Asougi: Well then, let us look back over your adventure once more.
Naruhodo: Umm... Sorry about forgetting you, even though you're my best friend.
But my memory is still... pretty hazy.
Asougi: We have no choice but to retrieve everything that you've lost.
Leave it to me. You can trust me on this.
Naruhodo: Asougi...! (You're such a dependable guy...)
~ Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band ~
[Naruhodo wakes up feeling groggy and confused, and when he comes to, he realizes he's in handcuffs.]
Asougi: You never seem to learn, do you.
Naruhodo: Forget that! I'm just a simple guy from a humble island country!
Why am I on board a ship heading off to England!?
Asougi: I brought you along. We could study the laws of their country together.
Though, since you didn't quite qualify for the transfer program, you had to become a "stowaway".
Naruhodo: "Stowaway"...
Asougi: To keep you hidden, I even feigned ignorance.
I stuffed you in my luggage and shut you into my closet.
Naruhodo: ...And thus, I became stuck at a murder scene.
Asougi: You're the kind of man who matched quite well your "hideout".
Hahahahaha!!
Naruhodo: (Yeah, and it's mainly thanks to you...)
Asougi: And so, aboard that ship, you had fateful encounters with two others.
First was the world-renowned Great Detective, Sherlock Holmes.
You worked with this man to deduce the truth behind this incident.
Naruhodo: (I'm not sure why...)
(But I feel like it's better that I don't remember this guy.)
Asougi: And there is one other...
???: You mean me, correct?
Naruhodo: (Wah... Someone else I don't know showed up...)
Asougi: She is the most dependable person you can rely on from here.
Surely, you haven't forgotten the "impact" of your first encounter, have you?
Susato: P-please don't bring it up again, Kazuma-sama! It's a long story...
Naruhodo: That sure is... quite the "impact".
...In more ways than one.
Susato: ...I said it was a long story.
Naruhodo: ...Huh? Where's Asougi?
Susato: He left the rest of your adventure to me and departed.
And he left this to you.
Naruhodo: "Karuma"...
Is it really okay that I take this?
Susato: He expressly entrusted it to you in particular.
Naruhodo: (My best friend, Asougi Kazuma... a man who burns bright like a flame.)
Susato: Well then, shall we be off?
Next up in Episode 3, our adventure takes us to the Great British Empire!
Naruhodo: ...Uh, yeah...
...
Susato: Um, is something the matter?
Naruhodo: (Umm...)
(Once again, I'm afraid to ask this, but...)
Who are you again?
Susato: ...That's a bit too much...
Naruhodo: W-wait! It's because my memory is...!
Susato: Tooooooaahh!!
Naruhodo: So, this is what happens...
To be continued.
