An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being Chapter 149

Episode 149: Relaxation and accumulating threats

 

“We beat a lot today too.”

 

“Yeah!! My level has gone up a lot!!”

 

“That's good.”

 

 We leveled up in the Shushima Dungeon again today and hunted monsters all day long. Nanami happily reports to me, so I stroke her head with her twintails shaking.

 Since the emergency situation, we've been earnestly raising our levels every day to prepare for a Stampede in a nearby dungeon. Thanks to that, my proficiency has increased considerably. Hitting and Kicking evolved, and perhaps because the number and amount of people I've talked to has increased, Conversation also went up to the evolution right away.

 

 Currently, no Stampede has occurred in this area except for the forest dungeon that triggered a Stampede recently. However, it seems that a Dungeon Rebirth has occurred in the forest dungeon and is currently being investigated.

 

 The forest dungeon is far away, so I don't really care about it now that I'm diving into the Shushima Dungeon.

 

“Hey, aren't we going home?”

 

“Ah, yeah, I'm going home.”

 

“Yup, yeah, I'm going home too.”

 

 When I call out to Amane and Rei, who were looking into the distance while talking to each other, the two of them hurriedly leave the park and go home.

 

“Shia, how is Nanami doing?”

 

“Hmm. Nanamin can fight alone.”

 

“Hooraaaaaay!!”

 

 We also start walking on the way home and start chatting.

 

 I see. In other words, does that mean that Nanami has gained enough power to compete with multiple D-rank monsters?

 

 Recently, I've finally obtained enough power to defeat a C-rank, but I'm afraid that she'll catch up to me in no time.

 

 I would like to keep my dignity as a brother until the last minute by working hard to raise my skill level.

 

“What should we do? Now we can dive into a C-rank dungeon.”

 

“It's more efficient here.”

 

“I, I see. In that case, we'll continue leveling up here.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 Since it's an emergency right now, there are no entry restrictions based on rank, so you can dive into any dungeon.

 

 That's why I suggest diving into a C-rank or higher dungeon, but according to Shia, Shushima's D-rank Bonus Monsters are more efficient.

 

 Since I don't have a level, I can't understand, so I decide to convince myself that if Shia says it's like that, it must be like that.

 

“Hmm, but I'm getting a little tired of here.”

 

 When it was decided to continue leveling up in Shushima, Nanami murmurs.

 

“Well, it's not like I don't understand that feeling.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 Shia and I agree with Nanami's words.

 

 Since I've been diving here for about two weeks and leveling up, I'm getting tired of seeing all the same monsters.

 

 There is the way of going deeper, but it's also scary to dive deeper and meet an unknown evil monster.

 

 As a result, we fought on the first few floors and the monsters don't look any different, so we are getting into a rut.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 

 A Stampede hasn't even happened yet. Surely it must be about time.

 

“Then, why don't we take a few days off from leveling up and go somewhere for a change of pace?”

 

“Ah. That's good! I've only been raising my level recently.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 However, where to go.

 

 I remember that I have ESJ VIP membership cards. If I remember correctly, there should be a spa resort of an ESJ-afiliated company in this area as well.

 

“Come to think of it, there was an ESJ-related spa resort here too, right?”

 

“Certainly. Maybe.”

 

“Then why don't we go relax there for a while?”

 

“Agreed!! I want to get beaty treatment soon!!”

 

“Hmm. Can't wait.”

 

 Nanami and Shia nod happily at my suggestion.

 

 They both seem to agree.

 

“Well then, it's a plan. I wonder if Amane and Rei would be happy if I give them a card.”

 

“I'm sure they'll be happy!! That's a total joke, isn't it, Onii-chan!!”

 

 When I try to give the cards to the two of them, Nanami says something in a completely unexpected direction and gets angry.

 

“No, I didn't mean it like that …”

 

“Even if Onii-chan doesn't mean it like that!! Normally you can't get that kind of thing!! If a girl gets that kind of thing, she'll fall in love in an instant!!”

 

 I am perplexed by Nanami's anger, but when Nanami tells me, it's true that there are only six VIP cards, and only three remain. Moreover, if the card can be used for free at all ESJ-related facilities, the person who receives the card would certainly be humbled and overjoyed.

 

 I think it's even more so if they like the works that appear at ESJ.

 

“I have no one to give them to. I just thought it woudl be perfect because they went to the trouble of becoming a party member.”

 

“Just for such a reason, it's not normally possible to give someone such a rare and amazing card!!”

 

 As far as I'm concerned, I just can't think of anyone other than them.

 

 However, according to Nanami, there aren't many people who can do that.

 

 I think it's useless to just hold on to things I have no use for, forever.

 

“Is that so …”

 

“That's exactly how Onii-chan will increase the number of new women. Stop, it's enough already.”

 

 Nanami, who is walking next to me, looks away and murmurs in amazement while trembling.

 

“No, no, I don't have that kind of relationship with everyone, right?”

 

 As expected, I will refute that.

 

 I ended up kissing Shia by chance, but that was like an accident. But I think it can't be helped that I've been conscious of Shia since then.

 

 Such an event had never happened before, let alone a kiss with an outrageously beautiful girl, it's no wonder I'm conscious of her.

 

 Shia doesn't seem to mind at all though. I missed the timing and haven't heard the meaning of her words of that time since then.

 

 “Our Mother said it too. That's what usually happens when you're in the same party.”

 

“I wonder if that will happen.”

 

 Nanami says so, but I can't see a future where things are so great.

 

“Yes, I guarantee it.”

 

“It would be a problem even if it's guaranteed, but …”

 

 Even if it's guaranteed by Nanami, I have nothing but confusion.

 

“For the time being, we're going to rest for a while and relax at the spa resort. Is that okay?”

 

“Yeah, let's do it!!”

 

“Hmm!!”

 

 I end the conversation with a summary, and Nanami and Shia nod their heads in agreement with me.

 

 

 A world of pitch darkness.

 

 There is no air in the deep sea, where a normal human would have been crushed to death.

 

 In that world, which was originally devoid of light, two copious amounts of red light are crowded together.

 

 It even looks like a bomb on the verge of exploding.

 

[ Gugyaa. ]

 

 A single voice was the trigger, and the bomb begins to move in a directional manner.
