An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 125

Episode 125: Nanami-chan’s Close Call (Third Person Perspective)

“Uuh … this place? …”

Nanami wakes up, gets up and looks around to grasp the situation. Broken tools and equipment are scattered about.

“I am …”

What Nanami remembers is that she suddenly lost consciousness on the way home from school with Yui.

“Ah! What is going on!?”

Nanami, who has become more aware, looks around restlessly again.

Finding the Yui she was looking for and trying to move, she grasped her situation. She had strong shackles on her feet and hands. And at the same time she understood that they had been abducted by someone.

She has a certain degree of freedom, but it seems that it is impossible to run because she is chained to the extent that it is difficult to move her body.

“Huh? What is this!!”

She tried to pull it as hard as she could, but it didn’t break even with the power of Nanami, the explorer. Nanami realizes that her situation is worse than she thought.

Due to the situation she was forced into, Nanami couldn’t think of the possibility of changing her equipment with the Change Ring or using magic to break the shackles. She also completely forgot she was an explorer, since she never actually fought.

“Anyway, I have to go to where Yui is …”

With the shackles still on, Nanami walks towards the lying Yui and kneels.

“Yui!! … Yui!!”

Thinking that the humans who kidnapped them might be nearby, Nanami shook Yui’s shoulders with a low voice, but in a desperate voice.

“Nn … Nnnn …”

Yui’s consciousness gradually awakens.

“Hmm … that … what is it?”

“Yeah, it’s Nana.”

Yui barely recognizes Nanami while rubbing her sleepy eyes, and Nanami replies with a serious look on her face.

“What’s wrong? Why are you in my house?”

“Don’t be half-asleep, listen carefully. It looks like we’ve been abducted.”

Yui sits up and tilts her head, but Nanami puts her hands on her shoulders, stares her in the eyes, and slowly tells her the truth.

“Eeh … Upu.”

Nanami hurriedly covers Yui’s mouth when she is about to scream, and succeeded in stopping her in the nick of time.

“Shh ~ !! Be quiet!!”

“I, I’m sorry. Nanami said something out of the ordinary …”

Nanami raises her index finger to warn Yui, and she scratches her head, smiles wryly, and lowers her head.

“What’s the last thing you remember?”

“I think we were on our way home from school … Huh? I don’t remember halfway through.”

In response to Nanami’s question, Yui folds her arms and turns her gaze to the upper left, groaning and thinking, and realizes that her memory has been cut off.

“That’s right. We were kidnapped on the way home from school and brought here.”

“I see.”

She nods at Nanami, who explained while pointing to the situation around them.

“What are we going to do? Run away?”

“If we don’t know how many opponents there are and how much strength they have, we can’t go out. We’ll probably get caught as soon as we go out.”

Running away without analyzing the opponent’s strength is the pinnacle of stupidity.

The problem was that if they jumped out without knowing anything, they would be caught immediately.

If there is no way to find out information about the opponent, they can’t move as it is now. Not much can be done in such a situation.

“I see. Then what should we do?”

“We can’t do anything right now. I wish I could find out the other people’s situation. But I’m like this.”

Nanami showed her hands and feet with a slightly resigned look when Yui asked for a way out of the situation where she couldn’t do anything.

“Wh, what is that!?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, I can’t break these right now, and as long as I have these, I can’t run or move as fast as I want, so it’s difficult to escape.”

“Certainly.”

Nanami smiles wryle at the surprised Yui. Silence descends between the two.

“Aah!! Wait a minute!!”

Nanami rummaged through her pocket as though she had an idea, and found her mobile phone.

“I’ll call my Onii-chan with this. He’ll do something about it.”

When in trouble, ask Onii-chan.

Nanami thought that if she called her brother, whom she trusted completely, everything would be resolved.

“As expected, it’s out of range?”

“Onii-chan won’t be late for my pinch, so it’s okay.”

“Y, yeah.”

