The Two Stalkers

10:40

Jin enters the Dungeon Guild. Together with Note-kun at the coffee shop.

Note: Where is the continuation after that?

Currently, we are sitting by the round table in the caf. I ask the question right after I read her notes.

Rosalia: It cant be helped. Because Note-kun does not allow me to tail Jin closely, there is nothing to write down.

Note: I understand the reasoning behind your complaint, but

Rosalias face grows bigger. Most likely because she is holding her unhappiness about my method of following Jin. The method that I choose is the safest method, which is using my Mapping Skill and art to probe on Jins movement from afar. However, due to my extra precaution, we are completely clueless about what Jin is doing. At the moment, we are about three buildings away from Jins location. With this method, we wont be exposed by Jin. But on the downside, Rosalia is not able to relish the thrill of trailing Jin. She is not happy with the situation where she is just simply following behind me. She has been complaining so many times, This cant be called tailing at all!

At this moment too, perhaps due to boredom, she keeps swaying her feet against mine under the table. Since I have disabled the art, she can move around as she wants. However, she shouldnt pester me like this with her feet.

Fortunately, Jin does not seem to notice us following him. If by any chance he realizes that we have been tailing him, I will know right away because the art will pick up the enmity that he leashes out. I dont sense any enmity now, so there is nothing to worry about, right?

Jin has pointed out about my ability and I also have been able to feel it too. Since I returned from the 20thfloor, I found out that I have become surprisingly remarkable at art. Now, I am completely confident that I am able to see my surrounding without seeing them with my eyes.

According to Reese, keep activating the art on daily basis is normally impossible to do. Actually, she is right. Its pretty odd to keep activating an art that is used to sense a monsters presence in the middle of the city. However, since it has become a habit of mine, I cannot stop it.

Perhaps Jin is unable to sense us because he does not activate the art at the moment. Although I use to erase our presence, this art will be useless against Jins art. He will immediately find out that we have been tailing him.

Rosalia: Then, what is Jin-san doing inside the Dungeon Guild?

Note: HmmIm not completely sure, but he seems to be talking to someone.

Rosalia: Is he talking to a girl?

Note: My cannot discern something like that. But he does not speak to one person for long. He seems to be talking to a lot of different people.

Rosalia: Then, he may just exchange greetings with others or something like that. So boring.

Rosalia collapses on the table. At the same time, the parfait that she has ordered has just arrived. She lifts up her body immediately and her eyes brighten up at the sight of the parfait. Somehow, she seems to have lost her interest in Jins movements and devotes herself to eat.

13:30 Eating lunch together with Note-kun! Jin arrives at the weapon shop.

Note: Dont you think that you should have written that in the reverse order?

I spontaneously point out to Rosalia who has just finished writing her notes with her pen. After she finishes writing, she put her pen on the table and turns her attention to the food on the table.

Rosalia: Well, I almost forget that we are currently following Jins movement!

Note: Im sorry about that. I feel bad for choosing a tailing plan without taking Rosalias enjoyment into account.

Rosalia: Its alright. This way is also fun too. It feels like a date.

Note: Astonishingly, I dont feel excited when you say it in that appearance.

At the moment, Rosalia is still wearing her weird disguise. I would like her to think about my feeling of having lunch together with such a weird personThe gazes that being thrown at us for a while feels painful. Is there anyone who becomes so conspicuous when they are following someone?

Note: Speaking of which, Rosalia, you often eat big steaks like that, huh. Just a moment ago, you also finished a big parfait.

Rosalia: Its not that often. Thats because I always have a spare room for dessert.

Note: Based on the order you eat, I think the steak has become the dessert that fills in the spare room, dont you think so?

Ignoring my riposte, Rosalia keeps stuffing her cheeks with the steaks.

Well, just let her be

Rosalia: So, what is Jin doing now?

Note: It looks like he is shopping for some weapon.

Rosalia: Alone?

Note: Yes. There are only the shop employee and Jin-san inside the shop

Rosalia: This is so boring, dont you think?

Note: Well, tailing needs patience, right? There might be something happens after this

Rosalia: Thats true, but

15:45 Shopping with Note-kun!

Note: Shopping?! We are not going shopping! Write more about our tailing affairs on the notes!

Rosalia: Tailing? What do you mean?

Note: She has completely erased it from her mind now

Rosalia: Huh!? Why am I looking weird like this!? What are these notes for?!

Note: I also want to know the reason

I cant keep up being a straight man anymore.

Someone please saves me

When I turn my attention to check on Jin with my Mapping skill and Search Enemy art, he seems to be in the middle of purchasing some goods in the store. He is inside a store that is famous to sell many kinds of tools for adventurers.

The one who takes care of food and equipment supply for the dungeon exploration in the Arrivers is Jin-san. Most likely, Jin-san is buying some supplies today for the dungeon exploration tomorrow. Beforehand, the guild told us that he was reporting that our party is going to the 18thfloor and filling up the papers as formalities. He might also have been looking for some small knives and other weapons to be used for fighting against the monsters in the weapon store earlier. Therefore, he is probably looking for food and exploration tools now.

Rosalia: Why are we doing something stupid like this?

Note: You are right, we are being foolish.

Tomorrow we are going for dungeon exploration again. Rather than following Jin, I should have helped him to prepare for our exploration. This party, for good and bad, is heavily dependent on Jin. I, Erin, Force, Neme, and even Rosalia are relying on him. In this party, except for Jin-san, no one bothers to do the administration and management tasks. Generally, its pretty rare to find a party where all the tasks are being left to one person like this. It is impossible to leave these tasks to Force, Erin, and Neme-san. Rosalia is also not trustworthy too. Even I also do not have the capacity to do those tasks. Jin must have suffered a lot being in a group with all these useless people. The Arrivers cannot run without Jin. Today has reaffirmed my feelings of gratitude towards Jin.

Note: Shall we go back?

Rosalia: We are going back now?

Note: Yeah. I dont think we should keep following him anymore.

Rosalia: I see

After hearing my words, Rosalia takes off her sunglasses, hat, and coat.

Rosalia: It was pretty hot. Finally, I can take these off.

Note: If that is the case, then you should not wear it since the beginning

Rosalia is truly a person who is good at destroying the mood.

Rosalia: I still feel really hot and Im about to collapse. Shall we find a place to rest?

When I take a closer look at her, I can see that her shirt has become transparent because of her sweats. Her blue underwear can be seen slightly. Somehow, she looks sexy

Rosalia: What about over there?

I look at where Rosalia points her finger at. Looking by appearance, it seems like a lavish hotel. However, when you really look at it, that hotel seems to be an indecent place.

Note: Shall we just go back...?

Rosalia: Note-kun you are so horribleeven though I have mustered my courage to invite youhuff

Note: Dont feign tears.

Rosalia: Eh? Do I get caught?

Note: What you are doing is meaningless, you know.

Rosalia innocently sticks out her tongue. If you look at her from the side, she looks like she is crying. I hope she stops her act.

Rosalia: Isnt it fine? Right now, there isn't any member of the party around. They wont find out.

Note: I think the problem is not that they will find out or not though

Rosalia: By the way, when I finally have a relationship with Note-kun, I will tell everyone directly, so it doesnt matter if they see us or not.

Note: That is dangerous! Your habit of crushing a party has just kicked in after a long time

Rosalia: I can even imagine Erins despair face now! Yup! Lets go! Quickly!

Note: No, I wont go

Rosalia is forcefully pulling my arm, and I frantically try to resist her. Her coat and sunglasses are taken off by our struggle. Many passersby in the surrounding area are watching the uproar from a distance. Whats with this situation
