An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 130

Episode 130: After capture Fever Time

“In the end, no Bonus Monsters appeared.”

“Hmm.”

“That’s why I said there are no such monsters.”

When I murmur, Shia agrees, and Amane denies the existence of the Bonus Monsters.

“I told you there are.”

I don’t care about Amane and answer with a snort.

On Sunday, we easily clear the forest dungeon. We didn’t encounter a Bonus Monster even once until the 20th floor, and I just defeated the Boss Monster.

The Boss here was a C-rank monster, so when I tried to fight it, it burst in one hit.

Apparently, I’ve mastered the Hidden Test proficiency to the extent that I can defeat a C-rank boss monster. Fumu, after all it seems important to raise the proficiency of the active system.

“Are you going home today?”

“Hmm.”

“Rather than that, why don’t you pick it up?”

“Aah, come to think of it, I forgot.”

The magic stone that came out from the boss is a normal C-rank magic stone and doesn’t seem to have the value of the Bonus Monsters. Up until now, I had only defeated Bonus Monsters, so I almost forgot about it because it was so small.

“Then, let’s go home.”

“Yes.”

After picking up the magic stone and putting it in my bag, we get on the return magic circle and go out of the dungeon. It’s still midday outside and we have plenty of time. The clock on my phone also shows 14:00.

“What time is the bus?”

“14:20.”

“Oh, OK.”

We try to walk from teh entrance of the dungeon towards the bus stop.

-Gogogogogogogogooo

However, at that time, a roaring sound resounds throughout the area.

The actual seismic intensity is not that big, but I can feel the shaking.

“W, what, is this tremor an earthquake?”

“I remember this … get ready!!”

Even though I feel something different from an earthquake, I don’t know about any other disasters, so I thought it was an earthquake, but after Amane notices something and shouts, she holds her weapon ready and gives us orders.

“What the hell happened!!”

“It’s a stampede!! It’s coming!!”

When I ask Amane, she looks at me for a moment and answers, pointing with her chin at the gate several dozen meters ahead.

That’s what it is!!

“Are you serious!!”

“Hmm!!”

Shia and I quickly prepare ourselves.

– Don Don Don Doooooooooooooon

When I thought that the gate door was making a dull sound like being hit by construction machinery several times, the gate door was blown away and a large number of monsters appear from inside.

It is a large number of insect type monsters.

However, the color and size are different from the monsters that were originally in the forest dungeon.

“No way, those are!!”

I have something in mind when I see them.

“Bonus Monsters!!”

I suddenly become happy.

After all, I’m lucky at times like this!!

“Shia!! Bonus Monsters have appeared!! Let’s go!! It’s time to earn money!!”

“Hmm!!”

Shia and I run towards the monsters.

However, Amane doesn’t seem to follow.

“Hey, what’s wrong, Amane!!”

“No way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way!! Bugs are no way!!”

I turn around and call out to Amane, but she holds her head and crouches down.

“Understood!! We’ll defeat them, so wait a minute!!”

“Bugs scary bugs scary bugs scary …”

It looks like I can’t let even one of them pass behind me.

Afer all, if it’s a D-rank Bonus Monster, it’s no match for the current us.

“Hmm.”

Moreover, I also have Shia.

No matter how many of them come out, there’s no way they’ll be worthy opponents!!

“Let’s go, Shia!!”

“Hmm”

We head towards the gate.

“Hey!! You guyyyyyys!! Come baaaack!!”

We hear what seems to be the voice of a Union staff member behind us, but since Amane is crouching right behind us, we ignore the voice and rush forward.

“Haa!!”

“Fuu!!”

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

I swing my fist, and Shia swings her sword.

Each time, the enemies in that straight line disappear, but monsters pop out from inside to fill that gap.

Shia and I single-mindedly continue to slaughter the enemy.

“Hahahahahahahahaa. Now I can buy Nanami something good again!!”

“Hmm!!”

When I think of Nanami’s happy face, my tension suddenly rises.

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

A monster that comes before us without thinking is just a target.

A stampede where the Bonus Monsters are just rolling in is the best thing, isn’t it?

After all, normally I would have to walk through the dungeon and go all the way to where they are, but the other party came to us.

After defeating monsters countless times, after about an hour, the shadows finally came into view.

“Aah ~ !? Fever Time is already over!!”

“Unfortunate!!”

I feel sad about the gradually decreasing number of monsters.

I can’t believe the monsters from whom I can earn money so easily will disappear soon …

Shia seems to feel the same way and is disappointed. Her ahoge is also despondent.

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

-Papapapapapapapapapapaaan!!

After another 30 minutes or so, the monsters that came out from inside were only sparsely popping out, and almost no more.

“It’s over …”

“Hmm …”

Shia and I look at each other with a slightly disappointed look on our faces, then head to Amane who is crouching while processing the monsters that appear occasionally.

“Amane ~ . It’s over.”

“Bugs scary bugs scary bugs scary …”

I try calling out to Amane, but she’s been crouching and muttering since she saw the large amount of insect monsters coming out of the gate.

It can’t be helped at all …

“Aamaanee!!”

“Waa!?”

I grab the shoulder of the unresponsive Amane and shake her, and when I call her name out loud, Amane lets out a strange voice and jumps up.

“Eh? Ah? Fuhito-kun?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

She asks me while looking around and recognizes me and confirms my face.

“The bugs?”

“Almost all dead.”

I point to Shia.

Shia cuts and slashes away the monsters that sporadically come nearby.

“I, I see. I was so scaaaaared!”

“Wow!?”

Perhaps because Amane is relieved, she suddenly hugs me. Between me and Amane, the symbols of her womanhood change shape and are crushed.

Ooooooooooh!!

What tremendous offensive power.

“Ooh, Yoshiyoshi. It was scary.”

“Uu … uuuu …”

I stroke Amane’s head as she hugs me like Nanami.

Why on earth am I supposed to comfort Amane?

I have endless questions about the reason, but I can’t just leave her alone, so I keep stroking her head for a while until Amane calms down.

“I, I’m sorry.”

“Aah, no, well, everyone has things they’re not good with.”

I’m puzzled by the strangely lost Amane, but I follow up while scratching my head.

I also absolutely hate the things with the name of ‘G’, so I understand that feeling.(TN:’G’ = gokiburi aka cockroach.)

“Y, yeah. Also, umm …”

“Aah, You don’t have to worry about me telling everyone. I won’t tell anyone else.”

I reassure Amane, who is fidgeting and seems to be having trouble saying something.

I will never threaten her or force her to do anything.

“Th, thank you.”

“Don’t mind it.”

I wave my hand at Amane, who honestly bows and answer.

“Prohibition of flirting?”

“I told you, we’re not?”

Shia stands between me and Amane and asks a question while looking back and forth between us, so I deny it.

-Turururururururuuu

We are having such a conversation. And then my cell phone rings.

“Yes, hello.”

[ Hello, is this Satou-san? I’m Kurosaki. ]

“Yes, it is.”

When I answer, the owner of the voice on the other end of the phone is Kurosaki-san.

[ It’s not about dungeons, but I’m contacting you because there’s something I want Satou-san to hear first. ]

“Is that so? What on earth is going on?”

Have I ever been contacted for anything other than dungeons?

[ Umm … please calm down and listen. ]

Kurosaki-san prepares herself with an introduction.

[ Nanami-san has been kidnapped. ]

When I hear those words, my face turns white.
