Kunai

I present my evidence, a kunai! [Ransei]This kunai belongs to me. Master, where did you find it? [player]You're making things easier for me by admitting it directly. Your family's logo is on this, so it must belong to you. [player]I picked this up in the flower bed outside the restaurant we were just at. Are you going to tell me you dropped it there by accident? [Ransei]...You're right, Master. I followed you here. [player]You must be the person who has been following Ninomiya around recently then. [Hana Ninomiya]Ransei, so you're the person who has been following me around? [player]Ninomiya, why did you come down? [Hana Ninomiya]I was afraid that you'd get into a conflict with the person following me around, so I came down to take a look because I felt a little uneasy. [Ransei]Hi, Ninomiya-senpai. [Hana Ninomiya]Hello. Hana Ninomiya looks relieved after finding out the person following her is an acquaintance, but the doubt on her face doesn't disappear completely. [player]Why did you suddenly start following Ninomiya around? [Ransei]Master, have you heard of the rumor about "three-player mahjong?" [player]I remember... it's a rumor related to Ninomiya, right? [Hana Ninomiya]Uh-huh... [Ransei]I'm ashamed to say that I'm also one of the rumored victims who were completely crushed by Ninomiya-senpai in mahjong. [Ransei]To be more precise, I lost to her amazing concealment techniques. [player]Ninomiya, when did you learn this ability?! [Hana Ninomiya]Why are you also getting astonished? I don't remember having a skill like that. [Ransei]You're too humble! Seeing is believing, and I have experienced your concealment technique many times already! [Ransei]Whenever the vice president gets us problem children to clean up the playground, there's always a place that is cleaned without us realizing it, and none of us there can remember who cleaned it. We only found out after checking the duty roster afterwards that it was you, senpai. [Ransei]This technique that can conceal oneself from and change the perception of everyone present is definitely a top concealment technique! One Han City sure is filled with talented people. There are powerful Jyanshi here like Master and experts like senpai. This world is very big indeed! We don't know what to say after hearing Ransei's passionate and moving speech, so we can only let her continue talking. [Ransei]To become a stronger mahjong player and ninja, I decided to follow senpai around to find out the secret to her training. But she is truly worthy of being a master. She always manages to disappear while I'm following her. [Ransei]I thought everything was going well today, but then you saw through me, Master... [player]Haha, you're too naive, Ransei. [player]Allow me to introduce you properly. The person in front of you is Hana Ninomiya, the shadow behind the legend of "three-player mahjong," the hidden monster of the mahjong table, and the "master of invisibility." Her ability to become transparent isn't something that can be easily imitated by others! [Hana Ninomiya]PLAYER, why do you look so smug even though you're introducing me? [player]I'm just creating an atmosphere... In short, Ransei, you're allowed to train, but it's best if your training doesn't affect other people. [player]Ninomiya has been feeling uneasy these last few days because you've been following her. I think you should say something to her. [Ransei]I see... I'm so sorry, Ninomiya-senpai! I thought I had concealed myself very well, but I was unable to escape your notice and caused you distress. Seeing Ransei bow down to her while apologizing makes Hana Ninomiya rub the hair next to her ears embarrassedly. [Hana Ninomiya]It's okay. You don't have to apologize so seriously. [Ransei]I wasn't able to outsmart an expert like Ninomiya-senpai this time, and even Master easily saw through my actions. It seems that I still have a lot to learn before I can become fully independent. [Ransei]Master, if you don't have other instructions for me, I'll take my leave now and continue with my training. At the very least, I will try not to let you find out next time! With these words, Ransei disappears in the blink of an eye. [player]So you'll start to bother me instead of Ninomiya, huh... Oh well. Whatever, at least Ransei won't disturb Hana Ninomiya again in the near future, so this stalking incident has been resolved. [player]Let's play mahjong upstairs, Ninomiya. [Hana Ninomiya]Okay... By the way, so do you also think I'm very transparent, PLAYER? [player]Um... [Hana Ninomiya]In the restaurant earlier, you said I was cute and would watch out for me. So you said all that just to comfort me. [player]...M-Miss Ninomiya, are you angry? [Hana Ninomiya]Not at all. I just think that I need to try a lot harder to give you a stronger impression of me, PLAYER. [Hana Ninomiya]The simplest method is to play mahjong with you. Well, PLAYER, I'm going to need you to help me verify whether I'm transparent while playing mahjong. [player]Miss Ninomiya, your smile is kinda terrifying right now... That afternoon, Hana Ninomiya tortured me at the mahjong table... [player]...Hmm? A text message? I was woken up by a message from Hana Ninomiya the next morning. [Hana Ninomiya]Good morning, are you awake? [player]I just got up. What's up? [Hana Ninomiya]Nothing, I just wanted to say... From now on, let's greet each other in the morning after we wake up. What a sudden proposal. [Hana Ninomiya]After all... PLAYER, didn't you say you would always pay attention to me so I won't have a "lonely death"? [Hana Ninomiya]I think it's necessary to say hello to each other in the morning or something. Although it's a sudden proposal, it's quite reasonable. Let's do that from now on then. [player]Good morning, Ninomiya.
