The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 106. No Nampa Allowed

106. No Nampa Allowed

(Note:”Nampa” is a Japanese term that refers to the act of picking up or flirting with someone in public places, typically with the intention of starting a romantic or sexual relationship. It’s similar to the concept of “pickup” or “flirting” in English.)

“Oh, that’s far enough,” I cut in between Miss Isezaki and the flashy guy. The flashy guy tossed away his cigarette and raised an irritated voice.

“Huh? What’s with the old man?”

One of the taller flashy guys with red hair loomed over me, trying to intimidate. Well, I’m not about to be scared off by that. If they really wanted to intimidate me, they’d need to bring something like an Earth Dragon.

“I’m their guardian. Sorry, but if you’re looking to pick up girls, try somewhere else, okay?”

“Oh, the old man’s their guardian? In that case, we’ll be the ones to look after these girls in his place! So, old man, you can go home first! Look, the exit’s over there! Gyahaha!”

The red-haired flashy guy, pointing behind himself while laughing uproariously, and the other flashy guys laughing along, thinking it’s all so funny. But then, Miss Isezaki let out a sigh and stared coldly at the red-haired flashy guy.

“Hmm… You’re going to take over for the gentleman? There’s no way you’re up to that task. Please understand your place. Besides, I just declined your offer of escort. If you possess the intelligence to comprehend my words, kindly leave us promptly.”

Miss Isezaki is usually calm, but when it comes to things like this, she’s very decisive. It was the same when she was confessed to by a handsome guy before. Well, if there’s no interest, it’s better to reject clearly rather than leaving it vague for the other person’s sake.

But sometimes, reason doesn’t work in human relationships. After Miss Isezaki announced her second rejection, the red-haired flashy guy’s face contorted with rage.

Oops, this is really getting out of hand. People passing by are starting to notice the trouble.

Is there any way to settle this peacefully right now? I can’t just drop them from the sky like I did with the Earth Dragon…

Just as I was thinking that, something red and glowing caught my eye at the edge of my vision. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the cigarette that the red-haired flashy guy had just thrown away.

Not only did he litter, but the cigarette was still burning brightly, very bad manners… Alright, let’s try using this.

I opened a small pocket dimension in the ground and stored the cigarette in my ‘Storage Space.’ Since the hot water stays hot when stored in the ‘Storage Space,’ the lit cigarette maintains its fiery state.

Next, I opened a small pocket dimension near the red-haired flashy guy’s ear. The lit cigarette naturally fell out and lightly touched the red-haired flashy guy’s ear.

“Ouch! What the hell!?”

Startled by the sudden heat, the red-haired flashy guy screamed. Before it could hit the ground, I retrieved the cigarette into my ‘Storage Space’ and grabbed the arm of the red-haired flashy guy, who was holding his ear.

“Don’t move.”

“What the hell are you doing—eh!?”

The expression on the red-haired flashy guy’s face changed to shock as he tried to shake off my arm. But he couldn’t shake off the hand of an old man holding him lightly.

The reason for that is very simple.

I’m making it look like I’m grabbing his arm with my hand, but actually, I’m deploying several small invisible barriers in the air, concealing them in the palm of my hand, to immobilize his arm. The flashy guy keeps trying to forcefully shake off his arm, but of course, his arm won’t budge. It’s something even an Earth Dragon couldn’t move.

As the flashy guy’s face begins to show signs of panic, I whisper in his ear.

“Leave now. The individuals you are dealing with here are high-profile figures from a certain country traveling incognito. You are already surrounded by our security personnel.”

“What!? What do you—”

The flashy guy looks around nervously. It’s all just a bluff, of course. There’s no actual security surrounding them.

“Even now, security drones are targeting you. We have no intention of causing further disturbance. Or… perhaps the earlier warning wasn’t enough?”

Saying this, I lightly trace his earlobe with my finger.

Naturally, there are no security drones. Do such things even exist?

But the red-haired flashy guy seems to have sensed something from my words. He nods vigorously while pressing his ear, then raises his voice to the other flashy guys around him.

“Hey, guys! This ain’t the right place after all! Let’s go somewhere else!”

“Huh? What’s up, A-chan? What about these girls?”

“Quit it, let’s go! Move it!”

“Ugh, fine.”

“Just like him to change his mind.”

“Seriously.”

“See ya!”

“Sorry about that!”

Grumbling, the flashy guys follow the red-haired flashy guy with sluggish steps. It seems he was the leader of the flashy guys. Quite the leadership skills.

In no time, the flashy guys disappear into the crowd. It seems the unnecessary trouble has been avoided.

I must admit, talking about SP and security drones was pretty ridiculous, but somehow it worked out. Maybe it was the firm attitude of Miss Isezaki or the realistic portrayal of Lady Levia, who clearly isn’t used to the world.

If only I had played the role of a seasoned SP more convincingly, I could have escorted them out more quickly. What a shame.

“Sigh…”

As I let out a sigh of regret, the women approach me.

“Indeed, you’re amazing, sir! Dealing with those types is a piece of cake for you!”

“Although we didn’t understand your words, we could tell you were protecting us. Thank you, Mr. Matsunaga.”

With a bright smile and bouncing around, Miss Isezaki expresses her gratitude, while Lady Levia bows her head quietly.

“Yes, it seems everything worked out. But we’re attracting some attention… Shall we step into a shop for a moment?”

The tense atmosphere on the street has dissipated, but there are still a few onlookers. It’s best not to linger here any longer.

And right in front of us is the usual shopping mall I occasionally use. We quickly enter, avoiding the gaze of others.