Nanami taps the screen of her mobile phone, stunning Yui with her trust in her brother when she gives a very justifiable reason.

“Aah.”

However, there are out-of-range characters there. It was the moment she lost contact with her brother.

“He can’t help because I can’t contact him.”

“Is that right …”

As the atmosphere between the two of them became indescribable, Nanami gently returns the phone to her pocket.

“Oh. Are you awake?”

However, the devil comes while the two are dawdling. A middle-aged man with a villainous face came into the room. Behind him stood a tall man of the so-called good-looking type with a vicious smile on his face.

“You kidnapped us!!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Nanami lashes out at the suspicious man, but the man smiles reluctantly and answers without being nasty.

“Do you know what will happen if you do this!?”

“What will happen?”

“The Union and the police will catch you and you won’t come out for the rest of your life!!”

“Hahaha. That’s fine. I want them to catch me!! I wish they could!!”

Nanami says something to threaten the man, but it has no effect on the man.

The man let out a hearty laugh.

“Kukuku. Surely she’s a cute girl that I like, isn’t she?”

“Hiii.”

The middle-aged man with a villain’s face stares at Nanami with a gaze that seems like he’s licking her whole body, and a chill runs through Nanami’s body, giving her goosebumps all over her body.

“That’s nice. That kind of fear-stained face. It’s my favorite thing to dye that kind of face with pleasure.”

The man approached Nanami while grinning.

“Don’t get close to Nana!!”

“Don’t get in the way!!”

“Kyaa!!”

Yui tries to stand in front of the frightened Nanami, but he swings his arm and knocks her away. When she is sent flying, she hits the wall with a bang, and then collapses and faints.

“Yui!!”

Nanami could only watch as Yui flew away.

“Kukuku. What happened to your momentum just now?”

“No, don’t come, don’t come …”

However, the man won’t wait. The middle-aged man with a villainous face slowly approaches.

Nanami sinks to the floor and backs away.

-Tooon

However, after a few seconds, Nanami hears a sound and feels despair on her back.

“Kukuku. You can’t escape anymore, can you?”

“No, nooo …”

The man slowly approaches to let him enjoy her fear. Nanami shakes her head in tears.

One step. Another step. The distance between Nanami and the man became closer, and finally the distance between the two was within the man’s reach.

“I caaaught youuuu!!”

“No!! Let go!! Let go!!”

Without worrying about the rampaging Nanami, the man grabbed both of her thin arms with one hand and lifted her so that his face and Nanami’s face were at the same height.

“No one will come here. Give it up, kukuku.”

“No, nooo!! Onii-chan, Onii-chaaaaaaan!!”

Nanami cries even louder at the man who brought his face closer than a few dozen centimeters and gave her a disgusting smile.

“Shut up!!”

“Kyaaaaaaa!!”

Annoyed by Nanami’s loud voice, the man stretches her cheeks as hard as he can. Nanami’s cheeks turn bright red, giving Nanami a pain that resounded with a tingling sensation.

“No, nooo …”

“If you quietly obey, I won’t do anything bad, okay?”

The man puts his face close to Nanami’s ear and whispers. The man then took his face away from Nanami and tries to put his hand on Nanami’s clothes.

“Help me … Onii-chan …”

Nanami murmurs softly as a last resistance.

“Huh?”

At that moment, multiple black shadows jump out of Nanami’s shadow, attack the man, separate him from Nanami, and blow him away.

– Don Don Don Don Don

The man is blown away and hits the wall, then breaks through the wall and flies away. One of the shadows runs after the man.

“Wh, what is that!? That guy!?”

Another shadow attacks the other man who is confused by the incomprehensible situation.

The shadows hold Nanami from falling once she left the hands of the middle-aged man, and the remaining shadows left the room to find the remnants of the thugs.

“Onii-chan  …?”

“Won.”

“As expected …”

Nanami, who heard the dog’s voice, was relieved and lost consciousness.
