This response ("Elementary!") was often used by the famous character Sherlock Holmes. So, if you say it, most people will think you are making a joke. It's not commonly used by most people.

@tthrelfo Yes! I took the word from the Sherlock Holmes line! OK. Thank you for your answer!

Natürlich
As a humorous reference to Conan Doyle I would say this is natural.
We don't say this all the time but it's not unnatural.

Unnatürlich
In general speech, unnatural. As said before, if making reference to Sherlock Holmes, acceptable. Out of context it would sound strange to me.
It is a little like using "Simples" as a reply. It is grammatically incorrect, but there is a meerkat character on UK TV adverts that says this. So, using it would be understood as being a reference to this and would sound quite cute.

Thank you for introducing the interesting word, Martyn! I appreciate it! :)

Unnatürlich
@misokatsu No problems. Do remember that "Simples" is not really a proper word. "Simple" is the correct way to say it. Most British English speakers would understand if they heard you say "Simples", but some may be tempted to correct you because they may not appreciate that you have had this explained to you. :)

Thank you for your concern too, Martyn! :)

Etwas unnatürlich
Fun fact: Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson" in any of the Conan Doyle books - it was a later addition by other writers, yet it's somehow become permanently attached to him. Ditto for the deerstalker hat.

Thank you for your comment, Belthazar! That's interesting! I didn't know about his hat either! :D
