An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being Chapter 78

Episode 078 The Satou family's son is fast with the ladies

 

“Oh, Satou-kun. Good morning. Where are you going today?”

 

 The Chairman ambushes me in front of the dormitory again today. It's really creepy and scary because I don't know what she is trying to do.

 

“Hiii!? The dungeon.”

 

“Is that so? Be careful.”

 

 When I lied because I was scared, a smile as if she was going to coil around me floated onto her face. To that snake-like smile, I'm even more scared.

 

“Y, yes, the Chairman too.”

 

 I immediately left school and moved to the station to eliminate my fears. Shia was already waiting in front of the station, and she was attracting attention from other people, and she was actually being called out, but she didn't take notice at all, the guy who tried to put his hands on her was replied to in kind, and got beat to a pulp with a 'Boko boko', there was already a mountain of defeated people nearby.

 

 It seems that no one is talking to her because of the mountain, but when I get closer, 'Cease your actions, it's impossible for a plain person like you', the onlookers have an expression like such.

 

“Did you wait?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 When I talk to Shia, she shakes her head. However, her outfit was a uniform, not plain clothes.

 

 Why is it a uniform when you are going to a place other than school?

 

“Why is it a uniform?”

 

“Only this.”

 

 How is it that her clothes are only uniforms?

 

“What do you do when you go out normally?”

 

“Armament or uniform.”

 

“I, I see.”

 

 Now that I think about it, Shia is obsessed with diving into the dungeon. She seems to have mostly gone to dungeons whenever she went out, and she wore a uniform when she had other errands.

 

 It's probably not a good idea to meddle in her clothing, if she thinks it's okay, that's fine.

 

“Then, let's get on the Shinkansen.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 When I take Shia with me and go inside the station, 'Why is it you!?' the specators had faces like such, but don't get me wrong, it's definitely not that kind of relationship with Shia.

 

 My parents' house is in the countryside in Touhoku. The countryside spreads around my parents' house, but it is not possible to worship the green or golden landscape unless the time of the season is right. If anything, cherry blossoms can still be seen around here.

 

 We completed the journey in about two hours, transfered trains from the nearest station where the Shinkansen stops, and then took another hour to reach the unmanned station near my parents' house.

 

“It's been a while.”

 

“Relaxing.”

 

 Both myself and Shia give our impressions.

 

 The characteristic air of the country that doesn't stagnate, a calm atmosphere greeted us. I feel nostalgic, Shia is not a person who moves in a rush, it seems that she could feel the leisurely flow of time from the scenery dominated by the magnificent nature.

 

“It's not too far from here, let's walk.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 It's a few kilometers from the nearest station to my house. It's not a big distance for us as explorers, and all our luggage is in Luck's shadow, so we're empty handed. Besides, I wanted to enjoy the countryside after coming home after a long absence.

 

“By the way, is it really alright?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

 I ask if she was alright with following me. But she doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying, and she tilts her head like a small animal.

 

“No, I think it's definitely better to dive into the dungeon alone without following me.”

 

“That's not the case. It's best to be with Fu-kun.”

 

 I apologize for telling her what I thought while looking at her face walking next to me, and she closed her eyes and shook her head in denial.

 

 I have no idea what part of me makes it worth it, but if she says so, I can't refuse.

 

“I'm glad Shia is okay with it, but if you want to go to the dungeon alone, please tell me.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 She nodded slightly at my words.

 

“Nothing here.”

 

“Right? There are only rice fields around here. To go to the dungeon, you have to go to the city.”

 

“But I like it.”

 

“Is that so? I'm glad you do.”

 

 Shia and I head for my parents' house while walking liesurely. Shia narrows her eyes and looks radiantly at the scenery that is only composed of rice fields.

 

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 When a breathtakingly beautiful girl like her is walking on an unobstructed country road, only the area she occupies is bright in the sunlight, and it is divine as if an angel is descending.

 

 Walking beside her, if she didn't have my weakness … If I had the same level, skill, and ability score as a normal explorer … feelings of 'what if' boil up.

 

 I think we could get along better, but she is cute enough I'm afraid to get into such a view.

 

 As I walk with Shia, I see the first villager walking in front of us. As we walked for a while, the figure gradually grew in size and I found that she was an obsan from a private house in the neighborhood with whom I was familiar.

 

“Yoshie-obasan huh.”

 

“Acquaintance?”

 

 Shia asks me when I mutter the obsan's name.

 

“I've been indebted to her for a long time.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 I answered, remembering the old days, and she nodded briefly.

 

 The obsan was on good terms with my mother and often came to my house to have tea. I remember that I often got sweets and played at that time.

 

“Ara? Aren't you Fuhito?”

 

“Ah, yes. Hello Obsan.”

 

 Yoshie-obasan notices me when we pass each other.

 

 Yoshie-obasan seems to have been in the Kantou region for a long time, and her accent is not a thick around here as it is at home.

 

“I heard you went to an urban school, but what happened?”

 

 Yoshie-obasan, who wondered why I was here, asks why.

 

 There is no particular reason to hide it, and it's okay to answer.

 

“I came home because it's Golden Week.”

 

“Ara ara, maa maa, I see.”

 

 She nods with 'Eun Eun' in response to my answer.

 

“Yes, my sister seemed lonely, and I didn't have any particular business.”

 

“You still love Nanami-chan. Who is that really cute lady?”

 

 Amazed at my reason for returning home, the obsan looks at Shia as soon as she notices her.

 

“Oh, she's Katsuragi Alexia. She's my classmate.”

 

“Hmm. Fu-kun takes good care of me.”

 

 When I introduce Shia, she replies a little longer than usual.

 

“Ara ara, maa maa maa!! Is that right!! Even though it's been less than a month since he went to a new school, Fuhito is quick with the ladies, and such a cute girl too, what a smooth operator!!”

 

“No, no, this girl and I aren't in a relationship.”

 

 It seems that she thought I had won over Shia based on how she interpreted my answer and Shia's reaction.

 

 Since she is also a woman, I wonder if she has a passion for love rumors, with curiousity in her eyes, she pokes my shoulders with her fingers.

 

 Why is it being misunderstood just by being with Shia? She is too cute and I wouldn't be a match, and I think it would trouble her to have such a misunderstanding.

 

“Yes, yes, this obsan knows!! Ufufu, I have to celebrate this by cooking red rice next time!!”

 

“That's why I'm saying, this girl “I have to tell everyone, Fuhito. Ah, I have to go now. We will celebrate next time!!””

 

“Obsaaaaaaan!!”

 

 I try to stop her, who is misunderstanding more and more, but she seems to have something to do and runs away in a hurry.

 

“Haa …”

 

 I can't correct the misunderstanding and sigh.

 

“Interesting person.”

 

“Hahahahaaa. I'm sorry? She left with a strange misunderstanding … Is it unpleasant?”

 

 After Yoshie-obasan left, Shia muttered. I apologize by scratching my head with a bitter smile, thinking that she was offended.

 

“Not at all.”

 

 She shook her head at my words. She doesn't look particularly mad. On the contrary, her ahoge was bouncing.

 

 Yoshie-obasan really was interesting.

 

“Well, then, should we go home quickly?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 I pulled myself together and started walking towards my house. A few days later, when rumors about me were spread all over the area, it became a mess.

 

 Later, I learned that rumors that 'The son of the Satou family is fast with the ladies' spread around here, but I didn't know it now.
