Hasu-san the Great Detective (
Summary[]
While busy daydreaming of his girlfriends, Rentarou is caught at the scene of a crime...!
One day, in cloudy weather, a girl nearby asks Rentarou and Mentarou if one of them has picked up her panties that she dropped a few minutes ago. Mentarou asks the girl if she would like to borrow his pants, but she refuses, revealing they were wool panties she wears over her actual underwear for warmth. But Mentarou's consideration makes her believe he couldn't have been the suspect, which Rentarou realizes makes him the prime.
A girl named Hasuha Hasu then appears behind the three as she calls herself a great detective, and when she locks eyes with Rentarou, they feel a shock, signifying Hasuha as one of Rentarou's soulmates. Hasuha gets snapped out of her thoughts by the girl as she asks the two boys for their names, commenting on how similar they sound (though Rentarou chalks it up to the author's wacky naming convention). Hasuha gets close to Mentarou and sniffs him, asking if he was just in the cafeteria recently before entering the library, which Mentarou confirms, impressing Rentarou. Hasuha sniffs the girl and after detecting sweat and diet protein from her, she deduces she is currently on a diet to lose weight, which the girl admits, but she has lost so much weight that her panties keep slipping off. Hasuha goes down the hallway the girl walked through and gets on the ground to smell the spot where her panties fell, and at this point, Rentarou realizes Hasuha is using nothing but smells, making her less of a detective and more like a police dog.
Hasuha starts sniffing Rentarou and detects a "feminine" scent coming off of Rentarou; thirty-one distinct smells, to be precise. The girl thinks Rentarou is a serial panty hunter, but Rentarou quickly denies this, saying the scent is coming from all thirty-one of his girlfriends, but that just makes them think he's definitely the type who snatches up panties off the ground. Hasuha refutes this, reasoning that he would ask his girlfriends for their panties if he so wanted to, but Rentarou yells he would rather look for random panties on the ground rather than do something deplorable to his girls, but this just makes him seem even more suspicious.
Hasuha gets even closer to Rentarou and soon becomes tipsy on his scent, as she possesses a smell fetish. Rentarou eventually snaps her out of it, and after she calms down, she declares that the culprit is indeed Mentarou, as she sniffs the scent of the girl's panties on him but nowhere on Rentarou. Mentarou freaks out over being exposed as the girl asks him to turn out his pockets, while Rentarou thanks Hasuha for finding the culprit, but she says that exposing the truth and rescuing the innocent is just a part of a detective's job. Mentarou then starts running for it and tries to push Hasuha out of the way, only for Rentarou to catch her. An Baba then chases after Mentarou for running in the hall and starts sloppily kissing him, and the narration reveals that whenever Mentarou thinks about panties from this point forward, this image would replay in his mind, and therefore makes him stop stealing girls' panties.
Rentarou asks Hasuha if she is okay, but once again, she becomes entrenched in his scent to the point that she won't exhale. She tells Rentarou she's madly in love with him regardless of how many other girlfriends he has, and he can fool around with her whenever he pleases. Rentarou, however, pushes her off himself and clarifies that he never fools around with love, and if they start dating, he'll make her the happiest girl in the world, much to her delight. To Rentarou's dismay, though, Hasuha then asks for him to stick his armpit out so she can smell it, and he says they need to get a grip on her wildest fantasies.
