An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 122
Episode 122: The burunburun of the barunbarun(TN:So descriptive, right?)
“Well then, my best regards.”
The Vice-Director, Kisaragi-senpai, entered the dungeon with us as the leader.
She seems to be a wizard-type explorer, wearing a robe over her school uniform and a witch hat.
“You too, my best regards.”
“Hmm.”
“Senpai, I’m in your care.”
I’m still in my usual jersey. However, it’s a drop item jersey and protector that I got in the stray dungeon. Shia is wearing the princess knight style set she got in the dungeon.
Amane wears a red Chinese dress-style combat uniform with spats, gloves on her hands, and knee-high socks and boots on her feet. Her hair was in a ponytail as usual, but she made a chignon and covered it with a chignon cover.(TN:Chignon is a hairstyle where you wrap a ponytail in a sort of bun to keep it out of the way.)
She seems to be the type of explorer who fights with bare hands, just like me.
“Anyway … is Satou-kun okay with that equipment?”
“Th, this jersey is a drop item, so it’s probably okay.”
“Understood.”
Kisaragi-senpai asked me a question that seemed difficult to hear, and I replied with a wry smile.
Even though everyone else’s equipment has the impression of being a fantasy, I’m the only one with a sense of reality that’s full of excitement.
“Well then, this time it will be basically Katsuragi-san and Shimotsuki-san’s training, but Satou-kun will be in the same party, so please work together to achieve this goal.”
“”Yes.””
“Then please start.”
“Hmm.”
We readied ourselves and set out to explore the dungeon.
“I’ll take the lead!!”
“Okay?”
“I’m the most agile amongst us, so if something happens, it’s easy to deal with.”
“Hmm.”
Amane is in the front, I am in the middle, and Shia is in the back.
This party is completely physical and doesn’t have a magician, but I wonder if it’s okay from now on.
I’m a little worried about the future that’s ahead of us.
“Gummic.”
“Hmm.”
While Shia is mapping, we proceed through the dungeon and encounter a Gummic. It’s been about a month, but it makes me feel nostalgic.
“Who will beat it?”
“Anyone’s ok.”
“It’s really excessive force, isn’t it? Isn’t it better to defeat them in order for the time being?”
“Hmm.”
We take turns defeating them.
This time it’s Amane’s turn.
“Haa.”
-Dosuuu
She runs lightly and hits the Gummic.
I see. It’s interesting because I’ve never seen a type that fights with bare hands other than myself.
The Gummic that was hit had a hole and the hand went through. And soon the Gummic disappeared, leaving only a magic stone about the size of her pinky finger.
It already made me feel nostalgic.
“As expected, it’s not a challenge …”
“It can’t be helped.”
After all, for Amane, who is already a B-rank, the enemy in the F-rank dungeon is a small-fry.
“Let’s just move on and finish it.”
“Hmm.”
“Alright.”
After picking up the magic stone, we move forward at a light jogging pace, defeating the Gummics that appear one by one.
-Paaan!!
When I hit the Gummic like usual, the moment I hit, it burst and the magic stone fell into my hand.
“Eeh!?”
“Haa!?”
I heard voices behind me, so when I turned around, I saw Amane and Kisaragi-senpai looking surprised.
“What’s wrong?”
“No … what did you just do …”
When I tilt my head at Amane as a representative, she asks me about my current actions with a solemn expression.
“I just approached and hit it normally?”
“Eh, ah, I see. I understand.”
I don’t think I’m doing anything particularly strange, but Amane’s reply is not clear.
“I wonder what’s wrong with that Amane person?”
“Don’t know.”
I called out to Shia, but she didn’t quite understand either and only shook her head.(TN:You broke her sense of normal already …)
After that, we immediately finished exploring the 1st floor, advanced to the 2nd floor, proceeded steadily, and reached the final 5th floor in a couple of hours.
“Amane-san is already B-rank and has been trained considerably including physical ability, but the two of you are only E-rank, yet you are quite well trained.”
Kisaragi-senpai, who was watching us from behind, called out to us.
“Because I dive into the dungeon almost every day. Something like this is nothing.”
“Hmm.”
“Isn’t this an easy win.”
“Is that so.”
When we appeal that we are fine, Kisaragi-senpai smiles while looking at us in admiration.
Even with this, I’ve raised my proficiency enough to conquer a D-rank dungeon. If it’s the me of now, an F-rank dungeon isn’t a match for me.
We proceed without incident and step into the boss room.
“It’s a Big Gummic.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
Big Gummic was there. It is the Boss of the F-rank dungeon.
“Who will do it?”
“Amane is fine.”
“I will refrain. I’ll let the boy here do it.”
“Hmm.”
“Yes, yes.”
Shia asks Amane, but when she is nominated, she refuses and pushes it to me. Shia nods as well, so I walk towards the Big Gummic.
-Zuuun
When I got close enough, the Big Gummic rammed me, but it didn’t hurt or even itch, so I hit it.
-Paaaan
As usual, it explodes and drops Heal Gummy and an E-rank magic stone.
“Ouch!!”
When I crouch down to pick up the item, I feel something hit the back of my head, and even though it didn’t hurt, I cry out reflexively.
When I look back and wonder what it was,
-Paaaan
Her clothes burst, revealing her natural appearance, and there stands Amane, stunned. Her plump motherhood is swaying with a ‘barunbarun’, and her bottom is completely exposed, so I have trouble finding a place to look.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
And in the next moment, she holds her hands and crouches down.
She can’t hide a lot of things because she can’t understand that she’s naked because of the pain in her hands.(TN:This is why it was a female instructor guiding them I guess.)
“Shia. For the time being, let her wear something and heal her with a potion.”
“Hmm.”
I turn my back and issue instructions to Shia while standing still.
Well, I just saw something amazing …
That ‘barunbarun’ was incredible …
It was because her clothes were ‘burunburun’ and she was in a state of disarray …
Shia comes over to me while I’m remembering the scene that is stuck in my mind.
“What happened?”
“Hmm. She hit you.”
“Why did Amane do that?”
“Don’t know.”
When I ask Shia about it, the reason was unknown, but apparently she had hit me from behind.
There is one thing that worries me.
“Why am I still alive?”
“Strong. Of course.”
She says so and points her finger at my chest.
The place was the logo of the jersey that I don’t know the manufacturer.
Is it the jersey!? This jersey saved my life!! Thank you supremely rare jersey!! I’m sorry I thought you were useless!!
I thank the Jersey in my heart.
“I see. Is that so?”
“Hmm.”(TN:Not the jersey you dumbass …)
Shia nods in agreement with me who nods.
