An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being Chapter 126

Episode 126: Third wheel

 Friday, a little while after Amane launched an attack on me.

“You guys don't have to do anything in the E-rank dungeon. Until everyone else can go to the D-rank practical training, you can study on your own.”

“Eeh!? Is that okay?”

 If possible, I don't want to take the practical training, so while I am surprised by Saotome-senpai's words, I ask in a voice that contains joy.

“Yeah, I'm going to have a talk about this using the authority as the Dungeon Exploration Department Director, so there's no problem. Or rather, it would be a meaningless course for two people who are alread E-rank explorers and a B-rank explorer. Perhaps you will be exempted from the upcoming D-rank dungeon practical training once or twice. Judging from today's report, you guys seem to be able to clear the D-rank level. To be honest, I don't think the exam is necessary, but it's a rule, so you should take it.”

“It can't be helped.”

“Hmm.”

 I see.

“I'm already B-rank, so I don't care about this exam or anything else.”

“Is that so. Basically, the curriculum of this school is intended to raise up to D-rank. It will be a boring time for you who have exceeded that. As long as you participate in the minimum practical training and exams, there will be no problem, so just attend them.”

“Okay.”

 Saotome-senpai nods at Amane's words and continues talking.

 Does that mean that the minimum appearance is required for everything?

“Then, you're dismissed for today. You can go home.”

“Understood.”

 We leave the Dungeon Explorer Department's executive office.

“Haa … I never thought after becoming a B-rank that I'd be forced to do something rudimentary.”

“Then why did you enter this school? You didn't need to come.”

“N, no, that … I have circumstances.”

 When Amane complains, her eyes swim restlessly.

 This guy is suspicious, after all.

“What are they, those circumstances.”

“Th, that's a secret!! I can't reveal a maiden's secret, you know?”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

 When I question her further, she turns her face away and uses the convenient excuse of a maiden's secret, so I gave up on pursuing it.

 What the hell are you planning on doing?

“Well, now that there's nothing left to do, what are you guys going to do?”

“That's right, I don't have anything to do in particular, let's go to the dungeon.”

“Hmm.”

 We leave the Exploration Building.

 Amane asks about our future plans. Today's summons is over, and it looks like we'll be exempt for a while, so we'll go to the dungeon like before.

“Really? Well then, Fuhito-kun, can you take me with you?”

 When we try to go to the dungeon, Amane wants to come with us.

 I stare at Amane with a blatantly disgusted face.

 It's troublesome because I can't openly use Luck's power with this guy.(TN:Isn't Luck elsewhere at the moment?)

“I'm free, so it's fine. Besides, if I'm here, you can even enter an rank dungeon, you know?”

“If we go to an rank dungeon, we'll die.”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 Without paying attention to my gaze, Amane tries to proceed with the conversation.

“I'm honestly interested in rank dungeons, but I don't have suicidal thoughts.”

“Eeh … My attack didn't work, so I think you'll be absolutely fine.”

“That's because of my equpiment. Without that, I'm just an E-rank explorer.”

 Amane says in dissatisfaction. She seems to be muttering while remembering yesterday, but I shake my head in amazement.

“Well, that's fine. Then where are you going?”

“Well, it's a dungeon that matches our rank, a D-rank forest dungeon.”

“I understand, it's fine there, so take me with you.”

 Amane doesn't seem to want to give up.

“What should we do, Shia?”

“Don't join the party.”

 Since it can't be helped, I ask Shia, my boss, to make the decision. Me and Shia stare at Amane.

“Yes, yes, I understand. That's fine. I don't need experience points for small-fry monsters in D-rank dungeons.”

“Hmm. Then ok.”

 Shia nods satisfactorily to Amane who raises her hands in approval.

 Her ahoge is also jumping with satisfaction.

“It seems that the story has been decided, so let's go to the forest dungeon.”

“Hmm.” “Yes.”

 We go to the forest dungeon.

“Haa … the gazes still hurt.”

“Hmm?”

“Did you say something?”

“No, nothing.”

 We arrive at the dungeon. I'm being bathed in the gaze of the surroundings.

 This tmie I'm walking with Amane instead of my sister, but the jealous gaze is stronger than with Nanami. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Nanami is still young and Amane is not that different in age and appearance from me. Neither of them is my girlfriend, so forgive me, really.

“A D-rank dungeon is no longer a challenge for you guys, is it?”

“No, no, there are enemies in the forest dungeon that I couldn't defeat easily, you know? We can't let our guard down.”

 Amane is a B-rank explorer, but she starts saying things that make me feel she's underestimating them, so I object.

 I was stronger than them. They regenerate and don't disappear in one shot. It's true that a D-rank monster would be an easy win for the B-rank Amane, but we can't do that.

“Haa!? There's no way such a monster exists.”

“They were here. I think they were Bonus Monsters because I only met them once, and I couldn't meet them again.”

“Hee, that suddenly became interesting. I'll find that Bonus Monster.”

 Interested in my story, Amane rushes into the dungeon.

 Hey, it's a dungeon exploration for us, I don't want our prey stolen!!

“H, hey, wait a minute!!”

“Hmm!!”

 We chase Amane's back.
