CH 224

Episode 224: Leave it to the great detective, desu!! (Third Party Perspective)

"Excuse me!! Desu."

"Welcome, erm ... Customer, who are those two?"

As soon as she enters the Explorers' Union, the staff member in charge of being a guide calls out to her involuntarily when seeing Noelle's strange state.

If a Middle School to High School girl pulls two grown-up men, it's only natural that they would stand out.

"Those who tried to threaten girls with the power of an explorer to make them do as they say, desu. I would like you to take over, desu."

"I, is that so. I understand."

At Noelle's words, the female staff speaks to something like a microphone on her chest. Within a minute several men came and took the two unconscious men.

"So, I'd like to hear your story, would you mind?"

"Yes, desu."

When asked by the staff to find out more about the men she brought, Noelle nods without making a displeased face.

"Excuse me!!!!!! Please help!!!!!!"

However, the flow is cut off by the next visitor who came to the Explorers' Union.

"What happened?"

"U, umm, my little sister went into the dungeon and hasn't come back for three days. I went to look for her, but she's nowhere to be found!! I beg of you, please help!!"

"P, please calm down."

When the guide staff who was dealing with Noelle calls out to the woman who entered the Explorers' Union in a rushed state and is sweating profusely, the woman clings to the staff and appeals while shedding large tears.

The staff calms down the woman while being confused by the woman's appearance.

It's normal for an explorer to not return from the dungeon for several days, but it's strange to say they're not anywhere in the dungeon.

"Pipiiiin. This is the scent of an incident!!"

Just like a scene where white flashes run on the pitch black background, Noelle has an attitude that she seems to have an idea, with her thumb and forefinger under her chin, she grins fearlessly.(TN:Some detective reference I'm guessing? Is it Conan? I have only watched one episode, so I don't know.)

"Please search ... !!"

"No, that ..."

Before Noelle, a battle between a clinging woman and the staff member is unfolding.

"I heard your story, desu!!"

"Y, you are!?"

Noelle cuts in between the two of them, puffing out her chest with a proud smile, Noelle interrupts the woman shedding tears and gives her name.

"I am Great Detective Noelle!! I will take over this case!! Desu!!"

"Eh!?"

"Haa!?"

Noelle dons a detective hat and cape that are unknown as to where they came from, gives a thumbs up and winks. The woman and the staff are stunned by Noelle's theatrical moves.

"Hey, let's hurry up, desu!! The case won't wait, desu!!"

"Eh, ah, wait!?"

"Ah, hey!! I haven't heard from either of you yet, so please don't go anywhere without permissioooon!!"

Without waiting for a reply from either of them, Noelle takes the woman's hand and pulls her, running out of the Explorers' Union. For a moment, the staff member freezes blankly, but she also runs after the two of them.

However, halfway through, Noelle picks up the woman under her arm and speeds up, making it impossible for the staff member to follow her.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!! Seriously!! What am I going to do about this!! I have to write a report!!"

The staff member stops running and curses when she realizes she can't catch up. The cicadas are chirping and the sun is shining brightly.

"And, where is that dungeon, desu?"

"I want you to stop carrying me like this first ..."

Asked by Noelle, who is still holding the woman under her arm, the woman lets out her complaints.

"That's no good, desu. We won't make it in time for the case, desu."

However, Noelle has no time to let her go.

"Haa ... I understand. Over there."

"Understood, desu!!"

Realizing that it didn't matter what she said, the woman leads her to the dungeon.

"Arrived, desu!!"

"Ugh. Put me down ..."

"It can't be helped, desu."

The woman is exhausted because Noelle was running for real. Since there will be a permanent guard and a dungeon gate ahead, Noelle decides to let the woman down.

"Haa ... Haa ... Who exactly are you?"

"First of all, isn't it the Japanese way to introduce yourself first, desu?"

Noelle asks the questioning woman.

In Japan, the knowledge that if someone asks for your name, they will tell you theirs first, of course, anime and manga works are the source of this knowledge.

"Th, that's right. I'm Yamazaki Himari. I'm a D-rank explorer. My sister is Hina. She's an E-rank explorer."(TN:Ugh, she also uses Desu, lol. However, unimportant character, and inconsistent, not exactly a speech tic so I'll omit it.)

"Himari is it, desu. That's a good name, desu. I'm Noelle. My international rank is B, desu."

Himari introduces herself first, followed by Noelle.

Noelle's normal license, which is accepted all over the world, is B-rank. However, if it's domestic, the same treatment as the highest rank is assured.

"B!? You're a high rank explorer after all!?"

"Do you believe me, desu?"

Noelle wonders at the surprised Himari. Recently she feels that there are many people who believe her even when they hear what she says and does.

"If you carry me and move that much, I'll know that you're quite high level."

"I see, desu. Well then, since I introduced myself, I'll go right away, desu."

Convinced by Himari's answer, Noelle immediately starts walking towards the dungeon.

"W, wait please."

Himari hurriedly chases after Noelle, who moves forwards.
