Memorizing English Vocabulary with MEKAKUSHIDAN (High School Version) short story: Side Story 2

“Hey…. what’s that?”

When I followed Kido’s gaze, I saw a familiar red jacket walking down the sidewalk with a smartphone in one hand. His eyes are opened wide, his brow is covered in sweat, and he’s muttering something like it’s an incantation he’s chanting. He’s an unmistakably suspicious looking person. If we weren’t the ones to find him, it would have been strange if he didn’t get reported.

“Hey, Shintaro-kun! What are you doing?”

Speaking lightly, his pale face and tired body turns to me. “Ahh…. Kano….”

I’m just about to die looking at him.

When I peered into the screen, there was a familiar figure inside and a line of some nostalgic language I had a strong reaction against, although there had been a point in time when I was familiar with it.

“Eh, English?”

In an unexpected spectacle, a wild voice spontaneously calls out.

“Master! You’ve made it through one third of your quota at most, so please don’t look away, uh...., Cat Eyes-san and Leader-san! Hello.”

“Ene-chan, yahoo! What are you two doing?”

“Oh, you were listening to us!! As a matter of fact, Master is working on his rehabilitation into society program, while I’m in the middle of killing some time!!”

The girl inside the screen brags proudly.

“Ehh, oh really….”

He’s been turned into her plaything again, Shintaro-kun….

After seeing off those two, the reversed master and slave, we sped up a bit as we headed back to the hideout. It’s been unbearably hot these days. I want to hit the air conditioning quickly.

“It’s startling that the wave of globalization is closing in on a place like this….”

Kido pretended to be calm, but she said so with a voice that was more than a little shaky.
