An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 129

Episode 129: Amane and flirting

“You guys also had Space Expansion Bags, didn’t you?”

“I guess.”

“Hmm.”

We take out various things from the Space Expansion Bags to start preparing for the camp.

“Wa, wa, wa, wa, wait, wait a minute!!”

“What is it.”

When we were taking out our usual tools, for some reason Amane stops us. Shia and I don’t understand Amane’s meaning.

What do you want to do when we’re preparing for DunCamp?

“What is with the performance of that bag? Where on earth did you get it!!”

Amane asks us like it’s a three-step application.(TN:Dunno.)

What? Do you happen to want it?

“Aah. When I went back to my parents’ house before, I happened to find a stray dungeon. There were only 10 floors, so it was probably a D-rank dungeon. But it was a disappointment. The stray dungeon there should be under investigation by the Union staff right now.”

“Huh!?”

At my words, Amane shouts with a startled expression.

As I thought, she really wants it. Well, if you wait until the investigation is over, you can go get one. I don’t know how long it will take for the treasure chests to respawn, but it will eventually respawn. Certainly, treasure chests in low-rank dungeons should respawn quickly.

Amane is a B-rank, so I wonder if she can get it sooner than expected.

“And this is a dungeon camp tool. It’s packed with comfortable tools for sleeping in the dungeon.”

I ignore Amane’s surprise and answer the last question.

Don’t you know [DunCamp△]? Common sense, right? Camping in a dungeon is fun, right?

“I’m not asking about that!!”

“Then what …”

To Amane who is furious and approaches me, I answer with annoyance.

“There’s no way a D-rank dungeon drop would have such ridiculous performance.”

“It can’t be helped since it came out, right? See?”

“Hmm. It was ten-floor dungeon.”

“See?”

“That’s ridiculous …”

Even if Amane tries to deny it, it is true that it came out of a treasure chest in a D-rank dungeon. It’s an unshakable truth.

Shia also agrees with me.

A two-to-one majority should give a clear winner.

Amane is dumbfounded by that fact.

“We are pretty lucky. That’s how we had it drop. This Jersey also has such good performance that B-rank attacks are not effective.”

“Suddenly it’s hard to believe …”

I’m pretty lucky when it comes to things other than aptitude and equipment. I’m lucky enough to have gotten billions in assets with Bonus magic stones. I was able to get a convenient subordinate monster like Luck, and I think I have a really dangerous amount.

Well, if you look at it from someone else’s point of view, it might be unbelievable luck.

“Because we saw it happen before our eyes. We only believe what we see with our own eyes.”

“There is no evidence to refute it. It’s just that it’s never happened before.”

“Right? You don’t have to believe me.”

“Haa … It’s useless to say anything. Well, I’ll accept it.”

Amane shows some acceptance as if it can’t be helped after hearing my answer. I don’t care if she believes me or not, so I shrug my shoulders.

“So what are you doing?”

“Well, I’m preparing for the dungeon meal.”

“That’s a story for fiction or F-rank dungeons. Who would bring such magnificent cooking utensils into a D-rank dungeon and try to make delicious food?”

I raise my hand.

“I’m talking about someone other than you!!”

“Isn’t it fine? It’s not like I’m bothering you.”

“Stop it!! The smell will attract enemies!!”

I answer with an annoyed look, but Amane suddenly approaches me and answers.

“What’s that. Doesn’t that mean you’re just afraid of insects coming?”

“I, it’s not.”

Amane turns away from me and replies with a sullen look while blushing slightly.

“Look, you can’t argue against that. And it’s okay. I’ve never been approached by a monster before.”

“Haa … I understand. I’ll help you too, so let me eat some food.”

“It can’t be helped.”

I promised to provide food in exchange for her offer of help.

Amane’s food is very delicious, so there’s no problem.

“Hmm!!”

“Shia, please just wait.”

“Hmm …”

Seeing Amane helping with the cooking, Shia suddenly raises her voice and asserts herself. She offers to help me too, but when I decline, she gets a little depressed and sits down in a camp chair with a blanket on her lap and starts looking up at the ceiling in a daze.

No, as expected, even if she’s my boss, I flatly refuse to have a second happening of the brightly colored curry that I couldn’t believe was that dish. It would be nice if she could help me like she did when I was making it before she met Nanami.

“Well then, shall we start.”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

“Aah, because Amane’s cooking was delicious. I’m looking forward to it.”

Amane and I cook together. And then, the three of us surround the prepared food and smack our lips over the delicious food.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Aah, it’s absolutely fine, so you can sleep in your own tent, okay?”

“Okay. Wake me up if something happens.”

“Roger.”

When Amane enters Shia’s Tent, I’m the only one’s left outside.

“Then, Luck, I leave the camp to you, alright?”

“Won.”(TN:Not sure why or how Luck is here.)

I manage to push Amane, who I don’t really trust, into the tent somehow, then I entrust the camp to Luck, and I sleep in my own tent as well.
