him.
“Well, it’s only natural, considering what he did to them.”
For high school baseball players, Koshien is the stage of their dreams.
The suspension from the tournament is a terrible thing for a high school baseball player who has earned the right to challenge for the tournament.
Fujita senpai, who brought this on himself, was treated like the villain.
“Well, thanks to it, I was able to get his address and stuff, so it’s fine by me.”
To be honest, I had nothing to do with what he was going through.
“Well, they said he lives around here, but I wonder if he’s really here.”
I arrived at the area where I thought Fujita senpai was living, relying on the information that the baseball team members had given me.
I can’t visit his house, so I have no choice but to find him.
“It’s a hassle～but the hard part is that I have to do it.”
Partly because Senpai asked me to, but if I let that person go and harm Amane senpai, it would be a big deal.
That’s all I have to avoid.
“However, I don’t know if he’ll be here at this time or not, so I guess I’ll just leave here for today and go home. It’s already late.”
The sun had completely set and it was dark.
The place where I am now is a quiet residential area, so there are few pedestrians.
It’s not a good place and time for a fragile girl like me to be.
“Well, let’s go home and relax. Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday, so I will gather more detailed information there.”
I headed home, thinking about what I would research on this Saturday and Sunday.
◇
“Well, I guess it’s not so convenient to find out by chance, is it?”
The next day, I was again searching around Fujita senpai’s house, but it was not so easy to find him.
It’s doubtful that this is really Fujita senpai’s house in the first place.
But there is no merit for the baseball team to lie there.
“It’s gonna be troublesome.”
In my experience, investigations in such cases tend to drag on for a long time.
Moreover, even if it were investigated, if the stalker’s true identity was not Fujita senpai, it would be back to square one.
It was too much trouble.
I shouldn’t have taken the easy way out.
“Hey there, girl, wanna hang out with us?”
“No, I’m waiting for someone.”
I have been involved with people like this a few times when I was doing research.
But recently, I’ve had so many of them that I’ve become accustomed to dealing with them.
“Don’t say that, it’s definitely fun !”
“Hard pass.”
“Hey~ it’s fine.”
The man grabbed my arm.
I quickly tried to shake him off, but he was too strong and I couldn’t get him off.
“C’mo n, let’s go.”
“Where are we going ! Let go of me !”
I tried to resist, but he kept pulling me away.
I screamed loudly, but there was no one around.
There is a large car in front of me.
If they take me there, I’m in trouble.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah?”
“She doesn’t like it, does she? Let her go.”
The person who was holding the man’s hand was someone familiar to me.
◇
“Why are you here?”
“That can wait. You can either let go of my hand and disappear, or I can turn you in to the police.”
I looked the man in the eye as I grabbed his hand, and I gradually strengthened my grip on his hand.
I feel like I’ve been putting in a bit more strength than before, probably because I’ve started working out again little by little recently.
“Tsk, you better remember this ! You little shit !”
I ran to the car in front of me and got into it while holding his hand, and immediately started running.
His escape phrase is totally a mob character of the third rank.
That one.
“Thank you for saving me.”
“Don’t mind it. What’s more, why is Nanami san here?”
“That’s my question.”
I think this place was near Satoru’s house.
I had asked her to look into it, but I thought she didn’t know where Satoru’s house was, so I sent her an email, but it didn’t get marked as read, so I came all this way just to check, but I didn’t expect her to have already looked up the address.
I’m so impressed with you, detective girl.
“I asked you to do some research and you didn’t give me your address or anything, so I sent you an email, but you didn’t read it, so I just came to check, but I didn’t realize you were really here.”
“I see. I’ve definitely received an email.”
Nanami san took out her smartphone and looked at the screen, exclaiming.
I was able to help by chance this time, but something like this doesn’t happen every time.
It’s not safe around here and there’s a lot of crime.
I should look into Satoru’s case on my end.
“Just get out of here for now. You never know what might happen.”
“I guess so. I’ll be very upset if I get tangled up with those guys again.”
“I guess so. Shall we go?”
“Yes, sir.”
We decided to change the place for the time being, and we started to move.
◇
“Don’t start the investigation of Satoru tomorrow.”
“Why? We haven’t been able to find out anything yet.”
“I’m sure you’ve learned from this incident that it’s not safe to be around there. It is too dangerous for a pretty girl like you to be alone. I know I shouldn’t be the one saying this.”
I completely forgot that those areas are not safe.
I had forgotten that I had been tangled up with dangerous-looking guys a few times when I went to Runa and Satoru’s house.
“You really don’t mean that, right?”
Nanami san sighed, a little taken aback.
It can’t be helped to be disappointed.
“I said you can stop. I’ll drop you off today, so let’s go home now.”
“It’s not fine at all. I’m still a detective’s daughter. Once I receive a request, I will finish it. It seems like Senpai is worried about me, but this time I just let my guard down. I’ve learned from this incident that it’s such a dangerous area, so next time I’ll bring some self-defense equipment.'”
“……What kind of self-defense equipment?”
“I’ll bring a taser, spray gun, and other things. At the very least, it’s something that can repel the average thug.”
Nanami san names things that the average person definitely doesn’t have.
It seems like this girl isn’t just a cute girl after all.
“But it’s dangerous, isn’t it?”
“Be quiet. This is a matter of my pride. There is no need for you to send me home. Well then.”
“Ah, wait….she’s gone.”
Before I could stop her, Nanami san was gone.
She is a junior who doesn’t listen to me at all.
“I’m still pretty worried about her.”
Well, she wasn’t going to stop when I told her how worried I was.
“Haa, let’s just go home. If I take any more time, Towa’s gonna be pissed.”
I told her I was going for a little walk, so she might get suspicious if I took any more time.
I decided to take a short run back the way I came.
